FREIGHT REBATES NOT RE-
LATED TO COMMON CARRIER

RENO, May 2O-Division Freight
and Passenger Agent E. W. Clapp Of
the Southern Pacific, states that the
question has often arisen among ship
they could Offset a claim against a
common carrier by deducting the
amount of their claim from the freight
charges on another shipment
In answer to this question Agent
Clapp states that at conference Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
on May Z, 1908, the question as to
whether shipper having any demand
against an interstate carrier could
offset it against the amount of a
freight bill, which he owed the carrier
upon a shipment OF merchandise, the
commission held that the two trans
actions have no relation one to the
other and that such a deduction from
the lawful charges on the shipment
could not be made
The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission viii probably put
an end to the effort Of many shippers
to obtain payment Of a claim against
common carrier by deducting the
amount of the claim from the payment
of a freight charge.

GOVERNMENT MINING BUREAU

The bill to establish a Bureau OF
Mines, to be under the Jurisdiction of
the Department of the Interior, is
now before Congress. Congressman
Bartlett, one of the committeeman
who helped frame the bin, writes that
it has been reported favorably in the
House and will probably pass, but
that some opposition is likely in the
Senate because there is some hesit-
ancy about enlarging the scope of the
Departments. 1t is to hoped that this
opposition will not result disastrously
in the upper house, but if it does it
can be laid to politics or to the fact
that certain ones have baked be-
cause they could not control the
patronage of the new department..
To the Westrner, who can see the
benefits of mining Bureau more
plainly than anyone else, it matters
very little in what department the
Bureau is lodged or even if it is made
separate creation, just as long as it
is created. From all corners of the
Western country favorable comclt
is being made of the bill and it is
certain that all the leverage can be
brought to bear will assist in having
the bill become law.
Should the mining Bureau bill pass
both houses and become a law and
the Bureau become original and in
working order, people throughout the
country will only have cause to won
der why this branch of the Govern
ment service was not created long
ago. 1t will cause an impetus to
mining never before thought of and
will be the direct cause OF a much
larger mineral production than was
ever thought possible There are
several very good reasons why this is
so. Very few people outside the
ranks of mining men and prospectOrs
realize the difficulties to be overcome
in the discovery of mines and metals
and their development. The wonder
is that men do as well having as they
do to cope with hardship, lack of

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES

Pursuant to call of the chairman of
the Democratic Central Committee Of
Ormsby county, meeting was held
at o'clock p. M Monday, May ii,
1908.
The meeting was called to order by
the Chairman and the following reso-
luton was adopted:
RESOLVED: That a primary cleo
ton be held on Wednesday, May 20,
1908, at the place hereinafter men
toned between the hours of 1 and
p. NJ, for the purpose of electing six
delegates to the Democratic State
Convention to be held at Carson City,
Nevada, on Monday, June /, 1908, at
o'clock p. m. for the purpose of
electing six delegates and six alter
mates to the Democratic National Con-
vention to be held at Denver, Color
ado, on the It'll day of July, 1908, and
for the transaction of all other bust
ness that may properly come before
the convention. That the persons
hereinafter named shall! constitute
She election boards of the respective
precincts.
The qualifications necessary for
voters at the primaries are the same
as required by the election laws OF
the State together with the following
party test: Il AM A DEMOCRAT"
The returns shall be forwarded to
the Secretary of County Central Com
mittee, which committee shall act
as board of canvassers Of the votes
cast at said primaries and shall issue
certificates of election to the dele
gates having the highest number of
votes cast.
If for any cause there be a vacan-
CIV or vacancies in the primary cleo
ton board or where the Central Com
mittee has failed to designate a full
board, then those present shall fill the
vacancies as provided by law. The
attention of the board as we'll as the
voters is called to the law governing
primary elections, statutes of 1883,

nor the money to pay fees lot it.
knowledge that the Government, a
public servant, was in position to
lend help and advice would be GER
tan to stimulate exploration by the
old as well as new prospectors and
miners.
Surveyors or representatives of the
Bureau sent out to various sections
of the mineral-bearing west could do

of mineral were present, could be
brought to public notice. Districts

until such time as men with capital
were founu to bring them to the
front.
In the designation Of ores, little
known minerals, their treatment,
1li:, rs and milling methods ard all
that goes with the successful develop
ment and operation Of mines, the
technical and practical knowledge
freely obtained from the Bureau
would prove of immense benefit.
These things would result in con-
slant saving to miners, which means
an increased production of all metals
and it would eventually lead to our
country becoming a greater producer
of precious metals than any country
on the globe.
Another feature which it would be
possible for the Bureau % maintain
and which would make 1t additionally
effective is a department of samples
or specimens of all known ores. If
it were possible for prospectors to
readily obtain piece of ore. however
small. of some rare or little known
mineral, it is certain that many more
discoveries would be made, as there
are doubtless many valuable deposits
passed over that would be taken note

POINTS ON HOME SURGERY.
Proper Treatment of What May Be
Called Minor Accidents.

When a fishhook is caught in the
hesh, if it be embedded beyond the
barb, no attempt should be made to
withdraw it, but the point should be
moved forward until it emerges from
the skin, when it may be cut off by
means of file or pair of pliers, and
the balance of the hook withdrawn;
or the line may be detached, the eye
cut off and the whole hook pushed
through the tissues.
III a crochet-hook has been thrust
into the flesh-a not uncommon acci-
dent-no attempt should be made to
withdraw it directly. but large knit
ung-needie or darning-needle should
be introduced alongside of it and
placed against the hook, when both
may be drawn out together without
infiicting further injury.
Punctured wounds should be treated
by means of hot lamentations, of poul-
tices of congresses of tepid water.
Torn or confused wounds heal much
more slowly than cut or punctured
wounds. Torn wounds should be
thoroughly cleansed and the injured
parts drawn together by means of ad-
hesive plasters and bandages.
Care must be taken not to employ
too strong compression. Either water
dressing or lint saturated with sweet
oil containing ten drops of carbolic
acid to the ounce may be employed. If
the parts have been badly bruised, hot
lamentations should be applied.
Heat is essential in cases in which
considerable portions of tissues have
been nearly severed from the body.
