NEVADA WONDER BULLION.
To the Amount of $4,000, the Re-
suit of To-Day Run at Wonder
Passed Through Town Thursday.

Thirteen bars OF bullion from the
Nevada Wonder mill, the result of a
ten-day run on ore from the Ne
yada Wonder mine, were brought to
Fallon Wednesday afternoou of last
week by the c. l. .Benadum motor
truck. Upen arrival here they
we're unloaded in the rear of The
Standard Office and placed in the
veul. of the Churchill County bank
for safe keeping until the following
day, when they were shipped to the
Selby smelling works near San Fran
cisco for further ire; tment These
bars weighed from SO TO 127 pounds
and, like the usual run of the mill
at Wonder. carry principally sill
yer, but enough gold to make the
value around so cents per ounce.
The total value of the shipment
was about $4,000 and being the
result of but ten days work at the
mine and mill, can be taken es indi-
eating something of the wonderful
richness of the property at Wonder.
Sixteen hundred dollars daily output
is certainly considerable and is ex-
celled by but few mines within the
state.
The development work now in
progress in the Neyada Wonder mine
promises to change conditions and
a6d further to the production.

HOMESTEADS HELD TAXABLE
Ii is Held That the Southern Idaho
Decision is i'm mo- Wise Similar
to Conditions Existing Here.

Some new light has been thrown
upon the subject of taxing home
steads by a copy of the decision in
the case of the United States vs..
Lincoln county, Idaho, and others
which has been received by District
Attorney T. c. Hart. This decision,
1t will be remembered. was rendered
| by Judge Dietrich, of the United
States Court of the District of Ida
ho, Southern Division, and has been
widely quoted as prohibiting the
| collection by Lincoln county, Idaho,
of taxes on homesteads before pat
ent is issued.
An examination of the decision,
however, reveals the fact that the
county was enjoined from collecting
taxes on homesteadc, because the
assessment apparently included the
interest held by the government, as
well as that held Dy the entryman.
The decision is that the interest
of the government in any lands is
not taxable, and in this respect
presents nothing new, and the Judge
expressly states that no. opinion is
expressed in that decision as to
whether or not the county officials
can assess the entryman's interest.
There are, however, numerous de-
cisions, holding that the entryman's
Interests are assessable.
From the manner of assessing in
Lincoln county, Ida, it appeared
that the governments interests wore
being taxed, and for this reason the
court held that the county could
not collect the same.
1t is claimed that in Churchill
county only homesteads upon which
final proof has been made have been
taxed, and that only the estimated
value of the entryman's interest has
been included in the assessment. II
this is true the Idaho decision does
not cover our case, for the govern
ment's interests are not involved in
Churchill county assessments and
could not be impaired by any trans
fer that might follow a tax gale.
The district attorney has found
good legal authority for taxing the
entryman's equity in homesteads
upon which final proof has been Of
fered by the claimant and accepted
by the government Many authori-
ties hold that after the necessary
proofs have been made, the title is
merely held in trust by the govern
ment, the beneficial title being vest
ed in the entryman, even to the ex-
tent of empowering him to give q
valid mortgage, or assign the entry
to another.
In the case of homesteads under
the reclamation law, patent is with
held merely as a guarantee for the
payment of water right charges,
but may be issued at any time by
the entryman paying all water right
charges due, the government reserv-
ing a lien, which is in effect, first
mortgage to guarantee the unpaid
charges.
From an examination of the Ida
| ho decision it seems apparent that
il will have no effect upon the col
| lection of taxes within Churchill
county upon which subject degree
of misapprehension now exists.

NEWELL GIVES STATEMENT
The Director of the Reclamation
service Comments Upon Western
Arid Land Conditions.

The director of the reclamation
service, F. II. Newell, has just re-
mrned to Washington after an ex-
tended tour of investigation of the
hig engineering works of the gov
srnment in Montana, Washington, Id
abo. Oregon, California, Utah, Ne
yada. Arizona and New Mexico.
with excellent crops and good
nriees the settlers on our projects
are rounding out the year in a very
cheerful frame of mind" said Mr.
Newell. Bankers and merchants
report more real money in eirenla-
lion than In previous years. old
debts are being cancelled and
credit Is more readily obtained.
parado1eal as it may seem the pros
perity of 1913 has been aeeompan-
led by a general lowering in land
priees Most land values in the ir-
rigated west were unduly advanced
during the past five years until they
had reached the point where the
vest no longer continued to attract
he people OF moderate means.
Future development of the agri-
cultural lands of the arid west Is to
be accomplished by more intelH-
gent effort TO secure settlers who
will cultivate the soil rather than
speculate on the advance in land
prices.
There Is better appreciation to-
day OF the real difficulties incident
to subduing a desert farm and also
Of the fact that the west still offers
opportunities to men OF moderate
means as we'll as to men without
ready money, but of average intelli-
genee and frugality who are willing
to work hard. Actual failures on
the government projects are rela-
lively fow In number and at the
present time II would appear that a
fairly permanent class OF settlers are
now established on the farms. There
Is also a marked change Of the atti-
tude of the public toward govern
ment activities In reclamation. In
former years unfavorable comparis-
ons were drawn concerning the cost
Of federal work. but In the light of
the financial difficulties which have
been encountered by private enter
prlses and OF the failure OF many
Of there 10 furnish dependable
water supply. the wisdom of the
governments larger outlay is no
longer questioned.
The confidence In the future OF
these irrigated lands is based upon
the excellent crop returns for 1913.
The average value per acre of prod
rcis grown on the new government |
ilrms is almost exactly the same |
b the average for the products |
grown on irrigated lands under old
nr systems. There Is everywhere |
IN the west urgent request for more
'apld extension of federal activity. |
Ind several of the western states
laye made special appropriations
or cooperation with the reclamation
eryiee."

The Lyceum Attractions.

Five big buck negroes dropped
into town last Wednesday and filled
an engagement at the Temple thea
ter, arranged by the Lyceum bureau
of Denver, Colo The colored men
acquitted themselves in fairly
creditable manner, though there has
been some criticism of their stage
mannerisms and mode of dress. In
fact they were far from representing
the acme of neatness, though in
truth the first tenor and second bass
sang very we'll for colered men hav-
ing unframed voices.

is not generally raised here.
Now that the project has actually
passed the half million mark in its

with the approval of the Executive Department has established Ger

are necessary to the commercial relations between the United states
and other countries and that such rules have brought the consular
service up to a high point of efficiency. The real truth is that these
rules have been SO devised and SO administered as to create and per
petuate an offce-holding class. The various trusts ana corporations
which are ever on the qui vive for new fields for their wares are self
ishly interested in consular appointments.
With the beginning o. the Mckinley administration IN 1897 the

sular agents are nearly all the favored friends of the great corpora

very few instances are they interested in the commodities of the
Southern farmer or manufacturer.
Unhappiy for us, however, many congressman seem to be OPP
posed to any policy which will disturb these consular trust agents

The Democrats in Congress should see that this so-called merit

CALOMEL GIVES ONLY
TEMPORARY RELIEF
So Powerful it Shocks the Liver and
Leaves it Weaker Than Before.
Dodson's Liver-Tone a Perfect
Substitute.


Nearly everybody who has ever tried
caiomel treatment for constipation or a
sluggish liver, has found that it gives
only a temporary relief. For calomel
is such a powerful drug that it shocks
and weakens the liver and makes it less
able afterward to do its duty than in
the first place.
This is one of the reasons why the
Hughes drug store would rather sell
Dodson's Liver-Tone to you than calo-
mel. We know that Dodson's Liver
Tone is a pure vegetable liver tonic
that will cure constipation quickly and
gently without any danger of bad af-
ter-effects. We guarantee it to do this
with a guarantee that is simple and
fair. If you buy a bottle of Dodson's
Liver-Tone for yourself or your chill
dren. and do not find that it is a per-
feet substitute for calomel, then come
back to the store and get your money.
If you don't get value for your money
out of this tonic, it's your right to ex
pect your money back, and we will
gladly give it to you.

vet are either embroidered at the end
in fiat satin stitch in two tones of silk
or are edged with deep silk of bullion
fringe. Fringe, in fact, plays a very
conspicuous part in the ornamentation
Of the belt, and seems for the present
to have taken the place Of the once
favorite tassel.
To wear with the cutaway coats that
are now so modish comes the waist
Goa belt, which is really part of the
coat itself. Often enough this high
belt. which is about five inches in
trasting tones to the skirt.
To finish some of the newest gowns
in cloth appears the folded velvet belt,
finishing at the left side with n long
pointed end. Three small buckles OF
plated t~affeta, fixed respectively at
the end of the belt and halfway down
the skirt are distinguishing features
of this belt and give the little touch
OF novelty that is always welcome.
Many of the long ends that fall from
the waist to the hem of the skirt are
used for fixing the new draperies in
place and are invariably caught down
either by a fancy buckle or a knot Of
silk.
The new draperies seem to demand
the ends Of the sash at the front in
order to use them for the purpose
just mentioned.
1t appears as though no gown now
adays is complete without some form
of sash. A square of embroidery often
finishes the sash end.
