MORE WORK SMALLER
FEES IN RECORDING

Secretary of State Geo. Brodi-
gan is kept busy with a force of
clerks these days attending to
large number of Incorporation
papers that arc being filed daily.
From the records of this office it
is being shown that a great change
has taken place In the forming of
interpretations of the present from
those Of few years ago. At that
time it was very rare thing for
company to be incorporated with
a less capitalization than million
shares but now few companies
have over 100000 shares. 1t
appears that the interpretations Of
the present are on the safe and
sane plan.
This has tendency to reduce
the amount of fees that are paid
into the office and still the same
amount of work has to be done.
TIL. fee in the million dollar in
corporations is a hundred dollars
" hile the smaller amount is only
ten dollars. This has tendency
to cut down earnings of the office
without in any way reducing the
amount of labor.
The receipts OF the Office so far
this year tend to show that the
total receipts for this year will be
as large if not larger than those
of last years.-Carson News.

SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS

c. H. Tuttle, agent of the Santa
Fe ;ailroad at this point, is mis-
sing, leaving behind a shortage in
his accounts with the company.
Last Saturday W. NJ. Sangster,
travelling auditor for the com.
pany, arrived hrie and began
going over ruttle's acc UNITS. On
Monday afternoon about Is
minutes after 4 O'Clock Tuttle
stepped out of the depot, and since
then nuthing has been seen of him,
he dropped out of sight as COM
pletely as though the esrth had
swallowed him He left all of his
clothing in his room at the d pct.
not even having his rat on when
he stepped out Of the building.
Wednesday G. A. Shay, a
detectiv" for the company. came
in. his errard being to discover,
if possible. the whereabouts of the
missing agent. and TO look into
other matters in connection with
the case. He was accomp anied
by d. S. Griffith, an ag. mt for the
Western Union Telegraph Co. who
is looking after the interests of
the latter company.
While here Mr.. Shay swore out
a warrant for Tuttle's arrest,
thinking the young man might be
hiding in Searehiight.
The representative of the com
pany are not in a position to Civ,
out any definite information at
this time. About town the short
age is said 10 be all the way from
$3.50 to 500. 1t is known that
ruttle had made no remittances to
the company for a month, and at
present there is no other informa.
tio' than this to give an id. of
what he may have taken. The
exact amount cannot be told until
his books have b en- examine d.

.AEROPLANE RECORDS
OF THE PAST YEAR

A year ago the highest altitude
attained was about 6001 feet, the
greatest speed siXty-sGven miles an
hour, the longest continuous flight
2i6 miles in five hours, the longest
over water fight forty-five miles,
and three was the largest number
of passengers carried. Since then
an altitude of II .476 feet has been
reached, continuous fight Of 3Ss
miles and an overwateI fight Of
l40 miles have been achieved. and
as many as thirteen persons have
been carried in i'm aeroplane.
Within the past year the most
hazardous trips have been success

fastnesses of the Alps inpeded
the progress of such indomitable
conquerors as Hannibal and
Napoleon. But the daring and

high and battling with wind and

that will always remain an epic in
the chronicles of aviation. The

A Washington dispatch of the
10th says tremendous decline in
the condition of crops in genera ]
thoughout the country is indicated
by the report Of the department
of agriculture.
The report is the worst, as to
general conditions the department
has issued in any single month
since 1901. The area most
seriously affected extends from
Pennsylvania westward embracing
all the great corn. wheat and hay
producing states to the Rocky
Mountains.
la the southern states. with the
exception of Virginia and North
Carolina. ample rains have served
to maintain favorable conditions.
Conditions in the Pacific northwest
are regarded as excellent althc ugh
during July that territory suffered
from a brief excessively hot

indicate material slump in the
prospects for all crops.
Com, which at this seas on is the

previous idonth.
Spring wheat fell from a condi.

below the average to approx
matcly 27 per cent below, indicat-

The indications Of the total yield
of wheat per acre arc the lowest
since ,904.
The oat crop is very short

years. The condition of potatoes
this month indicates loss of
about 80. 64S, 600 bushels from last
months estimated yield. While
the crops in many instances pro.
badly will he a short yield per
acre yet in total production they
will not be small, as shown by the
