Some time ago the Southern Pacific
Company filed with the Public Ser
vice Commission an application to
change the time of its train "a between
San Francisco and Nina for connec-

test against tie proposed schedule,
which protest has since been filed
with the commission. 1t is the view

accorded 24-hour service, although
they have not indicated schedule they
would consider satisfactory.
The entire matter is set for hearing
at the offices of the Public Service
Commission of Nevada on September
l9, 1922, at 1880 a. m, when and
where all interested parties may be
heard.
The Yerington Commercial Club has
protested the application of the Cop
