? PARALLELS
DEADLY TO
RAILROADING
CHICAGO BANKER GIVES HIS
OPINION OF COMPETITION IN
TRANSPORTATION LINES.
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-Additional
testimony favoring federal regula-
tion of the issuance of railroad se-
curities, as opposed to state control,
was given before the railroad se-
curities commission yesterday by
George M. Reynolds, president of
the Continental Commerce National
bank.
Mr.. Reynolds said too strict fed
eral control might result in the
roads being held responsible for the
success or failure of an enterprise.
Another danger, he said, would
lie in the lifting Of profits which
securities should be held. He also
thought if profits were limited by
the commission, the tendency would
be to make railroad stocks less
popular. AlIuding to rates, Mr..
Reynolds said the country was suf-
fering from too many parallel lines.

DAM UAOE0
WILL CONE UP
next MONTH
THEY WILL COME UP IN THE
DISTRICT COURT ON 9TH
PRox.-DIsQUAMFIED.

The cases involving the countys
100000 deposit in the Nye & Orms-
by County bank, and the three
notes in the same bank for $22,-
900 given for money borrowed for
the county, will come up in the
district court here on the 9th prox.
These cases, to particularize, are
against ex-Treasurer Gilbert and his
bondsmen; against the late Sheriff
Logan and his bondsmen; and
against the First National Bank of
San Francisco and the First Ma
tional Bank of Goldfield. All these
actions will come up on demurrers
and various law points.
Some other Judge will be called
in from the outside for these hear
ings, as Judge Averill feels that
he is disqualified in the premises.
District Attorney Sanders is busy
these days framing up the budget
for the year, as basis from which
the commissioners may work at
their next meeting. when they make
the tax levy for the year.
1t is hoped to keep the levy at
the present rate ($3.6O in Tono-
pah), but the finances are in such
poor shape that the situation is
rapidly simmering down to where
the county will either have to bor-
row money or make an increased
levy. 1t is to prevent the adoption
of either contingency that the dis
trict attorney is trying to devise
ways and means.
One Of the things to come be-
fore the grand jury, it is said, is
the investigation of certain charges
OF gambling in the county. No
formal complaint has yet been
made, however.

TO START WORK ON
CARSON RIVER PROJECT

Within thirty days, fifteen miles
west of Fallon, the preliminary
work will begin on the Carson rec
lamation dam, which is expected to
occupy from 200 to 400 men for a
period Of two years, to cost from
$1,250,00O for the dam proper to
$3,00O,O0O for all the adjuncts,
which will enlarge the Truckee-Car-
son project from 10000 to 100000
acres, and which, when completed,
will be one of the biggest pieces
of reclamation engineering in the
United States.
The dam will be 1000 feet long,
$50 feet across the top, 900 feet
thick at the base, and 10 feet
high. The surface will be rip
raped and at either end will be a
massive concrete spillway with
sluices to regulate the release of
the impounded waters.
BY means of the dam it is pro-
posed to back the waters of the
Carson river up for a distance Of
twenty miles, and virtually convert
1T into an intermittent lake, with
the deepest part 115 feet deep. The
Improvement will do more to de-
velop the agricultural interests OF
Nevada than anything that has been
done. in the last five years.

WRONG CHECK
GETS A miner
into TROUBLE
A TALE OF TWO CHECKS, AND
LIKEWISE TWO MEN OF
THE SAME NAME.

miner in the employ of the
Belmont, by the name of Mike
Banovich, felt like John D. Rookie
feller for few days this month
right after payday-but feels
somewhat differently now, after a
hearing in the local justice court
yesterday afternoon.
When he drew his check at the
company Office on the 10th inst
he noticed that it was made out
for $4S more than was really due
him, but Judging that he had per-
haps put in more shifts than he
had counted, he said nothing and
took the check.
A little later another Mike
Banovich showed up at the office
for his check there are two Of
them on the company's payroll.
Then the trouble began. The check
for the second Banovich was shy
Just $4S of what he claimed was
due him. The bookkeeper quickly
located the trouble. and then all
hands began trying to locate Bano-
vich No. | and stopping the nego-
tiation of the check.
The principal stores and saloons
Of the town were telephoned not
to cash the check If presented.
Among them was the Casino, but
the man who took the message at
the phone and promised to notify
the manager never did SO.
That same night Banovich No.
on hunt for a good time on his
easy money, showed up at the Ca
sino. He cashed the check without
difficulty and proceeded to enjoy
himself. This he did quite success
fully, and was feeling rather good
even the next day, until he was
suddenly arrested on a complaint
sworn out by Manager Johnson. Of
the Casino, who objected to being
made the fall guy.
He was DaroIed until the return,
home Of the local justice. and yes
terday he had his hearing, when
ne was fined $4S and costs, which
he paid. OF course. the other Ban
ovich got his proper check from

FoRDING THE MISSISSIPPI.

The Mississippi river is SO low
in places it can be forded on foot
1t was entirely too low for the
smallest craft. The Missouri and
other streams are also down to low
tide, the lowest at some points in
history. so the weather bureau gives
out. They may never 60 as low
again, and yet they may. There
is no way Of telling.
In this situation is a suggestion
of enormous task entailed in the
deep waterway scheme. 1t should
remind our most earnest advocates
Of this enterprise that much pa
tience will be required before the
work is really done. 1t is not,
therefore, matter about which we
can afford to grow peevish. Here
is the Father OF Rivers so shall
low in places that person can
wade across it. That is a fairly
good hint of what is to be per.
formed before our visions of a deep
waterway traffic are realized. r
need not necessarily suggest that
the plan is chimerical, but it GER
tainly ought to convince us of the
unreasonableness in expecting ev-
erybody to fall readily into pro
noting the project on the theory
that 1t is simple piece of rip
rapping that can be done in q
short time. Omaha Bee.
