Too Early.

A large number of cattle are be-
ing driven to the summer ranges
in the mountains. The season is
very late and it is apparently bad
policy to attempt to reach the
high ranges now. There is no
feed, the snow line stands low
down as yet and the ground is
exceedingly soft in the meadows.
We have been told by the rangers
that the result is likely to prove
dlsasterous both to the rangers and
to the cattlemen. Not only will
the cattle, now in good condition,
fall off greatly in flesh but the feed
as it starts will be trampled into
the ground and destroyed. The
result will be that the number of
cattle allowed in the forest reserve
will be greatly reduced another
year owing to scarcity of feed

OVER THE KINGS
BURY GRADE

To disprove the common be-
lief that 10 b. p. automobile was
made only to run on paved streets
and level roads, Henry Helberg
accompanied by K. j. Phillips,
left Gardnerville Monday after
noon at 4 o'clock in the formers
little Brush. The Kingsbury
grade, which is said to be one Of
the steepest grades on the trans
continental trip, was negotiated
with apparent ease by the little
machine and the young men reach
ed Lakeside in time for supper.
After Arthur M. Hill, proprietor of
the resort had made signed
statement that the machine had
arrived there in perfect condition
and was the first car to reach that
point, via the Kingsbury grade
this season, the return trip was
started and completed without
mishap.

THIS BOY FOUND
A WHITE BADGER

A for mer Carson Valley boy had
real exciting time at Manhattan
a few evenings ago when he took
an active part in a fight between a
bslldog and a badger which was
the main event at social gather
ing. The Manhattan Post has the
following to say regarding that
part of the program;
About 10 g. 10. the festivities
gave way TO hostilities in the
shape of fight between bulldog
and badger. This event was the
star attaction of the big show.
There were some present who had
never seen "a badger, and when the
animal was coaxed from its liar
they recognized it at once, but
had known it by other name. 1t
wasn't in the best OF fighting trim
and the bulldog was given the Ge-
cision. The young man who
pulled the string and got the
badger into the ring was almost q
nervous wreck by the time the
ordeal vas over, and so badly
frightened when he saw the ami
NAL that he ran south about
mile and was so nearly all IN
when apprenendrd that it was
hardly worth whi e.stol bring him
back. He requested that his nam,
be with held from publication.
However, the writer will state thai
he is connected with the postollice
and Is not the postmaster either.
Arvin SouthSorth is the only
one employed in the Manhattan
Office aud it was he who was in
trod duced to the badger joke.

SHIPPED THE SALMON

This morning fifteen thousand
salmon fry was shipped from this
city to Glenbrook, where they will be
placed in Lake Tahoe. The small
fish were shipped over from the
the hatchery at Verdi and immedi-
ately transferred to a special convey
ance in order to rush them through.
For the past few seasons expert
ments have been held in planting
salmon in the Lake, A few small
fish have been caught. The expert
ment is being watched with interest
by a number who are interested in

SELECT HIGH
SCHOOL TEACHERS

The Douglas high school board
met June 10th to consider appli-
cations for the two vacant posi-
tions and attend to other necessary
business.
Miss Mary Jamison was elected
to the position of assistant princi-
pal. Miss Jamison has been
teaching in Carson for the past
two years and has filled the posi-
ton with entire satisfaction. She
leaves at her own choosing owing
to the fact that Douglas offers bet
ter inducements. She has had ten
years experience in high school
work, and is graduate of repre-
sentative college and has had post
graduate work at the Iowa state
normal and the University of Ne
braska. No doubt Miss Jamison
will be a valuable addition to the
teaching force.
The other application acted up-
on was that OF Miss Florence Bray,
daughter of the State superintend-
ent. Miss Bray graduated from
the state university this year with
high honors. She has made spec
ial preparation for teaching and
will be able to lend energy to hel
work. Besides her regular work as
a teacher, she will be able to
handle the girls athletics.

To Regulate
PubHc Utilities

The Public Service Commission as
created by the last Legislature for the
purpose of regulating public utilities
has formulated a list OF rules, regu-
lations and instructions for the bene-
fit OF all gas and electric plants in
the state. The regulations are issu-
ed in pamphlet form under the title
OF Circular No. l, and have been dis
tributed to the different companies
effected, a copy of which may be seen
at this office.
Each company operating within the
state is required to have certain tes-
ting devices, approved by the COM
mission, and the commissions Ell
gineer will assist the companies IN
maintaining a certain standard of eff
efficiency.
The accuracy of meters is defined
along with tests that may be made to
determine false registering or leak
age. 1t has been ordered that upon
formal application Of any consumer
to the public service commission, a
test shall be made upon the consum-
er's meter by an Inspector employed
by the commission, such test to be
made as soon as practicable after the
receipt of the application. For such
a test a fee of $l50 shall be paid by
the consumer making the application
for the test If the meter is found to
be slow or correct within the allow
able limit, and by the company own
ing the meter if the meter is found to
be fast beyond allowable limit

WHY A THIRD TEACHER
WAS SECURED FOR SCHOOL

principal to be in charge of the
district and if our school il to hold
its footing with other schools, we
must meet the demands of the
times. Discipline is the most i'm
portant factor in managing a
school. Where there are eighty
children in the same school under
three teachers, as here in Gard
nerville, it is evident that the
teachers must be able to cooperate
and unite as guiding principles.
No one of these teachers is able to
discipline the entire school because
all are on the same footing and all
engaged to their fullest capacity in
teaching.
Hence the district and county
boards have decided on this plan
The county pays four-fifths fthe
principals salary and tho district
one fifth. Fully one-fifth of the
time will be gwen to district
supervision, discipline and organi-
cation.
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1911-06-16

Some time ago mention was
made in the columns of this paper
that the district and county would
engage the principal Of the high
school jointly, for the coming
year.
During the past year the dis.
triet has had the benefit of the
principals supervision and direct
ion, in sofar AS his time would
permit. However no part of his
salary has been paid by the dis
trict. In order to maintain a
standard high school it will be
necessary to have larger teach
ing force than hitherto. 1t is i'm
possible for the principal and one
assistant to continue to handle
enough subjects to satisfy the state
requirements. Furthermore it is
impossible to have man super

CONDITIONS IN AFRICA.

DR.. j. o. Reavis of the Presbyterian
Board spoke before the institute at
she Methodist Training ScnooI on con-
ditions as he had seen them in Africa.
DR.. Reavis was sent by his church to
investigate the situation of their mis-
sion station in Africa. He showed the
great success his own church had met
in their efforts among the people Of
the Congo, but spoke of the mad
equacy of their means to meet the
needs of fully two million people in
their vicinity. Dr. Reavis said that
the people of the Congo, both natives
and missionaries, were praying for
the M. E. Church, South, to enter the
field. In behalf of his church he
offered our missionaries when they
came the use of their great mission
airy steamer, "The Lapsley-"
DR.. Reavis said that the white peo-
pie of the South could better adapt
themselves to the climate in Africa
than any other people in the world
He also spoke of the debt of the peo-
pie Of the South to Africa in that
much of her wealth has come through
the labor of these children of the
Dark Continent.
