ALL FOR OPEN RIVER
INTEREST IN OLD sun
sECr rs RRvTvNG.
mr. n. G. nlalock. the rlonccr Open
River Worker Of walla walla.
Notes a Commcnsiable Increase OF
Interest In sahiect-FNsare Pros
pcrity OF Northwest Depends Upon
Making Rivers Navigablc.

A correspondent at walla walia
says OF the growing interest In the
open river movement throughout the
northwest as noted by Dr. N. q. Rla-
lock, the pioneer worker OF wana
Walla.
DIR, N, @. Blalock and Professor
John Lyman OF whitman college. who
have been on trip OF education IN
connection with the rivers and har-
bors Improvement campaign, return
ed yesterday with optimistic reports
OF the work.
Twenty years ago when under
took to advocate an open river prop
osltion l was met with silent uncon-
eern from the people" said Or. Bla-
lock. The project then was consid-
cred visionary in the extreme. Since
then possibilities of open river have
begun to appeal to all the people OF
the state. Now It Is surprising how
eager they are to enter into any dis
cussion Of the subject, This same
change is noted by Captain Gray OF
Pasco. himself a lifelong advocate
of the open river. who is affiliated
with me in the work.
II sent letters today TO our con-
gressmen and senators urging them
to do all they could to help secure
the passage of thesrivers and harbors
appropriation bill which win be In
troduced in congress within a few
days l told them that IL had tudg-
ed sentiment of the state Alright they
would make great political mistake
II they did not favor the bill. This
measure will follow the general sug-
gestion of the recent rivers and har-
bors congress, and will call for the
appropriation OF s500.000.0o0 for
improvements.
VIII Meet With Approval
This bill will undoubtedly COM
mand the friendship of many econ
gressmen. for the reason that almost
every one OF them has a constituent
cy that would benefit by some pro-
vision of the bill. OF course, this Is
an unfavorable time to secure ade-
quate attention to the measure, but
believe that when It comes up for
consideration 1t will make such a
strong appeal to the people Of the
country that congress will not dare
| to sidetrack 1t.
"It is not the intention OF the
rivers and harbors congress to allow
the money appropriated to be spent
foolishly. 1t Is their plan to have,
say. four commissions appointed to
look after the various interests Of the
country These commissions will in-
Lquire minutely into the needs OF their
particular district, and then in gen
eral conference the share OF each
commission will be determined"

THE CATLOW COUNTRY.
Great Valley in Lower Harney County
Is Exceedingly Rich.

There has been lots of advertising
Of Harvey valley the last few years
according to dispatch from Burns
but some of the other large valleys
in the southern part of the county
have never been mentioned.
One Of the largest is Catlow valley,
which is 35 miles long by is miles
wide. The land is rich sandy loan,
covered with large sage brush. The
principal creeks are Roaring Spring,
Home and Rock. Most Of the land
on the creek bottoms is held by the
large stock men, but the sage brush
land is still in the hands of the gov
ernment.
Three of the eastern Oregon sur
veys to California were surveyed
through Catlow valley last year, and
there is good prospect OF this feeder
being built when the main line is

called to sections 2l22 and 1928 defining
the duties OF your legal adviser.
WILLIAM SPINNER, County Auditor.

WILLIAM GflNNEk, county Auditor.
Replying tn the above the Board had
the following order placed on its
minutes:
A communication was received from
William Spinner. Auditor of this
County. stating that he had returned q
bill passed at the last meeting Of this
Board in which the Board allowed the
said Rescue Hose Co. the sum of 500
for the repair Of the Rescue hose house.
$50 Of which were charged by the Board
to the Fire Fund of the town Of En-.
reka and $40 to the General Fund Of the
county and requesting the Board to
inform him, aud to write upon the face
of the bill, under what law the Board
charged the said $40 to the General
Fund Of the county. This Bard not
knowing of any specific law setting
forth particularly that the Board is
authorized to charge such amount to
the county. it is hereby ordered that
the said $40 be paid out of the Fire
Fund Of the town of Eureka.
AS this Board does not desire Mr..
Spinner to audit any bill which he does
not consider strictly legal, still the
Board desires to call the attention Of
Mr.. Spinner aud the people Of this
county who are interested in the Court
House and it's records, and which in
800. 900, that il this Board does not en-.
courage and help the fire boys Of the
town Of Eureka. who take their lives in
their hands. as well as having their
clothing destroyed. without any com
pensation. in order to protect said Court
House aud it's records against fire with.
out any charge to the county. will the
fire boys and the people of the town
feel like turning out to protect the
Court House aud its records against
fire. while the people of this town have
allowed so cents per year. and ever as
high as 81 per year. to be levied on
their property to provide adequate fire
protection for the town. Court House
and School House, without a word of
complaint.
The Board would also call the atten.
ton of the public and Mr.. Spinner to
the following laws. Section 8 of Section
2l11, clauses l and 8, which state that
the Board shall have the power and
jurisdiction to make orders respecting
the property of the county in conformity
with any law Of this State, and to take
care Of and preserve such property and
to control and manage the property. real
aud personal. belonging to the county,
etc.
In addition this Board has repeatedly
asked the opinion of grand jurors from
the north end Of the county if it would
not be right and just to have the county
pay part Of the expense of the fire
department for the protection Of the
Court House and its records. aud have
invariably been informed that they con
sidered a part Of the expense just aud
proper. or course. we understand that
grand juries do not make laws. but the
intelligent opinion Of a grand jury
should carry some weight where the
construction Of law is in doubt.
The Board adjourned to Wednesday,
August 10. for the purpose of arranRilg
an advertisement for the construction
of a bridge across the Big Ditch on
Bateman street.

new COURSE OF STUDY ADOPTED
The Organization Of Primary and High
Schools On q Uniform Basis

The State Board OF E location held a
meeting in Carson City on August /. at
which a course of study prepared by the
deputy superintendents for the uniform
use in the schools of Nevada was re.
viewed and adopted. The manuscript
went iuto the hands Of the State Printer
last Tuesday for publication. and the
course Of study is expected to be ready
for distribution about the first of Sep.
TENDER. Fifteen hundred copies have
been ordered for the first publication.
More will be printed as soon as they
are needed.
The new course Of study does net
materially change the work of any of
the grades, although the deputy super.
intendents were unanimously in favor
of reducing the required subjects to a
number which will insure thorough
work. The full school day of five aud
one.half hours. five days each week. for
SO weeks. will be required to complete
each grade as outlined. and eight terms
will complete the work OF the first eight
grades which constitute the primary
school. A diploma from the primary
school will admit the holder to any high
school in the State without further
examination.
A high school course of study pre-
pared by a committee of 81 prominent
men in educational work was also
adopted by the State Board. and will be
a part Of the manual containing the
course for the primary schools. The
high schools will be organized on the
basis Of four years work in the pre-
scribed subjects. A diploma from
a standard high school will admit the
holder to the best universities and COL
leges without further examination.
This places the organization Of the
schools upon the same plane as those of
California and other States having a
we'll organized system Of education,
and is expected to make for efficiency
and progress to a large extent.
