The worth of the want ad depart

The plans being made for the FL

school have been suspended for a
time on account of the terrible IRE
in Mexia, from which place the ex-
hibit was to come to WaXahachle.
We are sorry not to be able to nave
this on the dates formerly arranged
for. but as soon as word is received
from the Elson company We shall
be glad to let the public know. The

STRANGE CHARM
OF THE DESERT

A playa is a shallow, fat
floored depression characteristic
of valleys having no regular
drainage to the sea, in which
storm waters collect and evapor-
ate-a wet and dry lake. 1t may
be shallow lake or salt-incrust-
ed mud fiat.
In his description of the pre-
historic Lake Lahontan, in
the Great Basin, the late l. c.
Russell, OF the United States Geo
logical Survey, writes:
"The scenery on the larger
playas is peculiar and is usually
desolate in the extreme but is not
without its charm. In crossing
these wastes the traveller may ride
for miles over a perfectly level
floor, with an unbroken sky line
before him and not an object in
sight to cast a shadow on the
ocean-like expanse. Mirages can
may be seen every day on these
heated deserts giving strange fan
ciful forms to the mountains and
sometimes .transfigure them be-
yond recognition. A pack train
crossing the desert a few miles
distant may appear like some
strange caravan of grotesque
beasts fording a shallow lake, the
the shores of which advance as
one rides away The monotony
Of midday on the desert is thus
broken by elusive forms that are
ever changing and suggest a
thousand fancies which divert the
attention from the fatigues of the
journey. The cool evenings and
mornings in these arid regions,
when the purple shadows of dis
tant mountains are thrown across
the plain, have charm that is
unknown beneath more humid
skies, and the profound stiffness
of the night in these solitudes is
always impressive. Geological

BIG DECEMBER COPPER SALE

The sale of $4,000 long tons of
copper consummated on Decem-
Der % was the largest transaction
whereof there is any record. Sew
eral times during the last 10 years
at crisis in the market, as in 1907,
there have been takings of blocks
of 20, 40, even so million pounds
by some of the great London met
al houses, but those now sound
insignificant in comparison with
the recent sale. The latter will be
great backlog for the market.
Entered on the sales books of two
great agencies, which previously
had made contracts to deliver a
large proportion of their expected
supplies in 1906, the quantity
available to other consumers of
copper is materially diminished.
1t was but natural that the mar
ket had already advanced and
should advance further after the
news of the big transaction was
published.
AS 1915 draws to close copper

for the year, but also is higher
than at any time since 1oO7.-En-

FOR
MERCANTILE co.

Suit was filed Wednesday by
w. F. Reading and others against
the Reading Mercantile & Trans
portation Company corporation
to dissolve the corporation and
distribute its assets. The suit was
caused by threats OF the San Fran
cisco Board of Trade to bring
suits unless the company permit
ted it to follow its usual practice
and permit it to administer the af-
fairs of the corporation. The pc
tition filed prayed for the appoint
ment of a receiver to wind up the
affairs of the defendant corpor-
alton and showed that the assets
of the company are nearly three
times the amount of its liabilities
but that unless the receiver was
appointed the threatened suits
would cause a loss to the stock
holders which would be prevented
by the appointment. Mack &
Green, of Reno, and Clark ]
Guild, of Yerington appeared for
the plaintiffs and ]. Andrew Gut.
terry appeared for the defendant
The answer filed admitted the al
legations of the petition and also
asked for the appointment. The
court appointed A F. Purvine and
E. G.. Kidder, receivers, and fixed
the amount of bonds at $4,000
cash.

POST
HURTS CARRIERS

To show TO what extent freight
is moving by parcel post with no
additional payment being made to
the small railroads that move it,
the Western Association of Short
Line Railroads has completed a
compilation of the amount of
freight going by parcel post from
Marysville to Adm, Cal, in the
month of November. The total
was 50,035 pounds. For carrying
this mail, 232 miles to Bartle, the
railroads were paid nothing. The
stage contractor was paid $1.o5 a
hundred pounds for the Is mile
haul from Bartle to Adm, while
the postoffice department received
$lO8 hundred pounds in post
age.
The postofice department lost
the railroads were paid not a cent,
is the comment of d. NJ. Swobe
manager of the McCloud River
railroad which did part of the rail
haul for nothing at all. Swobe
further pointed out that the
freight rate from Marysville to
Adm averages Sl.72 a hundred
pounds, of which the railroads re-
ceive 81 cents and the lowest cost
of teaming from Bartle to Adm
is Is cents. incidentally the Nc.
Cloud River railroad has received
no pay for carrying any mail
since the last weighing in the ear
ly part of 1914. When this weigh.
ing was done, the railroad was
closed by snow blockades, and
postoffice department wants to ge'
guess at the average weight OF
mail by going Is miles off the
railrodaad, later on, and weighing
the through mail.
Such conditions as these tell why
we want the Interstate Commerce
Commission TO fix the rates. The
postoffice department wants to get
the railway rates below all reason.
We are asking congress for a
square deal and hope to get it

body like the Interstate Com
