As there win be many who will
not be able to furnish their own

kinds, which can be- rented at a
very reasonable price. The dance

the best costumes OF the kind.
These will be announced later.

Geo. Win9field
Is Appointed
u. 5. Senator

George Wingfeld has been APP
pointed United States Senator to
succeed the late Geo. S. Nixon.
After making the appointment,
Governor 0ddie said:
This appointment is vitally i'm
portant to the state, especially so as
the late Senator Nixon was such a
strong power in the United States
senate and in our own state. 1t is
highly necessary for us to have a
most able successor to such a dis
tinguished and useful man as was
Senator Nixon, and | am satisfied
that in Senator Wingfeld we have
one. He possesses a wonderfully
strong and pleasing personality, an
iron nerve, unexcelled business abil-
ity and integrity and an intimate
knowledge of the general condition
and needs OF the state. He is largely
identified with many of the most
important inc lstries and is constant
ly endeavoring to start new ones. In
fact | consider him one of the strong
est and ablest men in this western
country and ole who will become a
power in the United States senate
power for the good of the nation
at large as well as our state | have
watched him closely for a number
of years and know his remarkable
ability in handling difficult and COM
plex matters. He has proven him
self a truly masterful man and the
people of the state of Nevada can
well be proud of him. They can
rest assured that they will be most
ably represented in the upper house
of congress and that he will obtain
substantial results for them. He is
fundamentally a man of action and
accomplishment, broad-minded and
possessing cool, clear jungment.
aside from the reasons | have
given, Senator Wingfield is the log
ical successor to Senator Nixon
because he was his business associate
and close personal friend for years.
Together they were successful in
developing some of Nevada's great
est enterprises, which have resulted
in incalcuable benefits to the State.
Together they came to its rescue in
their efforts and fortunes at great

No DeIinquents.

The taxpayers of Douglas county
have again made an enviable record
and when the the second installment
of taxes became delinquent on the
first Monday in June every cent due
the county was in the hands of
the tax receiver. This is a
record, we believe, that can be
boasted of by no other county in
Nevada. The taxable property of
Douglas county totals to million
and a half dollars and it is distribut-
ed among four hundred property
holders. Their promptness de-
serves commentator and their
ability to dig up carries the un-
evidence of pro sperity.

This matter was brought before
the board by a petition signed by a

The petition pointed out that the
right granted to this company some

Alpine County
Settles Claim OF
43Years Standing

Alpine county paid a warrant this
week that has been due for 43 years
this being the first time since the
warrant was drawn that there were
sufficient funds on hand, other than
what has been required for conduct
ing the general business affairs of
the county from year to year.
Back in 1869 John Emo served as
Superior Judge of Alpine county
and in September of that year a
warrant was issued to him for one
months salary, amounting to $3.50.
The interest has crept up until it
amounted to S245. 5.s5, nearly twice
as much as the principal. 1t re-
quired 1896. 50 to settle an account
that originally amounted to $4,000.

Nearly a thousand automobiles
will pass through Carson Valley this
summer, making the trip over the
