Little Child Starts Fire In Bedroom

Mr.. Clark of the Lake Theater yes
terday afternoon had occasion to enter
the bedroom at his home. where his
youngest child. a baby of about two
years of age was supposed to be asleep.
Upon opening the door he was envelop-
ed in a cloud of smoke that flowed
from the room. Upon rushing in he
found the child on the floor feeding a
lively burning fire with all the clothing
that the little one was able to get his
hands on. 1t appears that the little
one had awakened and climbed from
its crib, pulled the scarf from off the
bureau, bringing with it some matches.
He then proceeded to build fire with
his fathers straw hat, some music, his
mothers shoes, the table scarf and
everything else in reach. Little damage
was done beside hole through the
carpet but the lucky entrance of Mr..
Clark surely saved the child from
serious injury if not DEATH Carson

The New Freight Schedule

A new freight schedule went into eff
feet the first of this month on the
Southern Pacific, in which the back
haul from Sacramento on all merchan-
disc shipped from the East to Elko is
taken off. One would naturally think
this reduced the freight charges on Eas-
lSern shipments to this point, but on the
contrary the charges are increased.
This is readily seen from the following
figures given by one of our merchants.
| Under the back haul system, the fol-
Towing rates were charged per hun
& ired pounds on shipments from New
York to Elko:
New York to Sacramento. ...... $500
: Sacramento to Elko. 1.721
LOJdl. ........ .F4.7HA
Under the schedule with the, back
rack haul eliminated, the rates are as
ollows:
lew York to Chicago. .........$ 10
hlcago to I rden.. ......... 2.S5
'gden to Eth .1.42
Iptai '"'.'.'.' .'........ ....... "
From this, you see that under the
ack haul system of robbery this mer.
1ant paid $4.724 per hundred on freight
dipped from New York to Elko, while
1der the new schedule with the back
aul eliminated, he pays $500, an in
ease Of 29i cents. yal
