No Water Rights
For Corporations

The following ruling was made by the

"In the matter of application of COR
porations for water rights on reclama
ton projects. l am satisfied that Con.
gress did not intend these reclaimed
lands, upon which the Government is
expanding the money of all the people.
should be the subject of corporate con
troll. These lands are to be the homes
of families. This seems to me to be
established conclusively by the fact that
we are authorized to fix the farm unit
on the basis of the amount of land that
will support a family.
"Those corporations which are in ex-
istence to which water rights have been
granted should be allowed to continue
without interference, and in view OF
part decisions it may be the wise policy
to grant to corporations. which have at
this date made application. such right.
No more such applications should be al
lowed, and this should be the rule OF
the Department"

Star Mine Closed Down

At the Star mine IN Cherry Greek,
White Pine County. the pumps were
pulled a few days ago. indicating that
the company does not intend to do any
more work there for some time, IL ever.
The people of the Cherry Creek district
have been expecting operations would
be resumed at the Star aud that a good
many men would again be employed.
The pulling of the pumps finally blasts
their hopes in that direction, however.
as it is said the company will not even
lease the property to any one else.
The Star mine has a record of having
been a profitable producer in the early
days of the camp and it shipped silver
ore that was worth SIC. 900 a carload.
1t changed hands after that time and
has been operated off and on at various
times for the English company that
owns it, bat for a period of nine years
from $50. 900 to $50. 900 a year was spent
in only keeping it clear of water. Sew
eral mills were erected for treating the
lower grade ores. the last one a couple
of years ago. 1t was apparently not
adapted to the ores as it was operated
for only a short time aud then clio sed
down.
The Star is owned by the old Glasgow
& Western Exploration Company that
was recently wound up after having
been run into debt by the American
management without the knowledge of
the directors.-Ely Expositor.

GOVERNMENT To PAY
THE STATE MILITIA
Proposed Law Will Make Cuardsmen
Available For Service Anywhere


Washington. July 18.-Oomplete agree
ment was reached to-day between the
War Department and the Executive
Committee OF the National Guard AS
ISOLATION on the general outline of a bill
designed to make the organized militia
available for immediate service in any
part of the world as a part of the
regular army. The measure will be
perfected in the near future and
introduced in Congress with the indorse-
ment Of the War Department and the
State militia authorities.
The proposed new law would provide
for the payment of militiamen by the
National Government, the payments to
be made in lump sums to the State au-
thorities and disbursed upon reports by
inspectors of the regular army, testifyine
to the complete efficiency of the militia
to be paid. 1t would overcome the effect
OF a decision by Attorney General Wick
ersham, that the militia could not be
used outside of the territorial limits Of
the United States. This Is to be &C.
complished by maintaining the militia
in strict accordance with the regular
army organization and by transferring
the organization bodily, officers and
privates. into the regular army, in case OF
need.

STATE EDUCATORS IN SESSION
Besides Revising Course of Study
They Will Arrange to Pur-
chase New Text Books

Carson News: Deputy Superintend.
ents Of Public Instruction, @. e. Ander-
son.. A. b. Lightfoot, ]. f. Abel. E. E.
Winfrey and B. G. Bleasdale are in this
city in semi. annual session with State
Superintendent Bray.
The meeting is in pursuance Of law
and the work embraces the apportion-
ment of State school money to the vari.
Gus counties, aud various other matters.
The State Distributive School Fund
is growing gradually smaller owing to
the payment in full on land contracts
aud the decreased revenue in some
other departments of the State. How
ever, the schools will not suffer as the
counties have raised the tax rate for
school purposes to meet the growing de-
felt from State sources. This year
there are over 500 more school children
than in 1912, SO that the apportionment
to each child will be smaller.
Another matter that is occupying the
attention of the superintendent is the
change in the course of study required
by an Act of the last Legislature, which
provides that bookkeeping and com
mercial branches shall be taught in the
eighth grade. The new course of study
will provide for the added branch.
Plans are also being perfected for
holding district institutes in each sup.
ervision district some time before the
holidays. These will take the place OF
the State institute this year and will
bring out a larger average attendance
than the State institute.
With the opening of the schools plans
will have been completed for supplying
all the students with free textbooks
and all other needed equipment for
school work. It is estimated that il
will cost about % for each pupil or $40,
900 for the State. The money will be
provided by county taxation and will in
no way impair the regular school funds.
1t develops that q peculiar condition

matter of school moneys and finances.
The State owns over two million dol.
lars worth Of Massachusetts,. Idaho and
United States bonds that bring interest
at a rate of 2.65 to 80 per cent. AT the
same time there are about the same
amount of bonds in this State outstand'
ing, issued by different counties to build
high schools and for other purposes.
on which the interest rate is six and
eight per cent.
This condition will hardly happier

is readily seen who is the debtor and
who the creditor in these transactions
and how this State is paying a premium

Los Angeles Examiner Quotes Wood
burn in Dispatch From Washington
The Los Angeles Examiner. under
date of July IS. carries a dispatch from
Washington in which District Attorney
Woodburn of Reno, Nevada, is quoted
on the divorce question. The Examin err
dispatch follows:
Washington. July 18.-According TO
District Attorney William Woodburn OF
Reno, it is costing his home city 81, 000,-
900 a year because Reno no longer is the
mecca for divorce seekers. But. he
says. the change is worth the price.
1.-THE idea was widespread" he said
to-day. "that the only people in Nevada
were those who were divorced or who
were about to become so. Settlers kept
away. and any one going from Nevada
to another State was greeted with a
smirk.
"The unfortunate notoriety was o
tinually increasing. but the change in
the law which requires a one year resi-
dence before divorce. has ended Me-
vada's most exploited industry.
Keno is losing $1,000. 900 a year
through the fitting of the divorce colony
but it is worth the money to have the
'mismates' gone. We can go out of Me-
vada now without being laughed at, aud
our more stable industries are coming
to the front aud attracting permanent
instead Of transient residents"
