An idea of the intensity of the struggle now going on the Marne salient and the bravery of the American troops in the thick of these series of battles may be gained from the story a special correspondent tells of one company of fifty American soldiers sent forward to engage the German picked troops near Sergy, the town that the Tanks took nine times before they finally sue ceeded in holding against the Hun. This company advanced and captured the posi- ton assigned. Then it suffered counter attack by overwhelming numbers. Heavy artillery played upon the devoted band. The officers were killed, one after the other, until all were down. Then the men re- maining elected their own leaders and fought on and held tight. When relief reached them at last only two men out ot the fifty remained on foot but they still held that immortal village street.

The morale of the German army may be getting low right now but the kaiser is as strong on morale as ever, else he could never have had the brazen nerve to write q letter to that German mother who had lost all nine of her sons in the war. The kaiser has six sons and they are all very well, thank you.

GEO. DOBBS RETURNS FROM
THE BAY CITY WITH BRIDE

George Dobbs our popular conduc-
tor who has been absent from his
accustomed run for week, surpris-
ed a very few of his friends when he
returned to Hazen last Monday ac-
companied by his bride.
His frequent trips to the bay city
we're thus accounted for and the
couple have been kept busy since
their return responding to the num-
erous congratulations showered up
on them.
The wedding occurred last Thurs
day In San Francisco where the
bride and groom have an extended
acquaintance.
The bride who was formerly Mrs.
Blanche Duffy, is well kown In Ha-
zen where she spent some time prior
to taking a course In the nurses
training school in Ookland.
The one adornment which the at
tractive home of the groom has lack
ed has now been added, and the
couple will undoubtedly be the mo-
tit for many receptions In the near
future.

DAYLIGHT SAVING LAW WILL
Be IN EFFECT next MONDAY
Hands of Clocks to be Advanced
One Hour. Commercial
Bodies Endorse Change

Next Monday. April l, will occur
throughout the entire country a
mild revolution the unusual feature
of which will be that it has the en-
dorsement of the President and both
houses of congress.
The feature OF this Is that by the
simple process of moving the hands
of the clock forward one hour the
country will undertake its share in
the Day Light Bill recently passed
by Congress and signed by the pres
ident
The bill had previously received
the endorsement of numerous COM
mercial bodies and had been recon-
mended as most beneficial measure
by England where a similar plan had
been in operation for some time and
was universally approved.
Among the objects to be obtained
according to the sponsors for the bill
and embodied in a report made by
a SptCldl tOHlulltct lIOHi tHt DOStol
Chamber of Commerce, are, one
hour or more for outdoor recreation.
Working mothers and fathers OBJ
tain an extra hour for outdoor play
with their children an immense
force for health and moral well be-
ing.
One hour less for bad lights. and
lessened eye strain for workers and
school children due to the use of ar
tificial light.
Working girls will be on the way
home in daylight, smaller risk of
accident in industrial establishments
and lessened risk of accident due to
transportation and traffic conditions
because the afternoon rush will fall
in daylight instead of dark
Summing up the entire matter the
change is largely imaginative as our
daily routine is governed by the
clock rather than by the sun and a
few days will complete the adjust
ment to the new order of things.

EXPERIENCED OIL DR|LLER
INSPECTS COMpANY'S LANDS
Confirms Belief That All Recognized
Geological Conditions Are
Present I'm Sequence

Manager w. NJ. McCaffrey of the
Nevada Salt Basin Dome Oil Co, re-
Gently organized here, came down
from Reno last Saturday accompan-
led by Z. W. Clark, an experienced
oil we'll driller and, in company with
several interested parties, visited the
holdings of the company near Salt
Wells on Sunday.
The object of the survey was 10
reflect tentative spot for the begin
ming of operations and to permit M.
Clark, who will undertake the drill
Ing, TO get an idea of the character
of the formation. Mr.. Clark nov
has a well drilling outfit few miles
north of Reno, where he has been
boring for water and this plant will
be removed to the oil company's es
tate in the near future. While no
definite point was fixed for the loea-
tion of the bore, which will be large
ly governed by accessibility to trans
portation in a section devoid CT
roads, Mr.. Clark, who has had wide
experience in oil drilling, expressed
the belief that oil exists on the lands
of the company ard that he would
not be surprised II tangible evidence
of ii would be disclosed at even less
than two hundred feet, although
probably not in commercial quanti-
ties. AS the primary object of the
company is to establish the question
of the existence of oil, no great i'm
portance is attached to the location
of the first bore. as the experience in
other fields has been that at best
the drilling of a producing well IS
largely a matter of chance. at least
until the field has been more or less
defined and prospected.
Mr.. Clark confirmed the judgment
of the loeators of the property that
the geological conditions we're fay-
orable and In the regular sequence
that have come to be regarded as
characteristic of all proven oil fields.
The promoters of the company
make no claim that there are other
evidences of oil in the section other
than those expressed in geological
conditions and the presence OF oil
shale both on the lands and in the
entire district as far as East Gate.
Were 1t otherwise the stock would
not be offered at Is cents per share
and the proposition would be taken
out of the realms of speculation.

investment.

ARGUMENTS IN FEDERAL
COURT ON TAX REBATE
81 ,443.0S of Total Amount Releas-
ed and Paid to Churchill County
Treasurer

AS a partial result of the visit to
ney Geo. j. Kenny and a number of
witnesses who appeared in the fed
eral court In connection with the
suit of the Central Pacific Company
against the County of Churchill for
rebate of taxes. the district attorney
deposited with the county treasurer
check for $21, ,444.08.
This sum has been held in escrow
by the federal court while this suit
was pending and although the decis-
ion of the court has not yet been
rendered the court by consent of the
S. p. Co. released the above sum. it
being expressly understood that this
payment in no wise impairs the
rights of the county in the suit now
pending.
The case which is now near a set
tlement is in relation to assessments
on patented and unpatented lands
covering a period of several years
and which the S. p. Co. contends
we're placed at too high a valuation,
and on these grounds the payments
were made under protest.
The total amount involved is ap-
proximately $4,000.
At the hearing last week before
Judge Harrington the attorAey-gen-
eraI called the courts attention to a
statute which provides that in such
cases unless 1t is shown by evidence
that fraud was practiced in levying
the assessment or that the method
of computing the valuation was IL
legal, the court is without power to
disturb them.
Counsel for the railroad company
then asked permission to reopen the
aase and introduce additional testi-
mony. The motion was not opposed
by the Encouragement and was
granted
Under the terms of the stipulation.
in the event that the court holds that
the assessments made by the Church
III county assessor are valid the COM
pany will pay the balance of the tax
es amounting to $4,000. If how
ever the contention of the railroad
company is sustained the suit will be
terminated.
