ing National Forests will receive under
the new law giving % per cent of the
gross receipts from Forests, to these
States. The total amount to go to
the States, from the receipts of the
fiscal year which ended June 30, is
$447, O63.79.
The amount to go to each State or
Territory are: Alaska, 80, 684. 49,;
Arizona, $42, 810.44; Arkansas, 1913, 6S;
California, $52, 43z7s; Colorado, $780,
955. 81; Idaho, $56, 3O7 81; Kansas $843. 55
Montana, $75, 1914 Nebraska, 81, $40. =

464. IS; Oklahoma, 1854 4S; Oregon, 1872,
1881; South Dakota, $S,458.6O; Utah,
$32, 151 OF Including Uinta Indian re-
fund of $5, 348. on; Washington, $18,
O32. 10, and Wyoming, al, 402.8S.
The law requires that this money be
expended upon public roads and schools
by the counties which contain National
florists land. In this way the counties
are compensated for the reduction of
taxable area brought about by the ex-
fstence of the Forests.
Before this year the States have re-
ceived 10 per cent of the gross receipts,
but Congress voted last winter to in
crease the amount to % per cent.

Proposal 70 ChaDge Street CrossI,q,

, . . No. -
About two years ago the residents of
the Eastern part of town petitioned the
county commissioners for q railroad
crossing east of the mill. The com
missioners took the matter up with the
railroad company, but were unable to
secure the crossing.
During the time the matter was under
consideration by the board, the rail
road company proposed to construct
the crossing asked for, providing the
people of the town would consent to
close the crossing on Fifth Street at
the west end of the freight depot.
There was some objection to this and
the matter was dropped. Since then
nothing has been done. ...
After the Chinaman was killed at the
freight house crossing several months
ago, Agent Hollingsworth again took
the matter up with the railroad authori-
ties and has received the following
proposition:
The railroad Company proposes to
close the. crossing at the west end of
the freight depot and to widen the flag
pole crossing eastward to double its
present width. Also to put in electric
bells at the crossings by the, flagpole
and west of the mill. These bells will
ring from the time a train reaches.the
yard limits uutil it passes the crossings.
The company also agrees to construct a
crossing on the street opposite the lun-
Der yard.
That the crossing at the west end of
the freight house is exceedingly danger
GUS to pedestrians and teams no resident
of the town will deny. Hardly week
passes that some one does not narrowly
escape injury or death at this crossing.
This is not due to carelessness on the
part OF, the trainmen nor to those who
so narrowly escape, but to the difficulty
OF seeing and hearing the approach of
westbound trains by people crossing
the track from the south.
That this condition should be
remedied before any more are killed or
injured at this crossing does not need
any argument. The proposition of the
railroad company to close this crossing
and to widen the fagpole crossing east
ward to double its present width and to
put in electric bells to warn people of
approaching trains seems to the writer
to be eminently fair and just to the
town. Add to that the crossing east of
the mill and the town gains substan-
tial advance over present conditions.
This matter is of Importance to Elko
and it should be considered by it's
people in the proper spirit. No one
should oppose it merely out of hostility
to the railroad company. 1t should be
considered only in the light of it's bene-
fit or injury to the town.
AS this is an important matter, the
columds Inf the INDEPENDENT are open
to anyone who wishes to discuss it in q
respectful manner. Let us hear from
you. .,. ....
