Tuesday having visited all the places
in the County in which liquors were
disposed of in the capacity of collect
ing the State Liquor license which
went into effect the first of July. Re-
tail dealers have to pay a yearly
license of $50 and wholesale of $4,000
while Druggists are taxed $12. AS
the Fiscal year ends on the 31st
of December, only half year was
collected. He reports having collected
from about 80 retailers, seven whole
salers and seven druggists, over $4,000,
as this represents only a half year.
Lincoln County will contribute under
the new law to the State a year, over

law has certainly been enforced.
Where many horses were seen last
season that is not a loose one on the
street and the owners realize that they
have to keep them home.
While the law was intended for the
general benefit of the public at large.

There has been enough seed scattered

should the loose stock be kept off the
streets another year there will be an
other ordinance compelling the resi-

The growth is not confined to any
particular quarter of this CITY but can
be found in nearly every portion.
In the good old times Sheriff Swift
hired sheep herder to drive his
fiocks through the city for a day or
two and managed to get rid of the

From the present condition it seems
that sanething of the same nature
will have to be resorted to in order

WANTS THE TRUCKER.
California investor Lays Claim to the
Whole Thing.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Murray
+. Vandall asserts that he is prac-
tically the lord of the Truckee rive,
and he appealed to the Superior Court
to support his claim. Suit was begun
here yesterday by his attorneys, Cool
fellow & Eells, to prevent Edward
Malley from interfering with Van
dall's alleged own/ship.
The complaint states that the
Truckee river takes its rise at Lake
Tahoe, and that the flow into it from
the lake is regulated by large dam
with movable gates and other appur-
tenances. On October z3, 1902, Van
dali bought, for $4,000 from the DON
ner Lumber and Boom Company a
tract of forty four acres in Placer
county, including the location of this
dam. He states that the object in
purchasing it was to obtain the owner
ship and control of the dam, and that
he might have the right and power to
regulate the flow of water into the
Truckee
Judge Trout granted a temporary
restrainable order returnable next
Friday, prohibiting Malley from pro-
ceeding with the work.
