ALFALFA LAND TO Be
ASSESSED At $4,000

County Assessor II. w. Leonard
arrived in Lovelock on his annual
trip through the county assessing
the various property owners.
Assessor Leonard will te busy
all tits week assessing the property
owners in the southern end Of the
county. He has established an
office in town and requests that
all property ownes meet him before
his departure about next Sunday.
In Lovelock alfalfa land has
been raised from $500 an acre
to S25 All acre AID grain land has
been raised to $50. Alfalfa land
is worth on an avreage of S75 an
acre and the assesso. takes the
stand that an assessment of S25 an
acre IS reasonable. Valuations all
along the line have heen raised
with the result that the assessment
roll this year ~ iii show an increase
Of about a million and a half
dollars. Of this increase the rail-
rad company must stand nearly a
million, the increase on the trans
poration, property being $780,
400, and the increase on railroad
lands amounting to nearly a
quarter of million mure. This
last increase will be due to the
law passed at the last session of
the legislature requiring that in
contract land in the state shall be
assessed at less than SIPS an acre.
IN Humboldt county the increase
in the assessment roll will be not
as great as in some other counties
for the reason that here for a
number OF years contract land has
been assessed at Sl.00 an acre
whereas in most of the other
counties il has been very much less.

newspaper ghost Stories" In
some cases they have been going
the rounds for half century or

Egyptian mummy for probably
thousands OF years ten grains of

From them eight stalks of

a variety of wheat superior to any
growing in this locality and may
supplant American wheat"

NO COST TOO GREAT

What the Navy Department
will do to save a human life is
well illustrated by a recent oc-
currcnce. Commander Miller, in
command of the Vicksburg, cdbled
the department from Corinto that
an enlisted man had been stricken
with appendicitis. and that there
was a chance to save his life,
provided the vessel could steam at
once Panama, the nearest modern
hospital. The Vicksburg was oc-
cupied with very important husi-
ness in which some fifteen million
dollars we're involved. but
promptly came back the reply:
Disregard all previous orders;
steam quickest possible to Pana-
ma" The 800 mile trip was made
under forced draught, and the
man is reported as recovering at
