after a four days visit of all the prin-

A big meeting OF the citizens ol
Twin Falls was held several days ago

great length, representative citizens
putting forward many arguments to
show that the construction of such a
line was not only needed for the
development Of vast area of terri

quickly become a paying investmen!

Special emphasis was laid upon the

The Railroad Commissioners are
putting in overtime preparing briefs
on the several cases that have been
submitted to the Courts. The brief
in the Tonopah- -Goldheld lumber case
is about finished, while several 9th
ers are in the hands OF the Commits
sioners. This Office is kept on the
hustle, as complaints come in regu-
larly and are receiving attention.
Some very interesting data is to be
found at the Railroad Commission Of
fce If anyone is interested in the
number of CARS loaded at any sta
ton III Nevada it can be found at the
office The number of cars unloaded
may also be found. The tonnage on
freights of all kinds is Oh file The
railroads under the law are compelled
to furnish the Commission with such
data. The railroads that are making
mony are to be found on the right
side of the ledger, while those that
have lost money on their investment
are also enumerated and the amount.
1t is on such figures that reductions
are made and freight rates classified.
The advancement of such a road
as the San Pedro is shown. During
the time of the big washout along this
line it was in the red column. The
losses ran into hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Since the rebuilding OF
the road and the resumption of traf-

steady increase in freight ard passen

There was a coach filled with In

had all been to the circus. For the
past month the Indians of this sec

for circus day. They enjoy this class
of entertainments better than any
other thing the white man pulls off.
From all accounts the circus was well
patronized by the red men and the
sons and daughters. 1t is estimated
that over 1000 Indians were within
the tented show. They will be drift

Interesting Data to be Found at

winning of the back-haul fight b.
Nevada's Commissioners was prob
ably the greatest victory i'll its his
tory. This alone more than saves
the salaries of the Commission and II
is proposition that sticks for all
times. The. day of the old back

The Commissioners are anxiously
awaiting decision from the Inter
state Commerce Commission relative
to the commodity rates. There Is
every reason to believe that a victory
will be returned in this case, which is
now considered the most important
before the Commission 1t required
just such data as is on hand in the
office to make this fight along sensi-
Bile and conservative lines.
When the Nevada Railroad Com
mission was established the people
looked upon it as place for poll
ticians who needed a job. 1t has
turned out to be the biggest money
getter in the entire state equipment
and one that as the years advance
will bring more returns to the peo
pie. A favorable decision for the
Commission is matter of dollars
and cents with the taxpayers and peo-
pie Some very large savings have
already been made to the people and
more are in sight. Nevada's Com
mission is regarded as the most eff
cient on this coast and considerable
of its data and argument is being
used in other cases that are pending
before the Interstate Commission.
