tween freight rates and rates OF post
age. II says that dozen eggs can be
carried a thousand miles for 2 cents
and that a letter must pay 2 cents
postage whether It ID carried q thou
sand miles or only a mile. II IL often
charged that the government pays the
railroads an exorbitant price for car
rying the mails and that this toll for
transportation adds to the postage rate
Indirectly. However that may be,
there u no parallel between a letter
handled and safely delivered by the
postofiee department and a box Of
eggs transported by the railroad.
Every letter must undergo scrutiny

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-Al-
though the session of the criminal
court today in the trial of Hyde
Benson-Schneider and Dimond, on
charges of conspiracy TO defraud the
government of valuable public lands
in the states of California and Ore
gon, was extraordinarily brief, it fur
nished the greatest sensation yet pro-
duced by the government. Wood
ford d. Harlan, for nearly two score
years a clerk in the general land Of
flee, was the star witness and he
made free confession of receiving
many hundreds of dollars to expe-
dite lieu land selections, and to di-
vulge information relating to the
boundaries of proposed forest re-
serves.
Ii is also stated that William E.
Walk. another land office clerk, re-
ceived o share of the money. The
examination and cross examination
of Harlan occupied all of today's ses-
sion and will be continued.

MAY ADVANCE RATES July 1
Mexico Probably VIII Fix That Date
For Heavier Ore Charges.

CITY OF MEXICO, April 21.-The
importance attached to the proposed
move to raise the freight rates on
ores in Mexico may be judged from
the fact that the matter has now
gone to President Diaz for consider
alton and final decision.
The question of advancing ore
rates is considered a vital one both
to the railroads and to the mining
and smelling companies, although 1t
will affect the producers and re-
ducers more than 1t will the car
riers. When the commission favored
the advance of the rates, it was be-
lieved that the change would take
effect on April /, and such recon-
mendation was made by the commits
sion to Minister Leandro Fernandez,
of the department of communica-
lions.
1t was thought that 80 days was
sufficient time in which to allow
the mining companies and the smelt-
ers of the republic to adjust their
business to the new conditions. This
happened, however, at a time when
the mining interests were feeling the
effect of the slump in the prices of
metals and the general financial de-
preston, and strong and forcible ar
gumenrs have been advanced why
they should not be obliged to pay
higher rates on short notice.
The mining industry is one which
commands the consideration of the
government, and the matter was
taken up in the most serious manner
by Minister Fernandez, whose fail
ure to announce the advanced rates
several weeks ago was evidence that
/ they would not go into effect on
April l. 1t is now believed that the
new rates will become effective on
July |, although no such announce
ment has been made. 1t Is said, how
ever, that the mining men have sug-
gested that date as one which would
allow them to adjust their contracts
to the new conditions.

LOCAL-PERSONAL
WOUND NOT SERIOUS.

The wound of Deputy Sheriff L. c.
Smith, who shot himself accidentally
in the foot, a revolver dropping from
his pocket and exploding, was pro-
nounced by DR.. Adams, who had Just
returned from Blaine after giving
him attention. to be trifling in ma
ture. A peculiar feature of the wound
was that although the ball entered
his foot at the ball of the toes and
pierced every one of the members,
not a bone was broken by IL. Ii is
probable that he will be able to walk
within a short time, as the injury
is but superficial in character.

A HORSE! ABURRO
AN AUTO CRANK

The troubles of a chauffeur are
many. This is now realized by
George Stevenson and guests he took
for ride Sunday afternoon. Losing
the crank and being forced to walk
mile and half to get in brought
the outing to stage where jokes
about it are likely to lacerate the
feelings of both the hosts and the
members of the walking party.
Gaily starting out from Ely,
Stevenson picked up Marshal John
Hudgeps, Officer Norman, Aleck
Baird and two ladies and invited
them to ride with him to Ely City.
Gaiy the party started, sadly they
returned. Stevenson Is mechani-
clan from mechanictown. The trip
to the home of the two ladies was
made safely and the care was stopped
to allow them to alight. The chauf-
feur then started to crank the car.
He looked for the crank. There was
none to be found. Even the engines
of the car were examined to see
whether or not il was possible the
crank rad been concealed among the
batteries. There was absolutely
nothing doing.
Stevenson then remembered, they
say, that he had left the crank at
the Richard garage in Ely and re-
quested his guests to go get 1t, re-
turn. and then resume their inter-
rupted pleasure trip. Norman and
Hudgens volunteered and after walk
ing over found it where he had told
them it would be. They walked back
to Ely City and again got in the car,
which was cranked and the return
journey made. 1t is now understood
that Stevenson will constantly wear
a piece of string around his finger in
order 70 remind himself of the crank
and to have some gasoline in his
tank before starting for ride.
Stevenson declares that the crank
dropped 10 the road through losing
of the pin that holds it but the Off
GERS are firm in their story.
