MOST NOTABLE
R.R Event OF YEAR

Reno and Nevada are fairly well ad-
vertised in the second issue of the Ma
tion's Business, the new publication
put out by the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States of America. The
article in question was written by G.
T. Stevenson, secretary of the Reno
Commerc.a club, and calls the atten-
tion of the people all over the country
to Nevada's possibilities in business
and farming. The article is headed
"Nevada g New Rail Line Opens
Rich Territory for Traffic and Farms, -
and tells of the new Fernley- .4assen
branch Of the Southern Pacific rail.
read. The story follows
Aside from the double tracking of
the Southern Pacific railroad across
the state, now being done in sections,
the most important late event for the
state of Nevada is the railroad now
being built by the Southern Pacific
company from Fernley, New, to Susan
vile, Cal.
"This railroad, known as the Fern
ley-Lassen branch, commences at
Fernley, 33 miles east of Reno, on the
main overland line of the Southern
Pacific COMPANY, from which point it
proceeds north, skirting the western
shores of Pyramid lake ,one of the fin-
est and most unique bodies of water
in America; thence northwesterly to
Amadee, distance of 80 miles, where
it crosses the Nevada, California and
Oregon railroad; thence to Susanville,
100 miles.
"This will open up large territory
%~a 90
will permit the shipping of hay, grain,
cattle, sheep and other live stock be-
sides, it will stimulate the settling of
large tracts Of agricultural land, the
settlement of which has been in great
part delayed for want of railway ia
cilities. The immense tracts of tim
Der that will be made accessible will
accord large revenue to the road for
many years to come, as it will trans
port many billions of feet of fine mer-
chantable lumber to the eastern mar
kets.
"Nevada needs farmers for its i'm
mense tracts of land now lyino idle,
and the building of every additional
railroad is greatly welcomed as it fa-
eiltates settlement, increases produc-
tion and creates markets
Mr.. Stevenson, who is the counsel
for Nevada in the national organiZa-
tion of chambers of commerce, like the
eounsels in other states, writes g. let
ter of this sort to the publication in
question once each month. As the pa
per goes TO every part of the United
States and is closely scanned bv many
persons interested in the verv line of
news it carries il can be seen that
this will mean a great amount of val
liable advertising for this state, and,
of course, Reno, as every letter ear
ries a Reno date line.--Gazette Sep
tember 26.

Winnemucca Northern the Most I'm
portant Railway Event.

The above article would have been
nearer the truth had it stated that the
most important late railroad event was
the commencement of the construction
Of the Winnemucca Northern. The
Reno article states that "Nevada
needs farmers for its immense tracts
of land now lying idle and the build
irg of every additional railroad is
greatly welcomed, as it facilitates set
tlement inereases production and
creates markets.
The construction of the Winrenlucca
Northern means more to Winnemucea

FAREWELL RfCFP.
ton TO NELSON'S

An event of more than ordinary in
terest was farewell reception and
banquet rendered their friends at Bat
tie Mountain, on the evening of Sep
tember %, by Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Nelson, of Stone House, Nevada, who
are about to depart from their old
home, where they have resided for the
past forty years.
The couple received their quests at
the home of A. ID. Lemaire and after
an hour of pleasant social intercourse,
all repaired to the Capital hotel, where
a rare and sumptnous banquet awaited
them. The tables were tastefully dec
Grated for the occasion and the menu
included the seasons choicest deli
cacies.
Frequently interspersing the feast,
asts to the health and continued
prosperity of the host and hostess
were drunk and were responded to in
a feeling manner Concluding the re-
past many short talks were made, and
lile wit and humor abounded the
speakers dwelled chiefly upon their re-
grets at losing from this community
lifelong friends and neighbors of such
true and estimable worth. Seldom is it
given to a people to have in their
midst, for so long time, such well
beloved and highly esteemed citizens
as Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Nelson, and
their many friends sincerely hope their
future home will be in Nevada. In fact
they feel that the state can i'll afford
to lose Mr.. Nelson, who has been SO
closely identified with its growth, po-
litical and social, for almost a life
time.
We wish them Godspeed and con-
tinued happiness wherever they may
make their new home.
!" And now as down life's sunset slope
These two are gently borne
May blessings greet them to the end
As up the hills of morn.'
Following are the guests who par
took of the banquet:
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nelson, Mrs
w. r. Jenkins, Mr.. A. d. Lemaire, Mr.
and Mrs. James Blossom, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Licking, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Lemaire, Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Han

Mines MUST PAY
Income TAX ON ORE

BY recent decision of Judge Polk,
of Denver, in the United States Dis
trict Court, the income of the internal
revenue Office from the corporation tax
will be double from the excise tax of
mining corporations. A copy Of the
decision was received yesterday at the
office of the collector of internal reve-
nue. in this city from Commissioner
Royal r. Cabell and sets forth the de-
cision handed down in the test case of
Stratton's Independence against F.
w. Herbert, interna revenue collect
or of Denver.
The corporation tax has been prac-
tieally evaded by some mining com
panies by setting down the output of
the mine as deterioration in the value
of the property. If the amount of ore
extracted amounted to $1,000,000, for
instance, it was claimed that the mine
had deteriorated in value $1,O00,00O,
thus offsetting the entire income. The
decision states in part:
Mining corporations are included
in the act Of August 5, 1909, imposing
special excise tax. The net income
of mining company is the value of
the ore extracted after deducting the
cost of extraction, treatment, admins
tering the company and reasonable
reservation for contingencies. The
value of ore extracted cannot be charg-
ed off as depreciation in determining
net ncome.'
1t was said yesterday that the pres
ent income from mining companies of
Utah has averaged about 100000 a
year, and that under the new ruling
the amount should be increased to
$400, ,000-Herald- Republican.

OCTOBER,

OCTOBER
A scene at Armageddon,
A warrior in tin,
And every now and then q shout
Emerging from the din.
Some folks fancy Woodrow,
And others fancy Bill,
And other still for Theodore
Are very hopeful still.
A table and pitcher,
A speaker on his perch,
And here and there someone asleep,
The same as in church.
The miracle of party,
And the prefdy of doubt,
With the usual statistics
Till the watchman puts them out.
A woman with banner,
Another with a drum,
And another with curtain pole
Revolving on her thumb.
Some folks say it's nothing,
But others think it is,
And like as not it t be long
Till man is getting his.
The bull moose and the donkey.
The elephant, the zoo,
The trusts against the people,
And the false against the trpe;
But do not get excited,
Or take it very hard,
For they II all lie down together
In the same barnyard.

The gentle spirit of the fall

The gentle spirit of the fall

And the football player will appall

And sound his shrill official toot,
And the moth will drill few more

In everybody's winter suit.

You may destroy his throbbing Tyre

death alone can quench the fire that

At such time, though you may laugh,
It would as probably avail
To catch the acrobatic calf

One Whit of autumn in his nose,
And lowering his playful head,
His rear appendage still prose,
Though weighted with a keg of lead.
You can't restrain the Joy of fall
that palpitates in living things, nor
hope to dissipate the thrall in which a
poetaster sings. The calf will kick

The better quality of air
Will sped the presidential race,
And cockleburr placed here and

Will help accelerate the pace.
The troubled earth will gently sway
Beneath the violent attack,
And the trusts will hustle corn and hay
Along the fence inside the track.
The eager riders, all inclined at
least resistance to the air, will lash
their quadrupeds behind, and feei
them tagging in despair. The hungry
brutes will smell the hay, and catch
the fragrance of the corn, and in their
torture CURSE tut udy thdt SOW thO

man.
But that IS the kind of race it is, say
any creature what he will, and each
mans chance is only his with some
how keeping at it still. A strictly un-

all around is what they entered, and
THEY'VE got to make their charges
