RAILROAD TAKES INSURANCE.
Protects Pierre Depot and Contents to
Extent of 100000


Judge C. d. Mead, of Pierre, a few
days ago wrote What is probably the
heaviest single insurance policy ever
taken out in Pierre, it being for $780,
600 on the freight house and contents
Of the Northwestern road in that city.
The huge building is filled practically
to the limit with freight, n the ques-
ton is where to store what is coming
every day, the shipments not going
out as fast as they come in. Last week
106 ears of freight were unloaded
there, and the record of the week will
probably be as great, aud the risk on
sd large an amount of property piled
up in one warehouse is more than the
railway company cares to carry for
itself.

HAzEN IS A BUSY
PLACE NOW

j HAZEN, New, Sept. 29.-That the
Southern Pacific believes Hazen is to
be one of the busiest railroad towns in
Nevada is shown by the improvements
the corporation is making there to
take care of the trade handled by the
overland route, the Fallon extension
and the Tonopah and Goldfeld line.
A six-stall %roundhouse is almost com
pleted at Hazen for the accommoda-
ton of the engines used in switching
cars, and several miles of track is be-
ing laid for sidings.
The roundhouse will be constructed
so that additions can be made without
altering the exterior plans. The low
ground surrounding the roundhouse is
being filed with dirt from "cuts' on
other parts of the road. When the
yards are finished they will rival in
extent those at Sparks.
Along the north side of the rail
road, where only a few houses now
stand, facing the business district
across the track, the s. +. has land
of a half mile of town lots. The whit

R. R. TJEUP CAUSED
BY DRINKING

TONOPAH, Oct. 1.-The entire
Brock system is tied up tonight and
no one can tell how long the strike
may continue. The engineer tand
brakeman of the switch engine were
caught drinking while on duty yester-
day afternoon and were discharged,
as is the rule of the road and the
agreement with the trainmen.
The working force on the ore train
between here and Miller's was reduc-
ed this morning by the taking off of
a brakeman, and the conductor refus-
ed to take his train out.
Conductors, brakemen, engineers
and fremen declared a general strike
and the day was spent in a conference
between their representatives and
General Superintendent Hedden of the
road. The men demanded the rein
statement of the men who were dis
charged and the dismissal from serv-
ice of Road Engineer Hardy and
Train Dispatcher Cherry. +.
Mr.. Hedden would not listen to
this. He agreed to leave the dismissal
of the other men to an investigation
committee, but this the men would not
stand for. Tonight everything is tied
up, with little hope of disentangling
the skein.
President Brocq is due here tomor
row and will take the situation in
hand.
Mails were sent to Goldfeld tonight
and the mail ear will return from
Goldfield in the morning, and proceed
to Nina to make through mail serv-
ice. The train which arrived from

About Double Taxation

Ohio, Texas, Colorado and California,
have threshed the subject over with
great care and delibertion, and each
has ruled against the taxation of
mortgages, holding that mortgages
ace intangible property, and as suen
are not liable to taxation.
Nevada and White Pine county in
particular, are so prosperous that
there is but a small amount of mort
gagged property within its boundaries,
and the revenue that would be de
rived from such a tax is small. 1t is
not likely that a test case would be
made to set aside the ruling, as the
amounts involved are comparatively
insignificant.
But in the event a fight is instituted
the county will be forced to the rouDle
and expense of defending an ac that
has already been condemned in six
states.

The board of county commissioners
Of this county have recently passed a
resolution levying an assessment for
purposes of taxation on all mortgages
filed for record with the county re-
corder. 1t is the belief of local at
torneys that this resolution cannot be
made operative, because of its alleged
unconstitutionality.
7 1t is contended that this rule, if put
into effect would impose double tax
alton on property so assessed: first,
the taxation on the tangible asset, the
property itself; second, taxation on
an intangible asset, a piece of paper
representing the same property that
is already assessed tind taxed.
