REDUCTION is ASKED
IN TERMINAL RATES.

H. F. Bartine, chairman of the Ne
vada railroad commission. has re-
turned from Washington where he
appeared before the interstate COM
merce commission in the hearing on
application of transcontinental termi-
nal rates, in order to meet water
competition, while retaining the pres
emit rates to interior points.
Judge Bartine went east to repre-
sent. not only Nevada, but also Idaho
before the commission, and when he
arrived at Washington he found d
telegraphic request to represent Mon
tana also. which he did.
The hearing occupied two days last
week and representatives of a num-
Der of railroads, as well as state rail-
way commissions, addressed the COM
mission. Among the points made by
the Nevada commissioner were:
Nowhere in the world where free
dom of speech and of political action
prevail could 100000 people be
found who are so nearly unanimous
as those of the intermountain coun-
try in the feeling that the so-called
back haul clause, to which they have
been subjected for so many years, is
not merely an injustice, but a posi-
tive outrage
He continued: The fact that
this petition being filed by the final
carriers alone, that Is, those that
reach the Pacific coast terminals, and
the further fact that every vestige of
testimony furnished In this proceed
ing and in all the intermountain
cases, come from them while their
eastern connections took no interest
in the matter at all, conclusively
proves that the plea of water COM
petition at the terminals in justifica-
ton of higher rates to interior points
was misleading and without sub
stantial foundation
Especial attention was directed by
Judge Bartine to the point that abso-
lutely the only new fact brought into
the case by the commission was an
increased water tonnage for Septem-
Der, the full month after the open
ing of the Panama canal. This fact.
as indicated. lost nearly, If not all,
of its force by reason of the circum-
stance that the petition asking for
the modification of the order was filed
with the commission so days before
the month of September began. Con-
sequently, at the time of the filing

church at Cottonwood.

proved fact to snow anything SO far
as water competition is concerned.
He further showed to the COM
mission by the carriers own testi-
mony that the water tonnage for
1913 was 1900 tons less than in
1912. Consequently, If the cast had
proceeded promptly to a hearing, the
figures would have shown a falling
off. rather than an increase. in wa

The Funny Representatives

Ninety-seven congressman voted to
reduce their own salaries from 81 500
to $4,000 a few days ago-but there
were 205 in opposition, and had there
been any real danger Of this PROPOSE
ton going through, about ninety OF
the ninety-seven would have found a
speedy method Of changing their votes.
The representatives as a rule are very
much impressed with their own great
ness, and their confidential opinion is
that they are working" altogether too
cheap. A few years ago Legislators
throughout the country started in to
advocate cutting out railroad passes,
direct primaries, restricted campaign
contributions, and lot of other things
they never wanted. But the public
took up the suggestions, and so thor
oughly approved that the public ser
wants had to carry the propositions
through in order to save their jobs.
But the lesson does not seem to have
sunk home, and the congressman who
are still trying to jolly the voters with
the notion that they are genuine re-
formers, will wake up some day to the
fact that the country thoroughly APP
proves of the idea Of cut in their sal
aries-and then they are going to be
very sorry. Some Of the members will
get so mad that they will conclude
they can't afford it," and will go back
home and practice law, and if they are
lucky many OF them will get about half
of that six thousand when they have to
depend on the results Of real private
rustling.

WASHINGTON METAL
MINE YIELD IN 1913
Increase in Gold and Lead in 1913.
Decrease in Copper and
Silver

The total value of the metal mine
output of Washington in 1913 was
slightly more than 100000, de-
crease OF 6 per cent from the value of
1912, according to preliminary esti-
mates of C. NJ Gerry, of the United
States Geological Survey. This was
due in part to decreases in silver and
copper production and in part to some
what lower metal prices. An increase
of per cent gave gold output val
ued at 1904, 900, Notwithstanding the
idleness of one of the cyanide mills at
Republic. About IS per cent of the
gold output came from crude ore and
concentrates shipped, largely the form
er, and about % per cent from can
ide and amalgamation bullion.
There was decrease in silver yield
of about 81 per cent from 413,538
ounces in 1912 to about $4,000
ounces in 1918. The silver output
was evenly divided between the sill
ceous ores of Republic and the copper
ore of Chewelah. The silver content
of the latter decreased.
The copper output deceased about
9 per cent. from / ,086,010 pounds in
1912 to about $50, 900 pounds in 1913
as a result of curtailed production from
Chewelah district during the inStalla-
ton Of electric power and improve
ments to the mill.
No zinc ore was shipped from the

The movement to send the cham
pionship University Of Washington
rowing crew to take part in the big
regatta at Poughkeepsie N. Y. in June
is daily gaining impetus throughout
the state. 1t is believed that this
year, instead of Seattle financing the
trip, the burden will be assumed by
people over the entire state, for the
reason that the university represents
the entire commonwealth and will
share in the advertising that naturally
follows such participation of its young
men in a contest against the best
strength in the Eastern colleges. Last
years event amply justified the ex-
pense incurred. Already friends and
alumni of the university all over Wash
ington have been appointed to take
charge of the collection OF funds to
defray the cost OF the crews trip and
it is expected that within short time
the necessary $4,000 will be raised.

State but shipments Of lead ore were
made from Stevens county, giving an
output OF nearly 100000 pounds as
against 1877 1887 pounds in 1912.
There was little change in the out
put from the Republic district Of Ferry
county. The North Washington cyan
ide mill was not operated and conse-
quently the Republic Mines Corpora
ton produced less gold and silver than
in 1912. There were, however, greatly
increased shipments from the Ben Hur
mine. The producers were the San
Poll, Ben Hur, Knob Hill, Republic
Mines Corporation, Hope, Old Re-
public, and Quilp. The Knob Hill
Mining Co. shipped ore to British Co.
lumbia smelters and to the San Poll
mill, and was the only mining com
pany declaring dividends in the State.
The San Poll mine and mill were oper-
ated profitably and new tube mill
was added. The Republic Mines Cor
poration and the North Washington
Power & Reduction Co. were suffering
from lack of funds and siege OF re-
organization. 1t is hoped that with
electric power transmitted from Grand
Forks both mills of the district will be
operated successfully.
There was much activity in the
Chewelah district of Stevens county.
Initial shipments of copper ore we've
made from the Copper King mine,
and regular shipments of crude ore
and concentrates from the United Cop
per mine went to British Columbia.
Production was somewhat curtailed
while the mill was enlarged and cleo
trio power installed.

small town in the state will have a
chance to study advertising, salesman

made recently by Acting President
Landes. While on his recent eastern
trip Mr.. Landes made search for high
caliber man to take charge of the work
and within the next few days he will
start eliminating candidates from the
ten or more who have applied.
The work in the new course will be-
gin in September under the super
vision of Edwin A. Start, head of the
extension division. The work of the
instructor in charge will be to travel
from place to place in the state to lee
ture to classes on the subjects includ-
ed in the new commercial course.
I'VE aim to make the work of the

smaller towns and cities of the state to
benefit, as far as possible, these people
who have not the opportunity of direct
contact with the university" said
