QUIT CHASE
AFTER HORSE STEALER

Tonopah Times: Sheriff w. j.. Boz,

Deputy Jack ID. Grant from the Dr.
vide district and c. M. Van Fleet,
from Nye County, left. Monday on a
man hum that is expected to bring
out the best support from White Pine
and Eureka Counties in an effort to
run down an alleged cattle rustler
and allround bad man who recently
completed a parole from San Quentin.
where he was serving a term for
Staying a man in Inyo County.
Cliff Regan, the object of the
search, was out of the California pris-
on on a parole which expired January
II. Pending his official release, Reg
an lived in the vicinity of Oasis and
when he left that district two valu-
able horses were missed from the Mo-
lini ranch. Later, two other animals
were stolen from the vicinity of Gold
field and the natural inference was
that Regan knew something about
them since he was seen in the south
ern camp about the time of the dis
appearance. The posse leaving here
was bound for the Duckwater coun-
try, Currant Creek and down White
River. From Nyala clear across the
valley there is a foot of snow, some
thing never seen before in that coun-
try, and ON the SUBMITS it is said to
be from 3 to 5 feet deep. Regain is
reputed to be well armed and as
much at ease in the open or in the
saddle as most men are in their
homes.

FARM PROPERTY TO
BE ASSESSED LOWER
Township Officers Hold Meeting
To Equalize Taxes In All Sec.
tiOns of County

That assessments of Whatcom
County farm property would be
lowered on an average of 25 per
cent this season, is the deduction
that can be made following con-
ference of township officers in
Bellingham last week.
The townships are making a
serious effort to equalize assess
ments in all parts of the county.
At the conference, valuations
were discussed by the assessors,
and general plan of action
worked out, SO that the same
base levies will be followed out
in every township.
In the past, some townships
have been assessed on stiffer
scale than others, with the result
that some sections were bearing
more than their share of the bur-
den of taxation. 1t is hoped to
remove these inequalities this
year, as far as it is humanity pos
sible.
"Critics of the township form
afr gQexxssE.namsnt exs.a.n:. 70. forget that there re
found everywhere" said Conrad
Axling, president of the Town
ship Officers Organization today.
For instance, in the cities, there
are countless examples Of prop
critics that are taxed higher than
similar ones in other sections,
and these inequalities are bound
to crop up, as assessments can
not be made by machine. We
are doing our utmost in the
townships this year to see that
the assessments are made on as
equitable basis as possible, and
we expect the assistance of the
general public to see that this
end is reached. Greater cooper
alton would mean less criticism
when the final levies are made =

IMPROVEMENTS FOR
CITY PARK PLANNED
Fire-Places, Benches,
and Other Projects Under Way
Now

A series of improvements for
Lynden's city park, which are de-
signed to increase the usefulness
of the grounds, has been arrang-
ed under the direction of Park
Superintendent T. r. Burns, and
for the next few weeks, things
will be humming over there.
Everybody and everybody's
lodge or society, seems to be anx-
ious to have a hand in the i'm
provements, says Mr.. Burns, So
many things are needed on the
grounds that he is finding little
difficulty in furnishing work for
all
Walter X. Pixley, local archi-
techt, has designed a beautiful
entrance arch. and will supervise
its erection at once. On concrete
pediments. a classic arch of tim
bers will be raised. The name
of the park will appear carved
over the center, and thanked by
electric lights.
The Masonic Lodge has taken
over the building of fireplaces.
and the W. O. W. lodge will con-
struet rustic benches.
Frank Hawley will have charge
of the improvement of the SWIM
ming pool. The Dairy Associa-
tion has agreed to erect an at
tractive fence from the creek to
the entrance, and will improve
the site around their pump house.
The Boy Scouts under the di-
rection of Harold Knapp, are al
so planning to work on the
grounds.
The only discouraging thing in
connection with the management
of the park thus far has been
the destruction of fixtures there
by thoughtless boys. During the
winter, the pump has been brok-
en- off, the bath-house has been
destroyed the rope has been
pulled out of the flag-pole, tables
have been torn about. and stove
has been dumped into the creek.
This year, a series of regula-
tions will be posted. and arrests
will follow any destruction of the
park property, or abuses of park
privileges.
May 10, Wednesday night, will
be the first of the community
cleanup evenings at the grounds.
All are asked to reserve this
date.
