L0VEL0CK SCHOOL
ELECTIONS.
EDIroR WADswoRTn DISPATCH -

EDITOR WADswoRTH DISPATCH -
notice in your paper a statement TO
the effect that the Board of Trustees of
Lovelock School District has called u
special election to raise $500. 1t is
scarcely likely that the taxpayers will
vote this money. About 3 years ago
1920 was raised by special tax for school
purposes and again 2 years ago $1,000
WAS borrowed to build new and suit
able school and supply it with the nee
cessary furnishings which sum has
added considerably to the taxation of
the district. Altogether the people seem
to consider that they have done toler-
ably well for the education OF its youth.
But furthermore. one might inquire
why there happens to be a shortage of
funds to run the school for reasonable
length of time. The County Commits
sioners, SO far as my information goes,
have not yet reached the maximum rate
allowed by law, presumably because they
consider tie present apportionment ade-
quate for school needs. Then during
the current term of school there has
been no abnormal condition for the
Board to deal with requiring extraordi-
nary expenditure, such at making i'm
provements, etc., even the first bill, no
inconsiderable item, for reasons not nee
es sary to mention here, didn't require
the Board to put its hand down into it's
lanky pocket. How comes it about then
that the Board finds itself in such finan-
cial straits? There is but one answer
and that is that the management is ut
fault and needs to be radically changed.
II the people were TO vote the money
now asked for it would bring no perma-
ent remedy but simply prolong the evil
and in short time again would he
heard the horse luck cry of give, give.
The rate payers are likely to insist that
the School Board live within its means,
and certainly anyone we'll versed in
school affairs stoull find this no
difficulty and without
impairing the efficiency OF the school
either-for those parents who wish their
children to have schooling beyond the
regular term, the school law provides a
means; why. not take advantage of it.

Superintent Sharon Sizes Up
the Situation.

A. the banquet to visiting newspaper
men, held in Virginia city on last Satnr-
day, Superintendent w. f. Sharon de-
livered the following address:
Gentleman of the leading parers OF
the United States: On behalf OF the
Comstock Superintendents and the good
citizens of our city, bid you welcome
and good cheer to one of the greatest
mining regions the world has ever
known. Our past history is Worldwide.
Nevada, the battle born state that made
it possible for Abraham Lincoln to be-
come President of this great country,
the later through the enormous yield Of
her mines, saved the credit of nation.
In thk past thirty years we have satis-
tics which show that the yield OF the
Con,stock Lode reached the sum Of
5000, 900, ,O00 and We believe that the
Weld has been much larger than this,
for the reason that in the early history
of the Comstock no records were kept OF
the output. During this time we have
passed through several periods of de-
preston, but the fortunate stroke OF the
miners pick has each time changed
darkness into light in so short space OF
time that it almost made us dizzy. AT
the present time we are passing through
one Of those periods, caused partially by
the ore in our mines becoming lower in
grade, but the greatest cause Of our dis
tress is due to adverse legislation on
silver. Should silver be restored to
where we think it belongs-side by side
with gold--instead of 500 men being en-
ployed on the Comstock at the present
time, there would be 5000 contributing
to the wealth and happiness OF the
world at large. But let me say to you
fright here. We are not dead by a d-n
sight. In the past two weeks COM
pany has been organized to open Sec
tion OF the Comstock mineral belt that
gives as much promise for the future as
that section Which has already yielded
SO many millions, known as the Ameri-
can Flat Development Company.
| This is a part and parcel of the great
| Comstock lode and all that is necessary
to make it yield up its treasure is energy
and perseverance. In addition to this
we have u parallel vein which lies east
Of the Comstock lode known AS the
Brunswick lode, which we are now
opening, in which most promising pros
poets are being encountered, and we
hope and believe the time is not far dis
tant when we will again be on the tidal
wave of prosperity, which means not
only happiness to our own people but to
the masses in general.

has been endeavoring to make it appear
that when the ALLOCATE came to under

A SCHEME OF MURDERER BUTLER.

Senoma county was in response to re-
quest from Butler, who wrote him, out

slRGJoHN KEPT STILL.
Refused to Disclose Confidential Cores
pondence in Transvaal Raid.

London, April 6.-The parliamentary
committee inquiring into the Transvaal
raid was again in session today. A pri-
waite discussion resulted in the reading of
the confidential correspondence between
Sir John Willoughby, the military lead
er of the raid and Sir Rivers Billiards,
the adjutant general of the forces, the
former having declared that he acted I'M
der orders, as Matabsle administrator In
authority to do so.
Sir Reyers Butler. replying, said that
the war office had duly considered the
plea. but, Sir John Willoughy ought to
have known that an order to attack a
friendly state was ultra wires besides
which he had disregarded the order Of
the high commander to retire from the
Transvaal territory.
Sir William Haroourt cross-examined
Sir John Willoughby with view of
eliciting his reasons for believing he
had had imperial authority for the raid.
The witness, however, declined to say
anything beyono admitting ne had prl-
vate talks with DR.. Jameson on the sub
ject, the substance of which he refused
TO disclose
This caused Sir William Harcourt to
exclaim: "Then, must clear the room
and settle this question, once for all"
After the room had been cleared, the
committee entered into a private dis
cussion. An hour later the doors were
re-opaned and the chairman informed
Sir John Wi1loughby he must answer the
questions, but. he need not repeat Dr..
Jameson S exact words.
Sir John Willoughby still declined to
answer the questions. declaring he was
prepared to take the consequences.
Ihe chairman advised the witness to
divulge his reasons for believing he had
imperial authority for the raid; but
Sir John Willoughby remained firm.
The committee adjourned until Friday
next.
