claring that the revival of prosperity
is not due to the war, is greeted with
smile of derision, for every man,
woman and child in the United States
knows better. The Democrats gave
the whole argument away when they
started to charge the high cost of
living to the war. When they did this,
they could no longer expect anyone
to believe that business activity was
not due to the war. Having found
their leaders false in this particular,
the rank and file OF the party are
looking with suspicion upon every
thing that cmanates from the same
source.
An instance of failure to deceive
the voters is seen in the case of the
rural credits law. The law was passed
with great display, signed under a
spotlight, and Immediately the Farm
Loan Board began a tour of the
country, making an early visit to
Maine, where an election was about to
take place. In every part of the coun-
try much publicity has been secured
and every important commercial cen
ter has been led to believe that it may
be made the site of farm loan bank
Farmers are beginning to realize, how
ever, that they are not going to gel
money in the future under more fav'
orable conditions than they have il
the past, and the campaign value o
the law has been lost.

THREE JUDGES MAY
HEAR SUIT TO TEST LAW

It is probable that the suit to test
the constitutionality of the state law
under which Perly Bickle of Elko was
sentenced to life Imprisonment and to
undergo an operation will be heard
before three federal judges sitting en-
banc, says the Gazette. Attoney-Gen-
eral Thatcher states that this is the
usual procedure in cases involving the
constitutionality of state statute
when the matter is to be determined
in the federal court.
Mickle has appealed to the federal
court for an order annulling the dis
trict courts mandate that he undergo
the operation. The attorney general
will raise several interesting points
when the matter comes up for hear
ing. Among them will be the conten-
ton that inasmuch as Mickle was sem
fenced to life Imprisonment he is le-
gally dead and therefore without ca
pacity to sue, because the proceeding
under which he seeks relief is civil
suit in euqity. The jurisdiction oi tho
court will also be raised.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIAL FRI
DAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING

The Sunday school of the Methodist
church will hold its annual social on
Friday afternoon and evening of this
week, on the parsonage lawn. The
various committees are striving to
make this event one of the most en-
joyable occasions of the season to
those who attend. Games and songs,
in which all may participate, will be
conducted in the most satisfactory
manner. The refreshments will be
served at a seasonable hour.
At $3.50 in the afternoon the chill
dren of the primary classes of the
school are to come, in order that they
might fully enjoy themselves before
the hour arrives at which their par
ents will probably desire that they re-
turn home Older pupils and adults
will assemble at 1880 p. M, and cor
dial invitation is extended to all pros
pective members and friends Of the
Sunday school to attend the evening
social. At this session an offering
will be received to help defray the ex-
pense of refreshments.-ad

PUBLIC SALE OF
CALIFORNIA LANDS

The Secretary of tine Interior has
authorized the public sale at Willis,
California, commencing at 10 o'clock
a. M, on August 20, 1916, of the undis-
posed of lands in the Round Valley
Indian reservation, California, under
the act of February 8. 1905 (33 Stat,
1867. The lands are located in Men
dicino and Trinity counties, Califor-
mia, in the San Francisco and Eureka
Land districts, and have an aggregate
area of 44,10673, which have been ap-
praised at $56,230.79. The lands have
been arranged in 302 blocks, having
an average of 146 acres in each block.
The lands are to be sold at not less
than the appraised price in the man
ner in which they have been blocked
out, though the superintendent Of
sale may first offer less than an en-
tire block. Purchasers will be required
to pay at least one-third down, the
balance in two equal annual INSTALL
ments, with interest at per cent per
annum on deferred payments, in adj
dition to commissions.
No limit is fixed as to the amount
of land any one person may buy, and
no showing will be required as to
age, citizenship, residence, cultivation
or improvements.
The lands are in general mountain
Gus, with several small valleys, and
are almost entirely covered with
brush and timber The timber, aside
from madrona, consists of oaks, valu-
able only for firewood, and conifers,
of doubtful economic value
The country is well adapted by ma
ture to almost any kind of agricultu-
raj use. Vine and fruit, as well as
grain and alfalfa culture, should, it is
reported, be highly successful as far
as the raising of crops is concerned,
and poultry and dairy products shoulf
do well. Progress along these lines
has been hampered by lack of market
facilities. The nearest railroad point
is Dos Rios, fourteen miles from Co
yelo, and eighteen miles from the
nearest point on the lands to be sold.
The present principal industry of set
tiers is the raising of cattle and hogs,
and some sheep.
schedule of lands and other in
formation in regard to the sale may
be obtained upon inquiry of the Reg
lister and Receiver of the u. s. Land
Offices at San Francisco and Eureka,
California, or of the superintendent
of sale, at the time of sale.

TOMORROW NIGHTS
FEATURE AT THE NIXON

Nitagraph presents May Robson IN
"A Night Out" at the Nixon opera
house tomorrow night
May Robson, one of the most popu-
lar actresses that ever appeared on
Broadway, is the latest TO enter the
field of motion pictures. She appears
in Vitagraph produetion-one splen-
didly suitable for her appealing and
graceful art of character portrayal.
In "A Night Out" written in collabo-
ration by Charles T. Dazey and her
self and produced by George ID. Baker,
she exhibits a girlish freshness that is
a graphic lesson to those women who
grow old before their time.
Miss Robson is cast as a grand
7other who has been held in restraint
ell her life and whose girlish impulses
are still checked by an austere daugh-
ter Her grandsons find in her a real
companion and champion in defense
of their boyish pranks.
The boys love the daughters of
neighbor, who offers a ring to the first
couple married. Waldo. the son of
Jonas Deacon, president of the Purity
League, steals the ring. The proprie-
tor of a cafe is forced to pay graft to
Deacon and his failure to "come
across" leads to a raid by the police
on the very night that grandmother
end the two boys sneak out for an
evening of enjoyment.
In the confusion of the raid. grand
other drops her purse, but manages

having her daughter learn of her es-
capade. The purge IDENTIFIES the old
lady. however and when the polire

Waldo confesses. saving the two boys
from the charge against them. The
daughters love affair turns out disas-
trously and she begs to come into the
kindly influence of grandmother.
Miss Robson in her portrayal of
grandmother is forced to tango, to
climb to the second story of a house
and enter the window and to do many
other youthful feats that belle her
approaching years. In other hands
the part would have been burlesqued,
but so finished is Miss Robson's act
ing that she makes the grandmother
a pleasing, lovable old lady, with
whom the audience will find itself
thoroughly in sympathy.

Six reservations in Nevada are to

reporting on the bill, which was intro
duced by Senator Pittman, described
the reservations as follows:

mated to contain 920 acres, is unsur-

about 257.25 acres which might be

Fort Halleck (hay and timber), in
TIPS. 35 and SO n, r. So E., containing
about GAO acres. The tract book for
this reservation is at the government

3,92138 acres. The tract book for this
reservation is at the bindery, but the

ed that most of said reservation has

Fort McDermitt (hay), situated in

Because the state tax rate this year
is 46 cents Ga decrease of 17.8 per cent
from last years rate, it will be neces-
sary to bring the assessed valuation
of property in the state, for the pur-
pose of raising state revenue, up to
$173 900. 900 as against $152000,000
last year, says the Gazette. There will
be an increase of 14.3 per cent in gen.
eral valuations this year.
The state board of equalization.
composed of the assessors of the 16
counties, the members of the state tax
commission and the governor as chair
man, will convene at Carson next
Monday to look over and revise the
assessment rolls OF the different coun-
ties. In case the assessment valua-
tions decided upon by the different as
SCISSORS fail to raise the required es-
timated revenue steps to take care of
the probable deficiency will be taken
by the board.
This year assessors have been in
structed TO levy on 80 per cent of the
total value of all property subject to
tax. Last year assessments were lev
led on 20 per cent of the valuation.
The state board holds its session from
August 21 till the first Monday in Oc-
tober.
In 1912 the total assessed valuation
i'm the state was $91 .000.00 and the
state tax rate that year was sc cents.
