it yet. This decision is first step

And Then On This

And Then On This
II. F. Bartine, chairman Of the State
Railway Commission, is compiling q
brief to be filed in the Federal Court
showing that the freight rates charged
in Nevada are more than three times as
high as those charged by the Southern
Pacific on other portions of its lines.
The Nevada rates are said to be 3.0S
times as great as the average Of all the
remaining portion of the railroad sys-
tenn. The Commission further says that
the Nevada haul costs 3.75 times as
much as the interstate hauls made
through the State. Bartine asks why
it should cost 3.75 times as much to haul
a carload of local freight as carload Of
interstate freight. If the maximum
rates in the present Nevada bill were
enforced it is claimed that the profits Of
the road would be greater than on any
other portion of the system.-Rhyolite

Set the Pace,

Young Mabel had habit when soup
was served at the table Of mushing
her crackers or bread in it until it
was great mess. Her mother made
many efforts to have her correct this
strictly primeval habit.
One day there was to be company at
the table, and the mother said:
"Now, Mabel, Mrs. Brown is to dine
with US tonight, and want you to act
at the table just as nicely as she does.
Please don't 'mush' your SOUP
Mabel promised faithfully to follow
the example set by Mrs. Brown, and
the dinner opened with every promise
Of fine time. However, Mabel was
using pair Of very sharp eyes on
Mrs. Brown and in an instant blurted
forth at the top Of her voice:
'Oh, mamma, Mrs. Brown is 'mush-
ing! May IY'
