These places are being flied and lev

MUST SHOW UP
RATE BOOKS

The state railroad commission will
have vice-president and general man
ager, A. Christensen, OF Wells Fargo
& Co.. on the carpet Thursday to
show cause why express rates in Ne
vada should not be materially reduc-
ed.
This will be the first time, with one
exception, that the Wells Fargo Com
pany has ever had a question raised
as to its right to charge all the traffic
will bear ON business within this
state and the notice to come in and
show up was a shock, to say the
least
Nevada has paid many thousands
of dollars into the Golfers of this com.
kind enough to say that all tlis mon
ey has been pure graft added to the
regular transportation facilities and
that the service rendered by express
companies should be given by the
railroad itself without extra charge.
simply as a fulmllment of its duty as
a public utility.
With this premise, it is easy to see
where the express company will get
off in this state should that line be
followed as the reason for the In
Qulry. 1t is not too much to predict
that the time will come when rail-
roads will give the same service ex
press companies do without an extra
charge for that service Such a sys-
tenn will wipe out a heavy tax now
paid by shippers of Nevada and the
shippers of every other state in the
Union.

The destruction OF the court house

The building caught fire Saturday
afternoon while court was in prog

when the fire was first noticed.
The Rocky Point mill was burned
about two weeks ago under similar
circumstances and the owner Captain
Davis, declares he can put ais
hand on thc man who set il
on fire. The destruction OF the court
house means that fight will be
started at once TO remove the court
house and county seat To lcringtOn

crs have called a special session it
is entirely probematical il the court
house will be rebuilt at Dayton.
