AN0ThEk PIONEER GONE
p. NJ. Palmer of Paradise,
D.ed Suddenly Saturday

A message was received over the
telephone late Saturday evening an
nouncing the sudden death at his home
in Paradise valley of P. NJ. Palmer.
County Commissioner Carl E. Havi-
land, grandson of the deceased, accom-
panied by his family, left early yes
terday morning for Paradise. in re-
sponse to the announcement. Par
ticulars as to Mr.. Palmer's death could
not be obtained today, further than
that he died suddenly while sitting in
his chair, reading. and it is supposed
from heart trouble. The news created
much surprise here, for while Mr..
Palmer is we'll advanced in years, be-
ing we'll up in the seventies, he has al
ways enjoyed good health, and gave
promise of living many years.
The deceased was an old settler in
Humboldt county. and was one of
the very first to take up government
land in Paradise valley. In all Me-
vada there was not more highly re-
spected or upright citizen than he.
By nature and habit he was temper
ate, honest and honorable in all things.
He was honored and loved by his
neighbors, and enjoyed the esteem OF
every one who knows him. For many
years he was an earnest, active mem
Der of the Methodist church of Para
disc.
From what is learned here. it Is sup
posed that the funeral would be held
this afternoon. and the services were
doubtless held from the Methodist
church in Paradise. Of which Rev.
W. A. Fortner is the pastor.

HOW NEWLANDST TAX
LAW WORKS
Calls for Chinese LdbOrerS
for County Officers in
Storey County

state examiner Bartlnef acllng IN
his official capacity, met with the Of
ficials of Storey county the other even
passed by the efforts of Senator New
lands at the last session of the legis-
.ature. compelling a gradual reduc-
tion in the county tax rate.
Sheriff Quirk, in his capacity of ex-
officio assessor, said that while the
new revenue law might operate salts
factorily in counties where there are
varied industries and the present as
sessed valuation is far below its ac-
.ual value, except that owned by rail
road companies, is now assessed on d
oasis of three times its actual value
and a raise to an extent that would
produce the necessary revenue for To-
cal government expenses through a
reduction of the present rate of the
tag levy, would involve the county in
innumerable suits against taxpayers
who would refuse to pay on valua-
tion several hundred per cent above
che market value of their property.
District Attorney Pyne remarked
that it was the general impression
that the law was passed for the spec
ial purpose of cinching Storey county
which is up against it with no present
means in sight of relieving the situ-
alton. Mr.. Bartine also said that he
did not see how any one could have
motive in injuring Storey county,
and that he did not think that such
was the case.
The entire law is a plain job A
few years ago Mr.. Newlands was a
fierce taxation reformer He believed
Ia making the Central Pacific rail-
road and other big corporations pay
their just proportion of the burden OF
state government. Since then, how
ever, he has been taken into the rail-
road camp, body and soul, and In
their interests solely, secured the pas
sage of the taxation law now on the
statutes, which will result in con-
tinued higher valuations for all small
property owners, and decreased pay
ments on the part OF the Central Pa
cific.
The News fought the bill upon it's
introduction, and cited Storey county
a. an example of what the effect of
the measure would be- 1t called up
Oh the Storey county newspapers, ir-
respective of politics, to warn their
readers of the purpose and effect of
the measure. Unfortunately they did
not see fit to do so. and we have no
doubt that the Storey county delega-
ton voted solldly in favor of the pas
sage of the act. In an interview with
the News, Mr.. Newlands stated that
storey county was governed extrava-
gantly and would have to come down
10 it-in other words he proposed
that Storey county should get alons
OH about two-thirds of its present
revenue.
All that will be necessary to COM
ply with the Newlands law and TO
please the Master, Will be for the peo-
pie of Storey to employ Chinese lab
orers to fill the county offices at $40
per month.-Carson News.

Man Suspected of Blowing Up
Mine in Colorado Is Under
Arrest

Los Angeles, Dec. 13-John E. Chand
Ter has been arrested on a telegram
from Sheriff Andrews Sanberg. or
Idaho Springs, Colo, requesting Sher-
iff White to arrest and hold him until
an officer could be sent from Colorado
to take him back.
II is alleged that Chandler was the
leading spirit among the striking min
ers who are suspected of participating
in the disturbances which followed
the breaking out of the strike in the
Idaho Springs district. Chandler re-
fuses to make any statement and de-
clares that he will resist any effort to
take him back to Colorado for trial.
The Colorado authorities notified Sher-
lff White that an officer has already
started for this city to secure the ex-
tradition of the prisoner.
is CHARGED WITH ARSON.
Denver, Colo, Dec. 13.-John E..
Chandler, who has been arrested at
Los Angeles was financial secretary
of the Idaho Springs Miners union at
the time of the blowing up of the Sun
and Moon mine transformer house. He
was suspected of knowing something
of the explosion and soon after it hap
pened fled from Idaho Springs to Den-
yer, and was here for several days.
He disappeared on the day the police
discovered where he had been staying.
Descriptions of the man together with
stories of the explosion were sent
broadcast
The charges against Chandler in the
warrant sworn out at Idaho Springs
were arson and conspiracy to commit
arson and the blowing up of the Sun
and Moon transformer house.
1t is probable that an officer will be
sent for Chandler at once. He fled
from Denver August 3rd.
