Yuletide Marks Memorable Event for
Public School Students.

how many bolts they must u~nfasten OF
the many bars they must let down In

counter in the new life they were about
to enter. Ambition. he counseled, at.

the GRAND JURY IN SESSION
Ignores Bill Against Bridgemar
Five Other Criminal Cases
on the Calendar.

UNUSUALLY W au OkuC Aooa0a "a "a
the District Court in Eureka the En-
reka County Grand Jury was called on
Thursday and impaneled. after which
Judge Peter Breen instructed the in
vestigating body on the importance of
the work they were called to do and
upon the necessity of giving each and
every matter coming before them care.
full and deliberate attention.
The Court after charging the Grand
Jury on the usual statutory subjects
charged them specially on the necessity
for inquiry into the question Of whether
or not the law making it the duty OF
the Boards of County Commissioners to
put up and maintain at each crossing OF
any public roads OF highways in the
county. is being complied with.
The Court said that the necessity for
such a law was never more imperative
than at the present time. The State OF
Nevada, he said, was entering upon q
great prospecting era, and more es-
pecially that part Of the State south OF
the north boundary of Eureka County.
Miners and prospectors were out in
every direction and that in consequence
of the sparsely settled conditions Of the
State and the great distances between
human habitations aud the scarcity OF
water in many localities. the brave
hunters for hidden treasures, unless
aided and directed by guide boards
would run occasional risks at least OF
perishing in the deserts and mountains
to be traversed. The following com-
pose the Grand Jury:

PRACTICAL SUPERVISOR
IN MURPHY DISTRICT
Supervisor Gentner Builds Only
Small Section but Makes
That Permanent.

o. f. Gentner was in town Monday
for ad of large tiliug to be used
for road oulyerts in his district Mr..
Gentner is supervisor in the Murphy
earned reputation of being one Of the
best road supervisors in Josephine
county. Mr. Gentner docs not waste
the road fund of hi district in max
ing temporary repairs to the roads,
but he concentrates his efforts on one
section of road at time and gets 1t
permanently improved. Getting the
roads on easy grades and thoroughly
drained is leading feature of Mr..
Gentuer's road work. He uses no
wood in constructing the smaller cul.
verts, making them of tiling OF stone.
Tie has found that tiling is the least
expensive for small culverts, the
cot of quaIrying, hauling and laying
the rock making it expensive, except
when the rock can be had at the place
il is to be used and is easy to quarry
Mr. Gentner has this past summer
graded and permanently improved
mile of the main Applegste road in
his district, and now he will begin
the work of graveling 1t. As the dis
trict has but limited road fnnd the
farmers have volunteered to haul the
gravel, Supervisor Gentner furnishing
the men to load the wagons. The
gravel will be taken from the bars in
the Applegate river, where there are
thousands Of tons of rcck that Is per
feet for road covering. When Super.
visor Gentner completes this section
of road it will be one q the best con
structed and most permanent roads in
Josephine county. Such roads bring
good returns to the taxpayers, but the
average road work that is done, by
way OF filling mudholes and other
temporary improvements is money
very largely wasted.
