Freight traffic on the Western
Pacific was resumed Thursday, and
yesterday there was 1886 freight
trains moving both east and west

ade of the Feather river canyon on
account of the many slides follow
ing the heavy rains in California,
there accumulated more than 5000
cars of freight on the line.
In the Salt Lake yards thera
were over 500 cars Of freight and
in the yards of all the division
points between Salt Lake and Por-
tola, the entrance to the Feather

NO MORE so GENT PIECES

According to the treasury de-
partment the half dollars of our
daddies, a fixture of our currency
from time immemorial is in dis
favor. None have been coined the
past year, as those on hand amply
supplied the small demand. One
reason given is that the SO cent
piece is confused with the 25 cent
coin.
Considering the decided differ
ence in size this does not seem to
account for the change. Possibly
the preference for small coin is an
unconscious mental outgrowth of
the struggle against the high cost of
living.
Small units of money may have
some tendency toward economy. A
traveller recently returning from
France where currency is based on
the franc of about 20 cents, said
that the size of the unit SO affect
ed her that she felt much less in
cllned to spend FIVE franc than one
dollar. with a nice clean franc in
pocket | feel almost as if it
were a dollar at home," she said.
An article of clothing for SO francs
would seem prohibitive but 10 dol
lars would have seemed very reas-
Enable.
An abundance of small coins and
bills saves much waiting for change.
The people who deal with trsdes-
men at the door often find them
unable to make change and the
housewife never gets too many
dollar bills and small coins.
Many small services must be paid
for out of the pocket. Every
iraVeler knows the advantage Of a
pocket full Of coins in meeting
with the clamor for tips.
The mark in Germany, the shill.
ing in England the Ira in Italy, the
franc in France, coins varying not
more than five cents from our
quarter. are the very backbone of
daily commerce in Europe. Our
rs cent pieces seem to fall into line
with these as the normal unit of
small change. and the half dollar
as needless as, the old two
cent piece. Elk change.

and Portola and especially in the
vicinity of Winnemucca all of the
passing sidings of the railroad were
illed with westbobnd freight.
From San Francisco to the western
entrance of the Feather river can.
yon al of the freight yards were
blockaded with traffic.
The movement of trains became
so heavy yesterday that the West
ern Pacific borrowed motive power
from the Denver & Rio Grande.
Owing to the soft condition of the
road bed through the canyon
freight trains run at reduced
speed. A large force of trackmen
are still in the canyon putting the
tracks in shape so that the freight
md passenger business of the road
may be handled on schedule time.
Passenger service between San
Francisco and Salt Lake will not
be resumed over the Western Paci.
fc until Tuesday afternoon. This
tentative date has been set upon
advices received from the engineers
in charge of the rebuilding of the
section of road bed affected by the
slides and storms. 1t is not thought
by passenger officials that passen-
ger traffic will be resumed until
Thursday. In the meantime all
through passenger traffic will be
diverted owe to the Southern Pa

AN THRUST BILL IS
VIRTUALLY FINISHED

Tie subcommittee of the Senate IN
terstate Commerce Committee, which
has been working for weeks on the anti
trust bill, after sitting throughout the
day Friday, has the bill! almost entirely
shaped
1t will be reported to the main COM
mittee by the middle OF the coming
week. That committee is expected to
approve it,
President Wilson has been kept ad-
vised of the work of the subcommittee,
and he has given his approval to tie
bill. which is a far-reachinE one.
The chief points covered by the bill.
as il stands, are the interstate trade
commission. interlockins directoratcs,
holding companies ami capitalization.
Tho proposed pricc-fiHing feature will
not br IN it.
Whether to put in 4 provision for the
exclusion of labor Organizations and
farmers organizations from the olera-
ton of the sherman law Is still under
consideration. The question of whether
to provide for refe-uaCc 20 the inter-
state trade commission of court decrees
relating to rcorganizations of combina-
lions is one that involves fine points of
constitute Dnality and il has been re-
fcrred to subcommittee of the sub
committee for consideration and report.
The proposed interstate trade com
mission consists of five members. The
bureau of Corporations is abolished,
and the Commissioner of Corporations
leSislated out Of office. The commits
sion is given broad powers. The gen
eral plan OF the bill is to prohibit in
terlockinS dircctorates and holding
companies when they interfere with
compel tit on. and the commission has
the power of finding out. as a matter
of fact. whether there is interference
with competition The Capitalization
provisions are stringent, and would
prevent issuance of securities except on
the basis of actual values back of
them
