Application has been made to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for permission to grant a freight rate
that will enable owners of cattle to ship their stock from
Nevada to pastures in California during the period in
which the ranges are covered with snow, according to 4
San Francisco paper. 1t is highly improbable that
more than a very few owners of livestock would avail

cattle during the winter months. Whatever may be the

certain that the cattle can be fed at points along the
Humboldt valley at less expense than would be entai1ed
by their shipment to California points and their later
return to Nevada. The report sounds decidedly fishv.
