IS NAMED
AS CITY ATTORNEY

A. L. Haight was appointed city
attorney last Monday night at a meet
ing of the City council, his salary be-
ing placed at $40 a month. He sue
eeeds Gilbert f. Foreman, who was
! unwilling to act as a legal advisor

decided to reduce his salary.
As soon as the new city attorney
is installed. he will be instructed by
the council to prepare a bill amend
ing the charter under which the city
was incorporated. authorizing the
council to name all the officers with
the exception of mayor and designate
the salaries that each shall receive.
Through the amendment the city
fathers plan to make economy their
watehword in the future.
The city treasurer was instructed
TO turn over to to the Ely National
bank all moneys received from the
first installment of taxes, and the
same will be applied on outstanding
warrants. A resolution was also pass
ed providing that all license money
received next month should be used
for the same purpose.
The report of City Clerk Dicken-
son for the month OF November
showed warrants outstanding to the
extent of $3.50. The members Of
the council are certain that the ex-
penses of the city government a
be reduced fifty per cent. and feel
confident that the city will be on cash
basis within five months. The cut
In salaries did not become effective

WHITE PINE COUNTY
TELEPHONE COMPANY

The Efforts of property owners in
other portions of the state to deter
mine upon a course of action to be
pursued regarding excessive valua-
lions upon landed estates seems to
have struck a popular chord in this
county. The Adams-McGill company
and the White Pine Telephone COM
pany have paid the first installment
of their taxes under protest and the
right of the tax commission to in
crease valuation to excessive figures
will be tested out in the courts by the
local corporations. Neither of the
companies r attempting to dodge
the payment of taxes but simply want
justice.
The returns of the White Pine
Telephone company ere increased
433 per cent by the tax commission,
and is regarded as confiscatory by its
president, C. A. Walker. The man
agement claims that its holdings in
the county are not worth more than
half its assessed valuation. Mr..
Walker maintains that If taxes are
paid on the basis fixed by the COM
mission the stockholders will be de-
rrived of all earnings on their in
vestments. He announces that the
stand taken by the ruling powers in
the world of taxation would be
fought through the courts If neces-
sary.

always seeking excuse for attacking
their ancient enemy, Prussia.
1t was momentous day in Paris.
Threatening speeches against Prussia
were made in the chamber Of depu-
ties, and Immediately the French for
eign minister, the Due de Grammont,
caused strong representations to be
made at Berlin of the displeasure
with which France viewed the aspira-
lions of Prince Leopold to the throne
of Spain. Finally, on July II, after
much negotiation and the interven-
ton of Great Britain, Prince Leopold,
with the consent OF his sovereign,
withdrew his candidaure.
But this did not deter the ambi-
tious but misguided third Napoleon
On the following day, acting under
instructions from the emperor M
Benedict French ambassador &c
Prussia, unceremoniously addressing
King William at Ems, insolently de
manded that Prussia guarantee tina
no further attempt would ever b.
made to place a Prussian on thu
throne in Madrid The king refused
to listen to Benedict and CURLY ter
minated the interview. He also sen
