the opinio that the fire started from
az explosion in one OF the drifts That
he did not believe the shaft was in
any danger, as little timbering was
carried on in the drifts, only in catch
ing up vein matter This being the
case the probabilities are that the
fire will be confined to the level where
the explosion took place.
The Belmont is as well equipped
to fight such fire as any OF the mines
in the South, and by this evening it
is believed that further word can be
received from the disaster This is
the first real disaster that has hap
Icned in any OF the deep mines in

the reports have been exaggerated.

GOOD ROADS AND

Governor Oddie Would Favor Law
Making Prisoners of Use

Washoe does not see its way clear to
improvements such as contemplated
Governor Oddie is of the opinion that
the men at the penitentiary or a
portion of them should be placed on
such work and the state would be
placed at very small expense and
secure road that would be lasting
and beneficial for all times 1t means
the introduction OF new money by
people who have it to spend. They
would be given a chance to look over
the Nevada investments and posslbili-
ties that are practically impossible

they are at present. Once the new

Senator Coryell has introduced 4
bill in the Senate to allow the use OF

an appropriation of one hundred
thousand dollars it s doubtful if it
passes, as the idea has been to use the
prisoner without additional state eN-
pense, or very slight expense such
as extra guards and overseers. 1t is
possible that the Senators bill can be
amended to meet the requirements as
it is in committee From this or some
other such law there should be a bill
framed that will benefit the state,
keep the present idle prisoner en-
ployed and bring the tourist trade to
this State.

This afternoon in the y. S. Court
before Judge harrington the case OF
Woodsides and the Southern Pacific
Railroad VS. the Railroad Commits sion
OF Nevada comes up for hearing
President Cutter OF the Tonopah
Goldheld Railroad and number of
other fficials OF the same corpora
ton are in this city. This afternoon
number of attorneys and officials
of the Southern Pacific will arrive,
who will be before the court on evi-
dence and testimony
This is the case where the Southern
Pacific and Tonopah Goldheld Rail
road asked for an injunction against
the Nevada Railroad Commission
some weeks ago. The hearing was
before Judge Morrow, Van Fleete and
harrington. The injunction was de-
MED and the railroads were ordered
to lower the lumber rates from Verdls
Nevada to the Southern mining
towns. The cut in the rates is as
high as sixty per cent. The present
trial before Judge harrington is on the
merits of the case and involves the
rights OF the Railroad Commis sion
to order such cuts in rates as it
deems advisable and just to the rail
roads and the people.
The San Francisco Recorder in re-
viewing the action of the Federal
Judges when they dissolved the in
junction and ordered the establish
ment OF the rates, comments as fol
lows:
III the recent decision OF the
United States Circuit Court for the
District Of Nevada one OF the
straws that indicate the direction of
the wind, the railroads OF this country
will receive cold comfort from the
courts in their demand fo. higher
rates for transportation OF freight.
The court unequivocally announces
the doctrine that expensive manage
ment will not justify higher
rates to pay expenses and dividends
to the stockholders Carried to its
logical conclusion this means that the
railroad companies in asking for
higher rates or in protesting against
reductions, must be able to show that
they are economically and not extrav-
agantly managed and that the cost OF
hauling freight per ton mile has been
reduced to its lowest terms commen-
surate with good service, before the

it so tight that some OF his con-
stituauts in Washoc County COM
menced 10 squirm. They asked him
10 amend the bill when it hit the

with no opposition. Mr.. Mayors came
over to the Senate and first stated
that he had been convinced that tho

Several good road bills have been
introduced in the legi lature all aim
ing to improve the road conditions
throughout Nevada 1t is move III
the right direction and undoubtedly
some action will come from the effort
on the part of the members who are
interested in this class or state work.
Governor Oddie is a good road
crank He has autoed from border
TO border and knows the condition
man n the state. In his message to
the legislature he suggests that the
convicts of the State be put to work
on the highways and thus benefit the
State and keep the men from idleness
at the penitentiary.
In a talk with Governor Oddie
along this line he made the following
suggestion:
That the convicts OF the peniten-
road from this section to meet the
California roads During the past
few seasons. or since the automobile
has been demonstrated as TIE mount
ain vehicle OF the future, hundreds of
tourists have crossed to Western Ne
vada from California They visit Car
son, Reno, Fallon and other points
accessible from the main roads. In
the wake OF the auto parties there
is stream of money lett, as the
people who can afford to travel by
this means have the coin to spend.
The Governors idea is that by plac-
ing the roads leading from this valley
to Lake Tahoe in first class condition
that many more tourists will naturally
take advantage OF the roads and visit
Western Nevada This could be done
by the convict help, and not Interfere
with other laborers.

Racing i'm California seems to be about
at an end. The passage Of the anti
gambling law will mean the closing OF
the tracks in that state within the next
few weeks.
The sport would probably not have been
molested had those most interested In it
been wise enough to foresee that the
days of the bookmaker are rapidly pass
ing The installation of the Pari-mutuel
system alone can save racing, yet pro-
moters of the sport seem unwilling to
make the change until it is too late to do
SO. tz
The Canadian tracks seem to have the
right idea, for they are not waiting until
adverse legislation has been thrown in
their path, but are adopting the parf-
mutuel system before they are compelled
to close their gates.
This French system Of speculation pre-
vents collision. the one evil which has
done much to make the. racing game. un-
popular. No doubt there have been more
unfounded charges made against turf
men then the facts justified, but. with
the pari-mutuel in vogue all talk of
crOokedness Is prevented and the public
is always sure to get run for it's money.
According to Capt. Davis of the Ath-
letics the selection of Atlanta for training
purposes is not a wise move. The world s

memory serves right there was nothing
wrong with Connie Macks team the
springs it trained there. This wealth

how, and the Nationals are apt to strike
hot weather in Atlanta, but 1t is probably
much better not to have the weather real
warm early in the spring. 1t is not so
