Want McGrath -Zbyszko in New Lon
 don,

Negotiations have been entered into with J. 1T. Herman, Zbyszko's manager, with a view to having the giant Pole perform against some good heavy weight in New London. The choice may fall on Jack McGrath, as he has made so strong a showing against both Zbyszko and Roller, and because he is probably better known here than any other heavyweight srappler ex- cept Zbyszko, Gotch and HaCken- schmidt. The programme at Norwich was witnessed by crowded hall and this should be duplicated here.

REDUCED PASSENGER RATES

II the railraod commission sue
ceeds in lowering passenger fares
in this state its members will de-
serve the lasting gratitude of ev-
cry citizen. For years those who
travelled on the Southern Pacific
were compelled 10 pay five cents a
mile while the people of California
paid three cents for the same dis
lance.
3 A few years ago the S. P. re-
duced the rate in this state to four
cents which is one cent or more
above what the people of Califor-
MIA are paying. Why should our
people pay more to travel on the
railroads than those of California.
Is it because it is just or is it be.
cause the Southern Pacific had the
state by the throat for many years
and shook its people down for all
the traffic would bear?
Isn't it about time that Nevad a
asserts itself and demands fair
treatment at the hands Of railroad
and other corporations? The rail-
road commission has so far done
good work for the state and we
hope it will force a reduction in
passenger fares. When that is &C
complished the commission should
shake up the express compraines.

BUSINESS IMPROVING

Dun's Review which is an accept
ed authority on the condition Of
business in this country states that
railroad earnings for the first three
weeks of September showed an &C
tual gain of IL per cent over last
year and while 1910 was not the
best year in history ;foy the rail-
roads it was a very satisfactory
one. 1t is a fact that there is
plenty Of money in the country
ready to enter legitimate business
because it fears Longer to rush
nto the illegitimate combines.
Along these general lines it may
be encouraging to read what Dun's
Review says Of the situation. 1t is
summed up as follows:
"1n spite Of war, industrial dis
putcs and other influences tending
to impair confidence and retard en-
terpri Sc, the movement of trade
continues large, and although still
below producing capacity the re-
cent gradual improvement Is main
tanned.
The increased bank slearings and
reduced number Of business fail
ures are clearly indicative Of thia.
