Upon Mr.. Hinze's arrival here he
looked over the back issues of the
Standard and upon reading the state
ments made by Mark Austin, the Utah
sugar beet man, said he did not believe
that Mr.. Austin could know local con-
dtions and make the statements cred
tied 10 him. For instance, Mr.. Hinze
said that new ground produced beets in
this valley last year of the highest pur-
ity and containing is to 10 per cent su-
gar, something almost unheard Of. He
also said that sugar beets would rotate
with nearly any crop that can be grown
IN this valley, disproving Austin's state
ment.
The people of this section have conf
dence in Mr.. Hinze's ability to perform
the task he has set out to encompass
and are lending him hearty support,
which is greatly appreciated by Hinze,
who is builder rather than promoter.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS SYSTEM
Will Be Changed To Meet The
New Conditions. Encour.
agement Must Be Given.

Fallon's board of school trustees are
laying the foundation of strong school,
realizing that public schools are not
only necessary to a community as a
means OF educating the minds of the
growing children, but good, thorough
school is an attraction that often moves
desirable people to locate in commun-
ity when BODYBUILDING site is being
sought. We received some statistics
this week from DIR. Ed. F. Dunbar,
c'erk of the board, which show that
the board has comprehensive grasp
of local school affairs and proposes to
do all in its power to place school mat
ters on the right sort of foundation.
A fourth teacher was recently en-
ployed, the addition to the staff being
made necessary by the increasing roll
of pupils, and now plans are under way
for a thorough reorganization of the
school with view to employing a man
principal to take charge of school ad-
ministration beginning with next year.
Miss Coffrin, as the schools principal,
has struggled nobly and has succeeded,
according to the opinion of the board,
as well as it is possible for a lady tea
cher to succeed, but in the opinion of
the board certain executive work re-
quires man principal and Miss Coffrin's
faithful work will be rewarded, should
she wish to remain In the schools
throughout the coming school year BY
appointment to the vice-principalship.
To conduct the school during the
school year of 19l0.l911 along the plans
laid down, will require something over
5000, or around $1,000 more than would
have been spent this year, had fourth
teacher not been employed. In this con-
nection, it should be stated that the
employment of fourth teacher for
the present term was made possible by
the reversion to the general school
fund Of the Alpine school monies,
amounting to around $1,000, about one
third of which was diverted into the
Fallon fund. In order to carry the
plans to successful maturity it will be
necessary to raise additional funds, and
it is proposed that the general school tax
be increased from Is cents on each
hundred dollars valuation to 25 cents.
1t is pointed out that this sum will ben
eft not only Fallon district, but every
district in the county, and certainly ed
ucational affairs in the county need q
stimulus. The assessed valuation of
next year will approximate more than
$4, 900, 900, the raise in the railroads
valuation being responsible for $500, 900
of this amount.
Messrs. Thomas Dolf, j. M. Smit-
ten and DR.. Dunbar comprising the
present school board are evincing
commendable interest in local school
affairs, something that cannot be said
of all onr citizenry, and every effort
should be Tended the school trustees in
making Fallon's public schools second
to none in the state.

NO LOSS OF PRESTIGE.

In these days Of doubt and scep-
ticism OF things mining, it reeds
we'll to learn Of the success Of Mr..
H. P. Lowe while abroad. His hcN1
and grasp of things mining is to
his credit. But then he has some
thing to present which readily APP
peals to investors. A man Of varied
experience in mining, his array Of
nical knowledge Of what he had to
present This section is so we'll
known there is little hesitaticul upon
the part of investors where the pro-
moter can lay before capital such
strong evidence as can be found in
the strong mineral veins CT ohis dis
trict. But then, Mr.. Lowe had evil
demce and that is big asset. The
properties he represents are known
to be of the best, and under his
management should further develop
into still larger producers. His mines
are record properties with extensive
Gre reserves and continuous fissure
veins upon which to draw. He evil
IDENTIFY saw a big saving in acQuir-
ing capital for the erection of a
mill to treat the ores from the prep
critics he represents and controls. A
three hundred tea acquisition, in the
way of a mill. would create a boom

to be a fad just now th2r. the mine

Much was promised the frs. Of
the year, but more has been real
lied than predicted, and all this be-
cause there is I'D le,55el-ing in the
quantity or grade of the output. 1t
is remarkable in that MINI caI-, fur
nish enough fer mill to work the
product from the mine exclusively.
This is helped by the mine being in
such an advanced condition c. de-

scluticr of why mary weI-known
properties are nc. at tpreaert in az
