QUITE A DIFFERENCE

An item going the rounds of the
press says.
"The census of 1910 gave the
number Of farms in Nevada as
1859, and the average size Cf the
farm was l,009.6 acres: a total of
2,714. 757 acres. This included all
stock ranges which were not sep
arately classified. The value of the
land improvements, farm impIe-
ments and live stock on these farms
was given as $50, 1893, 365. of which
Sl~9.213,930 was live stock
There is quite a difference be.
tween the value Of the livestock in
the above item and the assessed
value of person nal property in the
state as given in the controllers
report for 1918. Livestock are
personal property and are assessed
as such. The census report above
quoted gives the valuation Of the
livestock ut $19,213,930 while the
controllers report gives the total
assessed value of personal property
in the state as $9,264,141.56, a
difference between the census value
Of livestock and the assessed value
Of all personal property of $780,
1884. AS there is a great deal
Of personal property outside of
livestock in this state, it is plainly
seen that a%ssvast amount of personal
property escaped taxation in 1918,
providing the census figures are
correct.

TRANSFORMATION

Something of the vast change in
recent years Of the western Indian
can be. noted in an experience of
Louis Beindorff. city passenger
agent of the Union Pacific RAILROAD
at Omaha. Beindorff was notified
to e that Marie Lesleur, en- In
dian from Ross Fork, Ida, made
her change of trains properly.
BeindorT looked for a girl wrap
ped in a blanket, with a feather in
her hair and two long braids. But
he didn't find one. He appealed to
the conductor.

"No Injuns," said the Pullman

to you"
A black haired young woman
stood. at the ticket window.

MISSING CARSON MAN

Chris Klotz is still missing at
Carson City, according to the News,
and a, search is being made for him
by relatives and friends. No trace
whatever has heen found of him
and it is feared that the first That
will be found of him will be the
finding of his body. During the
past few days prior to his being
missed he was noticed to be acting
strange. He went to a friend who
was keeping a number of personal
papers in a safe and drew them all
out and none of these have been
found in the search of his cabin.
Wednesday night of last week he
complained of having a headache
and went to his home early.
He evidently occupied the bed
that night but was not seer after
wards.
The missing man is a brother of
Recorder Klotz of Douglas County,
and the Douglas county relatives
are leading in the search for The
missing man,. Chris Klotz owned q
number Of claims in Pine Nut dis
trict and it was thought that he
tight have gone to them but inves-
tigation i'm that section tends to
show that he had not been there
for some time.
A search was made yesterday at
tho Pine Nut mines in hopes that
the missing man had gone there but
without avail as no one had been
at the property for over two weeks.

Mr.. Smith has been drawing plans
Of submarine boats. scows and
other apparatus to be used in rails
ing the Titanic, tine Inflated liner
on which 1908 persons persisted.
The scheme Of the Denver man is
first to locate the ship. He then
intends to lower a submarine
carrying seven persons, by means
Of a steel cable. The submarine
will be attached to a ship on the
surface and communication is to
be had by means of a telephone
and electric signal bells.
AS the Submarine is lowered
powerful electrical magnets will be
attached to its prov. Light steel
cables are tn be attached to the
m S, the other end of which
will be wound around steam
~inches on the surface.
Magnets Will be placed all around
the Titanic, ard when the last one
is in place the submarine will be
pulled to the surface and the work
of raising the vessel begun.

POWER OF A GREAT WAVE

The renlsins Of an excursion
steamer may be seen in a bayfield,
800 feet above the lake of Loen,
in Norway. This oddly placed wreck
is the sole relic of a terrible land
slide which took place in 1906,
when the whole side of a mountain
suddenly slipped into the lake,
raising a great wave more than
800 feet high which drowned every
body living along the shores, more
than sixty people perishing. The
steamer which was moored on the
lake at the time, was carried on
the crest of the wave over a per-
pendicular cliff and deposited as al
ready stated, more than 300 feet
above the normal level OF the water
more than quarter of a mile away
from its anchorage. 1t is a torn and
battered wreck, every bit of wood
work has been wrenched off, and
the twisted steel work testifes to
the force of the wave which cast
it ashore. Wide World Magazine.

THE CLEANUP IDEA.

The Iowa state board OF health by
proclamation has declared the week
of May 4th cleanup and paint up week
success or failure in just such
measure as the people may or may
not enter into the spirit Of it.
The idea is to have an annual
cleanup week-a week in which
householders will make it their spe-
cial business to clean their alleys. to
tidy up their back yards. to plant
flowers and shrubbery in their front
yards, to make repairs in fences, cell
lar doors and waterspouts, to paint
houses and barns and to do anything
and everything else that may come to
mind to make ones premises take on
spick and span appearance.
Some good citizens, OF course, al
ways keep their houses and their
yards in good shape, but even these
can contribute to the success OF the
movement by eXerting little extra
effort in the promotion OF Spotless
Town. Cleanliness Is contagious. The
man who might let his place go to
rack and ruin if he were on desert
island will hump himself to prevent
his neighbor from outdoing him in
improving the premises. In few lines
of activity is a good example such a
powerful factor. If Mrs. Jones has
an attractive flower garden, Mrs.
Brown is more than likely to suggest
to Mr.. Brown that they ought to get
hanging basket or two in order to
keep up with the Joneses. The thing
spreads from one yard to another,
and one neighborhood to another, and
the general result often is astonish-
Ing.
While many people will refuse to
take cleanup week seriously, and
others will see in it only the hand OF
the willy manufacturer of paint and
other renovating materials, the fact
remains that it has in it the germ OF
successful movement that may lead
to the time when every week will be
cleanup week and there will be no
necessity for proclamations by the
state boards of health.-Sioux City
Journal.
