CHAMBER HEARS
SCOTCH CARMAN
Glasgow Man Gives lnfor-
nation on City Lines

Members OF tho Chamber OF Com.
merce heard some striking first.hnnd
testimony on the value OF municipal
ownership OF street railways Friday
afternoon when James Dalrymplc,
general manager OF tho Glasgow
tramways. addressed tho weekly
council.
The Glasgow system. first operated
in "a. has grown steadily from the
time OF its inception, Dalrymple Sold

ranks next to London's in the United
Kingdom. During all that period Dial.

Ho declared so successful has

British cities that II is universally
accepted by the people that such &c.
tiyities should bo In the hands OF the
municipalities
Glasgow started out with a capital
debt small as compared TO that in.
CURED in Seattle, Dalrymple told his
audience. 1t was rapidly cut down,
and finally wiped completely out in
1917. Now the system has no inter.
est and no sinking fund charges to
pay. The speaker advised Seattle to
retire its bonds as fast as possible.
even tho this course meant high fares
for time, SO al TO be In condition
to give the most efficient service for
the minimum of cost to the rider.
Dalrymple said Glasgow was con.
tinually extending its lines. and that
he favored long routes.
He went on to explain. however.
that the Scotch city has a
zone fare system under which, UP 10
1920, person could ride for /. 2,
or more cents. according to the length
Of the trip. The Importance OF this
short haul business thus developed
he stressed with the statement that
the 1-cent fares constituted 60 per
cent OF the total business. and that
the 3-cent and more costly rides were
a negligible factor.

A. A. MARSHALL, PIONEER
LAID TO REST TODAY

A. A. Marshall, resident Of this
section of Nevada for more than fifty
years, died Sunday last at the home
of his niece, Mrs. Olivia Marshal!
Lynch, at Hollywood, California. Mr.
Marshall was stricken with paralysis
several months ago, from which he
partially recovered and then left for
California, hoping that change OF

ever, almost Immediately after ar
irving at his destination he suffered
from another stroke, from which he
failed to recover.
The deceased was native of In
diana, aged about IS years. After
leaving home as a very young man
he first located iii Kansas, where he
spent several years before coming
farther west. He located in White
Pine county about fifty years age
and engaged in mining and various
other enterprises. When the Span
ish-American war came on he was
among the first to volunteer his serv-
iSSo iioai tHl;S SeSttOu, dIu With the
Nevada troops he was sent to the
Philippines. where he made record
for efficiency and bravery.
Soon after returning home he was
married at Lane City and then
moved to Ely, which continued to be
his home until the time of his death.
He was successful in financial way
and about seventeen years ago erect
ed one of the best residences in Ely.
The remains of the old pioneer of

NEVADA STATE OFFICIAL
CHOSEN FOR HIGH PLACE

Carson City, Dec. 26.-Word has just
reached Carson City that Chairman J.
F. Shaughnsssy of the Public Serv-
ice Commission of Nevada has been
appointed for the year 1924 a member
of the executive committee of the Ma
tional Association of Railroad and
Utilities Commissioners.
The national association is compos-
ed of the members of the various state
railroad and public service commits
sion as well as members of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. It's ef-
forts for several years have been most
effective and far reaching in the mat
ter of regulation of railroads and
utilities in the interests of the public.
Chairman Shaughnessy was unable
TO attend the annual convention of the
national association recently held at
Miami, Florida, principally because of
the general policy of the present state
administration in the interest of
economy. Of particular interest at the
of the report of the committee on rail
road rates and that portion of it which
was drafted by Chairman Shaughnessy
at Carson City, looking to the placing
of water carriers under the jurisdic-
tion of the interstate commerce COM
mission to the extent that rail carriers
are now subject thereto. This is now
of vital Importance in view of the fact
that the interstate commerce commits
sion is confronted with an application
on the part of the transcontintntal car
rers to again apply back haul charges
for the purpose of meeting the social
ed intercoastal water competition. The
position taken by Nevada and other
intermountain states is that they
should have as good rate as
that named to farther distant Pacific
coast points. One of the first bills in
troduced at the present session OF
congress has to do with the matter and
is known as Senate Bill No. 1877, intro
duced December by Senator Gooding.
That the ability and accomplish
ments of Chairman Shaughnessy are
appreciated from a nationwide stand
point is evidenced by the letter ad-
yising him of his appointment and in
which William B. Ainey, first vice
president and chairman of the execu-
tive committee says:
II am highly gratified that President
Taylor has appointed you a member
of the executive committee of the ma
tional association.
CAS- chairman of the committee for
the ensuing year, shall very much ap-
preciate the opportunity for close con-
tact with you, and invite your sugges-
tions ard advice
Responsibility of considerable mo-
ment will rest on the shoulders of this
committee and our combined efforts
and closest cooperation is needed. The
membership of that committee, as Sc
lected by our president, gives assur-
ance to the association that it will be
a wide-awake and energetic body.
Il shall appreciate it as privilege
if you will keep me advised as to the
matters requiring executive considera-
fion -

Carson City, Dec. 27.-Nevada play

the greatest of all holidays and no
where within her boundaries was the
spirit of benevolence more pronounc

Carson City, where Santa Claus park
cd his reindeers Christmas eve and
brought good cheer to the hearts Of
the los loveable orphans.
From the tree, aglow with tinsel and

son radiated in the form of gifts most
useful as we'll as the stockings bulg'
ing with candy and nuts all SO neces

Christmas has a greater significance
than that of joyous holiday.
Doubtless no other place in the state
afforded such setting for the true
exemplification of charity, beneyolence
and peace on earth to all mankind as
did the State Orphans Home. There
gathered together were los children
ranging from those just taken from
the breast of fond and loving mother
decreed by fate to watch over her
young only from her home in heaven
to those who have spent practically
their school years in the home and
are row about to embark upon the
world OF the latter it may we'll be
said that they are generally well equip
ped to battle with the rugged prob
lens of life. They have received a
training and education which would
have been denied them where they
were, by the cold waves of the world
swept upon barren shores and stripped
Of parental care.
