stopped as a result of the earthquake
lat Saturday. is now better than
ever, and is a trife hotter than be-
fore the shake.
Fire Wednesday night in Aurora
destroyed the Northern saloon and
restaurant and for a time gave the
residents of that city a scare as it
looked as if the fire was to spread.
The loss was practically covered with
insurance. A defective flue in the
restaurant is blamed for the fire.
The city council of Ely has caused
tables and benches to be installed in
the center of a wide street, and un-
der some large trees, one block off
the Lincoln Highway. These were
erected as a picnic place for tourists
travelling that thoroughfare. The
spot is kept clean and inviting by the
city.
Three boys from Salt Lake City
were caught recently at Susanville,
Calf. after they had appropriated
two carr that did not belong to them
and had put each of them out of com.
mission. The boys were heavily
armed and confessed to the thefts.
They were returned to Reno and will
be held there.
G. H. Miller, a %prospector who re-
sided for several years at Bonnie
Clare, in the southern part of Nye
County, was found dead at his claims
in Plumas County, California, several
days ago. His throat was cut. his face
slashed and his body stabbed in sew
eral places. 1t was first thought that
he had been murdered but investiga-
ton showed that he had doubtless
committed suicide. He had been
dead several days when found.
Considerable damage was caused
to the Majestic theater in Reno by
the earthquake of last week. The
damage was not discovered until the
next day, when the building was en-
tered. The floors on the main and
balcony sections sank from a quarter
to a full inch, while numerous cracks
appear in the walls and ceiling, where
connections are made. The east side
of the building appeared to have
suffered the most.
James Dow, for several years a
resident of Phoebe and a we'll known
mining man, was the victim of a
terrible accident recently. He was
running a gasoline hoist at one of
the mines of the southern camp when
just as he had shut off the gasoline
and was reaching for the oil feed
valve to close it. his coat sleeve
caught in the master gear and in a
twinkling his arm and shoulder were
crushed to a pulp in the meshes of
the gears. He walked to the hos
pital after his fellow workmen had
rescued him and it was hoped that
his life could be saved. He was re-
lieved of his terrible suffering the
next day when death ended his pain.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
The Tar Problem

An editorial in the Fallon Standard
on the tax problem is in part as fol-
lows:
But the fact remains that money
must be raised to meet the contracted
obligations made by the State through
its Legislature. 1t matters not wheth-
er there was a need for the creation
of a useless commission, the employ
ment of a corps of extra deputies,
or the increase in the salaries of
the incumbent officials, the fact
remains that these obligations must
be met and it is apparent that the
remedy for existing evils does not
lie in a quarrel with the board of
equalization in its endeavor to raise
the funds necessary to liqujdate these
obligations, but with the vicious sys-
tenn that prevails of making appro-
priations for purposes for which no
real demand exists.
With a population not exceeding
eighty thousand souls at the outside.
we are attempting to support a State
government large enough and com
prehensive enough for a common
wealth of a million. This condition
is of itself bad enough in all con-
science and when to it is added the
gradual decline in property valua-
tons in the mining counties. with
no certainty of a revival in any of
them to meet the requirements of
bond issues for schools and other pub
lie buildings erected in flush times.
it requires no gift of prophecy to fore
tell the approach of the time when
city, town and farm property will
have to carry the burden alone of
maintaining our high pressure State
government. This means that we
may confidently look forward to the
time when the valuations will be
placed so high as to amount to con-
fiscation by the imposition of the
high rate necessary to raise the funds
that will be required to remunerate
our top-heavy officialdom, unless a
policy of retrenchment is inaugu-
rated soon.
About one-half of the 16 counties
of the State have no arabic or farm
land worth mentioning. These are
the mining counties, and under ex-
listing conditions have a controlling
influence in directing legislation en-
tirely out of proportion to the
amount of taxes contributed by their
respective counties and as voters
have few responsibilities that tend
to make them careful in the expendi-
ture of public money which the
other fellow has to contribute for the
general government. With the de-
cline of the mining towns there will
come a depreciation in the value of
all their public utility property such
as power, light and water companies
with a corresponding decrease in
business and residence property and
the output of the mines. With no
farm lands or growing live stock in
dustry to supplant this depletion of
the tax receipts, the other counties,
possessing more stable realty values,
can expect a corresponding raise in
valuations to offset the shortage.

CONCERT A SUCCESS

The concert given under the
auspices of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the M. E. church by
Misses Leota Saunders and Shir-
ley Lewis last Friday was highly
successful, the church being fill
ed to capacity.
While the rare musical talent
of Miss Saunders and Miss Lewis
was the feature of the concer, t
their rendition Of difficult operatic
selections eliciting continuous
applause, much credit is due the
local talent for it's part, especially
in midsummer, when inside en-
tertainments are taboo.
Miss Lillian Davis was heard
to advantage in a recitation, like
wise Mrs. G. A. Spence, whose
ability in this direction is we'll
known here.
Miss Ruth Demaray and Miss
Irene Plank, who so ably assisted
Miss Saunders at the piano, are
among the rising planlStS OF this
section, and their many friends
were gratified at this demonstra.
ton Of their ability.
Mrs. E. S. Mckee in Aunt
Jerusha's Visit to the City," was
excellent, and too much credit
cannot be given the male chorus
of the church for their part in
the entertainment, which swelled
the building fund of the new par
sonage to liberal proportions.

County Jail
Jim Allen, a stranger about 80,
was locked up by Marshal House
last Wednesday on a charge of
disturbance.
Two hours later the Marshal
discovered that the heavy iron
lock on the Jail door had been
sawed in two and the prisoner
released, the informant describ-
ing the men to a nicely.
Then the willy marshal set his
wits to work and in less time
than it takes to tell it, the trio
were captured and securely
shackled. were lodged in Jail, a
brand new lock replacing the
old one, the escapade reminding
one of the antics of "the section
boss who was in again and out
again. Finnegan."
But it was no joke when the
men were hailed before Judge
Wilkin on a charge of interfer-
ing with justice. and with sullen
.leers gave their names as Ralph
Jones and Robert Williams.
Although the pair plead not
guilty, the city's case was clear
and the judge made it $25 and
costs each, in default of which
they now languish in the county
bastile, being escorted to their
doom by Marshal House and
John Schlager via automobile.
Jim Allen is probably the
meekest of the bunch, and while
his pals are pondering over their
antics in this wicked world, Jim
will be beautifying our streets
and boulevards.
The trio are supposed to be
leaders of desperate gang,
whose absence is preferable to
