Two-Cent Fare and Aldrich
Freight Bill.
From q staff correspondent

LINCOLN. June 2s.-(special)-With a
bunch q figures to back up its assertions,
the Missouri Pacific railroad today filed
with the railway commission a statement
that II Is losing .noney operating under
the 2-cent fare law and the Aldrich freight
rate law. and requested that a day be set
for a hearing OF It's application for permits
sion to increase passenger rates to 3 cents
a mile and freight rates back to the old
figures. The company assured the COM
mission II had tried faithfully to conform
TO the laws enacted by the last legislature
and the experience had demonstrated
the rates are confiscatory and not high
enough to produce sufficient revenue to
ray running expenses, much less Z per cent
interest on the investment.
The commission has no proof that this
is to be the beginning OF a general fight
on the laws enacted by the recent lesis-
lature, although this was the program pre-
dlcted at the close Of the session. The
commission welcomes the attack on the
law by the Missouri Pacific and the hear
Ing WI he set for an early date. The
hearing will give the commission an OPP
portunity to get at Information which has
heretofors been denied It and the result
will lie OF vast Importance to the COM
m ssion. It was expected this road could
show up a heavy expense account, as II
was compelled by orders Of the commits
sion to fix up its roadbed and tracks. a
job which the commission thought should
have been done some years before.
Among the figures submitted by the rail-
road in support Of its application for a
hearing are the following:

Mia TAFT banner Coming.

Visitors to Lincoln and Fairview will
shortly be greeted by an immense banner
stretched across the street. bearing the in
Ecription Nebraska for Taft under a
painting OF the republican nominee.
And why not?' said Chairman Hayward
of the republican state committee. who
morning and began active work for the re-
publican ticket
Nebraska is far Taft. Why not say so?
The republican state committee intends to
fight and the fight is on right now. 1t will
let up when the election is over. but not
before. There will be no half way bust
ness during this campaign, There will be
no compromise with Organism. Nebraska
republicans expressed themselves for Taft
over a year ago and now they have the
chance to help make him president. After
being the first state to endorse him in
convention 1t is not on the boards that the
republicans will lay down and let Bryan
get the electoral vote.
'ReSauss the republican state hsadquar-
tiers happens to be in the home town of the
democratic candidate is no reason why
the committee should put up a ~listless
fight. We didn't do 1t In 1896 and In 1900,
and we won't do it in 1908. We are going
IN to carry the state for Taft and the
committee expects the help OF every re-
publican. IN Nebraska as well as those
democrats and populists who believe in
republican principles and candidates"

ALAMOGORDO COPPER FIELD
Mr. Hunt Predicts Big Thing for Alamo
SOrGO, In Copper.
WILL SPEND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS

One day this week we had Il
long talk with Mr.. Hunt the
Alamogordo Copper King. He
is not generally known by that
name now but he may he in the
near future. Mr.. Hunt is the
man who made u fortune in
Colorado mining and after in
vestigating the mineral fields of
this territory decided to put his
money in mines near Alamogordo.
He bought the old Courtney
mine about ten miles from here
and has already put S2O,000 into
it. He has one of the best min
ing experts in Colorado in charge
and is going to eXpend about
$4,000 more before he makes
any effort to ship ore.
Mr.. Hunt says, mining is
gambling, SO is farming, there is
always chances against you, but
the mineral fields here certainly
look good to me; less would
not be putting my money into
them. The field here is twenty
times as big as the one at Butte,
Montana, and my dump shows Il
better grade than the best ore in
two mines there which declared
over seven million dollars divid-
end last year. The farmers are
rushing into this country by the
hundreds but if my mine or any
of the Others in the hills near
here turn out as | expect them
to, the farming industry will
not be Il drop in the bucket to
the mining business
Mr.. Hunt is a very conserva-
tive man and not a radical in
any sense of the word hence We
give his opinion considerable
weight. He does not claim to
have made any gnat find, he is
simply the first man in this field
with money enough to develop
it and he says that he knows the
mining business well enough to
know what it will do for the
country if his mine proves sue
cessful. He shipped a car OF ore
last week and it contained
enough silver to pay expenses,
/ per cent of copper and trace
of gold. That looks good to old
mining men. They are all hop
ing and praying with Mr.. Hunt
that he is right in his'estimation
Of the local field.
