GOLDFIELD BOYS
TO HAVE TOUGH
SHEDDING SUNDAY
BOYS FROM SOUTHERN CAMP
AND THEIR BRUSH LEAGUE
TEAM UP AGAINST 1T.

Who is going to win the ball
game Sunday. The time is grow
ing short and that is the question
that is heard on every street cor
ner.
The Goldfeld Tribune states that
there will be over 800 rooters to
accompany the team to Tonopah
and take back with team the cham
pionship pennant
Well, We don't like to have to
disappoint them, but we are of the
opinion that it will be a sad day
for them.
Prout and Willets, the battery
for the home team. are in excel
lent form, while Osgood seems to
have a lease on half of the dia-
mond, with headquarters on first
base. Hunter has put one over on
Jim Jeffries, for he has certainly
come back. Darrow, who played
two years with Alameda in the Cali
fornia State league, will be seen on
this diamond for the first time.
Perry has pitched his tent on
third base.
Pud Hatton is playing a swifter
game than ever before, and Quilicy
is proving to be a star in the field
and demon at the bat.
Peck 5 arm is in good condition
this year, and the way he plays
the game isn't slow.
Spencer will be on hand, as well
as Woods, Tresize Morris, Brooks
and Malley
The last practice will be held to-
night and those desiring to see the
team work are invited out.

Sheriff Claims That Private Cars, Auto
mobiles, Legal Departments, Etc.
Should Not Be Charged as Mining
Expenses on Ore Extraction

That the mines Of the county
are not paying the amount of bull
lion tax that they should is the
opinion Of the sheriff, and while
the taxes for the last quarter ag-
gregated the greatest amount yet
paid for any quarter in the history
of the county, the official who col
lects the tax believes that the coun-
ty and state are not getting all
that they are entitled to, and the
amounts paid this last quarter were
only taken on account.
The mining companies are put

been deducted pay the tax on what

NO CASE, NO NATTER HOW FAR

BEYOND RECOVERY.

BOSTON, June 1G.-"No case of
drunkenness, no matter how far ad-
vanced, is considered beyond re-
covery and no case, however, slight
is considered to be without harm, .

the South End House of Boston.

session of the 3Sth annual confer

remains. The sheriff contends that
such items, as expense of maintain
ing eastern offices, automobiles, pri-
vate car and a legal department
should not be placed by the COM
panies as a cost of extracting ore,
and intends to place the matter
before the state officials to force
the companies to keep such items
from under the head of actual eX-
penses.
State Bullion Tax Collector Adam
son has been in Tonopah the past
week, and with the local officials,
has been endeavoring to get the
companies to eliminate a few of the
fancy items that they have charged
to the expense account.

Stars and Stripes in Africa

Probably most people will remember
government commission was appoint
ed two years ago to visit Liberia to in
vestigate conditions there.
Whether or not the commission ever
made a report, or what that report is,
the majority of the people would find it
difficult to say; but renewed interest
has been given to the matter by the
publication of book on Africa by Edgar
Allen Forbes, managing editor of the
Worlds Work. This book, entitled
The Land of the White Helmet, >"
deals in an interesting way with Mr..
Forbes personal experiences during a
year which he spent travelling over the
greater part of Africa, and especially
those portions being exploited by Euro
pean nations. A great deal OF interest
will necessarily attach to his chapter on
Liberia, the colony founded by Ameri-
cans for American negroes on land pur-
chased IRON the lords OF the soil, :"
and not secured by conquest, gift or
robbery.
Mr.. Forbes tells in an entertaining
way how the visit OF the American com
mission on board American warships
was made necessary by the apparent in
tention of Great Britain to absorb the
colony, and possibly, in measure, by
the steady encroachment of France,
which was crowding the boundary Of
Liberia nearer and nearer to the coast
as French agents discovered new rubber
territory in the district whict aroused
their cupidity.
The diplomatic move by the United
States put an end for the time to the
British Vaccinations, but it is strongly
intimated this country ought to take
more active interest in the welfare of
the Liberians, and the inference is al
most unavoidable that the United States
may some day be obliged to annex Ii
IBERIA, or at least to extend friendly
protoctorate over it.
Mr.. Forbes pays a tribute in the
book to the work of the American mis-
sionary in foreign lands, and all persons
interested in the missionary movement
will read what he has to say on this
subject with satisfaction.

lime to Register

The books Of registration are now
open at the Office of the city clerk.
All who are over 81 years Of age, who
have been in the state at least one year
and who have lived in the county and
precinct thirty days, and who wish to
be able to vote this year, should get
their names on the books before Feb
ruary /. That means now; because, If
it is put off, time slips by and the op-
portunity will be lost.
Women are specially urged to regis
ter early. There may be questions on
which many ladies would desire to ex-
press themselves at the polls. They
cannot vote if they are not registered.
The ordeal is not severe. The time
required is not over five minutes. No
women have yet registered, and only a
few men. Better attend to it today.

OREGON-WASHINGTON
Millions are Spent in the Pacific North
west by the Railroads

Washington and Oregon are getting
their full share of attention from the
railroads these days, it being estimated
that the Hill system alone has spent
during the last four years no less than
$4,000, 900 in the two states in ex-
tensions, betterments, new holdings
and equipment.
This is but a small part Of the fund
expended for railways in Washington
where the Milwaukee has extended to
the coast and the Hartman lines have
built a network of roads under the
guise of the North Coast in addition to
much other work.
These millions disbursed by the
roads in their construction and the
large sums required annually for their
operation mean continued prosperity
for the Pacific Northwest.

About Oats and Their Sowing

When one considers the immense
output of literature on how to farm, by
the agricultural department, one must
be struck with surprise at the dense ig-
norance existing among the farmers of
the country. It's a wonder they are
able to produce nine billion dollars
worth Of stuff last year when they don't
know much of anything worth mention
ing about anything. Anyway, that is
the way it irnpresses one after reading
agricultural department bulletins for a
week or two. A leahet of "A pages
has just been issued on oats. 1t says:
Oats do best on a rather loose, we'll
prepared seed bed. The common
method Of sowing the grain broadcast
on cornstalk land without preparation
and covering it with a disk harrow is
careless and uncertain. Thorough
preparation Of the seedbed is strongly
advised"
Hoping that this information will be
allowed to sink in, here is another
dose:
Drilling usually gives better germi-
nation, a more nearly uniform stand,
and higher yields than broadcast seed
ing. The rate Of seeding varies with
the locality and other factors. In the
upper Mississippi valley 21a to 8
bushels are usually sown to the acre.
Oats should be sown as early in the
spring as the ground can be worked. "
It's folly to SOW oats on the snow, OF
between Thanksgiving and New year
in most localities. Good results would
probably be attained by planting oats
carefully with the small end down.
Measure the depth carefully, as it is
easy to insert the oat too deep in the
soil. On the other hand, if it is not
placed far enough below the surface
something might happen to it. Never
mine what; anything would be bad
enough, wouldn't it?
"Only plump, heavy oats should be
used for seed"
In case the oats available are not
sufficiently obese, soaking in water for
few hours may remedy this trouble.
Oats are of different sizes, colors and
shapes. AS DR.. Johnson said in his
famous dictionary, oats are used fol-
food by horses and Scotchmen.
These is a lot more about oats in
Bulletin 424, and anybody caring about
the subject should send for copy. II
will not cost anything.

Correction

Some time ago The Echo published
!. statement which was supposed to have
come from the United States land Office,
to the effect that new ruling had been
made by the general land Office by
which the homestead laws had been so
interpreted as to permit married wo-
man to acquire a homestead, even tho
her husband had already used his right.
The report was a mistake, as it now
appears the publication Of such state
ment was never authorized by the land
Office officials.

SI.50 Per Year
FIRST REGULAR MEET OF COUNCIL
Old Council Retires-New Members Qualify
Short and Unimportant Session
Two Ordinances Read


When the council met Tuesday night
all members Of the old official family
were on hand, as we'll as the new mem
bers elect. Mayor Gutherless called
the old council to order. After Mayor
elect Woodrow and Councilmen-elect
Rice and Davis had qualified the new
members took hold of town affairs like
old hands at the business.
The first matter to come up was the
appointment Of J. E. Grant TO the posi-
ton OF police magistrate, who succeeds
E. c. Booth. The mayor announced
this would be the only change made
for the present. The appointment was
promptly confirmed by the council.
The contract granting the right OF
way for a sewer pipe under the Great
Northern tracks was read and accepted.
The report of Magistrate Booth was
read and accepted. Authority was also
given the auditing committee to accept
and approve the bond of Treasurer
elect Koerner.
Ordinances 76 and II, relating to
official bonds and providing that the
town pay the bonding fee, and provid-
ing a penalty for obstructing the streets
and alleys Of the town, were put on
their final reading, adopted and ordered
published. Two other ordinances are
still pending, but action on them was
postponed.
The marshal was instructed to have
wood on towns dumping ground cut
and hauled to the city hall.
The clerk was instructed to order
dog tags and registration books.
The reading Of the report of Treas
urer Anderson showed that there was
S52.35 in cash in the town treasury
which, deducted from the outstanding
warrant indebtedness shows that the
town is behind $859,83, with no pros
pect of any money coming in before
April. The report was accepted and
ordered filed.
The following standing committees
for the year were appointed:
Police, Fire and Water-Hathaway,
Carlquist, Davis.
Finance-Carlquist, Rice, Hathaway.
Streets, Alleys and Lights Weigand,
Hathaway, Davis.
Parks and General Improvements
Carlquist. Weigand, Rice.
The permit granted to Bloom & Tuck
to make Improvements on their build
ing on Front street was revoked, and
the clerk instructed to notify them.
The following bills were allowed:
Mutual Mercantile Company, $1.75.
Tumwater Light & Water Company,
$253.o0; Charles A. Anderson, $3.50,
which adds $314.45 to the towns in
debtedness, or total outstanding war
want indebtedness Of $1,174.28.

Accident and liability insurance in

Harmony attended the convening Of
the twelfth Legislature of the state of
Washington Monday morning, January
g; but it is the generally accepted
opinion the hatchet will not remain
long buried.
Many measures are to come up
which will involve fights. Already an
effort is being made to caucus the del
egations from the smaller counties to
formulate plans for a fight against King,
Pierce and Spokane counties in the
matter Of legislative reapportionment.
The workman's compensation act is
expected to prove an unwieldy subject.
Local option will probably become a
factor in the session, and the county
unit bill will no doubt be introduced.
The question Of whether the state rail-
road commission is to be constituted a
public utilities commission or sepa-
rate public utilities commission is to be
created, will take up considerable time.
A move is on foot for splitting up Ferry
and Okanogan counties, and there has
been drafted a bill for the abolition OF
Island and San Juan counties. These
subjects will not tend to promote har-
mony. Other factional fights are TO be
expected.

Report of Retiring Town Treasurer

The following report was made 10
the new council Tuesday night by re-
tiring Treasurer Anderson:
