HUNTERS FROM IDAHO
BUY NEVADA LICENSES

County Clerk Keith reports the
last of the hunting license from Id
aho and says that the Idaho hunt
ers enriched the Elko county funds
by exactly $500. These were taken
out for hunting sagehens and deer
and is the largest sum yet received
from that quarter. In years gone
by the Idaho hunters had a habit
of coming across the line and
shooting game in excess of the
number allowed by law. After the
game warden arrested a few of
them and they were heavily fined
they decided it would be cheaper
to buy license aand escape ar
rest.

being made along the Humboldt
river in the adjudication of water
rights. The hearings are expected
to be fully completed within the
next month, when the evidence will
be presented to the courts for set
Element. There are now only few
odds and ends that have to be taken
up before the hearings are COM
pleted.
Roads
The state highway engineer is
now attending the convention of
American Association of Highway
Officials, in Omaha, Neb., where
men connected with the bureau of
public roads are working out the
proposed interstate system affecting
all states. The state highway de-
partment will then be in a position
to go ahead and designate the vari-
Gus roads subject to federal aid un-
der the recent road act.
The Chamber of Commerce has
gone on record as favoring improve
ment on roads to the north of Win
nemucca in preference to that on
the Victory highway, it being gen.
orally felt that the communities to
the north were dependent absolutely
on the roads to market their
produce, and the secretary was in
structed to appear before the COM
mission with this endorsement. The
outcome is still in doubt, but we
hope in the next letter to report
success.
Meeting
The next meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce will be on Friday
evening, Decemb 16. Topic for
discussion: "What can we do to i'm
prove the roads from Winnemucca
to Paradise Valley, McDermitt and
Denio?" Come and have your say
on this important subject.

work which is now going on, and
the increasing values of precious
and semi-precious metals indicating
an ever increasing demand.
AS announced in a previous let
ter, we are establishing a mining
bureau in this organization which
will function for the whole of Hum
boldt county. Shortly, question
naires will be sent to every mining
man in the county asking for full
information concerning his property
so that it may be properly listed
and an intelligent interchange of in
formation be carried on between
owners and prospective buyers. Your
hearty cooperation in this work is
solicited In the meantime, we are
seeking to establish an exhibit which
will be a credit to Humboldt county,
and will cover all ores and grades
of ore produced within its confines
Mining men, your attention to this
We would appreciate samples of

Freight Rates
The hearings before the interstate
commerce commission with refer
ence to the proposed freight rate re-
duction to Pacific coast terminals
without similar reductions to inter-
mediate points, are now being held.
AS this letter is issued, the hearing
at Reno is taking place, and big
fight is promised by Mr.. E. H.
Walker, traffic manager of the Reno
Chamber of Commerce, who is ably
handling our interests in this hear
ing. 1t is probable that, after the
hearings are completed, it will be
several months before the commits
sion arrives at a decision, but this
much is certain, that if the commits
sion decides in favor of the railroad
interests, an act will be passed by
congress making absolute the long
and short haul clause in the inter
state commerce act, which will mega
tive the present act of the commits
sion. We are working on our rep
resentatives in congress, and others
from the intermountain country,
with this end in view, and we sug
gest that every member of this or
ganization actively engage in this
work by writing to every congress
man and senator in Washington
known to him, demanding their sup
port to this long and short haul bill.
Details may be secured from this
office for the asking.
We are also going after a special
rate on explosives, our attempt be-
ing to secure from both the Western
Pacific and the Southern Pacific
railroads, a rate on ton lot ship
ments from Giant and Herpoco,
California, to Winnemucca. If we
are successful in this effort, prices
on all high explosives will be ma
serially reduced at this point, thus
beneftting and encouraging the min
ing industry greatly in this COM
munity. A more definite report will
be given in our next.

and a piece of shale to show its

something like $50 miles; therefore
it is found that on this transconti-
mental traffic to Reno for an aver
age haul of 2118 miles the earnings
per car mile under the proposed
rate would be 31.77 cents against
the average of those systems of
29.40 cents for a haul of only 1875
per cent of the transcontinenta
haul.
"This exhibit further discloses the
fact that on the transcontinental
traffic to Reno for an average haul
of 2118 miles the earnings per ton
mile under the proposed rate would
be $.01947 as against the average
on these systems of $.01364. The
latter figure applying on an average
haul only 1875 per cent of the length
of the transcontinental haul"
J. F. Shaughnessy, chairman of
the Nevada public service commits
sion, followed Walker and declared
that the proposed terminal rates to
San Francisco and coast points were
shown to be compensatory and that
if the same terminal rates were ap-
piled to Reno the rates would still
be excessive, while the carriers pro-
pose to grant terminal rates to the
coast and leave the Nevada rates
stand as they are today.
Comparative Table
Shaughnessy presented a table
showing a comparison of the per-
centage of net revenue secured by
the Southern Pacific in moving
freight from Ogden to Elko, Winnie
mucca, Hazen, Reno, Sacramento
and San Francisco. The percentages
were as follows: Ogden to Elko,
1868 miles, 1878 per cent; Ogden
to Winnemucca, 365 miles, 1911
per cent; Ogden to Hazen, 1912
miles, 64.42 per cent; Ogden to
Reno, $40 miles, Gill per cent;
Ogden to Sacramento, 696 miles,
1888 per cent; Ogden to San Fran
cisco, 1856 miles, AZ per cent. In
other words, the cost of moving
ton of freight from Ogden to Reno,
for instance, is S6.48 and the rev.
enue derived is $16.665, while the
average cost to the railroad of NOV
ing the same ton of freight from
Ogden to San Francisco is S9.432,
while the revenue derived is still but
$16.665. Shaughnessy's testimony
had not been concluded at l o'clock
when a recess was taken.
Action Unconstitutional
At the opening of the hearing j.
Poujade, former lieutenant COVER
nor, declared the proposed action of
the railroad in reducing terminal
rates and not reducing intermediate
rates, was a direct violation of the
constitution of the United States, as
it would deprive people of property
without due process OF law. Going
further, he said that though Nevada
was in the United States politically
that it was not commercially and
would be better off if it was in the
Philippine islands; that the railroads
were making unfair use of public
ands granted to them by the coun-
try and that it was also exercising
an unjust and unreasonable right OF
eminent domain, by discriminating
against the people of the intermoun-
tain states to the benefit of the port
cities.
No Railroad Testimony
The railroads presented no testi-
mony at the Reno hearing, all of
heir testimony having been intro
luced at the hearing in Chicago.

An official list issued tonight con-

A report issued by the Indian ofice
tonight concerning the situation at
Malabar deals mainly with the move
ment Of bodies of troops to the dis
turbed area. 1t also includes COM
munication from the district magis-

origin of the trouble.
According to this magistrate, says
the report. he received information or
the existence of a number OF war
knives in Tirurangadi in cOntraven-
tion of the Malabar offensive weapons
act of 1851. Owing to this fact. and
also for the purpose of arresting for
melting to outrage certain persons In

made by this party that determined

made under legal warrants and IN
