LEAP YEAR

| There was a period when the old
| laws OF Scotland and France gave the
| women the right to make proposals,
OF marriage during Leap Year. In
Scotland man refusing such All
offer could be fined one pound. Thus
| feminisln stirred early in the hearts
Of women
The modern custom, giving men the
exclusive right Of making this pro-
posal, seems to have have risen from
the old conception of woman as
| weak or inferior creature. Women
felt they could win men only through
charm and elusiveness. If they sought
after men they seemed to cheaper
themselves and become less desirable.
Today many women are physically
as strong as men, and are mentally
superior. The average woman is bet
ter educated. Many women are sue
cessful in business and the profess
sions. 1t seems particularly inappro-
pirate if strong and achieving wo-
man must act as if She were defence
less and inferior.
Women's inttitions are superior to
mems If they feel this attitude Of
reserve best suited to the interests Of
their sex, there is no doubt some rea-
son for it. But some splendid girls,
admirably fitted to become wives and
mothers take it too seriously. Fear
full Of offending the highest standards,
they adopt an attitude Of such great
reserve as to cool the approach of
suitors. whom they might win by a
little more assertion OF their feelings.
This is not the case at all with the
average girl She may seem helpless
| in the presence of the vacillating
| male But She has ways of allure
| ment and strategy known to her sex.
| By these she can bring an irresolute
and inconstant lover to declare him
self i'll manly ways.
Nominally he takes the initiative
| Actually it was hers Every year may
| be Leap Year to a girl who knows
her own mind. Some hunted bache-
lors know this truth quite too we'll for
their comfort.

PUMP DEMOLISHED

WILL RAILROAD
REDUCE RATES?

Petition for lower freight rates on
ores and concentrates from Paxton
and other points in eastern California
to Wabuska, made by the Mason VAL
ley mines company, has been denied
by the railroad administration, ac-
ccording to information received by
]. +. Shaugnessy, chairman Of the
state railroad commission. The rea-
son given is that contract exists
with a smelter in Utah to haul con-
centrates from Paxton until Novem-
Der |, 1920.
The Mason Valley Mines company
has two blast furnaces at its smelter
at Thompon, one mile from Wabuska,
which are unsuitable for smelling
concentrates The company desires
to replace these furnaces with a re-
verberatory furnace, in which concen-
trates can be treated. The establl-
shment of such smelter, which it is
proposed will treat custom ores, re-
quires heavy sulphides for the proper
fluxing, and to reduce consumption of
coke. This section Of Neada is not
capable of producing sufficient ton
mage of sulphides and the company
desired rate from Paxton so that it
could secure concentrates from the
Plumas county copper mines. The
existing rate is $40 SO per ton for
haul of 1872 miles compared with a
rate Of 49, 80 to Salt Lake, distance
of over 600 miles. The Mason Val
ley Mines company asked for reduc-
ton to $4.25 per ton.
Just what effect the refusal OF
lower rate will have on the future
plans of the Mason Valley Mines
company remains to be seen. The
only sulphide product available in
Nevada at present is the output of
the flotation mill of the Bluestone
Mining & Smelling Company in Ma
son Valley This mill produces about
SO tons of concentrates a day, con
tanning Is to 20 per cent copper. If
the Mason Val1ay Mines company is
able to secure rate on sulphide ore
and concentrates from eastern Cal.
the company will construct a rever-
batory furnace and treat custom ores
which would be greatly to the adj
vantage of many mines tributary to
the smelter. enabling them to market
ores that will not stand the freight
charges to the more distant smeters
The plans of the Mason Valley
Mines company also embrace the con
struction of flotation mill to treat
its own ores at the mine This in
stallation as we'll as that of the re-
verberatory furnace, depends upon
securing rates from California 1t is
probable that application will be made
direct to the Western Pacific and to
the Southern Pacific railroads for a
change in the rate after the railroads
are returned to private ownership and
management, March LIST

CHASED BY BLOODHOUNDS

A $500 bloodhound recently import
ed from Kentucky by the Nevada
state prison officials, is on the trail
Of Oscar Hudson, an Indian lifetimer,
who escaped from the penitentiary on
Friday. The guards and police are
searching for the fugitive, who is
considered dangerous person to be
at large. Hudson was put in po-
sition as trusty week ago He was
sent to the prison for killing man
in cabin between Dayton and Sill
yer in revenge for the killing of an
Indian by white.
Oscar Hudson was captured Tues
day by members of the state police
at an Indian camp in Smith Valley.
The bloodhound was used in trailing
the fugitive the greater part of the
route over which he made his escape.

SUTRO MOONSHINER
PLEADS GUILTY


Operating 4 still for the manufac-
ture of "Jackass" brandy proved a
costly experience for G.. Zcdoli of
Sutro and one that will keep him in
Jail for three months when Judge Far
rington gave him Jail sentence and
imposed fines and penalties totalling
5000 on him., He also entered all ord
er for the confiscation of Zedoli's
personal property
Zedoli's still was raided about a
month ago by R. b. Heinrich, sup
erintendent of the state police, and
his men. They found about twenty
barrels of brandy mash, large guam
tity of grain, several quarts of brandy
and complete still in the course OF
operation. Zedoli was charged under
the United States law with operating
and illicit still pleaded not gully.
In the federal court this morning
he changed his plea to guilty.
Judge harrington sentenced him to
spend three months in the Washoe
county jail, penalized him$500 and
fined him 500.
Zedoli's still was located in an
abandoned house in the old town of
Sutro. just below the mouth of the
Sutro tunnel.

THE WHITE COLLAR MAN"

Newspapers have been printing
semi humorous articles about the
troubles of the large class OF men
ranked under the, foregoing title, in
Guiding suchI as clerks, bank employ
es, teachers, and others who do not
perform manual labor and can wear
clean clothes. The present economic
situation is no joke to these useful
workers, who have not had wage adj
vances equal to other classes OF pop
ulation.
Many of these services will have to
be much better paid if they are to at
tract intelligent people. This is par
ticularly true of educational work.
The failure to advance salaries has
made it difficult to find teachers.
However, one reason why the
white collar man" has not Jared as
well, is that too many young men
have been afraid of wearing overallS
The world is going to pay higher
price than ever before for its hard
work 1t will not pay relatively so
much for adding up figures and meas
uring out ribbon.
Young men who want a good living
must either acquire a high degree OF
manual skill and be willing to get
their hands dirty, or they must attain
exceptional ability as organizers and
managers of business.

STATE FINANCES
IN fine CONDITION

The advance sheets Of the 1919 re
port of State Controller George a
| Cole show that the finincial affairs OF
| the state of Nevada have more than
| doubled in the past five years, the re-
ceipts Of 1919 being $2,174,1SS.21, as
against 1881 $500 in 1924: and dis
bursements, $2,162, 50oo1, as compar-
ed with $1,143,513.79 Of five years ago.
Moreover, the cash balance has in
creased from $227,535.2o to $735,S4l-
/ %.
An increase of assessed valuation
from S13o,o05, 04S86 to $l9S,044,005.25
during the five year period accounts
for much of the differente; but new
state governmental activities, notably
the new state highway system, account
for great share of the constantly en-
larging volume of money handled by
the state officials. The proceeds OF
mines returns, on which taxes were
collected fell off $3,2S6,6o400 from
1918. This was due somewhat prob
ably to unsatisfactory labor condi-
tons, but principally to an erratic
copper market. This loss of valua-
lions was more than made up by an
increase of real estate and personal
property valuations of $3,337 10000
so that the total tax roll is slightly
larger than year ago
| The collections from counties were
as follows: Elko County, $402007 %;
Washoe county, $2OS,54S. 81; White
| Pine, $l66,2So.05; Humboldt county,
500 1889; Nye county, $oS,06o.07,

Clark county. $20,7O5.77; Eureka coun-
ty SlS,46522; Storey county, $14,0S7-
05; Ormsby county $10o0S.42 making
a total of 1888, 422.42
There was total property tax Of
| 81 ,22S.7l2.9l collected. Proceeds OF
mines tax was $47,17375. inheritance
tax was $5,351.30 Other items were,
! auto license, $50, 11050: interest or
