TAX ROLL REMAINS
OVER At CARSON CITY

What was some time ago feared
by local county officials has come
to pass. The State Tax Commiss-
ion demanded and got the Elko
County Tax roll for 1918. The
County Commissioners turned the
roll over to the state Commission
for that body's use. The roll went
to Carson nearly u week ago and
was supposed to be back in Elko
yesterday or today at the latest.
The roll is not back in Elko and
the Good Lord and the local off
cials don't know when it ever will
return. Word came from Carson
this morning that the State Tax
Commission has not yet done a
thing with the Elko Tax roll and
no one appears to know when the
State Tax Commission will take un
the Elko roll or get through with
it.
The tax law provides that the
roll should have gone to Auditor
Greathouse on October 6, and after
he had made his extensions which
take lot of time and work, the
roll should go to the county Treas
urer the first part Of November.
But as the matter stands it may be
one or two weeks before the tax
Commission releases the Elko roll.
When it comes back the County
Auditor will have to do his work
before he can turn the roll over
and it may be the middle or last
of December before County Treas
urer Miller can begin collecting
taxes. In the meantime the f.
nancial affairs of Elko County are
left high and dry by the action of
the State Tax Commission. There
is beginning to be heard a lot of
grumbling over the present state
of affairs.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH OLD NEVADA

1t was somewhat Of disappoint-
ment, when touring the valley in
the work Of preparing this edition
to sit at table of one of the hos
pitable farmers and be served with
meat that came in a cold storage
ship from Australia while outside
were lowing herds and vast stacks
of hay.
At another ranch house the milk
served came from cans that came
from far away state while in the
door yard were cavorting steeds
mounted by cowboys who has just
returned from a round up of cattle
that were being fed for the winter.
Being fed" is a guarded express
sion, for the stock was not owned
by the rancher. The herds were
shipped in by a California meat
company and were being fed for
the winter.
Again we stopped and enjoyed
an appetizing meal of ham and
eggs. One of the shells of the soft
boiled" still bore the legend,

God knows what was the year,
but the evidence was absolute that
the hen fruit had come out of cold

the mother was either pining away
in old age in some far-off state or
had already crossed to the great

After enjoying the ham and eggs
we were shown the splendid pork

ing for the market. The ham, by
the way. nad been brought from
Kansas City while the hogs were
to be shipped to Omaha.
At still another ranch the good
hostess apologized for the lack of
vegetables speaking queriously of
the merchant who failed to pro-
vide her with California grown
cauIiflower but at the same time
her husband boasted OF the fact
that he was planning to ship five
carloads Of potatoes.
The wicked grocer was visited
upon our return to town and was
asked if he carried honey stock. We
were informed that he had Just re-
ceived some excellent Utah honey
in glass jars.
And this WIS less than an hour
after one of the farmers who is al

Government With Record Of
Murdered WOr1an's Birth
Slain bride native OF ELkO

ent for the year 1872 form one of
the most important records to be
had in the trial of Porter Charlton
now on trial in Italy for the murd-
er of his wife at Lake Como, Italy
some years ago. Mary C Scott
Charlton was murdered by her hus-
band and he is now being tried for
his crime. The trial hHs been in
progress for some weeks and re-
Gently the prosecuting attorney
called for all the records in the life
of the young woman. The Consul
General at San Francisco wrote to
County Recorder Greathouse for
certified copy Of the record Of the
birth of Mary Crittendon Scott wEo
was the murdered wife of Charlton.
A thorough search. of the birth re-
cords of the county failed to reveal
any record of the woman's birth.
The Consul General was so inform
q.
This morning Recorder Great
house received another letter from
the Italian Consul who said the
woman was born in July, 1872. The
old records were again searched
but no birth records were found
prior to 1875. But in the Record
er's office are the files of the Elko
papers and Mr. Greathouse found
the following paid birth notice in
the Elko Weekly Independent of
Saturday, July 13, 1872:
BORN Elko, July 7. 1872
to the wife of H. H. Scott,
daughter"
1t will be observed that in this
notice the name of the daughter is
not given, but without doubt this
daughter was the Mary C Scott
whose bir:h record the Italian au-
thorities are so anxious to obtain.
The Italian Consul at San Francisco
was today informed by Mr. Great
house that there was no official
county record of the woman's birth
and that the only possible record
was the birth notice in the Inde-
pendent, which Of course is not
official, in legal sense.
1t is probable that the Italian
Consul General will have a photo
graper take picture of the page
of the Independent containing the
Srott girls birth notice and that
this notice will be forwarded to
Italy to form a part of the evidence
in the great trial now in progress.
In all its long career the IDde-
pendent has been Elko's one big
and best newspaper and il anything
ever happened the public was sure
to get ALL the news if they read
the Independent. When great gov
e Nents like Italy have to rely
on the Independent for their in,
Formation as they have to do in the
Porter Charlton case it shows In
what confidence this paper is held
throughout the whole world. Other
papers have come and gone in Elko
but the Independent goes on for
ever, live, progressive and leading
all the papers in this end of Neva-
da.
