COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WORK ON EQUALIZATION

The County Commissioners, yes
terday together with Recorder

They went over the mortgages in
the Recorders Office and checked
up with the tax roll. No increases
or decreases were made in the as
sessmsnts as compiled by the Asses-
sor.
Last year the amount of taxable
property in Elko county was $18,-
418,O64. In 1913 it is $2O,552,-
486. The rate of taxation is
$l.34 for the county and &c cents
for the state making total Of So
for the county and state taxes.
The assessed valuation of the real
property in Elko County in 1913 is
S19, 9,803,234 and the personal prop
erty is $749,262.
Out the great amount of taxes
assessed in 1912 only $238.45 WAS
uncollected by County Treasurer
Miller. This is probably the most
remarkable showing ever made in
any county in the United States.
In other words nearly every dollar
Of taxes was collected.
1t is a well known fact that Elko

bit of information yesterday. 1t

subject for poor Scoop. Recol-

But to be frank why does he take
the public into his confidence and

audience, small. tho it be-only.. q
few people ever see his insignificant
sheet, but why bore them with his
personal affairs. If he must tell

sticking your nose into other peo-

faults are your besetting sins and

.ELKO RODEO HAS
FAVOR OF CROWD

A near repetition of many bull

Springs yesterday afternoon when
one of the wild steers used in the
bull-dogging contest tried to infest
the bleachers with it's presence aud
incidentally gave several hundred
spectators decided thrill.
The Elko rodeo and wild west
show was pronounced a decided
success and won. The final verdict
was that Garcia had some really
bad horses and congregation of
clever riders who rode them
straight up" and did no leather
pulling.
The star men were seen in action
yesterday as we'll as the two wo-
men riders who are a little better

Mrs Bernal went through an excit-
ing experience when her belt
caught over the horn of the saddle
as the horse was pitching, whipping

ing her down fail. She won loud
applause by her plucky ride. Mrs

feature that met the approval OF
the crowd was the practice of pro.
ducing one horse after another

FAKE POLITICAL DOPE

The political dope" issued from
time to time by Louis A Spellier
in the Reno Gazette is about as
reliable as falsehood and misin-
ationforms could possibly be.
In yesterdays edition of that un-
reliable paper appeared the name
of Isaac Griswold of Elko County
as a probable candidate for Cover
nor on the Democratic ticket.
Isaac3 Griswold is chairman of
our board of County Commissioners
and one of our most respected citi-
zsns. He is an able and clean man
who would grace the governors
chair with becoming dignity; but he
is and always has been a Republi-
can. Whether the Gazette is trying
to read him out of the party, or by
bringing him out as a candidate on
the Democratic ticket trying to
injure him is not quite clear. How
ever one thing is certain. No such
primitive politics as the Gazette Is
playing will do that paper or the
party it stands for any good in
Elko County. Such political tactics
is only childs play and often tends
to hold people up to ridicule or
does them positive injury by put
ting them in false position.

No testimony was adduced to
show Brophy had committed the
robbery or sold the goods. The
case against Brophy is only circum-

Gated and the testimony this morn

ELKO'S BIG POWER PLANT

F o Broili who has just return
ed from Lamoille, Elko county,
where he was associated with Prof
J G Scrugham of the University Of
Nevada in the design and construc-
tion Of the Elko-Lamoille electric
power plant brings word that the
plant is practically completed and
will be in operation in less than go
days. 1t has been constructed
within the estimates which were
made. A number of university
students we're employed at the
plant during the summer under
Prof. Powers, Prof Scrughams as
sistant at the university says the
Reno Gazette.
The Elko-Lamoille plant is the
first hydro-electric plant of any
magnitude built solely by Nevada
engineers and with Nevada capitol.
1t represents an investment of
about $l25,000. 1t will serve a
large portion of Elko county. The
present capacity is 800 horsepower
at Lamoille which can be increased
to as much as 5000 horsepower
when occasion demands.
Three miles of t1uma were built
In a canyon so rough and inaccess-
ible that the material could not be
carried by ordinary means of team
ing or even on pack burros. By
the installation of tramway and
several novel features of engineer
ing construction, the cost of build
ing the fiume was reduced to SO a
thousand board feet, a much lower
figure than could be obtained from
any outside contractor.
The pressure line is a combina-
tion of wood and steel pipe operat-
ing under head 0f 900 feet, The
power house is built of concrete
blocks made from sand and gravel
found on the ground. The cost of
this fire proof power house was no
more than one of the ordinary tim
ber construction would have been.
The transformers and tightening
arresters are of new type to this
district, designed 10 obviate some
of the difficulties experienced by
other plants in this state.

handled by B G Mcbride, a 1907

yersity and is remarkable for the

WAGES AND PRICES.

eusar Beet Farmers and Workers 0sa
Much Higher Rates Here.
The difference between the condi.
tlons under which beet sugar Is pro-
duced in the United States and Bu-
rope is strikingly shown by q report
just published as a United States SEN
ate document. Summarizing lit re-.
ports from various European countries.
this document shows that 60 cents G
day was the highest rate earned by
men working In the European beet
fields, while 46 cents was the average
rate. In all the European countries,
however, the greater part Of the field
labor Is done by women and children
at wages ranging from 10 cents q day
for children In Russia to 80 cents q
day for women In Denmark. To these
poor laborers the $500 a day, which
represents the average earnings Of field
workers In the United States, must ap.
pear princely income.
Among tbe factory workers engag ged
In beet sugar production the difference
is equally striking. The men working
In the factories Of the great European
sugar making countries, France and
Germany, receive an average daily
wage of "a cents, according to ofTiciai
figures published by their own govern
ments. The average American wage
for employees In the beet sugar fac.
tories, $500 day. Is moro than three
times as great.
Likewise the farmers who grow the
beets In Europe receive only 81 to $3.50
ton for their crops, although thsy
pay four to Eve times as much rent for
their land as the American farmer
does.
While these figures serve 20 show
why It ia that Europe can produce
sugar cheaper than the United States
and why the present tariff on foreign
sugar is necessary to enable American
factories to continue these high rates,
It is an interesting fact that tho only
important country Of Europe whore
the people are able to buy sugar
cheaper than In tho United States is
England. Even in England the price
paid for the sugar most generally used
is as high as the prices paid hero. On
the whole the lot Of an American sugar
beet grower or worker must be coa-
sldered far preferable to that Of his
European competitor.
