Warm Weather, Warm Discussions
at Meeting of Tax Commission

cattle in -hree of the counties of the
state. Before the creation of the Tax
commission, two or three years ago,
they escaped with an assessment of
somethin~ like 100000 The Tax
commission, when it came into power,
raised this amount to approximately
$80O,OOO, but the true value of the es-
tate is IA in excess of that amount
and this year the counties interested
fixed its value at ST 100000 This the
estate representatives objected to, but
yesterday admitted that its true value
approximated $1,055,OO0 So taking
this amount as basis to work on the
estate and the Tax commission will
now get together and put reasonable
value on it for taxable purposes.

Thought He Was
Paying Too Much

Yesterday afternoon an auto tour
ist, VINO was travelling in the very
best of style, seemed supplied with
plenty of money, and was willing to
pay his way, had occasion to be shay
ed. He sat down in the BARRIERS
chair, had his whiskers amputated,
and when his hair had been properly
combed, brushed. and so Gil, it came
time to pay for the service. He hand
ed the chin scrapper quarter, which
the latter, according to custom, non
chalantly dropped into the cash
drawer.
The tourist seemed dunfOfounded
and did not find his breath till he hid
reached the sidewalk, when he gave
tongue to his felings in language
which it would not do to print He
thought he gas being held up because
he was stranger, and said so in sew
eral different styles of phraseology.
When told by bystanders that two
bits was the regular price he seemed
somewhat Modified, but declared that
when he returns to Nevada from the
fair he will bring along safety
razor, as two bits is too much to pay
for half an hours work by a beard
surgeon. He had never paid more
than IS cents, and did not purpose

Hanotaux did not express this crit

So admitted my English friend.

No doubt France and England will

Germany does not desire war with
America Officials admit that if Ber-
lin desired American participation IN
the war it would be hard for this
tountry to keep out. Bernstorff's re-

Germany has drafted a reply to the

France Grows Impatient Because
England Don't Furnish Enough Men

BY William Philip Simms, United
Press staff correspondent.
PARIS. Aug. Il, Coy maiD Every
body in France knows it, so why try
to keep it secret: France is not at
all satisfied with what England has
done and is doing i'll this war and
ltuglishmcn in France, soldiers as
well as sojournNs, admit France is
right.
And now come stories by private
conveyance from Great Britain that
London is being fortified with a
couple of rows Of deienses running
entirely around the city; that the
English are saying "one never can
tell what will happen that they Id
nit they lack ammunition and Will
continue to lack it even under the
best possible conditions Tor some
months to come; that il the Germans
make a dash for Calais and the other
Channel ports with forces such as
she is using around Warsaw, there
will be no stopping them at present.
What do all these stories mean,
The French are asking. What is the
matter with England after moe tnan
a year OF war? Why cant she, with
All her steel mills and kindred works,
turn ont much more than sufficient
ammunition enough, i'll fact, to sup

It was warm day yesterday be-
fore the State Board of Assessors,
both literally and figuratively. To
begin with the thermometer reached
one OF the highest points it has at
tanned since the beginning of summ,- :,
and that did not serve to mollify the
empe rature of the members. A lot
of protestlnts to the assessments that
rad been declared by the Tax COM
mission were also present, and they
we're warm, oftentimes wrathy, when
questioned as to stock and land val
ues, and especially where there was
the slightest intimation that some Of
their possessions had been covered
up and escaped taxation. Between
the suns heat and the vehemency Of
the kickers matters reached the boil
ing stage at several periods, but with
al good bit of information was
cleaned and a lot accomplished.
Pat Walsh, one of the land and
stock kings of Lander county, was
present and protested against the
assessors valuation of $l47,555 placed
on his land and the total assessment
OF $265 900 placed on all of his pos
sessions. He said that he would sell
his land for the assessment that hal
been put on it, but would rct include
his water rights, which, h. said, were
independent and nona- 5essable. He
was willing. in other words, to let go
the milk at a moderate figure, but
would hold on to the cream. There
was also some question about the
number of stock he had turned in tor
assessment purposes. According -
his figures he only owned 1900 head
according to the assessor of Lander
county the amount should be $500.
Finally it was stated by the commits
sion that they would send an expert
to Lander county and make an in
ventory OF Mr.. Walsh's property and
base the assessment on his report.
Mr.. Walsh did not take kindly to this
proposition and made some objection,
but the boards decision prevailed and
will be carried out
Representatives Of the Dunphy es-
tate were also present and asked ior
reduction on their possessions. The
estate is one of the richest in Nevada
and owns between 10000 and 2OO,-
