able group of mining claims. adjoining
the Nevada Douglas on the south, and
is now engaged in doing the holding
work on same. He did not locate pat
ented ground.
There are few people in Nevada who
are so narrow-minded that they imagine
the balance of the human race is conf
posed of suckers. Such people are un-
questionably deficient in the grey mat
ter, commonly called brain.
Charles w. Montague, salesman for
the Rothschlds Mercantile Company,
calls on the ranchers of Smith Valley
once a week.
Harold Burbridge, foreman at the Ne
vada- Douglas, made business trip to
Mason this week.
Nevada has few citizens who would
sell YOU horse, and if they could make
their getaway, would take it away the
next day. This brand of citizen is not
likely to pull his neighbor out of fit,
unless he can appropriate it to his own
use.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elbert spent several
days at the Nevada Douglas this week.

Yerington Central Copper Company,

all his rights by advertising out" the
delinquent partners. Unless this is
done the latter have equal rights in the
claims. THE TIMES is making special

ton and who has the confidence of buy
ers and sellers.
1t is said that Mr.. Gum thoroughly
realizes the advantages of Mason Valley
in scientific farming, and is figuring on
going into il extensively, provided he
can buy right. 1t is a matter of general
belief that many of the faumers of this
section are not up-to-date in their meth
ods, and a man who is ready and willing
to spend considerable money to farm on
scientific lines cannot help but be ben
eft to the entire section.

"Snm" Grimmett Gets New Trial.

The state supreme court yesterday
handed down an opinion reversing the
Judgment and conviction of Slim"
Grimmett found guilty of killing Ed
Baker, a year ago at Nina
The opinion was written by Senior
Justice Sweeney and concurred in by
Chief Justice Norcross and Junior JUS
tice Talbot The district court at Gold
field was reversed by the decision.
The point involved by the case is that
a person attacked need not retreat to a
wall to defend himself, but may stand
his ground, as the defendant in this case
was proven to have done.

COPPER BELT RAILROAD NEWS.
First Annual Dinner Given to En-
ployees Last Saturday Evening.

Thirty-nine people sat down to the
table at Hotel Mason last Saturday ev-
ening when the first annual dinner was
rendered the employees of the Copper
Belt Railroad 1t was a very pleasant
gathering, and after the good things OF
the table were slowed away where they
would do the most good, numerous
toasts were responded to.
Instead of the stereotyped way of hav-
ing a POSTMASTER who announced the
toast and called upon the individual to
answer, each person was given toast,
the same being concealed i'll walnut
shell at his plate.
Henry /. Moore, the attorney for the
road, sat at the head of the table and
aided greatly in the success of the oc-
casion.

The steamship Rainier arrived at Oak
land last Tuesday loaded with 5000 ties
for the Copper Belt. These are eN-
pected to arrive about the 10th and will
be sufficient to finish the road into
Smith Valley.
There is some objection on the part OF
residents of Smith Valley to the name
of Smithvale. which has been selected
for the terminus of the road in the val
ley. 1t is probable that the same VIII
be changed to Hudson.

general manager of the Nevada Copper
Belt Road, vice Duncan MacNichie, re-
signed. The latter still retains his CON
nection with the construction company

COTTON SYNDICATE ACTS
Sends Out Circulars Making Plan
for S25 Advance Clear.

The syndicate headed by S. II. p. Pell 6;
Co. which recently offered TO aid the cotton
farmers of the South to hold their cotton
for higher prices by advancing them s25
a bale on the purchase price. yesterday
began the mailing Of 5000 circulars TO the
farmers, making clear the purpose OF the
plan and setting forth its advantages to the
cotton growers.
II is pointed out in this connection that
while others may lend more than S25 a
bale on cotton. they expect the growers to
pay all the insurance and storage charges,
whereas the syndicate charges 10 interest
on the s25 paid and gives the owner OF the
cotton the privilege of waiting until Janu-
airy /. 1918, u he so desires, to select a mar
ket to sell on. The entire cost to the
planter of carrying the cotton is 81 a bale
regardless Of the length of time held. while
II would cost him nearly s. a bale to carry
his cotton for six months under the ordi-
nary method At the end the circular says;
We do not pretend to know what the
market is going to do. We only hope, on
your account, that II will do better than II
has been doing. and we do believe higher
prices will prevail after the world is sure
that you have reduced acreage and that
another freak year of large yield per acre
is unlikely. Inc success OF the plan Is de-
pendent wholly upon the farmer himself,
and not upon us. We are only rccognlz ng
the fact that you seem to want to hold
cotton. aud are endeavoring to provide the
means whereby YOU can do with the
greatest economy, and where YOU can, II
you desire. practically carry your cotton
into another crop and still own cotton at
a less cost than YOU could produce new
crop The only insurance We can offer you
is that IT will not 90 Lelow s25 per bale, or
at any rate we are taking that risk. We
are insuring YOU however. that IL the mar
ket does advance you can select your own
date for closing out tho trade and take the
benefit of the advance.

SHIPPERS WIN CASE
Commerce Commission Takes
Jurisdiction Over Transportation

Washington. Dec. THE Interstate Com
mercc Commission to-day declared its as
sumption of jurisdiction over the practices
of a railroad or railroads constituting a
through route affecting the right of the
shipper 10 safe and speedy transportation
OF his freight"
The decision was announced by Commits
sioner Lane i'm what is known as the car
shortage case. in which the Missouri and
Illinois Coal Company complained OF the
embargo established last winter by the llli-
nois Central Railroad against the move
ment of coal from mines on its lines In
Illinois to points in Missouri.
The commission holds that the tempo
rary confscatlon by carriers of the cars Of
other railroads and the placing of en-
bargoes against cars being sent OF of the
lines of the owners are alike unlawful. and
the railroads are expected to make such
rules for the return of cars as will termi-
nate such abuses
Under this decision all the car inter-
change rules OF the American Railway AS
sociation become subject TO the regulations
of the commission. giving it absolute turis-
diction over transportation, as well as over
the charges on all freight.
