Cowboys Choose for Their coIors the
Glory Of the Sunlight and the
Evenings Beauty.

Has it ever occurred to you to
associate any color or combination
OF eolors with the colorful life of the
cowboy? asks Phil LIE Noir in the
Amarillo News. 1t had not to me
until attended a cowboys reunion
at the glory-crowned little city of
Las Vegas, N. NJ. Then it struck
me like a fash of lightning. There
leading the parade was big, red
faced cowpuncher proudly holding
aloft great silk flag. Its colors
were purple and gold. After much
inquiry : discovered that the cow
boys of the reunion had chosen pur-
pie and gold as their official colors"
with this thought in mind:
The gold? The glorious sunshine
which floods the vast domain of
mountain, plain and valley we know
as the great western range-the
same horizon to horizon range
whore, through long weary days and
longer lonely nights, the ever faith
full cowboy keeps solitary vigil over
his herds Of milling, bawling cattle.
And the purple? The Alpine
glow which at cool eyentide hovers
over the distant white-topped peaks.

MILK BY PIPE LINE.

1t has been proposed in Germany
to supply milk to big cities by pipe
line. The project would drive it,
quite fresh, under high pressure. AS
the milk would not be in contact
with the air, there need be no fear
of its curdling.

From all accounts the old mining
camp of Tuscarora was q strange
sight on the night OF June 80 and the
morning Of July 1. says the Elko In
dependent. Practically every claim
in the Tuscarora district was relocat-
ed by it's former owners. none Of
whom did the required amount of
work for the year 1890 under the res
olution of Congress extending time
for doing 1t until July 1.
At twelve O'Clock on June 80 the
hills and canyons were literally dot
ted with moving lamps and camp fires
marking parties of r~eiocators out to
reclaim their own ground or stalking
locations for other parties.
There are several hundred valuable
claims In the Tuscarora district, all
of which were unprotected by assess
ment work for 1920 and were there
fore open to relocation On July 1. In
nearly every case, however. 1t is re-
ported that the former owners Of the
property made their relocations with
out difficulty.

EQUALIZATION BOARDS
HAVE MORE TIME

Carson News: Because of a change
made in the law at the last session of
the Legislature the date of holding
the final meetings Of the County
Boards of Equalization has been
changed from the second to the
fourth Monday in August. County
Commissioners of the Nevada coun-
ties have been notified by the secre-
tary of the Tax Commission.
The change will give county boards
two weeks additional time in which
to complete the task of equalization
in the counties, and will relieve the
State Board from consideration of To-
cal assessment matters. Taxpayers
will be benefited by greater oppor-
tunity to appear before their own
boards and secure relief without be-
ing compelled to appeal to the State
Board at Cason City.
The Tax Commission will this year
be unable to investigate assessments
in counties because of the lack of
FUNDS. *

COTTON AUTOS TO RUN
WITH COAL DUST FUEL

Chicago. July 5.-Automobiles built
of a composition OF cotton and opsr-
ated with coal dust for fuel are a
possibility, according to r, w. Bah
son, staistician.
The principal factor in the decline
of the automobile business has been
the steady increase in the price of
gasoline" he said. THE car Of the
future will be run by other fuel. AL
ready the 8 of coal dust has passed
the experimental stage.
Lighter cars must be manufac-
tured to cut down the cost of produc-
ton and maintenance. A compost
tion of cotton, formaldehyde and glue
is being used to produce a material
that may solve the problem.

TONOPAH OFFICERS
MAKE RAID ON BIG STILL

Tonopah. July 5.-Under Sheriff
Shade and deputies destroyed what is
thought to be the largest still in Ne
vada Saturday night. The still,
owned by Tonopah men, had a ca
pacity Of 1000 gallons of finished pro-
duct every month and was discovered
when the owners moved 1t from a
more remote district to within forty
miles of Tonopah.
The still was located in a noun
famous district forty miles northwest
Of Tonopah on the summit OF an is
olated peak which could be reached
only by a tortuous canyon road.
Lookouts from the summit could see
persons approaching from a distance
of ten miles in any direction.
When the officers arrived they
found the mash and the still, but no.
body could be found in the vicinity.
Five barrels of booze were found hid
den underground camoufiaged with
sagebrush. The outfit was worth ap-
preximately $1,000 and was fitted
with crude oil burning boilers. The
officers covered the plant with oil and
started a fire which consumed five
200-gallon watts and a large stock of
grain. The owners of the plant re-
Gently received four tons Of sugar and
