FEDERAL JURY
|NDICTS N.C.O. co.

The Nevada California; Oregon Rail-
way Company was indicted Tuesday
by a Federal grand jury, sitting in
Carson City, on ten counts for alleged
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law. The trial of the case will prob
ably be held early in the summer.
According to the charges of the
government, the company, by the
practice of evasion, has been receiv-
ing fuel oil for its own consumption
over the lines of the Southern Pacific
company at less than the tariff rates
of that company, in violation of the
interstate commerce laws.
The government claims that this
fuel oil is shipped from the California
fields for storage at Reno, where ii is
supplied to engines operating on the
N-C-O line; that in order to obtain a
rate from the point of origin less
than the tariff rate, the MOO di-
rected the shipper to consign this oil
to Summit, small way station on the
N-C-O, north of Reno, thereby permit
ting the MOO to participate in the
through rate; that such oil was never
carried to Summit on the N-C-O line,
but was Immediately stored in tanks
at Reno; that to carry out the alleged
evasion the N-C-O company kept con-
stantly on its tracks at Reno a tank
car full of oil, and that as soon as a
carload was received from the Cali
fornia fields this car of oil was hauled
to Summit station ON the MOO line
and then returned to Reno without
ever being emptied or unloaded. 1t is
claimed that by this method the N-C-O
made a saving of 81 per ton.

HATCH SECURES PR0MIS.
ING LEASE AT NATIONAL

Several days ago N. p. R. Hatch Sc
cured lease from J. l.. Workman on
the Chefoo claims at National. While
prospecting on this property Mr..
Hatch encountered a vein from four
to twelve feet wide, which has been
proved up for a distance of one hun
dred feet.
The ore is similar in appearance to
that of the National mine and assays
run from SIS to s120 per ton in silver
and gold, including as high as per
cent copper. Mr.. Hatch is in town
today purchasing supplies, which will
be sent out as soon as he can secure
transportation, and upon their deliv-
cry force of men will begin work on
the property.
Mr.. Hatch is a pioneer of National
and has worked several promising
leases, expending thousands of dol
lars. His many friends trust that ne
will not be again disappointed in his
new venture.

TAKE EXCEPTION TO
BOYLF'S REQUEST

The Nevada United Industries has
taken action on the telegram sent to
President Wilson by Governor Boyle
some time ago. asking that the manu-
facture of liquor from grain be dis
continued during the war. It is
claimed that in making this request
Governor Boyle only voiced his own
wishes and those of a portion of the
citizens of Nevada. A telegram, signed
by number of the most prominent
men in the State, of both political
parties, has been sent to President
Wilson, as follows:
"The President of the United States,
Woodrow Wilson, Washington,
DC.
Your Excellency - The utterances
conveyed to you by the Hon. Emmett
d. Boyle. Governor of Nevada, asking
for national prohibition, do not speak
the sentiments of Nevada; therefore
we pray you in your wisdom-know-
ing that you will not let the minority
govern the majority - to consider oul
wishes as well and not grant national
prohibition, thereby working innu-
merable sufferings and hardships on
loyal and true Americans whose live
lihood would be taken from them.
Nevada stands first proportionately
in it's quota of enlistments, but that is
not due to those who ask national
prohibition of you now. The enlist
ments have come from our class o.
people, who are just as loyal anC
patriotic as any in Nevada; and, nj
matter what happens, we are will
you"

Mr.. Russell has the distinction Of

silo in Bottineau. Mr.. Russell's silo
is in the ground 13 feet and above
ground 80 feet, giving him a capacity
of $50 tons. In the construction he
used Al barrels Of cement, 45 yards
of gravel and 40 rods of wire netting
for reinforcing and it took 4 men As
hours of labor at a total cost of $3O1.-
10, actual cash paid out $4,000, and
a cost per ton capacity Of $1.52. This
is as far as we know the lowest cost
per ton capacity of any silo that has
been erected and has been proved to
be satisfactory as a container Of en-
silage in the two years that it has
been in use. Mr.. Russell is also inter-
ested in the production of hogs and
Shorthorn cattle.
