days with Treasurer Parks, the pay
ments Saturday having amounted to
$7,46225, while the sum of $6,S61.11
was turned into the city Golfers yes
terday. City taxes have been paid with
more reluctance this year than for
many years past, and in case the city
council does not extend the time at to-
nights meeting, the duties Of the de-
linquency man for the next few months
will be anything but pleasant.
Saturday and yesterday were busy
ones with the treasury, the date of de-
linquency having been responsible for
hundreds of Walla Wallans making a
call at the office and paying up. But
the two days we're the only heavy ones
since the tax rolls were turned over to
the treasurer, and as a result over 40
per cent of the city taxes are still un-
collected.

The notion is just as far reaching as
the doctrine of natural selection, but
not so important, perhaps, in it's social
ethical implications. The absence of
any human interest in the subject as
sures a less eager interest among peo-
rle not professionally given to scien-
tific pursuits. But among them the
discussion is likely to be just as keen
and searching as that provoked in 1858

Goldfeld, New, Jan. IL, 1908
The activities in and about Gold
field for the past week have centered
principally about the coming session Of
the legislature. The labor men all
over Nevada have called for special
meetings of their union to decide what
action to take next week at Carson.
The assemblymen and senators Of the
state seem anxious to get the views of
the working men. They want to get
an idea of the stand organized labor
is taking on the retention of troops
at Goldfeld, the establishing of state
militia, or the organization of body
of rangers similar to that in Texas.

How much per head do they propose
