BUILDS
NEW HOME

William Swaill, the progressive
rancher, who purchased the old Reg
an ranch on the Carson river last
spring, has made the ranch over
since he took it in hand. He has
leveled a large tract of land which
never before was fit for cultivation,
and recently has torn down num-
ber of old, shaky buildings and is
replacing them with new, servicable
ones. The new residence building has
just been completed, and is great
improvement, and one which will add
many times its cost to the value of
the ranch.-Carson News.

HAY|NC STARTS
IN THIS VALLEY.
FIRST CROP ALFALFA RE-
PORTED SHORT, CAUSED
BY COLD WEATHER.

Many OF the farmers of Carson Val
ley started cutting the first crop of
Alfalfa this week Although the crop
is far below normal on most ranches
this step has been deemed advisable
because Of the fact that growth has
practically stopped. This condition
was brought about by continued heavy
frosts that stunded the alfalfa crop
Farmers hope, through the early
cutting of the first crop, to bring
about heavy yield of second growth
alfalfa and II possible, compensate
for the shortage of alfalfa now be-
ing cut.
Monday and Tuesday, although the
weather was anything but favorable
for haying, and with rain threating.
cutting went ahead on many of the
farms.
On a few farms the first crop of
alfalfa gives promise of normal
yield but this condition is not gem
eral by any means. Small first crops
are most pronounced on ranches
where sheep were pastured until late
In the spring.
From the fact that many of the
Western Nevada counties, where al
falfa is the principal crop, stand
under the ban OF quarantine because
of the appearance of weevil. it seems
that Carson Valley hay. will be in
heavy demand this fall, since this
county is free from quarantine, no
weeyil having been found here.
Gran crops in Carson Valley con-
tinue TO look we'll and unless some
thing unforeseen occurs between now
and harvesting time, a normal yield
will result.

TAHOE ROUTE
REPORTED BEST

Autoists are being advised by W. M.

ports of travellers, is in fairly good
condition, and the use of skid chains
Is not necessary.
The Truckee summit rote is passa-

been manifested by tourists who have
been compelled to make a detour of
22 miles between Colfax and Auburn,

GETS
TAX MONEY

Four counties have made returns to
the state from taxes collected for the
second half of 1922, and two others,
Eureka and Washoe, have sent re-
ports but no money.
Lyon county's collection of state
taxes amounted to s33,770,2S; Min
erals was $13,010.45; Douglas sent
$12,064.2 and Ormsby s4.5S6.43. We
shoe reported that $102,147.SO has
been collected and Eureka reported
$21,51S1S.
While some of the reports were
higher than the figures given, the
counties secure a refund as the states
share of some of the county officers
salaries. This refund will not be
made on tax collections from now
on for the reason that the law call
ing upon the state to stand share
of county officers salaries has been
repealed, says the Gazette.

MAGRUDER BEALL
Continued from first page)

the next morning at Mojave ga
miles away. No gun was found
ION him. He was arrested and is
lstill in Jail pending investigation
In making inquiries Il. G. Beall,
Jr,, was informed by woman
hotel keeper at johannesburg that
within a short time there were five
hold-ups on the desert staged in
the same manner: man lying in
the road as was Raymond. She
also informed him that Raymond
! is hard citizen, following the oc-
cupation Of cook and general
Iroustabout, and not a mining engi-
neer as reported III the press. She
| also was authority that the young
man found asleep in the Ford is a
low class man, not above partici-
Ipating in a robbery.
One feature was that Mr.. Gen
Itilli had a revolver in his hands
when he got out to examine the
man in the road. In the excite
ment it was dropped and it was
thought that it might have been
accidently discharged. However,
this theory was exploded by the
finding of the gun by the stage
driver early next morning.
None of the cartridges had been
discharged and the barrel was
bright and clean.
The sheriff held Mr.. Rosaia S
car and took the jury out to the
scene of the shooting and reacted
lit. The opening between the car
door and Tie metal strip that held
1.-THE curtain was so narrow that the
sheriff, no mean shot, was hardly
liable to send a bullet through it
even at close range, to show the
manner in which Mr.. Beall was
struck. In the almost total dark
hiss it was just a chance shot that
did the mischief.
L. G. Beall, Jr., is of the opin-
| ion that if Raymond was not a
member of hold-up gang and
acting as decoy that perhaps he
drew a gun and fred the fatal
shot because of grievance fathered
by a befuddled brain. Fears are
entertained that his gun will new
er be found and that there will
not be evidence to convict him
even though he be guilty.

Resolution and Tribute.

Whereas, the members of the
Vashon Marketing association as
neighbors and friends of the late
Magruder Beall, are inexpressibly
Shocked and panied by the news
of his sudden, mtimely and dis
tressing death by an assasin's bull
let while in the prime vigor of
early manhood and the active ex-
ercise of his faculties, and
Whereas, his untimely demise
removes from our midst, one of
our most active and respected
citizens, and a highly esteemed
and competent neighbor and
friend and has also cruelty de-
prived his family of loving
father and husband, and broken
many other close family ties,
Now, therefore, be it resolved
by this association as follows:
First: That we express our pro
found sorrow for this shocking.
unjustifable and reprehensible
act, which, without warning, has
stricken down a neighbor and
plunged this community in sorrow
for the loss of one of its most re-
spected citizens.
Second: To the sorrowing wife,
children and relatives of Magrud
er Beall deceased, we hereby ex-
tend our most sincere and heart
felt sympathy in this, their hour
of the crushing and painful be-
|reavement.
Further, we pledge to them not
sympathy alone, but also every as
sistance which loving friendship
and the spirit of neighborly kind
ness can render, or which may as
sist in a measure to tighten the
burden which they have been
called upon to bear.
That copy of these resolutions
be signed by the officers of the as
ISOLATION and be presented to the
family of Magruder Beall and
published in the Vashon Island

Kansas City Man Believed to Have

Kansas City, Mo-, July 19.-The
bodies of w. M, Mcclure, "a, promi-

lay today in the undertaking rooms
in which they met death last night.

Fred Webb, negro porter, found
Mcclure bending over Mrs. Thomp-
sons body at the bottom of an ele-
vator shaft last night and was ordered
by Mcclure to call physician. When
two physicians arrived to examine the
body Mcclure left the room. A
search for him a short time afterward
revealed his body lying on an under
takers slab in the morgue, knife
used in port mortem examination pro-

Possibility that Mcclure was swept
to his death by suicidal tendency was
suggested in the memory of the sui

BRITAIN FEELS SURE
Terms Will SATISFY
Reparations Text Is Not
Ready But Opinion Is
France Will Be Pleased
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
London, July 19.-The British cabi.
net held a protracted session this
morning at which the proposed rep
aration documents formed the main
topic of discussion. Up to the early
afternoon 1t was still uncertain
whether the draft reply to Germany
and the accompanying note would be
forwarded to the other governments
including the United States, tonight
At 1:40 o'clock the cabinet was stu
in session.
1t was still regarded as possible that
another meeting of the ministry might
be required.
1t is thought possible that the doo-
uments. when completed may en-
brace a third one, in the nature of an
explanatory memorandum setting
forth points not contained In the draft
reply or the covering letter.
The newspapermen who have kept
vigil on the reparations problem In
its torturous course through the for
eign chancellories have witnessed the
return In an intensified form OF the
old pre-war secret diplomacy.
1t is conceivable. however. that II
the present efforts fail all the docu-
ments will be handed to the news
papermen in order to Justify the gov
ernment's policy.
In spite of the extreme tsciturnity OF
the ministers 1t has been learned from
other reliable sources that the draft
reply will furnish what Great Britain
believes to be an adequate basis for
fruitful discussion among the allies
and an ultimate accord on the funda-
mental points of difference with
France, In the British view the
advanced will be of such
a liberal character that France cannot
afford to reject them without risking
the disapproval of the world.
