improved it's service between the two
cities had the desired effect.
Today the Northern electric company
announced new service for Saturday.

SOnoma County Automobile AS
ISOLATION Will Hold Annual
Convention
BY r. r. L'HOMMEDIEU

The germ for good roads has begun
to work in Sonoma county. as is to be
seen by the announcement just issued
by the automobile association of that
county. The notice says that the sec
ond annual meeting of the association
will take place at IL o'clock, Sunday,
August %, at Bice's redwood grove.
The grove is situated three miles
southwest of Healdsburg, on the Dry
Creek valley road. The meeting will
be devoted to the annual election of
officers and directors, to the appoint
ment of committees and many matters
of Importance which come under the
supervision of the association. The
most important subject Will be good
roads, and it is the aim of the body to
make plans which, when executed, will
place the roads of Sonoma county
among the best in the state. The in
vitation is extended not only to the
members of the organization, but to
every enthusiast in the state and all
who can are urged to be present. Don
Prentiss, the secretary, writes that the
occasion will be a basket picnic, and
general good time is assured. To reach

g ANDWICHES are the chief reliance
y for any sort of cold lunches, hence
are especially in demand at this season
of the year They should be daintily
made of the best ingredients, and if
they must be kept some time for trav-
cling or other purposes. each sandwich
should be wrapped in paraffine paper.
White, graham or brown bread, or
small fine grained rolls, such as the
Parker house rolls, are best for this
use. Whole wheat and rye bread are
also excellent. The bread should be
at least one day old and of fine grain.
A five cent loaf cuts to good advantage.
The loaf should have the crust cut off
and be trimmed to good shape before
the slices are cut. The butter should
be spread on the loar. and the bread
then cut into even slices about one
eighth of an inch thick. The second
slices. used for the upper covering, do
not usually need spreading, but must
be cut off and fitted over the first slice
at once TO avoid mismatching rough
edges. Next cut the slices into the
desired shapes. One cut across the loaf
will make two squares, second cut

HALEY MISTAKES FACTS.

After a careful perusal of the re-
port of State License and Bullion
Tax Agent Haley, which was print
ed in part In last weeks Phoebe Rec
ord, we are convinced that this Of
ficial's figures on the amont OF
taxes paid in by the Bamberger Del
amar company last year is mislead-
ing and reflects upon the officers Of
Lincoln county whose business it
is to collect the taxes from property
owners in this county.
After declaring that the Bamber-
ger company had paid last year just
: 800 on account of bullion tax, Mr..
Haley says:
This In itself would not be a mat
ter Of so much comment but for the
conditions surrounding. The Bamr
berger Delamar company owns one
OF the finest power and light plants
IN the state of Nvada, 1t owns a
railroad, it owns water system, 1t
owns and controls ore of the oliest
towns in the state. Investigation dis
closed the fact that the total amount
OF taxes paid by this company on its
mining property In Lincoln county
amounted to $40, and that this
was paid only after the company hal
appeared before the commissioners
and had the valuation on its claims
reduced"
We have taken the pains to look
ZIP the records and we find that
the Bamberger Delamar company was
assessed $72,670 on mine improve
ments at Delamar and that on this
one item taxes were paid to the
amount Of $1671.41. The telephone
line owned by the company was as
Sessed at 1900 valuation, the tax paid

Mt $4,000, a tar or $500 was paid.
County Assessor Roeder fixed the
valuation on the company's patented
mines at $4,000. but this was re-
duced by the county commissioners
$780, and this called for tax Of
$780, which apparently, Is the only
item which came to Mr.. Haley's mo-
tice in his Investigation of the as
sessment rolls. Altogether, the BAN

on property with an assessed yalua-
tion of $1O6,470 and the county treas
urer receipted for taxes paid in to

year 1908.
Mr.. Haley does not state the facts
when he says the BambergerDelamar
company owns a railroad. We do
not deny that 1t does; but we are alst
confident that it does not own one
at least not anywhere within the con
fines of this state.
The bullion tax agent may have
been sincere in his criticism Of Lin
coin county and its officers: neverthe
less he has gone outside the facts in
this case.
