RESTED HERE BY THE
STATE POLICE

THREE men from Tonopah, nunam-
ed, save as John Doe, Richard Rowe
and Bill Billikens, rolled into town
last Thursday night in high power
ed motor car, unhonored and unan-
nounced But their coming was
known by the state police who trailed
the trio from Tonopah, not for high
grading or murder. but with the sus-
picion that their car contained a good
ly amount of illict booze. The state
police after a thrilling chase across
parehed deserts, green carpeted val
leys and high mountains, overlook the
three men here and Immediately
searched their car and found that they
had made no mistake in their sus-
picions. They were placed under ar
rest for transporting liquor in the
State of Nevada. Friday morning
they appeared before Justice of the
Peace Krummes at the invitation OF
the peace officers, and decided that
the best thing to do was to plead
guilty and were each separated from
$1,000 by the stern judge. Worse, yet
the officers took possession of the
cherished cargo of booze. for which
the race across the state was made to
save.
In commenting upon the arrest of
the trio. Sheriff Nielsen referred this
paper to the following section of the
Nevada prohibition law:
Sec. l. From and after the approy-
al of this act 1t shall be unlawful for

To Equalize
Tax on Lands

ONE of the direct results of the dis
solution of the Nevada Taxpayers
Association was shown yesterday by
the announcement that a land tax
committee had been formed as part
OF the Nevada Livestock Association.
The land tax committee consists of
three members selected by agricnl-
tural land interests and three men,
bers. appointed by the executive COM
mittee of the Nevada Livestock As
sociationlto represent grazing land in
terests is as follows
George Russell, Jr,, chairman;

Keddie of Fallon, representing the
grazing lands of the state, and W. c.

rector; True vincell, Fallon and III. F.
Dangberg, Minden, representing the
agricultural interests of the state.
Vernon Metcalf, secretary of the
livestock association, will act as sec
Itldfy VI lHtt plliihitNNC'
"The policy of the committee" said
w. C. Noteware, "is primarily to COM
plete a survey and classification of
the lands of the state of Nevada for
the purpose of equalizing the taxes of
the land interests. The committee
will also undertake a general survey
of all other classes of property in an
endeavor to secure the equitable dis
tribntion of their taxes
"The committee will endeavor to
secure all necessary reforms through
legislative action, but before this can
be accomplished it will be necessary
to secure the cooperation of every
land owner in the state to be assured
of adequate finances to back the new
organization.
ITO this end we are sending out ap-
proximately 2500 letters explaining
the purposes of the committee to
every land owier in Nevada.
THE organization is not designed
for the interests of the big land own
ers, but for every one alike. We have
the backing of some of the largest
land and cattle owners in Nevada and
we are confident of the success of the
land tax committee.

To Receive Big
Settlement

A SAN Francisco press dispatch a
few days ago says as follows:
Lady Hadfield of London, the wife
OF Sir Robert A. Hadfield, the British
steel king, and one of the richest men
in Geat Britain, refused to discuss at
the Fairmont hotel the rumor that her
husband has agreed 10 make a $5,O0O.-
900 settlement on her out of court
when her divorce is granted in Neva-
da next fall.
Lady Hadfield, who has been in San
Francisco shoping since last Satur-
day, has left for Nevada in order to
comply with the law of that state re-
lative to perfecting a six months act
ual residence before she can sue for
divorce.
Her Nevada residence is at the Min
den Inn in the town of Minden, which
was made famous by Mary Pickford
who recently got a divorce there.
The character of the complaint
Lady Hadfield's lawyers are to file is
not definitely known. However, it is
said the ground of the complaint will
probably be incompatibility.
As the story runs, Lord Hadfield is
not to contest the suit.
Lady Hadfield is a sister of George
W. Wickersham, who was attorney
general in the cabinet of President
Taft. 1t is the brother who is acting
as the main attorney for Lady Had
field. and it is through him that the
$o.0O0.O0O settlement on Lady Had
field is to be made.
Lady Hadfield was married to Sir
Robert in 1894, many years before he
was knighted and raised to baron
etcy.
The Hadfield divorce involves the
richest couple who have ever gone to
Nevada to serve the martial ties.

GOLDEN WEST PANORAMA
COMPANY TO CARRY
OUT THIS WORK

THE following letter explains how
the resources, industries, advantages
and opportunities of the richest Val
ley on the Pacific Coast is to be ex-
plotted to gazing. listening legions of
many lands:
Editor Record-Courier: Will you
kindly grant space in your valued
columns for brief announcement to
the good people of Carson Valley that
this wonder region of the Great West
is to be embraced in our Golden West
Panorama program in picture and
story, describing the worth and
wealth and numberless attractive fea-
lures of this marvellous vale of in
vincible soil energy. supurb climate,
premier scenic sublimities, and the
richest mineralized areas on the
globe?
We have arranged to camera a num-
Der of motion picture films to present
to the world by truthful photography
the pleasing story of this miracle
realm of meadows. pastures. gardens.
orchards, gain fields and cheerful
homes; of its vast surplusage of
available water for every purpose; of
its flocks and herds; of its countless
millions of dormant mineral wealth
awaiting the command of powder and
steel to flow into the channels of
commercial exchange and enlarge the
wealth of the world.
These films will involve the Com
stock Lode. the fame of which has
thrilled the people of every cline for
two generations. They will feature
scenes of all the Comstock belt from
Reno to Bodie in which no resource
or industry will be overlooked; in
dustrial portraits of prominent peo-
pie, and pictures of cities, towns,
lakes, waterfalls. mountins, glens and
valleys.
Our films will be exhibited only in
first-class houses and to high class
people, illustrating lecture talks on
each subject projected in the screen.
That this enterprise will be of vast
benefit in attracting people and capi-
tai to develop our slumbering re-
sources is self evident. No charge
will be made upon our people for
these films or for the lecture talks.
The income is derived from other
sources.
We hope by the means of the Gold
Ell West Panorama, to materalize
woolen factories in the Carson and
Truckee Valleys where Nevada wool
will be woven into fabrics without the
unnecessary freight or the land haul
to the Atlantic seaboards and back.
We shall proclaim for paper mills.
beet sugar factories, vast irrigation
systems with a consequent multiply
ing of agricultural industries and pro
ducts, and above all for persistent
activity to wrest from our mountains
their hidden vaults of silver. gold,
copper. lead and other minerals.
For the purpose of securing con-
certed action in this effort we request
the business men and public officials
of the Comstock Belt, from Reno to
Bodie to call meeting at some CEN
tral point to organize and adopt a
plan of systematic and practical
action.
Nevada is not only a vast mineral
empire, but a coming wonder agri-
cultural and manufacturing common
wealth.
Let us unite to blaze the name of
Nevada in letters of gold around the
world
