coMMuNIoN oF SAINTS.
censoiing Doctrine of Catholic Church
 Explained by Rev. Myles P. Calvin.

Preaching at the9 o'clock mass in St. Patrick's church Sunday to the cus- toinary congregation of over 2.0oO. Rev. Myles F. Calvin. who read the mass. spoke of the Roman Catholic church, militant here. finding it's completion and perfection in heaven. The tender aoNc!tude of the church extends even beyond the grave, uniting to its chil- drcn here, not only those saints of the churc.a triumphant in heaven, but those souls in a probation state, not yet deemed worthy to enter the presence of God.
 Eaei: November the church directs
 the attention of the faithful to this
 beautiful and eonsoling belief. It is
 we'll the preacher said, that this is SO.
 In the first poignancy of grief. mortals
 believe that they can never forget
 their dead friends But. alasl all too
 quickly the distractions of the world.
 the cares of business, begin to absorb
 their thoughts, and little by little the
 memory of the dead passes from the
 minds of those nearest and dearest to them.
 That is why the church, having call-
 ed attention on All Saints day to those blessed souls who have won eternal happiness for themselves by their yir- tuous lives, and whose good deeds mortals are admonished to emulate, on the very next day commentaries All Souls teaching that those who have 9OAAC OCAONCs yet AAk LAAE IAStACC Ol God, detained in purgatory for the ex- plstion of human faults, while they cannot help themselves, can be helped by the prayers and good works of their friends on earth.
 Have mercy upon me, have mercy upon me, at least you my friends. for the hand of the Lord hath touched | mel" the anguished cry of the scrip l tures may well be the beseeching cry l of these poor souls, forgotten by their friends upon earth. How they can be
 helped. by fervent prayer, by the of- fering of the holy sacrifice of the mass
 by receiving communion for tbem praying that they may be speedily | freed from their sufferings and be | found worthy to see God, these and
 othe- means were explained by the preacher.
 Following the sermon, Rev. Father l Calvin gave holy communion to a large I number of the congregation. requiring 1 the assistance of the rector, Rev. J. H Frederick, in administering the Holy 1 Eucharist.
 The children's choir of fifty sang ! during the service, the organist, Miss Ruth Jordan, playing at the offertorS Rubenstein's Melody in F, and at com

Through figures givsn out on Satur- day by Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin of Hartford the towns were in- formed what the amount will be that they will have to pay on the state tax this year. For Norwich the amount IS $10, ,773.12 more than it was a year ago. Last year 1t was S24, ,371.43, but this year the sum of $35,144.60 is called for. This will mean about two mills on the Norwich grand list of about $17, ,500, ,000.
 At the time of the annual town meeting in October itawas necessary to defer the laying of the town tax be- cause the amount of state tax that the town of Norwich would have to pay was not known then, but Tax Commits sioner Corbin'S announcement now will make it possible to lay the tax when the adjourned town meeting IS held on the 9th of November. The state tax from the town is due the next day.
 The treasury of the state of Connec- ticut will be enriched by s1,75o 900 when the state-tax has been paid by the various towns and cities The tax to be paid by the city of Hartford is $269, ,641.25, the largest amount de- manded of any city in the state. New Haven will have to pay tax of $25l,- 918.S1, Bridgeport $$1S0, ,737,29, and Wa terbury $103,826.33.
 The. state tax this year is levied in an entirely different manner than ever before, being based on acts by the legislature of 1915. It is claimed for the new system that it will result in dividing the various amounts more equally and fairly between the different municipalities.

Expect to Soon
Settle Water Troubles

P. Il. Cook, superintendent and
traffic manager of the Nevada Copper
Belt railroad, was visitor in Carson
this morning between trains. He
was enroute to Mason from visit TO
the coast
Since the beginning of the Euro
pean war and the enforced shutting
down OF mines and smelter the Mason
valley section has been quiet, but a
big reaction is looked for in a short
time Both the mining and railroad
companies have taken advantage ct
the shutdown to make needed re-
pairs and when things start up again
they will be in shape to meet all dc
mands.
One matter, said Mr.. Cook, that is
going to rebound to the benefit of
that section is the settlement among
the farmers of the valley of the water
question This is now before an ar
bitration board and when its decision
is rendered, which is looked for short
ly, it will settle all pending water
troubles.

Loss Will Run
Into Thousands

By the passage OF the new revenue
act by the Nevada legislature, remov-
ing merchandise, cigar, common car
rier and hotel licenses, etc, Nye coun-
ty faces loss in revenue amounting
to many thousands Of dollars. The
total amount collected by Sheriff Sla-
wins office in 1914 was $16,334.70. OF
this amount $3,8l0.4O was for mer-
chandise licenses, $S75 for hotel and
lodging house icenssesnd $1,000 mis-
cellaneous. The county will still re-
ceive about $500 for cigarette licenses.
The figures, as based upon those for
1914, show a loss of about $3.50 to
the county by the passage OF the new
revenue act.
Nye county has valuation of ap
proximately $7,00O,000 In order to
raise the amount lost, it would be
necessary to add cents to the tax
rate at the present valuation. 1t has
been suggested to Mr. Slavin that
the deficit may be made up by rais-
ing the valuation on all property, real
and personal. In most instances the
valuation was placed at about 90 per
cent The difference could be made
up by raising this valuation generally
to 20 per cent-BonanZa.
