WESTERN PACIFIC MAY
REACH RAILROAD VALLEY

The latest report about the Rail-
road Valley survey which was made
three years ago is to the effect that
it has been acquired by the Western
Pacific and will be used as a means
of reaching southern California as a
direct competitor of the Clark line
via Salt Lake.
The Western Pacific is credited
with having negotiated an operating
contract with the Nevada Northern
better known as the Guggenheim
road running from Cobre, or the
Central Pacific, to Ely and surround
ing mines. The Western Pacific
crosses the Northern at Shafter and
the acquisition of the route would
give the Gould line a sweeping ad-
vestage over all competitors. SAYS the
Tonopah Bonanza. in a recent rail-
road story of prophetic vision.
The Railroad Valley survey was
made originally in the interest of the
Santa Fe and Borax Smith. The lat
ter owned and still control the Ton
Iopah & Tidewater railroad beginning
at Rhyollte and ending at Ludlow,
where it connects with the Santa Re.
Between Cuprite and Ryolite the
Goldield- Bullfrog line, owned by the
ronopah 4 Goldfield railroad, makes
the connection that would put the
Western Pacific into southern Cali
fornia by constructing the gap which
engineers estimates say could be fill
ed in for $500. 900.
When George Wingfeld took over
the Willow Springs mines wiseaeres
ourmised something would be doing
before long as it is not the most APP
proved policy for mining or any 9TH
er companies to pay out a large per-
centage of their earnings to freight
ers or transportation companies.
Then the action of the Railroad Val
ley Saline company proceeding with
the expenditure of thousands of dol
lars for the purpose of developing the
rich farm land under their control
led to the suspicion that the men be-
hind these projects had some reason
for believing there was something
more than a remote possibility of Sc
curing a railroad through that eoun-
try.
During the recent trouble OF BoraX
Smith il is said that he was found
perfectly willing to let others share
his railroad interests in Nevada and
that he aequiesced in the plans of
the Western Pacific to take over the
survey and also help pay the bonds
of the Tidewater which are guaran-
.teed by Smith by furnishing traffic
to pay for operating that stretch of
track along the edge of Death Valley.

COLLEGE PROFESSORS SAY
Slang ADDS "SPICE"

Chicago, August 13.-Charles =
Comiskey. owner of the Chicago AM
orleans. likes baseball reports best
when they are written in plain Eng
lish, while professors at the Univers
ity of Chicago deplore the possibility
of the elimination of slang from the
accounts of games. These unexpected
attitudes were learned today in a
vote being taken by a local new@-
paper to determine just how the fol-
lowers of the national pastime want
the game in detail.
81 am in favor of clean, plain Eng.
lish story of a baseball game said
Comiskey What readers want to
know is who won the game and how
/ ii was won. When these facts are
covered up with a lot of useless
words, the reader is apt to grow til
ed"
II think it would be pretty tame to
report baseball in plain, ordinary
English" said Professor Nathaniel
Butler. There is a species of humor
on the sporting page which is enjoy
able. We want the picturesque in the
reports that the writer shows de-
feet when it is impossible for the
layman to understand him"
Several professors at the, university
declared their preference for stories
sprinkled with slang.
