THE CHRONIC GRUMBLER

His name is legion. He is ubi-
quitous. He and his breed have
lived since the world began and
will continue to live 10 the end
of time.
A half dozen specimens of the
grumbling fraternity stood in front
of the Palm this morning and be-
walled the fact that the Carnival
Company were permitted to hold
forth On the streets of Elko. One
man said "it was a jay town or it
would not permit it." Another
said mo other town in the United
States would allow it," That man
may possess the wisdom of Solo,
mon but he is short on Information.
The facts are that nearly all the
cities in the east and middle west
have their Carnivals and street
fairs now and then. There are over
800 Carnival Companies operating
in the United States. There are
only a few cities in America
where they are barred and then
only until new civic administra-
tion comes into power when the old
fogys are relegated to the "has
been" class. They crybaby talk
about circusses, shows and Carni-
val Companies taking away more
money than they leave is extreme
ly puerile. They are not the only
ones that do that. The railroad
companies take away more money
than they leave, your reverend
Uncle Sam does likewise in the post
office Department and in nearly
every branch of the public service.
Does that mean that we should
dispense with the railroads and
governmental institutions? Let us
rise above our surrounding and rel
egate our grumbling propensities
to the forgotten past. Let us rea-
lize that we live in the present and
let US look forward to the future
with "peace on earth and good will
towards men" as our counsellor
and guide and our grumbling will
cease, our vision will be clearer
and we will all become what God
intended we should be manly men
not grumblers.

THE RAILROAD COM
y MISSION OF NEVADA
Orders Reductions In Freight
Rates of the Southern Pacific
Company's Lines in Nevada to
Take Effect July 1st, 1913


The Railroad Commission, on
June 18, 1913. entered an order re-
ducing lntra-state class freight
rates on the Southern Pacific Com
pany's system in Nevada, the order
being based on a reconsideration
of Cases 76 and 139 in which orders
had already been entered, the val
idity of which have been pending
in the United States Circuit Court,
District of Nevada.
The opinion gives a history of
the two cases under reconsideration
and states that the final conclus-
ions have been reached on the
basis of the testimony submitted in
the original hearings, in the hear
ings before the United States Cir
cult Court, and at the hearing on
reconsideration which was held
June 5, 1918. 1t is further set
forth, that in the judgment of the
commission, the rates heretofore
prescribed in cases rs and 139,
need substantial modification in
view of changed conditions.
The order prescribes a new scale
of class rates to govern the move
menl CT freight, and vacates the
former order of the commission as
soon as the new rates are put into
full force and effe ct.
On the basis of the tonnage
moving, the reduction will amount
to approximately 25 per cent when
compared with the present rates in
effect and this order prescribes
approximately 10 per cent greater
a reduction than the orders in the
former cases which were vacated.
ThskSuew rates prescribed by
tine Commission will mean a great
saving to shippers of freight in the
State of Nevada, and it effects re-
ductions in the class rates between
practically every point in the State
of Nevada upon the main line and
branches of the Southern Pacific
Company, and from mainline
Southern Pacific points to points
on the Tonopab & Goldfeld Rail-
road which will be automatically
: reduced by the combination of the
rates applying to Nina plus the
rates established by the Tonopah
& Goldfeld Railroad to points
south; further, the order will effect
reductions to points located on the
Nevada Northern Railway. Nevada
Central Railroad and the Eureka
Nevada Railway, on account of the
reduction in rates to the Southern
Pacific Company's functions with
those roads.
These rates are to become effec-
tive July 1st, 1918, and aside
from the great saving Of freight
charges on the present movement
it will undoubtedly mean that ship
pers in the State of Nevada will be
able to greatly increase their busi-
ness on account of these lower
charges for the transportation of
their commodities.

These are the conclusions of the
Misses Francis Leach Is and Mary

who are walking from Denver to
San Francisco via the old Midland
trail. They are not attempting to
make any speed record having left
Denver May, IL. They left Grand

effort is merely preliminary to a

months and then attempt to walk

able to- make our eXpenes by selling
postcards of ourselves. When we
| reach the Pacific coast, we expect
to rest few months, and then
start back to the Atlantic. After
that we will feel able to tackle
Europe and Asia"
The girls finished the first leg of
their long journey-Denver to
Grand Junction, Colo, a distance of
ATS miles, in three weeks time and
arrived in the later city fresh and
unwearied. Although both girls
have always gone armed, each car
rying a small revolver, they declare
they have been subjected to insult

to walk on rapidly but they pur-

let us pass but they became ar
rogant at our fear and when they
used insulting language we drew
the revolvers. Two shots apiece
at the ground near their feet and
they made Mercury ashamed of

"On the whole however, we could

In the July American Magazine,
