EXPOSITION EXPENSES

The author Of the Exposition
Bill was certainly a smooth article,
and fixed it in such a shape that at
least ten officials would have d
finger in that $4,000 pie. Ross,
Oddie and Thatcher, will be the
head Commissioners to be assisted
by five honorary Commissioners
who are entitled by the bill to
travelling and all legitimate ex-
penses, then there is a SUP efiniead-
ent, and a secretary to hep cat the
pie. The contract for erecting the
building has been let to Alfred S.
Cough of Goldfeld for $4,000
which will leave close to $75, 900
Of the money appropriated for
salaries and other expenses. How
much will be left when the Fair
is over?
Twenty thousand dollars has
heen the limit fixed for placing the
exhibits. What will be the limit
for travelling and other expenses?

RUBY MOUNTAIN sRME

Forest Supervisor James d. Ryan
forwarded specimens Of shale found
in the Ruby national forest, in the
Ruby mountains south of Deeth
and Elko, Nevada. to Mr.. Knowl-
ton, psleontologist of the GeoIogi-
cal survey. Upun expert examina-
tion these were found to contain
the impression of three different
kinds Of trees, no one of which is
now represented in that region. MI.
Knowlton described them as
"Sequoia aUgrstifolia Lesq," Red
wood big tree, "Carpinus
grandis, Unger." Blue Beech and
"Que ycus sp," Canyon Oak.
The question arises, has the shale
been shifted to the Ruby mountains
from another position on the earth,
or, as is more likely, was the eli
mate Of Nevada formerly suited to
the growth of vegetation that re-
quires more favorable climate as
regards moisture conditions.
The sequoia, or big tree, now
exists only in the Sierra Nevada
mountains of California, and has
not been permanently successfully
planted elsewhere. In the agri.
cultural department grounds in
Washington, where trees receive
the best attention, sequoia do not
flourish after attaining a certain
age. Perhaps the largest sequoia
outside Of California is one of abo1t
forty years age in Rochester, N.
Y.
The Carpinus Carolinlsn r horn
bean, other wise known as blue
beech, is a small tree of the east
ern states, which requires a moist
situation.
The oak is found nearer, scrubhy
oak being found generally in the
lower hills of Utah. .

IMPORTANT RULING BY
Acknowledgement

Attorney General Thatcher has
sustained the contention of the Tax
commission relative to the increase
in assessment of the mining indus
try Of Nevada and has handed down
an opinion that the depreciation is
not a legal deduction from the
value of the gross yield of mines
for the purpose of determining
the net yield for assessment and
taxation"
The Tax commission has instruct
ed the various assessors by wire to-
day to collect 60 per cent of the
actual net proceeds of all mines in
the state and tn treat the net earn
ings of mills owned by the mining
companies as net profits of the
mines. This ruling increases the
revenue from mine assessment
about 80 yer cent ever that of
1913; that is assuming that the
actual earnings of the mines are
the same this year as they were
last year. Appeal.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local application. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con-
st%itutional remedies. Deafness is
caused from the inhamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless infam ma
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine eases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

lieutenant-Gov Amendment.

Proposed Amendment No. 16 pro vides for the election of a lieutenant governor, who shall be chosen for q term of two years.
 Some doubt has been expressed con corning the wording of the act ere ating the new office and an effort was made to prevent Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges from certifying it out
 The clause which some contend may render the act imperative follows:
 The governor and lieutenant gov ernor elected at the next preceding election to the time when this section shall take effect, shall hold office un til and including the second Monday of September, and their successors shall be chosen at the general election in that year"
 This might be interpreted, it has been pointed out, as an effort 10 change the time for beginning and ending the term of office for gov ernor The governor now takes his office on the first of January after his election. It was the wording of this clause also that resulted in a candi- date offering for the office of lieuten- ant governor, believing he could be elected at the same election at which the act is submitted.
