BUSINESS ANXIOUS
OVER NEW BUDGET
Protective Tariff Unlikely as
Most of Cabinet Hold to
Free Trade.
BY FRANCIS w. HIRST,
Editor of The Economist
Especial Cable 10 Tho Tribune.

London, Aug. 31.-From our Brit
ish viewpoint the most important
and satisfactory economic feature
Just now is the decline in wheat
prices. English wheat, after being
up to 60 shillings the quarter, is now
down to about as. Flour and bread
prices follow, too, slowly, but this
fall should somewhat ease our ex-
change troubles, which are partly
due to the high prices Of food i'm
ports. Now that harvest weather is
much better, good crops may be ex-
pected.
Germany's modification of her
atrocious submarine policy is well
come to sea travellers and indi-
Gates increasing power in the mod
crate party in Berlin, which sees
approaching bankruptcy and desires
TO let down the tension with view
TO peace negotiations.
The stubborn defence of Riga,
Russia's chief port, gives satisfac-
ton here. The German-Austrian Of
fensive is apparently directed tow
ard Kiev and the Black Sea country.
Business circles here are speculat-
ing anxiously about the coming bud
get, which is expected before the
end of September. A protective
tariff is impossible, | think, as more
than half the Cabinet holds free
trade opinions.
Labor problems remain trouble
some. The Trade Union Congress
at the beginning of September will
throw new light on working class
opinion, especially concerning con-
scription. Northcliffe's press agita-
ton for it is subsiding.

COURT UPHOLDS
PULLMAN Rates

The rule of the Southern Pacific
railroad requiring two full fares from
an occupant of a Pullman drawing
room and one and one-half fares from
an occupant of a compartment was
pronounced reasonable yesterday by
the interstate commerce commission. A
complaint by the railroad commission
# Nevada was dismissed.
Nevada was one of the few states
where the Southern Pacific company
had established the double fare and
one and one-half fare rates on intra-
state traffic, the rule having been par
tlcularly applicable to intrastate pas
senger traffic.
About two years ago the railroad
commission of California denied the
Southern Pacific permission to make
the rule effective on California intra-
state passenger business. 1t was
thought probable that in the light Of
today's decision the company would
again ask the California commission
TO sanction the practice.

Open LARGE BODY
ORE AT ROCHESTER

Rochester, New, Nov. 2.-An inn
mense ore body has been opened in
the property of the Rochester Mines
company on the east vein and the last
four feet just broken into reveals free
gold. The first ten feet of the vein
gave returns from $24 to $50 a ton.
After breaking through a false hang
ing wall they have found four feet
more, in which the free gold shows, but
which cannot be definitely valued at
this writing because of lack of assay
returns.
This is one of the most remarkable
discoveries of the Humboldt range or
the mining history of northern Ne
vada. 1t is an ore body such as cre-
ated excitement in the days of the
Comstock and the later history of
Tonopah. 1t will eventually centralize
the mining attention of the country
upon the northern part of this state.
The east vein of the Crown Point
claim has shown extraordinary con-
sistency. The present shoot is re-
vealed in the Codd winze at 100 feet
below what is known as the 300 level,
but which, in fact, is 600 feet on the
dip of the vein from the outcrop.
Three hundred and fifty feet south
the Big Four winze is down to the $50
level on the same vein, sinking in six
to nine feet of ore Free gold show
ings have been found in this portion
of the vein and it is a matter of au-
thentic record that the gold content Of
the ore has gradually been increasing
rs depth has been attained.
This splendid ore body which is now
furnishing practically all the tonnage
that is going through the Rochester
mill, is blocked 600 feet on the dip and
$50 feet along the strike. 1t varies from
five to fourteen feet in width and the
values have been running from SIS to
$40 The latest find with the excel
lent gold showings will unquestionably
go much better.

DIVORCED AND MARRIED
AGAIN IN TWO HOURS

Divorced at 10 o'clock and married
again at high noon was the record set
by Mrs. Rose Burkhard, a musician of
New York, who has been member of
the Reno divorce colony for the past
few months.
Mrs. Burkhard charged that her hus-
band, Adolph Burkhard, failed to pro
vide for her and her three children
and on this ground was given her
freedom.
From the courtroom she walked to
the office of County Clerk Fogg and
secured a license to wed Theron H..
Burden Of Long Island, n. Y, and the
ceremony was performed at noon, JUS
tiee of the Peace Kirby Unswworth of
fieiating.
Mrs Burkhard is 43 years of age and
is the mother of three children, the
oldest of which is 20 years. Burden
is 81 years of age.

WEATHER BUREAU CLOSED
AFTER NEARLY FORTY YEARS

With the resignation, on account of
failing health, of Ross Levers, CO.
operative observer of the weather bu-
reau at LEVERS ranch, few miles
west of Franktown, Washoe county,
Nevada, the final chapter in the his
tory of that model of stations has
been closed.
This station was established in 1873,
and during the thirty-seven years and
eight months it has been in operation
continuous records of temperature,
precipitation, wind and weather have
been maintained.
On of the interesting features of
these records is that they were made
by members of the same family,
namely, Mr.. and Mrs Ross Levers
and their sons and daughters, one
member of the family succeeding an
other as the years passed by. At
no time did the experts receive any
compensation from the government
Tor their services.
From the time the station was es-
tablished a total of 10,095 daily OBJ
servations were made and recorded.
Steps are being taken to transfer
the weather instruments of the old
station to Franktown, New, where
cooperative station win be opened.

MAY ORGANIZE
HIGH SCHOOL GYM

The girls of the high school met with
MISS Ohmert in room four Immediately
after school yesterday for he purpose
OF considering the feasibility of invIt-
ing Miss Elsie Sameth of the univer.
sity to visit us and organize class
in gymnasium work, folk dancing, etc
Miss Sameth is an expert in this line,
as is clearly shown by the work of her
classes at the university, the exhibi-
tIon given by her students at the track
meet last June being a rare treat.
After full discussion it was decided
10 ask the university to allow her to
come to us. Professor Jewell is writ.
ing with that end in view today.
The Adeven Literary Society held
its second meeting of the year during
the sixth and seventh periods yester.
day. Among other things it was de-
eided to present play in the very
near future to defray the expenses of
athletics, and a strong committee was
appointed to select the play and as.
sign the parts. All who heard the
high school play of last year know
that there was excellent talent in
school then, and we have some not
able additions among the newer stu
dents. Watch for later announce;
ments.
The boys are out at football prae.
tiee this afternoon and there is every
reason to believe that we may have a
game here with Reno during the
month.
Report cards for the second month
are being prepared today. The month
has been somewhat broken up by the
institute, but the check is not Sc
rious one.
The progress of work N the new
building is being eagerly watched by
Us all Things are moving rapidly up
there con the hill' these days, but
none too fast to suit us. The grading
on the school lot and athletic field is
nearly completed and Commissioner
hoslSins has started the work of ex-
tending the Fourth street grade out to
the school property. The last of the
first floor windows were set in place
today.
