has both an esthetic and utilitarian side. Those who say that the public school Is place to learn lle it is the place where people should be fitted for living the life that is before them. Fully as big a fallacy as the above Is the old saying that there is always room at the top As every one knows, the vast majority of people have to live a life of toll, con tenting themselves with the simple things of life. Therefore 1t is our duty to broaden out at the bottom and give this large class the means of seeing and ap- preciating the beautiful things all about them. The school must be brought down from the real of abstractlons to the things of earth.
 Dr. Bigelow said that if the southern states are to be judged by the displays that they make at expositions, they are proud of their nature study. Now, If you do not put these same things into your schools" he said, you are guilty of hypocrisy" Moreover, nature study is means of teaching true democracy--of teaching children to do their work we'll In whatsoever station they be. It's ten
  Bigelow took occasion to condemn in no ambiguous language the false ideals which we have concerning the glory of war. He said that nature study will also teach the children to love of home land and the things about them-a love for the woods, the fields, and the flow CTS. If we teach Gods word in our churches, why should we not teach Gods work in our schools? It will give the earth, and besides it will give him health. with which everything lies in ones pow CT, without which, nothing.
 At S:15 o'clock in Clark hall last evening Dr. Blgelow delivered an illustrated lec- Home-the Uplands." This talk as the title indicates. dealt with the fife of the uplands in standardization to that of the lowlands, which Is to be discussed Thursday evening. This lecture proved especially interesting to pr. Bigelow's southern audience from the fact that if showed the plant and animal life in very different section of the country in Connecticut where the speaker lives Dr. Bgelow laid especial emphasis on varfa- ton and beauty and showed many in- teresting things about the workings of frost and snow. The woods, their text ure, etc, were also given special mo- tlce. Tn this lecture, which was given from the standpoint of the nature stud ent rather than from that of the scientist. Dr. Bigelow took occasion to bring ont the odea that mere object lessions are not in any sense nature study, and, more over, that nature study Is not side issue, but the very groundwork of edu- cation.

Rcseryoir Abandoned.

From what seems to be an abso.
lutely reliable source we learn that
further work on the Alkali Lake res
ervoir in Antelope valley is to be
stopped, and projected improvements
given up, says the Gardnerville Cour.
Ter. T. b. Hickey is the chief owner
and promoter of the scheme to make
an immense reservoir of the lake
and to use the waters SO stored to IL
rigate thousands of acres of land in
both Smith and Mason valleys. He
had installed valuable machinery, in
Guiding pumping plant, had also
made considerable progress in dig
ging tunnel through the hills sepa-
rating the lake from the lands to be
irrigated. He was also the owner OF
all the lands, with the exception oil
three forties in the bed of the lake
which the government owned The
government claiming this natural
reservoir site, served an injunction
on Mr.. Hickey, thus blocking the
further prosecution of the work. Re-
alizing the long delay that would
naturally result before any progress
could be made, if at all, Mr.. Hickey
has had his big teams there this
week hauling away the machinery
and materials-indicatin the com
plete abandonment of the plan as
commenced.

TAHOE HIGH; PROPERTY
OWNERS DESPER ATE

Never in its history have the wat
ers of Lake Tahoe been SO high, says
a Truckee correspondent of the Sac
ramento Bee, and done so much
damage as this season. The rains oil
last week have caused the lake to
rise nearly fifteen inches, and the
water is still coming up.
At the Tavern and Tahoe City
much damage has already been done
to the wharves and the track The
railroad company cannot reach its
machine shops, and in order to get
the train on the wharf to unload
freight and passengers for the steam.
ers, it is now having piling driven
and planks nailed upon the side tC
protect the floor of the wharf from
being flooded. The water is now
within eighteen inches of the top OF
the wharf.
At Brockway the wharf has been
washed away, and considerable dam.
age done to the stone walls around
the hot water springs. At Tallac
the wharf is also in danger; also, al
McKinney's. 1t is feared that an
east wind will blow, and if it does
the waves will wash all wharves
away at both of the latter places
At McKinney's the water is now
within five inches of the wharf floor
Not only the wharf at this point is in
danger, but some of the buildings as
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-06-26

we'll With an east wind, the waves
would flood the posto1fice and store,
besides carrying away some of the
small dwellings, near the shore. The
wharf at Gray's harbor is now sub
merged, but no other damage to date
has been done.
The warm weather is now causing
the snow to melt rapidly, and every
riyulet emptying into the lake is run
ming bank full. 1t is claimed that
three times the volume of water is
now pouring into the lake to that
running out.
1t is feared by the Tahoe Transport
tation & Railway company that some
.of the owners of the resorts will blow
out the Truckee river dam near Ia
hoe City to protect their property.
II the dam was out the waters would
not be so high. Quite a humber of
the buildings erected near the shores
of the lake are surrounded by water.
If some miscreant should blow out
the dam the railroad company would
be the loser, as the high water would
wash out its road and bridges in
many places between Truckee and
Tahoe City. AS the situation is, the
Truckee river is running high, and
if the dam should be blown out, al
lowing an immense body of water to
escape, it would certainly play havoc
with the sections on both sides of
the Truckee river. The dam is be-
ing guarded night and day. IT is es-
timated that damage done to date
will approximate about $40, 900.
