WESTERN PACIFIC MAY
START RATE WAR

That a lively fight for passenger
and freight business between the
Gould and Hartman lines is about
to begin, with Reno as zone of the
strategic points, is the statement
made in the San Francisco Examiner
of Saturday.
In an article written by some one
who appears to have inside Informal
ton it is claimed that the Western
Pacific has only a mile and seven
eighths of track to lay before a
through route from Reno to Oak
land will be complete and that the
freight agents in the employ of the
road are already in Reno bidding
for a share of the business.
The article follows:
The Southern Pacific company
was suddenly aroused yesterday to
the fact that a competitor had en-
tered the field for business in north
ern California and was busily en-
gagged in bidding for passenger and
freight traffic from Reno to San
Francisco, a territory long regarded
as the sacred property Of the Har-
riman lines.
THE officials of the Southern Pa
cific were advised that representa-
tives of the new Gould line we're in
Reno soliciting business on a tariff
that will be effective two weeks
hence.
with only one and seven-eighths
of a mile of track to lay to com
plete a new through route from
Reno to Oakland by way of Orc
Vile, the Western Pacific figures on
having its route ready for trains
next Wednesday, but before the
heavier freight traffic can be under
taken it will be necessary to ballast
80 miles of roadbed this side OF
Clio. This work will consume not
more than two weeks, when the
Western Pacific will be in a position
to engage in open competition witt
the Southern Pacific.
Anticipating the early compile
ton Of this work, which the South.
ern Pacific officials and the public
seemed to think would not be ac.
complished for at least seyera
months, the Gould people here
quietly sem several of their repre-.
sentatives to Reno a few days age
to gather in business. They hat
| gotten well into their work wher
the Southern Pacific learned yester
day of their presence in Reno"

RUBBISH BLAZE CALLS
OUT FIRE DEPARTMENT
: sCHoER, Jr. Principal.

A rubbish fire in the vicinity Of
the Midway mill was the cause of
considerable excitement last even
ing, for persons noticing the blaze
promptly notified the department.
But two members of the fire de-
partment were in at the time the
alarm was received, the third being
absent at his dinner. When the
horses were hitched, one of the
reigns was not connected right, and
1t was impossible to guide the an
imals down Main street. Chief Sin
clair, who was driving, halted the
team In front OF the Brokers' Ex-
change building. where the neces-
sary adjustments were made, and
the trip continued to the supposed
conflagration in record time.
Only about a week ago Chief Sin
clair asked through the columns of
the Bonanza that the fire depart
ment be notified by phone when a
rubbish fire was to be started. Had
this request been complied with
there would have been no necessity

equal opportunities to which they
are entitled. But the people have
just begun to take this fight in
earnest. They have not realized un
til recently the vital importance and
far-reaching consequences of their
own passive position.
Now that the fight is passing
into an acute stage it is easily seen
than the special interests have used
the period of public indifference to
maneuver themselves into a position
of exceeding strength. In the first
place, the constitutional position of
property in the United States is
stronger than in any other nation.
In the second place, it is well un-
derstood that theA influence of the
corporations in our law making bod

ton Of coins, ore and relics that

DR., Cole took great pride in the
collection and it is like parting with
an old friend to let it go. But It
has long been his desire to have the
curios finally go to the university,
and as each specimen is to be

in getting the curios together

TONOPAH BOYS DEATH
FOLLOWS A NOPERATION

Leslie the 11-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs, Il. S. Peterson. passed
ava" from this life Wednesday al
8 O'Clock at the Miners Union hos
pital. The lad about two weeks
ago was stricken with appendicitis
and at first IL was thought that an
operation would not be NECESSARY.
A consultation was held Sunday.
when fl was decided to operate and
when the appendix was removed II
was found that the delay had re-
suited seriously with the condition
OF the youth. Everything possible
was done IN an endeavor to fore
stall p~eritonitis, but this dread re-
suit set in yesterday and after that
his survival was only a matter OF
a few hours.
The death Of the boy was a Sc
we're shock to his parents and the
sympathy Of the entife community
is extended to them in their hour
OF bereavement. Leslie was the only
child and this makes the sorrow all
the more unbearable. His school
mates also mour the loss of a
playmate, as do the teachers. with
whom he was a favorite.
The remains will be taken to An
gels Camp, California, Thursday,
where they will be buried in the
family plot.

WATER COMPANY TO
FURNISH ADEQUATE
FIRE PROTECTION
Will Install Seven Additional Hydrants
in Unprotected Districts and Build
Reservoir on One of the Surrounding
Mountains.

To this Office G.. H. Mcintosh was
elected unanimously.
Mr.. Mcintosh explained the ideas
OF Colonel Wheeler, as expressed
several hours before, and ended by
calling upon the president of the wa
ter company to address the meeting.
Mr.. Wheeler then reiterated his
remarks made at the previous gath
ering and added that he was also in
favor of reducing the present water
charge for domestic purposes, In
fact, he said, the matter would be
discussed by the directors of the
company at the earliest possible
moment.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wheel
er's statement, George B. Thatcher
moved that a resolution be adopted
showing that it was the %concensus
OF opinion of the meeting that the
county commissioners concur in the
installing of the additional by
drants. This was carried unan-
imously and r. P. Dunlap. George
b. Thatcher, II. E. Epstine and G.
Fl. Mcintosh were appointed to draft
the resolution and present the same
to the commissioners.
Nearly everybody present entere l
into a discussion that followed a
motion that the meeting indorse the
motion that the county commission
ers re-affirm the granting of the
franchise to the water company. the
contention being made that a fran
chise had been granted in June,
1905, and that the official copy,
which should be in the keeping of
the county clerk, had been lost.
Several of the speakers asserted
their belief that no franchise had
ever been granted. Others were of
the belief that the meeting had
nothing to do in any way with the
actions of the county commissioners
for if they decided that the water
company had legal authority tol car
ry on its business, the commissioners
could act as they thought best. The
motion was downed by an over
whelming vote.
According to President Wheeler
the work of installing the additional
hydrants and the reservoir will star
i'm mediately and the city should be
afforded the best of fire protection
within a very reasonable time.

STAGE MANAGER GAINING
FAME ON THE COAST

Thomas Phillips, who aspired to
be an actor several years ago
when he tsojourned a few months in
this city is rapidly gaining fame as
a shifter and heavy man in
theatrical circles. The San Fran
cisco Cal of Sunday contains a long
article on the Thespian celebrities.
from which the following excerpt is
taken:
Phillips, who takes the play east
to stage it, came to the coast from
New York in 1906 and built the
Tonopah theatre, opening 1t with
Constance Crawley, the exotic star.
The temerity exhibited in giving a
mining camp an Ibsen and a thigh
brow" actress was justified by the
results, and Miss Crawley was a
success in the Nevada bonanza min
ing camp"
We never heard of Phillips build
ing the Tonopah theatre, but we do
remember him as the champion
doughnut eater and believe he ac-
quired quite a name along this line.
Nor do we remember any little med
ais being pinned on the manly
breast of Phillips for bringing high
brow" plays to Tonopah. But such
is fame.

Yesterday afternoon Colonel f. G.
Wheeler, president of the Tonopah
United Water company, conferred
with a delegation of representative
citizens in the law offices Of Hugh
II. Brown, relative to the water
question which has been under de-
bate for the last few days. The sit
uation from all sides was presented
and discussed and at the conclusion
of the meeting Colonel Wheeler
stated that he was willing to aid the
citizens of Tonopah in their endeav-
or to secure adequate FIRE protec-
ton for the outlying districts.
His statement was to the effect
that he was in favor Of, and would
ask the executive council of the
board of directors of the water COM
pany to install, a reservoir on Mount
Brougheri or some other advantage
eoEs point, whereby a supply of wa
ter with sufficient force could be
procured to protect the homes that
T beyond the present protected
zone. Further than this, he was in
favor of the installing of seven adj
ditional hydrants. The improve
ments would be made at the expense
of the water company, but a small
change would be made in the water
rates that are now in force with
the town regarding the paying fol
the hydrants. The present rate calls
for a monthly rental of $3.50 pei
hydrant. of which there are twenty
three. Under the proposed rate. the
hydrants will call for a charge OF
81 for the first twelve months and
after that a price not to exceed Sc
per month. This is a material re-
duction and calls for an expenditure
of $3.50 a month, a sum oniy 80 III
excess of what the county commits
sioners are paying at the present.
At the mass meeting in the Min
ers' Exchange hall last night, which
was called to discuss the self same
question, the result of the Afternoon
conference vas made known to the

sembled. The meeting was called
