II ChooIS.-No tbdt Inc
building of a respectable shool house
in Carson City is in the minds of the
people, too much cannot be said and
written concerning the necessity for
such a building. The present school
houses are an outrage to the cOmmu-
nifty. True, the people of Carson are
heavily taxed-taxed perhaps beyond
their means; but did they not increase
their taxation by their own acts, and
for the purpose of increasing the tax
able property ofthe county? Then why
not repeat their acts and add a tritie to
the taxation when the benefit TO be de
rived is not a mere matter of specula-
ton. \. we'll arranged, we'll built and
properly graded public school will do
more toward bringing into u town
Il respectable class OF permanent resi-
dents than all the railroads ever built
can or will do. 1t may be argued that
we have a first class private school,
and If the public schOo Is not good
enough tor rich people they can pat
roniZe the private seminary. we
grant that the private school cannot
ue surpassed; that ii is a credit to the
proprietresseS and the town; but We
contend that the public school system
i a national boast and pride, that it is
the grand corner stone of American
g~reatne the levelcr Of pride of caste
and sect, the glory of the country and
even of the world; and we honor those
who assist TO support and p%atronize
the institution. On Tuesday last at
the call meeting in the school house,
remarks were made by L. u. Edwards.
Rev. Mr.. Alien and otherS-men well
versed in school matters, which il
would have been we'll if all had heard.
Next Tuesday evening a meeting will
be held at the District Court Room.
and it is to be hoped that all citizens
will attend. All matters connected
with public school interests will be
discussed. and such action taken as
may seem best in the present state of
the Districts finances. The idea sug-
rested by John G.. Fox, relative to
raising funds will be restarted at the
next meeting. when all will have an
opportunity of freely ~canvassing the
plan. 1t may also be urged that nOne
but the taXpavers will be called upon
to build the house. To this we say,
that it is contemplated to collect at
least one-fourth Ofthe amount needed,
from non-taXpayers. This matter
will also be discussed on Tuesday
night. We have an excellent Board
OF TruSteeS, and some first rate teach
ers, and we can have Il school house
which will be an honor 70 the Capital,
and the payment therefor so arranged
that no one will fee the loss OF the
A good school in Carson will
be the means of filling all the empty
houses and of the erection OF private
family residences all around ourtown;
of filling the churches, and of inn
proving society generally. Recoilect.
Tuesday evening at the Courthouse, at
s O'Clock p. IN.
RAILEoAD.-The Reno section of the
Virginia, Carson and Truckee Rail-
road will be in complete running or
der from Reno to Steamboat Springs
within ninety days. or about the mid
die of October. From Steamboat to
Washoe City there will he some pretty
heavy grading, and no approximation
can as vet be made to the time re-
uuired to complete the road to this
city.
NEW BAND.-Empire City is blessed
with a band of music, that of Barn
well & Jeffries (recentiy organized).
which discourses sweet strains to the
evening breezes by the Nriver side
