thousand Cars of Barley


thousand Cars of Barley
The old saying that "there are more
ways of choking dog than by feeding
him butter" is tritely told in dispatch
from Sacramento, which tells Of little
business move BY the officers OF the
Western Pacific that goes to show they
are not overlooking opportunities. The
dispatch says:
"Sacramento-there are tricks in all
trades. including the railroad business.
This has been aptly demonstrated in
the manner the Western Pacific grabbed
the shipment of almost 1000 cars of
barley from right beneath the nose Of
the Southern Pacific.
The trick was turned by giving q
son of Horst. the barley and hop king. q
position in the freight department. of
the Western Pacific as solicitor. The
first thing that young Horst did was to
60 to his father and land an order for
nearly 1000 cars of barley that were to
be shipped East.
"The hops from the Horst ranch, con-
stituting a tremendous tonnage, will
also be shipped over the Western Pa.
cific.
"All Of which goes to show that the
Western Pacific isn't overlooking any
points"

MINE MANAGEMENT CONDEMNED
Coroners Jury Blames Ciroux Mining
Company For Recent Disaster in Shaft

ETY. Nevada, September 16.-The
Coroner's Jury sworn to investigate the
death Of the miners who were killed in
the Giroux fire has returned two yer.
diets.
In the investigation over the bodies
OF Ell Walsh. NJ. f. Foley and Dan
Drae they found that the deceased
came to their death from the inhalation
OF smoke, gas and fire in the Giroux
shaft, that the origin of the fire il un.
known and that the Giroux Consoli
dated Mines Company has been exceed.
ingly neglected. in caring for its en-
ployes. IL was further found that the
company had failed to comply with the
State Mining Laws. providing for the
safety Of miners.
IL was found that J. J. McNulty. one
OF the miners. fell from the cage and
the jury reported that in their opinion
his body is still in the mine.
In the matter of the death Of Timothy
Gilmore, Tom Odalovich and John
Wilhelmy. it was found that they came
TO their deaths in the Alpha shaft from
the inhalation Of smoke and gas; that
they had to climb long ladder with
out proper landings. aud that @. L.
Arnold. an employe of the company,
turned water down the Giroux shaft
and thus caused gases to rise in the
Alpha shaft.
These verdicts we're returned after a
long and thorough investigation.

NEVADA CENSUS STATISTICS
Advance Sheets of Department Of
Commerce and Labor Present
Matters of Interest

The following interesting statistics as
sathered from the 18th census are from
he sdvance sheets prepared by the De-
uartment Of Commerce and Labor:
Nevada has an area of 1924 square
niles. The population in 1910 was
sl.s76, as against 1885 in 1900 and
H.s55 10 1890. 1t ranked 49th among
she States and Territories as regards
sopulation In 1910 and 50th in 1900. In
IL early days as Territory thousands
q people were attracted to Nevada by
he fabulous richness OF the Comstock
lode. This lode. perhaps the most re-
nsrksble deposit of the precious metals
discovered in historical times. has pro.
duced hundreds of millions of dollars in
spld and silver. and is still producing.
The subsequent discovery OF rich gold
snd silver mines at Tonopah and Gold.
Asld has served to place Nevada among
the great mining States of the country.
The State has bat one city having q
population Of over 10000. Reno. with
population Of TO- .S67.
Though Nevada is not important as
msnufacturipg community, the mann.
factures Of the State have shown at the
last two censuses q marked increase in
value.
In 1909 the State of Nevada had III
nanufacturing establishments operat-
Ing under the factory system, which
eave employment to an average Of 1850
persons during the year and paid s2.-
$50, 900 10 salaries aud wages. OF the
persons employed, 2257 were wage
sarners. These establishments turned
oot products to the value of gil .s87 900.
70 produce which materials costing sS,.
$4,000 were consumed. The value
added by manufacture was thus 80.
SCI. 900. which fizure best represents the
net wealth created by manufacturing
operations during the year.
In general, this table brings out the
fact that the manufacturing industries
Of Nevada as q whole showed consider
able development during the five-year
period l899-l904. and very much
greater development during the more
recent period l904-l909. During the
latter period the number OF establish
ments increased SO o per cent aId the
average number Of wage earners 1914
per cent. while the value Of products
increased 1883 per cent and the value
added by manufacture 1898 per cent
Al pointed out In the introduction. II
would be improper to infer that manu-
period 1904 1909 to the extent indicated
By these figures regarding values, since
the increase shown is certainly due, IN
part. to the increase that has taken
place In the price Of commodities.
II is a matter OF interest to note that
the percentages of increase shown for
wages. value Of products, average nun
Der of wage earners. aud other items
Gre much larger than for the number OF
establishments reported. The large
percentage of increase in the cost OF
materials was due to the amount re-
ported by an establishment engaged IN
the smelling aud refining of copper.
whicn has commenced operations since
1904. The large percentages OF increase
shown for other items are also to con-
siderable extent due to the amounts re-
ported by this establishment.

MORMON CHURCH SHOCKED
Pictures Taken and Secrets of the Tenn
pie Secured by Centiles

Salt Lake City, Sept. l6.-What is
considered a scheme to blsckmail the
Mormon church was revealed to-day by
the church authorities in the publica-
tion of a letter received by President
Joseph F. Smith, from q former resi-
dent of this city.
The letter was dated New York and
enclosed a number of photographs Of
interior views of the Mormon temple
into which precincts only faithful de-
votees are admitted.
In the letter it was stated that the
writer controlled a large number Of
photographs of the interior sittings and
scenery and before exploiting them for
public sale wished to give. the church
an opportunity to purchase and keep
them from the public.
No specific amount was asked for
their purchase.
President Smiths reply to the letter
was:
Il will make no bargain with thieves
or traffickers in stolen property"

Worlds records for stock motorcy-
cles are expected to be established
when Edwin Baker, of Indianapolis,

The event has been arranged by the

fit for Emil Weist, the local youthful
racer who met serious injury in the
Labor Day races when his machine
plunged into the fence while travelling
