Neyada's 900 Well.

Work on the State we'll in the Capitol
grounds at Carson ceased last week
without encountering a flow of artesian
water, for which the last Legislature
set aside $4,000. The fund has been
exhausted. This is the second well
sunk, the first having caved i'll, aud the
sand pump is struck in well No. 2 at a
depth of over 500 feet. The Carson
Appeal says the water rises to the level
Of the ground but does not flow over.
1t is probable that deep-well centrifu.
gal pump will be let down about 200
feet. which would force the water TO
the highest part of the Capitol and the
State would have all the water needed
to irrigate the grounds. 1t would also
be pure water for drinking, which is
not the case with the present supply.

HUMBOLDT IRRIGATION SCHEME
Reconnaissance Has Been Finished,
Typographical Survey Begins.

Engineer Russell and Ajax Wolf.
photographer. have finished the recon-
naissance survey Of the irrigation
scheme the Governments now engaged
upon to reclaim the irrigable lands tri.
butary to the Humboldt river. They
located three reservoir sites in Elko
County, one on North Fork. one ON
South Fork aud one on Rock Greek.
These sites are said to be well adapted
for the irrigation work to be carried out
in that county.
A surveying party began the topo-
graphical survey Of the irrigated and
irrigable lands in Elko County last
week under Engineer Russell and two
more parties entered the field this week.
This work is under the supervision Of
Engineer L. H. Taylor. but Engineer
Russell is directing the work.
The work of surveying for canals and
reservoirs will begin as soon as the
typographical survey is finished. aud
will be rushed through to completion.

TOO MANY RABBITS IN ELKO.
Opportunity for University Student
to Win 100000 Reward.

Elko County ranchers report that jack
rabbits are so numerous at the present
time that they have become q menace
to crops. Unless some means are taken
to eradicate the pests fears are enter
tanned that it will be impossible to raise
crops in the vicinity of South Fork the
coming season.
The matter has become so serious that
Regent Booher of the University of Ne
vada is arranging to have the Univer-
sity students discuss q remedy. Pro-
fessor Frandsen was at Elko Saturday
and he was asked to devise some means
Of killing the rabbits.
Big Reward for an ExterminatOr.
"The reward of 100000 offered by
the Government OF Australia to any
person who may devise successful
mode of exterminating the rabbits,
whose numbers make them q pest, is
still standing" said A. Mcdonald of
Melbourne recently to a reporter Of the
Washington Post. ''It was offered
good many years ago. and a great many
people thought they saw an easy way
of getting nice lump of money, but SO
far no effective scheme of eliminating
the buunies has been presented. No
matter how fast they are slain they breed
with such rapidity as to defy extinc-
tion and continue to plague the cattle
men and farmers. They are shipped to
London by the thousand in refrigerator
vessels. where they are eagerly bought by
the English, who seem to prize them as
an article Of food. In Australia few
people will eat Them"

Catholic Affairs at the Philippines.

According to reports received at the
Vatican in Rome, Secretary Taft. dur
ing his recent visit to the Philippines,
met the Catholic Bishops Of the Islands
and promised them that justice should
be done them in the matter of restoring
their property and paying them for oc-
cupation of the church property by the
soldiers during the late war. The
Bishops asked State aid for the support
Of the parochial schools. which. it was
affirmed. the majority of the children
attended, but Secretary Taft declared
that such an action would be uncon-
stitutional.

Serada,s Chance for Rate Regulation.

Serada's Chance for Rate Regulation.
Congressman Van Duzer is right in
his suggestion that the people of Ne
vada should show President Roosevelt
that they are with him. Petitions
should at once be put in circulation in
every county in the State and sent to
our Senators at Washington. Not that
they should need any bracing up in the
fght that will be made in the Senate this
Winter against in any way regulating a
question that has been head and should
ers above all others in Nevada for 35
years. but to show President Roosevelt
and the Senators from other States that
the people of this commonwealth mean
what they say when they make the
charge that it is wrong to pay five cents
per mile for travel when not another
State in the Union pays over three;
that it is wrong to charge Nevada
shippers through tide-water rate then
add the local rates back to destination
Thomas Nelson of Stone House, Hum
boldt County, is the Nevada representa-
tive Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and would be the proper person
to see that petitions are put in circula-
ton In every county in Nevada. There
is a chance now for the people of Ne
vada to get from under the unjust
transportation charges they have been
carrying for over q generation, and If
they do not improve it they are de.
serving of no better treatment than
they are now receiving.
Every Republican, every Democrat.
every Socialist, every Populist. every
man. living within the confines Of Ne
vada should throw politics to the wind
and work as one individual for the reg
ulation Of transportation rates in
Nevada.
All the party conventions next year
should make it the leading issue in
their respective party platforms and for
once a Legislature should be selected
that recognizes the Importance OF the
subject and pass restrictive measures
tending to prevent the unjust discrimi-
nation against this State. If they do
everybody will have the satisfaction OF
seeing the rights Of transportation COM
panies drawn ON the States trestle
board and force them to live to "tote
fah."
Commence right, and see how easy it
is to settle question that has blinded
the eyes of the people of Nevada for 80
years.-Winnemucca Silver State.

The Grand Jury of Lincoln County

wash. Therein it differed from many
Grand Juries. It found a state of af.
fairs in the county government tina,
was startling. The various officials
played with their offices as if they were
their own private property. They
rendered an account to no one. They
used the county's money as if it were a
part of their own private bank account.
They kept no books. One or two made
the local saloons their headquarters. 1t
was about as great travesty on gov.
ernment rs could be found.
We get the above facts from the re-
port which has been made by the Grand
Jury. We have known many q Grand
Jury report to have been inspired by
venomous politics, but this one seems
TO be the narration of facts as they were
found. Lincoln is a great big county.
Its population is exceedingly small.
Bat the few people that are there have
had some interesting food for thought
presented to them in this report of the
Grand Jury.
The interesting question now is, What
are they going to do about it? To the
casual reader several hundred miles
away it seems as if there ought to be a
number of new faces in the Court House
at Pioche soon.-Reno Gazette.

FROM SCHOOL TO LIFE


SEVEN YOUNG ladies closed their high school ca

indeed just as sweet and promising any sent
forth into lfes larger school,. They have completed
sAer course in the high school with honor to them
selves and credit to their instructors They have
learned many lessons aud they have many more to
learn They have laid the foundations for an edu-
cation Of course they don't know all, and perhaps
they don know as much as they think they know
but they know than most of us older folks and
they have learned how to learn.
The value TO these young ladies' of the training
and instruction they have received cannot be overest
mated. They have enjoyed privileges and had oppor-
tunities that half century ago were given only to
those favored with college career The curriculum
Of the high school today equal many respects to
that Of the college in the earlier days 1t is striking
commentary On the progress of popular education that
such opportunities these are open to the boys and
girls in nearly every town and city in the land.
We are proud of our high school graduates and
proud of our schools The public schools Of Chcka-
sha have taken rank with the best in the two terri
tories This should be matter of pride and graft
tude on the part of every citizen We should give all
due praise to the members of the school board and
the teachers, past and present who have labored
earnestly and 50 successfully in building up such a
splendid system Of public schools. Mistakes they
may have made and doubtless have made but the net
results of their abors stand to their credit and to the
honor Of Chickasha.
Let us encourage our school boys and girls, en-
courage our teachers and our school board, commend
them for their abors and assist them in every way in
the great work in which they are engaged.

THE RosE-coLoRED GLASS.

By Charles Stewart Pratt.
Once, when child, ] found somewhere
A piece cf clear red glass,
And when / looked through 1t, II
brought
A miracle to pass:
The dull old earth and clouded sky,
Became most wondrous bright,
And tree and flower and erythlng
Rejoiced in rosy light.
All through the years OF later lie
Some happy folk I've known
Who'd found the magic of the glass
And made it all their own;
Some happy folk for whom the sun
Still shone on cloudy days,
For whom the flowers would always
spring
Along the stony ways;
Brave-hearted folk who yet could smile
When troubles closely crept,
Who ever ka1 a word of cheer
For those who sighed or wept;,
Dear folk whom 1t was good to know.
Who made the dull grow bright,
And shed about their way on earth
A rosy, heavenly light.
And oft think how good time
'Twould surely bring to pass,
II all of us could look on llfej
Through their rose colored glass
