VISITS EUREKA

State Engineer G. scrugham ar
rived In Eureka Thursday evening
after running into a washout at the
foot of Austin canyon, about four
miles west of Eureka. that came near
putting his auto out Of business. The
heavy rain early Thursday morning
washed out the culvert at this point,
and as this section of the road is
always hard and generally in good
condition Mr.. Scrugham had stepped
ON the gas and was coming along at
a good clip when he came to the
washout and was unable to check
the car sufficiently to prevent the
front wheels from dropping into the
opening. No serious damage was
done, and after gathering rocks and
brush the hole was built up enough
to enable the car to cross over and
he came into Eureka without further
trouble. Mr.. Scrugham was on his
way to Duckwater, but stated his
present visit there was not on ac-
count of any water trouble or dispute
as all matters along this line had ap-
parently been satisfactorily settled.
Mr.. Scrugham confirmed the reports
Of his candidacy for Governor of Me-
vada, and stated that he expected to
resign the Office of State Engineer
within the next two months, or as
soon as he could arrange several i'm
norfaut ruaffara that ware now naar-
ing settlement.

Esteemed Woman Of Eureka Is Called
To Final Rest Tuesday

Mrs. Margaret Taylor, wife of w.
g. Taylor, passed away at the family
home In Eureka Tuesday evening.
For several years she has been in
feeble health and her passing was
looked for at any time. At the end
her death was like the burning out
OF light; 1t dimmed, fiekered and
went out without giving warning to
those about her. Mrs. Lucy Gates.
who has lived with and taken care of
her mother, upon her return home
from her business duties that eve
ming found Mrs. Taylor about as usu-
al. In the performance of her custom
ary tasks she stepped from the room
a few moments. and upon returning
found that the old lady had peace
fully passed away.
The deceased was born in Belfast.
Ireland, and came to New York when
a small child, afterwards making her
home at Boston. where her first hus-
band died. She came west to Elko
In 1859. where she was married to
her late husband, and they removed
to Eureka In August. 1870, and have
since resided here. Her surviving
husband. 95 years OF age and of good
health, was her constant attendant
In the closing years of her life. She
was a maternity nurse here for years,
and many q Eureka mother has a
tender spot in her heart for the old
lady who Is now laid to her eternal
rest. At her request she was buried
in her wedding gown of grey Irish
poplin, worn SO years ago and which
she had saved all these years.
The deceased is survived by her
husband. w. Il. Taylor; her daughter.

TAX LEAGUE DIRECTOR
PAYS VISIT TO EUREKA

IN Fletcher, Director of the Ne
"a public Economy League. ar
,,~sd in Eureka Monday and has
.,.oa been engaged in going over
countv taxes and expenses with Coun-
- auditor Father, and In consulta-
ion with other County officials. and
w,,b J. B. Biale. who is the member
:, the Advisory Committee OF the
Yaague for Eureka County. Mr..
thatcher, who has been connected
.,,,h the State Tax Commission most
:, the time since 1914, states that
NJ Father is considered one Of the
most competent County Auditors in
the State.
The Nevada Public Economy
League is an association of taxpayers
organized for the purpose of securing
greater economy in running State
and County governments in the State.
Al the present time II Is engaged In
making a careful survey OF tax con-
ditions throughout the State In or
der to secure reliable data on which
~ base its future activities. II seeks
sueeestions and advice from all tax
nayers, and particularly from those
who have had experience as public
oa,cials in administering the affairs
of the counties. Its prime object is
IN secure reduction In taxation with
ont injury to the public welfare. 1t
"a a matter of general knowledge that
taxation has been steadily increasing
in Nevada for many years: but few
ueople realize how rapid this increase
has been until the exact figures are
placed before them. For example.
the State taxes levied In 1912
amounted to s606,023. and ten years
later, in 1921. they were $1,220.530.
an increase OF 101 per cent. Taxes
for County purposes in Eureka Coun-
tyin 1912 were $47,219. and in 1921
were sSs.0e3, an increase of 92 per
cent.
During this period of ten years the
world war has greatly increased the
cost of governments as of everything
else; and the State and counties of
Nevada have entered upon an era of
road building which is absorbing a
large amount of money raised by
taxation; and our increased school
facilities are responsible for a con-
siderable portion OF the big increase.
The League believes that too little
attention has been given to the mat
ter Of public economy by the public,
by public officials. and by taxpayers;
and that savings amounting In the
aggregate to large sum may easily
be effected by a closer attention to
the details Of cost in the administra-
tion of county and State govern
ments. II will be its purpose to CO.
operate with County and State off,
cials in this work; to assist them by
making public the comparative costs
OF the various counties. of all the de-
partments of the counties; and by
doing similar work in connection
with State affairs.
II will interest the taxpayers OF
Eureka County to note the increases
In county taxes by years since 1912.
which are as follows:

STRIKE
IN ILLINOIS
IS SETTLED

Chicago, III, August 23.-Work in
many of the Illinois coal mines was
recommended Wednesday. An agree
ment to settle the strike in that state
was reached Tuesday afternoon by
the subcommittee of Illinois oper-
ators and miners scale committees.
The settlement plan was simply a re-
newal of the 192l-22 wage contract.
which is in accord with the recent
Cleveland agreement for settlement
Of the nationwide coal strike which
began April /.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-The
cost Of the railroad strike is incalcul-
able, but staggering. The striking
railway shopmen have lost forty
working days since laying down
their tools July !. Approximately
four hundred thousand me + out
according to union officials, and 0 .
basis Of an 8-hour day they have lost
1923 million working hours. AT e
cents an hour this would have melted
them $89,600,OOO. What the strike
is costing railroads, through impair
ed equipment, loss Of business ane
strike guards, is only a matter o.
conjecture.

1921, while the number of sheep
brought onto farms was above that
of last year, but the number sold of
was five points greater.
One and seventy-two hundredths
inches of rain fell in Mexico from Z
o'clock Monday morning to Z O'Clock
Tuesday morning. The rain Monday
night was accompanied by much
thunder and there was a heavy blow
at A o'clock Tuesday morning.
The rain is almost too late to help
the early corn to any considerable
extent but will be helpful in adding
weight to she late corn and will be
beneficial to the cane, COW peas and
soy beans. 1t will also start the fall
pastures.
The rain thus far has been almost
sufficient for the corn, cane, soy
beans and COW peas but much more
is needed for the fall grass.
