TOLOOk UP
SEA SERPENT
Pres. Jordon of Stanford
Wants Look at Pre-
historic Monster

The Walker Lake sea serpent is at
tracing attention in high circles.
Since the publication of the article of
week ago describing a recent ap-
pearance of the creature, the Reveille
is able to state ON good authority that
the reptile-fsh and it's history are to
undergo an examination at the hands
OF no less an authority than Professor
David Star Jordan, president of
Stanford university, and generally
conceded to be the foremost ichthyo-
logist OF the United States.
The announcement has reached
the Reveille indirectly from William
D. Merritt of Oakland, whose atten-
tion was attracted by the stories he
heard of the water snake during a
trip to Nevada last October. He is
an intimate friend of DR.. Jordan, and
an ardent ichthyologist himself, and
SO he made arrangements with one
of his Indian guides that on the next
appearance of the serpent a telegram
of notification should be sent to Oak
land.
Upon receipt of such dispatch it
is his intention to acquaint DR.. JOr-
dan and the two will come to Nevada
to capture, if possible, the mysterious
creature and, after a thorough dis
section of the carcass, present it's
remains to the Smithsonian Institute.

Assessment
Role increased

RENO, Aug. 14-ASsGsspr Beard CT
Washoe county has raised the realty
values on the assessment role about
six times in comparison with the val
uation assessed last year by him. 1t
has been given out that the idea OF
the raise is to make the owners of
property on which old Shacks are
standing to pay the same per capita
of valuation as others who have i'm
p owed their property. This raise is
mostly being made in the business
district of the city where many prop
erty owners are holding out for high
prices for their property and at the
same time will not improve it by
erecting modern buildings. The
property valuation in the red
light district has been increased many
times in hopes that the owners OF that
part of the city will be forced to aban
don their shacks and build modern
business blocks in that part of the
business district which is now Occup.
led by the tenderloin.
The assessment in the residence
districts have also been increased to

CENTRAL AMERICAN UNION.

agitation for union of the Central
American states under the protection
of Mexico and the United States. The

tention of the President and to have

delegates to conference In Mexico To
devise some plan for federation. Tho
chief difficulty To union lies In Guste-
mala and the opposition Of President
Cabrera, Of that republic. and it is be
