Effects of the big coal strike were
manifested in Winnemucca last night.
c. P. Hoskins, without a pound of
coal in his yard or warehouse, was
anxiously scanning the local freight
train for a consignment directed to
him. He found the car in the train
but the conductor refused to "set it
out" saying he had telegraphic or
ders to take all coal destined to points
east of Inlay. along with him to that
division point. Mr.. Hoskins hopes to
accomplish something toward secur-
ing coal supply during his present
visit to Sale Lake City, but realizes
that it is useless to negotiate a ship
ment so long as the railroad COM
pany is confiscating all fuel.

PARADISE, Nevada.--Frank Crut-
cher. captain of the Paradise Piutes
has written to Governor Boyle por-
testing against payment Of hunting
licenses by the Indians. His letter
is addressed to Uncle SAM" and il
reads as follows:
Somebody told Indians here, we
have to pay hunting license to hunt
deer, and some Indians have already
paid $100 to hunt. We think this il
not right to make Indians pay license
to hunt.
"You poison rabbits, you poison
squirrels, we now afraid, maybe you
poison ground hog pretty soon, and
Indians got no kind of meat to eat
Before the white men, our people
have plenty of meat. Now we think
it is not right to pay license.
Il ask you if you VIII change law
so Indians will not pay"

MEET TO talk
RAISING WAGES
FOR employees
Municipal Commission In Session
To Decide On Salary Increase
In Departments.

The Rock Island municipal COM
mission today tackled a problem
which has been vexing it for some
weeks
The matter of increasing sala-
ries of the police and fire depart
ments and certain other city en-
ployes was taken up with the idea
of reaching some decision before
the close of day The commission
went into session this morning,
took a recess at noon and sailed
forth into the perpleXing financial
issues involved in the problem
again this afternoon.
Naturally the first question to be
determined fully was the attitude
of the members on the matter Of
the income. This was rapidly dis
posed Of by the body, as il has
been generally understood that the
city heads recognize completely
the need of advancing tie pay Of
the men.
The most troublesome feature is
the matter OF financing the in
crease. The commission is anxious
to elevate the pay Of the men to
the basis recently established Dy
the city OF Moline hut this involves
the question of whether or not the
municipality can afford it with the
budget of the general fund antici-
pated at only S2S4600. The mat
ter of a supplemented tax ordi-
nance to levy an emergency street
and bridge tax Of 25c on the s1o0
valuation was discussed in this
connection. It was generally stated
that the city will have a difficult
time increasing the salaries with
out the fund this levy will bring in,
or through some other additional
means.
Talk Aerial Truck.
It was planned before the after
noon session had terminated 20
discuss the matter of purchasing
an aerial ladder fire truck, the mat
ter being in line with discussion
of finances but it was fully de
termined to take care Of the in
crease in pay to employees before
consideration OF purchasing new
equipment is given.
