NATIONAL WOOL GROWERS SECURE
REDUCTION FOR FEEDING IN TRANSIT

In letter received few days age
from Secretary George S. Walker Of
the National Wool Growers Associa-
tion, Cheyenne, Wyoming, it is an
nounced that the efforts of the asso-
citation to secure reduction in the
charges for grazing sheep-in- transit at
stations on the Union Pacific. Chicago
and Northwestern, Burlington, Chicago
andGreat Western, Chicago and Mil
waukee and St. Paul and other roads,
are meeting with success. The rates
at all these stations with one or two
exceptions, has been one and one-half
cents per head per day, but the Chi
cago and Great Western made rate
of one cent per head per day, and now
the Chicago and Northwestern has re-
duced the charge for grazing sheep at
Bellvidore, Ashton and LaFox. the
principal feeding stations between
Omaha and Chicago, to one cent per

head per day.
This matter was taken up with the
Geding stations by Secretary Walker
early in July. and he is still in cores
pondence with the manager of feed
yards and the traffic managers of sew
eral other lines, and he is in hopes of
securing the desired reduction on all
lines. This reduction to one cent per
head per day for grazing sheep is u
very important one to the sheepmen of
Nevada who annually make heavy ship
ments to Omaha and Chicago, and if
the same concession can be secured
from the other roads, it will mean
saving to all western shippers of many
thousands of dollars annually.
This is only one of the many i'm
portant matters the National Associa-
tion is working on. The organization
rs growing rapidly and is becoming
power for good to the sheep raisers
and wool growers of the country

established auxiliary plants at Span

at Provo and Springville. Here the
beets are crushed and the juice con-
veyed to the main factory by means OF

ACCORDING TO STATEMENT
OF T. r. CUTLER OF SALT LAKE
Facts Relative to Utah-Idaho Sugar
Company-Good News for Nevada
Wool Producers

T. r. Cutler, vice president and gen
eral manager, and M. w. Ingalls,, chief
engineer, of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company, with headquarters at Salt
Lake, were in the city yesterday
Their specific business in Humboldt
county at this time was to examine the
Nevada Alamedan Cinnibar company IS
properties in American canyon, which
they did Sunday. Mr.. Cutler, who, by
the way, is a brother of Governor
Cutler of Utah, when interviewed By
representative of the Silver State
News at the Lafayette yesterday, had
the following to say in reference to
the mines.
"We took a run over to American
canyon Sunday, to inspect the Adam
son properties at that point, in which
we have an interest The mines now
make a fine showing, and in our judg-
bent the ore should run fully 2 per
cent in cinnibar, which is SO per cent
pure mercury.
'As there are no plants in this
vicinity that reduce cinnibar ores, It
will be necessary for the company to
erect a plant for this purpose at the
mine. We are credibly informed that
at a cost of $1,000 plant of sufficient
size to handle 80 tons of ore a day
can he erected.
"While it is estimated that the ores
will run fully per cent in cinnibar,
if they should go but | per cent the
mines can be operated at handsome
profit

of the Silver State News would be
pleased to learn something of your

BOxCAR THIEVES
STILL BUSY

An organized gang of pirates have
been robbing Southern Pacific box-cars
for long time and their depreda-
tions have cost the company thousands
of dollars. The zone of activity
seems to be that stretch Of desola.e
mountain country lying between Blue
Canyon, California, and Verdi, Nevada.
Last spring several of the thieves were
apprehended, and upon their confession
number Of Truckee merchants were
indicted for receiving stolen property.
1t was then hoped that the gang had
been broken up, but the following,
taken from yesterdays Gazette, would
indicate that the work is being carried
on to greater extent than ever be-
fore:
The box car thieves are doing Z
prosperous business between Reno and
Sacramento and that they are an
organized band of daring men, work
ing according to system, was brought
to the attention Of the freight depart
ment of the Southern Pacific in a very
vivid manner on Saturday, when car
of merchandise consigned to Reno
merchants arrived at Reno nearly emp
ty. The merchants to whom the mer-
chandise had been consigned were noti-
fed to appear at the freight Office be-
fore Agent Fulton and file claims for
their loss. This was done and their
claims will be promptly settled.
1t was reported in Reno on Sunday
that on Saturday an entire freight
train had been robbed between Reno
and Sacramento, but on inquiry at the
office of Agent Fulton it was learned
that instead of an entire train an en-
tire ear had been pilfered and that the
goods had been stolen from the car
while it was in motion and not when
it was on some side track, as is usually
the case
''The merchants of Reno who lost
their goods in this burgfarized ear
are as follows: NJ Frank & Co., cloth
iers; H. w. Hilborn, dry goods; Cam
Drug company, Reno Power, Light and
Water company, F. r. Young, Nevada
Hardware and Supply company, Morris
Decorative company. Each merchant
had few of his goods left in the car
when it arrived in Reno( but each case
in the car had been opened and some
thing taken from each one
For months this gang of organize
box ear thieves has been robbing many
cars, but this is the first time that the
thieves have stolen nearly the entire
contents of single car. Just how they
did this is unknown, but that they
committed successful burglary is
admitted.
"Agent Fulton states that the loss
is not near as large as has been re-
ported.'
