NEW SCHOOL FOR DOUGLAS
MOVEMENT ON TO ESTABLISH
COUNTY INSTITUTION OF
LEARNING

The Gardnerville Record Courier
says:
"A move which IS to be highly COM
mended is now on foot headed
by the most influential men In the
county That is the establishing Of
county h;gh school. This is a matter
that should receive the hearty sup
port of every man, woman and child
in the community, as it means more
to the cause of education and the gen.
eral upbuilding Of the county than
any movement that has ever been
placed before the people of this coun-
ty. In order to establish a school OF
this kind it is necessary to lay before
the county commissioners petition
signed by the tax payers OF the coun-
ty praying them to make an order sub
mitting the question to the voters OF
the county at the general election.
Such a petition is now being circula-
ted by Professor Cullen and is meet
ing with flattering success whenever
presented"

For many years she has suffered from
ill health and short time ago was
seized with a severe Attack of stomach

cover.

PHENOMENON SEEN
AROUND THE SUN

One of the most remarkable phe-
nomena ever observed here was that
of a double complete circle around the
sun Saturday forenoon.
The circle was IN appearance like a
rainbow and surrounded the sun at
least 30 degrees in diameter to the
outside of the secondary rim. The
inner rim was about 10 degrees from
the center ball of light and was much
more intense in color than the outer
Various theories are given to ac-
able for the phenomenon. A reason
ah,e one ia that humidity in the upper
atmosphere caused refraction OF the
rays of the sun. and difused a color
ed ray in the two circles. One guess
is as good as another.

Controller Davis has received a let
ter from Clarence Mackay ID New

his wish that the final resting place
OF the statue should be near the
school of mines at the university
which he also has donated to the
state.
While Carson will be greatly dis
appointed at the final disposition OF
this statue to the memory Of John
Mackay, IL will accept the situa': on
gracefully. Had Mr. Machay, content
ed himself with merely erecting the
statue, it would have been located
IN Carson. but since he has also add
ed TO this gift 100000 school CT
mines it is fitting and appropriate
that the statue should be erected near
the building and that the two shall
