Strong Rumor That Togo Kisen
Will Sever the Connection
Now Existing.
HONOLULU MAY Be CUT OUT
Japanese Steamers to Make
Direct Run Across Pacific
to San Francisco.

Rumors of withdrawal of the Togo
Kisen Kaisha company from its com
bination with the Pacific Mail company
reached here ON the Chiyo Maru yes
terday, and this time the rumors are
backed by statements which appear to
have come from more or less authorita-
tive sources.
Such rumors have been heard before,
but this time it is said that the direc-
tors of the company have tacitly agreed
to break with the Pacific Mail people
and paddle their own canoes, which, in
this case, are the magnificent liners
Tenyo, Chiyo, Nippon, America and
Hongkong Maru. General Manager
Avery of the 7. K. K. line has made
frequent trips to Japan in the past
year, and on his last visit it is assert
ed that the proposition of a permanent
withdrawal from the combination now
maintained was presented and agreed
to, and that when the present contract
ceases, that the T. K. K. line will run
independently.
it is also stated that under the pres
emit joint agreement, the Togo Kisen
liners, although very speedy and capable
of understanding any of the Pacific Mail
boats. are held down to conform to the
Joint schedule, and that their vessels
are under a penalty not to exceed the
schedule. In the present instance of
the Chiyo Maru s run from Yokohama,
it is said that she could easily have cut
down the time, but for the agreement
not to exceed the specified limitation
of speed, although she left Yokohama
two days late. The Chiyo and Tenyo
are oilburners and capable of making
much better speed.
Another proposition which has been
made is that of cutting out Honolulu
as a port of call for the Japanese
steamers and making the straight run
between San Francisco and Yokohama
on a ten-day schedule. The t. X. X.
boats get no business between this port
and San Francisco, either way. The
average cargo tonnage brought here
from Orient ports is about 1900 tons
per trip, but it is asserted that this
amount could easily be picked up at
Orient ports for mainland consignees.
While these propositions are reported
to be tentative, and only brought to
public notice as rumOrs, yet it is as
serted by persons aboard the Chiyo that
the information has leaked out from
official circles in Japan.

FOUR HUNDRED LOST
IN BURNING MINE
Disaster More Appalling Than
Was First SuppoSed-No
Bodies Recovered.
(By Associated Press.l

CHERRY, Illinois, November 15.--It
is now estimated that there are NOT
less than four hundred miners entomb-
ed in the st. Paul mine, which ex-
ploded last Saturday and then took
fire. None Of those who failed tc get
out when the disaster first occurred
have been rescued yet, and none of
the hundreds of bodies of the dead
that it is now thought the mine com
tains have been recovered.
The extent of the disaster is becom-
ing more appalling as the list of those
who are missing is made up. The mine
is still on fire, and the calamity is
one of the most appalling in the his
tory of mining in this country.

Longest Rainy Period for Years.

More rain fell during the past ten
days in this valley than usual. Even
the memories of the Oldest inhabitants
are taxed for recollections of a like
period. Senator Williams says he
remembers once or twice before, many
years ago, when continued rains visited
the valley, but it is the exception,
rather than the rule.
The rains did good deal of damage
to the roads of the county. That lead
ing south from Sand Springs to the
summit is said to have been rendered
practically impossible by the deluge
that visited that section, which is said
to have washed boulders from the hill
sides and almost obliterated the road
bed. 1t will be necessary for the
county to spend large sum of money
to even make the county roads passable
again, according to teamsters from the
mining camps.

new RAILROAD WILL Be BUILT
Extension of Mojave Road May
Traverse Rawhide, Fallon
and Saltwater.

Rumor, founded on what should be
taken as authentic report, coming as it
does from within the circle of those
who know, reached Fallon this week of
a change of route of the Main line
Mohave branch that will, should the
rumor prove correct, bring the branch
line to a point very close to Fallon,
from where it will diverge eastward,
striking The main line at a point east
of this place. AS stated in previous
issue of this paper, hurry up orders
have gone forth, looking to the COM
pletion of the Mohave road within a
period of twelve months from the date
of the orders which were issued several
weeks ago. The urgent need of the
completion of this branch is made
manifest, when we know that such
orders would be given in the face of
physical handicaps. no less than fifteen
tunnels of various lengths being in
cluded in the uncompleted work.
BY connecting the Central Pacific
with the southern route, the Harri-
man interests have direct route into
Los Angeles and it will not be sur
prising to see the rumor of the diverg-
ing branch to traverse this section
mature, for brief glance at the map
will prove TO the observer that the
present Hazen-Mina cutoff can hardly.
be used by the connecting link when
completed. This cutoff runs in
westerly direction to Fort Churchill
and is too roundabout to properly serve
the interests Of the railroad company
and its Southern California patrons,
who must in the future use the con-
Meeting road now under course of con-
struction for through shipments of
perishable fruits.
Should the rumor prove correct, it
would serve to explain away the re-
port that has been persistant that the
pass in the hills near saltwater will
be utilized by the Southern Pacific, by
road that will connect with the
main line at a point near Battle
Mountain.

FALLoN NEVADA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER T.
MEETING MARK COLLINS A MURDERER?
Left This County Last Week
With Officers In Hot
Pursuit.

An episode happened Monday of last
week that escaped our ears until too
late for our last issue, which tends to
prove that the world is small and that
crime will out. Mark Collins, a
middle aged man, who worked for four
months prior to the happening for w.
A. Harmon, committed murder more
than nineteen years ago back in West
Virginia. According to his own story
told Mr.. and Mrs. Harmon, the act
was not wanton, but was the sequel of
sweetheart affair, when he was Is
years of age and the victim of his rifle
was none other than the brother of his
sweetheart, who according 10 Collins,
was so aggressive that the shooting
was done in self defense.
Following the murder Collins became
a wanderer on the face of the earth,
but try as he could, a trail always led
back to the scene of his crime that
defied covering and but few months
was spent at the outside in any COM
munity. A letter addressed to West
Virginia recently is said to have sent
the detectives scurrying westward to
apprehend Collins and take him back to
the scene of his crime for trial. But
someone from somewhere, no one
knows who or from where, gave Collins
advance information few moments
ahead of the arrival of the officers last
week and they were a ain cheated of
their quarry, II Collins version of the
matter is correct, for he was sure that
he was pursued, men who had never
been in these parts before were seen at
the Harmon ranch by Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
mon. And Collins is further corrobo-
rated in his story to his employer by
subsequent shooting, in which he par
ticipated with rife taken from the
Harmon residence, which was later re-
turned. Following the shooting. which
occurred near the Harmon ranch,
Collins made his way post haste east
ward and when last seen was in the
vicinity of Desert Wells.
There are those who say that Col
Inns duel was a one-man-affair and the
result of too much John Barley Corn,
but those who heard the fusilade are
positive that too many shots came in
quick succession to allow this theory.
And certain observations made by Mr..
and Mrs. Harmon are not to be doubt
ed.
Anyway, Mark Collins is gone and he
left in the full possession of his facul-
ties. Some community is demanding
Collins for something, for no man
could or would act the part of crimi-
nal. He may escape detection but as
a wandering vagabond hunted over the
face of the earth, with a charge of
wanton murder registered against his
name. no niche will ever be found for
him until he rests in six by two hole
in the ground. Anyway, it would be
better, don't you think?

A ROUSING BEET MEETING
Met Last Week and Was At
tended by Farmers All
Over the Valley.

The meeting called for Thursday
evening to discuss the various phases
of sugar beet raising and to adopt
measures directed at interesting out
side capital with the end in view of
securing a factory for this section,
was well attended, the court house
auditorium being well filled with citi-
zens from every part of the valley.
W. H. Sifford, one of the pioneers of
this county in the sugar beet idea,
gave an extended talk on the subject
that was highly interesting. He COW
cred the subject in his talk from the
time he began his experiments, six or
seven years ago to the present time,
and voiced the belief that the farmers
of this section had clearly demonstrat-
ed the adaptibility of the section to
sugar beet production. In fact, Mr..
Sifford found after investigating the
saccharine qualities of soils in sections
where sugar beet factories are now at
work, that we excel most places in
sugar percentage and purity of pro
duct.
1t is stated that the Southern Pacific
railroad company, in its desire to see
the project now on foot mature in a
factory, has offered to lease the COM
pany lands lying within this project,
for term of years at a figure that is
purely nominal. l. Il. Kent, W.
C. Grimes, and l.. N. French were ap-
pointed TO act as a committee in Sc
curing signatures of land owners of
the valley, who it is believed will guar
antee sugar beet company more than
sufficient acreage to warrant the early
bull ing of factory Of good sized ca
pacity.
Il was stated that plenty of lime
rock had been found situated convent
emily, and that the Southern Pacific
Company had evinced the deepest con-
cern in the success of the enterprise
and had signified a willingness to aid
the matter in every way possible.
The construction of the necessary
spurs and sidetracks to cover the sugar
beet fields and bring them within easy
access of the factory, no matter in
what part of the valley the factory
may be finally located. is one of the
purposes of the company.
To prove the section S adaptability to
sugar beets, the experimental crop of
this year, seeded and cared for by for
ty-seven different growers. will soon be
harvested and movement is on foot
to arrange carload lot of the local
product for shipment to a California
factory. The local people propose to
donate the beets with a stipulation
that separate test run be made on
the carlod lot and the quality of our
beets thus demonstrated.
DR.. C. A. Hascall was given a vote
of thanks by those present for the in
terest he had manifested in the sugar
beet matter.

Jensen May Enter Local Creamery
Field.

We learn authoratively that it is not
improbable that w. F. Jensen, the
principal owner of a string of creameries
in this state, Utah and Idaho, among
which is the Reno creamery, will en-
ter the local field. Mr.. Jensen has
signified his intention of looking the
local field over with view to taking
over the plant formerly conducted by
the Fallon creamery people, and should
he see the future really in store for
this section, in dairying sense, and
conclude to come here, it will mean
much to the section. Mr. Jensen is a
practical creamery man. He has made
large fortune from the intelligent
handling of creameries and his reputa-
tion for fair dealing will work to the
benefit of both the local producers and
the consumers of their product.
This section is admirably adapted to
the dairying industry. At the same
time dairying is new thing to most
people here, who know of the benefits of
the industry only in general way. 1t
will take just such man as Mr.. Jen-
sen to make success of creamery
here and at the same time he cannot
doubt the attractiveness of the field,
after once investigating it.
