Rate t1lgner Inan Last year.
While the state and county tax rate
is 3 cents lower this year, and the
town tax remains the same as last
year, the total rate in Winnemueca is
6 cents higher, owing to the fact that
this year, for the first time, the high
school tax of cents has been added.
At Lovelock, the total rate this year
is 2.s1, compared to 2.25 last year.
The county commissioners met in
regular monthly session yesterday, with
Chairman Blattner and Commissioners
Stoker and McDeid present.
Aside from the consideration of bills,
the only business of Importance trans

Winnemucca Bridge in Danger.

At about clock last evening the
Humbolt river began to raise at this
point, and between that hour and 9
'clock this morning rose fully two and
"a half feet. All night long Commits
sioner McDeid. with a force of men,
was at work hastily constructing wing
dams and riprapping in an endeavor
to save the county bridge. This morn
ing the water was flowing over the ap-
proaches to a depth of several feet.
Since morning the water has remained
about stationary and hopes are enter
tanned that the main structure may be
saved.
Haviland & Hoskins are the greatest
local sufferers from the effects of the
flood. The damage to corrals, hay
etc, is variously estimated at from
$1,000 to $500. Anticipating the i'm
FEASIBILITY of the bridge this morning
this firm last night sent the Paradise
stage across the river. This morning
il was deemed inadvisable to attempt
transferring the mail across the river
and the stage left without it. This af
ternoon the incoming mail was brought
across in row boat and the mail for
the valley returned by the same con.
veyance.
Reports from up the river this after
noon are rather conflicting. Golconda
reports that it is raining above, while
DISPATCHES from Elko, Beowawe and
Battle Mountain do not mention the
fact However. it is evident that the
water at Golconaa has remained practi-
cally stationary all day, and in that

Dr. Camassila, an Italian suggests
new method of Identification. After
long study he has come TO the con-
cIusion that the back OF the hand
possesses advantages over the fingers.
He SAYS the veins on the back Of the
hand are never the same on eacn

possess such distinct markings that
they can never be taken one Tor the
other. The differences become most
apparent when the hand is clenched-
