STILL ON LOOK
OUT FOR TROUBLE

San Francisco is always in trouble or
trying to make trouble with some one
else. For many months the papers
have published extensively the details
of powerful new steamship com
pany that was TO run the Paeitic
Mail out of business and handle the
Panama trade. 1t was to be company
independent from any railroad control,
etc. and thev only wanted an equal
show for the business. Then recently
they began publishing complaints al
leging that Secretary Dickinson was
unfair and would not give them an
equal opportunity to do business with
the government owned railroad and
steamship line on the Atlantic. They
even animated that the secretary was
controlled by railroad influence.
He is cabinet officer. and some OF
the napers supposed to be Republican,
Eade many very uncomplimentary no
ments on the subject. They wanted to
humilate the president through abuse
of his official family. The real facts
regarding the Panama railroad are well
known. The secretary is somewhat
limited as to time contracts and other
conditions. Bates and Chesborough
tie steamship promote-s. demanded
cor ditinrs the PaGfc Mail does no'
eniov and which IN secretary could
rot grant
First. vear's contract was asked
ard guarantee Of cargo space. The
contract with the Pacific Mail is ter
miratle on three months notice and il
has no assurance of cargo space what
ever Tie secretary says he can grant
no better conditions to anyone. Ht
was nettled because his position haf
been misrpresented or misunderstood
in San Francisco. IL would have taker
hut day at most to have ascertainet
the facts, but San Francisco must hole
few banquets and use the grea
steamship scheme a few months 70
advertising purposes
1t is now claimed that there wa
really no new steamship line contem
plated at all but that the Hawaiian
Steamship company was behind th'
promoters.

WINNEMUCCA MOST IMPORTANT
NEVADA POINT ON w. P.

The fact that Roadmaster Patton
and several other of the Western Pa
eifc division officials have made Win
nemueca their headquarters has given
collar to the rumor that the division
offices will soon be removed from Elko
to this point. While inquiry has fail
ed to confirm or secure denial Of the
report, Western Pacific officials all
agree that Winnemucca is the most
important station on the line in Ne
vada and the logical site for the
division headquarters.

SAYS "CHARITY
BEGINS AT HOME"
Communicated

A young matron of San Francisco
publishes a strong appeal to the pres
ent "open town" government to pro.
tect the young girls Of the city. She
says the public make no efforts to save
a poor girl. Those with money are
never arrested, but the poor are quick
ly run in and forced to spend night
in prison.
This young woman says money II
needed to help save girls who, from
too low wages and other conditions, are
daily forced into the street. She calls
attention to the millions of dollars that
are annually sent out of the country
for missionary work, and the large
army of missionaries who do more to
incite one religion against another and
cause massacres than uplifting hu-
manity.
What are the aims Of missionariesf :
What ever the answer is the facts
prove that there il more pressing
need for missionary work in the big
cities of the United States than in all
of the so-called semi civilized nations
of the world.
The government found it necessary
to print census instructions in twenty
languages for San Francisco alone,
which shows the wonderful makeup OF
that town. If some Of the wasted
millions of missionary money could be
employed in san Francisco in erecting
comfortable boarding houses to be
operated at low charge for working
girls and women, much misery could
be averted and the girls would have
protecting shelter.
The increasing crime in San Francis
co begins to attract worldwide atten-
ton. 1t has long since passed the
mark that brought into action the
vigilantes of 40. Yet q while longer
and the Lord will surely send another
vigilance committee that viii in day
avenge the murders, robberies and
destruction Of the innocents. When
the storm breaks it will sweep clean,
regardless of position or pull. A crus-
ader will rise in answer to the prayer
of mothers and fathers. The terrible
but just unwritten law will be invoked
to free Justice from its binding fetters.
The time is near at hand.

OIL lands BRING
ING GOOD PRICES

The new oil fields at Sulphur are
fast coming into prominence and oil
men are flocking in from all over the
country.
Work on the c. o. d. well has been
temporarily suspended. awaiting the
arrival Of shoe'' from Los Angeles.
Every man in the camp is "bear, ,.
and is willing to stake his last dollar
on the success Of the well. "Doubt-
ing Thomases. who are included
among the new arrivals, are escorted
over to the Western Pacific well and
given an opportunity to light the gas.
After that they are the camp =
stanchest supporters.
During the week q California oil
man, who had just came in from SUI
phur, approached a Winnemucca man
who owns several sections of land In
the fields and rendered him q draft
for .$l,250 in exchange for a quarter
section. The local man handed the
paper back, with the remark, "That
will buy just one acre. Afterwards
the California man exhibited an assay
OF the oil he had in hi possession, made
in San Francisco, which declared the
substance to be IS per cent parafin.
1t is reliably reported that during
the week a sale was made Of so acres.
one-quarter mile distant from the
Western Pacific well, for $l,5OO.
At present it is rather difficult to
reach Sulphur, owing to the fact that
the Western Pacific is maintaining no
regular train schedule. However. this
state Of affairs will not exist much
longer, as it IS the intention Of the
company to commence its passenger
service about the first Of June.

HILL REPORTED
after THE W. P.

Recently the Silver State published
the fact that the Hill railroad people
had secured control Of the Western
Pacific, which is to be used to afford
an entrance to San Francisco for the
Hill system. Several of the chief Of
ficers of the Western Pacific, accom-
panied by young Hill, are now going
over the Western Pacific upon tour
of inspection. The Hill people con-
template tapping the Western Pacific
at two places-from klamath Falls
to Lake View and from Caldwell to
Winnemucca. These lines will open
the great northwest country to the
central transmountain section, which
will afford that vast section competing
facilities to tidewater and cheap
freight rates.
Congress refused to permit all-water
hauls to be controlled by the interstate
commerce, which is decidedly in the
interests of inland points. All of the
great east and west railway systems
are now vigorously at work to tap the
Pacific at some point to secure por.
tion of the great traffic that will fol-
low the opening of the Panama canal.
Even the Spreckels road from San
Diego to Yuma is now very much
sought after. 1t was on that business
that Judge Lovett and the Spreckels
have recently had so many conferences.
and not on California politics, as a
San Francisco paper was so anxious
about. San Diego as Pacific ter
minus is much desired. especially by
the 4.ock Island. It would also give
the Santa Fe practically monopoly
should they secure the San Diego and
Yuma road, besides the fertile sec-
tion of Imperial valley is now produc-
ing a large tonnage Of staple products
and being rapidly peopled on its mil-
lion of acres of silt land. Imperial can
easily absorb $4,000 immigrants to
raise cotton, melons, ETC., if they can
stand Egyptian climatic conditions.
The southern negro would be the ideal
help for that section.
The Viaduct road from Los Angeles
when completed, will give Winnemuc-
ca direct communication with the I'm
perial country, and now that the Stan
dard Oil and American Tobacco cases
before the supreme court are practf-
cally held up for at least another yea
the stock and money market may b.
expected to become lively, with brik
trading. Those cases held up inve,t-
pending the decision of the highest
American court as to the validity of a
combination of large capital in trade.

Judge Mitchell has jurisdiction over
the new Ninth district, composed Of
White Pine county. Until the last ses-
sion of the legislature this county, with
Elko, Lincoln and Clark, comprised the
Fourth district and was under the jur-
isdiction of Judge Brown, of Elko. The

Mitchell will endeavor to arrange with
some other judge to occupy his bench

ed young man, with hair prematurely
grey, which has the effect of adding to
his normally dignifed appearance.
Added to his six feet in height, with a
frank, clean-shaven, rather serious
face, Judge Mitchell impresses the or
dinary person. on first acquaintance,
as being fearless and abe jurist.
