War may have made everything

Superior preparation, superior num-

1t Is now evident that the one thing
which can save France from meeting
the fate OF Belgium Is such an ad-

The test OF Russian arms will come
when they arrive at the real line OF

profited by the lessons Of its defeat
by Japan? Is its equipment adequate
and modern; Is its commissary hon.

questions are answered, Germany's
peril from Russia will remain an un'

But II Germany shall continue to
triumph on land until she shall have
occupied Paris and forced Russia be-

The reply. 1t would seem, rests

ElkO Holds Back
Taxes Due State

With the exception Of Elko, every
county in Nevada has turned over
to the state treasurer its proportion
OF the taxes due the state. ElkO re-
fuses. however, to send in its pro
rata till the state reimburseS it for
the expense of sending its books
and tax rolls to Carson last fall.
when they were submitted to and
investigated by the Tax commission.
As a result OF Elko's mulishness, for
it can be termed in no other way.
every state fund is tied up, as the
appropriations therefor cannot be
made till the money from every
county is available.
Elko insists that the old claim
must be paid before she will send
in the money, and the attorney GEN
eral declares that the state does not
owe it, as the claim is illegal.

From recent developments it
would seem that the Nevada sena-

For the past week or two there
has been a gentleman named l.. W.

Rain Has Caused
An Increased Flow

During the past two summers tine
wells in many districts in this sec
ton nearly went dry. This resulted
i1om couple of dry seasons and a
lack of the natural rain and snow
fail that is supposed to belong to
Western Nevada. Since the heavy
fall OF snow and rain of the past
thirty days the wells have flied to
their capacity.
An incident in this relation is the
fact that the artesian flows in and
about this city have doubled their
volume OF water. showing that the
watershed from which the supply is
drawn has been replenished. and
that the coming season promises

Fred Cushing. superintendent of
