VIRGINIA AFTER MOONSHINERs

While it is to be noted that
'moonshining" is APPARENTLY prevalent
throughout the state, evidence is not
altogether lacking nearer home that
"jackass" is not difficult to obtain.
1t is perhaps to be easily understood
here why many communities are up
in arms over the traffic that seems
to flourish practically unchecked,
but the bootleggers are now begin

The river is running full and white
with foam and also debris, the two
immense big bitches into which the
water is directed are running full
capacity and filling up the smaller
bitches as fast as it can be turned

ELKO DAM BREAKS
AND FLOOD IS ON

One OF the big dams of the DEVILS
Gate ranch on the North Fork was
swept away Wednesday, releasing an
enormous amount of water, which
swept down the North Fork valley to
the Humboldt river at Ryndon, in
undating the entire river bottom at
that place above the narrow canyon
above Osino. the flood reaching Elko
early yesterday morning. All day
the waters continued to rise, until
the lower lands along the river ad-
joining Elko were flooded, and from
the hill above town it had the ap-
pearance of a great lake.
This is the worst flood at this time
of the year for a number of years
past, and with all the smaller streams
bank full, the flood continues at its
height and is slowly raising, but 1t
is not expected to cause any damage,
as experience of many years past has
taught those along the river to make
preparations for the spring flood
Although the water is over the
tracks of the Western Pacific at a
number of places, it has caused no
damage to the tracks and the trains
are running on schedule time. The
snow in the mountains has not begun
TO come down and this flood is the
run-off from the lower hills, and will
soon subside.-Elko Free Press.

CO. COMMISSIONERS
IN SESSION TODAY

A bunch of court house contractors
we're busily occupied with the county
commissioners this morning after
they had assembled for the regular
monthly meeting. Time was not
available. however to secure details
of the conference IL is naturally
assumed. however. that the whole
matter will be allowed to die as
quietly as possible.
Tom Shone, who has been employed
by the commissioners TO draw up the
budget for county expenses for next
year, was awaiting the pleasure of
the commissioners, expecting a hear
ing some time this afternoon. His
preliminary draft of the budget has
brought out some interesting facts.
In conversation he stated the county
tax rate will be about the same as
last year, ninety-three cents on each
hundred dollars of valuation. All of
his figures, however, are subject to
revision by the commissioners.
Valuation on property in Humboldt
county has been reduced by Shone
for budget purposes from $19,00S, goo
to $1S.500.O00, the reduction in esti-
mated assessable valuations being
caused by reduced herds of cattle,
bands Of sheep and reduced value of
merchandise stocks.
Administrative expense of the coun-
~ has been cut in the budget from
S75.42S.00 a year to $71. 1.272.00. accord
ing to Shone's figures, and this will
help to take up some of the slack
due to reduced valuation.
The county tax rate would be lower
We're it not for court house building
expenditures. according TO Shone, in
terest on court house bonds and scrip
redemption costing taxpayers nearly
seventeen cents on each hundred dol
lars of assessed valuation. This is
in spite of the fact income from all
sources will be less than last year.
At the same time the schools have
been raised one cent in the tax rate
because of increased expenses.
County books shows that S37,547
was spent on county roads and
bridges last year The budget pro-
vides for $4,000 for this purpose,
but only $22,7SO will be available for
road work between now and the first
of next January.
new expense will be in the Hum
boldt County Farm Bureau mainte-
mace, which will cost the county
$3.50 The state and federal govern
ment put up similar sums for the
Farm Bureau work in this county.
The county hospital brought the
county s3SS5.65 last year, which was
the amount paid by private patients.
This apparently speaks well for the
management of the hospital.
All around. the budget is rather a
mess at this time. data necessary not
being available Amounts necessary
for.schools have not been set and this
is only one of the things that may
cause revision. The law requires the
budget shall be filed at the first meet
ing of county commissioners during
the month of April. but tax COM
mission rule makes the date for filing
the first meeting in March, forcing
action while the legislature is still
in session. Action of the legislature
during the closing days may cause
budget revision.
Just what the commissioners will
think about the proposed budget and
tax rate is not known, but something
new concerning it may be done at
this time, additional facts thus being
available for the Tuesday issue.
