INSPECTING ICE
FROM ELKO POND

II. B. Bulmer, state Inspector of
food and drugs for the state of Ne
vada, spent yesterday In Elko. He
came here 10 inspect the ice recently
harvested from the ponds east of
Elko
During the past several weeks ru.
mors have been circulated to the ef-
feet that the ice was contaminated
and that it was unfit for domestic pur-
poses. Investigations by local officials
failed to show that there was foun-
dation for the reports and Mr.. Bul.
mer was called to make scientific
tessJ. He took samples of the Ice and
water from under the fee and these
will be subjected to thorough analyses
a report will be furnished by him at
an early date.
In conversation with an Independent
reporter, Mr.. Bulmer stated while
thorough analyses only would deter.
mine whether or not the ice was tit
for use, that from his observations OF
the premises he felt quite sure that
the Ice was sanitary and good. He
stated that ice purified itself, and that
the longer It stands In storage the
better 1t Is. Ninety per, cent OF the
bacteria in water is destroyed by
freezing. and when ice Is stored for
several months, ninety per cent of the
remaining bacteria is destroyed. So
II will be seen that badly contaminat.
ed water when frozen and allowed to
remain in storage will be rendered
practically harmless, more than 90 per
cent of the bacteria being destroyed.
He further stated that natural ice on
rivers was generally better than artI.
ficial ice for the reason that the latter
is generally used soon after manufac
tnred,

INCOME TAXES
DUE MARCH |.

Joseph J. Scott, collector of internal
revenue at San Francisco, has sent
out notices 10 corporations within his
district, notifying them that their In.
come tax must be paid on or before
March 1st.
For the accommodation of corpora
tions in this section. a branch office
has been opened at Reno. Seotts cir
cular says in part:
Return must be on file in this Of
flee or a branch on or before March
l, 1916, unless an extension of time
is obtained upon written application.
In this respect the provisions of the
law are mandatory, and penalties will
automatically attach for delinquency.
1T Is not sufficient that return
be mailed on or before the first day
of March; II must be filed in one of
the internal revenue offices.
Every corporation, with the excep-
ton of certain classes of corporations
specifically exempted in the language
of the income tax law, Is required to
make returns for the calendar year
1915, or for its own fiscal year, If it
has taken the proper steps to establish
a fiscal year basis in this office. If
the corporation had legal existence
during the year, 1t must make return,
regardless of whether it's business was
conducted at a profit or loss, and
even though 1t was not actively en-
gagged In business.
at will not do for a corporations
officers to assume that the corpora
ton Is exempt from the provisions of
the law. Inquiry should be made.
"All letters of inquiry will be given
prompt attention. It is suggested.
however, that when inquiry is made
by letter the exact situation be pre-
sented as It Is difficult at times to
reply definately to hypothetical ques
tions."

ACTIVITY
At JARB|DGE

Chas. Hawkinson is down from Jar
bidge and he reports that camp look
ing better than ever before. He says
that number of the properties are
showing up splendidly on develop
ment, and that the coming spring will
witness great activity.
The Long Hike property is looking
particularly good and thirty men are
engaged in development and extract
ing ore.
Joe O'Byrne has eight men working
on the Flake, and good results are
being obtained. There are five men
on the Pick and Shovel, five on the
Buckeye, and six on the Alphas. Work
at the present is much hampered by
deep snow as there is constant danger
of snow slides.
Mr.. Hawkinson says that in his
opinion the outlook for the camp was
never so bright, and general feeling
of optomism prevails.
He reports about two feet of snow
on the level ten days ago and he has
been advised that it has been showing
there ever since. He came out by
way of Twin Falls and Salt Lake City.

TITLES ARE nov
ENTIRELY CLEARED

Attorney e. E. Caine today filed
with the County Recorder the accep-
tance OF the railroad company Of the
provisions of the law passed by con-
gress legalizing conveyances Of prop
erty within the right of way Of the

Wells, Cariin and Winnemucca. Ac-
companying the acceptance was copy
of the bill and other instruments.
This Is the final act in quieting
titles to several hundred thousand
dollars worth of property. which has
been a source of much anxiety for a
number OF years.
The instruments arrived recently
from Washington and bear the sigma
ture OF Secretary of State Lansing.
1t will be remembered that Mr.
Caine spent many months in Wash

in getting this bill through congress

The most enthusiastic and success.
full meeting so far had in Elko County
on the rabies situation was held In
the commissioners rooms of the court
house this forenoon. A large number
of ranchers from valleys south of
Elko were in attendance and they
urged immediate action be taken 10
exterminate predatory animals on ac-
count of the great danger to human
life, and losses of livestock on ac-
count of rabies. They are thoroughly
aroused to the situation with which
the county and state are confronted,
and sentiment was unanimous that
immediate and effective action was
absolutely necessary.
E. R. Sans, of the U. S. biological
department, was present and gave
valuable advice as to the best meth
DDS to pursue, and offered every as
sistance within his power. He ar.
ranged to appoint two government
men to cooperate with the ranchers
of Lamoille and Pleasant Valleys. and
these will at once be placed in field.
1t was the opinion of many at the
outset that high bounty should be
offered by the county commissioners
on scalps, but after the matter was
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1916-01-25

thoroughly discussed !; was decided
that better results could be obtained
otherwise. Every stockman present
volunteered TO put one or more men
II trapping and setting out poison at
his own expense. and the county conr
missioners agreed to furnis; poison to
all persons who will use e. Accord
ingly an order for five hundred ounces
of strychnine was given and this vii;
be placed in three ounce capsules and
forwarded to all responsible persons
requesting same
II is believed that this action of the
board will induce hundreds of persons
throughout the county to distribute
poison, and that the effect on predi-
tory animals will at once be notice
able. The bounty on coyote scalps
was recently raised from fifty cents
to dollar, and with poison furnished
free many will distribute it just for
the bounty, while others will distribute
it with the sole idea of eXterminating
rabies.
In sending out the poison, full in
structions as to the most effective
manner of its use. will accompany
every consignment. These instruc-
tions are being prepared by Mr.. Sans.

with respect TO Elko Township, have
been able 10 obtain all this data. Elko
Township has more business along
these lines than any other township
in the county, but will state that Car
lin township has considerable busi-
ness relating to mlsdemeanors. The
standing of the cases I'm Elko township
along the lines above indicated are as
follows:
Forty-two cases wherein the defend.
ants have been found guilty and SEN
tence suspended; twenty-eight cases
dismissed; five cases not guilty.
eleven cases wherein warrants have
been issued and defendants not appre-
hended; one case where the jury dis
| agreed, and one case wherein the de-
fcndant was arrested and transferred
to another county: two cases wherein
defendant was found guilty and fined.
and the cases appealed; three cases
wherein defendants have applied for
wrlts Of habeas corpus
OF the above cases wherein sentence
| was suspended, will state that these
! defendants we're undesrables and
were allowed an opportunity to leave
the county before Judgment was pro.
nounced. The different justices of the
peace have used their discretion in
this regard for the principal reason
that these defendants were undesir.
able citizens, and further for the rea.
son that the limited amount of space
in the county jail would not allow all
of these defendants to be sent to the
county Jail.
Average jail sentence in cases OF
conviction in the Justice court was
approximately fifty days.
In all felony cases defendants were
4 sentenced according to the Indetermi
nate Sentence Law, and no approx
mate average can be given.
The approximate cost of conductine
the criminal business in this counts
during the year 1915 is S14,0ss.52. TIL,
amount of penal fines collected is ap
proximately s4S075.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-Pressure
brought to bear by the western and
northern democrats has resulted in
an announcement from the White
House that the president will advo-
cate bill creating a non-partisan
tariff commission which will be en-
powered to submit data. The presi-
dent, heretofore, has not favored this
plan. 1t was his idea that a federal
trade commission should perform this
task.
