That elephant on his hands.
WASHINGTON, Nov. I4.-Uncle Sam has
an elephant on his hands. To he exact he
has four elephants on his hands For
that reason he feels four times az bad as
the king in Wang" who was eaten out OF
house and home by an elephant bought from
the King of Cambodia.
This Is the sad story: Some months ago
one Thompson put in an appearance at the
port of New York with four ponderous
elephants. He was informed that unde
the Dingley tariff law, which was framed
in part 10 protect infant industries, ele-
plants we're taxed 20 per cent. of their value
if they were brought 20 the United States
for performing purposes. Thompson val
ued the elephants at $4,000, paid his tax
and led the animals into New York. Later
he took the animals out of the country.
Recently Thompson reached Buffalo from
a point in Canada with the same elephants,
but their value, according to Thompson'S
agent, had dropped rom "a 900 to 81 800.
Man and elephants were admitted. The
Government then heard that the animals
were for sale for $40, 900 and IL was decided
to seize the herd on a charge OF underval-
uation.
This decision was reached in an evil and
unguarded moment by James Burton
Reynolds, assistant secretary OF the Treas
ury, the man in charge of customs. Mr..
Reynolds is sorry that he was in such a
hurry TO seize the beasts. For information
has been received at The Department that
the elephants are running up the national
debt. that they eat night n day and that
each Of them is consuming, to use an official
aXDrazsiOD six bales Of timNthV Dpr lem. v
The cost of keeping the elephants will be
charged 10 Thompson. II he won't paw
the animals will be sold and the duty and
expenses deducted from the selling price.
The rest Of the amount obtained, il any is

A GREAT STORM.
Western Nevada Receives the Heav-
lest Wetting in Years.

Early yesterday morning a storm
broke over this section which has
proven the heaviest in years. The
storm was a mixture of rain and snow
and walking was rendered almost i'm
possible, as the frozen ground pre-
vented the moisture sinking into the
earth and puddles of water and slush
ankle deep are to be found in every
direction.
The mountains are covered several
feet deep with snow, and the high
wind that accompanied the storm mas
formed immense snow drifts that give
assurance of water and plenty of it
for the coming summer.
Word received from the Red Ho,.s e
yesterday afternoon told nf three feet
of snow at that place. which means
considerable more at Marlette Lake.
At the Heidenreich ranch three miles
above this city over two feet of snow
has fallen. while at the Glenbrook
summit there is over three feet.
The Virginia Chronicle states that
snow fell on the Comstock the best
part Of the day and at the time of 60
ing to press there was fifteen inches
on the level and the storm still in
progress.
At late hour the storm is still in
progress in this valley and rain fall

COLONIZATION SCHEME.
Smith Valley Property tc Be Divided
and EARNED.

A. E. Kingsbury is making arrange
ments for the purchase of the
O'Bannion ranch in Smith Valley. The
plan which he intends to pursue after
the purchase of the property is exceed
ingly novel and one which has been
tried but once before and then with a
different class OF people.
Mr.. Kingsbury is going to bring a
number of Pennsylvania people out
and form Of them a colony for the
purpose Of farming the property. 1t
will be remembered that . number
of years ago E. Cohn tried a similar
plan with the Wymore ranch and the
scheme was fair success, although
the colonists suffered a great deal Ct
bad luck because of some heavy
storms which seriously damaged their
ditch and ruined a portion of their
crops at tie same time.
The O'Fannion ranch is large and
is one of ne best farms in Smith val
ley The creamery is on this property
and for tn reason a large number Of
people cC-.d make a comfortable liv
ing on tn ranch if thrifty. Should
the plan love a success the colonists
can be rared upon to write back &
their friends and relatives and the re
suit will De big emigration to the

gates and feed on the hay. Once in
