To the Commercial Clubs. Merchants
and Citizens of Nevada:
Gentlemen = For many years the
growth and prosperity of the State OF
Nevada, aud that portion Of California
east of the Sierra range, have been re-
tarded and held back. and the cost OF
living made unnecessarily high by the
unjust, excessive and discriminative
rates of freight charged to all parts OF
the State not only on the necessities Of
life, but on everything that tends to the
making and upbuildiDg Of the State.
All efforts to have the freight rates to
the State reduced so as to permit its
people to prosper and the different
communities within the State to grow
have SO far been ignored, and to use the
expression published in n Of the Cali.
fornia leading daily papers. said to have
emanated from the San Francisco Mer-
chants exchange. while we admit that
Nevada is charged exorbitant and unjust
rates of freight, yet. we have the State
by the throat, with a strangle hold. and
do not propose to release that hold"
Some months ago the citizens Of Reno,
backed by the Commercial Club,
petitioned the State Railroad Com
mission of Nevada to present the case
of the people of Nevada to the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Washing ton.
in consequence Of which the State Rail-
road Commission, on behalf OF the
citizens, filed complaint with the Inter
state Commerce Commission, against
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company
and allied lines. asking the Interstate
Commission to grant a hearing looking
to the fair and equitable adjustment Of
freight rates to this State.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has acknowledged the petition and will
give q hearing in the near future, the
exact date of which has not been settled.
The State Railroad Commission Of
Nevada, assisted by a corps of able rate
men, have been working hard for some
time past tabulating these different rates
and making comparisons. 30 as to
present a strong case when the hearing
is held. What we ask is: To be placed
on the same basis as other States. such
as Utah. Idaho. Montana and Washing
ton, all of which have intermediate ter.
minal points within the State. and in
consequence of which, they have grown
and prospered and their resources have
been developed.
We have allied against Us powerful
interests. Not only the railroad itself

wholesale interests who do not wish Il
see Nevada free herself and become ar
independent State, and have declared
that they will spend any amount neces
sary to defeat the petition for bettel
rates for the State.
As it will take a large sum Of money
to pay for expert witnesses and Is
sistants employed in the working n
and proper presentation of tais case, an
as the State Commission of Nevada ha'
not the funds at their disposal to defray
these expenses. it falls upon the citizenl
of Nevada t. dopat, the necessary
means to carry on this fight. As this IL

business or community. but in the in
terest of the entire State. we respectfully
urge that each business club, merchan
and business man in every community
raise such subscriptions q they car
forward to the Reno Commercial Club

time. Any subscriptions received viii
be acknowledged. AS the time is shor,
in which to raise the necessary funds 7,
carry on the work Of this case to present
when the commission gives the hearing
We urge that you give this matter
earnest and prompt attention.
This is q matter that vitality concerns
every shipper and every consumer o;
goods within the confines Of this State
1t is a matter of concern as much to tn,
laboring man. who pays an exorbitaD
price for every tool he uses and ever,
pound Of food consumed by himself AM
his family. as it Is to the man of wealth
who finds himself burdened with ex
cessive expense in carrying on tn
volume of business that his capita
makes possible.
The case is known as No. 1865 on th,
dles Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and has been assigned to Com
missioner Oockrell for hearing.
Every effort that can be made by th'
State Railroad Commission will be mad
to properly prepare and present thi
case.
We have an exceedingly strong case

sistance we feel assured the citizens o
the State will give, we have ever,
reason to believe we will win and secur
substantial relief that will benefit all.

CHANCE FOR PUBLICITY BOARD

Some months ago there was consider
able excitement in the Jumbo district
over tbs ore discoveries in the Seiby
Consolidated mine. The public was led
to believe that q very large ore body
had been encountered. and that the find
justified the belief that the mine would
soon become a regular dividend payer.
Capt. j. B. Menardi. a member of the
State Board Of Publicity. has recently
been asked to take charge Of the affairs
of the mpany as receiver. and he re-
ports that gross frauds were pe~rpetrated
on the public by the promoters Of this
mine, and that it was sailed and ma
nipulated to enable the insiders to I'M
load their stock.
Here 10 . chance for the Nevada Pub
licity Board to show what it can do in
the way Of unearthing mining swindles
and bringing the swindlers to justice.
The mine il situated in Washoe
County, not far from Carson City,
where the chairman of the Board lives,
and while the Nevada Mining News
understands that the Commission
has no money to prosecute such
cases, it seems the Commission might
prosecute the case at its own ex-
pense. and demonstrate to the coming
Legislature what It can do ia the way
of running wildcats to cover. The
Chairman gets q regular salary. and he
might do many worse things than
spend some Of it to further the ends of
justice and bring the guilty parties to
book.
The platforms Of both parties pledged
the voters that there would be some
anti. wildcat legislation this year.. and
we believe that the Publicity Commits.

touch with the mines Of Nevada. would
be the proper people to take up the wal

The State has been in the grip OF the
railroad company ever since the rail-
road was built. and will continue to be
in its grip for years to come unless Its
people now assist in the effort Reno Is
making for the establishment OF q ter
minal point within the State.
Through its system Of charging the
Nevada people through freight to Sac
,amento and local freight back to desti-
nation on all shipments from the East,
we have been compelled to pay tribute
TO merchants Of San Francisco. In
short, the people of Nevada have been
robbed by the railroad company for the
benefit of San Francisco merchants.
This system. which is about b same
as the methods Of the highwayman.

State. increa sed the cost Of living INT
taken money from the pockets OF every
man. woman and child in the State.
In short, it has increased the

road company frightened. 1t did moth
ing to revive our tagging industries and
our people were helpless. But now
another era has dawned. The State is
increasing in wealth and population
and it's strength should now be exerted
toward breaking the chains that have
bound us hand and foot.
Reno has begun the fight to compel
the railroad company to Zeal justly
with Nevada. She is not fighting Tor
herself alone but for the State. and she
should have our moral aud financial
support. The business men OF Elko
and every citizen of this section OF the
State shopld assist Reno in this tight.
Let us do our part toward destroying

SO many years.
If o want this curse to continue

AIRsHIP TOO HEAVY TOFLY

Hot Springs, Oct. 5.-A com plete failure was the result of the initial attempt made last Sum- day morning to fly the airship which has been constructed by the Hot Springs Airship Con- pany, according to patents of In- ventor Joe T. Rice, of this place.
 At the crucial moment it was discovered that the gas bag was not powerful enough to lift the great framework, which is 80 feet in length. A large crowd assembled to witness the ascen- sion and the disappointment was keen.
 The machine cost $4,OO0, and there was good reason to believe that it would be a grand success. Mir. Rice will alter the mechani- cal arrangements somewhat and thinks he will yet be successful in navigating the air.
