HIGH PRICED BEEF WILL
REMAIN.
Fewer Cattle in the Country Per
Capita the Cause.

That the meat-producing industry
of the United States has been perman-
emily placed upon free-trade basis,
without benefit of cheaper prices to
the consumer, and that the removal of
the tariff will not appreciably injure
the live stock industry, were the prin
cipal conclusions expressed by Presi
dent H. A. Jastro, addressing the
American National Live Stock Asso-
citation convention in Denver this
week
Perhaps in the distant future, he
said, there may be realignment of
parties and one similar to the agra
rian parties of Europe might favor a
different treatment of this industry,
but this is remote possibility and the
live stock growers may as well adjust
themselves to free trade basis of
their products.
The most important factor in pro-
ducing this result, said President Jas
tro, was the high cost of meat during
the last few years and the failure Of
the consumers to take into account
the advanced cost of values.
Another cause was the widespread
but erroneous belief that the so-called
beef trust was solely responsible for
high cost of meats. According to the
best obtainable information, he placed
the number of head of live stock
slaughtered by the Armour, Swift and
Morris interests at 40 per cent of all
the cattle, 80 per cent of all the hogs
and SIS per cent of all the sheep and
lambs killed in this country. The re-
moval of the duty on meats, he said,
was distinct advantage to the pack
ers, especially to those with plants in
South America and Australia.
Discussing the probable course of
prices in the future, President Jastro
declared his belief that the price of
live stock and meats never again will
be as low as in former years. There
are fewer cattle in this country per
capita than in former years. The
reason is that the business of raising
them has not been as profitable or sta
bic as other branches of agriculture or
trade.

President Adams Leaves for East.

f. F. Adams, President OF the
Smith Valley Mines Co., and J. Fred
Saunders, one of the heavy stocl-
holders, came in from the property
yesterday on their way to Oakland,
Cal They report everything at the
property moving along nicely and the
machinery being installed rapidly. The
development is said to be showing
the property to be better than ever
anyone connected with it imagined it
would be. Judging from samples of
gold ore brought over, taken from the
lower level, it is without question the
richest development ever opened in
this district. President Adams will
leave Oakland for Chicago, where he
goes on business connected with the
property. but expects to return to this
district inside of the next 80 days.

DO NOT LET YOUR INCOME
BECOME TOO GREAT.
If You Do the Government Will Make
You Cough Up.

Joseph J. Scott, Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the First District
of California, which includes Nevada,
issued notice Thursday touching
upon the income tax, in which he indi-
Gates that thorough canvass of his
district will be made after March l.,
when he hopes to find that nobody
with a taxable income has failed to
comply with the law.
"The making of sworn return to
the Collector of Internal Revenue on
or before March of each income
amenable to the federal income tax,
says Collector Scott, SIS a liability that
attaches to every person, man or wo-
man, citizen of the United States or
alien resident of the country, with a
net annual income of $1,000 or more /;
and what is more, it is liability that
refusal to comply with the law by
making such report. The forms for
returns are now available for distri-
button and will be sent to all who ap-
ply for them They will also be
placed in the hands of the banks, from
which they can be obtained by indi-
viduals.
1t will not do for person with a
taxable income to wait until an invi-
tation is extended by this Office be-
fore taking steps to obey the law by
obtaining blank form and preparing
the required report While everything
possible will be done by my deputies
and myself to communicate directly
with those subject to the tax during
the next few weeks, those enjoying
sufficient income to be taxable are ex-
pected to cooperate and file returns
without demand being made on them
to do so.
The penalty for failure to file the
return of income within the time
specified by law is from $40 to ST 900.
In the case of refusal or neglect to
render the return within the time re-
quired, so per cent will be added to
the amount OF the tax assessed In the
case of false or fraudulent return,
100 per cent will be added to the tax,
and every person found guilty of such
fraud with intent to defeat or evade
the tax will be liable to fine not ex-
ceeding $1,000 or Imprisonment not
exceeding one year, or may be both
fined and imprisoned"

Foreign Hostilities Resumed.

Last evening a Greek and a Bulgar-
ian concluded to sever diplomatic re-
lations and to renew international hos
tilities and for few minutes the re-
cent Balkan war looked like a cheap
frame-up in comparison. Fists, boots
and headless hats obscured the land
scape and blood and carnage paid
tribute to the God of War until the
good Offices of the Italian government
were offered through special envoy
Frank Rosaschi, who deSpotically
usurped the perogatives of seconds,
referee, timekeeper and umpire, and
taking a beligerent head in each hand
Frank brought them together so
forcefully and fequently that soon
both warriors were abjectly suing for
peace. At this juncture the dove of
peace, known to European entomolo-
G SITS as the Carnegie chicken, made
victorious though ungraceful entrance
perched on the toe of Franks No. 10
boot. After several vigorous flights,
fore and aft, the dove declared that
the ghost of war was laid, and peace
and harmony once more prevailed.

Plenty of Moisture.

The rain storm of last Saturday
throughout this section was a heavy
one and the snow in the mountains
rs deep, On the summit of the Sierras,
up Truckee way. the snow is from 8
to 10 feet deep. Up in the Bodie and
Bridgeport country there is from 3 to
) feet of snow and at Pine Grove
and that vicinity the snow is 2 to feet
This assures plenty of water for Ma
son Valley next summer and possibly
too much in the spring In Virginia
City there is from to S feet of snow
and it extends down to Silver City,
where It is about feet deep. At the
headwaters of the Carson River there
is also bountiful supply of snow
The rains in this valley have been so
severe that the land is thoroughly
soaked and will delay blowing for
some weeks.

The Merry Cobbler."

The farce comedy entitled The
Merry Cobbler," put on at Rink Hall
last night by the High School pupils
and others, drew a crowded house
The play was probably the best anna
teur thing ever put on in 4erington
and much better than most OF the out
side professionals have given in our
community. Every character was
well sustained and each is worthy of
mention did our space permit. Espec-
ially did the little children render their
parts well, showing thorough train
ing. The comedy is laughable thing
with a pathetic touch or two and the
audience was liberal in its demonstra-
ton OF appreciation. The music for
the occasion was furnished by Miss
Mildren Whitman, who also rendered
some excellent piano solos. The vau-
deville part of the performance com
pared favorably with the balance OF
the play. and after two hours OF en-
joyment the elder portion OF the audi
ence retired to their homes, while the
young folks stayed to dance few
lines. The success of the entertain
ment is due in great meausre to the
faithful training and rehearsing of the
young folks by Mis- Whitman. The
community would be glad to see an
other play equal to this at any time

A Christmas Wedding.

Not until our attention was called
to the fact did we notice that we had
overlooked an item of considerable
importance to the two contracting
parties of a social event. Last De-
cember the Times received the an
nouncement of the marriage of Mr..
Clay Mckinley and Miss Sibyl Sling
erland at the home of the brides pa
rents in Pocatello, Idaho, on Christ
mas day, 1918. We laid the announce
ment by and were under the impress
sion that the mater had been chon-
icled in these columns on the week
that it occurred On looking over
files we notice that we were in error,
and we tender our apology to the
young folks. Both are we'll and ia
vorably known here, the bride having
spent her early schoolhood days in
Yerington, afterwards going to Poca-
tello to reside with her parents. She
returned to Yerington last summer
and for time acted as deputy Re
corder She is bright and attract
i've young woman now and her many
friends here wish her happy and
prosperous married life The groom
is also we'll known and highly es-
teemed in this community, being a
young business man of Mason, where
the young couple are at present max
ing their home.

High Water Around Dayton.

The stub thain which runs from
Mound House to Wabuska had trou-
bic this week. Rains and melting
snow washed the track away in sew
eral places this side OF Dayton and
trains were delayed. The water from
the Como water shed has flooded a
portion of the Randall and other
ranches, and the river is very high.
Work is being done to keep the bulk
head below the Rock Point dam from
going out and creating much damage
below. Gold Canyon creek is also
booming and may do some damage
to Dayton property.

Debating Society.

On Thursday afternoon the High
School Debating Society had before
it the momentous question: Should
the Steel Trap be Abolished" Those
who participated took great interest
in the question and evidently read up
considerably The negatives won the
debate, not that their side of the ques-
ton was right, but because they put
