WILL MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS

County Assessor J. w. Sitton re
turned Saturday from a brief stay
in Carson City where he learned the
aims and desires of the members of
the state tax commission insofar as
the conduct of his office is affected
Mr.. Sitton has been instructed to
adjust the values of this county &C
cording to his notions OF fairness,
it apparently being the ann Of the
tax commission board to allow the
various counties of the state to han
die the matter of preparing the tax
rolls for 1913, though following the
completion of the work the rolls must
be submitted to the tax commission,
which has statutory powers to adjust
any seeming discrepancy that may
exist.-Churchill Standard.

NEW TARIFF
DON'T HURT

Sugar may be allowed TO come in
free but this will not be allowed to
affect the development OF the beet
sugar factory at Fallon, nor the rails
ing of beets by the farmers. |. II.
Kent a business man Of Fallon, and
vice-president and resident head of
the sugar beet factory. who has been
visiting in Reno and returned home
this afternoon, declared this morning
that the company is offering a flat
rate Of So per ton this year for the
beets. incidentally he declares that
the company has assurances OF 1000
acres of beets from farmers living
around Fallon. So the outlook for
the big factory which when fully de
veloped. will mean fully as much TO
Reno as it does to the neighborhood
in which ii is located. is a bright one.

YOUNG M|LLWARD
T0EXPLORE PETEN
Believes GuatemaIan Territory
Was Seat of Oldest CiviIiza-
ton on Continent.

Plans for the organization of an eX-
pedition to Central America to explore
the ancient ruins of the territory of
Peten, Guatemala, are being made By
Russell Hastings Miliwari, fellow oc
the Royal Geographical Society Of Lon
don, life member of s.hs American
Museum of Natural History, and a
member of scores of scientific and his
torical societies. =
Mr. Millward, who has just returned
from five months exploring trip in
southern Mexico, declares the ruins of
Peten which borders Mexico on two of
its sides. rival those of ancient Egypt.
The expedition will be equipped for eX-
cavating the ruins, obtaining what ex-
hibits are desired for American socie-
ties and photographing others. During
the last few years Mr.. Millward has
explored much of southern Mexico and
map of Peten. a territory that never
previously had been fully explored.
Returning to Washington to spend
Christmas with relatives. NJ Millward
brought back valuable specimens col
lected on the five months expedition.
He had sent the bulk of his collection
earlier by boat. On this last trip he
explored the ruins Of. the ancient Maya
Indians in Yucatan. collected specimens
OF animals for the New York Geological
Gardens and specimens Of tho pearls OF

Friends of Mr.. Millward. who are
proud of the achievements of the young
explorer, declare his record of exploring
1900 miles of territory on foot is one
that never has been equalled. While
much of the ground covered is in Cen
trail America and Mexico, he also has
made exploring trips into South Amer
lea and Africa. '
A collection of $1,000 films of pictures
taken on his trips is one Of Mr.. Mill
wards dearest possessions, and many
Of them are of great value from a sci
entific and historical standpoint.
The Peten expedition will start the
last Of January. Mr.. Millward will be
accompanied on this trip by DIR. II. J.
Spinder. the Harvard authority. There
will be seventy Maya Indians as guides
and workers.
While the, Petcn expedition is iiS

explorations in Maya Indian ruins in
