Hard Luck

From the Chicago Record-Herald
A lank, raw-boned Swede swung off a
sleigh and dropped into one of Bemidji's s
saloons. In the rapid transit of diluted
alcohol stomach bitters and adulterated
whisky, the usual crowd scarcely noticed
the stranger.
But Nels Anderson the shrewd proprie-
tor shad spotted him the moment he en-
tered 1t was Nels business to know ev-
erybody and he could run a pretty fair
estimate of just how long any lumber
Jack couud drink and pay before he
kicked him out into the gutter drunk
senseless and broke. He remembered that
Steve Haugen had hired this fellow three
months before to work on a farm 40 miles
north. The fellow must have three
months pay, thought Nels. and several de-
grees of cordality crept into his greeting.

HUNTERS MUST KEEP AN
EYE ON NEW LAW

Washington, D c., Sept 29-One
Of the most sweeping and far
reaching national game laws ever
enacted will go into effect on We'd
nesdsy Of this week and the gov
ernment has sent copies Of the
Wseks- Mclean Migratory Bird Law
to all parts Of the country so as to
give the authorities and the hunt
ers throughout the country a
chance to become acquainted with
the provisions Of law.
The law fixes the seasons for
shooting migratory birds and also
divides the country into two zones
a northern and a southern, in order
that the birds may be protected to
the fullest extent. twenty-five
states are in the northern zone
while the southern zone comprises
the remaining % states.
The shooting season for the two
zones varies according to the class
ification Of the four classes OF mi
gratory bird.
: Spring shooting is absolutely
prohibited as is thesshooting of mi.
gratory birds between sunrise and
sunset. In most cases thsee months
Of open shooting for water fowl
are allowed, and in no case will
there be lesa than 80 days when
birds may be shot during the per.
iod of their greatest abundance.

GARCIA AND HIS OUTFIT
RETURN FROM RENO

G S Garcia and his ten cowboys
returned from Reno this morning.
Mr. Garcia reproduced the famous
Elko Rodeo at Moana Springs dur
ing the week Of the State Fair.
Mr. Garcia said today he and his
men had an immense time at Reno
and everyone in his outfit was tired
but happy, also everybody came
back "broke."
Mr. Garcia declared his Rodeo ex-
hibition was the biggest thing at
the state fair and the interest Of
all the visitors centered in the FL
ko show. He declared the Rodeo
was more Of an attraction than
the horse races. Garcia and his
men were treated with the greatest
courtesy and consideration by the
people in Reno. The extreme colo
prevented night performances the
latter part Of the week. Some of
the horses took to bucking even
harder than they did in Elko. Az
whole the Reno visitors got fully
as many thrills as the people did at
the Elko Rodeo. Today most Of
the cowhoys who came back with
Garcia will scatter but they will
be seen in Elko next fall.
The horses used at Reno will
reach here tonight.
According to Mr. Garcia the Elko
Rodeo will be a permanent feature
Of the Nevada State Fair in the
future. Next year the show will
be bigger and better than ever. The
experience gained this year will be
used to improve upon future shows.
The Elko Rodeo exhibition at
the State Fair did more to adver-
tise this county than anything ever
done in the past. 1t also brought
the people Of this end of the state
in closer touch with the people of
other counties and created friendly
feeling between the citizens Of this
great commonwealth.

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS

The Nevada Tax Commission, for
the purpose Of State Equalization,
propose to raise the assessed valua.

County of Elko. outside Of the limit
of cities and towns, and will when

vada, beginning Monday, October
13, 1913, apply uniform increase
to the valuations of all such prop
erty as returned by the County
Board of Equalization equivalent
to 12a per cent of such valuations
on the 1913 tax roll.
For the purpose of permit ting
interested persons TO show cause
why this raise in the assessed val

made, the said Tax Commission will
hold public hearing at the Court
house in Elko on Wednesday,, Oc-

'MAY ADJUST TAX
IN PEACEABLE MANNER

The expected row between the
Nevada State Tax Commission and
the Elko county officials may not
come of. In fact it now looks as
though the two bodies will get to-
gether in friendly way on We'd
nesday.
The state Tax Commission appar-
emily has come to the conclusion
that diplomacy and friendly spirit
will secure better results than any
arbitrary or hostile moves. Elko
officials certainly are ready to do
the right thing at all times and the
fact that the Tax Commission 10 60
Ing to come to Elko and hold a
public meeting for the benefit Of
the taxpayers shows better spirit
than has been exhibited heretofore.
1t is proposed 60 raise the assessed
valuations outside Iof the villages
in Elko county in order to establish
a uniform state tax rate. Of course
there are likely 20 be some substan-
tial raises in the assessments of
some of the biggest cattle and
sheep outfits in this county but
these men will be given chance
TO explain if their assessments are
too high.
OF course no one knows what
the Tax Commission will demand
or propose until they get here but
it looks as though the Elko Tax
rolls will not be demanded for re-
moval to Carson. It is believed
the Tax Commission will get what
information it desires while here
and that the 1913 tax roll will be
allowed to 60 to the auditor and
County Treasurer on schedule time
If this Is the case the principal
source Of possible friction with the
Commission will have been eli.
sated. On the whole il looks as
though Wednesdays nlseting would
be harmonious.
