FIRST NEW NUMBER

The state automobile department
| Wednesday began registration of
automobiles for 1917.
Dec. 20 is the date for the close
of the 1916 registration and the be-
ginning of the 1917 season. When
the registration for 1916 closed, the
department had issued number plates
for 19S,050 automobiles and had TAX
en- in fees amounting to $1,S54,501.
The year 1916 shows an increase
of 52,942 cars over 1916 and an in
crease of $321,4 4S in fees. The in
crease in revenue would have been
much greater were it not for the fact
! that many of the machines are entit-
| led to registration at half rate-as
having been in use more than four
years.
| The increase in number of cars in
use in Iowa has been rapid. In 1911
there were 27.99S cars registered
and the fees collected by the state
amounted to S259,736.
The number Of cars registered and
the fees collected each year since
then follow: 1912, s4.1SS cars, S4S5-
800 fees; 1918, 70,O6S cars, $685.
46S fees; 1914. 106,0S7 cars, $1,040-
1876 fees; 1915. 145,109 cars, ST.
533,053 fees.
The department registered 6,901
motorcycles this year.
The state will not issue new num-
Der plates for 1917 to cars which are
reregistered. Each person register
ing a car will receive card with the
following certificate:
This is to certify that the per-
son named on the reverse side of this
certificate has registered motor
vehicle described in application on
file in this department and has paid
the fee required by law, for the pc
riod ending Dec. 81, 1917
All new cars registered will re-
ceive number plates. The first new
car to be registered for 1917 will re-
ceive No. 19S,052.

)rIGINAL POEM APPRECIATED

ne s'llow.ng lines were ~Had by
Mrs. Frank Drury, President of the
Old Hamlin Ladies Aid Society, which
met with Mrs. Marsh McNutt, on
Wednesday afternoon of last week:
AS we meet today at the home of Mrs
McNutt,
We thought to vary our program
So as not to get into a rut,
And it seemed a very opportune time
tc take
An outline of the years work, and a
report to make.
So we will stop brief time and pond
er over what we've done
How to commence the new year, and
what victories are to be won.
To say I've enjoyed the Aid work
would be putting it mild,
For each member has seemed so faith
full and obeyed like a child,
You always were ready, no matter
what / asked,
Not how long the road, or how hard
the task,
But what can l do" always seemed
your one aim, when Iiasked for
help.
To make the Aid keep her name,
When the society met at the Stanley
home,
And elected it's officers, and the years
work had begun,
/ felt the responsibilities so keen and
great,
And the Efforts / certainly would
have to make,
For you were used to a leader, both
faithful and good,
Who was always there and your
wants understood,
And to make up the duties of such a
one,
Is not the easiest task to perform.
But we have worked together for
nearly year,
Have put forth our best efforts with
out thot of fear,
And hope that our labors will always
prove true
To Him who will Judge when our
work is through.
There is one of our number whose
work is done,
She has finished her tasks and to the
Saviour has gone,
Yes, we will miss her, always good
cheer,
AS we meet month after month
During another long year.

WAS LARGE ATTENDANCE

Wednesday afternoon in spite Of
the cold and stormy weather, about
"a members of the Household Econ
omics Department of the Columbian
Club met with Mrs. DR.. Fulton. The
afternoon was given over entirely to
having a social time. One of the spec
ial features of the afternoon was a
Christmas tree. Santa Claus was
present for little time to distribute
gifts to the members. Later they en-
joyed taffy pull. Delicious refresh
ments consisting of suet pudding,
coffee and candy were served by the
committee.

MRS. PRIESTLEY DIED
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON

Mrs. c. H. Priestley, who has been
seriously i'll at her home east of town
for more than year, died this after
noon shortly after the noon hour. For
several months past her condition
was considered alarming, but at times
she seemed to rally and this gave the
family some hope of ultimate recov-
cry. However, the last four days she
was worse and her children were call
ed to her bedside.
Audubon people will be grieved to
learn of her death. Mr.. Priestley had
recently purchased one of the finest
homes in the city and expected to
move to town the first of the year.
At the hour of going to press no
arrangements had been made for the
funeral.

CONGRESSMAN GREEN'S WORK

Washington newspapers of the 10th
inst. featured a speech in the house
of representatives by Congressman
Green of the Ninth Iowa district in
which he called attention to the con-
dition of the United States treasury.
The Times report is as follows:
Predicting a bond issue before the
end of the fiscal year and pointing
out that the treasury of the United
States is running behind at the rate
of $20,00O,000 a month, Congress
man Green of Iowa, leading men,
Der of the ways and means committee
has made public an analysis of fiscal
conditions.
Judge Green says it is surprising
that more attention has not been paid
| to treasury conditions. He expects
to see the treasury expenditures $500
100000 beyond receipts in the fiscal
year to follow this one. Judge Green
said:
at is matter of surprise that the
report of the secretary of the treas
ury presented to this congress has not
attracted more attention. This re-
port shows that there will be deficit
of over 100000 for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1918, and ex-
penditures will exceed receipts by
over $500, 100000 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1918, which is the
year for which appropriations will be
made this season. An examination
of the report shows it is based on the
assumption that our troops will be
withdrawn from the Mexican border
by January 1, but the condition of the
treasury is one which might we'll
cause alarm in any event.
"This fiscal year the governments
expenditures so far have exceeded the
receipts by over $20,000,000 per
month. We now have a balance in
I the treasury of only little over $780,
600, 900, if we exclude the balance
/ put to the credit of the disbursing Of
/ ffcers, which is certainly no part of
/ the free balance in the treasury. In
May and June of next year the prin-
cipal part of the income and inheri-
ance taxes will be paid but before
/ that time arrives, the balance in the
treasury, which is already as low as
it ought to be. will have disappeared
/
| funds are concerned, and it will be-
come necessary either to issue bonds
or certificates or Indebtedness of some
kind in order to carry on the govern
ment.
1.-THE situation for the next fiscal
year is even more discouraging The
| treasury balance will be over $780,
100000 less, unless money is obtain
ed by bonds, and with the expendi-
lures 100000 greater than the
receipts, there would be a deficit in
the treasury of over $1S5, 000,0 900,
even when the disbursing officers bal
ances are included
"In the meantime, the administra-
! ton is drifting, and we know not
whether additional taxes will be lev
i led or bonds issued, but one or the
other must be resorted to If the eX-
lpenditures are to be as described in
the secretarys report, and the indi-
cations are that they are more likely

farm LOAN BOARD HEARS
OF PROJECT CONDITIONS
Local Delegation Explains Needs of
Farmers For Assistance Under
Rural Credits Act.

The meeting of the Farm Loan
Board held at Reno on Tuesday,
September 18th. preliminary to the
establishment of the twelve Farm
Loan banks to be established in var
ious sections of the United States
under the provisions of the Rural
Credits Act recently passed by Con-
gress, was attended by a delegation
for the Truekee Carson project in
cluding Messrs. E. p. Osgood, F. II.
Sears and Bud Williams. appointed
by the local board of water users
and F. G. Hough, project manager
l-and |. H. Kent and A. l.. Haight.
The meeting was also attended by
delegations of farmers and interest
ed parties from other sections of the
State. The chairman of the Board
explained the workings of the act
and how its provisions would apply
to prospective borrowers. The Ne
yada meeting was called TO get an
expression of the needs of the farm
ers OF the State in an effort TO find
where these banks should be located
in the west to best serve the inter-
ests of the borrowers.
The Truekee-Ca Carson project is pc
culiarly interested in the new law
and stands in especial need of some
such assistance financially as is con-
templated to be relieved by this
legislation. Mr.. Kent was one of the
star witnesses before the meeting,
as in his long experience in a bust
ness way with the needs of the COM
munity he had been brought into a
! close understanding OF the situation
here from every standpoint. He ex-
planned the necessity for financial
relief by the homesteader who was
handicapped in his efforts to reclaim
his lack of capital, which the exist
ing conditions wherein the govern
ment's first lien on the lands pre-
cludes them from access to the bank
ing facilities that are open to other
forms of investments.
The other members of the delega-
ton from Fallon gave testimony
along the same lines and were in
formed by the Farm Loan Board
that the question would be left to
counsel, when If found necessary
Congress would be asked to make
changes in the reclamation act pro-
yiding for waiver of the water
lein.

ENGINEER ARRIVES HERE
TO SAMPLE TUCKER GROUP

J. H. Means, a mining engineer of
international reputation, was in
Fallon last week, coming here at
the instance of C. w. Kinney for
the purpose of examining the Dan
Tucker group of claims at Sand
Springs, which Mr.. Kinney has been
developing for several years past.
The party spent couple of days 60
ing over the property and taking
samples and returned to Fallon last
Friday.
Mr. Means is representing Sulli-
van & Co. of San Francisco. firm
which has promoted many leading
mining properties in the West and
the fact that they have considered
the Kinney property of sufficient
merit to warrant them in sending
one of their leading engineers is of
itself an evidence of merit. Natur-
ally, Mr.. Means would make no COM
ment on what he saw or any pre-
dictions as to the outcome of his in
vestigations, which will depend up
on the returns from the samples
taken.

of six feet and carries values that

ROY SIMPSON MANCLED
IN CONTACT WITH WIRE
Wire Stretched Across Road to Stop
Trespassers Causes Terrible
Injuries to Lad.

A young man named Roy Simp-
son. about II years of age, met with
a terrible accident last Tuesday
evening, that may result in the loss
of his left arm. He was riding in
from the Whitney ranch where he
had been employed, taking a cross
cut across lots on the east side of
Humboldt street. He had lost con-
troll of the horse he was riding and
the animal dashed along the road
which cuts across some lots belong
ing to Frank Margrave. The road
is not a thoroughfare but has been
used for a number of years as a
short cut until last Sunday when a
couple of wires were strung along
the west end of the lots, the rear
being left open and no barrier erect
ed across the trail to warn trespas-
sers that the road was closed. Young
Simpson came in from the east end
Vi tilt ut lit lHNlSlDA1 VI II Z
and was thrown from his horse and
dragged for some distance with his
foot in the stirrup. The wire cut
the main tendon that controls the
arm in the hollow of the elbow and
lacerated the arm in terrible man
ner
The lad managed to make his way
to the residence of j. c. Carter in
the neighborhood, although bleed
ing frightfully. Drs. Dempsey and
Lehners were called and administer
cd first aid. The young man was
then taken to the county hospital.
This morning he was reported as
resting easily and hopes are enter
tanned that the arm may be saved
This incident should serve as
warning to others that it is extreme
ly dangerous to thus close a used
roadway without erecting visible
barrier that will give warning that
it is private property and closed to
the use of the public.

A SOAP DISPLAY WORTH
MENTION.

The Commercial Soap Co.'S display
ct our State Fair was certainly
worthy of special mention. While
many of the inhabitants of Nevada
use the product, so few know that
they make a complete line of house
hold soaps A floating toilet soap
is late production of merit, besides
the making of yellow and white
laundry soap, they also produce
Naptha soap, borax chips and laun-
dry chips. Their strong hold with
Nevadans rests principally with the
fact of making their soap particu-
larly for this water and climate. "
They are now building a large ad
dition to their factory at Reno.
Mrs. N. e. Wilson, grand chief of
the Pythian Sisters paid Phoebe
Temple of this city an official visit

Wallace Wilkerson and John T.
Harrington, while en- route from
Goodsprings to Jean, met with an
accident that came near having a
fatal termination for both of them.
They were driving Ford across the

one OF the front tires flew off, caus-
ing the machine to turn over. The
machine was wrecked and both men
were knocked senseless. The acct
dent occurred about three miles from
Roach and Harrington was later
able to reach that station and sum
mon help. When found, Wilkerson
was unconscious and remained In
that condition for 36 hours. They
are both in Las Vegas hospital,
