One Of the greatest writer's Of Russia
was Fyodor Dostoevsky, a man who
throughout his life lived In the most
AFFECT poverty. His first novel, Poor
Folk" at the Central public library.
caused a critic to say to him: ITO have
written such a book you must have pos
sessed the direct inspiration of an
artist" Having later incurred the HI
will of the Russian government, VINO
believed him TO be In sympathy with a
evolutionary movement when he was
not. he was condemned to be shot, but
was released at the last moment for four
years hard labor in a Siberian prison.
This terrible ordeal left its ineffaceable
stamp on Dostoevsky's life. He con
stantIy alludes to 1t, and In "The Idiot"
describes It at length. Out Of his life
in the Siberian prison developed his
unique sympathetic understanding OF the
peasants. outcasts and u~nfOrtunates.
There we're two determinative influences
upon his ~writlngs-his prison life and
his i'll health. His best known novel,
''Crime and Punishment" and the mimi
table House OF the Dead" are a direct
outcrowth of what he learned while in
prison. To escape a debtors prison, ne
fed abroad, where he lived for four years
In dire want and misery. During this
period he wrote his best works, Crime
and Punishment" 1.-THE Idiot" The
Possessed besides planning THE
Brothers Karamazov.' Other books at
the library by him are The Eternal
Husband" 1.-The Insulted and Injured, !"
''The Thief" "A Raw YOUTH Letters
to His Family and Friends
Some one has said of him: LAS a
writer he reached and expressed the Ill
innate extreme of the souls rapture,
anguish and despair, and spoke the most
precious words Of pity which have been
heard in the world since the gospels
were written. Dostoevsky is something
more than a Russian writer; he is a
brother Of all mankind"

Rail Fences

There seems to be a great deal, sometimes, in the association of
ideas, Flying through the country in a railway train and then one
sees, meandenng through an old woods, a crooked rail fence. And before
pator and Americas most famous rail splitter. Lincolns natal day, Feb
II, 1903, will be celebrated next month.
But the picturesque rail- fence is being driven out of existence. Only
in sequestered spots does it still remain. Secondgrowth timber has grown
up about it SO that the old rails seem to be winding in and out through
the trees. The trees themselves appear to be standing there, platoons of
protection The wire fence has sounded the doom of the rail one. even
though scarcity of raw material did not. How little we once thought of
timber. For some of those old rails, muscIehewn, are solid walnut!

COUNTY TAX BUDGET
INCREASED FOR 1920

The tax budget for the present
year as adopted by the board of
county commissioners at the last
meeting of the board in March pro-
vides for a raise of cents in the
general county tax. making the coun-
ty tax for this year $1.46.
The increase in the expenses of
the county is due to the require
ments for the county schools and
high schools and the roads. The
necessity of retiring the court house
and high school bonds this year has
made an increase for bond purposes
of cents. Road construction will
need an additional 3 cents and the
Farm Bureau requires an additional
l cent rate TO maintain the county
branch.
Administrative expenses of the
county for 1919 were s11S,02S.S9.
Estimated expenses for the coming
year are s13O,756. which will IN
clude the building of new sidewalks
in front of the court house and the
construction of the building on the
court house grounds for the storing
Of county machinery and tools.
Rad maintenance fr 1919 was
$3S, ,19S.49. with an estimated
amount of $4,000 for 1920, which
will provide for the substantial re-
pair of several of the county roads
that have been almost impossible for
the past two years.
County schools and the High
school have called for an increase of
about $4,000 each. County school
maintenance for 1919 was s6?.-
S0S.S0. and they will need this year
$S2,747.S5. while the County High
school expended in 1919 the sum OF
s23,705.70. and it will need $4,000
to carry the school through 1920.
Retirement of county bonds that
required s22,1SS.3S in the past year
will need the sum Of 900 to take
up the bonds coming due in 1920.
The administrative expenses of
the county stand the lowest in the
scale of raises. No change has been
made In the salary of the county Of
ficals and the small percentage of
raises in the salary of the deputies
does not approach the raises of en-
ployes in commercial lines of busi-
ness.
Included in the administrative ex-
pehssy are the expenses of maintain
ingsk1e-county hospital and all indi-
gent allowances which is also in
creased by the Mothers Pension al
lowances which are greater each
year.
Salaries paid by the county during
the year amount to $4S,756. with an
allowance for indigents and in pay
ment of mothers pensions of $3.50.
while the maintenanceof the county
hospital and feeding the county pris-
oners amounts to about $1,000.

100000 PER MILE
ESTIMATED COST.
OF PLANNED ROAD.
County's Share in the
Sixteen.Mle Concrete
Highway Would be
$l20, 10000.


ceived a telegram last Friday from
the state highway engineer. C. c..
Cottrell, giving an estimated cost
per mile for the project of building
a concrete highway between McGill
and Keystone In Robinson canyon.
The message stated that the esti-
mate for the concrete road would be
$4,000 per mile for this type of
road, which was considered by the
engineering department of the state
as the best type for the contemplated
project.
The proposed road will be about
sixteen miles in length, which will
cost approximately $3.50. 900. Of
which the county's proportion will
be about 35 per cent. according to
the highway commissions susges-
tion.
As this road Is designated i'm the
state highway routes provided for by
the general highway law for the
state OF Nevada passed by the legis-
lature in 1917. II Is the object of
the county commissioners to have
this construction incorporated in the
highway projects of the present year.
IL this road is built under the
state act IL will become a part OF
the state highway system and be un-
der the supervision of the state high
way department and the state high
way engineer will see that it Is kept
in repair and the cost of m-nten-
ance will be paid by tine state treas
irer out of the state highway fund.
The portion of the road that
passes through the city of Ely will
have TO be paid for by the city as
the highway law does not provide
for the construction of road
through an incorporated town.
One OF the provisions of the high
way act forbids the erection OF ad-
Yertlsing signs. signboards or any

road or within twenty feet of the
main travelled portion of the road.

the law requires that the railroad
company construct and maintain the
road over the tracks and for two feet

Under the $3.50 proposition of
the federal aid In state highway
building In which tho federal gov
ernment contributes an cquai
amount of money to that raised by
the state for any project. the county's
proportion of the proposed road
would be 100000, as the county,
through which the projects are un-
dertaken. pays half of what the state
puts up.
The county Is contemplating a
bond issue OF $3.50. 900 for this pro-
posed road and the matter of stand 1.
ing 30 per cent OF the cost instead of
the regulation 25 per cent will be
taken up with the state highway
commission by the board of county
