It is generally believed that His Last Chance is one of the best of the modern dramas presented upon the screen in some time. The photo play is well worth seeing if for nothing else than MT. Ferguson's un = usual acting. "The Unlawful T.ade,' '' a Rex moonshiner drama, is the reg ular one reel offering, in itself worthy of a place as the headliner.

The new fishway at the Derby
dam, for which the Nevada and Cal
ifornia fish commissions have made
such a long and continuous howl,
has been completed except for the
painting The new structure is of
wood and was built after a design
submitted by the fish commissions
referred to.
While the water is being held
down for the fishway, some needed
additional paving is being placed
below the rubble paved apron of
the dam where the bed of the river
was beginning to wash out.
On the distribution system around
Fallon the maintenance force is en-
gagged in the annual cleaning of lat
erals and drains. The drag line ex-
cavator is being moved to the D1

extended to provide an outlet for
the open drains which were deep

|. H. KENT COMPANY FIRE LOSS
Approxin:atiBg $4,000 When Its
Warehouse Burned Last Friday
Evening.

A fire of unknown origin COM
pletely destroyed the warehouse of
the |. II Kent Company Friday
night. The alarm was sounded at
about 1870, at which time the fire
had gained considerable headway.
Volunteer fire fighters responded,
and in a remarkably short time
three streams, under a one hundred
pound pressure, we're being played
upon the burning structure. The
highly infiamable structure was COM
pletely enVeloped in flames, and
while the building and contents
could not be saved, the good work
of the hose company prevented the
spreading of the fire to adjacent
buildings and TO several cars of hay
standing on the railroad siding
next to the burning warehouse.
Many theories have been ad-
yanced as to the cause of the fire.
Some of those who arrived first at
the burning building report that
the flames seemed to come from be-
meath the building and at the east
end. The ample space under the
floor is said to have offered shelter
for weary wanderers at times, and
it may be that the fire was due to
the earelessness of one such. Some
have guessed the blame onto defect
i've electric wiring, but the wiring
was inspected not more than
month ago by L. w. Crehore, who
states that everything was salts
factory in that line. There had
been no fire in the office stove since
early morning, SO the flames could
not have come from that source.
The total loss approximates S10,-
900, divided as follows building
$2500, and contents $500 Stored
in the warehouse were 1872 tons of
barley, 160 sacks beet sugar, l 8
sacks cane sugar. So bags bayo
beans, 80 sacks white beans, 5000
new grain bags, and sundry items
of oats. bran, salt, wheat, etc. The
building was insured for $1,000,
and the contents for $4,000, so the
net loss TO the |. Il. Kent company
will be about $4,000.

THOSE WHO MUST PAY WAR TAX
Occupations Coming Within the Pro-
Visions of the Recently Enacted
War Tax Law.

Under the Act of October %,
1914. providing for emergency reve-
nue. for the United States Govern
ment, special taxes were laid on GER
tain occupations. These special
taxes are due this month and must
be paid this month to prevent the
imposition of a penalty of so per
cent. Sworn returns on a form to
be obtained from the Collector of
Internal Revenue in San Francisco.
or from the Deputy Collectors of
Internal Revenue at Oakland, Sac
ramento or Fresno, must be filed,
disclosing the identity of those af-
fected and their tax liability.
The following persons are sub
jeet to these taxes brokers, pawn
brokers, commercial brokers, GUS
tomhouse brokers, proprietors of
theaters, museums or concert halls,
proprietors of cireuses, proprietors
or agents of public exhibitions. pro-
prietors of bowling alleys and bill
lizard rooms. commission merchants,
all dealers in tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes whose annual receipts
from sales exceed $4,000, all man
ufacturers of tobacco, cigars and

Immediate inquiry should be
made of the Collector of Internal

of his deputies, as directed above,
regarding the rate of tax and for

Now let us look at the result on
the Churchill county tax rate. Last
year the county tax rate was SOD
on the S1O0 valuation. This year
1t will be but S1.55-a reduction
of S1.0O on the 500. Doesn't that
have a pleasing ring to the ears of
the tax payer?
In the city of Fallon the rate last
year was $500 on the 500, while
this year It will be $S.40-a redue-
tion of s2.20 ON the 500.
OF course there are local reasons
for the reduction in our county and
city rates. In the case OF the eouh-
ty. II win be remembered that three
wears ago there was an emergency
loan made for $4,000, and this was
later renewed. On this sum there
was an accumulation of over Sl,2OO
interest. and the entire amount oil
principal and interest was paid OIL
