w. Duke Dead.

All that was mortal of Washing
ton Duke was laid to rest at Dur.
ham, N. c., last Wednesday in the
presence of $4,000 people. He was
85 years old and one of the best
known men in the State. He founded
the great tobacco house, now known
as the American Tobacco Company
which has made him and others i'm.
mensely rich. When the war closed
he had so cents in money, but with
plenty of energy he was soon on the
road to wealth. In few years bis
goods were in great demand all over
the United States, and in few. more
years were being sold the world
over. First and last he has given
one million dollars to Trinity Col.
lege at Durham, and Methodists all
over the State mourn the loss oil
this good man. He was married
twice and leaves large fsmily and
many descendants to mourn his loss.
The floral offerings were probably
the most profuse ever seen in the
State. All business in Durham was
practically suspended for the fun
eral. A special car from New York
brought a number of prominent peo.
pie for the funeral.

Lincoln County
Outraged

District Attorney Benjamin Sanders
who has been stirring up what he
styles the "official ring'' of Lincoln
county for several months, declares
that county is being openly swindled
by the great mining companies that
operate there. They have notoriously
evaded the payment of their bullion
tax, he declares, and he calls upon the
grand jury to investigate their earn
ings and compel them to pay not only
their current and future tax, but that
which is delinquent as well.
Lincoln county, the largest in the
United States, is probably the heav-
lest in debt in proportion to its popu-
lation and assessed valuation. The
latter is far too low, as some of the
richest mines in Nevada are located
within her borders. In the boom
days, the county built a fine court
house and incurred debts for other
purposes amounting in all to S1s1, 900.
Since that time not dollar has been
paid on the principal and the interest
and judgment taken against the coun-
ty, some of them bearing 10 per cent
interest, have increased the debt to
S650,000. A population of about 1000
or 5000 is left to pay this enormous
obligation.
In the last ten years the DeLamar
company, says Mr.. Sanders, has de-
frauded the county, according to the
testimony of its own attorney, out of
$257, 600.
The Bamberger Company, in two
years, says Sanders, has refused to
pay S3360, which it owes as bullion
tax
The April Fool Company, Sanders
declares, has fieeced the county by
means of false returns out of 5000.
Landers further says that the coun-
ty, staggering under this load of debt,
still allows the interest on the same
to continue unpaid and pays much of
its current expense with county script
which is worth from soc to 90c on the
dollar. The county officials, whose
duty it is to levy and collect taxes,
are to blame, according to his state
ments.

THIS

mo delinquents' was thel response
received last week over the telephone
from ounty clerk Jepsen in answer
to query regarding the delinquent tax
list of Douglas county.
This is something that cannot be
boasted of by every county in Nevada.
II has not happened in this county
manyItimes before, although in some
Instance a section of grazing or timber
landlwonld be sold for taxes; no valu-
able property was ever advertised
because the owner could not raise the
required amount to pay his taxes.
We believe the people of this
county have much TO be thankful for
t would be hard task to find a like
community enjoying any better times
than the farmers of Carson Valley
True, you may find other communities
just as good, but to find one better
would be impossible. With the
many projects in view which will
greatly assist this Valley in a COM
mereial way, our citizens have much
to look forward to.

Things Look
Fright.

Winter has begun early and from
the present indications, viii be one
long to be remembered by the people
of this county. Our famers, stock
raisers and flock masters are happy
over the assurance of an abundance of
water and feed for the coming season.
The Record Courier looks for the most
prosperous year in the history Of
Douglas county; the crop prospects
we're never better. The construction
of the new railroad will add to our
population, mining prospects are
looking better than ever. The people
as rule are free from debt, and every
one who tries will succeed The tax
able property will be increased fully
500, 900 the coming year. The present
year has been good one for our peo-
pie, and the coming year will be still
better.
Gardnerville will share in the gen
eral prosperity and will grow and soon
be town with double or even three
times its present population. fevery
resident in our little town will lay aside
his or her narrow prejudices, the town
will be much stronger and better in
every way. This week marked the
beginning of the good work when one
of our public spirited citizens circulat-
aI ,Natftino 70 ht,flH hA
leading to the south in order to en-
courage, as much as possible, the
southern freight to continue coming
this way.
Let us keep on working for the
further improvement of our town.
We must unite in order to work to-
gether. Let every one know that
some responsibility rests upon their
shoulders, and then try to do some
thing for the towns Advancement and
you will be surprised at the wonders
which can be accomplished by little
united effort. Don't waste valuable
moments in idle gossip about what
your neighbor is doing; get in and do
things yourself. Put away the little
hammer and boost instead of knock
Try this remedy for month and see
if you are not happier and better
satisfied with yourself.
There 10 no reason why Gardner
vile should not be a much larger
place than II is. The business is here
to do, and II we all pull together we
can make il town of great import
ance.
