If merchant has to carry goods
over another season, the real reason
is probably that he neglected to tell
the public about them with sufficient
clearness and emphasis. The general
public are not mind readers A first

pains to make the fact generally
known few people find it out.

Big Increase In
Railroad Assessments

From pamphlet issued recently by
the Nevada Tax commission it has
been learned that the assessed valid
alton of railroad property in Lincoln
county has been materially increased.
This year it has b en- fixed at
S3.SS5,756, as against $2,l09,496 inI
l9la-or an incr ase of $l.276,26
These figures are arrived at in this
way: The main line Of the San Pes
dro, Los Ang.ees G Salt Lake rail-
road in the county was assessed III
1913, at s1,9S7, 1876; and sl,99S.5S3, in
the year 1918; the Caliente &
Phoebe branch, s110,10O in 1913, and
1921, 800 in 1914. The Phoebe Pacific
Railroad was assess d at 2,200 in
1913; this year it is increased to $l7,-
500.
The full cash value of each mile
of main line track of the SanPedro
Los Angeles & Salt Lake is fixed
at $4,000, while the full cash value
Of all track is placed at S40,076.
Based on SO per cent assessment
of the full cash va'ue, brings the as
sessed valuation for each mile Of
main line track at $4,000, and that 1
ali track at S24o4577, is against $40,
44s ,0l and 16,3s6.3S. in 1913.

main track CT tha Caliente & Phoebe
is flxe at $4,000 and Ct all track
at $lI,2J9.S, ASS sssad at 60 PEI

respectively, as against $S13.23 an
$69715, in 1913.
A recapitulation covering all line
Of railroad in the state shews tha
the assessed valuation placed upo
them this year foots up to $47 500
62i. as against f43,SS9 ,604 in 1913
or an increase Of $4211,G17. Thus
