Only two days ago a prominent realty owner of Yerington, who has several saloon tenants, was approached by a who remarked: I suppose you like idea of having a lot of empty buildings on your hands, now that we have prohibition?" The reply was: Nothing doing, so far as I am concerned. Every building of mine now rcupied by a saloon has been spoken for by some one who wants to engage in another Let us not be foolish in harboring the idea that the closing of the saloons going to injure Yerington in a business way.

AdrL WANTS THREE CENT RAILROAD TARES Declaring that the people of Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico are being unjustly discriminated against in the matter of railroad passenger fares, J. F. Shaughnessy, first associate railroad commissioner of this state, has taken the matter up with Edward Chambers, director of traffic of the railroad administration in an effort to secure an adjustment In a letter to Mr. Chambers, Mr. Shaughnessy points out that the fares on the railroads of Utah, Wyoming, Montana.

Idaho and Eastern Washington and Oregon are uniformly three cents a mile, while on the Southern Pacific railroad in Nevada the fares are basically four cents a mile on the main line and five cents on the branch lines. His letter to Mr. Chambers in part is as follows; "As the trunk lines serving these territories operate under practically identical circumstances and condiMons, I believe you conceded that here was no justification for the disriminations in question, and if I reall correctly you stated that you inderstood from a conference you with Garret Fort that an adjustlent would soon be made whereby hree-cent fares would be basically pplied to traffic in Nevada, Arizona nd New Mexico. "As a result of the withdrawal of crip book and round-trip privileges which our people enjoyed prior to government operation, the increase in heir transportation charges ranges torn 25 per cent to 86.4 per cent, and hey are complaining bitterly regardgn the discrimination which is being upon them by the governlent, compared to other sections of he intermountain country. may also state, for your information, that I conferred with Garret run, asninutui uucuui ui uauic, wu two occasions during the summer regarding the matter of this adjustment.

The questions relating to sparsity of population and traffic density were reviewed. While the population in Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico is sparse, it is equally sparse throughout Wyoming and Utah along the lines of the Union Pacific railroad, and the density of traffic covering both interstate and state traffic on practically all of the transcontinental lines is fairly comparable. you kindly advise if the railroad administration will make this adjustment in the near future, or if there are difficulties in the way of such action being taken promptly, will you kindly indicate what they are?

Although a resident of Oregon, he was perhaps best known in Winnemucca, at which place the principal part of his business has been conducted for more than twenty years. He was a man in middle life; a plain, unpretentious, unassuming man; an every-day man, and come rain or shine, always the same; a man to 'trust and tie to. His word was never doubted and never broken. Among and business men no man held a higher place in public esteem or personal respect than Secundo Achabal. As a friend he was true and faithful, and always there.

To his men he was just, gentle and considerate; always thoughtful of others, 'he heavy load was his and he shared their every hardship. Of sterling honesty, he was true and faithful to every trust and obligation of neighbor. citizen and friend. He was beloved as few men are loved; as few men he could be spared; and as few men he will be long and affectionately remembered 3n his death the community loses an exemplary a friend. As in life he was gentle and uncomplaining.

so he was in death. He heard the Call and knew his hour was near, but not a murmur escaped his lips; all hope gone, the Fell Sergeant found him patient, tranquil and without fear, cheerful to the end. He passed into the Silence with the quiet courage of a man that had never wronged his fellow man and had nothing to fear from the Hereafter, whatever this may be. A mother and father in old Spain, with three brothers and a sister here are left to mourn his untimely end many a sad heart, both in Humboldt and Malheur, goes out in sympathy to them. They do not mourn alone.

GOLDFIELD MAN ATTEMPTS SI HTDE; NO REASON GIVEN A1 Samuelson, proprietor qf the Goldfield Club saloon and widely known throughout the southern end of the state, was found in his cabin in Goldfield Thursday with a bullet hole in his head. No reason is known for the act. Doctors at first held out no hope for his recovery, but he is still alive. The bullet entered under the right ear and passed through the head. In the room also was found a note to Charles Gruber and Thomas Dartmouth, disposing of property owned by Samuelson.

Gruber, a friend, was worried about him because of his strange actions, and shortly after noon started to investigate. On his way to the cabin Gruber met James Walsh, who lives across the street. Walsh told him he had heard a loud report and Gruber entered the cabin by breaking open the back door.
