information relative to the water Ia the
Humboldt at this place, and also at
Elko, and desires en- answer through

We have ascertained from persons
who have been close Observers of the
river at Ills place and at this season of
the year for several years past, and they
say the Humboldt is lower at the pres
ent time than they ever saw it before in
May. High water may be expected III

The Dramatic Society have made a
proposition to donate 500 to the public
school; provided, the citizens contribute
an equal amount. 1t now devolves
upon parents and guardians of children
attending the schools to see that this
amount is raised. The Grammar De-
partment is now closed for want of
funds, and the Primary Department
will close at the end of the month
unless arrangements are made to raise
money to run it a longer time. This
matter should be attended to forthwith
if parents desire to keep the school
open during the Summer.

ST. CLAIR, CHURCHILL Co.,
May 8, 1879.
EDITOR SILVER STATE Spring, with
its welcome charms, has at last put in
an appearance in Churchill. New life
and vigor seem to have visited us and
we are now enjoying the happy infu-
ences of fields of growing grain and
sweet scented clover.
CROP PROSPECTS
never were more encouraging than at
present on the sink of Carson; there
never before has been so large an area
of grain sown as at the present season,
and it is at least a month in advance of
last years crop. The farmers seeing
the scarcity of snow in the Sierra took
due precaution and got the start of the
season, instead of letting the season get
the start of them. 1t is lamentable
fact, that each successive year brings a
failure of water earlier than ever before.
Last season by the middle of June there
was no water in any of the tIree
branches of the Carson that could be
utilized for irrigating purposes, and la-
ter in the season, there was even scat-
city for domestic and stock uses, while
this year the chances are that it will
fail even earlier than ever before. This
is the one great drawback to Churc1'li.
Thousands of acres of the finest land
imaginable are now laying idle in large
tracts that could be irrigated and made
to raise the finest crops if there were
only water enough to mature them.
The cause of this failure of water is at
tributed to the clearing of the noun
tains of their timber, thereby letting
the warm days of May and June melt
all the snow, and bringing the water
that is needed in July at least month
ahead of time We were in hopes at
one time last winter of receiving aid
from the state in developing the re-
sources of the country, by assisting in
the digging of

ARTESIAN WELLS.

In all probability good flowing streams
of artesian water could be reached by
going down about three hundred feet;
this would cost, it is thought, about
81, 600; but 81, 900 is great deal of
money for poor man, and as general
thing, people starting new homes, have
not that amount of money to spare.
Now, if, in the Artesian well BILL they
had said after the first 200 feet" in
stead of latter the first 800 feet" it
would have been of some utility in de-
veloping the resources of the State, as
it now stands, it is dead letter, from
the fact that if a person thinks he has
got to dig 500 feet for water he is not
going to undertake the job, or, if he
does, nine times in ten he has capital
enough so that he does not need any
State aid But then, what is the use
of growing over what that Legislature
didn't do; better turn to and, as Hum
boldt has done by Crawford, give them
their just deserts for what they did do,
and that would be with large major
ity of them),a strong piece of rope, with
one end attached to their necks, and
the other thrown over limb of tree.
We are glad to say that Churchill had
one true man; of the other, there was
nothing conspicuous in his acts, only
his absence on all important measures.

CALHOUNS PLACE IN HISTORY.

Dr. H. Won Hoist. professor of history at the Uni
versity Of Freiburg. and the author of standard
work on the American Republic delivered lecture
last evening at Steinway Hall on Calhoun and Slav
cry. He did not regard Calhoun a statesman. but
what Calhoun thought and said became important.
as giving correct insight into political affairs during
the third period of the Unions existence From the
day. he said that Calhoun placed himself at the head
of the notification movement to the present the idea
sovereignty, not yet eradicated spread itself
among the American people, and when Congress. then
representing thirteen millions Of people had the
courage to control six hundred thousand South Car
olinians, Calhoun felt his power and exercised it
ever since. Reviewing his position pending the
Missouri compromise and his replies to William
Lloyd Garrison the lecturer stated that Calhoun,
ever trusting to that political gospel OF State
sovereignty, became the Paul who first dared
to proclaim slavery blessing municipal
institution. Regardless OF the progress Of civil
izaton everywhere, the democratic Republic
called upon to nationalize human slavery, and the
annexation OF Texas proclaimed to the world as
movement required by the demands Of the
slaveocracy. More than any other had
Calhoun, with his demands for the protection
OF slavery, worked to uphold that institution, but
more than any other man had he also helped unwt-
tngly to destroy it, California for the first time
proclaming that she would not have slavery was tho
beginning of slave decadence, and when Calhoun
died. there died with him an era in American history.

recent eclipse-the disappearance OF those immense
masses of solar hydrogen in the eclipse OF nine
years agohe observes that the constituents OF those

they have condensed into heavier or expanded into
