Declines Appointment

c. d. Mackay of Winnemucca. who
was recently named and confirmed as
Re gister of the United States Land
Office at Carson City. has sent notice
to Secretary Lane of the Department
of the Interior declining the appoint
ment.
Mr.. Mackay states that when he
applied for the position the compen-
sation of the Register amounted to
$4,000 year. Since then the Elko
Land Office has been established and
the compensation of the Register of
the Carson Land Office now amounts
to only $1,000 to $500 year. Fol
that reason he was not justified ir
accepting the appointment.

Some one has advanced the opinion
that the letter "e" is the most un-
fortunate letter in the English alpha
bet, because it is always out of cash,
forever in debt, never out Of danger
and in hell all the time. For some
reason he overlooked the fortunes OF
the letter as we call his attention to
the fact "e" is never in war and al
ways in peace. 1t is the beginning
of existence, the commencement OF
ease and the end of trouble. With
out it there would be no meat, no
life and no heaven. 1t is the center
of honesty, makes love perfect and
without it there could be no editors,
devils or news Exchange.

CAR SHORTAGE EXPECTED

Warning Of Impending Condition
Carson City, Nevada, July II.
In anticipation of the probable
shortage of cars caused by the
great crops all over the country.
the Railroad Commission has issued
circular letter to all shippers and
receivers of freight in carload lots
to do their share to prevent, as far
as possible, the shortage. Following
is the letter of the Nevada Railroad
Commission:
ITO Shippers and Receivers of
Freight:
During the next few months the
preponderance of traffic will be out
bound from Nevada, thereby lessen
ing the number of cars which will be
available for local traffic.
THE commission respectfully re-
quests that shippers and receivers of
freight in carload lots use every eff
fort to load and unload cars in less
than 48 hours free time permitted
under our demurrage rules.
Shippers are also requested to
load cars to full capacity, which will
materially reduce the number of cars
needed to handle their business.
Railroads are requested to handle
promptly. when billed, all carload
shipments and to move empty cars
to loading points without delay; also
to repair promptly for service all
crippled and bad-order cars.
The commission feels that a CO.
operation of shippers and railroads
will assist materially in preventing
serious car shortage, Respectfully,
RAILROAD COMMISSION OF
NEVADA,
