COL. PLACE PRE-
diets Taft VICTORY

Col. f. r. Place, general manager of
the Winnemucca Northern railroad, re-
turned this noon from a trip to Salt
Lake City and other points, accompan-
led by his family.
Upon his return Col. Place found a
week s accumulation of mail, which in.
cluded letters from all sections of the
country. While all were of business
nature, nearly every one mentioned
politics, all being to the same eff
feet-that sentiment is rapidly crvs-
tallizing in President Taft's favor.
While originally Roosevelt sup
porter, when defeated at Chicago for
the nomination Col. Place stuck by
his party and is now firmly convinced
that President Taft's election is as
sured. He states that the question,
{" Why should Republicans, at this
stage of the campaign, support either
Roosevelt or Wilson?D proves a
stumper, with the result that daily
thousands of old-line Republicans are
returning to their party.

AN UNFAILING EVIDENCE
OF COUNTAsY'S PROSPERITY

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-Evi-
dence of the prosperity of the western
states is furnished by figures made
known by the Southern Pacific COM
pany as to the number of freight cars
loaded this season. The average load
ing on the lines of this company in
California is greater by $500 cars per
month over the same period Last year,
or about 200 ears per day.
Railroads have been heavily press
ed for rolling stock because of this
sudden demand for service. Only the
hearty cooperation on the part of the
shippers mas made it possible to keep
all the traffic moving. The large fruit
firms have instructed their agents not
to delay or divert shipments unneces-
sarily and have issued circulars to this
effect, for the principal difficulty has
arisen from movements in the eastern
states.
The Pacific Fruit Express, according
to an announcement made by President
Sproule of the Southern Pacific COM
pany has ordered 1000 more refriger-
ator cars of the latest decsign. This
number, together with the lot of 1000
only recently ordered, WI. bring up
this line s total equipment to 13,l00
ears, representing an investment of
ever $40 100000 all to be available on
July 1st of next year, in time for the
1913 fruit movement.
The new cars are designed especially

TO AGAIN TRY THE
NORTHWEST PASSAGE

Assisted by King Haakon and the
Queen Of Norway, Christian Leden, the
Norwegian explorer, will attempt to
make the Northwest passage in May
next through the straits between Vic
toria island and King William IL nd
He will be accompanied by several
German scientists.
Leden will make special study of
the Equimaux of these regions. He
will attempt the passage from the
western entrance, trveling from the
mouth of the Mackenzie river to the
Arctic ocean by Norwegian whaleboat
as far as Stapyiton bay, continuing
the journey as far as possible in Es-
quimaux kayaks, then by dog teams.
The party will be prepared for an abb
senee of three years.
Mr.. Leden is a graduate of Berlin
university and has made previous ex-
plorations in Greenland ON behalf of
the Danish and Norwegian govern
ments. His reason for making the
passage from west to east is that Cap
tain Amundsen, his famous country
man, who was the first man to reach
the south pole, is also the onlv man
who has made the Northwest passage
but travelling from east to west Abou'
one hundred and thiry other exped'
tons have unsuccessfully made the
same attempt. Among these was the
famous Franklin expedition, consisting
Of l29 men, every one of whom per

intend to subsist almost entirely on
what they shoot, The expedition will

ment, and as the principal object is

cure specimens of Equimaux manufac-
ture for the museums at Berlin and

the country.--New York Herald.

action looking to reductions of from 90

on coal from the fields in Utah and
Wyoming to all Nevada points. The
Nevada Railroad Commission has re-
quested the Southern Pacific CON-

similar distances to points in Idaho.
Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyom,
ing and Nebraska, the commission is

the rates actually in effect for SINH
lar distances in other states.
Beginning with Tecoma station, Ne
vada, on the Southern Pacific line,
which is 304 miles this side of Rock
Springs, Wyoming, the commission
asks that the freight rate on coal be
reduced from $40 to $3.50 per ton.
The same reduction is asked for
Cobre, Wells, Elko, Palisade and Bat.
tie Mountain.
For Winnemucca a reduction from
$4.75 to $3.50 per ton is requested.
Winnemucca is 55S miles from Rock
Springs.
Beginning at Inlay and continuing
through Lovelock and Hazen to Reno,
reduction from $500 to $4.00 per
ton is requested. Reno is 733 miles
along the line.

MANY CASES BE.
FORE GRAND JURY

The regular fall term of the Dis
trict Court opened this morning, with
Judge Ducker on the bench.
Mrs. A. r. Shewalter was appointed
official court reporter up to the time
the cases are set.
A roll call of the grand jury showed

ter, Gerhard Miller, d. w. Cathcart,
Charles g. Smith, w. r. Moler.
On account of serious illness in his
family, an order was entered excus-
ing d. w. Cathcart for the term.
Judge Ducker charged the jury,
calling special attention to the fact
that under the law the county com.
missioners had appointed an account.
ant to examine the books of the sew.
eral county officers, and that the
statute made it his duty to present
such report for the consideration of the
jury, which would be done.
All persons held to the present grand
jury were present in court, with the
exception of G. E. Weikel, charged
with assault with deadly weapon,
out on bond. r. Gilray, his attorney,
was instructed by Judge Ducker to
have his client put in an appearance
forthwith, under penalty of having his
bond forfeited. Following is a list of
