WESTERN PACIFIC
REBUILDING N.C.O.

The letting of the contract to the
Utah Construction Company by the
Western Pacific railroad to broaden
and put into standard-gauge shape its
recently purchased MOO railway
from Chilcoot to Reno means the en-
trance into Nevada's metropolis of
that road. When one considers the
hard, long grind to exist experienced
by the Western, it's journey through
receivership, its lack of funds hereto
fore for construction of feeders, and
numerous other essentials necessary
to upkeep and management, it forces
admiration and praise for the efforts
it is putting forth to build up its own
resources as we'll as the State of Ne
vada.
The public reports show that since
the road has been turned over to its
owners by the late receivership it has
more than held its own. The econom-
ical and real railroad managing abil-
ity of its president has fully demon
strated that, "phenix-like," most any
business, ifs properly and honestly
conducted, may "arise from the
ashes"
Most people have an idea that a
railroad, just because it is a railroad,
is an institution formed by the rich
and greedy for exploitation and i'm
mense profits. That instead of its be-
ing public benefaetor it is an octo-
pus crawling about ready to devonr
whom it may. If it publishes a rate
of sixty cents per hundred from Bug
town" to "Billville," every bug" and
"Bill" in both places says it ought to
be thirty cents, without knowledge
whatever as to whether either rate
would be fair. If one of its engines
kills range steer. the proof of loss
says it was a "blooded bull" If it
wants a right of way through ranch
or into a city or hamlet, where it is
to become a servant of the resident,
giving him quick service, cheap rates,
and enhancing the value of property
ten-fold-dollar-and-a-half sagebrush
land becomes an alfalfa producer over
night and is worth at least $100 per
acre. Town and city property that
has barely produced sufficient to pay
taxes for years, Immediately becomes
postoff1ce sites, and the value and
damage done to the owner is unde-
terminable.
It's the wrong idea. Not one road
in ten pays fair dividend upon the
capital invested. The wealthiest roads
in the United States, by the most
careful and economical management,
barely keep two jumps ahead Of the
sheriff. The Western Pacific is show
ing beyong a doubt that it is putting
forth the utmost endeavor to serve the
people of Nevada in a fair and impair
tial manner; is helping to build up
Nevada; lending encouragement to it's
many and varied industries, and
should have the help and support of
everybody in Nevada.
