ger on a Watch Tower closed car a
few weeks ago. She is a middle-aged
woman. The car was filed when she
came aboard. She stood alongside q
seat occupied by two business men
from the city. The one holding the
outside half of the seat arose to make
room for the woman. She acknowledg-
ed the courtesy and accepted. The
business man stood in the aisle. He
carried a lighted cigar. Presently he
put the cigar to his lips and blew on
1t in order to keep it alive" until he
arrived at his destination.
AS the conductor passed through up
the aisle he was halted by the woman
who had just been given a seat. See
that man." she said. HE is smoking
on this car in the presence Of lad
les. He ought to be removed"
The conductor investigated, but
found that the man was not smoking.
Did he give up his seat the next time?
Neither would you have done so.

is interesting to know that these con-
tractors wanted $500 more for the

OLD NEVADA
nan PASSES AWAY
At BUTTE CITY
MILES FINIEN, NOTED NINE
OPERATOR DIED AT BUTTE
LAST FRIDAY.

Word has been received in this
city announcing the death at Butte,
Mont, on Friday last, of Miles
Finlen, formerly a well known resi-
dent of the Comstock, death taking
place at the Finlen hotel after a
lingering illness.
Mr.. Finlen was born in County
Wexford, Ireland, in 1S47 and was
taken to Canada by his parents.
AT the age of IA he struck out
for himself and went to California
and later to the Comstock when
the rush was in that direction.
He went to Butte in 1886, and
for IA years was one of the larg-
est mine operators in that district.
Mr.. Finen's leases on the Buffalo,
Ramsdell-Parrot and Minnie Healy
properties we're among the most
famous of that camp
He made more than three-quar-
tiers of million out of the Rams
dell-Parrot lease alone He had
also been prominent in the racing
world, having had a stable at the
famous Gravesend park in New
York. Deceased was a member of
the knights of Columbus and the
Elks. The burial took place in
Bay City, Michigan.

S. IS the
POLL TAX RATE
FOR The YEAR
ONLY WAY TO AVOID 1T is TO
BE UNDER Fl OR OVER
90 YEARS.

CARSON CITY, March 22.-The
poll tax this year will be SO per
person up to 60 years of age and
over 81. The revenue, which will
amount to about 100000, will go
to the counties where it is paid
and 1t will be used for better roads
and highways.
There is peculiar situation aris-
ing from this act which may raise
a legal question some time. There
were two acts passed by the legis-
lature, through some error. One
gave all the money to the coun-
ties and the other gave one-half to
the state. The governor has the
bills before him. 1t is believed he
will sign the one giving all the
money to the counties, that being
the evident purpose of the legisla-
ture, while he will veto the other
act.
This law was passed in exercise
OF authority granted the legislature
by the constitutional amendment
passed at the last election. The
amendment permitted a law levying
tax of from so to 81 for high
ways. The Legislature made the
amount 81 as compromise.

NO ACTION ON
The EXPOSITION
BILL AS YET
PROBABLE THAT GOVERNOR
WILL VETO BILI4-MAY SIGN
"RESIDENCE BILL"

CARSON CITY, New, March %
Governor eddie has not as yet
acted upon the two bills in which
there is probably more public in
terest than any other two measures
that now await his decision. One
of these is the bill appropriating
$150,000 for a Nevada display at
the Panama-Pacific exposition, but
which practically gives to the lieu
tenant governor and secretary of
state--both democrats-th power
to appoint the commission in charge
of the work. Governor Oddie feels
in regard to this bill the same way
that he did in connection with the
water bill. He looks upon it in
its present form as direct attempt
on the part of the democrats to
ignore the chief executive of the
state, and he will probably veto
it, as he did the water bill. In
that event he will proceed with the
appointment of a commission, under
his authority as governor, which
will do all it can toward arrang-
ing for Nevada display at the
fair until the next legislature meets,
when the matter of an appropria-
ton will again come up. From in
terviews given out by the govern
or, it is believed, the bill will be
vetoed within the next few days.
The second bill in which there is
considerable public interest is the
six months residence" bill. 1t is
understood here that the governor
has received many communications
touching on this measure and that
they are about evenly divided.
While the governor has as yet not
given out any statement as to his
Intention, 1t is believed that he will
sign this bill as soon as he reaches
it.
