LOS ANGELES Especial Neither
the Transportation Act of 1920 nor
any other law, state or federal, guar
antees any, income whatever to the
railroads, VIM. Sproule, President of
the Southern Pacific Company, pointed
out in an address before the Ameri-
can National Live Stock Association,
which has just completed it's 26tl
annual convention here.
There is no guaranty that any rail
road shall earn even one per cent, :"
said Mr.. Sproule. He showed that
the Transportation Act of 1920 merely
makes a declaration that If any rail-
road happens to earn up to certain

Commerce Commission at 5A% on
the value of the physical property
used for transportation purposes), it
reasonable return"
On Physical Valuation
Stocks and bonds of railroads have
nothing to do with the figure upon
which they are permitted to earn a
reasonable return, if they can, under
economical and efficient management,
Mr. Sproule said.
A railroad may have outside proper
ties, but unless the property is actually
devoted to railroad business it is not
considered in fixing valuation upon
which reasonable return is per-
mitted, the railroad president showed.
Mr.. Sproule reviewed briefly the
war time experiences of the railroads
that loaded them with increased
operating expenses with which they
are still largely burdened. He referred
also to the collapse in business
generally that followed the war. He
continued:
"Gradually this country, with the
pacity for survival and revival that

essive nation, has come up until

so CENT WAGE ADVANCE
ANNOUNCED IN DISTRICT

A wage advance for all employees
OF the Nevada Consolidated Cop
per Company and the Consolidated
Coppermines Corporation whore
wages are computed by the day
went into effect the first of the
week.
A. the same time like increase
was posted at the mines of the
Utah Copper Company, Bingham,
Utah, which is allied with the Ne
vada company. Similar advances
were made recently in Butte.
For several weeks employees of
this district have been negotiating
with the companies for an increase
and at one time it was feared that
1t might not be successful.
Wages here, while commensu-
rate with the former low price of
copper, have not been up to an ay-
erage of industries elsewhere, the
cost of living considered, but with
this advance it will give the en-
ployes heart and have a like effect
in business, where a reflection
never fails to be observed.

CRszEO MAN ATTEMPTS
TO SHOOT DR.. H0VENOEN

joe Williams, an elderly man
who is suspected of being a suffer
er from alcoholic insanity, is in

brought from MeGill Friday for
an attempt on the life of Dr. o.
Hoyenden.
Williams is alleged TO have rap

a pistol against the Doctors abdo-
men and ATTEMPTED to shoot. But
the gun refused to go off and the
physician was not hurt. DIR. How

anee against him.
Williams is said to have been in
a condition of perpetual intoxica-

of court officials and will probably
be examined for his sanity in

WITH HAY NEARLY GONE CATTLE
LOSSES THREATEN TO Be HEAVY

Cattle throughoutWhite Pine coun-
ty will have no more than enough
hay To put the most of them through
the winter. according to reports from
various localities. There will hardly
be ton of hay left when grass comes
and on several ranches there is little
IL any now.
The worst reports come from down
Steptoe valley, where on a few of the
smaller ranches it is learned that
some cattle have died and that others
are so weak that they cannot be
pulled through. Some of the ranch
ers are feeding their last stack and
are getting down to their last load,
so that from now until the snow
leaves cattle that are already
weak will stand poor show indeed
This is the purport of information
brought from there this week by

Green Lake Bridge.

The town of Dedham, which APP
piled for State and county aid in re-
placing the bridge across Mann
brook at the head of Green lake,
asks, through its selectmen, for a
concrete bridge costing about $4,000.
The State highway commissioners
and the county commissioners do not
see it that way.
AT a hearing in Bangor last week,
the three selectmen of Brewer stood
out for the concrete bridge, while the
State highway commissioners and
two county commissioners present,
voted against it. The vote was thus
a tie, and there the matter was
dropped.
After July 7, under law passed
by the last legislature, the State,
county and town will each have one
vote in a case like this, instead Of a
vote for each commissioner and Sc
lectman, as at present AS the next
hearing will be after July Z, it looks
as if Dedham would have to accept
the cheaper bridge, or build the con-
crete bridge at its own expense.
