THIRTY SACKS IMPORTED

The Granery of the Gallagher Ran

len
The Borge brothers were in
town Friday and reported the
theft of thirty sacks of imported
barley seed. This seed was of a
very excellent quality, and i'm
ported especially for their use
1t was stored in a granery on the
Gallagher ranch. The thieves
broke into the granery and made
away with it leaving no sign OF
a trail. This looks like a pretty
brazen thing to do. 1t doesn't
seem possible that any one could
make off with thirty sacks of bar.
ley and not be seen. The nu-
merous thefts of this character 81
late should cause a concentrated
effort on the part of the farmers tc
apprehend the culprit. If nothing
IS done he or they might get some
thing more valuable next time and
you can't tell who's turn will be
next.

IL You Eel Off the Earth.

Aft,r you have learned that the
earth Is spinning through space like a
great top and that we are all living on
the outside Of this top you probably
wonder where we would all go II
we FELL off. The earth itself has enough
power of attraction TO keep everything
on its surface from falling OFF
Now, just imagine that this power OF
attraction stopped altogether, If that
happened and you were indoors your
head would hit the ceiling II you
were out OF doors you would GO
straight up into the sky for a long
time. and gradually you would begin
to move slower and slower and slower
for the resistance OF the air would re
tard you. At last you would come to
stop. and there you would stay And
very cold you would find IT.
If the air did not resist. with the
least little jump you would go sailing
of into space That Is the only way
you could fall off the earth. when the
earth's attraction stopped and wher
the air did not resist Exchange

DOUBLES ITS TAXES
BY TAKING APPEAL
POWER COMPANY LOSES ONE
POINT AND GIVES ANOTHER
WITHOUT PROFIT

Judge Harrington IN the United
States Federal court today handed
down his opinion in the tax cases of
the Nevada-C California Power COM
pany versus Nye and Esmeralda
counties. The court held that the
franchise elements of value of the
power company could not be assessed
in the manner attempted by the
tax commission; that this method in
effect was an attempt TO assess and
tax in Nevada property actually To-
Gated in California; that the company
had no plain, adequate remedy in the
state court and granted an injunction
pendente lite against the officials OF
Nye county and Esmeralda county
from collecting on any valuation in
excess of $1,492,OO0
The decision is against the taxing
officials upon the law question bu
upon the facts more than doubles the
taxes of the company. The tax com
mission assessed the power compan,
at S2.200,000 in both counties. Tn,
power company contended in the sui
that its assessment should have beer
$4,000 and rendered taxes on thii
basis and the court in effect fixes tn,
Valuation at s1,4s2 ,O00.-Carson Ap

DOG blAKER DIES

C.. E. Baker, the well known
freighter of Tonopah and Manhattan,
died last night at 6:15 O'Clock from
injuries sustained in railroad acct
dent yesterday afternoon, as de-
scribed in yesterdays Bonanza. The
body was brought to Tonopah on this
mornings train.
From accounts of eye witnesses 1t
appears that the deceased had gone
across town to the hotel for his
dinner and was returning. He had
to cross the railroad tracks while a
terrific sandstone was blowing and
| the noise and confusion is supposed
| to have prevented Baker from OBJ
serving the approach of the train OF
hearing the whistle, especially since
he was afflicted with a sever deaf
ness. Before the old man knew of his
danger train No. 20, the passenger
that left Tonopah yesterday morning
was on him and escape was impos.
sible. The pilot caught Baker on
the right shoulder ana threw him a
distance of fifteen feet. The right
arm was broken in two places, the
right leg was fractured in several
places, the jaw smashed and the

for the aged victim. He was found
conscious but suffering excrueiatint

Mr.. Baker was over 60 years o.

Fortunes In Paintings.

It is we'll known that shopkeepers
make pounds by ignoring farthings, or
by giving something for them that
is worth far less than farthing; but
where shopkeepers make the pounds,
banks and the English government
make their hundreds Of pounds. &C
cording to a writer in Pearson's. If a
farthing is due from you in taxes. you
are charged Id. On the other hand,
you are never paid Id for farthing.
The same principle Is applied to
fractions of pounds. Banks in reck-
oning interest for themselves call any
part of Ell full pound, whereas in
reckoning interest for you odd shil-
lings are left out Of account. Thus
for a deposit of e99 9s lid you would
receive interest on f99 only.
1t is amazing how the state profits
by not paying fractions Of pence.
The government has a special fund
in which are placed the fractions of
pence withheld in paying dividends on
government stock. This fund amount
ed to more than G150,000 in ten years
before being used for other purposes
! AS far as the government Is con
cerned, farthings mean a lot.
