POWER OF TAX BOARD
ATTACKED IN COURT
Authority Of Commission to Make
Certain Increases in Land Values
Is to Be Determined

In an action filed in the district
court of Humboldt county by Hoyt.
Gibbons & Frenon in behalf of GER
tain taxpayers of that county the
authority of the Nevada tax commits
sion TO make certain increases in the
valuation of land after the time pro-
vided by law for the auditor to de-
liver the corrected assessment rolls to
the tax receiver is questioned, the
plaintiffs in the action being G. ID.
Bliss, r. o. Bliss, w. c. Bergman, II.
B. Allfree, A. F. Trcusdale and the
Colconda Cattle company and the de-
PENDANTS the county of Humboldt, F.
G.. Hoenstine, county treasurer, and
eX-officio tax receiver S. J. Bonnifeld,
auditor and recorder; J. A. Callahan,
district attorney; H. NJ. Leonard, as
sessor and ]. f. Shaughnessy, G. H..
Colburn and F. N. Fletcher, as men,
bers of the Nevada Tax commission.
1t appears from the complaint that
G.. d. and r. o. Bliss own in Hum
boldt county 28,718.27 acres of land.
Different parcels of this land, assessed
according to character, were given an
assessed valuation of $94,270 by the
assessor but the valuation placed on it
by the tax commission amounts to
$274,334; that w. B. Bergman and H.
B. Allfree own 3,440 acres of land
valued by the county assessor at S42,-
$50 and increased by the tax commits
sion to $122,76O; that A. F. Trousdale
owns 975 acres of land the valuation
of which was increased by the tax
commission from $5,465 to S23.S8O and
that the Golconda Cattle company
was increased from $45,O00 to $4,000
on 19,349 acres of land.
The plaintiffs set up in their COM
plant that they rendered the ex-offi-
clio tax receiver of Humboldt county
as full payment of taxes on their land
an amount equal to the tax levy ap-
piled to the assessment as corrected
by the county board of equalization
and that such amounts have been I'M
conditionally rejected. The complaint
asserts that the attempted over-valu-
alton and re-assessments under the
orders of the tax commission Is in
violation of the state and federal con-
stitutions in that the plaintiffs and
other persons similarly situated or
deprived of their property without due
process of law and denied the equal
protection of the laws.

COMMISSIONERS Adjourn
AFTER BUSY SESSION
NORTHERN ROUTE
GIVEN PREFERENCE
Is Infinitely Superior to the Lincoln
Highway In the State
Of Nevada

The Humboldt County chamber of
commerce is in receipt of a copy of
Motor Print, a magazine published in
Philadelphia and devoted to automo-
bile interests. In this issue there is
quite a lengthy article in which the
statement is made that the Automo-
bile Blue Book Publishing company
is strongly recommending the north
ern or Lincoln Trail route in prefer
ence to the southern route known as
the Lincoln Highway
In this article it is stated that the
northern route is said to be infinitely
superior to the Lincoln Highway from
every consideration of comfort, speed
and safety and has been improved by
the states of Utah and Nevada, where
as the Lincoln Highway between Salt
Lake and Reno has had practically
no road working. 1t also states that
in the Blue Book or northern route
there are towns every eight or ten
miles, and that the route is never
more than six miles from the line of
the Southern Pacific railroad and
that every town, with one exception,
has hotels that can be recommended.
1t certainly is a pleasure to know
that while our roads are not what
they should be. the money that we
have been able to spend on them has
been productive of some good results
and If we will all boost, with the
proper spirit, there is no reason why
we cannot get the greater amount of
the transcontinental travel for the
year 1915.

NO SEWER RELIEF
IN SIGHT YET
INSPECTOR SAYS HE HAS NOT
HAD TIME TO GET FLUSH
TANKS WORKING AND MAKES
NO Definite PROMISE AS TO
TIME.

The board of county commissioners
adjourned yesterday afternoon after
three-day session. The only busi-
ness transacted with the exception
of that chronicled in yesterdays issue
of the Independent was the appoint
ing of Roy Jones as sewer inspector
to succeed himself for the ensuing
year and to advertise for bids to
furnish office supplies for the court
house and public printing. When
questioned as to the shape of the flush
tanks in this city. Inspector Jones
stated that he had not had time to
get them working properly and prom
ised to get them working as soon as
possible. He stated nothing definite
as to when that will be however. 1t
is to be hoped that they will be in
order in very short time as some of
the manholes in Elko emit very dis
agreeable odors which are a menace
to sanitation and health.

WINNEMUCCA MAY
Be DIVISION POINT
Report That Inlay Is to Be Abandoned
AS Southern Pacific
Terminal

Reports have been received in Reno
that there is poss ibility of nearly all
the shop work of the Southern Pa
cific company from California and Or
egon being brought to Sparks. In
case the shops are moved to Sparks,
1t is said 1000 men instead of about
$50, would be given employment at
the shops. The station would then
be taken from the Salt Lake division
and placed in the Sacramento divis-
lon by moving the division point to
Fernley the terminus OF the new
Fernley-Lassen branch.
In the event that the proposed pro-
gram Is carried out and the division
terminal moved from Sparks to Fern
ley, the move will probably result in
the elimination of Inlay also as a di-
vision point and the terminal again re-
established at Winnemucca.
The Reno Gazette says the rumor-
ed move will depend on the outcome
Of the legislative program in Nevada
this spring and the motive given Is
the alleged desire of the company to
escape the harsh exactlons of the
laws of California and Oregon. The
moving of the shops to Sparks would
depend, according to the report, on
the passage of no adverse legislation
In Nevada at the coming session.

SECURES COAT BUT
LOSES HOLD ON GRAY
Persistent Trailing Method of EIko
Man Costs Him Ticket
To Reno

George II. Brady, arrested in Elko
and sentenced to three months in
prison for selling liquor to an Indian
attempted to wheedle a coat out of the
government and did 1t, but at unex.
pected expense to himself, according
to the story told in Reno by United
States Marshal a. b. Gray.
Unknown to Gray. Deputy United
States Marshal Karns, had furnished
Brady with two suits of underwear.
AS short term prisoner, this was
about all that Brady could get. He
had tried to induce the government
to furnish him a new pair of false
teeth, but, as he was only in for three
months. he had been allowed to live
on soup.
Gray had promised Brady a new
coat, but Brady happened to call for 1t
in his absence, and Karns refused to
add to the underwear he had already
purchased. So Brady called today
when Gray was in aud demanded the
coat. Again II was refused, but
Karns. who is about six sizes taller
than Brady said he had an old coat
at the house he would give him.
You can give me the difference in
cash." Brady told Gray, "and I'll stay
right with you until l get It,"
Well" you'll have to stay a long
time" said Gray FOR I'm going on a
long Journey"
In preparation for coming up to
Reno, Gray went out on half a dozen
errands, and Brady followed him
. around like dog, never more than
two feet behind. Then Gray went
back to the office, got his grip and
started for the train, with Brady still
at his heels. At last Gray rebelled.
You stay here" he commanded, ad-
dressing Brady "If you show up at
the train with coat on may help
you get out of town, but don't let me
see you again until you've got the

OF BREAD
TO ADVANCE
Top Grades Of Best Patent Flour
Elevated Fifty-Five Cents
A Barrel

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-War prices to-
day not only hoisted wheat, but dealt
a stunning blow to consumers of -four.
Top grades of the best patent flour
were elevated just So cents barrel as
compared with twenty-four hours prev
ious, being held at s7.15 barrel.
Second qualities of flour that sold
for $500 last week were quoted at
$3.50 a barrel after today's rise. Flour
that commanded today S715 a barrel
sold in August for $3.50 a barrel. The
reason given for the advance in the
cost of flour was the fact that owing
to the abnormal European demand for
breadstuffs, cash wheat in Chicago to-
day had touched $1.36h, the highest
January price in more than forty
years.
Brokers Predict 50 Wheat.
Waves of buying in the wheat pit
on, change here carried the chief spec
ulative option, May delivery UP to
$1.375s at $1.37A, a leap of more than
10 cents In week and of cents or
more above last night. Many brokers
declared that the latest upturn was
merely another step toward 80 wheat
that the price of the May option
would go far beyond the s1.85 record
established in 1898 at the time Of the
Letter deal. Such enthusiasts avowed-
ly based their upredictlons on belief
that the European war would last as
much as two years more.
On the other hand, the export buy.
ing came to at least temporary halt
today; so far as Chicago was con-
ccrned, though not at the seaboard.
II was alos fact that great num-
bers of speculative traders. including
many so-called eleventh hour bulls.

out of the market. Indeed. at one
