TAX LEAGUE
INVESTIGATING

With a view to discussing prob
able tax reductions in the various
counties of Nevada, the state survey
commission, created by the 1923 leg
islature, has suggested a conference
to be held during October to be at
tended by representatives of the sew
enteen Nevada counties and members
of the commission, says the Journal.
Jerry Sheehan, chairman of the
commission, in a letter to the Wa
shoe county commissioners yesterday
asked that delegate be named to
represent Washoe county at the meet
ing.
Investigations being made of pub
lie expenditures by the commission
have been practically completed, the
letter said, and financial experts are
now getting ready the report to be
presented to the 1925 state legisla-
ture.
Since the state levies but one-half
as much in taxes as the counties, the
commission realizes the necessity of
greater economy in county expendi-
lures if the tax burden is to be re-
duced or curbed.
1t believes that long step in this
direction will be made by holding a
general conference of county COM
missioners, or representatives of all
counties in the state at which meth
ods and costs of administering coun-
ty affairs would be compared and
discussed"

LUTHERAN CHURCH
TO HEAR E. CLOCK

Sunday, August 10 promises to be
a red-letter day in the annals of
Trinity Lutheran church of this
place. For the first time in it's his
tory it will be privileged to hear one
of its own sons from it's pulpit. Mr..
Ernest Clock, recent graduate of
Concordia Seminary, at Springfield,
ILL.,, who is visiting relatives in the
valley prior to entering upon his
ministry in Clifford, Idaho, will de-
liver a timely sermon on the subject:
"The Folly of the Fool That Saith in
his Heart, There Is No God
This is a timely and interesting
topic, tho it sounds like rather harsh
Judgment upon the unbeliever. And
it is just that. But judgement pro-
nounced by God and not by man.
"The fool hath said in his heart,
there is no God" is the verdict of
the Lord, Psalm IA, 1. The speaker
will have something pertinent and in
structive to say on this subject.
Rev. Felten and the members of
Trinity Lutheran church extend a
cordial invitation to all without a
church-home in the community. The
Sunday school meets at the regular
hour.

File Complete Report
Report 1es Complete Figures of Storage Projects Upper
larson River Contemplated by Federal Government
and Private Individuals in the Carson Valley

After discussing the matter of the
proposed adjudication of Carson river
water rights this afternoon the board
of directors of the Truckee- arson
irrigation district took the position
that such negotiations and proceed
ings should be instituted by the
United States government and not
by the local board of this place.
Members of the board believed that
such adjudication is federal and
not local responsibility, and they
will make such recommendation to
the interior department, says the
Reno Gazette.
To the Board of Directors,
Truekee-carson Irrigation District,
Fallon, Nevada.
Dear Sirs:
In response TO your request for an
opinion as to the advisability of Sc
curing an adjudication of the various
Carson river water rights and prior
tiles, we have to say that upon exam
ining the records of the reclamation
bureau at Fallon, and particularly the
John F. Richardson report on condi-
tions existing upon the Carson river
as of 1913, we find that on May 26,
1903, the United States government
filed a notice at the present Lahon-
tan reservoir site appropriating 5000
cubic feet per second for the purpose
of irrigation and other beneficial
uses on lands within the basin of the
Carson river in Churchill county in
the state of Nevada, it be-
ing the intention to impound the said
waters when the same is not required

Some eleven or twelve small reser-

of the Carson river having an esti-

about 1000 acre feet in the aggre-

In addition to the above mentioned

Nevada sheep commission and the
Nevada live stock commission, as
well as by DR.. Houck, in charge of

JACK RAYCRAFT
PASSES AWAY
Drove Covered Wagon Over
Plains When He Was Boy
But Fifteen Years of Age

Jack Raycraft, one of the best
known citizens of Western Nevada,
died at his home in Genoa early Sat
urday morning, following an illness
of many months. In the early stage
of his illness he faced his suffering
with great fortitude. As days passed
into months he still maintained that
indefatigable spirit SO characteristic
of his whole life. Finally when he
realized that there was no hope for
his recovery he let the reins of life
slip through his fingers and well
coined peace-that peace promised all
mankind in everlasting life. His
wish was gratified Saturday morn
ing a few hours after he had reach
ed the age of 76 years.
Few men have lived the exemplary
life of Jack Raycraft. He was the
very embodiment of the western
spirit not only in The physical ap-
tearance but in every trait. He WIS
ever thoughtful in the consideration
Of others, a citizen of the highest
ideals and a friend of the rarest
type.
Deceased was born at Woodstock,
Illinois, August 1, Is48. His parents
resided there until deceased was Is
years of age. Stories Of the great
vest continued to excite the East
and Mr.. Raycraft's parents sold out
their interests in Illinois, purchased
OK teams and started to the land of
pi omise. The fifteen year old boy
was placed in charge of one of the
OK teams and drove covered wagon
across the plains.
Some years after arriving in Ge-
noa, Jack Raycraft and his brothers
secured mail contracts and for many
years operated stages between Car
son City and Genoa and from the
latter place to Bodie.
In those early days the old style
concord coaches were used and were
drawn by four and six spirited
horses. Jack Raycraft was an ex-
pert horseman and aside from man.
aging the business often drove stages
over his lines. Besides the stage
lines livery stables were conducted
at Genoa and Carson City and in
those days were as essential in the
transportation problems as the. ga
rage is today.
Through his early day business
ventures Mr.. Raycraft gained wide
acquaintanceship throughout Nevada
and was one of the best known men
in this section.
In recent years deceased lead a
quiet life and was content to remain
in the town which was the scene of
his activity for over half a century.
He is survived by one sister, Mrs.
James L. Campbell of Genoa, and
three brothers, Ed Raycraft of Ge-
noa, Richard Raycraft of Manhattan,
and Arthur Raycraft of Tonopah.
The funeral services were held at
Masonic hall in Genoa Tuesday af-
ternoon, deceased having been a
member of Douglas lodge +. & A. NJ.
for over forty years. The services
were largely attended by people of
this and other communities. Inter
ment took place in Genoa cemetery.
