Lloyd-George has completed a
plan which, will be soon before
Parliament for the self-government
of Ireland. II will provide fof two
states in Ireland, one in north and
one in the south. Each will have
complete independence in local af-
fairs, much like our states. Each
will send members TO Parliament,
and England will hold control Of
foreign matters and the army.
This plan is believed to meet con-

PROSPECT Of RATES
TO NEVADA SHELTER

8. X. Belford, who represented the
Mason Valley Mines Company in the
hearing before the district freight
board at San Francisco. on a petition
for the establishment of a reduced
rate ON ore from Plumas county, Cali
fornia, to Thompson, Lyon county.
believes the board will announce q
decision next Monday and that the
rates asked for will be granted. ac-
cording to a statement he made to
the Reno Gazette yesterday.
The Western Pacific Railroad Com
pany appeared at the hearing and pro-
tested at the rates asked for. The
Mason Valley Mines Company asked
that a rate Of $2.70 on $50 ore and
$3.50 on 800 ore be established. At
the present time no rates on ore from
Plumas county points to Thompson
are published. but commodity rates
are quoted about $11 per ton for 500
ore. The rate to Utah from Plumas
county is about So per ton, and as a
result ore cannot be shipped to the
Mason Valley smelter.
