NEW TEXT BOOKS DELAYED
Only One School in This Sect;on
OF Nevada Has Been
Supplied

Deputy Superintendent Liobtfoo.
says that Of the schools he has visitsa
Ruby Hill is the only one that has va,
been able to secure a supply Of the new
text books adopted throughout the
State. Many Of the schools are RIM.
ming with a very short supply Of the old
DOCKS while awaiting the delivery Of
the new ones. This has led to n great
deal Of confusion in the organization
oil the schools. aud in some instances 10
almost an entire waste Of the frs,
months Of school.
This is a condition for which there
Is no good excuse. The State Text
Book Commission decided upon the
list OF text books to BE- used early
enough in the year to give ample time
for those who have the matter in charge
to have supplied their repositories with
q sufficient number of text books to
have avoided this embarrassment.
Mrs. o. ID. Green sent in her order to
Gray. Reid & Wright of Reno, the
State Depository for text books in Ne.
vada, for books enough to supply all
the schools in this vicinity at least three
days before the order went into the
same firm for books for Ruby Hill.
The books for Ruby Hill arrived more
than a week ago, but up to date Mrs.
Green has been unable to get books
with which to supply the other schools.
The public schools of Eureka have,
under the advice Of Mr.. Lightfoot,
been organized in such a way as to
continue the work in all of the grades
with the old text books until the sub.
jects are completed before a change
will be made. This will enable the
pupils to keep up with their grades. al.
though it may delay the exchange of
of some of the text books a month or
two.

Visits White Pine County

Deputy Superintendent A. B. Light.
foot returned this week from a trip in
White Pine County where he has been
visiting the schools. He reports favor
ably upon the conditions he found at
Ely, Lane City and Kimberly. but says
that some of the smaller schools can be
greatly improved. The contract has
been let for a fine one-room school
building at Kimberly and it is expect
ed 10 be ready for occupancy within
two weeks. A new school house will
also be built at Lane City this Fall.
Mr.. Lightfoot states that the mines
at Hamilton are being talked about
very favorably in many OF the places
he has visited, aud from what he has
heard is led to believe that the outlook
for increased activity in White Pine
and Eureka Counties is excellent.

humOr That He Was Seen at Raine's
Ranch Unfoupded

word reached Eureka Monday after
oon that G. g. Lindsey, the burglar
who broke Jail here Wednesday night
OF last week and escaped. had been seen
last Sunday night at the Raine ranch,
seven miles south Of Palisade. This
rumor, however, could not be definitely
traced to confirm the report. Sheriff
sweeney does not believe the man
travelled in the direction Of Palisade,
but mostly likely took a southwest
course. intending to strike the South
ern Pacific Railroad at Battle Mountain
or further west. The different posses
sent out in search Of the fugitive have
all returned, and none of them were
able to learn the least tidings as to his
whereabouts.
Sheriff Sweeney has offered a reward
OF 800 for the arrest and detention of
Lindsey in any Jail.
