the fine successes Of her brilliant ca
reer upon the screen in THE Peace
Of Roaring River" the chief feature
of the photoplay bill at CrandalTs
Metropolitan Theater through We'd

1.-THE Peace of Roaring River" Wis
ualizes a story of unusual conception.
Through the deception of a wildly
jealous postmistress in q small West
ern town, a poverty-stricken work
ing girl Is lured from the city to the
rugged hill country, ostensibly to be-
come the wife of a hillman, who. to
all appearances, has carried on a sim
cere courtship through the medium
of a matrimonial weekly. Upon her
arrival at the home OF her supposedly
betrothed, Madge Nelson finds herself
in the embarrassing position of a
total unexpected stranger. Not sens
ing the real reason of the misunder-
standing, she wounds her host, Hugo
Ennis, whose attitude reveals on his
part a complete ignorance OF the
girls purpose. From this preliminary
situation is evolved one Of the most
absorbing photodramas Of the year.
The supplementary feature is fur
nished by Smiling" Billy Parsons
and a clever supporting cast in q
sparkling two-reel comedy. They're
on" Exceptionally agreeable orches-
trail accompaniment is featured by a
special overture consisting OF selec-
tions from La, La, Lucille"

TAX COMMISSION TO
RESUME ON MONDAY

Since the announcement, Saturday,
in The Silver State, of the calling of
a meeting of the Nevada tax commits
sion, to be held at Carson City COM
mencing next Monday. several in
teresting facts have been brought out.
The secretary of the commission
has. according to the Carson City
News, notified parties wishing to ap-
pear before the commission in an
effort to secure reductions of the val
uations fixed by the assessors and
by the state board of equalization.
The commission will meet as a
final board of equalization, and as
such will pass upon all valuations
heretofore fixed on the various
classes of property for the year 1919.
The members. acting as board, will
also determine the 1919 assessed
valuations of the public utilities of
the state.
To date, requests for hearings have
been made by the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, the Virginia &
Truckee Railroad, the Bullfrog and
Goldfield Railroad, the Utah-Nevada
and Idaho Telephone Company, the
Bell Telephone Company of Nevada
and the Mine Operators Association.
Several individual taxpayers have
also given notice of a desire to be
heard concerning the assessments of
their property.
Under the provisions of the law
any owner of land that was raised
in valuation by the state board of
equalization, has the right to have the
figures reviewed by the tax commits
sion. This means that for the year
1919 every land owner of the state
with the possible exception of those
in Eureka county, have the right OF
appeal to and review by the tax COM
mission.
1t has been anticipated in some
quarters that large land interests
would probobly apply for hearings
but so far there have been no dc
velopments along that line.
Commissioner NJ Reinhart of thi:
city will attend the meetings and
anticipates day and night work tc
dispose of the many matters to b;
brought up.

REPORTED AT E[KO

A few days ago. according to the
Elko Free Press, the officials of the
Humboldt Forest took charge of a
band of 100 sheep in the northern
part of that county, that had been
driven over from Idaho and across
the forest without permission, as it
was, in violation of the federal rul-
ings. 1t now develops, according 70

identify the animals.
No warrants have been issued as
yet, but the officers are satisfied that
they were stolen and the men who
sold them to Jake Reed are wsll

ern part of the county.
According to the best information
obtainable. the band of sheep were
brought in from Idaho some time ago.

were then driven across the forest
and offered for sale to one Of the
Basque sheepmen, who after an cx-
animation saw that the brands had
been plucked. and he refused % buy
them. even though the price was low

offered the sheep. also refused to buy
after an examination, and then they
were offered to Mr. Reed, who says
that the men claimed that they had
gathered them up as strays from the
bands that were passing through the
country.
1t is reported that this is but one
of many cases of stock stealing that
have taken place in the northern part
of the county. adjacent to the Idaho
line. and the officers promise some
startling disclosures in the near fu-
ture.

The one from the West was piloted
by Lieutenant Maynard, or as he is
better known, THE Flying Parson.'
Maynard arrived here about 5:45 pm.
and stopped for the night. A very
cordial reception was extended to
him. A nice dinner was served by
the Red Cross to he and his mechanic,
Sergeant Kline; also to the aviators
who are here at present in charge of
the flying field, and to the local boys
who take so much interest and are
so ready to assist the flyers in get
ting their supplies of gasoline, oil.

After dinner a small program was
given in the assembly room of the
school house, the dinner being served

any fatigue whatever would be that
they had reached the point "where
the West begins" and they had never
experienced such hospitality before.
Maynard expressed his opinion of the
field here, saying that no city could
boast of a better one.
AS a remembrance of the city. he
was presented, by one of the local
men, with a gold nugget from one of
the hills surrounding the city. Also
he and Kline were presented with a
collection of beautiful arrow heads
which were found near here. In all,
the reception was grand affair. and
the accomplishment of such, in the
short time, should be credited to the
efforts of w. c. Hancock and the
members of the Red. Cross, who are
always on the job when something
has to be done quickly.
After the reception, the floor was
cleared and a pleasant dance, last
ing until about midnight, was enjoyed
by all.
