in YEARS GONE BY
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
(From The Silver State Files)


A bachelors coincidence club was
organized in Wells few months
ago and was in a flourishing con-
dition until recently, when the presi-
dent, who had been experimenting
with an unpatented hair restorer,
discovered a second growth of towel
fuzz on his head and left for Tus-
carora and took the secret work

Lee CRUZ came down from Battle
Mountain yesterday, returning this
morning.
Deputy constable Ed Quicker
came down from Golconda with a
man by the name of George Davis,
sentenced by Judge Nixon, of that
place, to be held in the county jail
to answer before the grand jury on
charge of robbery.
Yesterday $4,000 in coin, repre-
senting the greater part of the
states proportion of the taxes of the
county, was shipped by Treasurer
Laveaga to the state treasurer at
Carson.
About one-half OF the hay in Ma

Eight hundred head of cattle ar
rived from Miller & Lux's White
Horse, Oregon, ranch today and
will be shipped on to California.
A heavy snowstorm prevailed yes
terday for awhile. Rain fell last
night melting the snow, and the
freeze which occurred later trans
formed the streets and sidewalks
into sheets of ice.
The case of Charles Anderson
who was arrested Saturday by con-
stable Nofsinger for disturbing the
peace, was dismissed in Judge Ruth
erford's court this morning.
The railroad company's taxes ar
rived last night by express and
were paid over today. They amount
to SD, 50.18.

Carson yesterday on professional
business. (The gentleman feels quite
sure that he is going to have to

States Federal Tax
Reduced by 100000

Reductions in federal taxes, which
are effective for the current year,
will save the taxpayers of the Ne
vada district the enormous sum of
100000, according to a special
survey of the cancellations and de-
creases in tax rates provided by the
revenue act of 1921, completed
yesterday by Internal Revenue Col
lector Louis A. Spellier.
The reduction in taxes for 1922
is approximately as follows:
Income -....................$200,000
Transportation tax -. $4,000
Sales and luxury tax = $4,000
While the transportation, sales
and luxury tax cancellations be-
came effective January 1, of this
year, the income tax reduction
covers 1921 as well as 1922, and
thereafter.
OF the 100000 income tax de-
duction, $175, 900 is distributed
among 5000 taxpayers with incomes
of less than $500, and $4,000 APP
plies to surtaxes on larger incomes.
The new exemptions allowed heads
Of families and for dependents is
now $4,000 and $500, which means
an increased exemption for a mar
ried couple with one dependent of
700, or tax saving of $28.
The survey stressed the fact that
the relief afforded by the decreased
taxation affects every person in
the Nevada district who travels,
pays freight, sends an express pack
age, buys a Pullman berth, takes a
drink of soda water, or who has a
taxable income. In other words
the relief afforded reaches all
glasses.
Although the Nevada office faces
tax reduction of more than $780,
900 annually, Collector Spellier de-
clared that the total collections for
the coming fiscal year will not be
materially affected. He predicted
that the marked expansion in every
class of business in the Nevada dis
trict will furnish sufficient new
taxes to easily absorb the 100000
wiped out by the last revenue act

TEN YEARS AGO

Yesterday the felony charged
against II. II. Cunningham, arrested
on the charge of having brought a
woman into the state for immoral
purposes, was dismissed. Defend
ant was re-arrested, charged with a
gross misdemeanor and Judge Dunn
set his trial for December 10.
Bonds were placed at $500 which
were furnished. Bonnifeld & Bran
don appeared for the defendant
and Judge J. A. Langwith for the
state.
Deputy Coroner Miller left last
evening for Donishee springs, stu

Jungo station, to inquire into the
death of n man supposed to be

that the remains were taken into
Jungo and that an inquest is being
held there today.

This morning the Humboldt river
is covered with ice for its entire
width and navigation is closed foi
the season. Ice in the sloughs is
about three inches thick and max

every twenty-four hours. 1t is
probable that the ice harvest will
commence in about two weeks, pro-
viding the weather remains cold.
Yesterday afternoon Judge
Quicker sentenced V. A. Laughlin to
an indeterminate term in the state
penitentiary, of from one to four.

Slim, Shrill Hebrew

The officers of the law of the
communities adjacent to Las Vegas
are on the lookout for one Willie
Gear, who with his wife and three
children are making their getaway
n a stolen Ford car. Gear is a
tall, slim Jew, with a shrill voice.
He has been about town for several
days peddling knife sharpeners on
pthe street. He drove into Las
Vegas in Ford car, which he sold
shortly after his arrival here. He
afterward borrowed the car in order
to do little repair work on it,
and last Monday he disappeared,

ury Wadsworth will soon sail for
Paris to represent the United States
at conference to consider German
payments for the cost of the armies
of occupation. The allied govern
ments have acknowledged that the
American claim for payment is
to be treated on an equality with
their own. The American forces
on the Rhine have cost about $780,
100000 to date, all of which con
stitutes a preferred claim against
Germany under the terms of the
Versailles treaty.

Too Much Water

90 Much water
L. P. Palmer of the general land
office arrived here last week, and
proceeded to Metropolis where he
will investigate land at that place
which comes under the Carey act.
The purpose of his investigation is
to determine whether or not there
is sufficient water stored there to
Justify granting patents to the land
holders under that act.
Metropolis farmers in this dis
trict are going through the same
experience as those who have
ranches on the Newlands project at
Fallon. 1t takes less and less water
every year to irrigate the crops
due to the rising water level in the
valley, and it will not be many
years before the problem will be
one of drainage rather than OF
irrigation.
The fact that there is so much
available water in the reservoir
would seem to mean that the pat.
ents are almost sure to be granted
and should this be true it will be
the first case in the state of Ne.
vada where an irrigation company
has been formed, the land taken W
and carried through to a patent un.
der the provisions of the Carey
act.-Elko Free Press.

When the Republicans enacted
the present internal revenue law
the statement was made that it
would remove about $500, 100000
from the taxpayers burdens. How
conservative that estimate was is
shown by the annual report of the
commissioner of internal revenue
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1922. Collections in that year were
approximately 81, 100000, 900 below
those for 1921. That figure rep
resents the actual relief experienced
by the taxpayers in the application
of the new Republican law.

Raised Old Nick!--
Nick Yiupptukis of McGill was
placed under arrest last Monday by
Sheriff Nicholson upon a complaint
sworn to by Probation Officer
Haley, for selling cigarettes to
school children. He was given a
trial in Justice McDonald's court on
Tuesday and drew down fine of
$50 and costs of the case, amount
ing to $40, in addition to which
he was given lecture on the laws
of the country. When the defend
ant was placed under arrest he
seemed to think the matter was a
joke, but when he paid the fine, he
considered it as serious matter.
Defendant is connected with the
London pool hall at McGill.-Ely

in THE EYE OF THE CAMERA
By X. O'Daker

That Minnesota congressman who
instigated the impeachment pro
ceedings against Attorney General
Daugherty may have been inspired
by the best of motives, but those of
US who are without partisan preju-
dice and have kept in close touch
with the movements of the at
torney general will not be hard to
persuade to believe that the at
torney generals statement to the
effect that the move was prompted
by war grafters, profiteers, and
other sinister influences, is substan-
TALLY true. This is about the only
thing that the man who is acquiring
some little notoriety has ever done
to bring the name of Congressman
Keller into printed relief and he
seems to take 40 little delight in
basking in the glare of the spotlight
No man dares do those things that
Mr.. Daugherty has dared to do and
expect to escape attempts to blast
his career. Failure to impeach
Daugherty should be followed by
the expulsion of Keller from con-
gress. Eradication of cattle ticks
has engrossed the attention of intel
ligent workers for some little time
and no less attention should be
given to the subjugation, if not
determination, of those pests that
annoy the human family.
