BORING TUNNEL
Engineers inspect Horse Shoe
Bend Near Iruckee

The Journal is boring hole through
the Sierras again, as witness the follow
ing dispatch from Truckee, which it pub
fishes with startling headlines:
From a source that can be relied upon
the Journals correspondent can state
that work on boring the big tunnel
through the Sierra Nevada mountains is
to begin within the next sixty days.
For weeks past preparations for this
move have been in progress. Several
days ago one of the chief engineers of
the Southern Pacific Company was here
ana took trip into the hills. Yesterday
E. w. Goldwaite and r. w. Stewart
two of the prominent engineers In the
employ of the company, arrived in
Truckee. They spent several hours IN
the vicinity of Horseshoe pend. returning
to Truckee in the afternoon.
Horseshoe bend is the point where the
tunnel survey enters the mountains.
AS result of their visit one piece of
news is given out to the effect that a
sidetrack is to be constructed at the
bend. The only use for a sidetrack at
this point would be for supply trains for
carrying out the companys tunnel plans.
Tonight, however, the engineers refuse
| to discuss this matter, neither denying
nor confirming the alleged cause of Their

GOLDF|ELD HAS
ITS FIRST FIRE
Bank Building is Wrecked and
Others are Badly
Damaged

BY the explosion of lamp. Tuesday
night, beside the safe in the Nye and
Ormsby county bank in Goldfeld, that
building is in ruins, the ]. D. Lothrop
Companys stock of groceries is half de-
stroyed and Bob Dunn's saloon is badly
damaged.
The fire occurred at II 80. When the
alarm was given fully two thousand
men and women gathered on the street.
In this very heart of the city. flames
seemed to threaten the entire business
section of Goldfield
Fortunately the pressure in the water
pipes was all that could be asked and the
hose streams directed against the flames
did excellent work.
The principal damage was to the bank
building and fixtures. Every window
pane was broken. All the furniture and
interior woodwork was charred and
blackened and about the only article that
was not damaged to any extent was the
safe
Lothrop's store, adjoining the bank on
the south. was a heavy sufferer, the
flames breaking through the wall in the
grocery department. running immense
quantities of valuable merchandise.
The flames also broke into Bob Dunn's
| saloon, doing considerable damage there.
| When the fire started there was large
quantity of gasoline, about dray wagon
| load, in front of the store This was i'm
mediately thrown into the middle of
Main street by the men who came there
to help fight the fire. Thus terrific
explosion was averted and also probao.e
loss of life prevented.
| This is the first fire of any consequence
| that has visited Goldfield. The loss was
about $4,000 There was no insurance.

RIGHT OF WAY
Secured by Western Pacific
Through PIumas County

The speed with which the Western Pa
cific is procuring rights of way through
Plumas county is one strong indication
that construction work is soon to be-
gin, says dispatch from Quincy. With
in the past week the following persons
have sold or given a right of way to the
company:
Julia F. Huntley, A. E. Bulson and
Dedmon Bros, in Sierra Valley; b. F.
Chandler, II. I. G.. Johnson and l.. B.
and e. H. Hartwell, American Valley.
1t is rumored several other rights of
way have been procured or are being ne
gotiated. Thus far only two condemna-
ton suits have been commenced.
That the construction work will soon
begin lis a foregone conclusion. and the
logic of the situation is that one of the
first tasks to be entered upon will be the
boring of the 1900 foot tunnel at the
head of Spring Garden Valley.
1t is also quite certain that work will
begin on the stretch from Oroville to
Beckwith Pass long before II does or
the reach from Salt Lake this way, for
the reason that it will require nearly 8
year longer to complete the Sierra
mountain section than the other parIs
of the projected road. BY this means
the entire line will be completed all a
about the same time

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT.

The census bureau at Washington
gave out few days ago the figures it
has collected on the actual and assessed
valuation of the railroads of the coun-
try by states. These figures were pub
lished in the State Journal. and they
afford a great object lesson on the sub
ject of railroad taxation.
One interesting fact brought out is
that in actual valuation of railroad
property Kansas stands seventh in the
list of states. Pennsylvania. New York,
Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota and Indiana
are the only ones that excel her.
The actual or commercial valuation
of railroad property in Kansas is $780,
365. 900. according to these government
figures. Indiana is nearer the Kansas
figure than any other state. 1t has
1916, 541 900 worth of railroad property.
The figures on railroad assessment
given by the bureau are by percentages,
so that comparisons by states can be
easily made. The great majority of
states assess railroad property far high
er than does Kansas. No state east of
the Mississippi, with the single exception
of West Virginia, lets the railroads off
as easily as does Kansas.
Kansas, according to this government
report assesses the railroads at 169 per
cent of their actual commercial value.
This figures out a little more than $780,
100000. Thirty-three states given in the
list assess higher than Kansas, and a
number are not given. Iowa is just
about the same as Kansas. In Indiana
the assessed valuation is 44.2 of the act
ual value Thus Kansas collects taxes
from the railroads on a basis of a little
more than $50, 100000 valuation, while
Indiana collects on basis of $165, $780,,
122, although the actual value is about
the same.
This in itself, however, does not prove
that the railroads have so much the
best of it. That fact is shown by the
relation between the assessed value of
railroads and other property.
For instance, in Kansas, railroads
are assessed at just about one-sixth of
their actual value. Other property is
supposed to be assessed at one-third
of its value, taking the state as a
assessed at one-half of its actual
value.
Some counties assess as low as one
fourth actual value, but SO far as the
State Journal knows, there are none
that assess as low as the railroads are
assessed, at one-siXth.
These figures ought to be taken into
consideration the next time the Kan
sas board of railroad assessors adjusts
the assessments of the railroads. The
railroad assessments apparently ought
to be doubled
