Since the Second Regiment band at
Little Rock has refused to renew their
contract with the department of the
United States, the suggestion has been
made that the band be secured for
this city. There are a number of
young men in Conway who would no
doubt be glad to become members of
a regiment band.

COMMISSIONERS VIEWS ON
LONG AND SHORT HAUL

Views of the interstate commerce
commission on the application of the
long aud short haul provision of the
commerce act are given in statement
issued from Washington Tuesday
They relate particularly to the apph.
eation of the provision to import and
export freight rates. In view OF the
facts elected at the hearing on No.
yember 2s. 1910, the commission holds;
"That inland export and import
rates are subject TO the provisions of
the act aud within the jurisdiction of
t. commission.
"That the fourth section of the
amended act forbids carriers subject
thereto, without authority from the
commission, in accordance with sald
section, to charge more for the trans
partat'ou of a like kind OF export or
imnot traffic for a shorter than for
a lenoer haul over the same line in the
same direction.
'sSo far as the fourth section is
concerned, carriers are required, III
the FIRST instance, TO establish export
and import rates which shall be meas
urel and limited by domestic inter
state rates between the same points
of origin and destination in the reas
onableness of any Of these rates undel
the provisions of section one, and ques
tions of discrimination under tn
third section, may all be considered
and the commission may condemn an
discrimination in export and impor
rates -

GREAT REVIVAL
CLOSE AT HAND

AS the time draws near for the be-
ginning of the revival services at the
Methodist Episcopal church, in this
city, the attention of the people is
being attracted in that direction. This
is the intended purpose of the articles
bearing on the subject, which are be-
ing published in the local papers,
through the courtesy of the editors.
In yesterdays Star reference was
made to series of meetings held in
Downey, Cal, by Evangelist McClur-
kan and singer, Geo. w. Trotter. The
Downey Champion had this to say re-
garding Mr. McClurkan and the sue
cess of his efforts in Downey:
Mr.. McClurkan calls spade "a
spade. He names sin as sin, whether
in high or low life. He tells men and
women that they are sinners, then
proves it. He tells them there is no
difference between the wealthy and re-
spectacle sinner and the hobo. There
is no difference, and if they are saved,
they are saved on the same ground,
and by the same terms-faith in
Jesus Christ. The older residents say
that this is the most satisfactory, most
successful, most searching revival that
has come upon the town in the past
ten years. -
The following is an extract from the
Tonopah Sun of March 8, 1910, con-
cerning the revival that was being con-
Quoted there by Evangelist McClurkan
at that time:
Evangelist McClurkan's sermon
last night was one of the most power
f,,1 1aI.u
logic was unassailable, the illustra-
tions were vivid and to the point, his
delivery at times was intensely dra-
matte He swayed his audience at
will from burning tears to paroxysms
of laughter with all the earnestness
and the virilty Of strong man with
a strong message. Mr.. McClurkan
pictured the awfulness of the end of a
life of sin. The audience remained al
most breathless as he painted the pic
trre of hell made terrible by the
pangs of remorseful conscience He
touched upon the hell he had suffered
in his own lift, when, as a travelling
man, he lived a life of drunkenness,
gambling, debauchery-all the way
from champagne to the Dago red route.
He pictured the hell he suffered when
in the throes of delirium tremens, and
asserted that if hell, after the judg-
ment, is any more horrible, he wants
none of it,
The pastors list for the chorus choir
is growing. Decide that you will hear
these men at the earliest opportunity,
and through them you hear God speak
ing to your soul. Remember that the
first services of this series will be held
next Sunday, January 1st, at eleven
a. M, in the Methodist church.

LACKS AUTHORITY

The hearing of the application of
II F. Orr for the appointment of a
u,,rravor to make an examination of
.ho surface and underground work
mos of the property of the National
Mines company, situated ON Charles
ton hill. National, was commenced this
morning in the District Court.
Plaintiff was present in court, accom-

and Richard Kleesattle, engineer of his

and West Virginia No. 1 claims, ad-
Joining the property of the National

defendant company was represented by
Attorney L. G.. Campbell, and X. S.
Bolam, the companys superintendent,
p. w. Campbell, the well-known Ma
tional promoter, and several other
residents of the camp were IN court,
presumably in the capacity of pros
pective witnesses.
Attorney Campbell raised the ques-
ton of jurisdiction, claiming the
Court had no authority to order sur
vey of the property of defendant in
the absence of pending suit, citing
numerous authorities to maintain his
contention.

raised had not been completed at the

LARGE INCREASE
IN s. P. EARNINGS

The increase in the earnings of the
Southern Pacific company, as shown
by its annual report for the year end
ing June 30, 1910, indicates the pros
perity of the coast states.
The revenue from the passenger
service has increased $5,S42 ,454.T,
and the revenue from freight service
81, ,139, ,674.12 in the last year, and the
revenue from all the branches of the
service has increased from $120,521,-
90s.7s in 1909 to 35,022, ,606.s7 in the
past year, or a gain of 1908 per cent.
The surplus for the year over ope-
rating expenses and taxes is 57,947,-
56532, and the surplus over fixed and
operating expenses is $37 ,240,927 "a,
showing respective gains of 1880 and
1913 per cent
From this surplus of $37 ,240,927 .54,
dividends amounting to $17, ,23S, ,34693
have been paid, leaving a balance of
profit for the year Oh $1s,17s, ,54s.61.
This is by far the best showing in
earning capacity that the properties
have ever manifested. The gain has
been practically continuous since 1897.
In that year the gross transportation
earnings of the company had increased
46 per cent only over those of the year
1856. They are now 344.s6 per cent
more than in 1885. Thirteen million
dollars has been spent in the construc-
tion and acquisition of new lines, and
$9000,000 for betterments.
The average revenue to the COM
pany per passenger mile is now 2.lsS
cents, as compared with 2.ls5 cents in
the previous year; and the average
per ton mile in the freight department
is l.l62 cents, as compared with LISA
cents in the previous year.
The total number of passengers car
ried in the year has been 1,s05, ,s34 1893
and the number of tons of freight
transported was 32,750,263, the aver
age freight haul being 24342 miles.

DECISION IN BIG
WATER-R|CHT SUIT

A most important decision has been
rendered in the Circuit Court, Ninth
district, District of Nevada, in the case
of Anderson Land and Stock company
a corporation, complainant, and Thos.
Mcconnell, executor, respondent.
In 1902 Charles Mcconnell took
away from the Hoppin ranch, belong
ing to the Anderson Land and Stock
company, all of the waters of Quinn
river, Eight Mile creek and Three
Mile creek. In October, 1904, the An
derson Land and Stock company
brought suit in the Federal Court for
an injunction against Charles McCon-
nell to compel him to allow the waters
OF the three streams to flow down to
the Hoppin ranch.
The case was tried in June, 1908, be-
fore Judge Van Vleet, and submitted
on briefs. It was decided last Satur-
day, giving to the Anderson Land and
Stock company 620.2S miners inches
Of water from Three Mile creek as a
first right, giving to Mcconnell 1884
inches as first right of Eight Mile
creek, giving to Anderson Land and
Stock company 1,216.66 inches of Eight
Mile creek, the same being subordinate
to the first right; giving to the Ander-
son Land and Stock company 919.3
inches of Quinn river as first right;
giving to the plaintiff and defendant
each one-half of the waters conveyed
in the company ditch, to be distributed
as it was in 1899, perpetually enjoin-
ing Charles Mcconnell from utilizing
waters belonging to the Anderson
Land and Stock company, and giving
the latter costs of suit, amounting to
aobut 1859. The property involved
is valued at ,pl20, ,000-Reno Gazette
