Railroad Report Shown Up

A Galveston dispatch says: Th' railroad commission has exposed the reports of the Texas railroads and showed the decrease in gross earnings for the past nine months to have been $4,OO0,OOO, instead of SS,000,00O, as claimed by the roads. The com mission declares that over 50 per cent of the decrease is ficti- tious, due to the new system of bookkeeping of certain railroad ac- counts as ordained by the inter state commerce commission.
 Comparison is made with the earninge of 1907, which the Texas commission shows was an unpre cedented year for Texas roads, in which they had more traffic than they could handle. Earnings for the past nine months as compared with the same period of 1904 show an increase of $2, ,5OO,OOO, it is said.

The Flagstaff base ball team came down Sunday from the ''Skylight City" with banners fly ing, flushed with victory. They returned a few hours later, with banners trailing in the dust, gloomy with defeat.
 The ball game was about the best and most hotly contested one the fans have had the plersure oi witnessed on the local diamond this season.
 Both teams played good ball, and during the entire game inter est was keep at the highest pitch. IS was witnessed by the enthusias- tic "rooting" indulged in by the spectato tors.

saying that a man who makes a spe-

about, and Is more proficient in his
