The Maricopa County Commercial Club was called to order yesterday morning at the Santa Fe depot by General Agent Goldsworthy of the s. F.. P. S- p, and 9 train crew which knew the way into the wilderness and how to make people happy while threading their way across the inter- vening country until they came to a place where the ambitious could stand on the banks of the raging Colorado and throw a rock at California which claims distinction chiefly as that which the sun goes down behind when it seems to hide it's head from the ef- fulgent glory of Arizonas rising pros perity.
 IL was the club picnic for which so much preparation had been made and to the club belongs the greatest pos sible credit But there were scores who contributed to the wonderful sue cess of il, by far too many to under take an individual mention. It is time ly onl.- 10 make few general re- marks MT. GoldswOrthy was the gen eral director Of events and no eXcur- sion could have been better handled. The club had given a concession of coffee. sandwiches. etc. to fill the yearning of the supper hour when all was on the move and it was one of the wisest provisions of the plan To make it more effective six or eight of the club members volunteered their serv- ices to COncessiOnaire Harry Cres- wfl. that nine coaches full of people might be satisfied before they starved to death. and all things came to pass as desired.
 Railroad Cooperate.
 In the giving of the excursion the club had the heartiest cooperation of the railroads. Not only did the Santa Fe extend every possible courtesy, but the Southern Pacific co-operated. Gen eral Agent L. H. Landis of that road fitted up what he. humorousiy called his private car. which the Hartman lines had considerably placed at his disposal and which MT Goldsworthy considerably placed in the bald-head ed row. up next to the locomotive. To this private car Mir.

Last Wednesday when the Western
Pacific track was laid through town
there was no way to fill the engine
boiler except by attaching hose to one
of the fre-plugs. Permission to do this
was given by the water company, but
the Western Pacific nor the water com
pany had the necessary hose. But a
little thing like that was easily ar
ranged. One of Ell5o's citizens without
any authority sends the dray to the
hose house of Company No. 1 with
orders to take two lengths of the hose
up to Missouri Flat for the Western
Pacific to use. The drayman, suppos-
ing that the man who sent him had
authority to take the hose, Gid as
directed. The hose was used and left
OH the ground, where it remained until
this afternoon when Mr.. McFarlane
reported it to the officers of the fire
department and the hose was removed
to the fire-house.
The hose was nicely coiled up when
full of water and was frozen. In adj
dition to this, we are informed that the
fire company's spanner was taken with
the hose and not returned. Without
that the fire boys would be useless at q
fire..
AS we understand this matter, no CEN
sure attaches to any officer or member
of the fire department nor to the West
ern Pacific men who used the hose
The lending of the hose for the purpose
for which it was used would have
caused no comment if the party loaning
it had returned it to the fire-house after
the Western Pacific had used it. But
this he did not do.
There should be an ordinance passed
by the commissioners making it misde-
meanor for any citizen to loan any part
of our fire apparatus and a heavy penalty
should be fixed for it's violation. If
everybody is permitted to loan the fire
apparatus and permit it to lay where it
is used, there is no use of the people of
Elko taxing themselves to maintain fire.

Divorces Are Made Easy

In comparatively small county like
Esmeralda, with limited population,
tifty-nine complaints for divorce have
been filed with the district court since
March 90 of this year.
Not one applicant for divorce has
been refused IL decree within that
period. "
1t is unlikely that any other city of
the size of Goldfeld can show such "A
record, unpleasant though it may be.
Some of the courthouse employees are
beginning to wonder whether Goldfield
will not equal Sioux Falls, S. D., in the
matter of dissatisfied couples seeking
separation on any old pretext. Only
the other day a wife charged cruelty as
grounds for divorce, but when pinned
down on the stand admitted that her
sole reason for the allegation was that
she had seen her husband on the street
with another woman. However, she
made sturdy effort to prove other
things and got her divorce after close
call. The divorce laws of Nevada are
VIGOROUSLY lax, and it is extremely
probable that. at the coming session of
the legislature one or more bills will be
introduced having for their object q
more stringent rule for the guidance of
district court judges in hearing divorce

Merchants Get Lower Rates on Sugar

A rate of 80 cents has been made on
sugar shipments from San Francisco to
Reno, the announcement having been
made to the sugar merchants of Reno
last week and coming after the mer-
chants had refused to pay the rate of
70 cents, which was fixed some time
ago by the railroad company.
The events which led up to the con-
troversy between the shippers and the
railroad officials, which resulted in u
lower rate for Reno, are as follows:
Some time ago the railroad company
announced Il rate on sugar from San
Francisco to Ogden of 30 cents. Shortly
after the rate from San Francisco to
Reno was fixed at rs cents-2O cents
more thau the cost of shipping from
San Francisco to Ogden, which is about
twice the distance. AS soon as the high
rate for Reno was announced the ship
pers of Reno got together and deter
mined not to pay the rate. Accordingly
notice was served OH the officials of the
railroad company that when sugar was
shipped TO them from San francisco
they would tender the company rate
of 55 cents and no more and in case any
trouble occurred an action in replevin
would be brought. The local officials
of the road asked the local shippers not
to be hasty in the matter and promised
to have the matter taken up. This was
done with the result that the announce
ment of the rate of 80 cents has been
made.
