VOTE FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL.

< TEXT Tuesday the voters of this county will decide whether or
~ not their children are to have the advantages ofhigher educa-
ton. The first step towards providing this has been embodied
in the high school measure to be voted upon on that day, aud
should not be confused with graft. We mention this because it
would be impossible to frame any measure, no matter how
righteous, but what it would meet with censure. The Churchill
County high school measure provides for the erection of a county
high SCHOOL, in the town of Fallon, to cost not more than $4,000.
Of this sum the Southern Pacific company must pay $1,000, as
their holdings comprise 10 per cent of our assessable property. 1t
is given out that the railway company is heartily in favor of the
issue, for, whatever a railroads discrepancies may be, they are
usually found on the side of any progressive issue that may tend
to build up their tributary territory, and a S a rule they are willing
to pay their share. Of the remaining $4,000 to be met bv the
resident taxpayers of this county, each mans tax will be nothing
more than a mite. Is there anyone who would say that this first
step towards providing high school education for this section is
not worth the price? We must soon witness an influx OF settlers,
and if we would attract the desirable class w e must hold out in
ducements. Is there anything more vital to the progressive man
than the education of his family?
OF course the measure will carry, for little or no opposition
has been developed, but if every citizen of this county has its wei
fare at heart he will make the vote one of unanimity. 1t would
be a fitting testimonial to the broadmindedness of Churchill
citizens.
Let every man turn out and help to swell the vote for the high
school.

been made to induce the outside press to advertise Churchill
