THE COUNTYS 1912 TAX ROLL
Reaches Four Million Dollar
Mark Showing Gratifying In
crease Over last Figures.

The Churchill county assessment roll
for 1912 has been totaled and shows
Assessors J. w. Sitton's estimate of a
81. 600, 900 roll to be very close to the
true figure, the assessable property of
the county footing up $4,076, 168, of
which amount $109, s31 is personal prop
erty upon which taxes were collected
co-incident with the fixing. of values.
Assessor Sitton's figures will be APP
proximately correct when the widows
exemptions have been figured. This
showing proves substantial advance
over the figures of last year, an increase
that has been rapid and uniform since
the advent of the new regime in this
valley. The trend of events in Churchill
county in recent years fully warrants
the prediction that only a few years
more will elapse uutl the county will
take its place as one of the wealthy
counties of the state.
The total value of all property, real
and personal, in Fallon is given at

Help to Elect Wilson With Your

If a Partisan.

The Standard starts this week a
popular subscription to the Democratic
national campaign fund. Every Amer
lean paper enlisted in Democracy's
cause has been requested to do like
wise and the custom is nationwide.
The plan Is strictly in accord with Gov
ernor Wilson's desires. which altogeth-
er forbid the financing of his campaign
by the big interests that elected Taft
and lest We forget, Roosevelt as well,
for which tney were never sorry.
Governor Wilson wants the national
campaign fund TO come entirely from
the people Of the United States, in
whom the ownership OF the Democratic
party will be vested for all time, if he
has his way. 1t thus happens that the
loyal papers over The country have
been asked to act as agents in gather

INFORMATION.
About How President Might
Be Elected.

The following explanation is given to
the much discussed question regarding
pluraiities and majorilies in presiden-
tial election.
A plurality of electors cannot elect
president nor, in the event of the
failure of any candidate to receive a
majority of the votes of the electoral
college, can the house of representa-
tives elect by plurality of states.
The twelfth amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States provides in
relation to the presidential electors that
THE person having the greatest num-
Der of votes for president shall be the
president, if such number be the ma
jority of the whole number appointed. /"
In the absence of such majority vote
then the members of The house of rep
resentatives vote by states, each state
having one vote. In the absence of a
majority of states voting for one man
then the yice-president Gf one be elec-
ted) shall serve as president and if the
electoral college shall not have elected
a vice-president, then the senate shall
by the vote of majority of its men,
bers, choose vice-president. The
vice-president SO chosen would serve as
president.

LOCAL TALENT SHOW.
Will Be Put ON by Episcopal
Young Folks.


Local talent will be seen and heard
in musical comedy entitled, Toxic, !"
during fair week. The entertainment
is given under the auspices of the La
dies of St. Agnes Guild, and the Senior
Girls of the Trinity Episcopal Sunday
School. The Woodiff theatre, opposite
the Churchill hotel, has been engaged
for the performances. which will be
given on the nights of September 25th
and 26th.
Toxic is the scene of the comedy,
and the situations are developed by a
group of fashionable young ladies from
a New York boarding school on a trip
around the world, in charge of chape-
ron. How the girls dispose of the chape-
ron and entertain several of the lads
from Uncle Sans navy is charmingly
told in bright lines and catchy songs.
Besides adding materially to the en-
tertainment of the fair guests the
young ladies hope tonet good sum for
their church maintenance fund. The
prices will be extremely low for the
class of entertainment presented,
which will undoubtedly be well patron
lied.
Watch the papers for further an
nouncements.

LIFE INSURANCE.
Great Sums Disbursed By Ameri-
can Companies.

can Companies.
Life insurance companies in the
United States and Canada distributed
1892, $40, 900 during the year ending
December 81, 1911, according to figures
just compiled by the Insurance Press.
Of this enormous sum S40l, 140, 900 was
paid to benefciaries for death claims,
matured endowments and other bene-
fits under the policies of level premium
companies.
The total of the amounts paid by
regular companies in dividends to pol
icy holders for surrender values, to an
nuities and on claims in foreign coun-
tries was $l9l, 800, 900. Benefits of all
kinds under policies death claims, en-
dowments and dividends-in the trans
action of regular business increased
largely in 1911. The regular compan-
les alone wrote or received $1,000, 900,
900 worth or $40, 900, 900 more than in
1910.
J The year just passed was remarkable
for large distributions to policy holders
/ in the form of dividends. The New
York reports alone show that $50,
900 was paid out in dividends, es
against S72, S75, 900 in 1910, an increase
of 1920, 900. Millions of dollars in
dividends were applied for the purchase
of annuities and paid up additions to in
surance carried. Insurance companies
which report to the New York insur-
ance department by annual statements
disbursed more than S152, 600, 600 in the
last two years.
A smaller volume of borrowing on
life insurance occurred in 1911 than in
1910. On a larger amount of insurance
! in force the loans on policies increased
only $40, 999. 600. against an increase in
1910 of S44, 1901 1t is noted that
fraternal insurance companies are
passing through an epoch of stress and
reconstruction and early disruption is
predicted for some of them. There
were forty-seven payments of S100, 900
or more On single lives during oil. OF
these the largest was S720, 2ss on the
life of Frank 7. Howard, of New

WATER USERS SHOULD ACT
Now Is The Time To Take Up
And Urge Necessity For Re-
lief From Payments.

If the water users of this project
would have their annual payments post
poned beyond December 1st, the time
set down by the reclamation act when
project construction charges must be
met, they should take matters in hand
very soon and present their petitions to
the proper authorities. In times past
1t has been the practice to procrastinate,
with hurried kilograms and neglected
detail the result in the end.
The rush act can be obyiated and
proper presentation of local needs made
in order that those in charge of govern.
ment reclamation affairs may consider
conditions as they exist and grant the
relief necessary. There is no quests
about the necessity o. postponement
of the 1912 charges. In fact in many
instances the postponement should be
in the nature of setting ahead of the
installments due, inasmuch as the sea
sonal water shortage reduced the crop
returns to almost nothing.
In any event, the payments should be
extended from Decem3er lst to Aorl
10Th next, thus allowing the local
farmers the benefit of the best markets
for their produce sales, and the local
water users should hasten to take steps

RAISING ALFALFA SEED.
is Profitable TO Mason Valley
Farmers.


j. F. Holland of this valley is going
to have fine crop of alfalfa seed this
season, so he reports, and there are
others who are raising alfalfa for the
seed in this valley. In fact, the busi-
ness was quite a revenue producer for
a number of farmers of the valley last
season. There is considerable more
money in raising seed than in any other
use that can be made of alfalfa. As
an illustration of this, Mr.. Holland had
threshed from seven tons of alfalfa
last season little over ton of seed.
The seed sold for twelve cents per
pound, or $240 per ton, and the seven
tons of alfalfa grew on less than two
acres of ground. At this rate the seed
crop returned about s120 per acre.
This was the gross yield, but taking
out liberal amount for all expense of
raising, harvesting and threshing there
would reasonably be left net income
of from $50 to $50 per acre. This may,
also, have been an exceptional yield,
but Mr. Holland thinks his crop of this
year will pan out equally as well. If
SO, it will be a greater revenue pro-
ducer than any kind of crop of forage
or grain that could be raised. 1t even
comes into the class of gardening,
where cabbage, onions and spuds are
made speciality, and produce a reve-
nue. of from $75 to s4O0 per acre.-Yer-

WILL BUILD TUNNEL.
Southern Pacific Will Reduce
Sierra Gradients.


Sierra Gradients.
A five-mile tunnel through the Sierra
Nevada mountains, between Truckee
and Ogden is one of the cherished plans
of the Southern Pacific which will with
in few years be carried into execution,
according to Robert S. Lovett, chair
man of the railroads board of direc-
tors. When completed the tunnel wi |
cost $10,000,000, and will cut down
about !, 200 feet of the present noun
tain grade, and will be the longest on
the continent.
The finished tunnel. though built only
for a single track, will be part of a
double-track system, extending prac-
tically continuously from the Oakland
Mole to Omaha. Trains will be operat-
ed through it by electricity, and the
question of power will prove one of the
most pexplexing problems yet to be
solved. The financial question of pay
ing for the tunnel and the engineering
tasks involved in making the bore are
comparatively easy. William Hood,
chief engineer of the Southern Pacific,
who built the Lucin cutoff and the road
over the Tehachapi. will conduct the
actual work of making the great bore.

4 LIGHT PRIMARY VOTE CAST
More Democratic Interest Than
Republican Manifested in Sc
lecting Party Candidates.

The vote at the primaries Tuesday
of last week was light over the entire
state. Il is doubtful il 40 percent of
the vote of the state sought expression
on that occasion. In this county some
thing like one-third of the vote put in
an appearance at the primary polls. In
all cases the Democratic vote exceeded
ed the Republican, fact that though
probably not furnishing conclusive evil
dence. shows which way the straws
are blowing in this county. Woodrow
Wilson will undoubtedly carry this
county by big margin and Democrats
generally profess to believe that all
that separates the cause from a com
plete victory is the counting of the bal
lots in November.
