COUNTY
/vERy VALUABLE
RECORDS

AS mentioned last week the new
map prepared at the order OF the
county commissioners by w. w
Coleman, the well-known civil en-
gineer, formerly :. resident of Mason
but now living at Carson City, was
delivered at the last meeting OF the
old board.
The map is bound in loose-leaf book
form, each leaf covering halt town
ship. 1t shows all real property
owned in the county, the data being
gathered by surveys and from the rec
ords of the United States land ONCE
and the State land Office at Carson
CITY so compiled as to show the
present ownership up to October, 1910
The work of abstracting the titles
necessary to make the map complete
revealed much real property that was
not disclosed by the records OF the
county and consequently was not on
the tax rolls. This will increase the
amount of taxable property in Lyon
county by many thousands OF dollors
As a record the map is valuable
asset TO the county, for the reason
that all railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone rights of way are accurately
shown. and the locations OF all
bridges. wood, corrugated pipe, ana
other constructed culverts are desig-
mated. and. inasmuch as the dimen-
sions of all bridges and culverts are
shown. much OF the work OF the COM
missioners can be eliminated by RET
erence to the map, avoiding the neces-
sity of going on the ground for per-
sonal inspection. From the map also
the Assessor can get the accurate
mileage of all rights of way and q
correct list'of all property ownership
which will make easier the avoidance
of errors in the listing of propert,
for thetax roll.
Mr.. Coleman. who has for years
been engaged. at various times, IN
making surveys in various parts OF
the county, has accumulated field
notes and other valuable data BY
which he saved the county several
thousand dollars that would havc
been. necessary to have acquired a.
.irst hand but Off the existence of his
private files. 1t is understood that
he is preparing a report to the county
commissioners that will suggest ant
recommend changes in the systems
employed in thedifferent Offices OF
county recorder and county assessor
with a view OF simplifying the &b-
stracting of property and avoiding
mistakes in the tax lists, which under
the present system are at times wholiy
unavoidable and not the fault of th'
officials.
The map is therefore of great value
not only to the taxpayers 1T large
but to each individual property owner
and to every investor in real estate
in the county, for it will assist in the
determining of titles and enable the
more acurate abstracting of the same
The late board of commissioners
showed their coed judgment wher
they directed the preoarstion OF the
work just finished and delivered. Its
value as a means OF reducing count,
expenses will become more and more
apparent as the number of holdings
increases and the prices of land ad-
vance

JOY HIGGINS TELLS
Of lRELAND'S HOPES
Proposal Of Lloyd George
Meets With Approval Of
Some of the Patriots
in Omaha.

"The proposal of Lloyd George for
a conference in the settlement of Ire
lands troubles is. the best thing on
top of the EARTH" declared Miss Joy
Higgins, granddaughter of fighting
Irish patriot and one of Omaha's best
informed on the Irish question.
"The spirit of freedom has been
alive so long in Ireland" she said,
"that it is to be hoped the ideal of
Lloyd George will be realized.
IF the great war accomplishes
nothing more than that, it will not
have been fought in vain. This is a
war for democracy, so Ireland surely
ought to gain its rights.
MANY persons have wrong idea
about the Irish and their loyalty.
They are loyal to the allies, and thou
sands of them are fighting on that
side in all the theaters of the war.
"England's diplomacy in Ireland for
generations has been to array the two
factions against each other, granting
privileges sometimes to one and not
to the other and thus keeping the
Irish people fighting among them
selves.
81 believe the factions can get to-
gether and come to an understanding
BY means of conference. Some OF
the questions could be left for settle
ment after the war. But start can be
made now"

War Time Economies Urged.

No one need accuse the fashionable
women of Omaha of failure to con-
serve food. Hear these practical sug-
gestions that come from our most
exclusive homes. The chairman of
the National League for Woman
Service vouches for these instances
of economy.
One OF the very wealthiest women
il Omaha gave orders in her house
hold that no one should be found
peeling potatoes while the war lasts.
The same woman suggested that in
writing letters on folded note paper,
unless the second sheet is actually
used, it be torn off and saved for
future use.
Another suggestion offered by
prominent woman is that a roast of
meat be reworked in such a way as
to serve sfor three or four meals in
stead of only one: Another says:
Save the water from your boiled
rice, it makes good starch" Aspara-
gus, tender and rich in favor, is be-
coming highly seasonable. This has
led another woman to tell her neigh
bors and friends to save for soup
water, usually drained off of aspar-
agus.
One of the league leaders says that
she has found upon personal inquiry
into prices and by her own tests that
the housewife who bakes her own
bread makes a profit of one-third the
amount spent for bread. For instance,
for every three l5-cent loaves of
bread that you buy, you can make
four loaves of the same size.
Another practical person suggests
that since the price of shampoos has
gone up in some places, it would be
a matter of economy to have the hair
washed at home. Water from your
cistern or rain barrel would be muck
better for their hair than the prepare
tons used at the hairdresser's.
Inducing men folks to eat some Of
the new-fangled dishes advocated by
food conservation experts is one of
the most important problems with
which we have to deal" This is an
interesting point women are discuss
ing, preliminary to the big meeting at
the Auditorium next week.
1--WE women will substitute the corn
products instead of wheat and will
try out all the new dishes advocated,
but the men in our families won't eat
them. There is some educational work
to be done there. too" remarked one
woman of experience.
