P r @ SP Y

Elko depends for it's prosperity very largely upon
the surrounding country. What helps the rancher, helps
Eiko. The great increase in the price of cattle in the last
few years, has had largely to do with the position that
Eko and Elko County hold in a financial way in the state.
This increased cost of livestock has naturally re-
suited in higher retail prices of dressed meats, and while
these prices may seem high here, they have not advanced in
proportion to the price of cattle on foot.
Elko people want only the best, and this we are
trying hard to give them. Our meats are not dressed on
the outside and shipped i'll under ice. This is all done
here, and we use only't the latest and the best cattle and
other live stock we can bny. We are in position to give
you quality, service and price, and we certainly APP
preciate your business. Will you not, today. call up the
meat department, ask for Mr.. Helfrich, tell him what you
want, and you may be sure of getting just the cuts that
you prefer.

LOOP AT ROCK CREEK
is NOT 70 BE MOVED
Public Utilities Commission Decides
in Favor of Capital Trac-
tion Company.

The public utilities commission has de-
clded that it will not order the Capital
( Traction Company to discontinue the use
of the loop at the Calvert Street bridge
over Rock creek. or to remove the loop
to point farther out Connecticut ave
nue. extended. on the Chevy Chase car
line. The commission has further decided
that the service on the Chevy Chase line
and the lines of the Capital Traction
Company. of which the Calvert street
loop is the terminus. is ample for the
present traffic requirements, and no
changes will be ordered for the imme-
diate future.
Representative Martin B. Madden of
Illinois, in a letter directed TO Col. Ches-
ter Harding, chairman of the public
utilities commission. asked that the street
railway company be required 10 discon-
tinue the use of the loop and to run more
cars through in both directions between
the city and Chevy Chase lake or some
other point on the Chevy Chase line.
Representative Madden also asked that
the street railway companies be required
to make different arrangements in regard
to transfer points, etc. In his letter to
Col. Harding the Illinois representative
said:
WASHINGTON should lie considered a
sufficiently important city to justify good
street car service, and this line ttIe Cap
ltal Traction Company ll!:et does not
give II, with all due respect TO the con-
clusions reached by the commission.
Representative Madden in his letter to
Col. Harding intimates that he purposes
to continue his efforts to compel the op-
Grafton Of more through cars Oh the
Chevy chaseU street line. for the rea-
SON that, in his opinion, two or three
transfers on a line seven miles long en-
tail wholly unnecessary hardship and
