On Sunday next the Capitals OF
this city will cross bats with the Vir-
ginia City nine ON the local diamond
and the game promises to be a hotly
one For many years the
Comstockers held the baseball cham
pionship of the state and while their
team is not in the league they claim
they will bring down a team Sunday
that can hold its own with any of the
league teams OF the state.
The two players which were releas-
ed by the Capitals have departed for
Goldfield where they will enter that
team and play against the Tonopah
contingent on Saturday and Sunday.
Their places have been filled in the
home team.
The report current that Capitals
were to disband and leave the league
is without foundation. They have pat
a proposition before the teams OF
Tonopah and Goldfield to play a six
game match, three games in each
town between the southern teams and
If the proposition is taken up, and il
undoubtedly will be, they will leave
for these cities the latter part OF the
month. The arrangements at present

ITS FREIGHT RATES

The Nevada-California-O Oregon rail.
road increased its freight rates ten
per cent, effective at once. The road
is located almost wholly within the
state of California and as a conse-
quence the Syphus railroad act in
this state does not govern its tariffs
Announcements has also been made
that the rate upon lumber on the
coast will be increased from S to 10
per cent. This rate will make a cor
responding increase in the price of
building throughout this and adjoin-
ing states.

GOLDFIELD, July 19.-The excite

mendous impetus has been added to

FEDERATION
Demands That Watch
men be Fired and
Union Men Put in

GODFIELD. July 19.-The Miners
Union, at mass meeting here yester-
day afternoon, voted to notify the
Consolidated Company that the two
watchmen, over the employment OF
whom trouble has been brewing for
some time past, must be discharged.
The Western Federation of Miners
claims jurisdiction over all men en-
ployed in or about the mines. The
Mine Owners Association, on the
other hand, claims that the watch
men are special employees hired to
guard the company's interests and to
report any dereliction, not only on
the part of the miners, but on the part
of foremen and superintendents and
employees generally, and therefore
should not be under the jurisdiction
and control OF any labor organization.
AT the mass meeting of the miners
neld two weeks ago, action was post
pOned d. the request of the Nine
Owners Association, who requested
that all disputes, including the ques-
ton Of jurisdiction over the watch
men, be referred to permanent
grievance committee to be appointed
by the miners and the mine owners.
The vote today shows that the
miners are not in favor of the griev-
ance committee and have determined
to force the issue

Hartman Closes Down His Coal
Mines i'm Oredr to "PuniSh" the
Government and the People
Of This State Must Freeze
or Import Their Fuel

Or in other words this means that
if the people of this and other Sec
tions in Western Nevada want fuel
this winter they must arrange for
its delivery from British Columbia
or Australia by the way OF San Fran
cisco:
The letter from Mr. Clapp follows:
Reno, New, July Is, 1907.
Mr.. e. l.. Bridge, Secy Nevada Com
mercial League, Reno, New.
Dear Sir:-Replying to your favor
OF the 18th, inst, regarding the coal
situation:
From the investigations made by
this Office, l understand the current
prices on lump coal at all the mines
is 81 per ton, but there is such a de-
mand for this commodity that it is
highly probable that the price has

to do SO, draw their supply of coal
from California. By this l mean Brit
ish Columbia or Australian coal.
Should any new facts develop, l shall
Immediately notify your office in de-
tail. Very Respectfully,
(Signed.) F. w. CLAPP.

The above will come as severe
blow to several of the merchants in
this city who have had orders for
large shipments of coal in for many
months and who were depending up
on delivery. One merchant in this
city has an order in for 1000 tons OF
coal, but from the above it looks
doubtful whether a delivery will be
made.
A representative of the government
was in this city one day last week and
made the statement that he would not
guarantee that the government would
be able to deliver the required amount
OF fuel to keep the boilers in the
government building warm during
the coming winter
Under these conditions the fuel
question of the coming winter looks
anything but pleasant.

PROPERTY
DESTRUCTION
Caused by Thoughtless
Boys Endeavoring to
Get Green Fruit

A number of complaints are heard
daily in this city about the way sew
sral boys are breaking the apple
trees in many of the yards in order
to obtain the green apples hanging
to the trees.
There are very few homes here
that have not fruit trees in their
yards and ir a number of instances
the fences surrounding the property
have been taken away and concrete
walks laid, thereby improving the
appearance of the property. These
places are therefore an easy prey to
the boys and they not only obtain the
desired fruit but in SO doing break
off the limbs of the trees with clubs
and otherwise destroy the property
1t seems to us that there should be
some way of protecting the property
of these citizens. In one instance in
particular a property owner in the
eastern part of the town who has
quite number if fancy fruit trees il
his yard has had them nearly ruined
by the boys breaking Off the branches
in order to obtain the small green
apples which, after procuring, they
shy at every dog in sight and in some
cases take a long shot at somebody s
windows.
1t seems that they do these things
more from the pure love of mischief
than from the desire OF getting the
fruit and if an object lesson was made
Of a few Of them it might result il

been raised. l really do not know
what to say to you about this matter.
The outlook is very serious indeed
for next winter in the intermOuntain
district; there seems to be no indica-
ton OF its improving.
The trouble is due to shortage Of
miners and the continuation of labor
troubles generally. l wish to dis
abuse your mind of the impression
that this shortage of coal is due to
lack OF railway equipment and to as
sure you that We have all the neces-
sary equipment on hand, and shall
be in position until next October to
haul more coal than can possibly be
mined.

Hawkins sailed to the coast of Guinea,
where he procured 800 negroes and
sold them to the Spaniards in America.
Flemish and Genoese merchants also
engaged in the traffic. The first slaves
were introduced in the English Ameri-
can colonies by Dutch trader, who In
1919, sold twenty of them to the set
tiers at jamestown, Va. In 1850 the
British parliament gave leave to the
American colonies to trade in negroes
as slaves. The legislature Of COnnecti-
cut, early in 1884, passed an act that no
negro or mulatto child born within
that state after March 1 of that year,
should be held in servitude longer than
until the age of Il years. Slavery was
abolished in New Jersey, February Is,
1904, by an act of the legislature. 1t
applied to all persons born in that
state after July 4, $50. the male child,
rem to be free at Is years of age and
the females at Fl. The Northern people
had slaves mostly as domestic servants
1t was the great cotton and tobacco
crops and the warmer climate that es-
tablished slavery in the south.

WHOLE FAMILY IN JAIL.
Husband, Wife and Child With Hard
Names, Are in Cells.

SEATTLE, Feb. 11.-Mrs. Helen
Montoski, of Ballard, formerly of Raw
ensdale, was brought to the county
jail last evening with her six-months'-
old child and lodged in the woman's
ward to answer a statutory charge.
Across the corridor from her in the
north tank rests Theodore Mostoski,
her husband. A week ago, in the east
tank, Anton Kopchinski was confined,
believed to be the woman's paramount.
Such is the brief but complete criminal
history of the family which until
few months ago resided happily at the
little upland mining town.
Mostoski was brought to this city
from British Columbia a few weeks
ago by Deputy Sheriff Starwich to
answer charge of embezzling $14OO
from the Pacific Brewing & Mailing
company of Tacoma. A few days later
Mrs. Mostoski sent Kopchinski to Jail
on a charge of cruelty, and the woman
is now incarcerated with her child.
Kopchinski was discharged.

TED-i . CRAZE WONDERFUL

All Fingers in Germany Were Busy
With the Little Beasts.
More than 10000 nimble fingers were
busy all year in Germany trying to
make enough Teddy bears for the chill
dren of the United States. Several
manufac turers in this country tried to
help out.
College girls and society women
have taken up the fad, says the Bos-
ton Herald, and there is no telling
where the craze will stop. The bear
ish tone of State street or Wall street
is nothing to the bearish domination
of the toy market.
Toy dealers themselves can't ex'
plain the Teddy bear craze. But the
bear is now in his second year and
his Information has improved him.
The craze seems to have started at
Atlantic city. A child there, says one
chronicle, saw a lovable looking little
brown plush bear in a shop window
one day and had his mother buy 1t
for him. 1t was a bear made by an
old lady in Germany. Other children
saw the child with the bear and cop
led. Visitors to Atlantic City took
home with them the bear fad, and the
bear craze was in the saddle.

MAINE RATS ARE WISE ONES
Pierce jackson Tells An Unusually Big
One.


MACWAHOC, Me-, Feb. 11.-Proof
that even the rats of Maine are mighty
Smart-almOSt as smart, in fact as
some folks-is furnished by Pierce
Jackson, who says he hopes to friZZle
in the regions below if his story isn't
true Most of Jackson's neighbors
think he is elected to frzzle.
Jackson says that when a neighbour
barns burned recently the rats colon
izing there invaded his Outbuidings
and made merry with anything edible
they could lay tooth to. But, so far as
he knew, they kept shy Of his house,
in the cellar of which he had stored
supply of fine vegetables for winter
use.
Among these vegetables were bins
of choice potatoes, carrots, beets and
turnips. The farmer expected that they
would last until way into the summer,
but one day when he went down-cel-
lar to draw a pail of cider he noticed
that the potatoes and carrots seemed
to be giving out. He was extremely
puzzled, for there was no one about
to steal his supplies, and the mystery
deepened until he caught a rat in the
barn.
He noticed that this particular rat
was bare to the skin on his back. The
fur had entirely disappeared and the
cuticle shone like polished mahogany.
Several other rats were in a similar
condition and for a time Jackson
couldn't account for it, Then, being
sure he had solved the mystery of the
hairless rats and disappearing pro-
vender, he took post IN the cellar to
prove his theory.
THE first night l found my sus-
picions were correct" he says. IAN
army of rats came over from the barn
and entered through a hole in the wall
When all had gathered one-third sized
potatoes or carrots and clasping them
in their paws, lay on their backs. Then
the rest of the army seized them by
the tails and drew them to the barn
BY watching where they had stored
my vegetables 1 recovered half they
had stolen"

NAVY and AGRICULTURE IN SENATE
QUESTION, ITO BE DIS
cUSSED BY KAHN IN HUB OF

At the close of last week the naval
appropriation bill was before the
house and the army bill in the senate
and both will be proceeded with at
the earliest opportunity by the two
houses respectively. The senate will
continue it work on the army bill, but
the house will devote Monday to leg
islatiOn to the district of Columbia
and will not resume work on the ap-
plications until Tuesday. When the
army bill is taken up the first sub
ject of consideration will be the
amendment authorizing army officers
and the government to accept reduced
or free transportation and it is ex-
pected that the debate on that point
will continue. That matter disposed
of, the bill will be speedily passed.
The general debate in the house on the
naval bill will give place on Tuesday
to speeches under the five minute rule.
and it is not expected that the meas
ure will consume much more time.
In the house the postoffice appro-
priation bill will be next to receive at
tention, while in the senate the Dis
trict of Columbia bill will follow the
army budget and it in turn will be fol-
lowed by the agricultural appropria-
ton bill. Senator Lodge will make an
effort in the senate on Tuesday to Sc
cure consideration of the Philippine
agricultural bank bill.
