.FALLON Wins.
FROM DOUGLAS
Home Boys Go Up
Against Sc a son e d
Players in First Game

The newly formed football team
of the Douglas high school, went to
Fallon last Saturday and met the
high school team of that place in the
first regular game. The Fallon boys
walked all over the Douglas eleven,
the final score being l02 to 0.
The outstanding feature of the
game was the fact that Douglas, al
though outplayed aud hopelessly
beaten. was fighting harder at the
finish than at any other stage OF the
game. Coach Lewis is well satisfied
with the showing made by the Doug
las team. and is convinced that in
due time his boys will develop into
a strong team.
While the defeat was decisive
enc. It has not discouraged the Doug
las lads In the least They are
noyices at the game, having only
been playing the game for three
weeks. In the game with Fallon the
Douglas boys learned many tricks OF
football playing. They expect, with
proper coaching to develop a
strong team and later in the season
will play the Churchill county team
again.

TAX ON SALES
NOT TURNED In
Federal Tax Due or
all Real Estate Sales
Says Collector

Investigations conducted by field
deputies of the Internal Revenue
Service indicate that hundreds of
taxpayers in the district of Nevada
have neglected, intentionally or
otherwise to include in their returns
for 1920, 1921 and 1922, profits rea-
lized from the sale of real estate. ac-
cording to Collector Spellier, who
several weeks ago ordered a rigid
probe to be made of suspected evas-
ions of income regulations.
In order to close up the Govern
ment tax net, the Collector has
ordered that transcript be made of
all doubtful transfers. A careful
investigation will be made If all
these files, to determine whether or
not the sales involved have been re-
ported upon the income tax returns.
Collector Spellier suggested that all
persons who failed to include the
profit realized from real estate sales
call at his office, or file amended re-
turns, as ii is the policy of the
heavy penalties when the disclosure
or failure to include income are
Voluntarily made by taxpayers.
1t is my belief that the failure of
many taxpayers to include real es-
tate profits in their returns was due
to an erroneous Interpretation of the
income tax laws, and to misleading
publicity that was given out prior to
the ruling of the United States Su-
preme Court, hiding that such gains
were taxable income under the reve-
nue. laws Collector Spellier stated.
In cases where the taxpayer does
not voluntarily DISCLOSE items of
income that were omitted, and where
the gains from real estate sales have
not been reported, the Collector said
that it would be necessary to assert
full penalties from all returns where
the investigation disclosed the fail
ure of the taxpayer to include real
estate gains in his income tax re-
urns.

HEAVY STORMS
VISIT VALLEY
Rain Falls Here While
Snow Covers Sur
rounding Mountains

October has started out as a month
of early storms, and has rather up
set weather precedents in this local
ity. During the past week the rain
fall in Carson Valley has been un-
usually heavy and snow covered the
mountains to the floor of the valley
Sunday morning. Farm work, such
as digging potatoes, has been held
up, pending more favorable weather,
an in some instances late hay crops
remain in the field. However, the
latter is not general and the loss
If any, will be light.
Reports from the mountains state
that the fall of snow in the higher
attitudes is quite heavy and will form
substantial base for the heavy
SHOWS of winter.
The storm has improved road con-
ditions in the Valley desite the fact
that a few of the highways are
slighly muddy
Unless it turns extremely cold, the
storm will be Of great benefit to

being fed.
