". N. COMPILING
TONNAGE REPORT

The Winnemucca Northern Railroad
port of the country between Winnie
mucca and the Jordan Valley This
report will not be guess, nor one
tabulated from information gathered
by hearsay or correspondence. Every
stockman, rancher, merchant, banker
and others are interested personally
and the exact figures obtained from
the ones who know. This report, when
completed will be revelation not
only to people who live right here
but to wholesalers and others who are
interested in knowing of the vast
amount of merchandise shipped into
this seemingly undeveloped country
and the tons upon tons of wool, cattle
sheep and other products shipped out
by wagon and driven out on the hoof.
Nowhere on this continent is there
transportation that can equal the
amount of tonnage in and out that is
handled and produced by the settlers
of this vast region.
When railroad facilities have been
provided the production will be ten
times the present showing in very
few years. A number of large inter
ests are fully pursuaded of this fact.
Utah people have purchased thous
ands of acres of land yet many miles
from a railroad and will spend many
thousands of dollars in watering and
improving it. They fully realize that
the coming of the railroad is only
question of a very short time. The
country demands it. The railroads
cannot ignore the cry for transporta-
tion and will be obliged to build to
protect the productive territory that
lies between Winnemucca and the
Idaho line.

Michigan Primaries Show Decidedly
Ebbing Tide Bull Moosers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Charles F.
Scott, of Kansas, director of the Pub
licity Bureau at Republican head
quarters in Chicago, was in New York
to confer with Chairman Hilles in re-
gard to campaign matters throughout
the west. Mr.. Scott pointed to the
failure of the third party to hold its
own in the Michigan primaries as in
dicative of the constant weakening
which this party is suffering through
the northwest as the campaign pro-
crosses. He said:
"The vote in the Michigan primar-
les, where the Prohibition party had a
bigger vote than the third term par
ty, is significant of the situation all
through that section of the country,
and indicates clearly that the Bull
Moose tide is ebbing and that the
fight there, as in other sections OF the
country, is solely between Taft and
Wilson.
"There has been more Roosevelt
sentiment in Illinois, perhaps, than in
any of the central states, but all our
reports show that it is rapidly subsid-
ing, due in a large measure to the ac-
tion of the Moosers in insisting upon
third ticket. Governor Deneen s
progressive record is so strong that
his friends deeply resent the efforts to
defeat MIN, when no reason can be
given for such action except his refus-
al to submit to the dictation of the
Big Boss. ~

LITTLE DAMAGE BY FIRE
TO NORTHWESTERN FORESTS

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 10.-With
the danger season past, the northwest
went through the summer with practi-
cally no fire losses in the rich timber
areas, according to report made by
Judge Albert l.. Flewelling, of Spo-
kane, president of the Western For
estry and Conservation association.
The fact that rainfall this season has
been heavy is not the only reason for
the good tidings, according to Judge
Flewelling, who attributes also the
small doss to the following three fac
tors:
First, perfection of the patrol system
and organization of timber protective
associations; second, adoption by the
railroads of oil fuel, doing away with
spark danger; third, effective results
of systematic campaign of educa-
tion. Against cost of IL to Is cents
per acre in 1910, the year of the big
fires, and cents in 1911, the cost per
acres for patrol service this year has
been between 2 and cents.

PACIFIC
ON PAYING BASIS

Denver and Rio Grande IS gross
June 30 last were practically the same
as these for 1911, according to the an
nual report published in New York
Saturday, but because of increased
operating expenses and fixed charges,
the surplus fir dividends amounted to
only 2.3 per cent on the $40, 10000
preferred stock, compared with five
per cent earned in 1911.
Denver and Rio Grande guarantees
the interest on the bonds of the West
ern Pacific, the Goulds' new line to
the Pacific coast. In view of the
company's decrease in earnings the
following statement by President
Jeffries regarding the position of the
Western Pacific and the recently
authorized $25000,0O0 twenty year
seven per cent income bond issue is of
special interest:
''This line (the Western Pacific)
was placed on an operating basis July
|, 1910 although not then fully com
pleted and for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1912, its earnings, expenses,
etc. were as follows
:" Operating revenue, $5,52s ,532; !;
operating expenses, $4,229,s ,s64; net
/. 1911, although not then fully com
side operations deficit, 36,161; total
net revenue, $992, 500; taxes, $1s5, ,233; !;
operating income, 1907 ,273; net debts
to income in accordance with regula-
tions of the interstate commerce com
mission, $243,05s; surplus, $564,214'
" Although it was hoped that the
gross revenue might approximate &c.
100000 during the first year, the ac-
tual revenues of $5,25s 900 can scarce
ly be regarded as disappointing, in
view of the difficulties attendant on
placing in operation new main line
of railway of the length of the West
ern Pacific and developing the traffic
thereon. The earnings from traffic
for July, 1912, are estimated at $685.
900, compared with actual earnings of
sl22,0 for the corresponding month
year ago. There are evidences of
growth and development at numerous
points along the line, especially in the
Sierra Nevada range of mountains. A
number of communities have been es-
tablished with encouraging indica :
tions of increasing and permanent con-
tributions to traffic and earnings and
efforts are being made to stimulate
this local development and thus in
time insure a valuable local traffic,
both passenger and freight -

Wisconsin Primaries.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 10.-The see
ond choice ballot provided by the 1911
legislature was enforced in the fall
priamries in Wisconsin. Under the
law the voter can cast a first choice
vote for candidates for nomination
for all county, state, legislative and
congressional officers.
Owing to the fact that Senator La
Toilette has joined forces with the
regular Republicans working for the
election of President Taft, the Repub
licans of Wisconsin declare that there
is no longer any question of which
way the election in this state will turn
out in November.

Branch Doesn't Fear Progressives

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. TO-
II. p Branch, one of the leading Re-
pubheans of Indiana, returned from
Chicago today. Mr.. Branch, who has
been going over the situation through
out the state for tn committee, says:
s'It is a mistaken idea to think In
diana is a hotbed of Rooseveltism. OF
the ninety-two Republican county
chairmen only nine have gone over to
the progressives, and the Republicans
stand splendid chance of winning the
state in November. Even the popu-
larity of Governor Marshall, the
Democratic presidential nominee
will not be able to prevent Taft vie
tory in Indiana.

Brief Story of Crime.

On the evening of Frida January
6, last year, j. +. TRAINER and Nimrod
Uric held up saloon at Inlay, killing
Jean Quilici and his wife. They were
captured the next day at an old house
on the Blakeslee ranch. a few miles
from the scene of the crime and
brought to Winnemucca and landed in
the county Jail.
Within "a hours Uric made full
confession, duplicating TRAINER and
himself as the guilty parties. He was
tried first, found guilty of murder and
sentenced to be hanged, but took an
appeal and his case is still before the
Suprem Court.
TRAINER secured a change of venue
to Washoe county, and upon his trial
was found guilty and sentenced to life
imprisonment By the decision of the
Supreme Court, he will now be obliged
to stand trial on the second indict-
ment, charging him with the murder
of Mrs Quilici.
Had he been tried on this indictment
in the first place, he would no doubt
have been found guilty, been hanged,
and the county saved an additional ex-
pense of thousands of dollars.

Bull Moose Underhanded Tricks

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Speaking
of the Kansas situation, where the
question of whether Roosevelt electors
shall remain on the Republican ticket
is hot one, Chairman Scott, of the
Publicity Bureau, said today:
"In Kansas the state committee
adopted a resolution declaring that
these electors should withdraw from
the Republican ticket and be placed
on an Independent column, where they
belong. This action was overruled by
the party council so that the situation
still remains as it has been. We have
no doubt, however, that the courts be-
fore whom the question will now go
will sustain the Republican conten-
ton. 1t is incredible that the courts
would hold that Roosevelt electors
should be permitted to go on an official
ballot under the name and emblem of
the Republican party. The only thing
tn eaction of the party council has
done has been to demonstrate that the
third term managers are willing to
resort to any means, fair or foul, to
carry their point.
''In Missouri and Iowa, as well as
the states further west, the situation
former campaigns, and all the reports
coming into the Chicago headquarters
are optimistic in the highest degree.
"The Republicans, particularly the
old-time Republicans, represented con-
spicuously by the Union soldier ele-
ment, are getting into the fight with
zeal and enthusiasm, as are the Repub-
lican newspapers throughout the
northwest -
