James Parker, were the best OF
Friends, and there was no grievance

Judge Phelan said that grave
question OF the rights OF ROSTERS to
crow was involved In the case, but he
advised Parker TO make a fricassee

come involved In litigation over the
matter. Parker said the rooster
would be served soon. with biscuits.

when IN INDEPENDENT

Last night the Independent told
how two suit cases of girls under
clothes were found in John McFar-
lanes auto yesterday morning. The
mystery of how they had got there
had not been cleared up when the
Independent went to press. 1t was
supposed somebody had put up
job on John who is a practical jok-
er himself, but it now appears that
the girls underwear got into Johns
auto by mistake. The fact is
young lady in town mistook Nc
Faralane's auto for that of her bro
ther .in-law. Then when suddenly
she lost track Of her underclothes
she had about as big a panic as Me
Farlane did when he opened one of
the suitcases and found what its
contents was.
The story in last nights Inde-
pendent was read by both McFar-
lane and the young lady who own.

who had her clothes. The brother.

her treasures back to her. There-

BARBARY COAST IS

San Francisco, Oct. 1.-The "Bar-
barry Coast" known throughout the
whole world finally passed into his
tory last night when great crowds
packed its resorts to suffocation.
The hundreds of lookers-on remain
ed until midnight when the police
closed the doors. This notorious
night life of the Bar barry Coast"
mixed with cocktails and dance-hall
girls is n0w matter of history.
No more will the ribald jeBts and
laughter of the crook, the sport,
the scarlet women and the sea far
ing man or tourists be heard in any
resorts along the coast" A land
mark of San Francisco and the Pa
cific coast is no more and it is be-
lieVed that this notorious district
is forevs@ wiped out. The 500
dance hall girls are now in the care
of the police. 1t is up to the Off
GERS to provide for these women.
1t is one of the biggest problems
that ever confronted the city au.

ELKO COUNTY CATTLeMEN
TO FORM ORGANIZATION

The Northern Elko County Live
stock Association will have a dele
CATION meet at the Sheriff's office
in Elko, Oct 5 at l o'clock in the
afternoon and the members desire
to meet as many stockmen in Elko
County as can be there to discuss
the organization of all stockmen
of the county in oruer to abolish
the stealing Of cattle which has
been going on for some time and
to create closer relationship
among the cattlemen of the county.
By the formation of strong cat
tlemen's association it is believed
that the war on the cattle rustlers
can be carried on with more sue
cess. Certain cattlemen have al
ready got together and raised q
large slSn. to be paid as a reward
for the detection and arrest of any
cattle thieves.
Reports Of the depredations of
cattle rustlers are being heard ev-
cry day and the cattlemen are de-
termined to wipe out the rustlers
either by lawful or shot gun meth
ods. With all the cattlemen of El-
ko county banded together it is be-
lieved the pests of the range can be
routed.

.UNEND|NG LITIGATION
FATE OF ROCHESTER

Rochester is to have another law
suit. The curse of litigation seems
to be the lot of that typical Hum
boldt range camp. The latest suit
is that of G CUlligan, ct al, against
the Rochester Mines Company. The
conflict arises over the payment of
royalties. CoIligan is a lessee from
the Weaver Mines Company con-
trolled by Nenzel and has neglected
to make prompt returns of the roy
alties due the Nenzel interests and
when he did pay them he deposited
them with the Nenzel opposition,
which through litigation, tied up
the royalties and in consequence
Nenzel forfeited the ColliRan lease.
The Colligan lease is one of the
best in the Rochester district. To
avoid losing the, smoluments there
of Colligan will institute suit to
n aintain his right to operate the
lease block in question pending the
life for Nhich tbe lease was origi-
nally granted.-W Winnemucca Silver

impossible to equaliZe cash valua-
tions at this''time as it was too big
task to settle In so short time
and that it had been decided that
the faiSest way or manner of taxa
tion was a horizontal increase. Nei-
ther is there time to equalize as
sessment and valuations between
individuals at the present time but
this matter will be strengthened
out just as quickly as the Commits
sion can do so.
District Attorney Carville said
statements Of increases had been
submitted where it was known to
the local officials that the extra
amount of stock assessed did not
exist and therefore it had not been
added to the rolls. In reply Mr.
O'Shaugnnessey said it was largely
a matter of discretion With the To-
cal officials. The main point being
to get all the taxable property on
the rolls. He said it was not the
purpose of the Tax Commission to
be arbitrary but rather to cooper
ate with the local officials of the
county and help them in every way
possible. Mr. O'Shaughnesssey said
that the data IN possession of the
State Tax Commission was correct
in many instances and in others it
was inaccurate bot on the whole it
was fairly reliable. Much of the
information was obtained from
the forestry service in Washingt ton
and again much data had been OBJ
tanned from the government census
dope obtained in 1910.
1t was the contention of Mr.
O'Shaughnessey that all catttlemen
should supply accurate information
an 90 the number of cattle they
had and il necessary they should
count their cattle. County Com
missioner Gsiswold said it was his
experience, as a cattleman that it
was a big and difficult task for the
big sattlemen to count their cattle.
That he thought, they turned in an
approximately correct count to the
assessor
Mr. Shsughnsssey invited infor-
nation from the cattle men pres
ent at the meeting but no one vol
unteeTed any. However, It is ex-
pected that at the meeting this af-

The Nevada State Tax Commits
sion and the Elko County Commits
sioners sitting as a Board of Equal
ization met today at the court
E;Suse and the results of the fore
oa conference appear to he most
satisfactory to all concerned. Chair
man O'Shaughnessy OF the Tax
Commission explained in detail
what the Tax Commission sought
to do and how the various prepos-
ed changes were to be brought
about. Mr. O'Shaughnessey ox-
planned that the matter of equaliz-
ing the state taxes was a Btupend-
GUS undertaking and all points in
controversy could not be settled at
once, but adjustments os valua-
sions and the manner of making
them would be gradually worked
out in the next three years. He
said that this year it was proposed
to make a horizontal increase Of
l2a per cent In Elko county on all
valuations except such as are lawful
ly exempted. He believed il would
take three years to fully equalize
the taxes Of Nevada 30 that q
square deal would be had all the
way round. Heretofore the state
assessment has been $10l 900, 900
but this year it was necessary to
bring the valuation up to $ll4.-
100000 in order to bring in suffic-
lent revenue to meet the sum nee
essary to run the states affairs.
This means q raise of about 81
cents on every 500. The state
tax rate this year is Sc cents; next
year it will be cut to 60 cents.
This reduction is provided By law.
MIR O'Shaughnesaey said no par
ticular line Of industry was aimed
at in increased state valuation but
thus far the railroads and public
service corporations we're bearing
the most of the burden. The In
crease in valuation Of Elko county
yill be about $4,000, 900 and of this
&.3r $l,000,Oo0 will fall on the
Western Pacific alone.
County Commissioner Griswold
speaking for the general situation
in Elko county declared he thought
the cattle and sheep mems Of this
county were liberal in giving their
stock this year. He thought they
we're taxed enough. He did not
think any increase in their vslua-

tions was necessary.

IlOHS was necessary.
Mr. OShaughnessey said that it
was the purpose of the Tax Com
mission the make the taxation of
the various counties of the state
as near equal as possible for their
share of the state taxes. In Doug
las county 25 per cent raise had
been made and the people had con-
sented to do 1t. In other counties,
Eureka and Lander similar but
not as high raises had been made
and there bad been no objection.
Humboldt's increase was about the
same as Elko's.
County Commissioner Patterson
asked the reason for the shortage
in the state funds.
Mr. O'Shaughnessey explained
that the States borrowing capacity
is limited by law to $500, 900 year
and that the state tax rate had
been reduced so suddenly that the
, state had been running behind Tor
several years. The state now has
borrowed up to the limit and it is
necessary to raise the valuations In
the state in order to meet the de-
ficiencies and keep the state on q
cash basis. The state tax rate call
not be raised so it is necessary to
increase the valuations to get
money enough to- carry on the state
government. But, he explained,
while valuations are raised il does
not follow that the county tax rate
has to remain stationary. If it
should be indicated that the pres
ent county tax rate on the incrsas-
ed valuations would food the
county treasury with surplus funds
il Is in the power of the County
Commissioners to reduce the coun-
ty tax rate, but rot the new and
higher valuations. The cause of
the deficit in state revenue was
that the slump in the state tax rate
had been too sudden and abrupt.
Mr. O'Shaughnessey said q tent
ative increased horizontal rate had
been fixed By the Tax Commission
and that 12a per cent vas the
amount fixed for Elko county but
that after the whole state had been
cnnvassed and fair view of the
situation had been obtained 1t was
possible that the 12A per cent In
crease fixed for Elko County might
be reduced. He said that it was
