STILL ENDtAvORING TO SETTLE.

The people of Mason Valley
held another meeting on Wednes,
day of this week to consider the
proposition of settling the vexed
water suit with Miller & Lux.
Attorney harrington, who is en-
ployed by a number of defendants
in the big suit was at the meeting
and urgently advised the people
to settle the matter out of court,
at to continue in the court would
consume years of time and be a
heavy expense on all, and in the
end there would be no more
water in the river. The people of
Smith Valley have agreed on a
basis of settlement with Miller &
Lux, and it was the object of the
meeting to have the Mason Valley
people adopt the same plan.
Many here were opposed to some
parts of this plan, but one was
formulated which will be presented
to Miller & Lux. Whether it will
be agreeable to them or not, re-
mains to be seen.
The government stands ready
to appropriate 100000 to start a
reclamation scheme here just as
soon as the suit is out of the way,
and we do not see why any small
point should stand in the way of
an agreement by all to settle the
suit out of court. In two years
the amount of money appropriated
would give everybody on the West
Walker River all the water neces-
sary for their use on land now
irrigated, while if they bicker
along for several seasons more the
money now guaranteed may not be
available.
The water users of this valley
can afford to go long way towards
getting the suit settled out of
court to obtain that 100000 to be-
gin work on the storage scheme.
When once started such a system
would, without doubt, be carried
on until complete system was
constructed for the irrigation of
every foot of land in this valley
and Smith Valley.
What do your prior rights
amount to if you have to lose your
home to get them enforced, or if
there is no water in the river for
anyone's use?

To the Foreman and members of the Grand Jury
of Lyon County, Nevada:
Gentlemen-We, the committee appointed to
investigate the books of School Trustees, school
buildings and books of township officials beg
leave TO submit the following:
We find the books and buildings, in general, to
be in fair condition, but would recommend that
in some districts the books should be kept in a
more systematic manner. Regarding the build
ings fences etc. we find they are in need of re-
pair, and suggest that the Trustees in the several
districts make the necessary repairs. We would
especially recommend that the primary room in
School District No. be enlarged, suggested
by the Trustees.
We also find that the teachers are allowed
longer vacations, under salary, than allowed by
law, and draw their salary for same. We recon-
mend that this practice be discontinued
We find the books of the township officials to
be in good shape SO far investigated.
We find tendency the part of trustees OF
most of the districts to extravaganza in buying
maps, globes, ETC., of which very little use is
made and would recommend that they more
economy in this respect.
We recommend that all business transacted by
the trustees of the several districts be transacted
respectively at the Offices of the Clerks of the

PRESIDENT SPEAKS WISELY.

President Roosevelt speaks
wisely when, in discussing this
new era of the west, he insists
that the benefits of irrigation shall
accrue most largely to the men
who propose to be permantly
identified with the reclaimed arid
lands. The government has
undertaken a work of great
magnitude and it is important that
the interest of the homeseekers be
securely guarded. There is much
temptation for wealthy syndicates
to control the water supply and
thus compel the individuals to pay
tribute. There is also some likeli-
hood that selfish spectators will,
to quote the Presidents expressive
language, skim the cream and
then depart. Against these con-
tingencies the president arrays
himself in emphatic fashion. He
desires the benefits to be enjoyed
by the greatest possible number.
If his plans prevail, there will be
no end to the blessings which irri-
cation will confer. If on the
other hand, the great natural re-
sources of the west are to be con-
trolled by favored few, it would
be almost better for the desert to
remain. We can rest assured,
however, that with the President
personally interested in the great
work of reclamation, the interests
of the legitimate homeseekers will
not be allowed to suffer. In thus
demanding protection for the
otherwise unprotected individual,
the President engages himself in
a righteous Washington
Post.

To J. G. Young, Esq,
Foreman of the Grand Jury:
Your committee on public buildings respectful
ly report: That we have examined the county
court house and jail, and also the branch county
Jail at the town of Yerington, and find the coun-
ty court house i'll good condition. We find how
ever that the county Jail is unsafe, is also the
branch county Jail, at Yerington, because of the
fact that the bars in the windows far apart
that aid may be easily rendered to persons con-
fined i'll said jails by those on the outside. We
would, therefore, recommend that the Board of
County Commi ssioners be requested to procure
screens the same as are used at the Washoe coun-
ty jail, and have the said screens placed over the
windows of said jails at once. We find that the
Jail at Yerington is provided with but one bed for
two cells therein. We, therefore, recommend
that another bed be procured at once for said jail

Co.sn Diarrhoes.

U. s. soldiers who served in Cuba during the Spanish war know what this disease is, and that the ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cuban diarrhoea is almost as severe and dangerous as a mild attack of cholera. There is one remedy, however, that can always be depended upon as will be seen by the following certificate from Mrs. Min nie Jacobs, of Houston, Texas: 'T hereby certify that Chamberlain's Col. ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband of severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought home from Cuba. We had several doctors but they did him no good. One bottle of this remedy cured him, as our neighbors will testify.
