COUNTIES THAT OWE the STATE
State Revenue Board Expects
Trouble in Collecting De-
linquent Tax Due

Carson City dispatch Of June 2l to
the Sacramento Bee says:
The State Revenue Board expects to
have trouble on its hands as soon as 1t
begins to enforce collection of the delin-
ouent taxes charged to the various
counties in Nevada.
An investigation Of the books in the
State Controllers Office shows that the
large sum of $50. .7SO. 70 is due the State
from the counties, Esmeralda, in which
Goldfield is situated, being the largest
delinquent. 1t owing s24,6l4 SS. Lin
coln comes next, with a delinquency OF
sl0,350.54. This county has been bank
rupt for many years, being unable to
even pay half the interest upon its
stupendous debts Washoe owes $4S4l
Nye, $3.50. and Storey, s242S. Eureka
County is delinquent to the amount of
but $l6l.
The State officials say the great est
part of the delinquency with the ex-
ception Of Lincoln and Esmeralda
Counties, arises out Of different con-
structions of the State revenue laws.
1t is intended to enforcs a suit against
one OF the counties to get clear ruling
from the Supreme Court in the matter.
In Lincoln the county has declined to
cay its taxes to the State on account of
its embarrassment, and in Goldfield the
Treasurer says he was unable to collect
all the taxes charged ON the books.
The State Board of Revenue says the
only remedy for the situation. after
the collections are once made, is to
adopt the Oregon tax law. which gives
to State Board the power to tax each
county a certain lump sum each
year, regardless Of their revenues.
This will enable the various counties to
maintain different standards OF prop
erty valuation in order to adapt them.
selves to local conditions.

GRAND JURY is cENsUREO
Investigation Conducted By One
of Accused Men and People
of Sparks Are Indignant

A Sparks. Nevada, dispatch Of June
81 to the Sacramento Bee shows that
the last Washoe County Grand Jury
was handled with rare judgment and
nerve:
There was considerable indignation
at this place last night when it was
learned that the Washoe County Grand
Jury, which had been in session at
Reno for three days. hal ignored the
charge of graft against the School
Board and the contractor who erected
the school building that was recently
built.
1t is claimed that the investigation
of the jury could not have been
thorough for. the reason that District
Attorney Craig. who is also the School
Superintendent, conducted the inquiry.
1t was claimed that the School Super
intendent had approved excessive bills
for extras, and that he assisted in the
investigation Of himself and the other
accused parties, leaves the impression
that different result might have en-
sued had the methods of the jury been
otherwise.
The Graud Jury also ignored the
charge against Policeman Frank Meffiy
who is said to have accepted a bribe.
and the charge of assault with intent
to kill against Mrs. Matte Blondell,
who shot and seriously wonded her
brother, Lloyd Benoist. a young ranch
er. who beat and kicked her in a fit Of
anger.

THE new ARMY RATION
Near to Principles of Old Indian
Travel Food of Corn and
Buffalo Meat.

In one of Kansas Ciiy's packing
houses the Government is having pre-
pared an emergency ration for troops in
the field. In all 1885, 900 rations are to
DO made.
Sixty men aud women are working
with machinery especially. designed for
the purpose Of preparing the rations and
putting them in long tin cans. Each can
contains three cakes of bread-and- meat
component. that are compressed under
a weight of 6400 pounds; three cakes OF
chocolate, wrapped in tinfoil; three
fourths of an ounce of salt and a gram
of black pepper for seasoning.
The weight of the can when filled is
81 ounces, and its contents are suffi-
cient to supply the wants Of soldier
for one full day. The rations are be-
ing put up at the rate of 1000 day,
and are being sent to the different army
posts throughout the United States and
in the Philippines.
Result of Various Experiments
The Government has been expert
menting for years with an emergency
ration. But few years ago the troops
at Fort Leavenworth were forced to
subsist on hash prepared in a packing
house, and the cooks were furnished
with recipes for putting it up in all
kinds of ways SO as to make it palatable
for the men, but they could not dis
guise the fact that it was hash, and the
soldier did not take to it at all.
Then experiments were made with
chocolate alone. and troops made forced
marches with this as their only ration.
While it did them no great harm, it
was decided to give them something
besides the chocolate, and for this rea-
son the new ration is being tried.
Officers who represented the United
States Army in the East made notes on
the emergency ration carried by the
japanese troops. This consisted of
rice and dried fish. But an officer who
did duty in the Orient is of the opinion
that this newest ration will be in gener-
al use, referring to it as an evolution Of
the Indian ration of parched corn and
buffalo meat
Some time in the near future, or as
soon as all of the troops are supplied
with the new emergency ration, troops
are to be given it, and then sent out on
long hikes. 1t is not improbable that
they will use it on their long marches,
which commence July 10.
