Delaware Needs A Regiment

With the announcement that the
Delaware Militia will be called
into the Federal service on July
25 efforts, no doubt, will be in
creased to secure recruits for the
two battalions which are short by
1872 men of regulation war
strength. 1t is urged that third
battalion be formed so as to give
the State full regiment of the
National Guard. Delawareans
subject to the coming draft, it is
also urged, should prefer volun-
tary service in the home companies
to uncertain assignments after sell
ection under the draft.

POPULAR PRIEST TO
LEAVE WINNEMUCCA

Father p E. Meehan of st. Paul's
Catholic church has been transferred
from this diocese to the parish at
sparks in the place of Father T. w.
.iorgan, who will be located at Wood
and, Cal. These changes are promo
lions made by Bishop Grace while
these popular priests were at the Cath
olic retreat near Grass Valley, Cal,
asst Thursday. Father Meehan re-
-urned from there on No. 20 yesterday
morning. He states that he will de-
liver his farewell sermon next Sunday
morning at 10:30 o'clock.
Father Meehan has been in this par
ish for twelve years and during his
long stay here has made a great many
friends. both among his own parision-
ers and the people of this community
and Humboldt county in general who
will regret to hear of his going away.
He states, however. that he is not
going far away and that he will be a
frequent visitor to Winnemucca.
Father Meehan, with Father Horgan
of Sparks and Father Gilmartin of
Sonora, Cal, were ordained to the
priesthood in June, 1901.

ASSESSMENT OF CATTLE is
LIKELY TO BE INCREASED

The state board of equalization, in
session at Carson, has fixed the valu-
ations of meadow and pasture lands as
follows:
First class meadow, s4S per acre;
second class. $32 third class, $25:
fourth class, $3.50. The pasture land
values agreed upon are: First class.
$40; second class, SIS; third class,
$3.50; fourth class, $3.50.
1t was shown that the proposed plan
for the assessment OF lands in the
state. cultivated. EaSadow. pasture and
grazing. leaving mountain, arabic, spe-
cial and vegetable and orchard as the
same apepars on the tax rolls, would
result in net increase of $1,544,830.
The assessment valuation of cattle
for the year 1917 per head was placed
at s36. This is an increase of 81.
The assessed valuation of sheep was
placed at So per head for the year 1917.
While the tax commission has fixed
valuation of $50 head on the cat
tie of Nevada for assessment purposes
there is probability that 1t will be
still further increased before the COM
mission adjourns. Livestock dealers
are netting approximately twice that
amount from present sales, and ac-
cording to market conditions the price
is more apt to increase than decrease.
In view of the fact that real estate Is
now being appraised at much higher
proportion of its actual value. and
that general increasee in appraise-
ments are being made upon practi-
cally all other classes of property,
there is a strong demand that live
stock interests should bear proper
ton of the increase.

MANY OUTBREAKS OF FOREST
FIRES DURING LAST FEW DAYS

With the most serious fire situation
in a number of years threating mil
lions of feet of Western timber. 1t has
been necessary for the Forest Service
to suspend some of it's operations N
order to concentrate all available
forces in fighting forest fires. Re-
ports indicate that the situation IS
more dangerous than at any time
this year. The reports state that in
many places little or no rain has fall
len for weeks. The forests are now SO
dry that any fire which occurs is apt
to become a dangerous confiagration,
while high winds make it difficult to
control even the smallest blaze.
In spite of the unusually dangerous
season, it is stated that until last
week there has been comparatively
small loss of timber on national for
ests, private owners having suffered
most OF the damage. This is largely
explained as due to the increased eff
cheney OF the fire-fghting force, which
has profited by lessons of the past
year. In many cases, too. luck has
been on the side of the rangers n
handling particularly dangerous fires.
The outbreak of fires in the past few
days is taken by officials to indicate
that the situation is growing more
serious.
The whole organization of the Fur
est Service in the affected districts is
devoting itself exclusively to fire.
fighting. In accordance with pre-
arranged plan. men from forests
where there are no fires are relieving
rangers who have been worn out by
their long exertions. While 1t may be
possible to hold the damage to mini
mum by these and other methods, OFF,
cials say that nto until the fall rains
come will the danger cease.

GERMANY FACING
MONEY SHORTAGE

WASHINGTON, September 1S.-In-
formation regarded as highly signifi-
cant has come to Washington from
New York financial circles relating to
a forthcoming new loan in Germany.
1t is understood in New York that the
loan is to be demanded of the German
people next month. The feature of
this event which bankers consider -
be especially interesting is that it will
be the last loan the imperial govern
ment can expect from the people of
Germany. and that If they meet the
they will be giving the last of their
resources and what meager savings
they may have left.
So the bankers, and members nf
Congress also who have learned Of
this situation, are asking, After that,
what will happen?"
1t is recalled that in the summer
months all gold jewelry in Germany
passed into the melting pot for public
use. More recently demands have been
made upon Switzerland for a loan,
Westphalian coal being the pawn.
Reports continue to show also a
steady decline in the gold reserve of
Germany. and commercial interests
that still maintain trade relations with
surrounding neutrals are hard pressed
in their exchange methods.
The foregoing information has been
seized upon by many here as pointing
to sudden collapse of the machine of
the Central Powers, possibly during
the winter. when in addition to the
bankruptcy of the government itself,
the civilian population viii feel the
pinch of privation more keenly than
at any time thus far in the war. One
observer of international affairs, who
was asked his opinion, said:
when you ask me what I can sec
beyond this loan, which is Germany'F
last, | will say l can plainly see the
last ditch"
