On Monday OF last week Elwood
Luce took John Ross, Pete PERI, Lee
Perry and Lloyd Lamberson to Reno
in his automobile. On the return tril
he decided to take the Geiger grad

ter from the melting snow freezing il

steep pitch. and the car went over the
grade and slid about so feet down the
bank. 1t was stopped by deep snow
drift. Owing to darkness Messrs

it to Virginia, about six miles distant
where they arrived very tiredand colo
and hungry. In the morning they re.
turned to their machine and after {
hard tusscl managed to get the cal
out on its own power. Tins was Tho

TO SHIP FURS

Game Warden Grover is daily re-
ceiving many applications for permis-
sion to ship from the state the hides
of fur-bcaring animals. Yester-
days mail brought him one applica-
tion to ship 81 beaver hides Many
applicants have failed, in their letters
to give details that are necessary be-
fore the state game warden will grant
a permit. Each and every applica-
ton must give the number of each
and every kind of hide to be sent
from this state, in addition to the
names OF both consignor and consig-
nee, and the use for which the fur is
intended. In many cases these items
have been omitted with the result
that the would-be shipper has suffered
delay and inconvenience until he has
supplied the missing data The laws
and regulations are strict No one
may legally ship furs from this state
without a permit issued by the state
game warden, and such permit can.

TELEPHONE RATES
TO Be INCREASED

AT meeting in the office Of the
Public Service Commission of Nevada
held February l9, The Yeringtor
Electric Company was authorized tc
put in immediate effect a new sched.
ule of rates as follows:
For ten-party line residence, city
phone, $500 per month.
For ten-party line business, city
phone, $500 per month.
For one-party line business, city
phone, $500 per month.
For combination line and residence
city phone, individual line, $3.50 per
moth.
No one appeared to protest the ill.,
crease in exchange rentals During
the presentation of the case it was dis
closed that certain mining interests
located in the vicinity OF Yerington
have worked hardship on the Tele-
phone Company by prohibiting em-
ployes from obtaining direct exchange
service. At the present time it is the
practice of the mining company to in
stall extensions to the premises OF the
few employees who now have tele-
phone service, thereby compelling
said employees to secure telephone ser
vice through the main station located
in the office of the mining company
One case of this brought out il
the evidence is the situation arising
on the Bluestone Mining & Smelling
Companys property. 1t is the opin-
ion of the Commission that the min
ing company of course has the righ.
to the use of such instruments either
in the main office or i'll outlying
buildings where their service is used
entirely on business of the company.
but the policy OF refusing to permit
employees to subscribe to telephone
service at their own expense at their
own residence for their own persona
use. except through the medium OF
extension, is unwarranted and shoul6
not be permitted. Such subscribers
should secure telephone service on the
same basis as other subscribers OF pc
titioner's system for like service TN
der the same conditions.
During the course of the hearing
the representative OF the Telephone
Company stated that his company de-
sired to make certain extensions into
Smith Valley to serve approximately
twenty-five farmers. The fact wa:
brought out that the desired extension
might possibly encroach upon terri
tory at present served by another
utility of like character. lnasmuch
as this request was not part OF the
original pleadings, an amended peti-
tion was filed on February 10. 1920
to cover this latter question. In ord
der to afford all opportunity to any
protestants who might desire to be
heard regarding this extension of SER
vice, it will be necessary that fur
ther hearing be held on this question
