SWEEPING CHANGES IN
SOUTHERN NEVADA RATES

Sweeping changes in freight rates
in southern Nevada from all parts of
the United States to all points on the
Las Vegas & Tonopah, Tonopah &
Goldfeld and Bullfrog and Goldfield
may be made by the interstate COM
merce commission, word having been
received in Reno today that the COM
mission has ordered a general in
vestigation of the rates referred to,
says the Gazette.
Recently word was received that
the commission had decided against
the petitioners, the Goldfeld Consoli-
dated Mining company and the To-
nopah-Belmont company in the rate
case on cyanide shipments, involving
a difference in charges of approx
mately 100000. Other rates ques-
toned during the last few years in
volved a total difference of possibly
another 100000, between the rates
charged and the rates requested.
Nineteen cases in all have been
filed on behalf of the mining COM
panies mentioned, the Tonopah Elk
tension company and the Goldf1eld
Merger company.
The order of the commission re-
ceived by Mr.. Leavitt today says that
all of the nineteen cases have been
merged and says that the commits
sion will make an investigation OF
the general situation as to freight
rates in southern Nevada.

Much Building In
Sight for this Fall

The lumber dealers report good
business during the past several weeks
In all parts Of the county. The deal
ers here and at Sugar City and Olney

has shown marked improvement
over last year at this time and that
there is considerable building going
on. New houses are being erected in
{ he towns and many additions to farm
homes being put up throughout the
county as well as In town.
Crop conditions are very bright and
the Indications are that there will be
more building of residences and barns

fore. Many have already made their
plans for building this fall when the

True Friendship

Somewhere In Colorado or New
Mexico is mother who thinks Of her
son as being located 10 Ordway work
ing daily at his trade. She does not
know that the dry parched sod OF a
cemetery holds his body and that her
boy will never again return to her.
Back 10 Illinois Is a man sixty years
OF age who las been separated from
this boy for fifteen years. Although
knowing Of his death was unable, on
account Of finances, to come. How
ever his love for the son still existed
and he sent s25, every cent that he
had, to save the lad from being buried
in the potter's feld. That would not
have been done, however. even had
there never been a penny sent oy Inns
father. There were sympathetic
friends 10 Ordway aud nearby towns
who would not have permitted the
burial Of this young man In any man
uer except that which was proper and
titting, for such the unfortunate lad
deserved.
Such was the funeral service over
the remains of TONY" Peters last
Friday. A service that would tend to
make the heart OF a father or mother
happy even In time OF sadness, The
sentiment here was not known by the
parent who knew Of the boys death,
and little did he think that when the
corpse was brought from La Junta to
Ordway a choir OF ten voices would
sing, a minister OF one church deliver
a funeral sermon. the minister Of at
other read scripture lesson and still
the pastor of another church offer
prayer. pail bearers escort the body

Will Quit Business, Directors De-

Government Service.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The Unit
ed States Express Company will go
out of business as soon as its affairs
are settled up. This action was de-
cided upon this afternoon at a meet
ing Of the board Of directors.
The big inroads made into the re-
ceipts of the company by the parcel
post and the reduction in rates forced
by the orders of the Interstate Com
merce Commission are the reasons for
the dissolution action
The directors decided this after
noon, with the sanction of the stock
holders. that the best interest would
be served by winding up the affairs
of the company as speedily as posi-
Bile, instead of waiting until the ex-
piration of the term. 1t will per-
| haps be a year or more before the
| final adjustment is made,
Many of the offices of the United
States Express Company will be
taken over by its rivals, according to

SHIPPERS IN n. c.
WIN RATE BATTLE

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Reliof
from the long and short haul provi-
sion Of the fourth section of the corn
merce act, in order to establish re-
duced class and commodity rates from
Ohio River crossings, St. Louis and
Memphis. to-day was granted 20
North Carolina shippers by the In
terstate Commerce Commission
The rates froH Memphis, the Com
mission states, should be established
as proportional rates applicable only
on business originating in the terri
tory west of the Mississippi River
and limited 80 as to prevent increase
Of discrimination against intermedi-
ate points OF origin.
Proposed increase in proportional
rates on tomatoes from Jacksonville,
Fla. to various points west OF the
Mississippi River on railroads OPP
Grating between these points was held
not to be justified. The carriers
sought to reduce the weight carried
from $4,000 pounds TO 10000 pounds,
and then increase the rates from 80
cents to 40 cents a crate.
The Commission ruled that condi-
lions under which passenger tickets
are sold over the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad are net unreasonable. The
rule OF the road providing that it VIII
not redeem any form of passeng@r

laid, lost or destroyed. and that re-
quests for redemption of unused pas
