Proposed Boundaries of
Nevada's New Land District

United States Senator Pittman of Nevada is sending out maps
of the new proposed district in Nevada tributary to the now Land
Office to be established at Elko. To explain conditions the maps
are accompanied by a statement showing reasons why the boundar-
les we're defined by survey lines instead of by counties. Following
are some of the explanations:
1.-THE reasons for creating the land district are these:
1.-THE Carson City land district is 81 remote from many parts
of the State that the expense of attending the land Office and proyid-
ing witnesses in land matters is almost prohibitive.
1.-Two land offices in the State will facilitate the transaction of
the business of the land Office.
The land Office will be more familiar with the conditions ex-
listing in each district and will be better prepared to give informa-
ton and lpass upon disputed questions.
The boundary lines between the districts, while possibly not
satisfactory to every one in the State. have been established where
itis believed that they will be of advantage to the great majority of
the people of the State In determining the convenience of the peo-
pie of the State, it is necessary to determine the convenience of those
having business with the land Office. This will require the consid-
Grafton rather of the means of transportation than of the are of
either district.
"There can be no question that it is easier to reach Elko
from White Pine, Elko, Lander and Eureka Counties. It'll is believed
that the residents of Humboldt County. living east of Winnemucca
will also be benefited by having the land Office at Elko. The north
and northeast portions of Nye County, and the northern portion of
Lincoln County were included in the Elko district because the peo-
pie living in such portions of such counties find it easier to go to
Eko than to go to Carson, as they go by way of Ely, Eureka and
Austin. The residents of southern Lincoln County, Clark, Nye and
Esmeralda Counties find it more convenient to go to Carson City
because railroad transportation exists from such counties from such
points to Carson, without going either to Salt Lake or nearly to Car
son City.
"The boundary lines do not follow county lines because the
land Office requires that the district shall be described in conform
iy with the public surveys. The land involved in the land offices
is referred TO and described by reference to public surveys, that is
sections, townships and ranges, and not by reference to county lines
The boundaries of public surveys are distinctly marked, while the
boundaries of county lines are not only not distinctly marked, but
re in many cases disputed. 1t will facilitate the transfer of papers
affecting the new land district from Carson City to Elko There can
be no confusion with regard to land matters or titles, as the papers
and mans affecting the lands in tie old district will be retained at
Carson City while the papers anil maps affecting the lands in the
new district will be sent to Elko"

ance ON the Middle Tennessee Teach
ers Association meeting in Nashville
this week of any county in the divi-
sion with the exception Of Davidson,
and these are anxious and will in
sist on having the next meeting held

This matter has been suggested to
Superintendent Harris and the corps
of teachers from this county, togeth-
err with County Superintendent John
p. Graham. The Board of Trade has
wired these officers and teachers not
Ito take no for an answer, and to get
a decision for the meeting OF the
spring of 1914 to be held in Columbia.
Should this invitation be accepted,
and it is thought it will be, and can
be placed little later in the season,
it would not only be a great event
for the county, but 1t will be great
event for the teachers, who will have
the opportunity Of seeing the best
county in the state at it's best.
The Tennessee Press Association
will meet in Columbia on May 9 and
8, and the teachers are determined
that the newspapers of the county
shall not get ahead of them and that
they will bring the pedagogues mere
at their next meeting. With more
than a dozen trains day entering
the city from the various directions
the railroad facilities are all that can
be desired, and if the teachers will
only come the people will do the rest
for them.
