4 GREAT VICTORY

Railroad Commission of Nevada has
yet won" was the comment made
last evening by Chairman Bartine
of the Railroad Commission in COM
menting upon the action of the
Supreme Court of the United
States in sustaining the ruling of
the Interstate Commission and
knocking out the order of the Com
MERGE Court.
The fight is a victory for the
Railroad Commission of Nevada for
that body has worked long and we'll
in fighting against the unjust dis
elimination in rates against the
people of the inter-mountaiu state
and especially the people of Ne
vada.
The contention of the Nevada
Commission in the start of the bat
tie was that the people of Nevada
should not be charged a higher
rate than that charged to the Pa
cifc coast people at the Sacramento
terminus.
At the time the Railroad Com
mission Of Nevada took up the
fight, the Spokane case was pend
ing and vas meeting with unsatis-
factory rulings. The Nevada Com
mission worked for months in pre-
paration and entered the fight with
tabulatures and with documentary
proof of their contentious of such
a nature that the members of the
Interstate Commission were amazed
and listened intently and carefully
studied the charges made. The
Nevada contention was almost
wholly and solely against the South
ern Pacific but all railroads enter
ing the western territory we're
made the defendants. Thirteen of
railroads applied to the Interstate
Commission to be exempted from
the hearing and ruling but this the
Commission refused but gave a
modification in what is known as
the Fourth Section orders which
was divided in two parts, n affect
ing Spokane and the other Reno
and Phoenix. This held that no rail-
road should charge no more to the
mountain districts than to the
coast; a z per cent charge was al
lowed from Chicago to the noun
tiin points and a higher rate from
the Atlantic seaboard.
Investigation by tabulation of
the Nevada Commission showed
that Is per cent of the freight be-
ing brought to Nevada came from
Chicago and the Western points
and about 10 per cent from the
Atlantic ports. This made an aver
age excess charge on all freight
to Reno Of about 70 per cent
which vas a burden unjust and
hard to carry.
The freight on first class goods
from New York or Chicago to Sac
ramento was SO. The goods coming
to Reno we're charged the rats 20
Sacramento plus $l.29, the charge
for hauling same back to Reno
from Sacramento, causing the same
goods to cost the Reno merchants
$1.29 more than they cost the Sac
ramento merchant. By the recent
decision the same goods can be laid
down in Reno for $2.90 per hundred
weight being q saving of 1.39 over
the old rate.
This ruling tabe1 the throttle
hold from the throat of the Nevada
jobber and allows him to compete
with the Coast merchant.
1t will mean the building up of
wholesale houses in Reno WHO will
secure their goods in eastern
markets and deliver them to the

Defective Sand or Gravel Mainly Re-
sporsibIe For Poor Results.
Extensive experiments are being
conducted at the College Of Engineer
ing OF the University of Wisconsin to
find a simpler means of making con-
crete water tight. Results OF great
Importance to contractors, engineers
and farmers who have to do with con-
crete construction are said to have
been obtained already, and still more
important ones are expected.
The eXperimenters have found that
good results are obtained if the con-
crete remains in the mixer from two
to three minutes when dry materials
are employed. For cases where the
sand and gravel or stone are damp a
considerably longer time is required
Therefore the use Of wet sand should
be avoided il possible. The expert
ments showed that mixtures consisting
Of one part of cement. Que and half
parts Of GAINESVILLE sand of the torpe-
do grade and three parts of Janesvilie
gravel when mixed to wet con-
sistency, are impervious to water
when subjected to a pressure of forty
pounds per square inch Mixtures as
lean as one part of cement to six
parts Of gravel "a graded mixturel
have been made impervious at high
pressures by using care in proportion
!. ing the amount of water and in mixing
the batch. The specimens used in
making these tests are cylindrical in
form and so made that the faces Of
the cylinders. which are thirteen and
one-h half inches In diameter, are ex-
posed to the predetermined water pres
sure The thickness Of the concrete
through which the water must pass
can be varied from four to eighteen

/ be made.
I The Importance of these experiments
will be more sufficiently appreciated
when it is understood that a large pro
| portion of the trouble arising from
poor concrete is due to the use Of de
fective sand or gravel.

Mllady's S
Mirror
The Buttermiik Beauty Cure.


When Marie Antoinette and her la
dies rolled up the sleeves Of their flow
cred nuslins and played with churns
and cream bowls in the dairy of the
Petit Trianon the buttermilk craze was
at its height. 1t was almost a fetish
in the hands of the beauties of the
time, for they regarded its powers as
almost supernatural. Unguents for
the face as we'll as the potions in
which they indulged were probably
responsible for the lovely compilations
which made poets compose odes to the
bloom OF their cheeks and painters al
most implore on their knees that the
disdainful beauties should relent so
far as to have their charms immortal
lied. In baked buttermilk one Of the
strongholds Of the complexion was
said to lie. In few days it worked
wonders, while perseverance In Its use
would preserve the skin smooth and
soft as rose leaf.
The sour milk prophet of today errs
In diluting the buttermilk insud1cient-
". In the genuine old recipes Of the
past the proportions were gill Of but
termilk to pint Of fresh milk. This
was poured into Jar with fitted lid
and placed before the open range dur
ing the whole Of day Ell NE
By night the milk had turned to the
consistency Of clotted cream, in which
state it was poured from a height from
one vessel to another until BY some
magical means the contents had gone
back once more to the smoothness Of
fresh milk. It was then sweetened
with cane sugar and inclosed finally
in stone bottle, corked down tightly
and placed before the fire, but not too
near, for five or six hours. At first
baked buttermilk does not always ap-
pear particularly pleasing, the mere
fact that It is distinctly sour making
1t an acquired taste. However, if It
were not acid 1t was not considered to
have been perfectly made, while il 1t
effervesced when the bottle was open
ed it formed not only a most refresh
ing drink, particularly when well iced,
but was thought to be particularly eff
cacious for Improving the complexion.
