Two Big Features

The Grand tonight presents two
notable features, one by the Vita

sanay. They are as follows:

trait-(Vita. .)-This feature is dom
mated by high standard of quality,
and is distinguished by its novelty
and genuine pathos. A strong dra-
matte story is told without the ad-
ventitious aid of burning bridges and
runaway automobiles. The Portrait

be most welcome addition to an
evenings entertainment.

Roberts May Pull
Out of the Race

One of the questions that is now
disturbing the Republican mind is
whether Ed Roberts. present con-
gressman. is going to make the race
for the primary nomination now that
Judge Harwood of Reno has made
his announcement.
Saturday when it was declared that
Milton NJ. Detch of Goldheld would
be candidate for the Republican
nomination for congress, Roberts
wired to this city that if Detch hled
that his (Robert's) petition was to
be withdrawn, but his advice gave
no instruction as to what was to be
done if another party filed. So when
Detch withdrew and Harwood's name
went on Roberts friends let his re-
main.
lust what action Roberts will now
take is problematical But it is safe
to say that if he figured that Detch
would beat him and he did not care
to immediate himself because OF that,
he will now retire in favor of Har-
wood who is believed to be much
stronger man than Detch.

Commission Decides Case Between
Railroad and Mining Company

The Appeal is in receipt of the
opinion and order in the case of the
Mason Valley Mines company
against the Nevada Copper Belt
Railroad company, decided July p,
last. The case is one involving the
switching charges made by the Ne
vada Copper Belt Railroad between
Wabuska and the Thompson smelter.
Considerable quantities of ore and
merchandise reach Wabuska over the
Southern Pacific line and there is no
way Of getting this freight to the
smelter except over short portion
of the line of the Nevada Copper
Belt railroad.
This is essentially a switching SER
vice and its decision involved a full
consideration of the rules which are
generally applied in determining
what are just and fair switching
charges.
The railroad company had fixed a
rate of $5 per car for the service.
The complainant, the Mason Valley
Mines company, as we'll as a number
of other shippers, complained Of this
rate as being excessive. and alleged
that the charge should be no more
than $3.50 per car. In part, the rea-
son given for the claim that 81. so
would be fair charge was that the
company and the smelter company
had So,ne few wears 30 eptera1 into
a switching contract in which that
rate was agreed upon. The commits

garded as certain that the American
embassies, legations and consulates

SO far as can be learned the Unit

to mediate in the European tang1e.

proposals having already been DEM
onstrated. The disposition of Pres
ident Wilson is to make no move in
diplomacy, at least until the situa-
ton develops more clearly.

Dear old Dad is very angry, toos
and he had to be persuaded to take
Jack into the store-even as clerk.
And the worst of it all is that not

Dick lost his temper while talking
with me about it, and consequently
he lost his sense of justice.

as to let the girl rope him into mar

ieve that she deliberately roped him
into marriage! You know you are

weakly.
The idea of him saying this made
me absolutely furious. ooh, of course
not! She should have either given
herself to him without marriage or
else denied her love and what she
thought was her chance of happiness,
so that when the time came for him
to make an a1-around fool of him
self he could get off from paying the
penalty he so richly deserves:
