HIGHWAY PROJECTS

Bound for Battle Mountain and
Elko where they will inspect high
way projects now in progress, c. c.
Cottrell, state highway engineer left
Reno Tuesday. He will be gone sew
eral days. Cottrell will first stop at
Battle Mountain where he will make
arrangements to let contract for
surfacing a job of work now under

and the other in a month, the high
way engineer says. One bridge is
under construction in Humboldt
county and another in Lyon county.
The road being built east of Tono-
pah by E. S. Berney, is progressing
very rapidly and favorably, Cottrell
says. Grading has been ninety per
cent completed. Berney is also build

DEMOCRAT
NOTICES BIG CHANGE

Times have changed since James
Hogan was one of the 1000 citizens of
Washoe City in 1864 and there was no
Reno, and now when Reno is the me-
tropolis of the state and there almost
is no Washoe. James Hogan left
Washoe in its bsom days in 1867 and
now he is in Reno in 1919 looking
over the new scenes and trying 70
find the places that he knew so well
in 1864 1t is big jump between
those two dates and a lot of things
have happened in that time as Mr..
Hogan has found in a hasty look
around.
Mr.. Hogan claims the distinction Of
being one of the very few Democrats
of the stormy political fights Of the
first years of Nevada's admittance to
the Union. He voted in the first state
election. but there weren't enough
Democrats to register a showing
against Gov. Blaisdel and the Repub-
licans carried on all the hon0rs.
Times have changed in politics also.
says Mr. Hogan.
He came around the horn to Cali
fornia in 1863 and landed in San
Francisco New Years eve of that
year. The stories of wealth to be
found in the land of Washoe called
him to what was then called by that
name and he came over the Kings
canyon road into Carson Valley and
thence to Washoe City. The biggest
community in western Nevada at that
time. He got job in the Minnesota
Mill and lived and worked in Washoe
City three years.
Mr.. Hogan intends to go out and
view what is left of the Washoe that
he knew. 1t was city of 1000 people,
with big mills. a lumber industry and
prosperous ranches. There were
numerous stores. saloons and COM
Portable homes. Washoe Lake was
then one big lake instead of three
smaller ones as it is now and busy
mills lined its shores. Trees were cut
in the mountains behind the city.
brought down in fumes to the big
sawmills in the valley, cut into lum-
ber and then transported over the
Geiger grade to the Comstock to be
used in timbering and building
operations.
But the timber was soon used up
and it was found to be more advanta-
geous to locate the mills on the Car
son river and Washoe City declined
until it became as Mr.. Hogan will see
/. now.
"In those days Democrat was con-
sidered to be about what Bolshevist
is now," said Mr.. Hogan. Il remem-

MURDERER Of JAP
NOT YET CAPTURED

AT press time today the Mexican
section hand who shot and killed a
japanese cook at Golconda yesterday
afternoon had not been caught by the
posse searching for him. Sheriff
Springer, with Constable Brady, Dave
Smelser and George Balm, left on
left on train number five this after
noon for INLAY, where the murderer
was reported to have been seen. Nc
word has been received from them
since.
The trouble started when Constable
Brady went to Western Pacific Sec
tion crew camp yesterday to arrest a
Mexican for stealing a watch belong
ing to the station agent at Golconda.
1t was necessary for Brady to draw
his revolver when arresting the man,
because of a threatening attitude. The
arrested Mexican's partner is the
murderer now being sought. He said
he wanted to go along to testify that
the arrested man was hot guilty and
requested that the officer wait until
he entered car to secure something.
Members of the posse were of opin-
ion. when talked to at noon today,
that the murderer really entered the
car to secure the section foreman's S
automatic pistol locked in a trunk
IN the car. The trunk was later found
broken open and the pistol gone. 1t
is also thought that the Japanese cook
came upon the Mexican while he was
robbing the trunk. AT any rate, it is
said, the Mexican placed a shotgun
against the Jap's stomach and fired,
causing instant death.
An immediate search was instituted
to capture the Mexican murderer.
Men hunted over the entire country
and watched trains all night, only to
learn later that the Mexican had been
seen walking about Golconda. Later
he was tracked to the Bliss ranch,
half way between Golconda and Win
nemucca. He had gone to the ranch,
said he had gotten into trouble at Col
conda and wanted something to eat.
After being fed he continued toward
Winnemucca. walking. The posse ar
rived at the ranch twenty minutes
after he had left.
The next report was that the mur-
derer had been seen in this city Then
came the report that he was in Inlay
and the officers left to overtake him.
That was at l o'clock this afternoon
and no further word has been re-
ceived here.
Undertaken John Gulling was called
to Golconda yesterday to take charge
of the body of the Japanese, whose
name he did not learn. 1t is said that
the murderer's name is Lopez. The
body of the Japanese will be shipped
to Salt Lake for burial

EXCESSIVE CHARGES
ON NEVADA FREIGHT

The establishment of a traffic bu-
reau in connection with the Reno
Commercial Club is meeting with con-
siderable success, according to Secre-
tary Norris of the club and Nevada
shippers are taking keen interest
in the bureau with the hope that
through it a rate adjustment for this
state on many commodities will be
made, says the Reno Gazette.
A statement showing the injustice
OF rates affecting the community and
state has been published by the traf-
fic committee. 1t was given out in
the form of an interview with one of
the members of the committee who
made study of the rate problem.
Just as an opening gum" he said.
II understood from conversation with
some of my friends that the -four in
dustry of Reno was in fine shape in
the matter of rates. Immediately /
exclaimed my delight and remarked
that that was exactly what we wished
for all manufacturing enterprises
located In the state. l started a little
investigation and you may imagine
my surprise when almost the first
things l ran into was that the rate
on aour in car lots from Reno to
Lovelock, a distance of 101 miles is
$3.50 ton. The same product is
carried from San Francisco to Placer
Vile, a distance of 149 miles for IS a
ton. Now what l would like to know
is why the San Francisco miller s
entitled to rate permitting him to
ship his product forty-eight miles
further than the Reno miller for
eighty cents less per ton. The haul
from Reno to Lovelock is all ON a
direct main line while from San Fran
cisco to Placerville involves branch
line service.
Lump coal is hauled from Castle
Gate. Utah, to Reno, distance of 692
miles for $3.50 ton while the same
commodity is hauled from the same
point to Spokane. Wash. a distance
of 1881 miles for s490 ton.
THE frst-class rate from Reno to
Elko and all parts east thereof in the
state of Nevada is exactly the same
as the first class rate from Sacra-
mento. although the haul from Reno
is 154 miles shorter than the haul
from Sacramento. News print paper
is carried from Kansas City 10
Shreveport. La, distance of $50
miles for $40 a ton while the same
paper is carried from San Francisco
to Reno, 214 miles, for $11.30 a ton.
Sugar is carried from ST. Louis to
Kansas City. 277 miles. for s4.60 a
ton. The rate from San Francisc ,
to Reno, 244 miles, is s1260 a ton.
So more for a shorter haul.
ITO ship fresh meats from ST Louis
to Kansas City it costs $460 a ton,
while to carry the same product from
San Francisco to Reno 1t costs $3.50 |
Furniture is carried from San
Francisco to Goldfield. SIS miles, for
S40.80 ton. while the same articles
are carried from Chicago to Sioux
City, $40 miles for s5 sc Some diff
ference in freight charges for thc |
five-mile increase in haul.
Pipe and wrought iron, of which |
Southern Nevada uses considerable is |
carried from San Francisco to Gold |
