Great Year for
amateur Athletes

The YEAR Just drawing to close has
been memorable one for followers Oh
track and field athletics. Records nave
been broken right and left, and no MARK
now seems 10 be unassailaDle.
Performances which stood for years Oh
the record books and were CONSIDERED al

Catcher Yantz, a youngster on
the Cub payroll, was released to
New Orleans yesterday. Just be-
fore the Dutchman was cut loose
Tom Needham came in and sign
ed his contract for next year.
Dick Cotter, the other kid catcher
of the Cubs, may be carried
through the season. The young
ster is there with the stick, but
erratic at throwing to bases.
With Bresnahan and Archer, two
of the best throwing catchers in
the business, to tutor him, he
should develop into a valuable
man.
Frank Chance arrived in town
this morning to confer with
Owner Farrell of the New York
Americans regarding terms upon
which the P. L. will direct the
Yanks next season. Little trou-
bic is expected over terms. Far
rel is willing to pay almost any
price for Chances services, and
his money will be large enough to
make a loud talk Franks name
may be on Yank contract be-
fore morning.
Jimmy Clabby re-enters the
ring tonight after a long absence,

Roger Bresnahan has estab-
lished a new baseball record
this time as a fnancier.
He had a fve-year contract
with the St. Louis Cards at $10,-
600 year and 10 per cent Of the
gate receipts, and played one year
of the FIVE.
After being released by St.
Louis, all the clubs in the Nation
al League were after him, partic-
ularly Chicago, Pittsburg and
Cincinnati.
Murphy of the Cubs outfoxed
Dreyfuss and Hermann by max
ing Roger such a big offer several
weeks ago that Bresnahan agreed
to sign with the Cubs as soon as
he settled with St. Louis.
If he got $4,000 from St.
Louis in settlement, his bonus
from Murphy and his salary for
three years with the Cubs will in
crease Rogers pile for the next
three years work to not far from
$4,000, which makes him the
highest-priced player in baseball.
And about $35, 900 of it will be
cash in hand.
What's more, he will be free
from managerial worries, is in the
best possible physical condition
and will play the game Of his life
with the Cubs.
The acquisition of Bresnahan
makes Archer's chances Of secur-
ing $4,000 year very slim. Jim
has declared he would not sign if

and then the public will learn to
have some confidence in reporters.
The news would have been just ms
important even if /; had be'n taken
bodily from the Ely paper. The

ADVERTISING PAYS
WHEN IN INDEPENDENT

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

INTENDING LITIGATION
FATE OF ROCHESTER

Rochester is to have another law
suit. L = curse of litigation seems
to be the lot of that typical Hum
boldt range camp. The latest suit
is that of c Colligan, 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 Mcneil and has neglected
to make prompt returns of the roy
alties due the Nenzel interests and
when he dill pay them he deposited
them with the Nenzel opposition,
which through litigation, tied up
the royalties and in consequence
Nenzel forfeited the Colligan lease.
The Colligan lease is one of the
best in the Rochester district. To
avoid losing the emoluments there
of CClligan will institute suit to
maintain his right to operate the
lease block in question perding the
life for which the lease was origi-
nally granted Winnemucca Silver

lher is there time to equalize as

this matter will be Strengthened
out just as quickly as the Commits
sion al do so.
District Attorney Carville said
statements of increases had heen
submitted where it was known TO
the local official. that the extra
amount Of stock assessed did not
exist and therefore it had not been
added 10 the rolls. In reply Mr.
OShaugnnessey 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. lie 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'Shaughncsssey said
that the data IN possession Of the
State Tax Commission was correct
in many instances and in others it
was inaccurate but on the whole il
was fairly reliable. Much Of the
information was obtained from
the forestry service in Washington
and again much data had been OBJ
tanned from the government census
dope obtained in 1910.
1t was the contention of MIR
O'Shsughnessey that all catttlemen
should supply accurate information
as TO the number Of cattle they
had and if necessary they should
count their cattle. County Com
missioner Griswold said it was his
~ pei lNlSSy 40 q NdNNISllldI ltldl IL
was a big and difficult task for the
big cattlcmen to count their cattle.
That he thought, they turned in an
approximately correct count to the
assessor
Mr. O'Shsughnessey invited infor-
nation from the cattle men pres
ent at tire meeting but no one vol
u~nteered any. However, it is ex-
pected that at the meeting this at
ternoon much voluntary iaforma-
tion will be forthcoming. The Com
mission will remain in Elko tonight
and many cattlemen are coming in
from the country. A public meet
ing will be held tonight when the
state Tax Commission anu the cat
tie and sheep men will go into all
the details Of the new law and the
proposed methods Of adjusting
the taxes.

as near equal as possible for their
share of the state taxes. In Dong

been made and the people had con.
sented TO do It. In other counties.
Eureka and Lander similar hnt
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 wear
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 10 raise the valuations in
the state in order 10 meet the de-
%tciencics and keep the state on a
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 10 remain stationary. If it
should be indicated that the pres
cnt county tax rate on the increas-
ed valuations would flood the
county treasury with surplus funds
II Is in the power of the County
Commissioners to reduce the coun-
- NuH AnNS' Jul bpt Nlc ne" anu
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'Shaughnesscy said a tent
atIvc increased horizontal rate had
been fixed by the Tax Commission
and that l2i per cent was the
amount fixed for EIko county but
that after the whole state had been
canyasscd and a fair view Of the
situation had been obtained il was
possible that the l2A per cent in
crease fixed for Elko County might
be reduced. He said that it was
impossible to equalize cash valua-
lions at this'time as it was too big
task TO settle in so short a time
and that it had been decided that
the fairest way or manner Of taxa
ton was a horizontal Increase. Mel

sioners sitting as a Board of Equal
izstion met today at the court
house and the results Of the fore
moor conference appear to be 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 prcpos-
ed changes were to be brought
about. Mr. O'Shaughnessey tx
planned that the matter of equsliz-
ing the state taxes vas u stipend
Gus undertaking and all points in
controversy could not be settled at
once, but adjustments o. valua-
tons 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 horiz, ntal increase of
l2t per cent in f. 10 county on all
valuations except UGH as are lawful
ly exempted. He believed il would
take three years to fully oqualizc
the taxes Of Nevada so that a
square deal would be had NIL the
way round. Heretofore the state
assessment has been SOL, 900, 900
but this year it was necessary to
bring the valuation up to $ll4,-
600, 900 in order to bring in sufic-
lent revenue to meet the sum nee.
essary to run the states affairs.
This means a raise of about So
cents on every 500. The state
tax rate this year is 66 cents: next
year it will be cut TO GO cents.
This reduction is provided by law.
MIR O'Shaughnessey said no par
ticular line Of industry was aimed
al in increased state valuation but
thus far the railroads and public
service corporations were bearing
the most Of the burden. The in
crease in valuation of Elko county
will be about 81. 1000. 900 and of this
over 81 200, 900 will fall on the
Western Pacihc alone.
County Commissioner Griswold
speaking for the general situation
In Elko county declared he thought
the cattle and sheep men 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 valua-
lions was necessary.
