The following pupils in the Empire

received state grammar school di-

The examinations passed are the

atoms covered all the elementary
branches. including drawing and mu-
sic and Mr. Bray stated that the
answers were among the very best
that he had received.
Two of the three graduates have
already entered the Carson High
school and the third is expected to
enter on Monday.
In this connection it might be ad-
ded that the examinations now being
given by the state have done much
to stimulate pupils in the smaller
schools to finish at least the common
school branches, as they then get a
state diploma that entities them to
enter any high school

The Promotion Association will
hold a special meeting Monday night
ut which q full membership is desr-
ed.
Il is also desired that the Ormsby
legislative delegation shall be pres
cnt Us matters of import are to be
discussed.
There Is movement on foot to
do lot of work around the state
capitol and the association wants to
have this work done in way that
shall bring the greatest benefit to the
capitol itself and to the city.
The capitol is no longer adequate
to house the government and addi-
tious are needed. The addition OF
the library building is such a disap-
pointing ARCHITECTURAL feature and so
absolutely different from what all
persons wanted who helped pass the
bin creating it, that care will be TAX
tors shall say exactly where and how
any more additions are to be built.
As to the necessity: The SeCre-
tary of State is absolutely at the
mercy of fire in his present quarters.
Valuable files and documents that
cover millions of dollars worth of
property are inadequately stored and
fire OF ten minutes would destroy
large numbers of these documents.
The State Controller has one vault
in which to store all his records and
the surveyor general is in the same
position. The state treasurer needs
less room than the others but ais
vaults ar inadequate and in fact His
office might be robbed any day or
night by venturesome gang who
could loot the place of quarter of
million any day or night in the
year. practically without let or him
drance.
The Governors Office is inadequate
and the attorney generals office is
not as large nor rs good as that of
any fourth rate lawyer in the state.
As for records. he has no place to
keep them.

The Justices of the Supreme Court
were to have occupied one floor OF

prevented the justices from moving.

1OkOPAHHAS
KICK COMING

The Tonopah Bonanza has the fol
! lowing to say about the attitude OF
/ newspapers in Reno on the gambling
! bill:
THE Reno Gazette is out in a big
type three-cOlumn article boosting
for the anti-gambling league, and is
going to print in big type the names
of the members of the assembly who
! vote no When the bill is up for
passage.
THE Gazette will nave to use all

run across the street and borrow type
from the Journal to print the dishon-
orable roll Of votes. The Gazette

through bankruptcy to help the town
OF Reno, as it aims, but puts for
ward no argument to prove it's as
sertiOns. 1t says the State Univer-
sity has less attendance than ten
years ago. Yes, We believe it has.
and there are reasons for that. The
writer has heard it said that parents
of children you'd not send their
sons and daughters to the Nevada
University until a change had been
made in the presidency of that insti-
tuition. But the Gazette claims this
rack of scholarship to the existence
of gambling. 1t must be a poorly

small town as Reno is. Of cOure in
TOnOpah or GOldfield where the cit
les are going ahead in population
and skyscrapers. 1t is different.
The Gazette does not care a tin,
kers damn for our good citizens in
Tonopah and Goldfeld and Rhyolite
and Rawhide and other places, who
have invested hundreds of thousands
of dollars in magnificent buildings
where licensed gambling is carried
on. Oh. no. it is ruin and devasta:
tion to the outside property owner
Anything that benefits Reno, that's
all. and to nades with the balance
of the state.
There is not representative Of
Esmeralda and Nye counties that can
afford to vote to prOhib.. licensed
gambling which would force many OF
our large property owners to tinan
cial ruin and bankruptcy. The legis-
lature should wash their hands clear
of this affair and submit the bill to
the will of the voters at the general
election in 1910. If the majority say
No gambling we acQuiesce. The BO-
nanZa will print the names of those
who oppose the Reno Gag Rule

sincerely hopes that both the assem-
bly, and the senate say. "The gamb-
ling controversy must be submitted
to the people Of this state al gen.
eral election to be held IN November.

have done your duty to both sides.

BIG PLANS
ARE MADE
READY

Senate bill No. 13, the bill that au-
thOrlZes the state engineer to gather
data for the conservation of the ma
! tural resources of the state, amends
! the law in relation to conduct of wat.
er applications and the ajudication
of water rights and other matters
pertaining thereto, was signed by
governor Dickerson today and is now
a law.
| In order to show just what the ap-
preparation for the office of the State
Engineer is for, that office nas fur
nished a statement of the plans.
There are three projects in hand
that will consume the attention OF
that Office for the next two years
They will necessitate the surveying
of great tracts of land and the op-
portiOnment of the water in all these
districts, calling for the service OF
a crew of surveyors which will be
is completed.
The first of these works will be
the water project on the land be-
tween LOvelOck and Winnemucca on
the Humboldt river. There has been
considerable trouble in this district
relative to the water rights and liti
cation has cost large sum of money.
BY complete survey of these lands
and a determining of the water rights
and an apportionment OF tne water
the litigation will be saved and un-
der the law, which passed the pres
ent session of the legislature, the
standard of apportiOnment has been
fixed and there can be no deviation
from that standard.
Later, the Truckee river will come
in for its share of work. according to
the plans of the office. The office
has a list of names of irrigatOrs on
this stream and a great deal of the
time will be taken up with the deter
mination of titles to water
The lower Carson valley which has
been under government attention for
the last few years will also come
under the supervision of the
state engineers Office. Government
surveys have already been made of
the valley and the data gathered by
them will be used as far as posi-
BILE
not look big to one who does not
know anything about conservation OF
water or the work that is connected
with the surveys of all these lands
and the appOrtionment of water, but
it is figured that it will take over

the large force that the office now

The bill which is now before the
Governor for his signature means
more to the irrigatOrs Of this state
than any other measure which has
so far been passed The govern
ment reclamation service. recOgniz-
ing the importance of the work has
offered the state engineers Office all
assistance possible and as their work
is considered accurate in every res
pect the Office is fortunate in having
Its assistance.
There are 400 applications for wa
ter in the state engineers office which
if under the new law, would bring in
to the state treasury the sum Of $l0,-
900. 1t can readily be seen that the
office will be practically salf-suppOrt-
ing for a time and under the direction
of competent men will be a saving OF
the state.

Pruning Helps to Keep
