The registry list of Wabuska pre-
cinct has increased by ten names since
the primary election.
NJ Morgan, of the firm of Hall &
Morgan, has been transacting bust
mes sin San Francisco this week
Matt Penrose and family found
their last trip to Blue Lakes not
very pleasant one as the weather was
uncomfortably cold and disagreeable
| No fish, no venison
Mr.. Jesse Ferris who is living on
the old Bernard ranch, is building a
very stylish bungalow near the Wa
buska road. Such improvements are
evidence of industry and prosperity.
The barbecue at the halfway house
near Thompson last Sunday attracted
large crowd of people, both male
and female. Eatables and drnkables
were there in abundance and it took
some of the boys several days to di-
gest the latter.
The trusees of Gallagher School
District laid new floor in the school
house last Saturday and celebrated
the event by giving dance on that
evening. 1t was very sociable neigh
borhood affair The Parker orches-
ira furnished the music. Grove Young
received a prize for being the home
liest man present and John Parker for
having the largest feet.
The Game Warden caught Piute
hunting without license. He claim
ed he was only shooting mudhens,
but the Warden though he might
shoot duck by mistake The Justice
of the Peace put an X-ray on the In
dian, discovered $40 and had that
amount transferred to the county
treasury. I'VE have understood that
Indians do not have to pay license
for hunting
Your correspondent thinks money
invested in water storage would do
Nevada more good and bring more
good, substantial settlers to the State
than spneding it for fair in San
Francisco. There is not water enough
now, in the average year, to supply
settlers that have been here for years.
Give us the water for our lands and
the settlers will come fast enough
and we will do the rest.
James Stice, formerly railroad agent
at Wabuska, and now of the commits
sion firm of Palmer & Stice, of Reno,
has been canvassing the valley for
spuds this week. He says there are
about 500 acres in spuds this year and
| he ,a11 NIL he ,-rI
to the acre. The quality is above the
average. Japanese farmers near the
old Cleaver station have the finest po-
tatoes he has ever seen. What about
the price?
The people of Wabuska School
District No, 5, Railroad District No.
20 and Thompson District are agi-
tating the proposition of consolidating
the three districts and having a graded
school at Wabuska. The small, un-
graded schools do not give our coun-
try pupils the advantages that town
pupils have and it is an inducement
to ranchers to quit farming and move
to some town or village in order to
educate their children. 1t is their own
fault. Let them consolidate and have
school rooms as well equipped and
handled as those TO be found in town.
The children in District No 5 go to
school on horseback and in carts and
buggies and mile, more or less,
makes but little difference. Besides it
would be handy to get daily mail or
send for paper of tea or bunch
of matches at the corner grocery,
when in need of these articles.
