the evening of September 9, after mak
ing the trip from Reno north over a
narrow gaugerailway, an automobile, a
boat ride across the lake, and then a
fifteen mile ride in a carriage from the
end of the lake to the town. They were
fortunate in getting over the lake before
the boat stranded, making it aeoessary
for the others to sround the lake in or
der to reaoh the town. Theallotingwas
commenced the next day after their
arrival, and the following is the result:
P. J. McCaffrey, ten'acres; Tim Hogan,
ten acres, George Turner,, forty acres; G.
A. Neitsel, ten acres; Chauneey Hagel,
ten acres; George Window, twenty acres
Mont Duncan, twenty aores; Carl Schu

the road up they had an excellent view
of Mount 8hssts. They all report they
are having a good time, and the fisher
men in the party are going to put in a
day at the lake so they can tell of the
wonderful catches to be made there.
Most of the party expected to leave for

larger company is employed, more beauti
ful scenery and costly effects together

song hits of the season will be heard. A
handsomely dressed chorus is a big fea
ture, which display some stunning gowns
and new novelties in a way that will
satisfy the most sceptical. All in all
"The Prise Winners" is by f sr the largest
and best production the Lyman Twins
hsveever presented.
Looking over the old records in County
Clerk Grafs office to find out just what
Platte county corporations come under
the proviaionsof the law recently passsd
by congress, Deputy Internal Revenue
Collector O. N. Stukey of this district
was carrying out his part of the law.
Under the new law passed this summer
all corporations having a net income of
over $6,000 are liable for a tax of one
per cent on all over that amount, and it
to the deputy collector's dnty to look
over the records and report those liable
for taxation. In looking over the re
cords the deputy collector began at the
first, and it is really surprising to note
how many corporations have been form
ed in Platte county since its organiza
tion. October 5 to the day for holding pre
cinct primaries to nominate precinct
officers, and County Clerk Graf is send
ing out certificates for that purpose to
the precinct committeemen of the var
ious political parties. This year there
are six precinct officers to be elefted
treasurer, clerk, justice, constable, road
overseers and sssessors. This to one
more than last year, as the last legisla
ture passed a law taking the appointing
of precinct assessors away from the co
unty assessor and giving the precincts
the right to say who their assessor shall
be and this lsst change to one that Is
appreciated, both by the people and the
county
