DISCOVERED - WAY TO
WALLOP BEEF TRUST

The trial of the Chicago meat
packers before Judge Carpenter,
on indictments charging them
with killing off competition and
then boosting meat prices, has
kept the people on tip-toe expect
ancy for days and it's not ended
yet
The vegetarians are not inter-
ested in how the case goes, but
the people that eat meat are, and
they hoped that whether or not
the. packers were put behind the
bars, where is seemed they be-
longed, meat prices would be
brought to a level, where those
who liked it could sink their teeth
into a juicy steak without the
necessity of robbing a bank to
pay for the pleasure.
The packers, drought their
professional lyars, deny that they
are growing rich and fat on the
high meat prices they compel the
people to pay, but the sick looking
family pocket hood that comes
back. from the meat market tells
different story.
Necessity has often been called
the mother of invention. There
fore meat being deemed a neces-
sity, by a lot of people and the
packers prices putting it in the
luxury class, left but one avenue
open to.a hungry public.

Relief For Nevada Shippers

Relief for Nevada shippers in the
matter of trans-continental commodity
freight rates is now in sight, and there
is little doubt but what the rates on all
commodities shipped from Eastern de-
faed territory to Reno and other Me-
yada points will be in effect within the
course of three months from this time.
The above conclusion has been reached
by the members of the Nevada State
Railroad Commission and is based upon
the fact that an order has just been re-
ceived from the Interstate Commerce
Commission fixing May s, 1912, as the
T. for all parties to the case commonly
known as the Reno Terminal case to ap-
pear in Washington, d. c.. and show
cause why commodity rates should not
be forthwith put into effect between

Many married man feels the jaws OF
death are preferable to the jaws of life.
1t must be disappointing to the pessi-
mist when he fails to get the worst of
it.
In some States. when a man isn't
good for any thing else. he is sent to the
legislature.
Many a man remains in the bachelor
class because he is skeptical as to the
ability of woman to support him.
1t takes a woman who doesn't know
how to do thing to do it better than
a man who knows all about it.
OF course the bride doesn't marry the
best man at her wedding. but she
should try to make the best of the man
she marries.

SOME YARNS TOLD
ABOUT H|GH-GRADE
Schemes Worked by Miners to
Get Away With Ore Under
the Watchmen's Eyes

Wonder News: During these dull
times, while we are waiting for the
power to come along and set the wheels
of industry to turning, it is interest.
ing to listen to the yarns of the miners,
especially when they tell of schemes
worked in order to get past the guards
with loot when working in the high
grade.
One of the old-timers was recounting
his experiences the other day, and told
how his shift boss every night kept busy
hunting rich specimens, which he car.
ried into his Office on the surface. during
his trips mp and down the shaft. and
from there made away with them.
On one occasion. wanting some sup
plies, he entered the shift boss shanty,
and on the desk lay sack filed with
specimens worth about forty dollars a
pound. 81 knew what they were worth. -
said the old timer, "for | helped my.
self to half Of them. Don't you think
played fair when l divided even?"
On another occasion the big tubular
bar to which an air drill is fastened
when operating was broken. Taking
the longest of the two pieces miner
filed the hole with high-grade, plugged
it with piece of wood, taking care TO
have the plug well inside the tubes, dip

it look natural and took IL to the sur
face, passing four guards on the way,
and in their presence cursing the poor
iron OF which the bar was made, and
the carelessness of the man who broke
it. Two guards saw him shoulder it
and enter the machine shop, but they
didn't see him come out the other side
and hide the swag. to be disposed of
later.
Still another yarn is Of a man in Gold :
field. On the level where he worked
was stope so rich that the ore was
being sacked as fast as broken down,
under the eyes of the foreman. slid
down q chute TO the drift. aud immedi.
ately locked mp. This man filled sack
with waste rock. put it in the chute
about half way up, and waited for q
sack of ore to come down. He stopped
the ore and let the waste go on down.
1t was then an easy matter TO fill sample
sacks with the ore and conceal them
under his jumper. THIS was before
the days OF the change room, and he
had no difficulty IN getting off with the
loot. amounting to several thousand
dollars.

USING UNDERGROUND WATERS
Driving Artesian Wells $50 Miles
From Where Water Is Re-
quired For Consumption

IL Is a strange and unusual circum-
stance for a city to dig wells 250 miles
away to use the water for q domestic
water supply. So far as known the
only place in the world where this is
being done is in California, says the
May Popular Mechanics Magazine. Los
Angeles Is building an aqueduct 240
miles long, to bring the waters Of the
Owens river from the Sierra Nevada
range into the valley OF the San Fer
nando for irrigation and domestic use.
The story Of the underground water
resources of the Owens Valley and its
development is most interesting. Gov
ernment engineers had reported that no
subterranean supply of water existed
there. William Mulholland, the chief
engineer of the aqueduct believed diff
ferently. He saw that all the streams
flowing from the high mountain range
debouched from their canyons onto
great delta cones of alluvial debris.
Measurements showed that there was
much more water in the streams at the
point where they flowed onto these
cones than when the bases were reached.
It appeared also that the whole floor of
the valley had been raised in elevation
by the slow action of these mountain
torrents. Mulholland formed the theory
that there was a long, narrow artesian
belt along the floor of the Owens Valley
In an out-of.the-way place a well,
$50 feet deep, was driven into the sands
and gravels. A flowing well was the
result. This was in 1909. Quietly the
city's engineers began the tracing and
mapping of the artesian area, and the
city's land agents followed closely on
their heels. To-day Los Angeles owns
thousands of acres of artesian lands ad-
joining the course of the aqueduct and
has already drilled 4 wells-these being
driven in q north and south line with
the direction Of the valley and one-half
mile apart. Each has an estimated flow
of from 900. 900 to 1900. 900 gallons per
day.

Carson City, New. April s7-United
States District Judge Harrington rem
dered decision to-day in the suit
brought by the Governments against the
Golconda CATTLE Company charging the
illegal fencing of federal lands. In the
courts opinion, no intention on the
part of the Golconda Company to vic.
late the statutes was shown, and no
fines were imposed; but it was held
that certain of the company's fences.
while inclosing its own lands, did not
admit of sufficient access TO the public
domain, and the defendant company
wGs given five days in which to enlarge
the openings.
f"The defendant company has the
right to fence its own lands" said
Judge Harrington. "but it must not so
exercise this right as to prevent public
use of government lands. / find no
evidence of any intention to violate the
endeavored tn keep within the law, |
am satisfied that the openings are not
sufficient to afford reasonable access to
the land in question. Those to the
west and south are insufficient. /
therefore find the inclosure to be unlaw-
fnl and it must be abated. The defend
ants are given five days to enlarge the
openings at Tojam and Rock Greek and
at Willow Greek"

shortly before 2 o'clock in the after

guests and employees of the hotel had
been accounted for and that there hal
been no fatalities.
Many of the guests were In their
rooms when the fire was discovered.
and porter, hastily rushing through
the building. sounded the alarm. That
his efforts We're not entirely success
full was demonstrated a few minutes
later, when policeman broke into six
bed chambers and literally dragged
three blbded and choking men down
the stai-ways. The policeman himself
was driven from the building by the
dense smoke before he had covered
two of the four sleeping floors, and
II rs feared by the officers that sew
eral people were burned to death.
Practically nothing was saved from
Ahe burning hotel--the dense smoke
causing the widest confusion. On
either side OF the burning hotel was
the Fowlie hotel and the Oxford
apartment house. both of which We're
speedily cmptied of their contents.
There were many narrow escapes and
thrilling rescues.
Loss Is Heavy.
The building was valued at 100000
and the furniture at $4,000. On the
building s23,500 insurance was carried
and on the furniture $4,000. In ad-
dltion, the losses of the personal eff
fects of the guests and the proprietor
and his family will amount to approx
mately $4,000.
The Hotel Helena was for almost 20
years the leading hotel In Montana and
was rich in historic interest. The
building was five-story and base

For many years the hotel was the

Helena was the meeting place of the
partlsans of both factions.
