OPTIMISM PREVAILS
THROUGHOUT NORTHWEST

Col. f. r. Place, general manager of
the Winnemucca Northern, who return
ed during the week from a trip through
Utah, Montana, idaho, Oregon and
Washington, states that he found all
classes of people in those states in an
optimistic frame of mind. This cheer
fulness is the result of high prices be
ing received for their stock, produce,
wool and minerals, due to the Euro
pean war, and the bright outlook for
the coming season. There is an abun-
dance Of water to insure bountiful
crops and present prices for all pro
duets seem certain to be maintained
for the balance of the year, even
should the war terminate abruptly.
In addition to having an eye out for
Winnemucca Northern prospects, Col
Place routed an enormous amount of
wool and other freight via the Mis-
souri, Pacific, for which road he is n
general agent. Speaking of the pros
poets Of this system, Col. Place had
the following to say:
GAS you are doubtless aware, the
Missouri Pacific is at present in the
hands of a receiver, President Bush
acting in the dual capacity of chief
executive of the road and representa-
tive of the courts. He is one of the
greatest living railroad men, and if
the bondhOlders win retain their con
fdence in his management, he win
bring the property through in good
shape.
president Bush had evolved a prac-
tical reorganization plan for the So
called Gould lines, which would have
placed them all on a solvent and pros
porous footing, but he was lied to as
well as double-crossed, and his plan
was never made operative. He has al
ways taken deep interest in the in
termountain states, particularly Ne
vada, and had his advice been follow
ed, the 'Sagebrush' state would have
been benefited to a greater extent in
the next five or ten years than in all
the time that has elapsed since it Sc
cured its first railroad" "

THE MISSOURI PACIFIC
INSURING HORSES FOR
SHIPMENT TO FRANCE

Horses purchased in California and
Nevada for the French government
will be shipped from Los Angeles to
the east. Yesterday it was announced
that 10000 head had been insured for
0,S00,0 900, the largest livestock incur
anee policy ever issued in the United
States, to protect the French govern
ment against loss in the moving of the
horses across the continent to New
York. Each horse is insured for $50.
A veterinarian employed by the insur-
anee company will accompany each
train load.
It was said last night that about
10000 head would move through Salt
Lake, over the Salt Lake Route and
the remaining $4,000 head would be
shipped east over the Santa Fe and the
Southern Pacific.
For more than four months there
have been several French officers in
the West buying horses. The Oregon
Short Line has routed several thous-
and head from Oregon and Idaho 20
New York within the past two months.

WILL ESTABLISH QUAR-.
ANTIhE ON NEVADA DOGS

Preliminary arrangements have been
made by Governor Boyle and Attorney
General Thatcher for the establishment
by the governor of a quarantine on
dogs in Nevada north Of the fourth
standard parallel north. The quaran-
tine will be established within the next
few days and is the result Of a recon-
mendation made to Governor Boyle by
the state rabies commission.
The quarantine will prohibit the
movement of dogs within the bounds
of the district established by the proc
lamation, either locally or from out
side states.
The fourth standard parallel north
cuts a line across the state about p
miles north of Reno and cutting in
half the counties of Churchill, Lander,
Eureka and White Pine.
Governor Boyle states that one Of
the principal purposes of the quaran-
tine is to prevent the spread of rabies
to the southern portions of the state,
and more particularly to Reno and the
territory lying Immediately adjacent
it. He gave it as his opinion that the
quarantine will result in sheep dogs,
from which the greatest danger of ra-
bies is said to come, being muzzled
when brought through Reno and other
towns.
The governor says that reports from
coyote hunters show that there are 20
men in the field now under orders from
the federal authorities. The counties
of Nye, Elko, Humboldt, White Pine,
Lincoln, Mineral, Clark and Lander
have made provision for the 3la cent
special tax agreed upon by county
commissioners assembled several weeks
ago at Winnemueea for the purpose Of
discussing the rabies situation

THE GOVERNMENT
And THE RAILROADS

In an interesting article in the FeD-
ruary number of the Worlds Work -
on "The Government and the Rail
roads," Otto II. Kahn, one of the
heads of the big banking house of
striking and original views. Mr.. Kahn
takes the stand that government reg
ulation of the transportation lines is
preferable to government ownership,
but declares the present system faulty.
He holds one national authority should
have sole charge of regulating rates
and other matters affecting interstate
lines, and that neither state legislat-
ures nor commissions should have any
jurisdiction over such carriers, except
ing the exercise of certain administra-
tive, police or public welfare powers
within well defined limits The Inter
state Commerce commission as at pres
ent constituted is swamped with more
work than any seven men can posi-
bly, perform.
Mr.. Kahn enuneiates the idea that
the national functions and character
Of railroads are analogous to those of
national banks and that they should
be handled in the same manner "The
formula and principle of the banking
and currency legislation. viz, strong.
effective and controlling central fed
eral board in Washington, relieved
from detail work and from certain es-
sentially conflicting functions (which
should be conferred upon a separate
body, with regional boards according
to geographic groupings might prove
exactly suited to railroad legislation
The same body which determines earn
ings by fixing rates should be charged
with the responsibility of hearing and
determining wage disputes between
railroads and their employees, or, if
that be not practicable, then at least
with the duty of giving full weight
and consideration to all factors that
go to enhance the cost of operating
railroads, such as legislative enact
ments like the full crew law, increased
taxation, advance in wages, etc"
The fnancier also makes the point
that it should be the successful bust
ness man, and not the failure, whoes
advice should be sought in govern
ment matters. Yet there is no country
where the views of representatives of
business are so little needed and so
frequently rebuffed where legislation
affecting economic, industrial and
financial matters is framed. He says.
Let us have no patience with the
presumption that men who, mostly
from small beginnings, have fought
their way to the top after having
passed through the hard and searching
test and discipline of business, are to
be ignored or distrusted in the shaping
of the industrial and economic policies
of the country, because of alleged in
capacity or unwillingness to take a
broad and patriotic view of national
questions directly or indirectly affect
ing their own interests. Let us lend no
eountenance to the presumption that
patriotism, virtue, and knowledge re-
side primarily with those who have
been unsuccessful, those who have no
practical experience of business, nor
vet, be it said with all respect, with
those who are politicians or office
holders -

Boys 28O Miles In Mexico Sleep On Arms, Hoping Carranza Attempts To Car ry Out Threats GREAT SUPPLIES

 COLUMBUS, June 1.-The Ameri- can expedition in Mexico is sleeping on its arms prepared for any eventu- ality. According to reports here to- night General Jacinto Trevino's threat is taken seriously by the army men here. more especially since he oc- cupied the better part of last week re- forming his entire line south of Nam- iquipa.
 American scout patrols have been detailed to watch the Mexican North western Railway to prevent any sur prise troop movements from the north or south.
 Information leaking through from the south today indicates that the Am erican troops are being re-disposed in sections where surprise might be pos sible. Outposts in every direction have been withdrawn and detailed to vantage points for protective purpos- eS
 While no immediate attack is looked for yet, General Pershing is taking ev- cry precaution to protect his com mand. It is understood also that Gen eral Pershing's instructions from his superiors give him perfect freedom of action in case of attack by the Mexi- can defacto troops.

SAN ANTONIO, June IT, United States army officers at headquarters here tonight regarded the Mexican sit uation as most serious. Assuming the defacto Mexican government would authorize Alfredo Ricaut to carry out his threat to attack any American force that crossed the line into Mexico some declared their belief that war was almost unavoidable. The crisis was reached today when more than 300 men of the Third Cavalry crossed the river below Brownsville in pursuit of the bandits that attacked little de- tachment of the Twenty-sixth Infantry at San Benito last night
 General Parker commanding at Brownsville. sent cavalry securing in the country in the vicinity of San Beni to on "hot trail'' discovered bv Lieut.. Newman, commanding, Troop H. The trail led across the river and Lieut.. Newman led his troops across later in the forenoon.
 Major Anderson with a squadron of the same regiment and machine gun company. closed in on the same trail and early in the afternoon followed the lieutenant and his troop into Mex ico.
 Bandits Flee
 The bandits fled without serious re- sistance.
 General Parker reported that he had sent to Consul GarZa in Brownsville a note informing him that American troops had crossed the international boundary in conformity with the spirit of the agreement between the two countries authorizing the passage of troops when on ''hot trail" in pUr- suit of bandits. He also called the at tention of the consul to the fact that the bandits had been run back to a distance which American authorities had long insisted was rendezvous of the bandits and outlaws.
 Looks Like War Consul Garza replied acknowledg- ing receipt of General Parker's note. adding that he knew what if meant. and expressed his deeD regret.
