Greensboro Poultry Show.

The Greensboro Fanciers' Assocla-
ton closed its third and most success
full exhibition at the armory in Ow-
ensboro Saturday night The contests
in almost every class were all of the
finest in poultrydom and their APP
pearance indicated the best of care
and attention on the part of their
owners.
The entire exhibit amounted to
nearly four hundred and consisted
mostly of Plymouth Rocks, barred,
white and buff Wyandottes, Leghorns
Minorcas, Langshans, Orpingtons, Bra.
mas, Houdans, Hamburghs, Rhode Is
land Reds, Games and Bantams ga
lore. The turkey was there, some of
them forty pounds strong, while a va
riety of fine ducks and geese re-
ceived their share of attention from
the goodly crowds that visited the
show from day to day.
Mrs. Jno. b. Wilson, of Hartford,
and Mr.. Jno. p. Foster, of No Creek,
with their Barred Plymouth Rocks,
and Mr.. f. M. Morton, Centertown,
with his Buff and White Orpingtons,
were among the exhibitors and each
carried home some of the premiums.
Judge Heck, of the Successful Poul-
try Journal, Chicago, did the scoring
and tied the ribbons in manner that
indicated that he knows a chicken"
when he sees it, but neither knows or
cares to whom 1t belongs.
We congratulate our sister city and
county on it's success in this most
laudable enterprise. May its exhibit
ton .b,,,finer and larger each year.

TO POTOS|
"BOrax" Smith May Retaliate
Against Salt Lake

1t is persistentiy stated to be the in
tention of 'BOrax' Smith to build a
branch line from the T. * T 40 miles to
the Potosi mining district near Las ' t.
gas on the Salt Lake route. A good
freight business now comes out OF this
camp to the Salt Lake road. Santa re
officials deny that their company has
any intention oi constructing such a
branch and that they knew anything
about Mr.. smiths project.
Should Smith make such a move 1t
would probably be to retaiate Tor the
shabby treatment he received from the
Salt Lake when he started to build the
T. 4 T. from Las Vegas two years ago,
and was forced to abandon it on account
of excessive freight tai ifs on material.
Smith could afford to build to the Po-
tosi and buy it, as the revenue from
this and the Lila c mine would main
tain his whole railroad system, regard
less of other traffic.

Senator Campbell

DR.. j. d. Campbell OF Pioche, state
Senator from Lincoln county, Vas in Las
Vegas Wednesday, leaving for Salt Lake
Thursday.
The Senator is enthusiastic IN defense
of his position on the railroad bill. He
saws that the maximum rate clause IS
unconstitutional and will be knocked
ont by the courts; that the bill Is TOO
radical and inconsistent; that it was IN
troduced as a bluff to gain popular favor
and was never intended to pass both
branches of the legislature. He claims
to believe with Governor Sparks that no
legislation against the railroads should
have been attempted at this time
Though the law is nullified in its most
important provision, the railroad COM
mission will continue TO hold office at
an expense IL the State oil some S3O,OO
or 900 per year.
Senator Campbell endorses the Lin
coin county refunding bill and believes
il should be taken advantage OF as soon
as possible The Senator fathered the
biil.)
The bill reapportioning membership
from the various assembly districts he
saws is unconstitutional and will cause
trouble. Asked what proportion OF the
bills passed were supposed to be nn-
constitutional the Senator hesltated 10
answer.
Political feeling, he says, played an
important part in all legislation. The
appropriation made for the Governor 5
mansion at Carson was allowed to go oy
def nit because of this feeling.
All in all the Senator does not pay
pay any glowing tribute to the recent
legislature.

SALE PENDING
For Famous White Ranch and
Timber Rights

From a reliable source il is learned
'tnat Harsha White, Of Manse, Nevada,
has purchased the entire timber and
sawmiil interests of \. Clark in the
Charleston mountains. As Mr.. White
owned and controlled the other inter
ests in this timber tract this gives him
absolute control of all the timber and
water on the west side OF the Charleston
range not covered by the Government
timber reserve.
Mr. White was seen. recently in Las
Vegas on his return trip from the north
and stated that he was arranging for a
sale OF his entire property. This would
include the White ranch, in the south
ern part OF Nve county, which for years
has been famous a. resort for the
millionaire, the miner and prospector ;
also the timber tract mentioned, and
when consumated would be the largest
sale ever made in southern Nye county.

Shameful Service

Las Vegas merchants complain that
the local freight service on the Salt Lake
is worse than in the days of the old OK
trail
Freight for Arden, Gina, Lyons and
other nearby stations is often several
days in reaching its destination, and
customers of Las Vegas merchants have
been forced to the extremity OF shipping
their supplies by express, at enormous
cost.
This condition handicaps local mer-
chants in their immediate territory and
turns trade away from Las Vegas.
There are many avenues OF investiga-
ton open to the railroad commission.
Railroads operating by virtue OF valu-
able public franchises should be COM
PEELED to give reasonable service.
there is no reasonable excuse why
goods consigned at Las Vegas to the
points above named should not be de
livered at least once in each "a hours.
