trail. the Santa Fe, the Alton, the
Missouri Pacific and the Frisco rail-
roads and a number of important
shipping interests interviewed as CO.
compliments.
The question raised" said Judge
Grosscup in rendering his opinion,
lin its larger aspect, Is not so much
a question between the shippers and
the railroads as between the CONNER
cial and manufacturing interests of
Denver and of the territory east of
the Mississippi river on the one side
and the commercial and manufactur-
ing interests of the Missouri river
cities on the other.'
The railroads in the Missouri river
rate cas- sought to have the inter-
state Commerce Commission enjoined
permanently from enforcing on order
of the commission made June "a,
1908, relating to joint rates from
the Atlantic seaboaEd to Missouri
river cities. This order sought to
create a system of thorough rates
from the Atlantic seaboard to the
Missouri river that were a reduction
from the sums of the local rates.
This, according to western roads,
threw the burden upon them.

Want To Get
Ely-Eureka
Line Back

The telephone line between Ely
and Eureka bought in by White Plne/
county for taxes and accTued COSTS, !
may again become the property OF
the Utah, Nevada & Idaho Telephone
Co. which secured the line about
two years. ago from the Chairman
Consolidated Copper Co.
That Hugh Thomas, of Salt Lake,
manager of the telephone company
is particularly DESTROYS of getting
control of the line, the following tele-
gram to County Treasurer Leahigh
indicates:
Draw on us, care Mccormick bank
for taxes and accumnlations to date"
The commissioners nave leased the
telephone line in question to the
White Pine County Telephone Co.,
but are not particularly anxious to
retain ownership of it and are will
ing to give Mr.. Thomas and his as
sociates an opportunity to regain
control, which passed from their
hands through negligence.
Arrangements will be made by the
commissioners to have the Treasurer
advertise the fact that the taxes or
the line remain unpaid and are nes
linquent, when the property will be
sold to the highest responsible bid
der. This will give Mr.. Thomas a
chance to buy in what he formerly
owned.
The Utah, Nevada, Idaho telephone
company neglected to submit a state
ment to the Assessor last year, and
the board of equalization, not know
ing the rightful owners, assessed the
property to unknown owners On
January IS of this year the line was
bought by the county for taxes. The
time for redemption expired on July
rs, when a tax deed to the telephone
line was made to- White Pine county.

DISCRIMINATION CHARGED.

SCHNINA .iIION (I1A1tIFp.
According to aroused sentiment in
Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit. st.
Louis and other central traffic cities,
the order was a discrimination cal
culated to ruin their Industries.
In their opinion, Judges Grosscup
and Kohlsaat held that congress, in
creating the interstate commerce act,
had not intended to place a power in
the hands of a few men to build up
one community or to ruin another.
In dissenting, Judge Baker declar-
ed the commission, in ordering the
through rates, had done nothing
more than the railroads have always
done. Surely If the railroads have
this power, Judge Baker argued, the
commission likewise has it.
COMMISSION Is DEFEATED.
Judge Grosscup delivered the opin-
ion of the court, Judge Kohlsaat con-
curing, while Judge Baker delivered
a dissenting opinion.
The commission, thus defeated in
its first attempt to bring about what
is alleged to be al new, system, or
principle of rate-making. will, it is
asserted, carry the ease to the SUI
