NEW YORK, July 24.-It was learn
ed today through sources identified
with the Standard Oil Company that
the s29,2t0,OOO case is not likely to
go to the supreme court of the United
States. Nor is it believed the case
will be retired before Judge Lands,
as the Standard Oil Co, would protest
against it and ask that some other
Judge sit in the case.
The issues involve no constitutional
questions. such as are necessary to
take the action of the Supreme Count.

Copper Basin Mining and Milling
Company had large smelter plant
shipped to Wells to be taken to the
Bald Mountain district in the north
west part of White Pine County.
When the financial slump came on
the company was hard hit and could
not, or did not, pay the freight
charges amount to large sum. 1t
has done nothing since, and the big
lot of machinery is to be sold at
auction on August 9th to pay the
freight charges. The Copper Basin
Company was supposed to have large
backing and Mrs. Ella Rawless Read
er a New YorH woman of wealth, is
said to be heavny interested in it.
The company. in addition to the
mines and smelter, was to own a rail
road between Wells and later to
Hamilton in Southern Nevada.

MAY GET TER
MINAE- RATE
Action Of Railroad Com
mission Brings Some
Results

That petition of the merchants of
Reno, forwarded by the State Rail-
way Commission to the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Washington
seems to have resulted in something
already, for now prominent officials
of the Oregon Short Line are in town
seeking to make the acquaintance of
the mercantile part of the community
and learn from them exactly what
is wanted.
The situation in nutshell is this:
Reno is on the main line of the Har-
riman system Of railways. Since the
Central Pacific was completed and
the Virginia & Truckee with it's con-
nection, the Carson & Colorado, for
merly running from Mound House to
keeler, began running, this has been
great distributing point and all
merchandise for the Comstock. Ca
son the rich Carson valley and as
far into California as Keeler, has
passed through this city. Notwith-
standing that Reno, then, was and is
the most important junction point
between Salt Lake and Sacramento,
the city does not enjoy the same
railway privileges that such town
as Marysville in California does, for
this is not terminal" point
Technically, if not actually. all
goods from Chicago to Reno are
carried through Reno 10 San
Francisco and then shipped back to
Reno, so that the shipper of his city
has to pay the freight from Chicago
to San Francisco and back from San
Francisco to Reno. The merchants
of this city think the time has come
to change this condition of affairs.
They do not expect that Reno will
be declared terminal point with all
the privileges, for example of great
seaport like San Francisco, but they
do expect to be given the same privi-
leges as an intermediate terminal
point-that is the principal place Of
transshipment in a state-now pos
sessed in other states. Even Goshen
Junction. shed and a barn in the
upper San Joaquin valley, California,
has such standing.-Reno Journal.

CITY WILL PURCHASE
CHEMICAL ENGINE
And Warrsn Engine Company Will
Probably Occupy Old Curry
House. More Street Work

A joint meeting of the City Trus
tees and the County Commissioners
was held last evening for the pur-
pose of considering the proposition
made to them by the Warren Engine
Company.
The engine company has been asked
to move into o-e Curry Engine House,
to take charge thereof and to have
full control of the fire fighting ap-
paratus of the city and county. A
meeting of the company was held
last week and it was the desire Of
the company to move into the more
commOdOus quarters providing they
were to have full charge and also
be provided with a chemical fire en-
glne.
At the meeting last evening the
proposition of the company under
these lines was accepted and the city
will purchase an up-todate chemical
engine, costing in the neighborhood
of $1,000. The county will retain
the steamer that has been in use for
many years for the purpose of giving
further fire protection in case the
water mains in the city should be
injured in any way ana the fire
plugs should be rendered useless.

Relative Will
Oppose Taft

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 24.-iWith
the Prohibition National Convention
today, it became apparent that VIM.
Howard Taft, Republican nominee
for President, is not going to get
the votes of all the members of his
family.
The Rev. S. H. Taft, of California
cousin to William Howard, got in this
afternoon and put himself on record
right away.
Yes, it's true that I'm a relative
of Judge Taft he said, truculently,
but l wouldn't vot for him if he
were my father
ANY man who would advise the
people of Oklahoma to vote against
the Prohibition clause in the Consti-
tuition must repent very thoroughly
before I give him my support.
Another of the Taft family dead set
against the Republican nominee is the
Rev. William J. Taft, who came to-
day at the head of the Connecticut
delegation.
Il can't support Judge Taft" he
said, even though he's my first cous-
in. l shall support the Prohibition
nominee at the poles and shall work
for his election
Strangely enough, the biggest Presi-
Dental boom yet started here is for
the Republican, Governor Frank
Handy, of Indiana.
