ORCHESTRA
At WIGWAM TOMORROW

A musical organization of great
merit will be presented at the Wig
wan tomorrow matinee and evening
in connection with the usual excellent
program of pictures. Two musicians
OF ability have been brought to Elko
at considerable expense from outside
towns in order to make up an Or
chestra that has never been surpassed
in merit in Elko. The personnel will
consist of violin, piano, cornet, clari-
net, flute and trombone, and selections
and overtures by the best writer's of
music are on the program. The full
orchestra will play for both matinee
and evening performances at 2:30 and
s respectively. The concert in the
cveLing performances begins prompt
ly at 7:40, giving twenty minutes of
musical enjoyment before the pictur
es are started.

powerful and gripping, involving the

the story runs the love story that Gil

Quebec by General Wolfe Is the great

therefrom about two dozen of these
articles. He then went to the rear
door, let down the bar, and passed

or more persons implicated in the rob-

The only clew that the officers have
to follow is that two persons were
seen near the rear of the building last
night about nine o'clock by George
Bridenbecker. They acted in a rath-

thought of their presence at the time.
Night Officer Peck discovered the
rear door open and notified Roy Mer-

The classification of land to be used

by the state tax commission at a
meeting held last week, are as fol-
lows:
Cultivated Land-(First class, sec

assessed as nrst class cultivated land,
as also land capable of producing
over five tons of alfalfa hay per acre.
Grain land, and land capable of pro-
ducing three and half to five tons
of alfalfa hay per acre shall be as

be assessed as third class cultivated
land. Land capable of producing less
than two tons of cultivated hay per
acre shall be assessed as fourth class
cultivated land.

II was resolved by the commission
that the determination of the price
per acre under the foregoing general
classification shall be held in tenn
porary allegiance; that the various
county assessors be instructed to
gather land classification data, make
entry thereof on their 1915 assess,
ment rolls and await further instruc

tering prices.
1t VAS also resolved by :he commits.
sinn that land which by reason of
character alone would be placed in
one Of the foregoing classes. but
which by reason Of extra desirable To-
cation or other cause, is, in the opin-
ion Of the assessor, Of greater
valuation than land in general COM
ing under a like character of classi-
fication, shall be entered on the 1915
assessment roll on a separate line, its
general classification given preceded
by the word special" and followed
by figures showing its estimated ex-
cess value. AS for example: John
Doe owns 800 acres of first class cul-
tivated land, 20 miles from the city
of Elko, and ten acres of first class
cultivated land adjoining the city linn
its of Reno, where, by reason OF its
location, 1t is worth per acre four
times as much as the more distant
land. Entry will be made thus:

land, 800 acres; special first class cul-
itvated land (40O per cent?, ten acres.
