s. ?. ACTIVE
IN THE FIELD

RENO, Oct. 30.-It is stated that
the Southern Pacific in it's search for
a short line to Los Angeles, has vir-
tually abandoned consideration of
Hazen as an objective point for the
cut off.
Recent developments have brought
to light the presence of three large
and we'll appointed crops of Southern
Pacific surveyors, who occupy the
field in Central Nevada. These en-
gineers are running lines for new
outlet for the Acqueduct line, via
either Winnemucca, Battle Mountain
or Palisade. The latter point is now
regarded with no special favor, ow-
ing to broken character of the coun-
try, which would render construc-
tion expensive.
Another objection is the heavy
grades, that could not be overcome
economically, and this is the most
vital factor in the movement, for the
long fruit trains and heavy passenger
traffic of the Southern Pacific de-
mand the virtual elimination of
grades, even though this involves the
building of costly tunnels. Battle
Mountain has the advantage of a
right of way from Austin that could
be converted into the roadbed of a
modern double track trunk line.
Winnemucca, however, is said to
have the advantage over the other
surveyed routes, according to state
ments of men who have worked on
the survey. The grades are length
and curvature normal, while this
selection would reduce the western
haul by the distance to Hazen.
The plans under advisement con-
template the abandonment of di-
rect line from that point, passing
through Coaldale on the Tonopah
and Goldfield road. The value of
the Carson and Colorado does not
cut any figure in the calculations, as
that line has never paid operating
expenses.

ANOTHER
ZONE ON
NINE LINE
Fifth Monster LOcOmO-
tive Soon Due--A Model
For all Ore Lines. The
Good Work Done Here

Some time next month there will
be delivered to the Nevada Northern
in East Ely engine 95 from the Pitts
burg works of the American Locomo-
tive Co.
Engine 50 will make the fifth of
the immense type of ore line engines
to come to the road and will put it
in position to handle the increased
ore traffic which another unit at the
concentrator will call for.
The 95 to all outward appearance
will be identical with 81, 92, 93 and
"a. However, its specifications call
for certain changes which have been
found desirable through the opera
ton of the engines of its type which
have preceded it in the service
These changes it is believed by
mechanics and practical railroad
men will make the 95 model for
ore line service throughout the coun-
try. Steel running boards, steel pilot
frame and other non-breakable
features supplant parts in the de-
signs of first engines in which have
had to be replaced because of the
rough usage which cannot be averted
in handling ore. Also some desir-
able changes have been made in
mechanism which will give the new
engine larger advantage in handling
trains and increase its braking and
hauling capacity.
With the 95 in service the ore
line will be in easy position for
motive power and will be able to
use its stock to better advantage
as the shop will get plenty of chance
to do its part of maintenance with
out interfering with the operating
end. The latter has been exceed
ingly busy with the four big en-
gines available and in getting away
with the better than 10000 tons
of ore which it is handling month
ly has made record for all the
country. In this the train crews of
the ore line have had the big part
and in handling their business with
freedom from accidents, promptness
and cleanness have established
standard which puts the Nevada
Northern men of the line, conduc-
tors, firemen, and brakemen
squarely in front in the west for eff
ficiency

HIDDEN TREASURE LEASING.

Supt James Mcdonald, of the
Hulse Leasing Co., operating on the
Ontario claim of the Hidden Treas
ure group, was visitor in town
yesterday. In an interview he stated
that the lease was looking better
than ever in it's history and that the
tonnage now blocked out is greater
than at any time since the company
took the lease. According to Mr..
Mcdonald regular shipments of ca:
load lots can be made ten times each
month, providing means can be Sc
cured for getting the ore out of the
mine. The shipping ore, said Mr..
Mcdonald, is over feet in width.
while the ledge is much wider and
would make an immense concentrat-
ing proposition.

threaten the carrying out of the
party organization plans. Great
doubt is expressed that the presi-
dent will be able to get the insurgent
senators to go along with him as
progressive than are those of the
president.
Both Cummins and Borah believe
in the physical valuation of railroads
strict regulation of capitalization
and uniform freight rates. The
president never has gone this far.
Senator Dolliver differs with presi-
dent on tariff and does not believe
that question has been settled. He
probably will work to reopen he
schedules at the coming session.
Seator Clapp is for progressive legi-
Station in both corporation matters
and the tariff, and especially would
he like to see holding companies be
required to pay the corporation in
come tax. President Taft has indi-
Gated that the tariff and the corpora
tion income tax legislation are clos
ed matters for the remainder of his
term.
1t is interesting to note that Sen
ator LaFollette has not been invited
by rumor, to these conferences. He
is going over the path of the presi-
dent in the middle west and in the
far west, sowing the seeds of insur-
gency, dissatisfaction with the tariff
and the Intellectual character of cor
poration control recommended by
the president.
Hard on the heels of these reports
comes rumors, disquieting to politi-
clans here, that Senator Aldrich is
to hurry to Washington to win Presi-
dent Taft over to the vie wthat the
most pressing piece of legislation is
reform of the monetary system.
This legislation will be a gigantic
task and the Aldrich plan of CEN

president has declared was the best
ever passed by the Republican party
The bill was not good enough for
these senators.
Each of the insurgents has views
on the subject of corporations as
clearly defined as the presidents.
Each of them would go further in
the matter of regulation and control
than the president has indicated a
willingness to go. The president
wants them to study his plan, and
see if they cannot be satisfied with
it. He is willing to compromise ana
amicably adjust matters SO that all
may go along in peace.
If the president can win over the
insurgent senator's he will have
scored double victory. He will
have gained their support to his cor
poration legislative plans and will
have paved the way for an easy ad-
justment of difficulties that may

Mr.. West says he has not been i'll
a day for many years. AS a young
man he was sickly, and it was pre-
dicted that he would die before he
was 80.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 30
President Taft is expected in the
White House November 10. On or
about the date there will assemble
here most of the Republican leaders
of the senate and house, and it is
understood that a conference will
be held to discuss with the president
matters of policies that the president
desires to see worked out by con-
gress this winter. At Beverly last
summer the president prepared his
legislative message, to congress.
The cardinal features of the message
in recommendations for legislation
it is believed are being tried on the
people through the medium of the
presidents addresses delivered dur
ing his trip about the country.
1t is expected that at the gather
ing of the leaders they will bring
reports of the effect of the presi-
dents speeches on the sentiment of
the people; in their respective
states; the possibility of the passage
of remedial legislation through con-
gress; the growth of revolt, and the
power of the senate and house or
ganizations to do what the majority
or the president wants done.
One of the first scheduled con-
ferences before the opening of con-
gress will be on amendments to the
Hepburn rate law, and control of in
terstate corporations and the rail-
roads. Attorney General Wicker
ham has been licking the presidents
ideas into shape and the legislative
draft will be ready for the con-
ference.
To this conference have been in
vited Senators Cummins and DOLL
iver of Iowa; Clapp of Minnesota;
Bristow of Kansas and Borah of
Idaho. BY this move the president
played political trump card. These
are leading insurgents of the senate,
and they formed the military opposi-
sition to the tariff bill which the

Great Reception.-Wash
ingtOn View Of Trip and
The Probable Results

New Orleans, Oct. 30.-President
Taft arrived in New Orleans at 10
o'clock this morning, bringing to a
successful conclusion the long trip
down the Mississippi from st. Louis.
The reception extended here has
been well worthy the big president.
1t was opened by a hundred thous-
and enthusiastic citizens who lined
the bank of the river.
Following the official welcome,
President Taft and party entered
carriages and a great parade up
Canal street was begun.
Following the parade the presi-
dent accepted an invitation to lunch
with Archbishop Benk at noon and
dined informally with the distin-
guished prelate.
The president thereafter began a
strenuous afternoon, visiting the
Jesuit college and addressing the
students briefly, hurrying then to
the Athenaeum, where he delivered
a speech before the waterways con-
vention.
On the way back to his hotel, the
president dedicated the Taft Athletic
field. A formal dinner at the Pick
wick club tonight completed the
days program.

A POSITIVE CURE
 FOR INDIGESTION

If you have indigestion, your food ferments in the stomach and bowels. It does more: it decays, and the nutritious matter which should go to make new blood decays with it, and this leads to an impoverished condition of the blood, to nervousness, bilious. ness. constipation, sick headache, bad breath which disgusts your friends, and other disagreeable and unpleasant conditions.
 And all this trouble is caused by the food that doesn't digest, but ferments and oftimes rots in the stomach.
 And fermentation is caused by the stomach not being strong enough and energetic enough to thoroughly mix the food with the digestive juices.
 IONA is responsible for tens of thousands of cures. In fact, it is such positive cure for indigestion and all stomach troubles that it is guaran. teed by Anders Jacobsen to cure or money back. The price of a large box of Mi-o.na tablets is 50 cents, and they are sure to promptly relieve the worst case of indigestion or gas tritis Try them.

Turquoises and the MonaoIs,

TurQuciSes are the favorite stones of all the Mongol races and are generally worn in their original state except by the Chinese women, who have them roughly cut and wear them mixed with pearls and coral. Both the Tibetan men and women ornament themselves with lump turQuoises, the men wear ing them attached to their single gold earrings, which are worn in the right ear only.
 The women of Ladakh carry their fortunes on their heads in the shape Df a broad strip of red cloth studded with huge turquoises, which, starting from the forehead, is carried over the head and hangs nearly to the waist. By the Ladakhis those turquoises are preferred that have little black specks on them, which show their genuine ness, for even in the wilds of central Asia the spotless blue composition emanating from Europe is offered for sale, the bazaar at Darjeeling being flooded with it.
 The Bhutia women in the Darjeel1ng district wear quaint brass ornaments covered with chip turquoises, which are cheap, but the Mongolians have the embossed silver plates which form such a becoming headgear studded with really fine turquoises, for which the owners have to give valuable furp in exchange. -Cornhil Magazine.

Luck In Golf.

Luck, as will readily be understood, l, Is a factor that enters very largely into golf Perhaps the most notable case on record is that of Jamie An derson when competing for the cham pionship at Prestwick in 1878. He had just teed his ball for the seventeenth drive when a little girl standing among the spectators remarked that he had unconsciously placed it just in front of the proper line. Although nobody else had noticed the fact, this proved on examination by the referee to be correct. ThereupOn Anderson teed his ball again in a fresh position we'll behind the line and made drive which landed him in the hole and eventually enabled him to win the match. If, however, he had played 1t from the original spot he would have been penalized a stroke and have lost the championship. Clearly, then, luck on the links is something to be taken into consideration whatever nonbeliev- CTS may say to the cOntrary.-Bailey's Magazine.
