TELEPHONE LINE
FOR EXPOSITION

The Bell company is constructing a
new Independent line through Neva-
da, which will give them an addition
al through line from San Francisco to
Salt Lake City. For several years
the company has had line strung ON
the Western Union poles, but are now
surveying a route of their own.
A party of engineers, in charge of
NJ. NJ. Fall, arrived in town this
morning, having completed the sur
vey from Wadsworth to this point.
Construction work will reach Love
lock within the next few davs. The
survey will run within sight of the
Southern Pacific tracks most of the
way from Reno to Elko, where it will
cross over TO thes Western Pacific and
follow that line into Salt Lake City.
Four wires will be strung on the
poles and they will be used for a
through Panama Exposition line
between San Francisco and New
York. 1t is possible, however, that
messages will not he sent through
without repeating, for the longest
circuit in the country today is from
Kansas City to New York, distance
of approximately 1900 miles.

"QUO YADIS" TO-
MORROW EVENING

1t would REQUIRE a second Solomon
to decide what is the most attractive
and popular feature of George
kleine's artistic production of the
Cines photo-drama, "Quo Vadis, -
which is now exciting the admira-
tion of the world. Some spectators
enjoy most the spectacular scenes of
the Arena with its ferocious lions, ex-
citing gladiator combats and chariot
races, to say nothing of Ursus' thrill
ing conquest Of the savage bull, while
others prefer the romantic love story
of Vinitius and Lygia which is so
completely related Some admire the
characteristic scenes of Nero's court
with its brilliant pagaentry, magnif-
cent festivals and reproduction of
Roman palaces and gardens, and a
great many applaud the production
for its deep moral and religious note,
the impressive Installation of the
early struggles of Christianity and
inspiring scenes in which the Savior
and the Apostles Peter and Paul
dominated. Altogether it is a supreme
masterpiece and the one word that
fttingly describes it is marvellous. ("
George Kleine's "Quo Vadis' is
announced for the Nixon opera house

charge FRAUD TO
LAND COMP PAN|ES

The Nevada Commission Of Agri-
culture, Industry and Irrigation has
laid complaint with the general land
Office against the Nevada Land, Wa
ter and Power company and the First
Mortgage and Real Eestate company
OF Los Angeles and San Diego, Cal.
1t is charged that the two COM
panies, under color of withdrawing
land in southern Nevada to be re-
claimed under the Carey act, have
been unlawfully disposing of the
land; that the companies have been
disposing of water rights unlawfully
to homeseekers and that they are
without the jurisdiction of the Ne
vada authorities.
The commission asks the Federal
authorities to investigate the matter
and see that restitution is made to the
investors, who it is claimed have been
defrauded.
The Carey act withdrawal in ques-
tion is in the Moapa valley and con-
sists of $4,000 acres.
A REIMBURSEMENT of the With
drawal under the Carey act has been
| filed.
The Nevada Land Water and Pow
er eompan was organized under the
laws of Nevada on November s, 1913,
the incorporators being G. N. Gray,
William C. Hale, William G. Hale, Jr.,
J. J. Travers and c. M. Doty. The
other company mentioned is organic
ed under the laws of the state of
California.
c. N. Gray has for some years been
connected with the home ranch en-
terprise in Moapa valley, but an ac-
tion has been commenced to dispos-
sess him. He claims to be a nephew
of Judge Gray of the steel trust.

INCREASING THE
COST OF RAILROADING

A man in close touch with the affairs
OF the railroads in the official classifi-
cation territory says:
Last year the cost to the rail
roads of furnishing the information
and reports required by the Interstate
Commerce commission amounted to
between $7,000,000 and $4,000, 900,
and amount equal to 5 per cent divid-
ends on close to $200,000,000 of capi-
tai. This does not include the ex-
penses involved in connection with
the investigators of multitudinous
state commissions and various legisla-
tive committees.
"Isn't there an opportunity here
for the commission to save the rail
roads some income, as they have in
the matter Of division of rates with
industrial plant Tailroadss
81 do not know of a railroad presi-
dent who does not stand ready to fur
nish the Federal as well as the state
commissions with all the information
possible, but it has long been a prin-
ciple of railroad efficiency that only
statistics which are to be useful and
used are permitted to be compiled,
and none just for statistics sake.
iiChtC II CdhnOt Dut NC NiohCoi tChih6
for the roads to be continually put to
the expense of compiling statements,
when, l am informed, already there is
piled in the commission IS rooms in
Washington many of them with the
strings as yet united, volumes of rail-
road statistics which cost money to
compile and which have not yet been
put to any use.
cit is planned to give the commits
sion full control over issuance of rail-
road stock and bonds, and the staff
of the board has already three to five
years work ahead of it with the data
now in its hands.
"There should be fullest publicity
in railroad affairs, the need of which
has been recently shown to have been
sadly wanting in the case of certain
of our prominent systems, but, on the
other hand, the cost of presenting
such information should be taken into
consideration. 1t takes its place with
higher wages and taxes in the in
creased cost of railroading. wall
