WELLS,FARCO eco.
MUST PAY TAXES

By a decision handed down Thurs
day, by the Supreme Court, Wells
Fargo & Company is adjudged liable
for the full amount of taxes assessed
against their property in this county
The opinion was written by Chief Jus.
tiee Noreross and was concurred in by
Justices McCarran and Coleman.
Appeal From This County
This decision was based on an ap-
peal taken from the District court OF
Humboldt county. Wells, Fargo & Co
refused to pay taxes in this county
for the reason that it was assessed on
intangible assets, or in other words for
the franchise or privilege of conduct
ing an express business over the Sou
thern Pacific line in this county, al
the rate of $500 per mile. 1t set up the
further claim that it should only be
assessed for the furniture of its offices
in this county and its delivery rigs.
Suit was brought for the taxes OF
1870, amounting to $932.6l, and on De
cember 8, 1913, Judge Ducker gave
judgment for the county and against
the defendant for the amount of the
tax and $52 court costs. making an ag
gregate of $9s9.61. From this judgment
the defendant company appealed to the
Supreme Court on March IA, 1914.
The suit was brought as a test case
the company having refused to pay its
taxes for many years. In the absence
.os District Attorney Powell from town
it is impossible to learn the amount in
volved, but County Treasurer Hoen
stine asserts that the company has
never paid a tax since he assumed of
fee in 1908.

HOT SPRINGS AGGREGATION
PLAY HERE TOMORROW

The best ball game seen in Winnie
mucca for some time will be played
at Association park tomorrow afternoon
between the Golconda and Winnemuc-
ca teams. The Golconda team has been
strengthened considerably since they
last played here.
The Hot Springs boys have not taken
kindly to the numerous alibis produced
for the game lost by Winnemueca on
July 5th, and are coming down here
to prove that they really can beat our
fellows. And there are those willing
to back their play, too.
The local lineup will be practically
the same as usual, with Lefty Schorr
pitching instead of Killilay who has
gone to Salt Lake. Schorr has not had
as much experience as Killilay, but is
nevertheless one of the best pitchers in
the state. He pitched for Reno in the
game that Winnemucea lost down there
some time ago.
The report that the Winnemucea
team had disbanded was without foun-
dation, and the fans will find the same
kind of ball playing going on as here
tofore. The gain or loss of one or two
players will not completely change the
work of a team like the local nine.
Winnemucca has tine material right at
home to beat any local team in the
state and give good showing against
teams having professionals in their
lineup.
Turn out tomorrow and encourage
the home boys. Admission so cents, in
ciuding seat in a good comfortable
grand stand Watch for the free autos
going out.

arms is proposed by London paper.
Inspired by the marching record of a
Lancashire regiment, which boasts of
a well-known chiropodist among its
ranks. This regiment has made the
hardest practice marches without a
man dropping out. The reason is the
fine shape the regimental feet are in
Detached from the humdrum routine
of duty, the soldier-chiropodist spends
his day peeling and pairing. If every
regiment had the same advantage

Besides. the thing which saved the
British on that occasion was the bad
state of the German feet. due to new
boots. The National Society of Chi

ported and many matters of vi.

NEW $1S,OOO.OO HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING PROPOSED

The board of education of
Clovis have decided that the
time has arrived when we must
have another school building to
relieve the congestion in the
Clovis schools which is daily
growing to be more of a vexa-
tious question, by reason of the
rapidly increasing enrolment
and will ask the mayor to call
an election on the first Monday
in April to vote bonds for the
erection o f an $18, 600 high
school building. This is the
regular date set for the election
of trustees, so that there will be
no extra expense in ca ling an
election.
The board is unanimous in its
desire to call the election and
he mayor has signified his will
ingness to do so.
1t is announced that there will
be 200 children ready for the
high school next year, without
ample provision being made to
accommodate them unless the pro-
posed high school is butt.
We are advised by Prof. w. E.
Carroon that a small levy will
be sufficient and that a bond
payment of $4,000 to S800.00 a
year will provide ample funds.
Ordinarily the News is not in
favor of any raise in the tax
rate, but in case of absolute
and for such worthy
cause we feel inclined to favor
the proposition.
1t is recognized by all who are
familiar with the facts that
something must be done and
there seems no other way of do
ing it.
The NEWS would invite CON-
ment by others on this su uojact.

put more than a like amount in
the proposition. This company
is well known in Kansas where
they operate several large eIe-
vators. The erection of an ele-
vator in Clovis will mean that
our farmers will always find "a
ready market for their grain.

The new trains are fine ones.
The Missionary comes out of
Chicago for San Francisco with
tourist and Pullmans. IA ten
coach train. This is number FL g.
Its counter part is number %,
the Chicago Flyer from Califor-
MIA to Chicago. At Clovis the
Missionary sets out Pullman
from Kansas City to Carlsbad
and takes on Pullman from Ros-
well to Albuquerque and anoth
er from New Orleans via Hous.
ton to San Francisco. The Chi
cago Flyer eastbound sets out
Pullman from Albuquerque to
Roswell and Pullman from San
Francisco to New Orleans and
Houston and takes on Pullman
from Carlsbad to Kansas City.
The California Special num-
ber 92l brings the Pullman
from New Orleans and Houston
for San Francisco and picks up
at Sweetwater Pullman from
Ft. Worth which at Staten turns
to Amarillo, Texas. Number
922 picks uD at Clovis Pullman
from San Francisco to New Or
leans and at Slaton Pullman for
Fort Worth over T. 4 p. from
Sweetwater. The Pecos Valley
train picks up Pullman from
Kansas City to Carlsbad and
another from Albuquerque to
Roswell.
This schedule places Clovis on
a transcontinental line from
Chicago. New Orleans and Gal
weston to the Pacific coast. The
trains run on fast time over
heavy st eel and rock ballast.
Much of the way oil burning
engines are used. 1t means
clean and safe travel.
The time between Albuquer-
que and Santa Fe is reduced
and the Pullman service to AL
buquerque is an improvement.
1t is now possible to make the
Pecos Valley conveniently in a
day and Pullman may be occu-
pied at Carlsbad or Roswell for
a night run back to Clovis.
This service brings the Pecos
Valley near enough for closer
business relations.
Just as important is the direct
fast line to Galveston and other
gulf ports. Fr. Worth, the
great stock center in the South
west. is reached at 7:30 a. m.
the next morning, the time be-
ing about % hours from Clovis.
This means much to this section
where stock and wheat are
staple.
