AGGREGATE TAXES PAID
ALMOST STAGGERING
The total taxes levied and paid in
Lincoln county each year is equiva
lent to a shade over twenty dollars
for each man, woman and child in tho
county. At first thought that may not
seem large, but when It is stated that
tho total levied In tho county last year
for all purposes state, county, school
and precinct was $343,770, tho sum
seems almost staggering. It is equal
to the total earning capacity of 439
laboring men working 300 days a year
at an averago wage of $2.50 per day.
In a majority of tho counties of tho
state the taxes levied In 1915 wore
greater than in 1914, but in Lincoln
county tho total levied was about
$2,500 less.

ELKS 3IAKE 3IERRY AT
ANNUAL STAG BANQUET
COYOTE KILLED WHILE
TRAIN IS IN MOTION.
Mirth music and good fellowship
held sway at the Elks' Homo for four
hours Saturday night when tho fifth
annual stag banquet was held. This
annual event is hold to speed tho part
ing year and welcome the advent of
the now a gathering when tho disap
pointments of the past twclvo months
aro forgotten nnd only bright hopes
of tho future aro held.
Tho Elks assembled at tho home at
eight o'clock and a few minutes there
after Steward Smith wreathed In his
brightest smiles, marshaled the forces
to tho third iloor and to stirring mu
sic by Stamp's orchestra, tho oho
hundred nnd ten banquetors surround
ed tho flower-bedecked tables. A toast
to tho fifth annual banquet was drank,
and upon being seated a splendid four
course dinner was served by Caterer
Hupfer. The courses wero dollghtful-
ly prepared, efficiently served, and
throughout reflected creditably upon
the man who had evidently spared
neither timo nor expense to have ev
erything first-class, and certainly
llrst-clnss s the word. Upon being
seated each diner was provided with
a paper hat or cap of various fantas
tic designs, some of which gavo tho
wearers a grotesquo appearance Dur
lngthe meal the' orchestra played pop
ular song airs and tho banqueters
sang with n heartiness that mado the
building resound with music most tune
ful. Thousands of yards of paper rib
bons of various hues wero thrown nnd
at times the big liall was a labyrinth
of tiny streamers.
At tho conclusion of the dinner, O.
E. Elder, as toastmastor, proposed
four toasts which wero responded to
by Davo Day, Tom Healoy, Roy Coch
ran and W. T. Wilcox, the two lat
ter acting as substitutes for Lorcn
Sturges and P. F. Barron, who could
not be present. These toasts wero
anecdotnl in nature and brought forth
round after round of applause. Be
tween the toasts Chrlstlo W. Adams,
the professional female Impersonator
and classic dancer, appeared thrice,
each timo differently costumed in mod
ern gowns-. His impersonations were
wonderfully clover nnd his dancing
truly tho pootry of motion. Until told
thnt tho dancer was a male, tho ban
queters thought that they woro being
entertained by a femnlo. Mr. Adams
work is certainly fine, nnd ho was the
feature of tho ovenlng.
Tho banquet closed wth tho rendi
tion of "Auld Lang Syne," and prompt
ly at 11:55 tho lights wero extinguished
and the merry-makers departed.
At tho close of business December
31, 1915, thero was no indebtedness
