GASOLINE LIGHTS
OBJECTED TO

The following letter received by
the local agents of the Hartford Fire
Insurance company, a representative
of which recently visited Winnemucca,
is self explanatory:
"It has been brought to our notice
that new system Of gasoline mach
ines for lighting purposes has been
placed in several buildings in Winnie
mucca. We understand that it is q
system known as the F. P. Lighting
System, which is not approved by the
board of underwriters, and subjects
the risk to an increase of one per cent
per 800 where used. The danger of
gasoline gas is well known, and it is
said that one pint Of gasoline will
impregnate 200 cubic feet OF air, and
make it explosive.
elf the above mentioned system is
installed in any of the buildings on
which we carry insurance we wish you
would please cancel such policies.
Awaiting your early reply, we re-
main,
"Yours very truly,
.PALACHE & HEWETT,
General Agents. -

LIVES A HERMIT II
YEARS
An Old Man Marvels at the Wonders
Of the Age and is Sceptical Of
the Work Of a Telephone
Gardnerville Record Courier.

Seventeen years ago, without a
grudge against himself or the world,
NJ MacKinsey, then yell known res
ident of Carson valley, went into exile
in the Pine Nut mountains, where he
has since resided, earning a miserable
existence by chopping wood. During
these seventeen years August Ban
ming Of Carson has made regular trips
to the old hermit's abode with pro-
visions and also for the purpose Of
purchasing what little wood the old
man was able to chop. On his last
trip, which was made Monday, he
found MaeKinsey sick and unable to
move about, and would have probably
starved had not timely assistance ar
rived. A good store of provisions
was in the cabin, but the old fellow
was unable to prepare his food, and
when asked if he was not afrail star
walton would have resulted, he re-
piled:
ct could have lived on raw oatmeal
for many days"
Banning brought MacKinsey to
Gardnerville to regain his health, and
when seen by our reporter he was re-
elining on couch. His dress and
every outward appearance was in ac-
cord with the hermit life he has
lived all these years.
During his exile many modern in

A FAIR EXAMPLE
OF PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
William j. Bryan and others of that
stripe who never can cease talking
about the government ownership of
public utilities and railroads in parti-
cular, ard urging the desirability of
the adoption of that policy by the
United States, now have the opportun-
ity to make up concrete case and say
what they would do with the Panama
railroad if they were in control of the
government which owns it. r. P.
Sehwerin has described the situation
exactly as it is. Under government
management the road is losing all its
commercial business to rival routes,
and doing for the transcontinental
railroads, "free gratis for nothing -
all those roads formerly paid great
sum to get done. AS for the Pacific
Mail it is perfectly satisfied. 1t pro-
badly picks up enough business to pay
for such service as it fives and there
by serves the purpose Of the transcon-
tinental roads which own it by scar
ing off any other line of ships. Mean
while the report of Secretary and
Railroad Director Taft reads like
wall of despair. The business is GO
ing, and will probably all go, but
there is not the slightest intimation
of any vigorous effort to get it back.
And there is another, thing which
nobody will doubt. If conditions
could be reversed; if the transconti-
mental routes should be put in charge
of President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft with the authority they have
over the Panama road, and the Pana-
ma road should be turned over to Mr.
Hartman and Mr.. Scherwin with the
same amount of capital now at the
of the officials in charge of
the Panama line, they would have all
in six months, or as quick as ships
could be got, they would double the
amount of business. And the Tehu-
antepec road would not scare them a
bit. AS railroad managers, our pres
ent officials or anyone whom we could
elect in their places would merely
make fun for the good transportation
men.
If the government of the United
States wants business for the rail
road which it bought at a round
price, it will have to get out and hus-
tie for it. 1t will have to provide SER
vice and make rates which will at
tract traffic; not only that, it must
open offices on railroad row and drum
every shipper on the coast. If Te-
huantepec bothers too much it must
demand defferential, and if it will
not give it, it must take it. Nobody
will hunt rate war with the United
States government, and if it does not
get traffic for it's Panama railroad it
will be from pure, unadulterated and
business incapacity. Con-
'eive, if it is possible, that wicked Mr..
hartman writing report that an
gent had told him he was losing all
he Pacific coast traffic, and that he
lid not see how he was going to get
/ back. Fudge!
