RiksDAG IN SESSION.

SWedtSh parliament VIII ECGI WIFI
sece-s:on Of Norwsy.
Stockholm, Sweden, June 21.-The
sessions of both chambers OF the riks-
dag were opened during the day.
Baron Essex took the chair in the
upper house by right of seniority.
The proceedings in the lower house
of the riksdag were opened with a
short address by M. Hedin, the senior
member. President Swarthing fol-
lowed, during which he said that the
hope of Sweden in regard to the union
had vanished and Norway's negation
of the union had been accomplished
in such a manner that 1t would be
very difficult to make any attempts to
reopen the negotiations. The presi.
dent was sure the members realized
fully their responsibility towards the
nation and the future. He hoped, how
ever, that a result of the proceedings
Of the present riksdag would record
the honest desires of Sweden.

A CHANCE FOR BUSINESS.
Railroad Company COntemplates Sending
B0die Freight In By WAY of Mabuska

The Southern Pacific Company is
seriously considering the PROPOSE
ton of sending freight for Bodie and
other Mono county camps in by way
of Wabuska. We do not see why
they should not do so. Since Haw-
thorne has been cut off of the line
the haul to the railroad IS consider
ably longer, and the s. P. Co. is not
going to drop Mono county freight
at Reno for the V. < L. road if it can
help it. Mono merchants could prob
ably do better by getting freight
through by way of Wabuska. The
distance from Carson to Bodie is a
little over 100 miles. The distance
from Wabuska to Bod1e is about IS
miles, which would make saving
of a days haul to freight teams.
The roads over this route are good
and freighters could probably haul
from Wabuska to Bodie cheaper than
by way of Carson. Such a line would
add considerable to the business of
this community, and hay and grain
can be bought as cheaply here as
along the Carson-Bodie route.

County Commissioners Meet.

The Board of County Commission
ers met in Dayton Monday, full
Board being present, including Clerk
Melarkey. The amount OF business
transacted was small and consisted
of the examination and allowance of
few bills and the closing of the
poor farm transaction.
After this business was transacted
the Board met as a Board of Equali-
zation. Under this head there was
much business to transact. b. r.
Leete appeared before the Board and
asked tor a reduction on the valua-
ton of his salt works railroad but it
was not granted. A representa- tive
of the Truckee Biver General Elec-
trio Company was present and asked
for reduction in valuation. w. ].
Douglass asked for a reduction and
received it on some old cars that the
company had disposed of. A repre-
sentative of the Western Union
Telegraph Company was on hand
and asked for reduction, but in all
cases the Assessors valuations were
sustained. The Board was in ses-
sion the greater part of the week
and made quite few raises, list
of which will be found in this issue.

WAFER MEETING.
State Engineer Thurtell viii Discuss Water
Matters With Mason Valley Farmers.

On Saturday evening of next
week, September goth, there will be
a meeting of water users and ditch
owners of this section in Yerington
for the purpose OF discussing the
method employed by the State En-
gineer in taking evidence and set
Ting prior rights. Prof. Thurtell
has agreed to be here and talk with
the farmers about the plan he has
worked on so successfully in other
sections of the State. The question
is one of vital Importance to the
people of this community, and all
should be present at the meeting. If
a spirit of equity can be brought
about in this water question there
will be no trouble in settling mat
tiers, having the suit dismissed and
arranging for water storage, either
by private corporation or under gov
eminent aid. The time is ripe for
advertising Mason Valleys re-
sources, and the settlement of the
water question is the first thing that
should, or rather must, be done to
show to the world that we have the
greatest agricultural section in the
State of Nevada, and one of the
finest on the Pacific Coast. Don't
forget the date of the meeting.

Growing Some.

The assessment roll of Lyon county
for 1905 shows an increase in the
number of taxpayers over last year
of 26. 1t also shows a valuation of
property as fixed by the Assessor of
SI,9o7, 500, against a valuation of ST.
7oS,85I as equalized last year by the
Board of Equaliza alton. The growth
is not very large, but it is sub
stantial, while the increase in valu-
alton of S2oS,74S shows a healthy
condition. 1t is more than likely,
also, that the roll will show s
greater valuation than this when
the Board of Equalization finishes
its labors this month.

The Lyon County Tax List.

We are informed that some COM
plant is being made by some of the
taxpayers of this county because a
few names of taxpayer were lett off
of the printed list. The tax list for
Lyon county was turned out of the
TINES office this year and is above
the average as piece of job print
ing. The list as printed contains 557
names and the description of prop
erty is more complete than is given
by the Assessors in any of the other
counties in the State. In copying the
list from the Assessment Roll the
Assessor inadvertently left a few
on the printed list. For this reason
the complaint is being made. The
price received by US tor printing the
list is 20 cents per name, just what
the law allows, and which IS about
half pay for that kind of work. To
anyone who is disposed to find fault
about the names being left off of the
printed list we will forfeit $40 for
each and every name that can be
found on the the list furnished Us
by the Assessor that is not on the
printed list. Those taxpayers whose
names are left off of the printed list
are all on the original roll so the only
error that has been made is in. the
copying. The only person out a dol
lar on the job or who has been incon
venienced any in the matter is the
printer, as he failed to get the &c
cents per name for the names that
did not appear on the printed list.

Purchased Old Shelter.

H. ]. Thompson paid this camp an
other visit this week and made a
payment on the purchase of the old
Boston Nevada smelter. Mr.. Thomp-
son represents the California and
Nevada Mining and Smelling Co.,
which is composed of ex-senator
J. p. Jones, Sam Jones, Mr.: Lunt
and others. The object OF this COM
pany is to establish custom smell
ter here to reduce the ores OF this
vicinity. The old smelter will be
started up very shortly on copper
ores, and it will be used as base
upon which to build up complete
and up-todate reduction works.
Mr.. Thompson returned to San Fran
cisco yesterday, but is expected back
here in short time.

Looking for Pulp Paper Material.

A representative of the Floreston
Paper Co. visited the Towle ranch in
this county looking for wood out of
which to manufacture paper. The
Towle ranch contains several thous-
and cords of fine cottonwood timber,
and it is understood that the paper
company offered the Towle Bros.
$4,000 for the timber on their land.
1t is also reported that the offer was
not accepted. Now that the railroad
Is completed from Churchill to Ha-
zen and runs right through this
timber belt the wood could be laid
down at Floreston at fair rate of
transportation. The Towle Bros.
bought this ranch some FIVE years
ago, paying for it $4,000. Cotton
wood is an ideal wood for the man.

having a new plunger made re-

VIII Install Carpenter Shop.

w. l.. Davis, the carpenter and
contractor, paid Carson visit the
first OF the week on business. Mr..
Davis is one of the few who sees the
opening up of great country in
Mason Valley coming and the maxi
ing of a splendid business center OF
Yerington, which is situated in the
center of this great agricultural
section, and he is making arrange
ments to establish himself in bust
ness here. He contemplates putting
in small gasoline engine, building
a commodious shop, and installing
several saws, lathes, etc, so that he
can contract tor work in his line and
finish the jobs in short order, or at
least in a reasonable length OF time.
There is no doubt that a business OF
this character would pay right now,
and in the very near future 1t will
be one of the best paying institutions
ever established here.
