DON'T see where that could
amount to billion of actual
currency" demonstrated Ralph
n Eldridge.
"No?" replied Kelvin. III will show
you. Twelve months ago Henry
Breed quietly issued from his central
organization, the United Food Compa-
ny of New Jersey, a general order that
all bread and cereal foodstuffs must
be sold for spot cash only. The re-
ceipts from these sales were not to be
deposited In banks. but were TO be
shipped in currency to the general Of
fees of his company. Do you know
what this meant? Breed began as an
obscure miller. He formed combina-
ton after combination of Touring mills
until, twenty years after he started
that task. he practically owned every
gristmill and every grain elevator In
the United States, accomplishing that
through an elaborate system of rebat-
ing on wheat and flour shipments. Ev-
cry farmer who raised wheat raised 1t
to sell to Henry Breed at prices set
by Breed, for there was no other buy
er. His next step was TO establish
the immense bakery system which
now bears his name. Flour was set
at such price that families could not
afford to buy 1t and that opposing
bakeries were forced out of business.
Now in all the centers Of population
he has his immense mechanical bread
furnaces, from which his bread trains
rush before daylight to distributing
stations in all the small towns, while
his remarkable automobile service sup
plies the cities. BY concentration OF
manufacture he claims to have been or
actual benefit to the country. furnish
ing q better grade of bread at lower
price than was ever known before ana
making more profit on 1t than individ-
ual bakeries ever did.
Breed pays everything by check, by
pothecating some of his immense stock
holdings and thus turning them into
cash. He supplies nearly 90.OOO,OOO
people with every ounce of bread they
eat, with every spoonful Of cereal food

Kelvin had been In the market more

one commodity in this country which
must invariably be paid for in cash is

PASSENGER RATES
WILL Be REDUCED

The Railroad Commissioners continue
to keep busy. There is lot of work
piled up i'll the Office, but there is con-
siderable going out The commission
has just issued an order in the case of

III effect new class rate, the rate to
take effect on August The reduction
in class rates is approximately Is per
cent.
This new rate and finding of the COM
mssioners came about on complaint OF
the merchants OF Reno and i'll the south
ern section. They filed the protest and
the results are as quoted above. This
one ruling means the saving of great
deal of money to the merchants and the
consumers i'll southern Nevada and also
the return freights to the west from the
southern section.
The commission has also cited the
Southern Pacific company to appear III
this city on July II, when the reason
ableness Of passenger rates through the
State of Nevada as established by the
railroad will be gone over. There will
probably be an order emanate from this
hearing which will bring about further
reduction in the passenger rates i'll this
State.
The fact that this is based OF earning
capacity and the amount of travel gives
the commission facts and figures to hand
the railroad officials upon such investi-
cations. The reductions ordered at
other times, which are now i'll effect,
have come about by such orders as are
now issued by the commission. The
commission is one of the most efficient
in the Union, and its work is resulting

new FERRY BOATS
FOR THE S. P. co.

The latest addition to the Southern
Pacific company's fleet of ferry steamers,
The Thoroughfare, will be placed in
operation on San Francisco bay about
the latter part of August or the first part
of September The Thoroughfare is now
being constructed in the Oakland ship
wards of the Southern Pacific company
and is about II per cent completed at
the present date.
The Thoroughfare, which is practic-
ally duplicate of the ferry steamer Mel
rose, will be placed on the Oakland
Creek route between the San Francisco
ferry and the foot of Broadway, Oak
lond. 1t is a wooden steamer with a
net tonnage of l,677 tons and a gross
be a double end, side wheel ferry
steamer, particularly adapted for the
handling of automobiles and teams.
The Thoroughfare will have a capacity
of $40 / orse power, and will be equip
ped with two inclined engines, tandem
compound, two Scotch dryback boilers
and will burn fuel oil. The estimated
cost of this new ferry steamer is $40, 600.
Another new boat now nearing COM
pletion i'll the Oakland shipyards of the
Southern Pacific company is the Chero-
kee, a stern wheel freight steamer of
wood construction. 1t is similar to the
steamer fruto of the Southern Pacific
company which is used i'll transporting
fruits and vegetables from San Joaquin
and Sacramento river points to Sacra-
mento where it is transferred on to cars
and shipped to eastern markets. The
Cherokee will perform about the same
service as that performed by the Fruto
and will be placed i'll commission about
the last OF August. Its cost will be
nearly $50, 900 The vessel is lS9 feet
in length, 40 feet breadth. will draw
seven and one-half feet of water and has
a capacity of 525 horse power The en-
gnes and boilers for both the Thor
oughfare and Cherokee were constructed
in the shops of the Southern Pacific
company at Sacramento.

DRY FARMING IS
PROVING SUCCESS

S. H. Voltaire, who some time ago
acquired tract of land just east of town
and is now cultivating large portion OF
the land BY the so-called dry farming
method, is very much pleased with the
results so far obtained He states that
all the crops that he planted this season
are doing fine without irrigation, depend
ing entirely on what rain falls and the
moisture of the ground. Potatoes are
up from eight to ten inches high, squash
vines are about ready to run and a trail
set of alfalfa hay is three inches high
and gives every evidence of maturing.
Other vegetables that he has planted are
looking we'll and he believes that his
project is going to be grand success
On account OF the land not being fenced,
Mr.. Voltare says he has had consider
able trouble with rabbits in his garden,
but he sa, this will be overcome. when
the land is fenced
In speaking OF dry farming i'll general,
MIR. Voltaire states that If the seed rec
commended Ivy the government is used,
he believes that dry farming will be
made auccess in many sections through
out the State. -Winnemucca Star.

INDUSTRIAL MINERALS
ARE NOW IN DEMAND

One of these DAYS the Nevada pros
pectors will begin to realize there is
more money in the apparent trifies OF
the geological domain than is to be
found in chasing the illusion of high
grade gold ore. With an unlimited
deposit of nitre in Humboldt county,
oceans of borax across the line in Inyo
county, California, salt in endless pro-
fusion all over the State. tungsten in
White Pine county, gypsum in most OF
the nothern counties, fire clay i'll noun
tans and inexhaustibe quantities of
barvtes right here in Esmeralda county,
there is no reason why the citizens of
Nevada should develop cold feet. In
dustrial minerals, after the lapse OF years
will be found to be among the most valu-
able assets of Nevada. They will bring
about the establishing of factories EN-
ploying thousands of skilled workmen,
whose labors, in turn, will furnish to
the farmers, stock raiser and fruit grower
10 extend their investment in this direc-
ton The natural trend OF industrial
development is toward the West. The
Fast has been settled, and the demand
for raw materials comes from this part Of
the nation Development means the con-
sumption OF steel, iron, copper, cement
and all forms Of clay products. The pro
ducers who are located closest to the
consumer will be the ones to win the
ultimate reward. Other ores III endless
profusion are to be found within easy
reach of the chief centers OF Nevada and
with the encouragement of railroads seek
ing freight to keep their rolling stock
occupied there is no excuse for avoiding
the humber things of the mineral world.
