other trains, going in the opposite
direction. This being true it is rea-
sonable to suppose that Southern
Pacific officials will seek ways of
reducing operating costs by running
trains over longer divisions, and
nothing would be finer than to elm
mate one division point and run
trains, say, from Sparks to Winnie
mucca and from Winnemucca to
Wells, and from Wells to Ogden,
dividing the distances fairly equally
and eliminating Inlay, Carlin and
Montello as division points.
Another consideration is this /:
Can the Southern Pacific company
afford to run light engines and ca
booses to this city from Inlay to
pick up trains which may be hauled
here over the Western Pacific
tracks?
1t may be some more wild flights
OF IMAGINATION to even think that
the Southern Pacific might move
back to Winnemucca, but certainly
the matters as outlined above are
significant. Of course the railroad
company, if such be the case, might
desire to keep such information
from becoming public knowledge,
for the reason that men have a
proclivity for seeing opportunities
and later making railroads pay lib
orally for not having recognized the
same first, but the thought that the
terminal may be brought back here
is so pleasing as to indicate that
Others might like to indulge also
hence the publication of this story.

BUSINESS CHANGES
IN WINNEMUCCA RECENTLY

Three changes in business owner
ship have taken place during the
last week. Frank Oliverius, who for
years has conducted a tailoring and
cleaning establishment here, has sold
his interest in the business to his
partner, Lyle Minor, who will here
after conduct the store under the
name of Minors" Mr.. and Mrs.
Oliverius and family will move to
some other location, perhaps in the
east, although a trip may be made
to Susanville to look over business
possibilities there. They are seek
ing buyer for their home recently
erected on West Third street.
A deal was completed Tuesday
whereby Carl Stolfelt, well known
business man of this city and Reno,
bought half interest in the Central
billiard hall from A. J. Shumate,

Quoted by the two men on a part

The third deal completed during
the week was the sale of Squires'
grocery store, which was purchased
by A. E. Organ from C. r. Squires.
Mr.. Organ is well known here and
has been assistant cashier at the
Winnemucea State Bank for several
years, from which position he will
shortly resign to assume manage

made no announcement concerning
future plans, but It is believed that

PONY EXPRESS RACE TO
BE BIGGEST IN HISTORY

kilograms flooding back from the
Pathfinding Expedition sent out by
the Pony Express celebration reveal
that the event has grown into the
biggest horse race in the history of
the West, and that probably means
the world, says the San Francisco
Examiner.
The army and cowboy teams, RI
walls in the 2000-mile contest. each
will have not less than $50 horses
and 80 riders. That will make a
total of 500 horses and 100 riders
taking part from the time the first
pair speed out of st. Joseph, Mis-
souri,, August 81, until the race
ends in San Francisco, September
10.
These numbers may De increased
by accidents, as each team will have
relief horses and riders following
close behind in auto trucks.

LIVE STOCK MEN
URGE CUT IN TAX

A reduction of sixty-five per cent
of its present value on meadow, pas
ture, grazing and mountain land
was asked of the state board of
equalization this morning by Ver-
non Metcalf secretary of the Nevada
Land & Live Stock Association,
who appeared before the board in
behalf of that organization.
Mr.. Metcalf continued that these
lands were now assessed at one hun
dred per cent of their valuation,
whereas other property, particularly
town property, is being assessed at
about sixty-fve per cent of its val
uation.
He also protested against what he
termed double taxation. AS an. in
stance, he cited cattle as crop of
the land and said the state was tax
ing the crop as well as the land
which was not the case with hay,
grain or other products of the soil.
AS an instance of the hardships
worked by the present system of
taxation against live stock, ne called
attention to a Lincoln county case
in which band of seven-year~old
steers had been taxed on valua-
ion of $32 per year for seven
years, or a total of 1924 valuation,
which he maintained resulted in a
tax which was almost confiscation
of the animals.
In answer to questions by men,
bers of the board he said it was inn
possible to get all the cattle and
sheep on the tax rolls, but said the
association took the number given
on the state tax books as a basis for
assessing its members for dues in
the organization.
Replying to another question, ne
said that the sheep inspectors fig
ures of the number of sheep in
spected could not be relied upon for
tax purposes because the inspector
often duplicated inspections. He
volunteered the information that the
forest service figures on grazing
animals would probably be the most
reliable, as a count of all animals
grazing within the reserve was care
fully kept.
Just before noon Mr.. Metcalf got
in an argument with Assessor Hays
of Washoe county upon a statement
made by Metcalf that when a stock
man bought a ranch to raise cattle
and was then obliged to buy more
land for range purposes that no re-
duction was taken off the range
land, it being assessed on the same
valuation as the other lands.
Mr.. Hays contended that when
such condition existed, he be-
lieved assessors generally reduced
the valuations on the ranch lands
to just figure, taking into con-
sideration the lands for grazing in
fixing the valuation.
Other matters pertaining to the
assessments of live stock were be-
ing discussed by Mr.. Metcalf late
this afternoon.-Reno Gazette.

be constructed. If any company
can deliver water on sagebrush land
anywhere there are always people
that want to buy that land and use
the water.
The land owned by the Southern
Pacific Company will be placed on
the market later for sale to people
who will use the water from the
Grass Valley irrigation ditch. II
was withdrawn to prevent specula-
tors from securing it and withhold
ing it from use until such time as
enormous profits might be realized
The irrigation project will bring
from one hundred to three hundred
families into the territory arounc
Winnemucca. These people will
have to eat food and wear clothes
Winnemucca will be the nearest
place they can buy them.
The children in these families will
have to attend school. Where else
will they go but to Winnemuca
A number of those families will
move into the city in the fall in or
der that the children may attend
school.
People that own farms and
ranches in this county are doing
that very thing today. During the
past two weeks five families have
moved to this city from farms ol
ranches so that their children may
attend school here.
These families moving into tn.
city have to spend money for hous.
rent, food and clothing, just tn,
same as the families living here al
the time. That money is bein,
spent in Winnemucca. Someon,
here is getting it.
