LIVELY COMPETITION Is ON.
Great Lakes to the Gulf Traffic a Sign
for Railway War.

for Railway War.
New York, June 28.-The New York
Centra1's traffic alliance with the Lou
isville & Nashville, by which the for
mer gains three tideWater terminals at
the gulf to one controlled by the Illi-
nois Central, promises some lively COM
petition for traffic between the lakes
and the gulf which may force the ILL
nOis Central to carry through its re-
ported negotiations for purchases o.
control of the Cotton Belt or ST. Louis
Southwestern.
Control of the Cotton Belt would
give the Illinois Central a direct line
from Chicago to within 100 miles OF
the gulf, or entrance into Galveston
over lines with which the Cotton Belt
now has traffic contracts. By construc-
ton of approximately 100 miles OF new
line the Cotton Belt could be extended
to Port Arthur and with little extra
mileage it could get into Galveston
over its own tracks. Not only in the
aforementioned connection is the New
York charlottesville and Nashville
alliance likely to precipitate some
changes in the railroad field, but 1t also
is reasonable to believe will involve
some readjustment Of railroad relations
on the South Atlantic seaboard. In as
much as the Pittsburg & Lake Erie
has a 99-year traffic contract with the
Western Maryland and the Louisville
& Nashville is owned by the Atlantic
Coast line, it appears to pave the way
for a close triple alliance between the
Atlantic Coast line, the Western Mary
land and the Pittsburg & Lake Erie
New York Central system.
It is believed that the friendly rela-
lions now existing between the New
York Central and Coast line interests
evidenced by the recent traffic alliance
with the Louisville line will bring
about still closer relations. It Is also
believed that the Western Maryland
will eventually become an integral part
Of the New York Central system.

REFUSE TO GIVE UP DATA.
santa Fe and Espee Cause Trouble to
Frisco Commission.


San Francisco, Cal, June 23.-COn-
siderable reluctance is being shown by
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
companies IN complying with the de-
mandS Of the railroad commissioners
for data concerning the traffic of those
roads, by means of which the matter
of rates may be regulated intelligently
and equitably.
In response to the call by the com
missioners for a schedule of the joint
electric road and the Santa Fe, H. P.
Anewalt, assistant general freight
agent Of the Santa. Fe, and S. L. Nap
thaly, representing the Oakland and
Antioch, appeared before the meeting
of the railroad commissioners and suo-
mitted what purported to be such a
Joint freight rate schedule. It turned
out, however, to be but a statement
showing the sums of freight rates be-
tween local points on the two systems,
and did not give the through rates.
which are less than those sums. The
failure to furnish the through rates
is attributed to the fine hand of the
Southern Pacific road, with the rates
of which it was desired to compare
the others. The Southern Pacific, as
the commissioners pointed out, seems
to be putting the screws down at
certain points," and Attorney Max
Thelen was directed to investigate this
matter.
Company Plea Discredited.
The schedule Of joint rates of the
Oakland and Antioch and the Santa Fe
is desired by the commissioners for
the purpose of comparing them with
those Of the Southern Pacific, whereby
may be fixed the charges for moving
hay and other products of Ignacio val
ley. The representatives Of the two
companies were told to appear at a
meeting of the mission on Monday,
July 10, when the subject will be dis
cusSed.

This Is Estimate on Limited Trains
This Season.
San Bernardino, Cal. June 23.-One
hundred thousand passengers carried
on the Santa Fe limited this season is
the estimate made by officials of she
system in regard to the immense traf-
nc from the east during the past few
months of the regular season for the
influx of fasteners to coast points.
Approximately $4,000 have been
hauled to the Grand Canyon and TIE
records of the trains handling the
west bound traffic will swell the total
of passengers carried this year to
enormous proportions.
The tremendous growth Of the Santa

with an average passenger list of 40.
Now it runs as high as 125 PASSENGERS

| married life. Moulton claimed to be versed quite deeply in law and had many peculiar ideas along that line, and he was involved not a little as the defendant in criminal proceedings here and served time in the local jail. His last escapade in Kenosha, Wis, as previously told about ten days ago, landed him in state prison
 Some time after their marriage Mrs. Moulton left her husband because of his actions and later went to live with him. Finally they came to the parting of the ways and separated. Moulton tried in many ways to get possession of his wife'S money and tried to have checks on her account honored, with out result. After having several law suits over a boat which he purchased and used on the river quite a little, he went to New Haven and claimed to be studying law at the university. He was arrested there for passing worth less checks. but was allowed to settle his cases by paying costs Claiming his home as Stonington at that time. he was soon in trouble here, securing S2o0 from G. w. Carroll, on the rep resentation that he would turn over q certain amount of stocks to him which Mrs. Moulton had. He did five months in jail for that after beng brought back from Boston.
 This jail term completed his living hereabouts, and he had not been heard about until his recent western esca- pade.
 This romantic courtship and mar riage and the afterlife brought them into wide notoriety here, which was revived by the announcement that he had been committed to prison, and again now by the announcement of her divorce from him last March.

 Mir. Parks favorite sport is horse hack ride every morning and five mile walk every day and though he says he has lost five pounds he never felt better in his life. At times the sea was very rough. but made very little impression on the boat, so the trip was enjoyable.

A BEAUTIFUL MIDDLE

This morning County Treasurer
Patterson rendered the Ormsby
County money to the State, the
sum being $d,870.29. This
money as the State apportionnent
collected under a rate of 60 cents
as provided by the statutes of
1911. The money was taken to
the treasurer but no clearance
papers were gwen the county, as
there Ia dispute over the rate.
1t appears that a later or con-
hicting law was passed in which
rate Of Cd cents was added, this
coming from a complication Of the
school law. Nine counties in the
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1911-12-21

state fixed the rate and collected
at 60 cents. Seven counties fixed
rate of Cd ents, while one
county collected a portion at 60
and the balance at 81 cents leav-
ing an elegant muddle all along
the line. After the tax rate had
been fixed by the different boards
of assessors an opinion from the
Acknowledgement sets the rate at
I'd cents. This is the condition
the affairs are in.
There is a question as to what
the counties and state can or will
do. 1t is a sure thing that the
counties that have collected from
the taxpayers on the 60 cent basis
cannot re-collect for the past year.
1t is possible that TIE State may
Sue the counties for a refund on
the shortage as advised by the
Acknowledgement. ., s
The entire trouble seems to have
been from the fact that the rate
WAS not properly defined under the
law. as there is an apparent con-
flict in the statutes as it appears in
the code.
In case of suit all nine counties
will be made defendants while one
county has split in it's rate that
has made a discrimination on it's
taxes with the people. A ppeal.
