Pullman Company's Extortionate Charge.

Sacramento Bee: There has been a chuckle of satisfaction
III ova the country because the Interstate Commerce Commission,
ordared a reduction of the Pullman charges for berths. Although
APPLIES to certain trips only, as between St Paul and points
farther west. in principle it relates to the whole country.
The rule laid down ly the Commission is that for a short night
;ournev the charge should not be more than S110 for an upper
berth and 81 so for a lower. The Pullman Company has been charg-
inc 50 for either upper or lower berth on the run from 81. Paul to
Fargo. North Dakota, a distance of 242 miles, which rates have
been reduced as stated.
The Pullman Company has made itself unpopular not only by
its high charges, but by its arbitrary treatment Of the public. 1t
has always il sisted on exacting as much for an upper as for a lower
berth. which is not reasonable, and has also refused to keep a dis
used upper berth out Of the way of the occupant of the berth below,
a thing for which there is no justification.
Pullman profits have been enormous. In the last 10 years the
COMPANY has paid dividends amounting to $50, 600, 900, besides divd-
ing a large surplus and repeatedly watering its stock.
The companys charges should be reduced all over the country
in harmony with the cuts ordered by the commission.
Despite the high charges and great profits made by this mo-
nopoly it is notorious for paying poor wages to its employees. Its
porters live chiefly upon tips paid by travellers. This is
one of the worst features of the monopoly, and the tip system
has long been a great imposition on the public. The company can
we'll afford to prohibit tips and pay liberal wages. This would
result in better service, and be far more satisfactory to the public.

Reno Bar Association Fails To Act

A correspondent in the Western part OF the State, IN whose
reliability the SENTINEL has every confidence, sends the following
regarding the alleged unprofessional conduct of one of the members
of the Reno Bar Association:
A few weeks ago the Reno Bar Association held an important
meeting, called for the purpose of investigating the conduct OF one
of its members. 1t was charged at said meeting that one OF the
members of said association was advertising in the East and IN
San Francisco, his specially, to wit: divorce. This was not consid-
cred serious. However, it was further charged that the offending
member advertised most extensively in theatrical programmes In the
East and in San Francisco that he could procure divorces in Reno
in Judges Chambers. 1t was further charged that said attorney
had many divorce cases pending in Washoe County,, but that his
most desperate cases, and by far the greatest number, were brought
in Goldfeld, Esmeralda County, Nevada.
Under these charges, a committee was appointed to investigate
the facts, with authority to bring disbarment proceedings against
attorney, to the end that respectable attorneys should not be
tarred with the same stick. The committee found the charges to be
true, and obtained copies of the theatrical programmes. which adver-
tie that the Judges of Washoe County and Esmeralda County
grant divorces at Chambers, instead of in open Court, which
advertisement is false.
However, the committee has not acted yet, and it is surmised
that their non-acuon in the matter of such serious charges, found to
be true, is caused by the fact that it might "hurt business" 1t may
be that the committee on "Public Morals" has induced the offend
ing member to quit advertising that he can obtain divorces at
and Jet it go at that.

Ely-G oldfield Construction Delayed

Salt Lake Herald Republican, April Is: Work on the con-
struction of the Ely Goldfeld railroad is not to be commenced until
some time late in the Summer, owing to changes in the original sur
vy, according to advices received here. The promoters and fnan-
ciers of the company have decided not to begin actual operations until
a perfectly satisfactory route has been agreed upon. In discussing
the matter General Traffic Manager W. r. Alberger of the Tonopah
Il Tidewater Railroad Company, says:
There have been some alterations necessary with regard to
the original survey which will delay the beginning of the eonstruc-
lion of the road. These changes in the survey are now being made,
which will not, however, alter the route as surveyed to a great de-
gree. No contracts have been let, nor will any be awarded until a
perfect survey is completed. 1t will probably be late in the Sum
ner before the laying of the roadbed will begin"

NEEDLES AFTER GOLDFIELD ORE

Clark County Review: The Needles
smelter, which q few months ago passed

This schedule. just issued by W. Keith,

AS an illustration Of the advantage in
rates to be enjoyed by the river smelter
the following example is given: The

Great Progress On Panama Canal

Washington, April 14-Although it was generally known that
progress had been made by the Army engineers in digging
the Panama Canal, the statement contained in the Canal Record,
just at hand, that all of the excavation that was contemplated in
the original project has been completed comes as a surprise.
Under that plan 100, 10000 cubic yards of material were to be
removed and that has been done. But subsequently,, in order to ac-
commodate naval vessels of the Dreadnaught type and the giant
liners now under construction, the President ordered the widening
and deepening of the canal cut. That involved the removal of
7O,S71, 594 additional yards of material, and this is all of the task
of excavation that confronts the engineers.
The record of accomplishments has been without precedent in
engineering undertakings. The real work of digging did not begin
until 1907. In that year nearly 100000 cubic yards of earth
were removed, and since that time the daily average has been
steadily growing, until now, in three and a quarter years, all of the
excavation called for in the original plan has been accomplished.
Last month 1867, 400 yards of material were taken out, and this in
the face of the heaviest March rains known on the isthmus.

lowest score for the SO holes with a
total of 157 strokes. His score for
the first Is holes was 81 and for the
last Is holes, 70. By missing a
6-foot putt on the last hole, he lost
chance of tying the low medal
score of 70, held by his brother. Ardo
Mitchell. His drive and approach
on the last hole were perfect, bring
ing the ball within six feet of the
hole. His putt trimmed the hole, but
was little too speedy to go down.
w. D. Middleton of Davenport,
champion of the club in 1909, fin
ished second in the qualifying round
