shedding in the Australian elections
month ago, and at the time polit-

as yet indicate the exact reason for
the Premier's resignation but it is
believed the country party which
fought Hughes and his candidates at
the polls with considerable bitter
ness over the question of financial
policy finally became too strong for
the weakened condition.
Hughes was in much the same
position as Lloyd George found him
self last year; he headed a coalition
that thrived on patriotism in
war times but which has steadily
weakened by development OF party
split in politics within the past two
years. The country party and the
liberals were against Hughes, who
had a few supporters among the la

LOAN ASSOCIATION DECLARES
SEVEN PER CENT DIVIDEND

The Northern Nevada Loan As
sociation, which has been instru-
mental in bringing in more than
half a million dollars of war f.
nance corporation money, for the
financial relief Of northern Nevada
stock men, was organized one year
ago today, and that the enterprise
was successful from the stockholders
standpoint is attested by the fact
that today dividend checks repre-
senting seven per cent of the in
vested capital are being mailed out,
according to j. Sheehan, manager
of the concern. A meeting of the
board of directors of the Northern
Nevada Loan Association will be
held in this city some time during
the next sixty days to determine
whether the concern will be con-
verted to a national organization to
operate under the provisions of the
rural credits act, in which case its
scope of activity. capitalization and
loaning power would be greatly in
creased.

proceedings against the
Quinn River water users, which

Gus since the supreme court ruling
upheld the ruling of District Judge
Hart that persons accused of con-
tempt may not demand a jury trial.
but may be sumarily punished. The
trial case arose when the district
Judge found several ranchers of
northern Humboldt county guilty of
of court, in that they had
used water in spite of a court re-
straining order. In accordance with
an act of the legislature passed sew
erai years ago, the water users de-
manded a jury trial, which was
refused by Judge Hart on the
ground that the Legislative act was
unconstitutional and he imposed
nnes for the alleged offenses. There
after the water users appealed to
the supreme court, resulting in SUBJ
sequent decision that Judge Hart
was correct in declaring the law in
valid. The water users now ask for
new hearing in the matter.

COUNTY TAX RATE
81 CENTS HIGHER

Subsequent to a meeting of the
county commissioners held last
Thursday, comes the final report as
to the tax rate for Humboldt county
for 1923. The rate is fixed at
$1.092 on each one hundred dollars
property valuation, being three and
two-tenths cents above the 1922
rate of $1.06. This additional
taxation is attributed to the rul-
ings of state tax authorities fixing
lower rates Of assessments on differ
ent classes of livestock, thus lessen
ing the county's assessable property
valuations.
The board also took under advise
ment the building of an operating
room at the county hospital at an
estimated cost of $500. Favorable
consideration was granted this issue
and the tax levy fixed to provide
for this much-needed addition to
the local institution.
Under provisions issuing from the
repeal of the Nevada prohibition
law, Mrs. Francis Vandermade.
county hospital superintendent, was
appointed by the board to make ap-
plication for intoxicating liquors
to be used for medicinal purposes
at the county hospital.
The $55 monthly rate of mothers
pension for Mrs. Rose Danforth
was reduced to SIS per month, by a
vote of the board.

RESIGNS AS
PRESIDENT FARM BUREAU

M. c. Eastman, president of the
Humboldt County Farm Bureau, has
rendered his resignation to the
board of directors of that organiza-
ton, to become effective at a board
meeting to be held April 20. Mr..
Eastman ascribes as reason for
this action the pressing nature Of
private business and recommends
that some retired rancher in VIM
nemucca be named in his place who
will have time to properly attend
to the many duties involved. Since
his election to the office some time
ago it has been very apparent that
it was Mr.. Eastman's desire to in
ject some energy into the position
that the organization might flourish,
and finding that such activity has
drawn too heavily upon his time,
and not wishing to continue in the
place unless he could give it his
best attention. reached the conclu-
sion to resign.

MRS. JOHN DODDS
CALLED BY DEATH
End Came Last Night Following .
Parslytic Stroke, Bringing to .
Close an Illness of More
Than Seven Years

Following seven years of more or
less constant suffering, Mrs. John
Dodds of this city passed to the
great beyond at $40 o'clock last
night, at her home on West Fourth
street. Between the time her hus-
band left for his work yesterday
morning and his return at noon for
lunch, Mrs. Dodds suffered a para
lytic stroke from which she never
regained consciousness. Mr.. Dodds
found her in a stupor and re-
mained with her until the end.
Lola Fern Dodds was born in Ne
vada, Iowa, January IL, 1868, be-
ing 65 years old at death. Had
she lived until the 29th day of this
month she and Mr.. Dodds would
have celebrated their thirty-seventh
wedding anniversary, they having
been married that number of wears
ago at Mrs. Dodds' homeplace, Ne
vada, Iowa.
Surviving are the husband, John
Dodds, well known and respected
yardmaster for the Western Pa
cific company in this city, and two
sisters, Mrs. s. P. Wright of Los
Angeles, and Mrs. j. C. Hillman of
Binghampton, New York, who visited
at the Dodds' home here last fall.
With her husband, Mrs. Dodds came
to Winnemucca during 1918 and
had resided here continuously since.
Regardless Of her own certain
fatal affliction, Mrs. Dodds was
known here as one Of Winnemucca's
kindest and most considerate resi-
dents, a trait which was reflected in
the husband, who during her life
time spared no effort or expense
to ease her declining years. When
sickness was present in other homes
it was always Mrs. Dodds who was
tirst to bring assistance, even though
at times she was probably in greater
physical distress than those she
helped. During recent years she
has been practically bedridden. and
the end came probably as a de-
vine blessing to end suffering. life
being snuffed out during uncon-
sciouness.
The body is at the funeral home
OF VIM. W. Grayson, where it NAV
be viewed this evening, tomorrow
and until train time Saturday morn
ing, when Mr.. Dodds will accompanv
it on train No. 20 to the old home
at Nevada, Iowa, where interment
will occur. Funeral services will be
held at the funeral home tomorrow
afternoon at ESQ o'clock to be con-
