Governor Boyle Enter
the Engineering Field

As figured by the geological sur

United States for the irst six months
or 1921, despite a greatly increased
overproduotion for the corresponding
period in 1921. amounted TO $4,000
600 barrels less than actual consump-
tion in this country.
Imports. however. resulted in a
surplus that has depressed the indus
Try in general and the crude market
ia particular.
approximately 236,675 900 barrels
OF crude oil were produced in the
first six months OF this year, as COM
pared With a production of 2II,3C0,-
coo Iarreis during the first half of
last year. Imports of oil increased
ever 27,O0e.090 barrels and exports
jumped some 412,000 barrels
Consumption of crude amounted to
247, ,222,0G0 barrels during the first
half of 1920. while for the six months
OF this year consumption. totaled
219.721, 900 barrels.
From January l TO July 81 of this

The Illipah Petroleum Company is

NEVADA NORTHERN TAX
CUT MILLION DOLLARS

Agreement to reduce the assessed
valuation of the Nevada Northern
railway from $5,041,67 the 1920
assessed valuation for taxation pur-
poses. to S4,000,000 for the year
1921 was reached at the state beard
of equalization meeting at Carson
City late Wednesday afternoon.
Assessor j. +. Miles of White Pine
county was opposed to any reduction,
insisting that il the railroads de-
mands were granted other industries,
such as cattle and sheep. would have
To be included. :
Governor Boyle. as chairman of
the board, carried Oh much of the
questioning relative TO values and
earnings of the road in question.
Attorney Charles s. Chandler. as
counsel for the road, appeared before
the board TO request that the assess
ment be reduced to the actual value
placed upon the property by the in
terstate commerce comm ssion. which
was So 3,204.04S, says the Carson City
News.
Mr.. Chandler made a general state
ment OF the condition upon which the
basis for reduction was made and
lhdud6cT btOTke
Hickey to the stand to testify.
Mr. Hickey told the board that the
cost or book value of the road is $3.-
207. .1sT, about So 900 more than the
valuation found by the interstate
commerce commission. The stock of
the railroad is owned by the Nevada
Consolidated Copper Company The
shutdown of the copper properties In
the Ely distric: has resulted in a
deficit of s56,3S1 in the operation OF
the road during the first six months
of the present year OF this amount
he said that s6o.012 of the loss was
charged up in tn thr.e months end
ing Juae so last.
State and county taxes paid by the
Nevada Northern IN 1920 totaled
s1f2.0ss.16. Federal taxes paid
amounted TO several thousand dol
lars. In computing the loss in 1921
no interest was included. Mr.. Hickey
said.
In answer to questions Mr. Hickey
testified that the net earnings of the
road in 1920 amounted to $399.953
and the capital stock of the company
to be s2.000.000 of par value.
As the White Pine county budget
has been submitted and all calcula-
tions for financing the county have
been based on total valuation of
SIS. 100000 it was feared that
granting the requested reduction of
almost s2.000.000 would curtail the
county treasury too much all at once.
Fence the agreement to fix the value
of the road at s4.000,000 this year
and to assess the actual cash value
next year. Final action will be taken
by the tax commission sitting later as
final board of equalization, but the
assessors of the state will in the
meantime have the advantage OF
knowledge of the reduction and con-
duct equalization proceedings accord

FOURTH DISTRICT
 ELECTION TODAY
Fight Is Between Lamar Jet- fers of Calhoun and s. P.
 Mcdonald of SyIacauga

Montgomery, April n.-tSpecial. )-Dem- ocrats of the Fourth congressional dis trict will name their candidate for con- zressnan as the successor of Congress- man Fred L. Blackmon, in a primary Tuesday. The fight has been between Lamar Jeffers of Calhoun, who was de- feated by only a few hundred votes in the primary last year. and S. P McDon- aid of Sylacauga. member of the state democratic executive committee.
 The contest has been unusual in that prohibition has not been the leading is- sue. in fact nothing has been said about it during the campaign. The fight has centered about the Smith -Towner bill in Congress which provides appropriations for public education. MT. McDonald has opposed the bill while Mir. Jeffers has supported it. In view of the fact that only two candidates are in the field. It is probable returns from the primary should be received during the early hours of Tuesday night Another thing which will facilitate the counting of the bal lots Is the encouragement of the voting precincts under the law which provides that a, box shall be provided for every DO votes.
