The new war taxes on passenger
tickets, pullman tickets and freight
shipments will mean a large amount
of extra accounting work for the tick
ct agents of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn.
According to the records fthe I'm
ion Pacific for the calendar year Of
1916, there were 8,O19,647 revenue
passengers carried who paid all told
for their transportation $1s,7s1 40.
On this basis an per cent tax which
will have to be collected by the rail-
road and turned over to the govern
ment, will amount to 81 ,5s2 ,49S, or an
average of 1877 cents per passenger.
The total revenue collected by TIE
Union Pacific for freight during The
calendar year 1916 was $s1 ,4151SS.
This covers both carload and less than
carload traffic. The 8 per cent tax
which is to be collected by the rail
roads and turned over to the govern
ment on this basis would amount to
$2,442,475.
This will mean that something be-
tween ten or twelve million separate
items will have to be taken care Of
by Union Pacific employees in col
lecting this government tax, which on
the basis of passenger and freight
business during the year 1916 will
amount to $4,O24,973 to passenIers
and shippers.

FIRE AT MINDEN
DOES LIGHT
DAMAGE

Tuesday afternoon Henry Beck dis
covered fire eating its way into a
$4,000 pile of binding twine stored in
the Dangberg warehouse and owned
by the Farmers Cooperative Mercan-
tile company of Minden. He gave the
alarm and a hose from the town
water system was soon playing on the
flames. The warehouse filled with
smoke and an alarm was sent to
Gardnerville and the fire apparatus
was soon being rushed to Minden in
back of automobiles. The road be-
tween the two towns was jammed
with autos loaded with men ready to
give assistance. However. the fire
fighters of Minden, were able to cope
with the fire and had it under con-
troll before the Gardnerville fire
company arrived.
Had the fire not been discovered be-
fore headway had been gained. the
twine and other combussable mater
ial in the warehouse would have
been a total loss.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and since the WAREHOUSE is built of
concrete, with plenty of ventilation,
spontaneous combustion is not likely.
The loss to the Farmers Coopera-
tive Mercantile company is in the
neighborhood of $500.
This is the first fire that has taken
place at Minden since the town came
into existence.

SUNDAY WAS
FIRST DRY DAY

The six o'clock closing ordinance
of the Douglas County Liquor Board
went into effect Sunday evening and
the town was as dry as a sun baked
desert. 1t may also be added that for
time the town was also as dark as
Washoe belle, the street lights hay-
ing been turned off. They were on
and off and finally the lights were al
lowed to shine as usual.
While the closing of the doors of the
saloons at six o'clock, men had no
place to lounge, consequently the
sidewalks were crowded, giving the
appearance of a celebration of some
sort. A stranger, with slight load,
inquired as to what prominet citizen
mad cashed in his checks, not know
ing that Gardnerville had just be-
came a semi-prohibition town.
Although the Liquor board has
amended the ordinance, making the
hour of closing saloons at 10 y. m. on
each and every night instead of II
o'clock on week nights and s o'clock
ON Sundays, the ordnace now in eff
feet, will be law until the 3rd day of

duction this year the department OF
agriculture announced that July 1st

IN FAVOR OF
NEW PIPE LINE

X. l.. Lowery, assistant engineer
for the Board of Underwriters of the
Pacific, was In Gardneryile Tuesday
for the purpose OF looking over the
proposed water system as well as the
general conditions of the town in
order to arrive at a conclusion as to
the exact reduction of insurance
rates that may be expected when the
system is installed. After looking
over the ground and getting figures
as to the fall, etc between the dam

himself as being heartily in accord
with the program and further stated
town have to receive reduction in
present insurance rates, is through
the installation OF such a system
built to carry certain pressure as
is required by the UNDERWRITERS The
Underwriters, according to Mr.. Rowley
do not recognize the system now in
used here, meaning the fire engine
and hydrants. Nearly all big fires
come during the winter months, and
at time when running water is
frozen over, thus the present equip
ment is not considered, although it
may be the means of saving build
ing from being destroyed by fire.
He advised against the purchase of
motor fire engine, since the source
of water supply from cisterns is un-
certain and not sufficient to supply
such a pump. We're the water sup
ply sufficient to supply motor
pump, the apparatus would necessar-
lily need be manned by a paid depart
ment to receive recognition by the

DECREASE IN
PORK SUPPLY

The supply of hogs during the past
ten days has shown a slight decrease,
according to the weekly market let
ter of the Nevada Packing Company.
Tile quality has not been quite as
good as previously received with
corresponding reduction in values.
THE wool market continues to be
strong" says the letter, with higher
tendencies, although there is consid-
cradle uncertainty as to the future.
1T is the consesus of opinion
among the conservative operators
that prices at the present time are
too high and that it would not take
much to start very severe reaction
in values.
Business has been draggy and
sales very light, owing to uncertain
ity as to government action in fixing
prices also negotiations with Great
Britain to secure Australian wools for
uniform purposes. The quietness In
the market may also be attributed
partially to the present high prices,
mills being slow to take hold, feeling
that most anything might happen to
cause lower values.

Of
v. {. MENzEL
SUNDAY

Nevada has had up to date only two
resident Lutheran pastors. The two
men who have represented Lutheran
Church work in Nevada for the past
ten years are Rev. Frances E. Mar
tens at Reno and Rev Frederick H.
Menzel at Gardnerville. Besides at
tending to their own charges they
have given over considerable time to
missionary work outside of their
congregational labors. Rev. Martens
has established missionary stations
at Winnemucca, Fallon, Hazen,
Sparks, and Rev Menzel has given
quite little spiritual attention to
Carson City. Tonopah and Goldfield.

underwriters. Thus 1t is plain that
II the citizens of Gardneryille ever
expect to get reduction in the pres
ent high fire insurance rates, IL must
be done through the installation of
water system of known source, such
as is contemplated.
In his possession Mr.. Rowley' had
communications from the Douglas
County Farmers Bank, and dating
back fifteen years, where they had
urged the underwriters to make a re-
duction in fire insurance rates. His
visit to Gardnerville was brought
about by these letters end he will
soon make recommendation as the
requirements demanded by the under
writer's regarding a water system and
just what reduction may be expected
through the installation of a water
system.
In his Investigations about town he
found where ashes had been dumped
INTO a box against an out building
and other fire dangers, but as "a whole
found the town to be in good condi-
ton. These instances, he said should
be controlled through the fire depart
nient, or local laws.
Mr.. Rowley could not conceive how
any oposition could be put up against
tile proposed water system for fire
protection. and cited that several Ne
yada towns, hap piped water for 40
miles and over, while here but six
miles of pipe will be required BY
extending the bond ovxer a period of
years, no one would fell the expense,
and the benefits derived would be
of incalcuable assistance to the town.

AUCTION SALE
At HELbERG'S

A. w. II. Helberg has decided to
close out his stock of watches, dia-
monds clocks and jewelry at auction
sale and has secured the services of
T. Mcdonald, an auctioneer to con-
duct the sale. The auction will
start tomorrow at 80 p. m and will
continue every afternoon and evening
until the stock is completely sold.
No restrictions are to be placed on
the stock and everything is to be
sold under the hammer to the highest
bidder.
In speaking of the sale Mr.. Hell
berg stated that he has been desirous
oil disposing of his jewelry business
for some time and in order to devote
his entire time and attention to the
automobile business, decided to hold
an auction sale. He realizes that
an auction means that those who buy
pay their own price regardless of
what the article costs, but is willing
to sacrifice everything in the store in
order to close out.
This sale will give the people of
Carson Valley a chance of a lifetime
to secure goods at price far below
the wholesale cost Attend the sale

goods are to be sold
