BANKRUPTED ONE ROAD

For an example of paternalism run
to seed, commends us to the Georgia
Railroad Commission and it's Chair
man. The very latest instance is a
letter by Mr.. McLendon, in which he
suggests to the Southern road a
scheme to steal march on the Cen
trail of Georgia, which has failed to
bow the knee to the self-made au-
tocrats
For an example of the ruin which
an unrestrained railroad commission
brings upon a commonwealth the
receiyership of the international G
Great Northern road in Texas is a
good one. The road this week asked
that receiver be appointed to save
their property from the depredations
of the railroad commission.
President George ]. Gould gives out
the following statement of the situa-
ton:
The receivership for the Internal
ional and Great Northern Railroad
company causes no surprise, and is
due to conditions and reasons almost
entirely local.
While there has been an almost
unprecedented falling off in revenues
due to the business depression pre-
vailing in Texas and elsewhere, and
affecting every branch of industry,
this alone would not have caused the
action now taken. At a time when
revenues are the leanest and business
is at the lowest ebb the company is
called upon by the state commission
to make additions and improvements
to its fixed and rolling plant and
revisions of its property involving the
expenditure of several millions of dol
lars, and to proceed in these eXpendi-
lures upon a schedule prescribed by
the commission without regard to cur
rent expenses or the ability of
the company to secure funds to meet
the expenditure.
These orders have come on top of
a decrease in gross earnings for the
last four months of $98900 or a de-
crease at the rate of nearly $4,000
600 a year. 1t has been impossible
to reduce expenses anywhere near
proportionately Even were the
earnings as large as formerly they
would not provide for these extern
sive and immediate OUTLAWS and the
laws of Texas do not admit if financial
markets did, of the issue and sale of
securities to do the work required
of the company.
"The orders of the commission have
the effect of laws unless certified by
the court and the requirements now
placed on the company for these
great and immediate OUTLAWS without
the revenues, the credit, the securi-
ties, or the market to provide the
mean such insolvency as would
under the laws of Texas empower the
state authorities to apply for a re-

UNIFORM SYSTEM

Nevada has a long uphill pull
ahead before she can get in shape
for systematic conduct of state
business. This is the statement of
State Auditor Henderson, who is
looking into county affairs at Ely
in his official capacity. "At pres
ent ! am not trying to audit books
thoroughly" said Mr.. Henderson.
at is my intention to first get u
good general working system intro
duced in the various county Offices
all over the state. This will rend-
er my report later in the year
much easier. At present there is
no system in general vogue in the
counties. Some of the county
officers are working on the straight
salary plan, while others are work
Jug under the fee system. ! am
establishing n system in each
otlic which will expedite matters
greatly. 1t will he fairly easy for
me under this system to get n

new TOWN FOR
LAKE VALLEY

The map of Al-Tahoe was filed
with the county officials this week
as preliminary To placing on the
southern end of Lake Tahoe which
forms "A part of the old Rowland
property near Buou. The property
comprises SS blocks of about Is
lots each, the usual size being 80
by 40 feet. There are eleven
streets running east and west and
eight north and south. The strip
of land fronting on the lake is re-
served as public park accessible
to all and there is also a park re-
served in the middle of the sub
division.
The plat is filed by Mrs. Soph-
ronia Rowland, her daughter, Mrs.
Fannie Barton, and A. r. Sprague
of Sacramento, who is marketing
the subdivision.
1t is likely that "Al-Tahoe," the
new city of the Sierra, will be
heard of considerably in the future.

Carson Valley Leads all Other
PROMOTERS OF

We have the liberty this week to
make known the parties who are
figuring on installing an electric
p'ant on the river few miles
above town. Fred Sarman, owner
of the Douglas Flour Mill, and the
Creamery people are figuring Oh
such a plant to be installed
near the above IN i | /. A t
that place there is ample water
power to run an electric plant of
something over 100 h. p. enough to
furnish power and lights to the
farmers living along the line Of the
proposed route, and the creamery.
Undoubtedly the line will be ex-
tended to Gard dnerville and by
charging IA reasonable and uniform
rate, capture all of the business of
this town. The estimated cost of
the plant is $4,000 and while def :
mite conclusions have not as yet
been reached, there is eveav reason
to believe that such a plant will be
constructed.

after the honor of leading ali other
districts in the dairy and creamery
industry. BY one paper it is

cries lead all others in quality as
well as quantity. While we do
not wish to detract from the glories
of the institutions of our sister
Valley, yet we wish it understood
that Carson Valley creameries are
far in the lead OF like institutions
in Nevada, both in the quality Of
butter manufactured and the a
mount made during the year.
The first custom Iereamery to be

has always been prevalent in the
Roman Catholic Church and was
originally adopted for the purpose
of affording any person to object,
providing there was any Just cause
why the marriage should not take
place.

tent OF the question today, it is EN-
ploycd in nearly all Anglican
and Luthern Churches in the East

daily operation. At the Mid
Winter Fair held in San Francisco
in 1903, the product of the Douglas
Creamer carried of the first prize
and won from thirty -four cream
cries that were striving for honors
in the contest. This put Douglas
butter, not only in the lead in Ne
vada, but on this coast, and the
merits won at the Fair of 1903 is
still held by this institution. A
few months ago the Fairview
creamery was established and dur
ing its brief existence, has, by its
superior product, created a market
far beyond the capacity of the
creamery.
Figuring on the output of these
institutions at the present time
and when the same is at the low
est notch of the entire season, the
aggrega ted valuation of the years
output will exceed Sl50,000.

lake care of herself for the past few

burden of her cars increased and
they concluded that the hospital

where she could receive needed

side her husband and children who
are buried near the house she has
occupied all these years.
Her husband, James Dickson,

Old Hermit S
Career Ends

MAC" Mackinsev, the old nan
who lived life of solitudn n in,.
Nut for seventeen years wl;"eut
leaving his adobe during that
space of time, and who was brought
to Gardnerville three weeks ago
because of sickness, died Monday
night. He had recovered from ms
first illness only to cont - =. ,re
serious complications.
His remains were laid to re.'i in
the Garden cemetery Tuesd ~
morning, Rev. Menzel officiating.
Thus ends the mysterious career of
a man who had nearly reached the
century mark, the greater part OF
which was spent in a lonely
cabin far from civilized life. In
his he. nit env ormnen ,howev r, et
it be known, he did not forget his
God or his duty TO fellow man, rs
was proven during his last few
days spent on earth.
Very little of his past life is
known, more than he has niece
living in a distant state. Four
years ago she visited the old
man at his mountain home and
while ,making inquiries in Gard
nervilie she dropped enough To
give the understanding that Mae
Kinsey was worth considerable
money, but up on her return from
Pine Nut, seemed greatly displeas-
ed with her trip. There is posi-
tive evidence that the old man had
no money. His funeral expenses,
aside from the coffin, were defrly-
ed by Vim. Starke. 1t is said thai
MacKinsey worked in the mines at
Gold Hill in the pioneer days and
was n member of the miners union.

MARRIED IN
SAN FRANCISCO

Miss Maggie Hickey, we |
known in this Valley, and Wallace
Park of Sheridn, were united in
marriage in San Francisco Febru-
AIRY 4th. After short stay in
that city, the young couple will re-
turn to this Valley to take up
their permanent residence.
The bride is the daughter of
James Hickey of this Valley, and
has made many warm friend by
her agreeable and charming per-
sonality. The young lady ac-
companied her father to San Fran
cisco some weeks ago where he went
to receive medical treatments, and
the friends of the young couple did
not know that she would return to
Carson Valley a bride.
The groom is the eldest son of D..
b. Park, one of Carson Valleys
staunchest citiz-ns. He is young
man of sterling worth and is held
in the highest esteem by wide
circle of friends.
This paper joins with their many
friends in wishing them long and
happy life of welded bliss.

MAIL ROUTES
TO Be CHANGED

The government is advertising
for bids for carrying the mail on
different routes in this section and
according to the information set
forth, some radical changes are to
be inaugurated. The stage route
between Carson and Genoa is to be
abandoned and will so be as soon
as the train carries the mail to
Minden which will be about March
9th. The route from Genoa to
Sheridan will also be thing of
the past. A new route from Min
den to Waterloo, thence to Sheri-
dan and onward to Markleeville is
to be established by the govern
ment. Genoa will receive mail via
Minden and the route now in ex-
istance between these two points
will be maintained.
The change will materially effect
those who live along the route of
the old line between Sheridan and
Genoa as well as between Genoa
and Carson. 1t has been Gus
tomary for the stage to stop at the
differene ranches and leave the
mail each day, convenience that
will be greatly missed by those
who will now need go to the
nearest town TO get their daily
mail.
