Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1910-11-26

Instead of being good sports and sen
sible citizens it would appear that the
townsite crowd and their dupes are not
going to accept the verdict of the people
on the county seat question. OF course
they acknowledge that the county seat
will be moved to Yerington, but they
are making a desperate and organized
effort to scare the people by attempting
to have portions of the county segregated
and choice cuts (and cuts less choice
distributed among other counties.
No doubt it is hoped by these tactics
to bluff the taxpayers OF Mason and
Smith valleys into letting things go as
they are for it is doubtful il a majority
of the taxpayers of even Dayton are SC
foolish as to allow chagrin over their de
feat carry them TO the extreme of wish
ing to go into county where the taxes
will be doubled without any compensat-
ing advantages. There are those who
would bite off their noses to spite their
faces, but the townsite crowd has given
more evidence OF being thus afflicted
than have any other citizens in the
county.
II the taxpayers of Dayton really want
to get out of Lyon county. it is probable
that, while regretting it, the people OF
this section would offer no opposition.
But when any crowd tries to cut up the
whole county to CRAFTY the spite OF their
own mean little souls--well, that's am
other story.
Mason and Dayton emissaries were in
Carson this week, and the following is
some OF the dope they dished ont for the
Appeal in furtherance of their scheme:
Already movement is on foot as re-
CARDS the division of the county, II is
agreed that sections of the county shall
be annexed to Churchill, Washoe, Doug
las, Storey and Ormsby counties.
Churchill is to get the section i'll which
Fernley is located, and the people OF
that community have pledged the legis-
latiye candidates of Churchill county to
make a fight in the legislature to that
end.
''The people OF Smith valley are anX-
ious to be annexed to Douglas county,
and the section of the county i'll which is
included Ramsey is to be offered to
Storey county. Washoe county will get
the slice in which is located Fort Church
i'll, which will carry with it number OF
e 81, line of 10 he
Pacific and add greatly to the taxable
property of that already rich county.
THE people of Dayton and Silver
City want to become part of Ormsby
county, aud the section that will be an
nexed if the movement goes through
will mean an added valuation OF i'll the
neighborhood of two hundred thousand
dollars to Il assessment roll of Ormsby
county.
'"rhe move that is OH foot is being
taken seriously by the heavy taxpayers
OF Lyon county, and they are back OF the
division idea We have had representa-
tive men in all the counties mentioned
and that there will be no opposition that
cannot be overcome is an assured fact
The court house and the county seat cal
90 to Yerington and we OF the north
western section will move into The
neighborng counties, which will be foI
our best interests.
'At DAYTON next Saturday there vii
be a meeting of the taxpayers and repre-
sentatives from all the counties affected
by the present move are asked to h'
present and tell the people of our sec
ton what they are willing to do for us
Already we have received word that TIVE
of the counties will be represented at tn
meeting and if the people OF Ormsb
county desire to have us come into thei
lines it would be good idea to have
dozen or so representative men at tn
Saturday night meeting.
1.-The people of Lyon county mea
business, but we want to know what
before us before the final move is made.
The following is another inspired art
Gle which was published i'll the Nirgini
City Chronicle.
