The importance of keeping the radiator
Of a car clean cannot be overempha sized.
Sediment inside reduces the conductiv1ty
and makes the radiator as whole less
efficient. Mud in the air tubes or between
the flanges tends to reduce the cooling &
surface and therefore to have the same
effect in a smaller degree as does sedi-
ment.

to Nevada points are on their very
face. The only justification the rail
roads claim for tneir method of as
sessing rates to interior points, is
water competition at terminals, ana
the manner in which Judge Bartine
witnesses in the Salt Lake case shows
how weak their claim of water com
petition is. In fact showing that the
Southern Pacific company is making
its own competition by It's control OF
the A,antc steamship lines and the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company.

charges to Nevada points take COM
modify such as dry goods N. o. 5.

that for the 7S5 mile haul. the earn

renumerative to a 'nited extent, that

excessive and unreasonable. This is

MINING PROP
ERTY CLOSED

The Milwaukee mine in Silver City
for the past year about twenty men,
closed down last Saturday owing to
the fact that the owners OF the prop
erty refused TO give an extension Of
three months time to the WinSfeld il
terests who had an option and bond
on the property and who had durir 3
in developing the property. The prop
erty is owned by PedrOi. Quillici ard
Cardew OF Silver City and is regard
ed us one OF the most promising in
the camp. The owners are said 10
nave made "a payment OF ST., 900 and
had only to make a further payment
Of $4,000 more. AS soon as the own
ers refused to give an extension OF
time the people who held the option
began dismantling the mine and the
thousands of dollars worth of machin-
cry was removed and shipped to Pho
neer where it is understood Wing
field holds valuable properties. Peo-
pie of Silver CITY have cause to re-
gret the abandonment of tle camp by
George Wingfield for he is one of the
men engaged in the mining industry
who has nerve and capital to 20
through.

COMMISSION WILL
GO TO SPOKANE

Railroad Commissioners Bartine.
Thmtell and Shaughnessy left Salt
Lake City for Spokane, last evening.
where they will attend the hearing
of the terminal freight rate case at
that point before the Interstate Com
merce Commission on the 29th.
Official notice has been received
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission by this Commission, that
the hearing of the Reno terminal
case is set for October %, 1909, when
further evidence will be taken in the
case and the oral argument heard.
The hearing of the Reno case on
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion except for the filing of briefs by
the Railroad Commission of Nevada
and the railroads. After the briefs
are in which will probably. be about
one month after the hearing, The
question is up to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for decision.
The cases now being card before
the seven Interstate Commerce Com
mssiOners, namely. the Salt Lake,
Spokane, San Pedro, Phoenix and Re-
no cases. are all of the same nature,
the question being whether or not the
freight rates applied by the railroads
n DaTiff.
terminals are not the reasonable
ra>c to the interior points named.
In the case of Spokane, the Inter
state Commerce Commission has al
ready rendered a decision giving that
point less than terminal rates on class
rates and a few commodities, and a
rate SLIGHTLY higher on other COM
mOdities. Owing to the fact that
the petition of the Spokane people
only specified class rates and thirty
four commodities from Chicago and
points west, the decision of the In
terstate Commerce Commission was
limited to the classes and cOmmO-
dities between the points named.
Hence, the reaealing of the Spokane
case.
Before the Spokane case was sci
for rehearing, the Interstate Com
merce Commission called a general
conference of the railroads and SpO,
kane people, in an endeavor to settle
The whole subject. At this confer
cnce the railroads agreed to estab-
lish the class rates as ordered by the
commission but opposed commodity
rates ranging about twenty per cent
higher than at the terminals. The
class rate scale was accepted by tae
Spokane people but they rejected the
commodity rates proposed, immediat-
ely after the conference, filing an
amended petition making complaint
of all commodity rates to Spokane
from New York and New England
territory west. AS the matter now
stands, the class rates as ordered by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
have been put into effect by the rail
roads and the adjustment Of commO-
dity rates is pending.
The outlook for the Reno case
is very bright. not only in the fact
that is has been strongly presented.
hut even though the Interstate Com
merce Commission recognizes water
competition at terminals, the rates
now charged are from twenty-five to
thirty per cent higher than the rates
that both Spokane and Salt Lake City
are complaining of, and Spokane has
secured partial relief. ..ence, it is
easily seen how eXOrbitant the rates

TARIFE BILL IN SENATE.
Committee Fixed Duty of 81 Ton
on Print Paper.

Washington, June 1S.-Just before
adjournment tonight, the senate adopt
/ by a vote of A to 32, the amend
ment of the senate committee on fl
nance fixing a duty of 81 a ton on
print paper, in place of the house rate
Of 81 a ton, but the other amendments
TO the wood pulp and print paper
schedule had not been acted upon
whom the senate adjourned at seven
o'clock. Senators Brandegee and
BuEeiey voted in the affirmative.
After the vote had been taken there
was. an effort to reach an agreement
upon a time for voting for the various
income and corporation tax PROPOSE
tions Mr.. Aldrich sought to obtain
a general agreement to postpone the
further consideration of this question,
until after the disposal of the tariff
schedules, but Senators Bailey and
Cummins insisted upon coupling with
the agreement an understanding that
there should be taken a direct vote
upon the adoption Of an income tax
amendment, and no agreement was
reached.
BY cNder of the senate, adjournment
is taken each day at p. M, and that
hour arrived while the question was
under discussion. The Bailey income
tax amendment, therefore will be the
pending amendment when the senate
c0nvenes tomorrow. If a unanimous
consent agreement in accordance with
the motion adopted by Mr.. Aldrich
today is not then obtained he prob
ably will move to postpone considera-
tion of these subjects to a certain
day.
