Calamity For Railroads
After declaring that the recent
10 per cent reduction in freight
rates by the Interstate Commerce
Commission was a calamity for
the railroads.. Mr.. Lewis expressed
the opinion that it will also prove
a calamity to the shipping public.
1.-THE railroads have again been
put on a starvation diet, with no
money@to repair cars or tracks or
the thousand and one other things
that they should have been per-
mitted sufficient revenue to i'm
ance," Mr.. Lewis declared.
pending the effective date Of the
reduction, July /, the traffic of the
country is partly frozen" he eX-
planned, adding that nothing is
being shipped that a wait until
after July l in order that the
benefit of the 10 per cent reduc-
ton may be, obtained
AS a result of this condition,
Mr.. Lewis continued the railroads
expect to nov the business for.
part of May and all and June and
July during the month Of July.

behalf of his committee and on
behalf of the Monongahe1a Valley
Association and our application was
filed with the Central Freight As
ISOLATION and Trunk Line commit
tees on Tuesday of this week.
Opposed by Other Lines
81 am sorry to say that the same
connecting lines who concurred IN
our first proposal have refused to
concur in this one, and we fear
that great opposition will develop.
1 am inclined to the belief that it
would have been much better If
the original proposition had been
accepted for 1 feel sure that It
would have been quickly concurred
in by all the interested lines. I
said before that the publication of
the rates, if made on our original
proposition, would have been a
comparatively short and simple
manner but MT. Watson's com
mittee not only had a mind to
work but had a mind to see other
people work for the revised propo-
sition involves working Out the
mileage from 80 points to about
5, 900 base point via every available
route in order to get the short line
mileage.
Complicated Scale
IF the short line were known be-
fore we started this simple little
job will entail the calculation OF
100000 mileage, but as it is not
this 10000 must be multiplied by
the number of available routes.
This would mean more than ten
years work for one man. How
ever, We expect to have at least
two men on the Job. Some Of you
may have seen the detailed figures
of our proposal but whether you
nave or whether you have not, 4

mended by the Interstate Com.
merce Commission in their. recent
decision in the general rate case
Mr. Lewis also reviewed the
rates to southern points, which are
not included in the recent agree
ment% of the railroad A hearing
on the southern rates is being held
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in Atlanta, he explained,
adding that Sit looks as though
the hearing will last the better
part of the year for it is already
scheduled up to November 20 and
no time has yet been provided Tor
rebuttal testimony" The propo-
sal submitted to the commission
he said, however, will reduce the
rates from Fairmont quite little.
He then cited several examples OF
the reductions, showing that the
first class rate from Fairmont to
Atlanta will be decreased from
$2.435 to $2.12. to Chattanooga
from S2.O65 to $1.83 and to Biz
mingham from $2.4S5 to $2.12.
"Your. secretary also asked me
to say something with respect to
the rates within West Virginia
Mr.. Lewis continued. "As you
may know, the West Virginia com
mission has been holding a series
of hearings on the West Virginia
intrastate rates. Many of them
are admittedly wrong and the car
riers are earnestly trying to-fx
them. I have already tried your
patience with a lot of detail that
know is wearisome to anyone that
does not have to deal in freight
rates. SO I will only say with res
pect to the West Virginia rates
that they will be reduced in the.
same manner and at the same
time as the interstate.

tons are finally adjusted and put
in tariff form Fairmont will have

GENERAL CLEAN UP OF
BOOTLEGCERS AT MClLL

For some time past complaints
have been registered with Sheriff
Nicholson in regard to the activities
of hip-pocket bootleggers operating
at McGill. Recently conditions be-
came SO bad that from fifty to
seventy-fve men failed to show up
for work on their regular shifts.
hence it became apparent that 1t
would be necessary to take radical
measures in order to continue oper-
atoms on an economic basis. 1t has
been found here, as in almost every
other section of the United States,
that it is a very difficult matter to
catch the bootleggers with the
goods" and without positive evil
dence against him there is little to
be accomplished by his arerst and a
trial in court. However. conditions
which had existed at McGill for
some time apparently justified the
sheriff in taking drastic action,
and so he rounded up seven or
eight of the most prominent hip
pocket bootleggers Of McGill and
told them to get out of the camp
or they would be prosecuted for
vagrancy, and they all complied
with the order. since that time ii
is said that sobriety prevails at the
smelter city.-Ely Record.

Ely Improving
Notwithstanding that Ely has
been rather dull for the holiday sea-
son the fact remains that there are
now more men employed in the dis
trict than for several years and the
payroll is being steadily increased at
both the mines and smelter, which
assures a brighter future. A con-
siderable number of men now en-
ployed have not been long in the
district and therefore have not had
time to accumulate spending money,
while those who remained here dur
ing the closedown have been busy
paying off Indebtedness since re-
Stunning work and are still short of
ready money. At the present time
there are probably seventeen hun
dred men steadily employed. and
after they have had time to &C
cumulate a little money, business
conditions in Ely will materially
improve. 1t takes time to recover
from a long period of idleness, but
as the payroll is steadily increasing
business conditions may be expected
to improve steadily.-Ely Record.

ELY SHUTS DOWN
SOFT DRINK MEN

AT meeting of the city council
neld Tuesday evening Mayor Gallag-
her refused to give his sanction to
the granting of license for an
other soft drink parlor to be estab-
lished on the corner of Autlman and
Mill streets. The mayor stated that
In his opinion there were already
plenty of soft drink places in Ely
to supply the wants of the COM
munity. In fact, he stated that he
did not see how they could get by
without bootlegging and breaking
the law. and he was of the opinion
that most of them were doing that
very thing. An inquiry was made
by a member of the council as to
the right of the city to refuse to
grant license, to which City At
torney Lockhart replied that a
license could be cancelled at any
time for various reasons. Council
man West stated that he was in
clined to back the mayor in his
stand against issuing another soft
drink license. He stated that the
proprietors of the present soft
drink places were hardly getting by,
and anyhow he thought it was to
the best interest of the community
not to have another opened at the
place designated in the license. He
thought that if the parties wishing
to engage in that line of business
should purchase some establishment
already in operation. Councilman
McKernan and Russell also agreed
with the stand taken by the mayor,
hence the application for a license
was not granted. This is the first
time in the history Of the city that
a license has been refused, although
licenses have been cancelled for
various reasons, principally because
the houses were not properly con-
Quoted. The position taken BY
Mayor Gallagher that there are al.
ready a sufficient number of soft
drink establishments will be ap
proved by present proprietors Of
such places, who are now. as Coun
Gilman West states, BARELY getting
by."-Ely Record.

SAD ENDING OF

Indian Sam, who is said to be at
least 100 years of age by old-timers
at Ely who have known him for DO
years, passed away at his wickup IN

years subsisted principally on scraps

rants and from garbage cans. lie

his hard lot. Saturday an lndiar

GARAGE BECOMES
LADEN WITH A
DEADLY GAS
Bill Settlemeyer Wins Out in Strue.
gle Against Effects of Carbon
Dioxide Fumes in Closed
Garage at Elko

Realization that Father Time was
cutting too close with his scythe for
personal comfort, caused Bill Settle
meyer to depart from the immedi-
ate vicinity of threatened death,
yesterday morning. and today Bill
is humorously relating his expert
ence. He admits. though, at 8
O'Clock yesterday morning he failed
to view the situation as funny
one, says the Elko Independent.
Bill, upon finishing his breakfast
yesterday, went to the garage at
the rear of the Jim Green residence
in this city to get his car. A tire
was fiat, and Bill. to kill two birds
with one stone, essayed to change
the tire and at the same time warm
up his engine.
With the engine developing car
bon-monoxide gas, the interior of
the garage became as dangerous to
human life as the proposed lethal
gas chamber that awaits Hughie
Sing.
Bill continued his work with the
tire, and the engine purred smoothly.
Bill finished Tightening the last
bolt on the tire rim, when dizziness
over came him. Realizing that
carbon monoxide, a colorless. orod-
less gas, had filled the garage, Bill
started for the door. He says that
only his tenacity for life and de-
termination to keep going held him
to his feet until he reached the
door.
His entire capacity for moving
had been expanded by the time he
had reached the door and with Q
final effort, he turned the knob ant
swung outward. In the fresh air
it was but a few moments before
he had revived sufficiently to wall
about.
The reaction from the gassini
came in the form of an excessive
perspiration, which laster for owe
two hours. The only other effec
of the unusual experience was |
splitting headache that continues
throughout the day, Bill says.
Bill says that the automobile di'
not give off smoke from the exhaus
pipe as cars usually do during tn
warming up process, and there wa
not the biting, acrid character t
the gas that is generally present i
combustion products given off b
the cars exhaust. He says he
satisfied that another minute in tn
gas-laden atmosphere of the tight
closed garage would have term
mated abrutly his career on TIL
mortal sphere.
