LOCAL SUIT GOES
 10 WASHINGTON Imperial Wheel Works of This City Seeks to Compel
 Railroad Companies
TO CONNECT ITS SPUR
Railroad Commission Has Already Or dcred it-Many Legal Points
 Ire Involved.

What prCmis:e.; - itc one ol me i taken before the interstate commerce commission from any southern state, company of this city against the St.
 Louis. Iron Mountain and Southern Railway company and the Pine Bluff and Western Railway company, to be . filed by Attorneys Young and RoweH. i of this city at Washington Monday.
 The petitioner asks the national com mission for an order requiring the railroad companies to make spur track in connection from the line of the Pine Bluff and Western company, q branch of the Iron Mountain, to the factory plant of the wheel company here. Such an order has already been made by the Arkansas railroad com mission at the instance of the wheel company, but the order is resisted by the railroad companies. on the ground that 1t is private spur and that the railroad commission has no authori- ty to compel them to make the con- nection, in that it is an interstate matter.
 The contention of the wheel com panN is that the nature of it's business is both state and interstate and that both the state railroad and the inter state commerce commissions have au- thority Tire railroad companies say they are willing to make the desired connection if the wheel company will sign the standard switch contract, freeing the railroads of any liabilities from injury or damage occasioned by the negligence of it's employees or the wheel company, in operating over the spur track. It also frees the railroads Of any damages resulting from fire and it has a tendency to increase the fire insurance rate to a great extent.

REV. yfRMILIIoN
 BREACHES FROM AUTO
Evangelist Attracted Large Crowd to Second Avenue and Main Street Last Night-Also Big Crowd at Ohio Stree; Church.

Rev. Vermllion, who is conductine successful revival at. the Ohio Street Baptist church, preached at Second avenue and Main street, from an auto
 early last night and attracted a large crowd of spectators to that corner He denounced the liquor dealers and incidentally gave his hearers few points on how to live right. At the Ohlo street church he also preached 10 large congregation later in the evening"
 beE NermllllOn took his lesson from the ll6 Psalm His text was the 1oth verse of the same, What shall rem der unto the Lord for all His benefits to me Theme: Gods blessings to HIS and our returns to him.. In his presentation of the subject, he said that one of the most common faults With the human families is that of in- gratitude. Men will complain about the misfortunes of life. while He will pass over thousands of the richest of blessings unnoticed. He contrastel Il with this kind of man. David. who sad: @l will praise the Lord because lie hath inclued His ear unto me.
 Reve rend Vermillon showed that the Lord has blessed us bountifu]]y and that he has preserved our lives rom many unseen dangers into which We would have fallen, but for his care that He has comforted us in many kinds of troubles and distress. r, an since God has done so much for us and has provided that man may nave an eternal life of happiness, what has man that he can give? God asks only that man in his weakness praise Him and serve Him. David said sI will praise the Lord, and I will walk with Gods people. Rev. Vermillion main talned that a man will always seek ms kind ill social circler, when free to do so and that Gods people will al ways seek to walk with Gods people and like David they will pay their vows to God. He emphasized the fact that if every professed follower of Christ in Rine Bluff would pay his vows to God within very short time he would have such a revival as Pine Bluff has never before seen. Prayer services will be held at D. m and preaching both at II a. m. and 7:3O D. m, today, Everybody is invited tu attend.

be llevelng that that was one of th1 fairest elections ever held ill this dis trict, and knowing that an election which provides that each candidate who has opposition may name an equal number of the judges and that the ballots must be openly cast and count ed can not help but be fair. Nr. Nix. on says he heartily favors and be- lieves that the committee will ado3t that method for nominating judicial officers of this district
 When asked if he expected any kind of contest to arise at the meeting of thls committee he stated that he did not for reason that at a previous meeting of the judicial convention it was provided by resolution that this election should be held along line just suggested and at that meeting there was present not only himself but every man that has been men, toned as probable candidate for prosecuting attorney at this time. and all agreed upon this manner of hold ing this election.

~ HE word from Ely about the Ely-Godfeld railroad, is n most
reassuring of any we have had regarding the actual eventuauon
of that project. There have been some mlsglvlngs at Times
about the good faith of the projectors of this road. II mas oeen
rumored that it was only a stragetic move on the part i N Nevaua
Consolidated and the large mining companies to force better freight
rates from the Nevada Northern, which if secured would mean the
abandonment of the threatened Ely-Goldfeld road; but The News mas
never thought that the immensea amount of money spent on surveys on
this project would be thrown away for the purposes OF a blum, ana
that our faith in the ultimate completion of the road was welLfound-
ed, is evidenced by the report from Ely that responsible officials OF the
road had made the positive statement for the public that construction
was to begin at once.
The News has also stated frequently, although the project may
seem to have been moving slowly and uncertainty, that the TonoPah-
.Goldfeld railroad shops would be built at Goldfed. We still insist
that it is our belief that this will come to pass, and we believe before
the end of the year, that is, within six weeks, something definite along
this line may be ready for publication. The story recently re-publlsh-
ed in a local paper from a Tonopah daily that Tonopah had been de
|cided upon as a fnality, because certain shop machinery had been
ordered sent to that place from the east, in nOwise shakes our faith In
the ultimate outcome.
These are cheerful Thanksgiving day thoughts. Although as
people Goldfeld may not have had the most prosperous year and lit
tie in retrospect may have happened to cause us to be grateful for bet
ter things to come, and after all it may prove to be the best yeal
Goldfeld ever had"

Criminal Neglect

- ECENTLY the Oakland Tribune called attention to the revival
of the oldtime tragedies of the Colorado and Mojave deserts,
N which have been this year so frequent and numerous a to com
|mand special attention. No part of the state is SO rich N dlverslned
mineral deposits as these two deserts. Most of the land contained IN
them is in the national public domain; but the national government
has so far done nothing to aid prospectors in exploring them and un-
covering their natural wealth. AT one time the state assumed the
responsibility and the expense of establishing guide posts in both Sec
lions. directing the course and specifying the distance to the water
valuable landmarks and the two deserts are a S much death traps to-
day IS they ever were.
The national government is directly concerned in the develop
ment of the mineral wealth of the deserts. 1t has done nothing thus
far, however, to aid the prospector in his work or to protect his life
against the dangers which surround him in his search for deposits Of
mineral wealth. And, yet, the field for exploration is so promising
and so seductive that it seems criminal on the part of the national
government to neglect its paternal duty in this respect. 1t has been
concentrating its energies toward the reclamation Of vast areas ss
|ceptible to agricultural uses through irrigation and has given no at
|tention to the development of the mineral wealth treasured in these
barren wastes. Everything has been left in that respect to individual
effort and the risk of life associated with 1t. N
Is the mining prospector less worthy of consideration than the
pioneer OF agricultural development? Is the safety Of the life of the
prospector less important than the security or success of the man who
|tls the land? Has not the former contributed his quota, is well as
the latter, to the development of the natural resources of the cOun-
try? Undoubtedly he has. Without the products Of it's mineral re-
sources the United States would be in a sorry plight today If that
assumption is true, and we opne that it will survive the strictest
analysis, mining is, therefore, entitled to the same paternal consider
alton on the part OF the national government as agriculture is receiv-
ing. The pioneer in the development of the agricultural resources of
the arid lands of the deserts in the public domain is being helped by
the national government on an extensive scale. But the pioneer in
the development of the mineral resources of the waste lands is me-
glected-he is being left to depend entirely o. his own grit and
energy, involving the risk of his life, without a finger being lifted to
aid and protect him in his hazardous occupation. 1t is time for a
change of policy. Manifesty, the national governments first duty is
to open trails and roadways and establish and maintain landmarks
and guide posts, to and from water holes, which cannot be obliterated
by sandstorms.
