completion of its large new working
3haft to a point 30 feet below the
elevation of the lowest level in the

Resignation of Z. A. Simon as
general manager was also announced
and the appointment Of Jos. F.

the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
Company during the period of its
greatest activity, to fill the vacancy
C. d. Kaeding, vice president and

CONVINCING ARGUMENTS FOR
THE GASOLINE TAX LAW
February 5, 1923.

Editor Carson News:
It was generally conceded that a
tax on gaseous and volatile fuel of
approximately two cents per gallon
Is the most equitable and practicle
means so far suggested of raising
the additional revenue necessary for
further meeting the ever increas-
ing demands of our transportation
problems.
The so-called gasoline tax has
been so universally approved by
everyone who has made an i'm
partial investigation that it would
be superfiuous for me to discuss its
many merits.
In Nevada its Importance is more
manifest. Your readers will recall
that under the graduated scale of
federal aid for public land states"
the secretary of agriculture has APP
proved a differential in favor of
Nevada of approximately tn to 1.
Therefore it will readily be per-
ceived that every two cents SO d.
verified into the road fund of Ne
vada has an additional potential
value Of about fifteen cents, making
approximately seventeen cents for
highway Improvement for every gal
Ion consumed.
The deductions should be obvious
to the open-minded.

BRIEF MENTION

A model type farmhouse consist
ing of eight rooms and all modern
city conveniences--intended to keer
the young folks on the farm-has
been built at the South Dakota
Agricultural College at a cost of
$4,000. Its most important feature
consists of an electric light sys-
TEN generated by a gasoline engine,
contributing to the operation of a
vacuum sweeper, cream separator,
churn, a washing machine, floor
lamps, fiatirons and other electric
contrivances. The house contains
large, comfortable rooms, summer
kitchen with sink and drains, septic
tank for sewage disposal, bathroom,
furnace and laundry.
More than $500 persons were
killed by wild animals in India
during the past year.
A new form of life belt which
supports the head of the wearer
clear of the water is a great i'm
provement over the old form of
belt. Women of hysterical tenden-
cies and old people sometimes col
lapse the minute they find them
selves in the water. In this case the
head falls forward or backward, the
mouth open, they drown at once.

S. P. lie ALL RIGHT

The decision of the interstate
commerce commission holding that
the operating control Of the ro,tral
Pacific railroad, by the Southern
Pacific Company shall not be dis
turbed, was to be expected, the SUI
preme court decision to the con-
trary notwithstanding. While the
opinion of the commission is sub
ject to court review, it will no
doubt be final. At least, that is
the way it should be when the ter
ritory served and the interests of
the public are considered. The
Central Pacific is Nevada's trans
continental line, and by new traffic
agreements with the Union Pacific
the most vigorous rival of the
Southern Pacific for Central Pacific
control, greater efficiency than ever
is to be expected, and the heavy
flow of overland travel and ship
ping will continue, with every likeli-
hood chat it will steadily increase
under the new conditions. 1t is a
happy solution of the controversy,
and Nevada will not regret con-
tinued Southern Pacific domination
of this historical and pioneer rail
line.-Virginia City Chronicle.

.ELKO WOOL SOUGHT
|. BY COAST CONCERN.

Elko county sheepmen ar practi-
cally assured higher prices for wool
this year than have been experiences
for many'a day, and that they will
receive even better than the average
this spring, is indicated in a tele-
gram received here by local sheen
man from Ed Staunton, of Staunton
Bros, of San Francisco, one of the
largest buyers of wool on the Pa
cific coast.
The telegram requests the sheen
man, whose spring clip will be one of
the largest in the state, to hold all
his wool for the Staunton Bros. Co.
until representative of that COM
pany arrives. The telegram further
states that the company is willing
to pay top prices for the wool when
the grower is ready to contract the
crop.
In view of the fact that last
years territorial WOOL which has
been stored in warehouses since
last seasons clip, is bringing from
43 to AZ cents per pound, sheepmen
are optimistic regarding the pros
poets of the coming season.--Elko

TRAPPER MAY GET
POISONER OF DOGS

The net is closing on Elkos dog

days, there is a possibility that the
identity of the man who has dealt
death to so many valuable dogs Of

The latest victim is French
trapper, who lives short distance
east of Elko on the Humboldt river.
Last week one of the mans pet
dogs succumbed to poison, which
the dog apparently had eaten while
IN the eastern part of the city.
The poison was apparently cyanide.
The trapper has direct informa-
ton, it is said, that one of two men
poisoned the meat which the ami
NAL ate.
Ever since the death of the trap
per's dog, the man has been work
ing to establish the identity of the
party responsible for the animals

ceived this morning, interesting dis

Of
R. R. MERGER
IS BENEFIT C|AL

A stimulation in railroad business
iseeasily seen in the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
that the Central Pacific shall remain
the property under lease of the
Southern Pacific Company.
The petition of the Southern Pa
cific for control of the Central Pa
cific was granted in full last Satur-
day, although after eleven years
battle the courts had ordered the
two roads separated. However, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
took the view that the decision of
the courts had been consummated
and that they could join the two
roads under the act of 1920.
Commissioner McChord dissented
from the opinion of the Commission,
and others on the Commission set
forth that in consideration of the
granting of the petition that the
S. P. should proceed Immediately
to construct the Natron cut of.
With the Southern Pacific con-
iirmed in its rights to the C. P, an
with all opposition withdrawn on
The part of the Union Pacific on
account of the fact that the traffic
agreement has ben reached between
the S. p. and the U. p. as to the
routings over the c. p, one of the
railroad questions that has bothered
the west for years is thus settled.
Under the traffic agreement the
freight that logically belongs to the
c. p. will be routed over this line
and this alone will mean heavy in
crease in business. In addition there
will be new construction and i'm
provements that have been held up
pending the decision of the courts
and the Commerce Commission as
to the ultimate control of the C. p.
Another feature enters strongly
at this time and this indicates a
heavier business over the lines of
he G. p. is the reported traffic ar
angements that have been made
between the Southern Pacific and
the Western. Pacific for a joint use
of tracks in the eastern part of the
state, running as far as Winnie
mucca. According to the report
The track of the S. P. will be used
for west bound traffic while the w
p. will be used for east bound
.raffic. This arrangement was made
n the war period but was discon-
tinued thereafter. The heavy bust
ness contemplated demands that
either this arrangement be entered
into or that the S. P. expeni large
sums in double tracking their own
road for the distance.
The probable extension of. the S.
p. into the north is also a promis-
ing factor in the stimulation of
business in this section and would
BRING the northwest nearer Nevada.
Altogether the railroad situation
promises a greater activity than at
my time for years, and this con-
iition will mean a general stimula-
lion of business throughout Nevada.

EDISON GIVES HIS
YEARLY INTERVIEW
HIS SEVENTY-SIXTH BIRTHDAY
CELEBRATED BY WIZARD
WITH INTERVIEW TO
THE PRESS

WEST ORANGE, N. Thomas
A. Edison said today that he had
offered the United States navy
forty-fve inventions since he had
been president of the naval consult
ing board, but that every one of
them had been rejected.
"Navy officers seem to resent
ideas for the betterment of the navy
rather than to welcome them,' he
said.
Proves He's Still Young
The occasion was the electric
wizards annual birthday interview
with news writers He was seveLDs
six years old.
Edison began the interview in his
laboratory office by kicking over his
head to prove his assertion. that he
was still young"
81 am doing more work than
ever" he said. 81 am interesting
myself in business theories as well
rs mechanic and electrical. But !
I'M not spending a fortune on bum
IDEAS. As soon as l see a scheme
S not good discard it,"
College Men and Newspapers
Mr.. Edison jumped nimbly from
INVENTIONS to politics, and as readily
from politics>to flappers, education
nd prohibition.
college men" he said, don't
now is going on. They are too
tense. Newspapers are a great force
md the college boys overlook them.
If | had a paper, I'd put more pop
alar science into it. I'd make the
andidates for jobs fill out a ques-
5ionnaire to see if they know any
| hing. I'd want men with magma
ion. Imagination is a scarce article
coue and Prohibition
docs Coue do any good?" he
was asked.
Eyes, can hand something to
aim. don't think he's fake. He
seems to be in earnest"
"What do you think of prohi-
b.tion?"
"Sober America" he said raising
both hands. "I'm for it by all
means. | know prohibition is a
| failure in the cities, but when wood
,lcohol kills off all the old soaks,
prohibition will have its day. The
boys and girls of the next genera
ton won't have any taste for the
damned stuff"
Make Politicians Pay for Space
1.-The newspapers print too much
scandal" the inventor declared.
We all like a little but | think the
papers overdo it.
"The politicians make suckers out
of the publishers. Why should every
one-horse politician aspirant use up
good print to rant about what he
wants to do?
HE should be made to pay for
The space he uses"
Invent a Helicopter
Whats good in the field of in
vention?" has was asked.
The helicopter-the heavier-than-
air machine that goes straight up.
James Gordan Bennett once gave me
| $1,000 to experiment with one. |
made machine that only weighed
eighty pounds, but / did not do
the trick | seorched my hands and
burned most of the hair off my head
trying to perfect it, but | didn't.
There is great commercial field

Raines and Brite, it will be re-

growing out of the shooting scrape
which resulted fatally to Alta Car

CUTTING EXPENSES

A somewhat radical proposal is
made regarding the holding of cor
oner's inquests and bill may soon
appear in the legislature which
would place a limitation on cor
oner's inquests, providing that in
questions of this character shall be
held only at the request of the dis
trict attorney or sheriff. The object
of the measure is two-fold; first to
reduce expense to the counties;
and second to enhance the ends of
justice by keeping information de-
veloped in criminal investigations
from prematurely getting out
through the medium of public
hearings before coroners. 1t is held
that evidence often brought out at
inquests seriously hampers peace
officers in later Investigations

NARROWING EXPERIENCES

Narrowing experiences" are get
ting to be frequent, or were during
the days of the recent storm, but at
that it is a relative phrase or ex-
preston which has been worked
overtime to convey storm intelli-
gence and near casualties and disas-
tiers. No more had eastern Nevada
read the details of the Dugan
miracle, where young couple bat
tied for forty-eight hours in snow
clothing wet to the hide, without
morsal of food other than the
snow they swallowed to ease their
thirst when the newspapers of Car
son and Reno have narrowing ex-
perience" story all their own. Two
women started from the capital in
a car and got out near Franktown,
beside Washoe lake and the rail
way track and got stalled in the
snow. They pushed and showed
and fretted, yet the car would not
move. 1t was showing and the pair
got wet through. A man in a car
| came and helped shove, but to no
avail. The women were there all of
two hours and when the men tagged
the train and was about to put them
aboard one of them fell exhausted
Headlines said they escaped death
narrowly and had a "harrowing ex-
| perience. But when all this is
compared with the Dugan's forty
eight hours battle with storm, snow
and death, winning after many
falls from hunger, frozen feet and
exhaustion, it is plain at this end
of the line, at least, that the phrase
is relative.-White Pine News.
