J. Pullman of Elko is frst-class in
every respect, and was erected for
an undertaking parlor, but he has
since concluded that he will erect
a brick building in the near future
and the above building was sold
by Mr.. Pullman and is now used
for a saloon.
Tie Horton Company are hav-
ing a brick warehouse built back
of their store. The building is
80 feet in length and 30 feet in
width and is a we'll adapted build
ing for the purpose in view. An
ice house is also connected with
the warehouse.
Besides the many new buildings
erected, a great deal of work has
been done in the way of additions
to old structures.

bitches to be
Taxed.

The decision arrived at by Judge
Jones in the action of the Spanish
Spring Valley Ditch Company
against Washoe county will be of
vital interest to owners of ditch
property in the county. Accord
ing to the judgment, every ditch is
assessable property, and is not
classed in with the general i'm
provements. This will n~ecessitate
a vast amount of new work for the
assessor next Spring, for there are
bitches all through the county
that have never been taxed, and
the value of these irrigation chan
nels is nc small item. The ques-
ton has long agitated those who
were aware of the proposition in
view to make this kind of improve
ment distinct and separately taxed.
From now on there will be a no.
ticeable increase in the amount of
taxable holdings in the county,
and shareholders in the numerous
bitches will have to go down a lit
tie deeper in their pockets when
taxes become due next year.-Reno

Admission Day.

Last Thursday was Admission
Day. Thirty even years ago, just
before the close of the Civil War,
President Lincoln issued a procla-
nation, dated October 31st, de-
claring that the Estate of Nevada
is admitted to the Union on an
equal footing with the original
States" ETC., and Nevada has ever
since been known as the Battle
born State"
Nevada is also known as the
Silver State, or the Sagebrush
State, and the first nickname
given it after it was admitted to
the Union was "The Sage-Hen-
State" Nevada is a Spanish word,
sig~nifying snow-covered. So our
little State, in population, and
great in territory and resources, is
covered with many things, includ-
ing some glory, silver, sagebrush,
snow and sagehens, to say nothing
about the saints, suckers and sar-
dimes who shuttle over the surface
and shout and shoot "hotstuf" in
to the moving caravan of civiliza-
ton.
The State of Nevada was made
up of a part OF California, former
ly known as 'the Washoe coun-
try" and a large area from Utah.
When Nevada was admitted as a
member of the Federal Union, the
State convention was held at SO
late a period of the year that it was
necessary to telegraph the Consti-
tuition, in order that it might be
received at Washington in time to
secure the admission of the State
previous to the Presidential elec-
ton. The vote of the State ct the
election was 1920.

TERMS.
Evidences of Pros
perity.

Notwithstanding that we are en-
joying a very pleasant Fall, old
gloomy Winter has served notice
that he will soon be with us again.
It is to be hoped that his coming
visit will be a short one and not be
hard on us as compared with the
hard Winter Of $500, which de-
posted immense bodies of snow
upon our mountain ranges, reach
ing in great depth to the valleys
below.
Already the mountain peaks
around town have been capped
with some of the beautiful" A
moderate Winter is much wished
for by our stockmen and miners,
as it brings prosperity to both of
these great interests. Neverthe-
less, we of eastern Nevada have no
reason to complain, as the prevail
ing activity has reached our county
the past few months and given us
somewhat of a "boost.'
Lander county, and our town in
particular, has been prosperous
beyond our most sanguine expec-
tations. We note great improve
ments in all parts of our town.
New buildings are being erected
and old ones reconstructed. There
have been erected during the past
few months several new buildings
which would do credit to a much
larger town.
Among the new buildings erected
in Battle Mountain during the
past two years we note the follow
ing:
Mrs. L. D. Huntsman erected .
very pretty residence adjoining
the Capitol Hotel, where she en-
joys the comforts of her cozy little
home. She also has some nice
furnished rooms which are well ar
ranged for the travelling public.
s. G.. Broyles has a pretty home
like cottage, which is erected neal
the school house.
Herman Paulsen has moved his
residence from back of his store to
q lot below Blossoms blacksmith
shop. He has made many i'm
provements thereon, built for COM
fort and convenience and have a
nice little home.
The brick residences erected by
F. A. Limbaugh and L. Solomon
are indeed stylish and elegant
homes and adds much to make the
town attractive. Artesian wells
have been sunk by these gentle
men and good flows have been en-
countered. MI. Limbaugh has a
large number of trees growing
around his home which sets his
place off very nicely. Mr.. Sol
ONION intends to adorn his home
with trees next Spring. These
gentlemen are comfortably situa-
ted and possess beautiful resi-
dences.
Our enterprising merchant, A.
d. Lemaire, is always up with the
times, and seeing the need of more
houses to supply the long felt want,
Is erecting two very pretty cot
tages on his lots in the lower end
Of town.
Again does our street present a
creditable appearance, a number
of good substantial buildings TAX
ing the place Of the frame struct-
ures that we're destroyed by fire
some years ago. The brick build
ings erected by A. d. Lemaire, w.
d. Addington and DIR. Hood would
do credit to a large town.
