High Death Rate.

The present death rate in Elko is
something terrible. The ~Indepen-
dent does not know whether anything
can be done to lessen it or not but ii
any steps cau be taken to stop the
mortality, they should be taken at
once. There has been considerable
discussion about the closing Of the
schools as a means to that end ard ii
seems to us that it ought to be dore
until the present sickness is stamped
out. The life of a child is of vastly
o consequence TO the State than d
few weess schooling to say nothing
about the distress and sorrow thai
follow sickness and death. The pub
lie school should at least close unit
the present sickness is under control

Captain Neal in Mexico.

The Examiner contains the following
The friends Of Captain Jack Neall
are not surprised to learn that the cav
airy officer has at last been located in
Mexico. The influence of Neall's
friends has prevented him from being
dropped in disgrace from the army
rolls as a deserter. and for three
months at least he is still in command
of Troop B Of the Fourth Cavalry. II
his shortage is made good, a now bids
fair to be the case, NeaI's frtou6s will
undoubtedly succeed in keeping him in
the service. The matter rests with
the President and the Secretary of
war. and enough influence NAV be
brought to bear to have the desired
effect. If restitution is made of the
missing canteen funds little will be said
regarding the funds Of the Preside
Club.
The order received granting him an
extension of time has made a change
on the morning report from February
24th to March1st. On the morning
reports in accounting for the where
ahorts of the troop Officer Neall is
officially marked as a deserter. For
March 1st and I'd Neall is simply
marked absent without leave
While an effort is being made to
guard the secret of his present abiding
place, Neall's whereabouts are known
to several of his former associates. Or
Tuesday last he was known to be regis.
tered at a prominent hotel in the City
of Mexico under an assumed name.

THE FOUR PER CENT BILL
Regarded as a Raid on the School Fund

Regarded as a RAID on the Sc1ool Fund
EDITOR APPEAL: The Senate has
passed the bin red icing the rate of in
terest on State lands from six to four
per cent, and it now remains with the
Assembly to put its foot upon this per-
nicious measure and kill the bill. Who
are the persons demanding the passage
of this Act? They are all large land
owners, or contractors to use the cor
rect term. Immense tracts of land are
held by non~-residents Of this State aud
these lands being contract lands upon
which the sum of twenty-five cents per
acre has been paid are only assessed at
twenty-five cents per acre. The con-
tractor is given twenty-five years to
pay the balance of one dollar per acre,
but he must pay the State six per cent
interest upon these lands.
AS a citizen OF this State and a resi-
dent for over thirty years l have been
proud of u public school system. No
| State in the Union has a better. The
! interest upon these lands goes into the
| State School Fund and is distributed to
| the various counties in this State every
six months and is used for the payment
of the teachers salaries. 1t is now
proposed to cut this fund down one
third and why? Because some of these
grasping land owners-a great many OF
whom are non-residents of the State
State unless the bill is passed. | heard
this ten years ago and how many OF
| them have forfeited their land. If any
lands have beer forfeited there are
plenty of persons to take them. While
it is true some lands have been for
feited, yet these forfeited lands are still
used for range land upon which not
dollar in interest is paid for the reason
that the holders control the springs
which this land surrounds. No on,
ever heard OF them abandoning tn,
land upon which there is a waite
supply.
As was said by a Senator the othe
evening in the Senate when this bi
was under discussion we will take
surveyor and have the lands surveye
upon which there is water and abando
the rest of the land" But this Sens
tor was careful not to tell the Senat
! that he would use the abandoned Ian
1 for range purposes and not pay intere:
upon it.
I am informed that in Elko count
alone, a nonresident was pay ing upO
a certain tract of ten Thousand acre
e He abandoned this entire tract and r
applied for about n thousand acr
e upon which springs were located and
20 now only paying upon this one tho
sand acres, but is controlling the r
naming nine thousand acres upt
which he pays nothing.

for the years 1878 shows hat tt
l, interest payments on land contrac
is for these years was $131, O66. 90 all
Of which went into the State School Fun
If this bill becomes q law our Soho

ceive S43, 688 90 less than it did for tt

that our representatives should stan
with their disapproval.
