MR. SHAW ON SOUP HOUSES.
Points Out Voorhees, Laborers and
Engineless Cars - Former
Secretary Talks.

Former Secretary OF the Treasury
Shaw, in Michigan last spring, made
interesting comment on panics as fol-
lows:
lover 100000 freight cars standing
empty on the tracks; 5000 locomotives
out of commission; one-quarter Of the
population Of several large cities idle,
and, for the first time in a Republican
administration, free soup houses"
Hide Must Go With the Hair.
In Secretary Shaw's case, the hide
must go with the hair; that is, his
comment on economic conditions must
be taken zen semble," as the theatri-
cal critics say. His soundness on bank
guarantee must accompany equally
sound opinion OH other mooted ques-
lions. Now that Mr.. Taft, against
whom Mr.. Shaw labored, has been
nominated, Mr.. Shaw might obtain
leave to extend his remarks in the
record" and embellish his terse state-
ment relative to soup houses.
He will easily overcome Democratic
objection, and perhaps can get unanI-
nous consent, under the rules.

One of Elko county's best citizens
passed away at Sacramento, California,
Thursday when the eyes of Edward L.
McMahan closed upon the scenes of
earth.
Mr.. McMahan was born in Pennsyl-

Elko county about 1876 and went to
Cornucopia and later to Columbia.
These camps were then turning out
bullion and Mr.. McMahan held respons-
Idle positions in both camps About
1878, he moved to Tuscarora and SUPER

Union mill and held the position of
superintendent until the mines passed
under other management. $50.
MIR. McMahan was resident of this
county since 1876, with the exception
of two years spent in Colorado On his
return he took charge of the Tuscarora
Water company and managed it's affairs.
In 1904, he was elected member of
the assembly by the democrats of this
county. Shortly after the converting
of the legislature he was taken sick and
was unable to take an active part in
the work of the session.
His health began to fail about ten
years ago and the disease developed in
miners consumption, caused by inhal-
ing mill dust. He bore up bravely and
did his best to Withstand the ravages of
the disease.
After the Legislature adjourned in
1905, he returned to Elko and passed a
large portion of his time here. He
spent last winter in southern Cal
ifornia and this spring he paid visit
to his old home in Pennsylvania. He
returned few weeks ago and seemed
to be much improved. But shortly
after his return, he was compelled to
take to his bed. He recovered sufficient
ly to start for southern California,

residence among us, he held the I'M

body. No faint of any kind ever

SOUTHERN STOCK REDUCED
Several Orders of Small Importance for Steel Are eported-Demand for Light Rails Is Said To
 Be Improving.

Cleveland, O., October 14-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 October usually one of the most active months of the year, has not yet developed a large amount of business, but prices are for the most part being well main taiaed There seems to be no immediate prospect of important developments.
 Southern pig iron stocks have been re- duced fully one-haIf in the Birmingham district during the past six months Ship ments are good and prices firm, but the demand in that section is limited at pres ent, and furnaces are not anxious to sell for next years delivery, except at sharp advance. In St. Louis and Pitts burg there has been increased activity in basic. Malleable also shows some im- provement and an Indiana melter has placed order for 1500 tons, and an inquiry for 2500 tons for a Connecticut concern is pending. There is consider ably mord activity in pig iron in the east, and some fair tonnages have been purchased. The United States Steel cor poration has taken 7500 tons of low phos- phorus iron and an eastern steel company has also inquired for 5000 or 4000 tons of low phosphorus iron

An order has been entered for a lake freighter at To- ledo, but the steel has not been contract ed for A new passenger vessel is also to be built and other orders for lake ves- sels are under consideration. The con tract for the hull plates for the new bat tleship Florida to be built by the govern ment at the Brooklyn navy yard has been awarded to the Central Iron and Steel company and the Carnegie Steel company will furnish the deck plates. About S9OO tons of material will be required for this vessel.

 The Pullman company has contracted to build 220 all-steel cars for the Harri- man lines. Better inquiry is noted for railway equipment and the Illinois Cen tral has purchased 6S1 steel gondolas from the Cambria Steel company. The Ann Arbor railroad has bought 2100 tons of standard rails for prompt shipment from the Lackawanna Steel company. The Joliet mills of the Steel corporation are now six weeks behind on track bolt or ders and recent orders for track supplies in the central west have been more nu- merous than for some time. There Is de- cided improvement in rail specifications by western railroads, one calling for 5000 tons for prompt delivery; another for 1000 and others for smaller tonnages. The leading interest reports scattered sales of 1500 tons to trolley lines and there is great improvement in the demand for light rails.
