YIELDING BULLION TAX

1t is interesting to note that Nye
county for the quarter ending
September 80, 1913, has just COM
pleted bullion tax returns show ing
paytf ents Of $37,l57. This forms
the greatest quarterly receipts from
bullion tax in the history OF that
county, but, when the return for
the quarter ending December 81
come in thew will be even better
than this total. One striking feature
is that the richest mine in the state
Is the..smsllest in the county. This
is the Cliff0rd-Ney company,
which shipped 1890 pounds of a
value of $2,492 "a ton, realizing
$ll,0S2. rs. The largest Individual
payer was the Belmont, which turn
ed in $27,56O.75 to the county
treasury. This involved an average
of the first and second quarter Of
1913 of tax commission orders and
another payment by the same coun-
ty as a balance remaining from
1912 by order of the tax commits
sion.
1t is reminder somewhat of
the psImy days Of the Comstock,
when the mines were il the fawer
of their ascendancy and bullion tax
payments at times exceed 500, 900
per quarter. Those we're prosper

HORSE DIES OF RABIES

The Baker City (Orc). Democrat
says:
The first death of a horse from
rabies occurred Sunday on Burnt
river when an animal owned by
William Chamberlain died after it's
condition had been noted for only a
day. The ANNA, when led to
drink Saturday, showed unmistak-
able. signs, refusing the water and
frothing at the mouth. Its tongue
was swollen twice the natural siz
and it trembled so it could hardly
stand. 1t died Sunday in great agony
The animal is believed to have been
bitten by M Of the dogs killed
at the Trimble ranch over a week
ago. According to one report
reaching DR.. Notz yesterday five
mad dogs we're killed at Hereford
Sunday and that several more in
frcted coyotes had shown them
selves.

THE WORLD WONDER

Marccni figures that the wire
lPss has thus far saved between
1900 and 1000 lives at sea. MANY
ships and lives have been lost for
want IF it. 1t will not be long
until all ships carrying passengers
will be equipped with it.

their money, observe the states

a greater advertisement than could
be accomplished in the ordinary
way by the expenditure of years of
time and enormous sums Of money.
Whatever may be the individual
opinion as to the merits of the

thing within reason to find relief.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

The following from the Silver
State published at Winnemucca,
Nevada speaks for itself.
A movement is on foot lin the
state which seems to be steadily
gaining ground, to bring before
the next session Of the legislature
the question Of length Of residence
required to gain citizenship in the
state; repeating that portion of the
present gambling law relating to
poker ard Short card" games;
legalizing horse racing and selling
Of Paris mutuals on results.
1t is urged by those interested in
the proposed LEGISLATION that the
anti-gambling and divorce" laws
have taken thousands Of dollars
from the business men Of the state,
as we'll as the large sums of license
moneys, the deficit falling on the
taxpayers, without any substantial
equivalent. 1t is claimed tina;
gambling is going on all oVer the
state with practically as much
money as ever changing hands, the
only %differe.ce being that the state
receives no revenue from the
games.
1t is understood that in case
%hofseracing and selling of mutualt
is legalized, that California horse

The exposition board has elected
Zeb Kendall superintendent Of Ne
vada's exhibit. His election was
opposed by Governor OdGi6 on the
ground that he was a member of
the state senate when the %apprupri-

Also on the ground that a superin-
tendent is not needed at this time.
If Kendall voted for the a~ppropria-

THIS WOOL GROWER HAD
No CHANGE TO LAUGH

Wool buyers are circulating
about the State of Nevada and get
ting option on wool to be delivered
in, the spring at 13 and ID cents a
pc lnd. The chances are that these
unsophisticated buyers have not
heard of tire Underwood bill that
put wool on the free list.
The Appeal advises the wool
growers to close the options at
these figures before the Democratic
tariff gets in it's deadly work.
One man in Humboldt county
said he almost hated to sell wool
at those prices because if he did he
would have no arguments to throw
at the Democrats who lived Near
him when they came around to talk
tariff.
But he finally concluded to un-
load at Id cents, although he had
been hoping all winter that wool
would drop TO 8 cents and he would
have the laugh or the Wilson adj
ministration .-Carson Appeal.

The BENTON KILLING


A dispatch went over the wires
about midnight last night that
Major Scboff, an Albert ranger,
serving under Villa, had written
a letter to a friend in VaDtouver,
B. c., stating that he was present
when Benton appeared before
Villa: that he was armed and was
boisterous, and demanded pay for
stolen cattle. Villa ordered him
out of the room and Benton said
he would stay until hell frcze over.
Villa finally ordered the Guard to
remove him. Schof says 10 the LET
ter that if Benton was shot he got
what he deserved for his conduct,
We give this story for what it is
worth. II it IAN be substaniiated
it will show Villa in a different
light so far ss BentOn's death is
concerned.

Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-05-15

talking, that George Rubedew actually
owns the Republican, would it vindi.
cate the county commissioners in any
way? If you think it would, will you
be kind enough to sit down and sign
your full name to such fool PROPOSE
ton, and send it in SO we can publish
it? Be honest, because, as taxpayer
OF the county, the squandering Of
county money by county officials is
your business. 1t is your money, and
there is not a penny to waste. The
people need better roads, more bridges,
more road machinery, a new court
house; they need every cent that can
be spared from legitimate expenses
to pay on the debts the county owes,
and on which somebody is drawing
seven per cent. interest from the
people.
The Republican has pointed out the
facts. The Tribune has not denied
them. 1t cannot dispute them and
prove that the Republican is not cor
rect Yet the Tribune calls the editor
of the Republican 'insane" and ex-
poets the people to accept that proof;
instead of evidence, or proof, or facts,
the Tribune ignores the question under
discussion, and vindicates the gang by
talking about "Who owns the Republi-
CAM" or "Who BACKED Rubedew's
shoes the last time he was in Orofino?"
or tHow old is Ann?" or "How much
does circuit weight" or the color OF
his hair or the length OF the big toe on
his right hind foot, or the color of his
sox, or whether he wears union under
wear, or porous knit two-piece suits,
or, like Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, goes
sockless. And what is the difference?
Honestly, what is the difference? The
Tribune cannot tell to save its fat
county printing graft, or to save the
political necks Of the court house ring.
And yet when the Republican, Civ.
ing the facts and the figures, and the
public records, absolutely proves, be.
yond any question of doubt, that in the
matter Of culvert the taxpayers Of
Clearwater county were skinned, that
Latah county buys better goods for Q
lot less money, the Tribune replies by
charging that the editor Of the Republi.
can is timber tool because at some
time circuit ate meal at the same no.
tel with George Rubedew. (Which is Q
lie to start with. We never ate with
Rubedew, and the Tribune knows il
lies when it makes the statement.) But
suppose we had, what would that have
