Dear Mamma and Sister:
Here I am once more and still fine
as can be. Yes [ bet they had some
time at home when the Huns Quit.
Yesterday was Thanksgiving day
and we had steak and brown gravy,
mashed potatoes, bread pudding and
bread. I wondered what you folks had
but I could almost guess and know
it was good.
I have been taking in some of the
old battle field sights the last few
days and have seen some great sights.
the most interesting is what IS known
as Dead Mans Hill. t is just out Of
ST. Mihiel to the south and west 1t
Is the hill the Yanlzs took some two
or three months ago. It has been in
German hands for four years and
at that time the French tried to take
the hill and there were four hundred
French killed and captured there and
their bones were just buried few
days ago, the French could not
get to them and the Huns would not
bury them. It was some sight and
there are line of them, I should say
about five hundred yards long where
there are bones and their equipTn ent
just as they fell but OF course they
have decayed laying there so long.
The Yanks took the Hill easy We
were in reserve behind the boys when
they made this drive and as they did
not need US we went up and took
the Argonne woods and several little
towns which French said could not
be taken. Well, it was little rough
but went through fine without
very heavy loss. I Will not try to tell
the details OF our drive as I want
som ething to tell when 1 come home
But [ will say if we had trenches like
the Huns had they could never drive
US a foot. They sure had things fine,
their trenches were all laid uD with
brick and their dugouts back of the
front line are sure keen. Good beds
and fine big chairs, side walks run
ming from one to another, lace cur
tains, carpets on the floor and even
flower gardens ard pots for vines
with stringers to climb over the win
dOws- They were sure living until the
Yanks took turn at them.
do not know when we viii get
home but sure look to the time to
come when we walk the gang plank
again and then when we reach U. S.
soil, but most of all when we reach
home.
Well I suppose this is about all fo,
this time so be good and write me
soon. IF we have to go Germany we
Will be here for some time yet
With love,

CARSON CITY AND THE
CAPITAL BUILDING PROJECTS

The frantic efforts of Ormsby coun-
tvs senator to jam through n ap-
preparation bill after another in an
effort to everlastingly nail the state
capital in his home town has APP
parently blinded his senatorial eyes to
the fact that it is just such tactics as
these that have brought sporadic an
tagonism from other sections of the
state against Carson City as the seat
of the state government.
Apparently some good people at
Carson City are likewise unaware
a vast majority OF Nevada people.
residents of Reno included, are well
satisfied for the capital to remain
where it is now located. Let this also
be stated-Reno doesn't want to be
the capital. She prefers to remain a
commercial, residential and educa-
tional center. She would rather let
the capital remain where it is than TO
bring it, with it's political meddling,
into a community that is highly pros
porous and concerned with its own
affairs.
Carson and her busy senator should
calm themselves. They are not goins
to lose the capital. They should also
as a matter of common sense, STOP
introducing long rows of appropria-
ton bills for capitol repairs. capitol
extensions. capitol remodelings, CAPT
toll annexes and heroes monuments
all intended so to increase the states
investments at Carson that removal
will be costly d settle down to this
fact:
That instead of making an archi-
tectural crazy-quilt in their beautiful
little city, it would be far better to LEI
construction stand as it is now unit
| the state can afford to build a splen.
| did capitol that we would all be proud
of-located in Carson City.
If they do that they will be playing
a game that will appeal to the sober
sense of TIE people of Nevada.-[Reno

ONE MORE WEEK
FOR TAX RETURNS
Lest we forget!"

Lest we forget"
Saturday, March Is, 1919, is the
final day allowed under the new Fed
eral income tax law for filing income
tax and profits returns, and to pay at
least one-fourth of the tax due. 1t is
estimated that there are, in the dis
trict including forty-eight counties in
northern California and the State of
Nevada, 100000 persons who are af-
fected by the individual income re-
q~uirements of the new law. 1t is an
nounced that less than one-third Of
these individuals have filed their re-
turns.
With but one week until the final
day of reckoning, March Is, income
returns must be made at a high rate
of speed. Failure to meet income tax
requirements within the allotted time
penalties, fines and imprison-
ment, or both. The responsibility for
making income tax returns rests on
all unmarried individuals whose net
income for 1918 was $1,000, and all
married men whose income was $4,000
or more. The government, it is de-
clared, will be alert for evaders.

DEATH VALLEY HAS
MOVIES ON SUNDAY

Probably the most desolate movie
theatre in the country Is situated in
Death Valley, where a seven-reel
show is given every Sunday night for
the benefit of employees of the Pacific
Coast Borax Company, founded by
Frank Smith, the borax king. The
company has IT'S men on the payroll
at this remote and forbidding outpost
of civilization. and every effort is
made by the management to keep the
men satisfied with their jobs. as 1t
is not an easy thing to replace those
who leave with others who are not
acclimated to the intense heat Of this
submarine station in the center of the
most dreary section of the Western
continent.
The entertainment is free, and none
but the best and latest films are sane
toned by the management, including
plenty OF "funnies" to keep the audi
in good humor. The tin box of
arrives from the Coast every
Saturday at noon when the ore train
comes down from the mine and un-
loads its hopper cars at the crusher
situated at Death Valley Junction.
The entire train is emptied of its con-
tents and then the diminutive locomo-
tive reverses its position and starts
back on the heart-breaking trip way

range. where Il may b sesa Winding

LIVE COYOTES OFFERED FOR
SALE BY TWO LADY TRAPPERS

Live coyotes to be used In the pro-
duction of Nevada" have been Of
fered William ]. Otis, the movie mag
nate, who has taken the offer under
advisement. The introduction of the
pests in a hunting scene Is suggested
and it is believed that the company
will not overlook the chance to in
ject a colorful sketch calling for three
coyotes in n of the scenes filmed
around Tonopah. Mr.. Otis says the
idea is excellent and one which, he
believes, may be utilized in present
ing coyboy sports in which the ami
mails will be trailed over the hills and
then shot down by skilled marksmen
stationed behind rocks.
The idea originated with Mrs. o. w.
Newman and Miss A. Schneider, who
have been operating in Mineral and
Esmeralda counties for some time.
The ladies write: I'VE are govern
ment trappers, and as we have a few
coyotes alive at present, would gladly
keep them IL you desire to use them"
The feminine trappers have been in
the business for years and make a
handsome income from their OPERA
tons. They travel in a flivver and
work in a prescribed area. They carry
their W camping outfit and are per-
fectly at home by themselves wher-
ever their iivver stops for the night.
They are superior TO the hotel habit
and enjoy the wild career they have
adopted--(Tonopah Bonanza.
