THE ROOT-HART FIGHT

The Root-Hart fight for the worlds
heavyweight championship, to occur
in Reno during the carnival on the
afternoon of July 3, will in measure
solve the question of who is cham
pion in the heavyweight class, since
the retirement of Jeffries. The latter,
who relinquished the title, will be at
the ringside in an official capacity,
probably as official timekeeper, and
will declare the winner of the fight
the champion. The successful fighter
will then be obliged to defend the til
tie against all comers. The articles
of agreement call for a finish fight
for a purse of $4,000. The men will
probably weigh in between 1856 and
1876 pounds. The arena is being COM
pleted and will have seating capac-
ity of 5000 people. The fight is to be
given under the auspices of the Reno
Athletic Club, and the promoters are
Al Livingston of Carson and J. P.
Egan. Not since the championship
battle at Carson, March II, 1897, has
the interert been taken in pugilistic
event that is evidenced in the forth
coming fistic engagement at Reno on
the 3rd of July.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS

Mr.. q. K. Fulton representing the
Truckee General Electric Co. was in
the Valley the early part of the week
signing contracts for electric power
and lights for the town of Gardner
vile and vicinity. Mr.. Fulton met
with considerable success in inducing
our residents to have their places lit
with electricity
The company has three stations
along its line of communication so
that if one should be put out of COM
mission, the power can immediately
be put on from one of the other sta
tions. We are glad to note the gener-
al interest taken in this matter by the
people of this section as the introdnc-
ton OF electric power and lights marks
step forward in the material ad-
vancement of our valley. Electricity
Is now being used wherever it can be
gotten in preference to any other
power or light.
The power being so handy and the
ease with which it is controlled eoupi-
ed with the entire absence from break
downs etc Immediately recommends
it for general use for all purposes.
Mr. Fulton left a number of con-
tracts at this office, and anyone inter-
ested in the use of the power for any
purpose will be given full particulars
by calling at the Record Courier office.

A Water Meeting

AT meeting of the West Fork far
mers held at the residence of Hans
Johnson, a water commissioner was
appointed for District No. . compris-
ing the waters of the west fork of the

imously elected to that position. 1t

tribution so that all interested will re-
ceive their portion of the water during
the dry season. Leo Springmeyer is
the Secretary of the West fork water
users.
All of the above proceedings are car
ried out in accordance with the recent

TRUSTEES ADOPT
A NEW PLAN

The trustees of the Gardnerville
school district are to inaugurate a
plan this year that should receive the
support of every person interested in
education. Until recently boys or
girls, intending TO take a course in the
University, were first compelled to
undergo special preparation in the
Preparatory departments, which add
ed from one to three years to the time
required to graduate from that insti-
tuition.
The plan to be inaugurated by the
trustees of this district is to employ
the best material that can be gotten.
and as an incentive for pupils of othef
districts to take advantage of the
liberal education to be tanght, have
made the proposition that anyone de-
string TO send their children to the
high school could do so by having the
school money of the pupils district
turned into the treasury of this dis
trict, pro rata of course to the num-
Der of children attending from out
side districts.
The sum and substance of the propo-
sition is that it will make the
school as near a County high school
as possible without any special tax.
Some of the districts are so crowded
with scholars that it is impossible for
one teacher to give justice to all, and
consequently the child after he passes
the eighth grade is practically through
with his education, and goes out into
the world "half cooked" as it were.
All children beyond the eighth grade
receive instruction in the higher
studies, and also in the more general
subjects pertaining to higher education
such as: geometry, algebra, chemistry,
latin and physics. These subjects
may seem superfluous in farming sec
ton, but as matter of fact they are
the most important studies for the
young today, as they deal directly
with the conditions they meet with in
daily life. The Gardnerville school is
the largest in the county and with the
new and commodious school building
they can accommodate all corners.
The holding of moneys in each dis
trict, is simply a matter of sentiment
that works irreparable injury to the
young hopeful who is struggling for
an education, but is prevented from
obtaining the same because of lack of
facilities in his home district. Does il
seem right to hold in a district the
small sum of money that belongs to a
child for the purpose of obtaining an
education, and which he is prevented
from obtaining because his prorata
is used for others2 Do we realize that
the future of our children and our
neighbours children are dependant to
large extent upon their education?
Do we not also realize that the con-
ditions are ripe for the building and
equipment of a county high school,
and that those conditions can be par
TALLY realized by taking advantage of
the proposition made by the trustees
of the Gardnervilve school?
Think this matter over, you who
have children and are desirous of Civ
ing them the advantage ofthe best ed
ucation obtainable in the County
at minimum of cost. Simply adopt
the method proposed.

Tamperine With the Lines

Some person or persons have been
fooling with the telephone lines of the
Alpine Telephone Co Whoever the
party or parties were evidently did
not realize that it is a criminal offence
TO fool with lines of that character.
Mr.. Karge will persecute the offend
ers if they can be apprehended. The
trick consisted in attaching a wire, in
this case a fence wire to the telephone
line and then grounding the current
The trouble occurred on the line be-
tween the creamery and Waterloo
where it is attached to fence posts.
Whoever is the offender evidently was
not a novice in that line as the wire
connections were perfect in every par
ticular.
The telephone people had great
deal ofdifficulty in locating the trouble
when finally Arvin Southworth dis
covered the disturbing element and
Immediately put things right. Fool
ing with the telephone lines is not a
huge joke as some would suppose, but
on the contrary a very serious pro-
ceeding Who knows but what hum
an life depends on the use of the line
in summoning medical aid and for
numerous other purposes.
Professor Doten of the State Univer-
sity, head of the Weather Department
for the western section of Nevada, says
the records show no year with weather
as cold on the 1st of June as 1905. Dur
ing the last few days the maximum
temperture has not exceeded 30, and
for several nights the thermometer has
registered as low as "a degrees The
