DEMO MAIL ROUTE

On July / the stage route running
between Winnemucca and Andrews
Oregon, was discontinued, owing to
the fact that the old contract had ex-
pired. 1t is claimed by the depart.
ment at Washington that, in answer
I, call for bids, but one was sub.
mitted, and that for $4,000 for the
four years, which was rejected as be-
ing too high. However, that is only
a matter Of opinion at Washington.
Local people familiar with the situa-
tion can see wnere the bidder may not
have been SO far out of the way, af-
ter all. There is an agitation on
foot, with prospect Of its being sue
cessful, of the government raising
parcels post limit to 100 pounds. In
that event it is considered probable
that every pound of wool produced in
the DEMO section, as well as all the
ore and merchandise, will be shipped
by mail.
Tuesday night Secretary Randolph,
OF the Chamber of Commerce, for
warded to the Nevada congressional
delegation at Washington, by wire, a
petition signed by Winnemucca busi-
ness men, asking that the department
restore the mail route.
With his characteristic energy,
Representative Roberts was on hand
al the postoffice department when it
opened for business yesterday morn
ing and took the matter up with the
proper officials. Later in the day he
wired the local newspapers to the eff
feet that the department had agreed
to readvertise for bids, provided as
surance could be given that reason
able figure for the work will be sub
mitted. This information was turned
over to Secretarv Randolph, who last
night wired Representative Roberts
as follows:
'Hon. e. e. Roberts House of Rep
resentatives, Washington, D. c.
Your wires today to Humboldt Star
and Silver State referred to us. We
feel sure that il the department will
readvertise for carrying mail, parcels
post and perishables that it can get
reasonable bids, that is flat bid for
first and second class and by the pound
for parcels post ard perishables. You
realize that the expense of carrying
mails in this northern district is
higher than in the interior and south
ern portions of Nevada, on account of
heavy SHOWS The cost of haul to
Denio from here on big freight teams
is $1.70 per hundred. This will give
you some idea of what it should be
worth to transport mail and parcels
post by stage or automobiles, but am
satisfied it can be handled from here
cheaper and can give better service
than from any other point, as people
living north all buy their supplies
here. No bids for this route were ask
ed for in Winnemueea, but the bust
ness men in general feel that the gov
ment should pay what it is worth
to carry mails on these Star routes
and will assist in every possible man
ner to secure reasonable bids. Hum

WfSTFRN AND SOUTHERN
FORM TRAFFIC AGRftMfNl

A private dispatch was received in
this city from New York yesterday,
says the San Francisco Examiner, EN-
bodying the positive statement that
the Southern Pacific company had
concluded an arrangement with the
Western Pacific, whereby the former
road secures the right of joint occu
pancy of the Western Pacific tracks
from Wells to Winnemucea uring the
San Francisco exposition, and indefi
Gitely thereafter until some new ar
rangement is concluded. Between the
two points named in the state of Ne
vada the s. p. and w. p tracks paral
lie! one another for a distance of l85
miles. The dispatch states that the
w. p. is to receive in return for this
privilege remuneration ON regular
mileage basis for all freight and pas
senger trains passing over the w. P.
tracks.
In local railroad circles it was be-
lieved yesterday that this getting
together of the two roads means far
more for both of them than a mere
right accorded the S. p. to use the
w. p. line, virtually as double
track, in a portion of the territory
served by each, where little freight
originates. 1t is regarded as the
first step in permitting the W. p. to
use sidings and spur tracks of the
IS p. at competitive freight eenters
here in California under some gen.
eral traffic arrangement. The Rail-
road commission has intimated on
several occasions that some such ar
rangement should be made between
