iWEEPING FREIGHT
REDUCTION

We have been informed by Agent
Grady that effective July, 18th the
Western Pacific will make a sweep
ing reduction in freight rates from
Salt Lake and Ogden to Elko. This
reduction amounts to over % per
cent. Comparison with the rates
given below will show what has
been done. The old rates were
first class SLAP; second class
Sl.21; third class so: fourth class
.S5: fifth class II The new rates
will be first class Sl.05; second
class SO: third class 10; fourth
class .63; fifth Llass SO. In the
past the freight rates have been
considerably higher from Salt Lake
to Elko than from San Francisco
to Elko although the distance was
only one third as great This
change goes great ways toward
equalizing the matter.

Washington, June 9,-President
Wilson's new currency bill will he
presented Immediately following the
disposition of The tariff measure.
In all probability it will be taken
up by the house while the senate
is struggling with the tariff bill
and fastened to conclusion.
The outline of Mr.. Wilson's ideas
embodied iE the measure is:
To provide plans to make avail
able for commercial purposes in
larger measures of bank reserves
by permitting such funds to be
deposited in reserve banks located
in places so as to be convenient of
access to banks in the immediate
vicinity. and distributing such
funds from one coast to the other.
To permit reserve banks to borrow
and lend to each other and to re-
discount commercial paper for
smaller banks, this commercial
paper to be of standard specified
based in actual commercial transac.
tions. To keep government funds
in reserve ranks which funds
amounting to nearly $500, 900, 900,
which would according to the pres.
lGent, be much more active thar al
present
To provide an elastic currency
by furnishing reserve banks suffic.
lent for the needs of commerce,
subject to an interest charged com.
pelling automatic contraction when
extra currency is no longer de.
marded. This measure is believed
to be one which will so relieve crop
moving conditions that there will
be no scarcity of funds in locali.
ties. This currency will be in the
shape of treasury notes secured
by depositing additional security of
reserve banks.
Such additional security to con-
sist of first lien on assets of re-
serve banks who in turn will be
protected by commercial paper of
specified class or short terms en-
dorsed by the original borrower,
the local bank and the reserve bank
and set aside as security for such
notes loaned the reserve banks

CAN VISIT CHILD
ON 'SUNSHINY'
DAYS ONLY
Odd Management for Custody Of
Little Girl Made by Court as
Parents Separate.

81 The strained marital relations of
Albert S. Gray, a pharmacist, and
Mrs. Lena Gray, sister of Alderman
James Everett, were settled in most
unusual manner Saturday. morning
when Judge Pendleton, of the Supe-
rior Court, rendered a decision al
lowing the father the custody of the
child, little golden haired girl of 3
years, for exactly two hours and a
half on two "sunshiny days" in each
month
For this privilege the father will be
required to pay to Mrs. Gray $35 per
month for eve months and $50 per
month thereafter as alimony. No d.
Vorce suit Is pending.
Not only is the father restricted to
the two and one-half hour compan-
ionship with his little daughter. but.
according to the terms of the court,
he must not take her to and from
his house in automobiles nor must
he allow her to eat anything while
she is in his custody. These specifi-
cations were in accordance with the
wishes of the mother
Child Runs to Father.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Gray took the
stand in the order named and Mr..
Gray's aged mother who testified that
she loved her grandchild, was also a
witness
Judge Pendleton added originality
to the case when he first requested
the father to take the little girl in
his arms and later the grandmother.
The child went readily to the father,
but she refused to be taken into the
arms of her grandmother. At the
close of the testimony and after the
decision Mrs. Gray broke into tears.
1t was at this point that Judge
Pendleton exhorted both the father
and the mother to accept the decision
of the court in the best manner pos
sible and abide by its rulings. He
urged Mrs. Gray to dry her tears ana
cease worrying about the child, as
-he believed the father would take
the best of care of it during the little
visits
I'm this case, S in many others,
declared Judge Perdelton, in render
ing his decision, 81 believe both par
ties are to blame, but that is neither
here nor there.
Makes Odd Provision.
81 order you, Mr.. Gray, to go twice
per month on 'sunshiny days to get
the child, and l order you further, as
well as Mrs. Gray, to have just as
few words as possible when you meet
on the occasions of these little visits.
If you both don't live strictly up to
the terms of the court l may take
the child away from both of you"
Mr.. Gray charged on the stand that
the separation had been caused by
bad feeling between his sister and
his wife. The sister, 1t was alleged
had told Mrs Gray that she was be-
meath her family. He also charged
that Mrs. -Gray's sister, Mrs. Lovett
had been too extravagant in buying
things for his child.
Mrs. Gray, in turn, charged Gray
with betting on ball games and horse
races and with playing pool. Gray
admitted that he bet on ball games
with a SIS limit, but denied ever bet
ting on horse races.
