WATER RATE CASES
| OCCUPY ATTENTION

One of the busy Offices in the capi-
toll is the public service commission
The Legislature fearing that there
was nothing doing. obligingly trim
med down the money allowance, which
will be exhausted before the end OF
next summer. and there promises tc
be more work in view than ever be-
fore.
Since the first of the year 147 cases
have been filed with the commission
ers, ranging from railroad adjust
ments to water service in many OF the
cities. OF the cases filed ninety-nine
are pending, some not having been
heard, others under consideration and
more of them incomplete, mainly from
failure of applicants to properly file
cases.
The public conveniences rank first
in order, there being seventy-one
cases to be heard. Utility cases num-
ber twenty-seven and railroad hear
ings forty-nine.
Increased water rates are bothering
the public purse to a considerable ex-
tent. Elko is protesting against a
proposed raise. Carson is in the same
category. Tonopah people are asked
to pay more for water and hearing
has been heard in the three cases.
In the railroad cases. the Reno trac-
tion company is up for hearing. In
this case the company wants to aban-
don some of its traction system. The
people and city protest and that it to
be decided by the commissioners.
On the question of public convent
ence there has been heard the case
of the Utah-Idaho- Nevada Telephone
company. This concern wishes to ex-
tend its line into Reno and compete
with the Bell system. Both sides have
been heard and all kinds of briefs and
arguments pro and con have been
listened to.

HARD TO CONVICT
DRY LAW V|0LATORS

No jury case in some time has at
tracted the attention that the Vachina
case has, according to discussions
heard on the streets and in official
circles, says the Reno Gazette. AS
jurors tell what happened within the
jury room Saturday morning when
the jury failed to agree on verdict
and the story is pieced together, off,
cials who have been enforcing the
prohibition law express Disappointment
and say that if the jury reflected pub
lie opinion, the enforcement of the
prohibition law has received a very
serious setback.
THE question of the guilt or inno-
cence of Vachina in violating the law.
according to the evidence submitted,
was not taken into consideration at
ALL" remarked one of the jurors yes
terday. Everything from the patriot
ism of the jurors to the League of
Nations was discussed and when the
jury voted 1t was a lineup of wet and
dry forces"
One juror called another a PRO
German" and "un-American," and
challenged him to fight, according to
reports coming from the jury. Three
or four jurymen are reported to have
said that they were not concerned
with the law in the case and were
giving justice as they saw it. Loud
and angry shouts and heated remarks
came from the jury room to the ears
of the waiting attorneys and court.
Another juror was heard to remark
that he would shoot an officer who at
tempted to search his place of busi-
ness, search warrant or not. and that
as long as people were allowed to
keep liquor in their homes they should
be allowed to keep it in their stores
and offices.
The two men who stood for convic-
ton were Charles Burke and Bert Ed
wards. according to several of the
with them until the last ballot.
1T is the last time / will ever allow
man in any way ever connected with
the liquor industry to be on jury if
have a peremptory challange left"
said District Attorney Summerfeld.
1T would be different if they seriously
considered the evidence and then
voted for acquittal, but when they
take up the merits of the prohibition
law and vote according to their own
personal feelings and then openly
brag about it, they are not doing their
duty as jurymen."
Chief Kirkley, who gathered the
evidence against Vachina, is also ex-
pressing his disgust and says that, if
the people are disposed to regard
liquor cases in that light. it is useless
to gather evidence and make arrests.
Constable Rolf. who summoned the
venire, says that he thought he was
getting representative bue.ness men

the case heard again wit lin two
weeks on another sector. Of tnc pr

AGAIN ROUTED OVER
OVERLAND TRAIL

The California State Automobile
bile Association and the Nevada High
way Association have decided to route
tourists over the Overland Trail be-
cause of the .deplorable condition of
the Lincoln Highway after the pas
sage of the truck train over that route.
This information is given out by
Carmen Jewett, secretary of the Ne
vada Highway Association, who re-
turned to Reno yesterday morning
from a conference in California with
highway officials, says the Reno Ca
zette.
The Lincoln Highway has been left
almost impossible according to sew
eral tourists who made the trip last
week, after the big truck train, and
the three big automobile associations
after investigating, decided that in
fairness to the tourist he should be
routed over the Overland Trail
through Reno. Tourists say that the
bridges broken down by the trans
port train have not been replaced and
that the tourists must cross ravines
and bitches as best they can. The
roads are also very badly cut up.
Owing to the deplorable condition
in which the Lincoln Highway has
been left, because of the motor trans
port corps having Travelled same, .
says Miss Jewett, the California
State Automobile Association. the
Utah State Automobile Association
and our own organization have come
to the conclusion that the only fail
way to route the tourist is as follows:
Reno to Wadsworth, thence to Love
lock; instructions will be given to the
tourist at Lovelock upon presenting
our representative there with our
card of Introduction; Lovelock to
Mill City, and at that point take to
the foothills in order to avoid a poor
stretch of road along the old route,
thus bringing the tourist out near
Rose Greek station; thence to Winnie
mucca and Golconda. and from that
point leave the old route by taking
detour to Gold Circle. Tuscarora and
Elko, thus avoiding the very poor
road over the Boulder Creek flats.
From Elko to Salt Lake City you have
very fair road.
II might add, however, that for the
tourist who desires to go to Salt Lake
City via Ely, he should be sure and
take the Minden to Tonopah route,
though somewhat longer. AS said
above. the Lincoln Highway has been
left in a deplorable condition, and it
would not be advisable to travel over
ii at this time from Hazen TO Ely.
All tourists visiting any of these three
associations will be given careful in
structians to call on Mr. Hoag at Ely
for further information into Salt Lake
via the Lincoln Highay."
