Taxpayers Advised
To Adjust Accounts
Collector of Internal Revenue of
District of Nevada Issues
Helpful Instructions

The following statement is is
SUED by Collector Of internal Reye-
nue. Louis A. Spellier, the District
of Nevada:
with the approach of the period
for filing income tax returns, Janu-
airy l to March 10, 1922, taxpayers
are advised to lose no time in the
compilation of their accounts for
the year 1921. A new and import
ant provision of the Revenue Act of
1921 is. that every person whose
gross income for 1921 was $4,000 or
over shall file a return, regardless
of the amount of net income upon
which the tax is assessed. Returns
are required of every single person
whose net income was $1,000 or
over and every married person liv-
ing with husband or wife whose net
income was $4,000 or over. Wild
ows and widowers and persons sepa-
rated or divorced from husband or
wife, are regarded as single persons.
Net income is gross income, less
certain deductions for business ex-
penses. losses. taxes, etc. Gross in
come includes practically all income
received by the taxpayer during the
year; in the case of the wage earn
er. salaries, wages, bonuses and
commissions; in the case of profess
sional men, all amounts received for
professional services; in the cases
IF farY,are au ,ro6ts fro,, tba sola
of farm products, and rental or sale
of land.
"In making of an income tax re-
turn for the year 1921, every tax
payer should present to himself the
following questions;
What were your profits from
your business, trade, profession or
vocation?
Did you receive any interest on
bank deposits?
Have you any property from
which you received rent?
Did you receive any income In
the form of dividend or interest
from stocks or bonds?
Did you receive any bonuses dur
ing the year?
Ibid you make any profit on the
sale of stocks, bonds or other prop
.erty, real or personal?
did you act as a broker in any
transaction from which you re-
'eeived commissions?
Are you interested in any part
o4bnr frp, fra,,, v.bfob
you received any income?
"Have you any income from roy
alties or patents?
"Have you any minor children
who are working?
''Do you appropriate, or have the
right to appropriate, the earnings Of
such children? If so. the amount
must be included in the return OF
income.
HAS your wife any income from
any source whatsoever? If so, it
must be included in your return or
reported in a separate return of In
come.
do you hold any office in ben
eft society from which you receive
income?
Answers to all of these ques-
tions are necessary to determine
whether a person has an income sur
flciently large to require that re-
turn he filed. and may be the means
of avoiding the heavy penalties i'm
posed for failure to do so within the
time prescribed"

Fire Destroys Mine
Hotel; Three Burned
Disastrous Midnight Blaze Demol-
ishes Tonopah Boarding House;
Suspect Incendiarism

Rumors of incediarism in connee-
tion with the fire that destroyed the
Belmont boarding house were rife
yesterday when officers of the com
pany began investigating the rapid
spread of the fire which enyeloped
the building with lightning speed.
1t was openly limited that there
was evidence of gasoline on a couch
In the sitting room near the heating
stove where the covering of the
couch had been pulled apart, says
the Tonopah Times. One of the
dodgers says he saw flames shoot out
of the couch and John Evanson and
Steve Carlos, two of the boarders,
asserted that a man was seen run
ming away from theb uilding soon
after the fire was discovered. L.
Crane. the manager, also holds to
the theory of incendiarism as he
says he made the rounds of the
building a few minutes before the
fire was discovered The first init
nation of trouble was when Guy
Roberts approached the corner in
company with a young lady whom
he was seeing home. Roberts call
ed the lady's attention to what
tain over one of the windows. The
lady retorted: That's no curtain;
that's a fire." and Robets sped off
to find a telephone. This was fol-
lowed by shots and the general out
cry that aroused the sleeping in
mates. Mrs. Harrington. former
owner OF the house, who now lives
on the opposite side of Florence ave-
nue., returned from mailing letters
at the postoffice and entered her own
house at 10:40. Force of habit
caused her to observe the Big Ship
and she noticed the house was com
pletely dark with the exception of
one light in the room of Manager
Crane. The porch light was shut
of but she paid no attention to that
as it had been thep raeticer ecently
to shut off the ouside lighs early.
Ten minutes later Mrs. Harrington
heard a noise and. shutting off her
own light, looked out and saw a
small blaze that looked like ii was
burning upstairs. Lots of smoke
was in evidence and she was about
to call central when Guy Roberts
rushed up and turned in the alarm.
Men who are familiar with the in
terror of the Big Ship say the fire
spread rapidly on account of the oil
soaked condition of the floors which
for years had been treated several
times a week with oil until they
were saturated. In addition TO this
the lower floor was soaked with oil
from loose jointed oil feed pipes
connecting with the oil burning
heating stove in the sitting room.
The oil pipes were disconnected by
the Belmont management and mine
waste was used freely for fuel. Ae-
cording to the testimony of various
dodgers there was little or no fire in
could not have been communicated
in that way.
The origin OF the fire will be fully
ventilated at the inquest which was
continued yesterday afternoon to
1890 "Wednesday morning in order
to enable a through sitting of the
causes before and during the fire
with the intention of placing the re-
sponsibility where II belongs. The
jury was sworn in yesterday after
| moan ot A o'clock nv Justiea Cuddy
and taken to view the remains.

Two Thousand Dollars Paid for
Property North of City Hall; c. l..
Benadum Former Owner
MAKES REPORT ON
NEW WELL; Is SATISFACTORY
Possibility of Paving Streets Sug-
gested BY Mayor; dollhouse
Resigns As Watchman

The fifty foot lot, NORTH of tue
city hall was purchased by the city
council last night from c. L. Bena-
dunn. The cost, of the property was
forty dollars per front foot, total
ing two thousand dollars.
1t was stated at the meeting that
the city has been using the lot for
storage purposes for the past three
years and that it was essential that
the city own more property for i'm
mediate storage OF city equipment
and for future building purposes.
The city now owns the lots on
both the north and south sides of
the city hall, an area of approx
mately two hundred feet by one hun
dred feet facing on Carson street.
Well Proves Good
City Engineer Crehore reported
that the meteorological test from
the new well had been received from
the University of Nevada and that
the water proved to be satisfactory
for domestic use. 1t was also stat
ed that the mineral content of the
water is seven one-hundredths of
one per cent, compared to five one
hundredths of one per cent in the
east well.
The engineer was authorized to
drill three additional wells at the
same site and to ask for bids on
two pumping engines capable of
handling the probable future de-
mands of the city
Crehore stated that it is the pres
ent plan of the engineering depart
ment to concentrate the city water
supply at one point as much as pos
sible The department is. also look
ing to the future growth of the city
and is preparing now to supply more
water than the immediate demand
calls for in order that the city shall
never suffer from a water shortage.
Precautions are also being taken to
assure a large reserve supply in case
of fire. One of the pumps which the
council is contemplating ordering
will not be used at present except
in case of emergency it was an
nounced. 1t will also be necessary
to use it regularly within a few
years, it was stated, if the city con-
tinues its growth.
May Pave Streets
Mayor Clarke announced that it
is possible for the city to pave the
main streets of Fallon under the
Phipps-Dowell bill which provides
for government aid to municipali-
ties of less population than twenty
I've thousand on the same scale that
the state receives. He said that the
city of Fallon could receive help to
the extent of $4,000 per mile of
paving. He urged the members of
the council to consider the PROPOSE
tlon and indicated that action would
be taken in the near future.
The question of the present condi-
tion of the streets was discussed by
the members of the council. Vari-
Gus plans for improving them were
suggested but no action taken.
Following the adjournment of the
meeting Mayor Clarke announced
that the resignation of William Loft
house as night watchman would be
presented to the council at the next
regular meeting which takes place
January 3.

GOSHEN EAGER FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP TILT
Crimson and White Eleven
Has Phenomenal Record
for Season.

GOSHEN, Ind, Nov. Claim for
the championship Of the northern
part OF the state in football circles
is being made by the Goshen High
school aggregation as a result OF the
phenomenal record made thus far on
the gridiron. Decisive defeats have
been dealt Garrett, Elkhart, Sturgis
and other schools this year by the
crimson and white eleven. This rec
ord is considered exceptionally good
when ii Is considered that this is
the first year since 1915 that Goshen
High school has been represented on
the gridiron.
Roscoe G. Albeit, athletic director
TO any school in the state for game
and head coach, has isued a challenge
in order that the Goshen claim for
the championship may be settled.
Negotiations are pending with the
South Bend High school officials. but
up TO the present time nothing has
been accomplished toward securing
a satisfactory date. In former years
South Bend and Goshen hooked up
on Thanksgiving Day. but relations
were broken off in 1912.
The average weight OF the Goshen
eleven is 155 pounds. according to
Coach Albeit.

But the game today is as strong
or even stronger in the west and
schools, never heard of a few years
ago. now figure prominently in the
annual selection of All-American
teams.
Better Coaching.
There is a reason for this.
College football greats wind up
their brief college season wfh the
fighting football spirit unsatiated.
They join the pro ranks and show
greater stuff than they ever did
at college, gradually accommodating
a knowledge of the game that their
old coaches would envy.
These men who have been stars
in their days, All-Americans and
professionals, are growing in num-
Der year by year. They are spread
ing out all over the country, taking
jobs as coaches at western and
southern schools. And these schools
today are getting A. No. training
and are paying the brand of foot
ball that few years ago was seen
only in the east. Check over the
who have graduated into the pro-
fessional ranks and who now are
