ABOUT THE HAIR FLY.

My Dear Buck:
Your fly book, old man, is dolled up
with as nice a collection of feathered
hooks as one would meet in many a
days fishing, and the colOrs range
from the black gnat to the gaudy
fancies that at times are the only
thing in the fly line which seem to
interest the game fins. But ] see at
glance that you have overlooked
a fly that sure has little wiggle of
its own and that is the hair fly. This
fly. old-timer. is an affair that will
tease more fish into striking than
most any one pattern. and there is a
surprise in store for the angler VINO
has never used it. The hairs have a
nervous twitch in the water that re.
sembles the movement of a struggling
/ insect, and when tied in combination
with the feathers they make a fly
that speaks for itself as soon as It is
lamped by an expert fly fisherman
and besides that it has call to the
fish which they cannot resist.

Fly Tying an Art.
The tying OF the salmon flies is a
cult in England and Scotland. where
/ for generations certain families have
| followed this beautiful art. One must
confess an inherent skepticism, not
consistent with his lineage of the en-
tire desirability of the patterns OF
! flies blindly adored by past genera

that fly work apart and dissembe is
certainly the height of misfortune
True, new types are being produced
some of them handsome enough and
attractive TO the eye OF the novice
but few of them made to stand much
real use.
The first requisite in an artificial
fly is killing quality. then IL should

feats Of the present season was ac-
compllshed recently by Ray Bates,

Washington southpaw. On his next

'BORAH SAYS BOND
ISSUES MUST CEASE
(By international News service)

(By International News Service)
WASHINGTON. July 26.- Senator
Borah OF Idaho declared in a speech
today in the Senate chamber that
never had the outlook for the Allies
in the great world war been so un-
favorable as it is today. He uttered
a solemn warning that this nation
must stop issuing bonds and make
drastic levies upon the wealth of
America, or we are sure to face bank
ruptcy and disaster. He said there
are now $4S.000.000.000 of bonds
afioat in the world sufficient to force
the nations of the earth into serfdom
to the money power il payment is
even attempted-and still every act
of so-called civilization is to turn the
tide of wealth more strongly in the
direction of the great fortunes.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
NIGHTLY TENT SERVICES

The attendance at the tent is in
creasing. A very attentive audience
last night listened to the subject AN
other Universal Empire Predicted"
set up upon the ruins of the existing
wicked nations of today.
Considerable is being said and writ
ten about the proposition to make a
great federation of the nations after
the war is over. and that all troubles
which lead TO war will be settled by
arbitration. Notwithstanding such a
laudable undertaking. it can never be-
come a permanent fact until Christ
comes and sets up His everlasting and
universal kingdom.
In evidence of this the speaker cited
the second chapter of Daniel. Here
a magnificent image of gigantic form
was seen, its head of gold. breast and
arms of silver, thighs of brass. legs
of iron. and his feet part of iron and
part clay. Thou sawest till that a
stone smote the image and
break il in pieces and became great
mountain and filled the whole earth. "
The prophets Interpretation is that
the great image" represents the
kingdoms of the world Babylon
Medo- Persia. Greece and Rome and
the divisions of Rome.
The last great act in Gods drame
of the ages is before us-''In the days
of these kings the God of Heaven vii
set up a kingdom which shall never
be destroyed" 1t will never como
through war or politics; it will come
by the destruction of existing wicked
nations and the coming of Christ.
1t behooves us to join His Kingdom
that we may live forever

GRANT RELIEF TO
NEVADA SHIPPERS

Great interest is manifested by Ne
vada shippers in the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
laid down Tuesday in the intermoun-
tain rate cases, and the full test of
the decision. which is expected here
late in the week, will be carefully
read by Nevada commercial bodies,
shippers, and the Nevada railroad
commission.
Based upon the telegraphic infor-
nation which came from Washington
the commission has laid down to gov
ern the territory between Reno and
Elko an arbitrary rate of ten cents
per hundredweight less than the rate
to Pacific Coast points upon all ship
ments arising from Missouri river
points. Winnemucca and other east
ern Nevada points. under this decis-
ion, will enjoy a rate of twenty cents
per hundredweight less than the rate
to Pacific Coast points from the Mis-
souri, river.
On the other hand, the decision
provides that the rate to Reno terri
tory shall be fifteen cents higher from
Chicago points, twenty-five cents
higher from Pittsburgh points, and
thirty-five cents per hundredweight
higher from New York points than
the Missouri river rate to Reno.
Assuming a rate of one dollar per
hundredweight from Missouri river
points to Reno. the new rate, ex-
pressed in percentages. will amount
to an addition over the Missouri river
rate of Is per cent from Chicago 20
Reno; 25 per cent from Pittsburgh to
Reno, and 35 per cent from New York
to Reno.
Assuming a rate of fifty cents per
hundredweight from Missouri river
points to Reno, the new rate would
be 80 per cent higher from Chicago
points. so per cent higher from Pitts
burgh points, and 20 per cent higher
from New York points than the Mis-
souri, river rates to Reno.
Likewise, if the rate from the Mis-
souri, river to Reno is So, the new
rate from Chicago to Reno would be
tx per cent higher from Pittsburgh
1914 per cent higher. and from New
York 1712 per cent higher than the
Missouri river rate to Reno
On So rate from the Missouri
river to Reno. Chicago points would
take rate per cent higher, Pitts
burgh 8h per cent higher, and New
York 10 1-6 per cent higher than the
Missouri river rate to Reno.
In adopting the mileage plan for
making the new rates, Winnemucca
and other eastern Nevada points en-
joy an even better rate from the East
than Reno.
