CLAIMS THAT
ITS ASSESSMENT
IS EXCESSIVE

In the tax sut filed at Carson by
the Truckee River General Electric
Company, the cmplaint alleges that
the property of the company, instead
of being assessed on the valuation es-
tablished by the Tax Commission,
should be lowered. The Tax Commis-
sion's assessed valuation, represent
ing what the Commission considers IS
90 per cent of the actual value, is
$50, 1888; the company claims that the
assessed valuation should be $500, l4o
The company owns property IN SIX
counties, Washoe, Storey, Ormsby,
Douglas, Lyon and Mineral, and the
total amount of taxes falling delin-
quent June is $6.3S6, based on the
last valuations established by the Tax
Commission.
The increase in the assessed valua-
ton of the Reno Power, Light and
Water Company is not as large as in
the case of the Truckee River General
Electric Company The non-opera-
tive property of the company was as
sessed by the County Assessor at Sl8,-
$40. This was increased by the Tax
Commission to $4,000, representing
what the Commission considers oO per
cent OF the real value The total as
sessment of all the company's prop
erty as fixed by the COMMISSION on the
90 per cent basis, is 1922, All the
property is located in Washoe county.
The company claims the assessed val
uaton, on the 90 per cent basis, should
be $7l2,S29. The total tax, figuring
on the Tax Commissions figures, is
$2l,5eS. The company claims its to-
tai tax should be $l8,068.

WILL STOCK
STATE WATERS WITH
SILVER SALMON

Tomorrow the Fish Commission
will send to Lake Tahoe 10000 young
silver salmon. This is to be one of
three platings for the year of this va
riety of fish, the one in Tahoe, one in
Walker Lake and one in Pyramid
Lake.
1t takes five years for these fish to
reach maturity, when they attain a
weight of from ten to twelve pounds.
For several years experiments have
been going on for the purpose of de-
termining if salmon can be made to
flourish in the lakes of Nevada. Five
years ago a lot was planted in the
several lakes of the big d-llocked
salmon, in all ;bout 100000, and last
week among a catch of trout from
Pyramid one of the full grown salmon
was found
The present experiment has been
going on for two years and it is ex-
pected, if the new variety 1ourishes,
thai in two or three years more the
markets of the State will be in a
measure supplied with this excellent
food fish from its own waters, in
stead of being compelled to take them
secondhand from the California
marlets.-Carson Appeal

A PRETTY WEDDING
TAKES PLACE
LAST SUNDAY

The Methodist Episcopal Church
of this city was the scene OF very
pretty wedding last Sunday at the
hour of high noon when Mr.. George
F. Willis and Miss Elizabeth Koontz
were united in marriage by the Re
Frank Summers.
The church platform was bower OF
green ferns and white carnations,
while beautiful pointed arch of white
streamers held a bunch of white
sweet peas at the apex! Two little
girls dressed in white and seated IN
the background at opposite corners
of the platform held the two ends OF
the streamers. As Professor Rick
seeker played the strain of Mendel-
sohn's Wedding March, the bridal
party, consisting of the bride and
groom and Mr.. and Mrs. J. |. Wilson
entered and quietly walked to the
front, the bride and groom taking
their position under the arch.
The br de was charming in a shim-
mering charmeuse dress of white, car
rying a mass of white brides roses
and lilies of the valley. The white
tulle veil which was held close to her
hair by dainty wreath of lilies of the
valley, fell in long folds to the edge
of her dress adding a filmy grace to
the brides attractive appearance. The
groom was dressed in unconventional
black. The softened strains of music,
played through the wedding cere-
mony, rendered it doubly impressive.
Just at the close, the little girls pulled
the streamers, loosening the sweet
peas in a fragrant shower over the
two who had just been united. The
the friends who were SO fortunate d
to be present, fastened forward to
wish the bride all happiness and 20
congratulate the luck groom.
Mrs. Willis has for the past year
been a resident of Yerington in the
capacity of director and teacher of the
Lyon County Normal School and i.
a valued addition to every phase of
the city's life, while Mr.. Willis ha
been wellknown for many years as
the cashier of the Lyon County Bank
The good wishes of the entire com
munity go with Mr.. and Mrs. Willis
in their new home life in Yerington.

THE INDIAN is
RAPIDLY GETTING ON
TO PALE FACE WAYS

Few of us realize the fast growing
civilization of our Walker River IN
dians, and that they are fast becom-
ing good farmers and self-sustaining:
The time was here in Mason Valley
when the Piute was willing to work
for his grub. At the present time he
demands and gets as high rate of
pay as any white man, and in some
things higher, as the rancher prefers
the Indian hay stacker and pays him
higher rate of wages than he does
the white man. This year the Indian
as harvest hand will be a scarce
article, as most of them having land
of their own, are this year cultivating
it, having about 100 acres in crops,
about $50 head of cattle, 100 head of
good work horses, about 200 Indian
ponies and a few hogs. The are well
on the way to prosperity. No free
rations are issued excepting to the
aged and infirm, blind, crippled or in
sane. There are about 400 Indians
at the Reservation-more than has
been for years. Under the present
care of DR.. F. J. Mckinley they seem
well contented in staying there. At
any time any should want farm imple
ments of any kind they can purchase
them of the department on four
years credit without interest, thus Civ
ing them an opportunity to stock up
and make the ranch pay out for them
This year their farms look as though
they were looked after, and if they
continue in such work they will have
some of US farmers in this valley beat
to a frazzle.

Mining Operations
Are Beginning

1t is reported that the Buzzard
group of mines on the Umpqua di-
vide, about twenty-four miles west
of Crater Lake, have just been bond
ed to wealthy syndicate for $780,
900. A new 1,5OO-foot tunnel win
be driven 500 feet below the present
workings, which it is expected will
penetrate the gold bearing rock and
galena at that depth, thus greatly en-
hancing the value of the mine.
Hon. w. G. Lever, ]. W. Merritt
of Central Point, Captain o. c. Apple
gate of klamath Falls, John L. Grubb
of Ashland and other well-known
men own and are developing this
mine, which is one of the most extern
sive ore bodies In a well-known min
eral belt.
The proposed tunnel Is expected to
cost $4,000, and will probably be ex-
cavated without delay by the syndi-
cate holding the option.
