Gov. C. Ben Ross has received many

for q period Of three months or more.
Some feel that effects Of the national

accordingly have asked that tax de-
lnquency headlines be set ahead until
that time.
Attorney General Miller declares that
q tax holiday proclamation lies beyond
the authority Of the Governor.
I'VE are not unmindful Of the fact
that a further extension of the due date
for the payment Of delinquent taxes for
the years 1928 to 1891. inclusive, 50 as

Reports from Washington that Mr..

up speculation concerning the 1886
glbernatorial campaign. Because Of his
continued and successful opposition to

RENO, New, January 13.-There is
a noticeable improvement in retail busi-
ness conditions in this part Of Nevada,
according to a canvass made by Reno
Chamber of Commerce ofhcials. 1t is
directly traceable to C. w. A. pay rolls,
but it has made the merchants feel en-
couraged.
Each week the C. w. A. pay roll is
increasing throughout the State, AND
hopes are expressed that an increased
allotment for Nevada may be obtained
for two reasons-to keep men and
women employed ard make q pay roll.
and to do some badly needed work
which might not be done under other
conditions.
That the pay roll will be increased
was indicated q day or SO ago when
C w. Creel, State c. w. A. administra-
tor received word from Washington that
$40 men had been added to the Nevada
quota for airport work. They will be
nlaced at work clearing and preparing
emergency landing fields for airplanes.
It is estimated that c. w. A. expendi-
lures will exceed 5000 900 this month in
Nevada including materials.
Foremost in the Nevada news this
last week was a series Of stories in the
Sacramento Bee, widely circulated here,
in which Frank H. Norcross. United
States district Judge and circuit judge
designate, and william Woodburn, dis
trict udge-designate, were attacked for
their alleged afiliation and close asso-
citation with the George Wingfeld polit-
ical machine.
The Bee, in an editorial published
Saturday, declared President Roosevelt
should withdraw the nominations OF
Norcross and Woodburn. The nomina-
tions are now before the Senate for
confirmation and much curiosity Is ex-
pressed here as to whether there will
be favorable Senate action on the NOM
nations.

T. C. Spaulding State director Of re-

than half Of the unemployed OF Mon
tana put on jobs the State might be
able to meet relief emergencies In 1884
with the sum of $750,000, instead Of
the earlier estimate Of $1,500 900. Mr..
Spaulding, who in addition to being
in charge Of relief work through Mon

program, said conditions had greatly
changed In the past few weeks and
there is hope Of continued absorption
Of the unemployed next Spring. He
reported that in the State at the pres
ent time about Is 900 persons are be-
ing employed on civil works projects,
about 1000 on snow projects, about
$500 on purely Federal work and about
500 on flood rehabilitation. In addi-
ton. the p. w. A. has taken about

added in 1884. Montana ranked among
the foremost States in the Union in 1888
in securing labor legislation, said Mr..
Graham.
