RAILROAD EXECUTIVES AND
 CONTROLLERS DECIDE THAT
 FREIGHT RATES ARE ALRIGHT "Fine Body of Men" Picked to Look Into Matter By National c. of C. Decides They and Their
 Charges Are Really Beneficial

That freight rates as a whole are not an undue burden or stifing influence on commerce is evidenced by the heavy carloadings on our railways this year. For several months each week has pro dueed 1oadings in excess of those re ported for any corresponding period in past years, and the record for all time has been broken time and again"
 This, however, Is not taken to pre- clude rate changes, and the committee holds that certain readjustments are necessary.
 .Since the World War" the report continues, and particularly since early 1920, fhere have again been wide changes in the relative price levels of commodities. Some products have changed comparatively little in price, while other articles. have fallen until they have reached prices at or near pre-. factured goods, because of. high labor costs and because of the possibility of adjusting output to market demand, com mand high prices, while many farm pro ducts, especially hdes and hogs and grain large output and the reduced demand abroad, have gone practically to the pre- war price levels or even below.
 "'The changes in price relationships do not appear to have been caused, to any considerable extent, by transportation charges nor by increases or decreases in those charges. The changes havt been due to economic forces, national and international in scope, and freight rates that may formerly have been satisfactorily to shippers and carriers alike may, by reason of the changed price levels, have been thrown out and equitable adjustment.

FOUR FOOTED BANDITS
HOLD UP RESIDENCE

A Silver City resident is reported
to be facing an acute emergency,
and as result of which he has
been driven from his house and
home by band of invaders, the
unwelcome guests refusing to de-
part by the usual persuasive meth
DDS, and eviction by force seems
hardly prudent. During his absence,
family of skunks came down from
the hills nearby and finding entrance
unopposed, took possession of the
house, and finding it comfortable
and homelike took up their abode
there and have since held out
against all Corners. At last accounts
the owner decided to try extreme
measures, and was preparing pois-
oned food to tempt the bandits to
their fate. In the meantime, any,
one desiring a household pet of this
description, should put in their ap-
pication NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. City

attending to matters at Elko came
on to Eureka. He stated that the

offered by the middlemen buyers
had cleared this rather trying situa-

were not worrying now. He be-
