(ATTLfMEN OBJECT TO
TAX COMMISSIONS VALUES

John s. Henderson, president of the
Henderson Banking company of Elko;
J. J. Hylton, cattle and sheso man Of
Elko county; John A. Carat, Herbert
Humphrey, George B. Williams, E. E
Caine and other prominent cattle and
sheep men of the state, lodged a pro
test against the assessments on live
stock, before the state tax commission
yesterday. After presenting arguments
to show that the rate placed on cattle
and sheep was much too high, the dele
gstion was promised AZ answer in ten
days
At its meeting several weeks ago,
the tax commission fixed the valuations
for assessment purposes ON livestock
of all kinds in the state. On all classes
of cattle, exclusive of sucking calves,
the valuation was placed at $50. On
sheep, exclusive of lambs born this
year, the valuation was placed at
$3.50. On cattle this amounted to an
increase over the valuations of last
year of SO, and on sheep, of $3.50,
less 25 per cent for range loss.
The assessment is to be based on a
count of livestock on the first Mon
day in May, which is two months later
than has been the custom. This chang
ing of date of count to two months
later will result in serious loss to
Humboldt county, it was argued yes
terday, because of the fact that many
transient cattle are being fed at Love-
lock at that time. Other sections are
affected similarly. The tax commission
will announce its decision on the ap-
plication of the cattle and sheep men
for reduction in valuations on the
date set for the count, ten days hence

fact that he is president of the great
Snider Preserve Co., and millionaire,
is as democratic as his first name, was

little literary work. Here is a sample:
Two ladies gay,
Met a boy one day;
His legs were briar scratched,
His clothes were blue,
But a nut brown hue
Marked the place where his pants We're
patched.
They bubbled with Joy
At the blue clad boy
With his spot of nut brown hue.
"Why didn't you patch
With a color to match,
They chuckled, "Why not with blue {"
"Come, don Z be coy,
NY blue-brown boy,
Speak out;'' and they laughed in glee;
And he blushed rose-red,
While he bashfully said:
.'That aint no patch, that's me-"

The neiehbors are coming into the country and Eagle promises to be an important point. Jim has mine as we'll as homestead, Chat takes large part of bis time in the winter. He took along a quantity of powder for blasting.
 Bruno, son of Mir. and Mrs. II. Savik- ko. aged 8 years, wandered away from his home on St. Ann Avenue last We'd nesday afternoon and fell in the water near the saw mill After being in the cold water but few moments he was rescued and carried to the shore. After a time a doctor was summoned and he pronounced the child dead, whether from drowning or the shock of the cold water we have not learned. The imme- diate application of first aid" reme- dies would no doubt have saved the little life. The funeral was held Thurs day.
