LARGE INHERITANCE TAX
FROM THE MILLER tSTAIt

The Nevada wool clip this coming
spring is destined to be the most
valuable in the history of the State
II will probably not be the largest
but the net profit from IL will be far
in excess of any other year, according
TO sheepmen who have kept a close
watch on the situation, says the Keno
Gazette.
Fifty-cent wool is looked forward
to by wool buyers and sheep owners
and at the present time the spring
clip in California is selling around
forty cents and is shipped as fast as
it is clipped.
Humphrey & Moffat of the Union
Land & Cattle Company and the Union
Wool Company refused to sell their
option on the spring clip in certain
Nevada districts for a cash oner Oh
5000 900. according TO reports given
out by wool buyers in San Francisco
Humphrey & Moffat took an option
early last fall for about 2,ooo'ooo
mounds of wool at prices ranging from
twenty-five to twenty-eight cents per
Mound. il is understood. which means
an outlay of more than $500,O0O when
the clip is in. If the price remains
around fifty cents. the two men STAND
a chance to make around s4O0'OOo on
their option on wool alone
The same company secured an op-
tion on unborn lambs during the wil-
fer at an average of IS head for on
estimated 100000 head of lambs. On
this deal it has been figured the com
pany will make net gain OF more
than 40 per cent, judging from the
present high prices of sheep.
Dealers in wool and sheep on 'he
Coast are pointing TO Humphrey q
Moffat with considerable pride ana
giving them credit for figuring OUT tne
great decline in the produeuoh oi
American wool during the past ten
wears. 1t is estimated that there are
AZ least 100000 sheep less IN TINS
country now than there were ten
wears ago. and the embargo placed
by England on export wool from Aus.

WASHOE COUNTY INDIANS
WILL BE GIVEN HOMES

Through the efforts of the Nevada
Indian Association and the officers
of the Indian Agency in Nevada, the
homeless Indians living around Reno
will soon be furnished with homes
and small plot of ground on which
they can raise enough vegetables for
their families.
L. A. Dorrington, who replaced c.
H. Asbury as Indian agent in charge
of the Ninth district, stated today that
an option had been secured on some
land near Reno which will be turned
over to the Indians as soon as the
papers are approved at Washington.
1t is expected that this will be done
within the next month or six weeks
and then definite plans for caring for
the non-reservation tribes and the
wandering Indians will be worked
out, says the Gazette.
The plan in general is to provide a
home for all Indians with families
and to remove them from the present
camps and loafing places to a place
where they can be cared for and VIII
be in a position to work for them
selves.
The same plan is being worked out
in other sections of the State and all
Indians will be provided with homes.

WHERE HAS HERD
OF CAMELS GONE?

William Epler, pioneer of Humboldt
county and early-day county surveyor,
in letter to the Tonopah Times gives
an interesting account of the use of
camels in Nevada for freighting pur-
poses. The letter follows:
Lake Charles, Louisiana.-In the is
sue of the Tonopah Times of January
z, this inuqiry was made: what has
become of the old-time prospector
who showed up every now and then
with a tale of having seen a herd of
camels on the desert?"
Maybe you think there never was a
herd of camels on the desert. In 1865
l surveyed the fourth standard paral-
lei, extending from the big bend of
Truckee Cwadsworth) $50 miles east.
On returning, when about ten or IF
teen miles above Saltwater, we passed
a herd of camels quietly feeding
among the willows along the river.
There were fifteen or twenty of them,
of all ages and sizes.

ing that he saw Crane hand Dunbar
a roll of bills, but did not know the
amount.
After the noon recess today Presi-
dent Crane was recalled to the stand
for a few minutes, after which the

Attorney Robins then made a mo-
ton that the jury be instructed by
the court to bring In verdict of ac-

during argument on the motion. The
motion was overruled by Judge Duck

Attorney Robins then opened for
the defense. stating that defendant
met President Crane in Reno. where
the latter had tried and failed to or
ganize a life insurance company, and
that Crane made him a proposition

entitled to commissions OF $4,000, but
as a matter of fact had received less
than $500. the company still owing
him the balance. The jury was

something said to the effect that de-

commissions in cash on the amounts

VOTED GRAVEYARD
AT THE PRIMARIES

In discussing the primary bill, the
Carson City correspondent OF the
Tonopah Times perpetrates the fol-
lowing:
In the old days when Sharon was
United States Senator it was the
regular thing to vote almost the en-
tire graveyard of Virginia City at the
primaries.
There was never any particular
objection raised, in fact, until Billy
Sharon, who was the nephew of his
uncle, attempted to vote the shades
of old-line Democrats at the Repub-
lican primaries. The people who
kicked at this claimed that party
lines should be observed in every we'll
conducted graveyard and proper def
erence paid the ethics of pure politics
The best authorities on the subject
held that a dead mans vote should
follow the flag of his partisanship IN
a primary election, but that in a gen.
eral election the first side that landed
his vote was entitled to IT under the
unwritten law.
Warren Sheridan never failed 20
vote Matt Canavan's name at the
Democratic primaries up to as late
as 1898. and when he deposited the
ballot those in the immediate vicinity
uncovered their heads out of respect
for the old warhorse of Democracy.
1t was simply regarded as sprig
thrown upon his grave to keep his
memory green.
In 1888 a dispute arose over the
right of the Republicans to vote the
entire graveyard at the primaries. 1t
was held that after souls had lived in
the purer atmosphere of higher ex-
istence for ten years they had put
aside the robes of sin and. with the
change of raiment, so to speak, would
naturally become progressive Demo-
Gratis.
The Republicans however. refused
to give up the cemetery on the ground
that the Federal mining law gave
them the rights through priority of
location: and as there was no claim
that they had ever failed in perform
ing the assessment work the contro-
versy was dropped.
In this connection I vividly recall
the stirring lines of Jim Townsend.
local poet of the Ledge in those
days;
To a COmstock Graveyard
I know a graveyard bleak and bar
rem
Where lie the friends of William
Sharon.
Who. although dead and maybe
burning.
Are often from the shades return
ing,
And just at dawn those sons Of
witches
Rise from their graves without their
breeches,
ITp at the beck and call of Billy,
To knock the opposition silly;
Bereft of party ties and collars,
Still swapping votes for twenty
dollars,
Dead. deeomposed and gone TO
glory
God bles the graveyard vote of
