rectly to the most severe of the
shocks and several persons were
slightly injured by falling debris.
The shocks appeared to have been
almost entirely local. Ventura, Riv-

In Pasadena three slight shocks were
felt and the damage was triiing. The
beach towns south and west of In

The damage in Los Angeles city.

MAKING DEMANDS
FOR REVENUE TAX

The drive to collect delinquent rev
enue taxes is on here, II is reported
by C. o. Bonner, internal e col
lector for White Pine, Elko and Eu-
reka Counties, says the Ely Times.
This drive was prompted because of
the laxity on the part of persons who
owe the taxes and because the bureau
of internl evenu has received re-
ports stating hat many persons are
willfully evading the law.
During the next two months the
drive will be concentrated on the col
lection of delinquent sales and mis-
~cellaneous taxes such as the luxury
tax, the soft drink tax, the tax on
jewelry and works of art, and the tax
on toilet articles and proprietary
medicines.
To assist in the drive there have

pervision of the collectors of internal
revenue.
Accoring to a Communication re-
ceived from w. A. Kelly, collector for
Nevada, information from the tax
sales unit of the bureau of internal
e shows that many dealers in
soft drinks and ice cream either are
keeping no record of the amount of
tax collections for such sales, or that
the records are incomplete or incor-
rect.

NEVADA LIVESTOCK
MARKET VERY POOR

The livestock market in Nevada Is
reported by cattlemen to be so utter
1y dead that not a steer has been sold
in White Pine County in more than
sixty days. and 1t is stated that the
same Is true generally throughout
the State, a y the Ely Record. This
is in spite of the fact that the price of
meat to the consumer is unchanged
and in the East and on the Coast it is
as high and scarce as ever.
It is also the Ease hat the range
beef Is in better condition just now
than In any of the several seasons at
this time Of the year. Plenty Of Spring
rains have brought forth the grass in
great abundance and cattle have fat
tened remarkably.
Some Of the larger outfits that have
their own butcher shops in the State
have drawn upon their bands to the
usual extent for Their supplies. but
they do not begin to use the amount
Of beef that they raise and in the past
have been dependent upon outside
markets for their surplus.
Last year they had little surplus.
The drought was so general and SO
severe that 1t was hard to find fat
beeves on the Nevada ranges, and
now that they are plentiful there is
no outside demand whatever for
them.
What has happened to the market
is a mystery to the stockmen. There
are no buyers and no quotations. The
livestock market is up in the air and
no one knows why or when there may
be q sign of a change. 1t is osten-
sibly true that these conditions can
not last forever, for the country IN
mistakably is short of meath and has
been an importer for many years,
with that condition growing worse in
stead of better.
But II 1t persists throughout the
Summer it will that thousands
of animals now fat and ready for the
market will have to go over another
Winter on the range, will get poor
again and many will die.
Just the opposite condition pre-
vailed last year. when thousands of
cattle had to be shipped out and sold
as feeders to keep them from dying
on the ranges in the Fall, Winter and
Spring. Their going made it possible,
by thinning the ranges for the pres
ent ones to get the feed thus made
available and now hat they have 1t
and have fattened. the sf.ckmen must
see his supposed gain vanished like
unto a dream.
Virtually the same conditions OBJ
rains as to the hide and wool to be
dead since the first days of the sea-
son. when the buyers were called in
by their eastern principals. From
above seventy cents a pound the price
has dropped below fifty cents and it is
dificult to find a buyer or get a quo
tation- Hides bring barely enough
to pay the freight on them and brings
about a situation whereby the hide is
not worth the time spent in pulling
it on the butchered animal.
Yet there has been no correspond
ing drop in the price Of clothing and
woolene. nor in shoes o any kind of
leather. These are as high al ever
and alleged to be scarce.
Stockmen profess to believe that
there Is an organized effort behind
this mysterious phenomenon.

besmirched by the touch of the pro-
fessional gambler and crooked mani
pulator. Valiant efforts have been
made by the devotees Of each to res
cue it from this position, but in spite
of all hat has been done it is next
to impossible to disabuse the public
mind OF the suspicion that a contest
in any of these >sports is not really
a sporting contest, but a fixed game
in which the result has been pre-ar
ranged in order that some rock or
set Of crooks can make money by

country. Not all the facts have been

enough has been brought to light to
show that the public has been hug

like practically all of the other great
sports, has fallen into the mire.

WATERS

The Grand Forks American which
plays something like second fiddle In
the Townley orchestra, renews the
discussion of j. r. Waters resigna-
ton from the position of manager of
the Bank of North Dakota.
Some time ago the Fargo Courier
News published what it represented
to be a photographic copy of the let
ter of resignation written by Mr.. Wa
ters to Governor Frazier, and dated
some time last March. Waters de-
clared this to be a forgery. Recently
Brinton and Waters. in a circular ad-
vertising certain newspaper matter
for sale, refer to the fact, or alleged
fact. that Waters resigned last March.
There you are decaims the Amer
lean. Waters said that the pub
lished letter dated in March was a
forgery. Now he and Brinton say
that he did resign in March. There
fore he must have been lying In the
first place, or he and Brinton are ly-
Ing now"
The trouble with the American is
that when it adds two and W. it gets
a total Of seven or eight. So far as
we are aware, Waters meyer said that
he did not resign. We do not recall
that he denied resigning in March.
We seem to have a recollection Of a

THE REAL

The city election is over. The con-
test was brief, which was. a distinct
advantage. Issues highly important
locally have been determined. Now
let US settle down to the real contest,
which, is North Dakota. relates to the
rescue Of the state from the morass
into which it has been plunged as the
result of a settled purpose to commit
the state to a policy Of Socialism.
This Is the rear of a presidential
election. and the issues in that con-
test are of the greatest Importance to
the nation. The people OF North Da-
kota should and Will express them
selves on these issues, giving to the
policies and candidates favored by
them the heartiest support of which
they are capable. That is right and
necessary. But let the mistake not
be made of confusing with the ma
tional candidates and national issues
those peculiar to the state. The
question of whether Harding or Cox
shall be president is not related at
all to the question Of whether A. G..
VI
Townely or the people of North Da-
kota shall manage and direct the af-
fairs Of this state. The question OF
whether or not the United States
shall enter the League of Nations
n II soon what erms, has nothing
to do with the question Of whether or
not the Bank of North Dakota shall
loan money to political favorites in
