ORDER NEVADA NORTHERN FREIGHT
AND PASSENGER RATES REDUCED
PASSENGER FARES MANY MERCHANDISE
AFFECTED BY RULING OF THE STATE RAILROAD
sION-oRDERED BECOME EFFECTIVE DECEMBER
FIRST. But RAILROAD ALLOWED DAYS.

I A reduction in freight and passen-
ger rates on the Nevada Northern
railroad, to take effect December
first, has been ordered by the Ne
vada State Railroad Commission,
word to that effect having been re-
ceiyed yesterday morning by L. G..
Cannon. vice president and general
manager of the Nevada Northern.
The cut in commodity rates will
be from 5 to Is cents per 100
pounds, and the passenger rate un-
der the new schedule will be $3.50
between Ely and Cobre, a reduction
of $1.70 from the present fare of
$500. This rate applies between
Ely, East Ely and McGill, which are
classed as common points in the ad-
justment of fares at this end of the
road, while Cobre and Shafter are
common points at the other end.
it is nineteen miles from Shafter to
Cobre, but to avoid discrimination
the rate is the same to Shafter, the
junction point with the Wesern Pa
cific, as it is to Cobre, the junction
with the Southern Pacific.
Thirty days are allowed a railroad
in which to adjust its tariffs and it
is not likely the new rates will be
put into effect much before the first
of the year.
A reduction of 2219 per cent was
made in the class rates about a year
ago, but the commodity rates were
not changed atthat time. Glass rates
govern all freight that a regularly
listed tariff charge. while the COM
modify rates apply to all other article
of freight, these generally being
car load lots. There are ten classes
of commodity rates, and some of the
articles affected by the new rate will
be canned goods, sugar, canned milk,
fruits and vegetables, -four, soap, ma
chinery. beer, grain, emigrant NOV
ables, etc.
The first hearing on the matter of
freight and passenger charges was
held at Carson City, July 10th, and
the matter has since been under dis
cussion and consideration by the
railroad commission, which board has
recently reached a decision in the
matter. Both state and interstate
business is affected by the reduction.

COUNTY PAYS INDEX BILL
AFTER FOUR YEARS DELAY

After four years of delay and liti-
cation. the bill of Gael S. Hoag, for
the index system installed In the Of
flee of the county recorder, was ap-
proved and ordered paid, by the
county commissioners, Wednesday
morning. The amount of the bill
was $9,306.10, and payment of 1t
has been withheld since the summer
of 1908.
Mr.. Hoag was one of several bid
ders to prepare an index system. for
the county recorders office. and was
awarded the contract. 1t was no
easy nor short task, but upon COM
pletion of the work. an old and
practically obsolete system of index
ing had been relegated and a system
was available whereby IL is easy TO
find a complete record of title. of
any parcel of property in White Pine
county. II is a time saver and there
fore a money saver. and any doeu-
ment or record of the many on file,
can be found easily and without con-
fusion. The old system had been in
use for twenty years, or ever since
the burning of the court house at
Hamilton.
Upon completion of the system,
four years and more ago, Mr.. Hoag
presented his bill, but the commits
soners In office at that time, were
prevented paying 1t, by injunction
process, brought by Frank X. Muir
ply, tax payer of the county. Soon
after instituting the injunction pro-
eeedings, Mr.. Murphy died, but this
incident did not end the opposition
to payment of the account, as Mrs
Murphy continued the suit in an en-
deavor to obtain permanent In
junction. On one occasion, an at
torney who set up the claim that he
was acting for Mrs. Murphy, dismiss
ed the suit, but she recusitated 1t
again. and the case has since been on
the court docket
Final action was brought about by
Walker & Haight, attorneys for Mrs
Murphy, who on Tuesday morning
moved for a dismissal. In its last
presentation for payment, the DIN
was accompanied by several legal op-
inions as to the powers of the com
missioners, who authorized the draw
ing of warrant, for the full amout
of Se,306.fO.
In his suit for injunction Murphy
cited several instances of alleged
technical loop-holes for leagal CON
troyersey. and remained steadfast In
his contention against the payment
OF the amount. Mrs. Murphy mas
made strong endeavor to carry out
her husbands wishes, but the ex-
nense of continuing the fight has De-
come too heavy.

CAN'T HODOO GENIAL JOHN.

The prize "13" story of the year,
and one which besides being true
knocks cold the old superstition of
that number being unlucky, is told
by John A. Gill, travelling agent of
the traffic department of the South
ern Pacific, who who has his head
quarters in Reno.
On November 13 Mr.. Gill left PAIL
sade and after leaving the city he
found his car contained Is passen-
gers, says the Reno Gazette.
The train made 13 stops, including
water tanks, and 1t being a mixed
train it was discovered that the first
freight car ahead of the coach was
No. 13, carrying merchandise for
way stations. The next car was
"Skidoo 23" loaded with bran for
Eureka. Conductor Hawkins picked
up car of hay at Smmit and cover
ed the same by way-bill 13. The
Wells Fargo express box, 1t was
found, contained just 13 packages.
The train arrived at Eureka at 4:13
p. m, just 13 minutes ahead of
schedule. Incidentally Mr.. Gill esti-
mates he gave away or smoked about
13 cigars in the course of the trip.
For fear there may be some who
would not believe the story, Mr.. Gill
refers any doubters to e. j. Morgan
of the Dupont Powder company or
j. S. Linney, international revenue
collector of California. both of whom
We're on the train and verified the
above findings. They are both con-
verted to the belief that when they
run across the number one and three
it is a sign of prosperity.

For the first time in the history OF
the institution the University of Ne
vada has seen fit to send a stock
judging team to the International
Stock show held in Chicago the frs
week in December. This sending OF
a team is one of the many signs ol
progress made by the institution.
Professor Gordon II. True, head OF
the department, deserves great credit
for under his direction the agricul-
tural apartment has grown from one
student in 1908, and a very small
showing of livestock, to an enroll
ment leading any other department
of the college and one of the finest
live stock exhibitions in the west
The college at the present time can
boast of show herds of Holstein,
Jersey, Guernsey, Shorthorn, Here
ford and Angus cattle; Berkshire
and Poland China Hogs; Shropshire,
Hampshire, Southdown, Cheviot and
Merino sheep

mento in September, winning about
100000 in cash and 10 medals
and ribbons, besides silver cup, won
in milking contest.
The members of the stock judging
team that will represent Nevada are
Lloyd Patrick, Reno, '13; Joe Will
son, Reno. '13; Sol Cazier. Wells,
ii; Leland Hylton, Elko, ID, and

This team will have to compete
against about fifty other teams from
different colleges in placing four
classes OF horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs, four animals in each class, in
first, second, third and fourth places,
and good reasons to back their plac-
ing. Later the animals will be placed
by expert judges and the team re-
ports compared. The team coming

COLE VISITS
ELY DISTRICT
COPPER MAGNATE ON INSPEC-
TION TRIP OF GIROUX. DENIES
RUMORS OF MERGER WITH
COPPERMINES COMPANY.

Thomas F. Cole, whose word goes
with the Giroux destinies, was a visi-
tor in the district the past week,
making his headquarters at the Step
toe hotel East Ely. Mr. Ryan ar
rived Tuesday evening, registering
from Duluth. Michigan, and leaving
here, Friday morning. The presence
in the district of the copper magnate,
instantly set alive all sorts of prosper
ity rumors, and revived the story
that the Cole-Ryan interests were
about to take over the Gunn-Thomp-
son properties, and that the Giroux
was going to do things on a scale that
would mean expansion and big busi-
Steptoe valley. Mr.. Cole has had to
deny the truth of these rumors, stat
ing that he was here on a regular
trip of inspection, that he found con-
ditions at the Giroux going along
very satisfactorily under the manage
ment of Mr.. Mills, with whom he ex-
pressed himself as well satisfied, and
that by the first of December the
mine would in all probability be
sending its minimum amount of ore
to McGill, according to the terms of
the contract with the Nevada Con.
While Mr.. Cole had to deny some
things in which there is keen local
interest, he spoke in a very hopeful
manner of the outlook for copper
and for Ely. which he looks to be
one of the worlds great copper
camps and leader in production.
Meantime. Giroux, which has had
all sorts of obstacles and discourage
ments to contend with, is stronger in
the game than at any time In it's his
tory, and the company will rush de-
work with the idea of
large results in the way of produc-
tion at later period. All big en-
terprises take time, and Giroux is
tending toward a prosperous and
permanent future. 1t is not the COM
pany's Intention to waste any time
nor money on the old concentrator,
and the erection of new and
modern plant, will depend on the
outcome of the development work.

trial dispute and strike in the dis
trict, Mr. Ryan did not minee mat
ters in stating his views concerning
the shutting down of the pumps at
the Giroux shaft, thereby flooding
the old workings along the Alpha
contact He did not recall an Incl
dent in his mining experience, where
had been allowed to fiill
with water, by the arbitrary shutting
down of the pumps. Nothing has yet
been done by the company towards
pumping out the flooded portions of
the mines, which will undoubtedly be
closed Indefinitely.
Regarding the local industrial situ-
alton, he did not foresee any imme-
date further trouble. Neither is he

ditions as influenced by the coming
change of administration. although
finances my be temporarily unsettled.
