A VERY PROUD MASON

Postmaster Doughty is one Of the
proudest men in the State of Ne.
vada. The cause of that pride,
which is not of the unseemIy kind,
is a mason's trowel made out OF
the native copper Of the worlds
gratest copper camp, Ely, and
which was presented to him by the
Masonic Lodge of Ely on his recent
visit as Grand Mas ter of the state.
The trowel is solid copper and
bea' IS the following inscription:
Presented to Most Worshepful
Grand Master James G. Doughty
Z y Ely Lodge 29 F & A M. Feb.
" 1911"
The trowel is a beauty and Mr..
Doughty has right to swell his
chest with pride.

ON 4 H0T IRA!L

Sheriff Terrell of Washoe county
and State Policeman Buck. vho
have been trailing the Indians that
murdered the four stockmen in
Washoe county, arrived ON No. 6
last night. They are here for the
purpose of mapping out a route by
which they hope to head off the
Indians before they reacn their
stamping ground in the liz
country in the northeastern Tart
of this county.
Sheriff Terrell told the reporter
that there was no doubt but that
the murderers were Shoshone
Indians and the same bunch that
killed TIE hoy near Ccrtsct last
May. He also said that the posse
trailing them from the scene of
the murder was twelve days behind
and that the longest trip the Indians
had made in a day was twelve
m lies. There are ten Indiars in
the bunch four men a woman and
two grown girls and three small
children.
This forenoon telephone
message from the IL. ranch, about
35 miles northwest of Tuscarora,
stated that one of the Indians was
at the ranch this morning. AS
soon as this message was received
preparations were made to start in
pursuit and posse, consisting of
Sheriff Terrell, Sheriff Harris,
Policeman Buck, George Grim ana
Bert Knight of Winnemucca, ore of
Sher iff Lambs men, left town
shorty after noon in two seated
rig. They will go to the Cldl I'm
station and stay all night and make
Tuscarora tomorrow fc1enccr.
There they will get saddle horses
and go to the l. L. ranch and
endeavor to head the Indians off
in the While Rock country. tn" |.
L ranch is part of the old Pedro
Altube ranch.
The posse took nothing but their
arms from here. They are
determined to capture the murdr-
Gus band, alive if possible, but
dead if necessary. They have a
hot trail and should head off the
Indians in few days. Let us hope
that none of the posse will be
injured in their attempt to rid the
country Of this murderous hand of
Indian cutthroats.

WOULD INCREASE SALARIES

Assemblyman Schmidt of Nye
county has introduced a bill to
raise the salaries of county officers.
His bill is taxed upon a classical
tion of counties according to the
assessed valuation as follows:
First claas-All countise having
an assessed valuation of $40, 900, 900
or over.
Second class All counties having
an assessed valuation of more
than 100000 and less than $40,

Third class-All counties having
an assessed valuation of more than
So, 600, 600 and les than Sc, 600, OGO.
Fourth class-All counties having
an assessed valuation of more than
81. 100000 and less than $1,000
900.
Fifth ciass-All counti~s having
an assessed valuation of less than
100000. 49,.
In counties of the first class
the Officials salaries shall be as
follows: Sheriff, Sd, 900; district
attorney, $4,000; recorder, So, 600 ::
county clerk $4,000: treasurer
$4,000; assessor. $4,000; county
commissioners, $500.
Counties of the second class
Sheriff, So. 500; district attorney,
$4,000; recorder $4,000; county
clerk, 5000: treasurer, $4,000
assessor. $4,000; county commits
sioners. $500.
Counties Of the third class
Sheriff, $4,000; district attorney,
$4,000; recorder, $2,4OO; county
clerk. $2,400: treasurer, So, 400;

$4,000; recorder. 81 800; county
clerk, 81, 800; treasurer 81 500
assessor $1,000; county commits.
sioncrs, $500.
The bill has been referred to the
committee on judiciary.
AS the assessed valuation of Elkc
county is over SIS, 100000, it
would fall in the first class, &C.
cording to this bill, and the salary
of all the officers. except the county
commissioners, would be gre ell,
incr eased should this bill become 6
law. The increase of salaries
would be as follows: Sheriff
$1,000; district attorney, $4,000;
recorder, $1,000 clerk $1,000;
treasurer. $1,000; assessor, $500
making total increase Of 300
year in the salary roll of this
county.
So far as We have been able to
learn there has been no demand
from the people of this county for
an increase in the salary of any
county official, except the county
treasurer. There is a demand on
the part Of many taxpayers of the
county that this salary be increased
to 81, 900.
The Elko county Legislators
should see that this bill is sent to
the scrap heap,

The vast amount of Presidential
timber in the Democratic party
is an almost sure indication of
party success in 1912. And the
significance of it all is the quality
of the timber. A list is sufficient
to indicate this-GoverLor Wilson

INDIANA, to say nothing of Champ

Governor Oddie has sent a special
message to the legislature urging
the passage of Senator's Mills bill
providing water law; Wilson's bill
creating state commission OF
agriculture, irrigation and industry
Denton's bill which deals with the
Carey land act and prescribes the
manner Of handling those lands by
the State; and Merr tits bill which
creates state tax commission. Ir
regard to the latter the governor
says if it was now in force the
Central Pacific railroad would pay
S490,000 in taxes this year, instead
of 1924, 776.45 under the present

The legislature should give this
bill thorough consideration.
