us that no time will be lost in OBJ
tanning the depth and that oil is a
certainty In the north end of Ilii-

Deputy Game Warden Powell,
through the board OF county COM
missioners has petitioned the state
game warden to furnish a state
policeman and station him in New
ark Valley during the stge hen sea-
son which opens the lf,th OF July.
Owing to the many complaints
coming from tho Newark Valley Sec
ton relative TO the disfsss ard OF
hunters to the bag limit, it Is deemed
advisable to have the state handle
the matter of enforcing the law.
This part of the county is remote
and according TO reports, hunters

gard TO the limit placed on this game

ELY'S HISTORY Of WORLD
WAR PARTICIPATION
TO Be COMPILED

Through the efforts OF Miss Jean
cite Weir, secretary OF the Nevada
Historical Society and professor Of
history at the University of Nevada
the work of compiling and publish
ing history of Nevada's activity In
the Great War was started in Ely
this week.
A committee with Colonel J. S.
Bennett as chairman was formed for
the purpose of securing the names of
all men from White Pine county who
entered the service and their records
during the war
The great difficulty experienced by
the historical society is the lack of
an authentic list of the men who on
tered the service as all records of
the local boards we're returned to
Washington. At the time these rec
ords were returned to to the War
department at Washington, county
clerks were instructed to send all
lists and records and that no duplf-
Gates or anything pertaining to the
local board work should be retained
In the local offices. Many freight
train loads of these records were re
ceived In Washington and it will be
many years before all OF these rec
F, ords can be filed in such a manner
as to furnish to states and counties
the information desired. The record
of the men vino enlisted for service
is more difficult to obtain than that
of the drafted men and it is only
through the efforts of the committees
in the varioous sections throughout
the county that the historical So
ciety expects to arrive at the facts
for the proposed history.
At the close of the war the News
placed register with the Northern
Hotel and printed requests for all
men discharged from the service to
register. Another such register was
installed by County Clerk Oldfeld.
but a very small percentage OF the
ex-service men appeared TO make the
registration.
A permanent organization for the
historical work will be established In
Ely and an effort will be made to Sc.
cure the facts for the contemplated
work

Intensive DRIVE FOR
COLLECTION OF TAXES

The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue w
A. Kelly, at Reno, New.
In this, as in every other section
OF the country, there will be conduct
ed during the next two months an
intensive tax drive for the collection
of delinquent sales and other miscel-
laneous taxes, such as the so-called
luxury tax, the manufacturers tax,
the tax on jewelry aud works of art,
and the tax on toilet articles and
proprietary medicines. Reports of
laxity on the part of dealers and
other persons responsible for the re-
turn and collection of these taxes
have reached the Bureau of Internal
Revenue from many sources.
ITO remedy this condition, Com
missioner William NJ. Williams has
assigned to the work of investigation
l175 special revenue officers. These
men will compose flying squadrons
which will visit every large city in
the United States, cooperating with
assistant supervisors and field dep
uties. The total force numbers
1000.
1.-The drive will be under the inn
mediate supervision of Collectors of
Internal Revenue, and is expected to
result in the collection of millions Of
dollars in delinquent taxes and PEN
alties.
Information from the Sales Tax
Unit of the Bureau of Internal Rev.
enue is that many dealers in soft
drinks and ice cream either are keep
ing no record of the amount OF tax
collections from such sales. or that
1.-THE record is insufficient or Incorrect.
Special attention will be directed
to the collection of this tax as we'll
as to the tax on toilet articles and
proprietary medicines. Through the
failure of retailers to collect in full
the tax OF 1 cent for each 25 cents
or FRACTION thereof of the amount OF
which toilet articles and proprietary
medicines are sold, ii is estimated
the government is losing several mil
lion dollars annually. The tax Is
collected by means of stamps rang
ing from 1 to 40 cents, which the law
| provides shall be affixed by the deal
er, and cancelled.
1t is the intention to conduct as
thorough and effective campaign as
possible in such way as to bring
to justice wiliful violators, and cause
no embarrassment to merchants and
business men who honestly are en-
deavoring to comply with the rev.
enue laws. Discovery of evidence to
show willful tax evasion will be fol-
lowed by prosecution. In hagrant
cases, the Bureau will urge imposi-
ton of extreme penalties. For will
full refusal no collect and pay the tax
the penalty Is fre of not more
than $4,000, or one years imprison-
ment, or both, together with an added
assessment equal to the amount OF
tax evaded. For failure To make re
turn. tlhe penalty is fine of not more
than 1000.
Persons desiring TO file amended
returns for tax collections for which
they are responsible should do so be-
fore government investigation, in
which case the policy of the Bureau
will be one of leniency. There is
great difference between the self-dis-
covered tax delinquent. and the tax
eyader discovered by the Bureau.
