Employees, Seeking Break In Line, Com
PEELED to Forego Sleep and Fight Ro-
dents After Twenty-Four Hours of
Continuous Work In Deep Snow.

Although sadly in need of sleep,
after twenty-four hours spent in the
deep snow of the White mountains,
in an effort to locate the break in
the Nevada-C California Power COM
pany's lines, the force of workmen
employed by that company were not
allowed to receive the rest to which
they were entitled last night owing
to the fact that swarm Of large
vicious mountain rates burrowed up
through the snow and attacked the
sleepers. None are reported as
having been injured by the attack
of the rodents, but reports received
in Tonopah are to the effect that 1t
was necessary for the entire force
to concentrate its action before the
Amy of rats was forced to beat a
Wtreat.
The workmen had driven as far
as they could into the deep snow
of the mountain fastnesses-it be-
ing stated that the snow ranges
from waist-deep to a depth of as
high as fifteen feet-and had beer
compelled to give up their convey
ance and make what headway they
could afoot and had covered con

PRESIDENT EXPECTS TO AP-
POINT COMMISSION IN THE
NEAR FUTURE.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-It is
expected that President Taft will
announce soon the personnel of the
commission for the consideration of
the proposed increase in the rate on
second-class mail matter The COM
mission was provided for in the
postoffice appropriation bill which
became law Tuesday, and by the
terms of the act must report not
later than December next.
While no definite conclusions as
to the personnel have been reached,
it is suggested that Justice Hughes
of the supreme court may be head
of the commission.
Il am gratified at the outcome of
the discussion of the second-class
rates" says Postmaster General
Hitchcock. Substantial progress
has been made in the consideration
of the matter and l firmly believe

ALL EFFORTS. TO

THUS FAR FAIL
REWARD OFFERED FOR CAP
TURE OF CONVICTED RENO
EMBEZZLER.

RENO, March 9.-From the lat
est obtainable advices all efforts to
locate the fugitive former deputy
city clerk, A. F. Cunningham, of
Reno, have proven futile, Circulars
containing full description of
Cunningham and offering a reward
of 5000 for his capture have been
circulated broadcast by Sheriff Fer
rel.
1t is the belief of the local Of

darkness, but more from the eX,
haustion of the long days work.
Shortly after the men had retired
for the night the rats commenced
to put in an appearance. Whether
seeking the warmth of the sleepers'
blankets or whether in search of
food it is impossible to state. How
ever, SO numerous were the ami
mails that sleep was out of the
question until they had been driven
back.
The work of locating the break
in the power lines is proving more
of a task than was at first sus-
pected. The great depth of the
snow is proving considerable of a
hinderance to the workmen, they
being at times compelled to work
in snow almost neck deep, and at
all times in snow that is at least
up to the waist A distance of but
1000 feet was covered yesterday
to cover the entire seven miles OF
lines through the mountains

the details,
"The entire line from the Mis-
souri, river will be double tracked
within the next five years.
The tunnel under the Sierras
will not be undertaken at once on
account of its cost being too great,
coupled with other expense, but
there will be some tuneling done in
connection with double tracking.

but that Cunningham simply saw a
chance to escape through the open
door and took advantage of it.
This belief is not shared generally
by others, who contend that the fu-
gitive had cunningly planned every
detail of the escape. In support of
this contention the fact that he
has so completely disappeared is
pointed to.

BALL|NGER IS
SUCCEEDED BY
WALTER FISHER
PRESIDENT ACCEPTS RESIGNA-
TION OF SECRETARY OF
INTERIOR.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The
resignation of Richard A. Ballin-
ger, as secretary of the interior,
which was dated January 18th,
was accepted by President Taft on
Tuesday. Walter L. Fisher of Chi
cago has been named by the presi-
dent to succeed Mr.. Ballinger. The
health of NJ Ballinger is given as
his reason for retiring from active
official service.
while President Taft was averse
to accept the resignation he did so,
according to his letter, out of per-
sonal consideration for his late
secretary.
The letter of acceptance written
by the president reads in part:
Dear Mr.. Secretary:

great reluctance. l have had the
fullest opportunity to know you, to
know your standard of service tc

lous conspiracies for the defamation
of character that history can show.

CHURCHES LEARN THE
VALUE OF ADVERTISING

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, March 8.
The churches of this city have
just made an unusual demonstra-
ton of the value of newspaper ad-
vertising. AS a result of an ad-
vertisement campaign of just one
day, an average increase in the at
tendance in the church of about 80
per cent was brought about.
The scheme was participated in
by all the Protestant churches. The
clergymen are conducting special
movement to increase attendance at
the services and fill empty peWs.
