Comparative Statement Of Freight Rates 10 Fal-
Ion and Sehurz are Greatly in Favor
Of The nub City.

That the Southern Pacific Company
is not going to discriminate against Fall
lon in the matter of freight rates, but
on the contrary ia working in every
legitimate manner, for the advancement
of the towns interests is proven by the
comparative table OF freight rates for
Fallon and Schurz, the latter being the
point about which more or less fear WAS
entertained by local business interests
~ possible competing distributing
center for Rawhide traffic, received this
week by l. II. Kent, manager Of the /.
II. Ken. Company, from Z. w. Clspp,
District Freight and Passenger Agent
for Hartman interests in Nevada. Mr..
Capp sssui es the local business inter-
ests through his letter to Mr.. Kent, and
personally on the occasion OF his last
visit through this section, which occur
ed last week, that no apprehension need
be felt concerning the good will OF the
Southern Pacific Company for Churc-
hill county interests.
In fact, Mr.. Clapp's statements are
fully substantiated by the actual condi-
tione. Freight is being routed through
Fallon In all instances, and the Wells
Fargo Company has instructed its
agents TO route all wells.Farso business
ior Rswhide emsnsting north Of shurz
via Fallon, which must be taken as in
dicstins that company's opinion of the
feasibility of the respective routes from
shurs to Rswhide and from Fallon to
Rawhide.
The following table submitted by Mr.
Clapp shows at once the reason why
Fallon is the only logical freight distri-
buting point Tor Rawhide. and the prices
charged from outside points to Fallon
and shurs respectively are so prepon-
deratinsIy In favor OF this point, that
freight In and out OF Rawhide must OF
necessity pass through Fallon.
The charges are as followsi On first
class freight from Reno to Fallont .6sh I;
IRON Reno to shurz, on same, $50; re-
cond- class, Reno to Fallon, f.58i Reno
to shurz, for same, t.7s1i, third-class
from Reno to Fallon, t.441s Reno to
shurz, for same, 500; fourth.clsss from
Reno to Fallon $50 from Reno to shurz
for same. $50; fitth-class from Reno to
Fallon, t.35; Reno to shurz, for same,
s.55.
From Sacramento to Fallon. the rate
on first class freight is tl.45h as COM
pared with 900 for the same service
from Sacramento to shurz; for second
class, tI.28 as compared with tl.ss; /;
third class tl.141s as compared with
ti.72, iourth-class sos as compared
with $l.52, and for ffthclass $50 as
compared with tl.s3.
The above figures show the great pre-
ponderance in favor of Fallon, and GER
tainly the people of this section have
much for which they should feel thank
full towards the Southern Pacific Com
pany, which has met every local de-
mand by prompt cooperation and when

of the great government irrigation pro-
ject, of which Fallon is the center, are
b ing promoted and iostered in every
manner possible by the railroad COM
peny, whose confidence in this section
was demonstrated by the early con-
struction of the Hazen-Fallon railway ;
the erection of one OF the handsomest
depots in the west; the installation OF
an efficient train service over the route
the establishing of colonist rates into
the irrigation project that settlement
might be encouraged, we must know
that this section, of all sections, is re-
reiying genuine beneiactions from the
Southern Pacific Company.
