AT THE MOVIES.


Today and tonight closes the engage
ment of that humorous story, Brew
ster's Millions, at the Iris. 1t is "a
karat comedy. Monday and Tuesday
comes the gem of dramatic produc-
lions, The Cloister and the Hearth. In
the garden Of visualized stories 1t is
relief to find the delicate fragrance
of old-time romance now and then. es-
pecially in these days of sagebrush and
cactus flower-it is wide swing from
the vigorous crudities of the cowboy, SUP
posed, Cor some unknown reason, to
OF our national life, to those chivalrous
adventures Of olden times which might
vanish from remembrance. but for
screen revival. THE Cloister and the
Hearth is story OF far higher merit
| than the SURPRISING graciousness of its
telling might indicate, and it is not
devoted to the telling of a
| powerful dramatic situation Peculiar
thing about this powerful dramatic
situation is the fact that a great
French novelist of modern times, whose
| story at least, was written later than
| 1.-The Cloister and the Hearth" used
exactly the same critical point in his
masterpiece and entirely escaped be-
ing charged with plagiarism. In all
| probability. the plot was not plagiarixed
| the entire group OF circumstances
and posture of the character was 80
! different. Two great writer's of fiction
instinctively grasped what afforded
| them opportunity for emotional develop
ment, with last chapter that was, in
each case. the browning Inspiration of
! the whole composition. The last scene
in the visualized novel has the same
dramatic fitness. the more effective that
| 1t can be seen, an exquisite piece of
artistry.

WATER TO Be RENTED HERE
m@ RENTED
Tentative Plans Afoot Provide For
Renting Water to New Private
Lands.

|. II. Kent is in receipt of advices
from the interior department in re-
ply to a letter of query directed by
him to the secretary, confirming the
previously published reports that
the official conclusions preclude the
opening of the lands of this project
TO settlement until such time as
legislation has been cleared up and
necessary Establishments have been
effected.
1t Is given out. however. that all
private lands tributary to project
bitches. for which water has not
been purchased may be served this
year upon a rental basis. This Is
the fourth year of withdrawn public
lands within this project and prob
ably the last. II Is believed by the
department officials in Washington
that by the end of next June the
projected reclamation legislation
will be passed by Congress and ap-
piled to the governments projects.

LARGE ARMY OF UNEMPLOYED
Remains In California and May Not
Come Eastward Through Ne
yada.

Sheriff j. c. Coniff returned yes
terday from Reno, where he went
Sunday to consult with Governor
Oddie In regard to the proper course
to pursue should the army of un-
employed driven out of Sacramento
Monday head this way in their
travels. Captain Donelly of the
state police, at the instance of the
governor, Is prepared to furnish
necessary aid in preserving order in
all of the counties of Nevada. Wash
oe, it is deemed, could handle any
sort of emergency such as confront
ed Sacramento, but the less popu-
lous counties probably could not.
A sigh of relief has gone over Ne
vada as a result of the action of the
municipal authorities of Sacramento
who Mondy fought with clubs and
fire engines the nondescript horde,
compelling them to retreat to the
west side of the Sacramento river,
"hcic hcdii5 NooV iDeu dIe III camp,
guarded from proceeding westward
by several hundred armed deputies.
The carrying on of the unemploy-
ed in Sacramento is said to have
been vile beyond conception. l. w.
w. leaders openly exhorted the men
to stand steadfast, assuring them
that as they proceeded eastward,
towns would be ransacked and
even womanhood would not be re-
spected The promptitude with
which the Sacramento authorities
dealt with the situation is a matter
of deep satisfaction to the counties
of this state trayersed by the Central
Pacific railroad, for it is now deemed
certain that whatever groups reach
us will be in struggling contingents
and not a mob of harassing size.
Such mobs as the one in question
are not created by men earnestly in
pursuit of work. Rather the per-
sonnel is recruited from among the
army of nondescripts that annually
visits California from everywhere in
search of mild climate Their toll
erance is the result of maudlin SYM
pathy which has come in the wake
of the reformer and the professional
economist This sympathy has
largely disappeared in the California
towns where real acquaintance with
the facts has come about and with
the disappearance of this sympathy
the bohunk army promises to quick
ly disperse through lack of sup
port. Men who will not work should
not be fed.

DEMANDS MADE FOR JUICE
Electrical Distribution Should Be
Taken up by the Government
as Business Proposition.

One hundred and fifty farmers re-
siding north of Phoenix, Arizona,
have asked the reclamation service
to provide electricity for their homes
that domestic and general farm pur-
poses may be served. When this de-
mand, which has already been made
manifest here, spreads to all of
Uncle Sans irrigation projects, the
governing officials will probably con-
elude that power distribution, where
electric generating plants exist, is
a necessary adjunct to project life,
encouraging settlement and making
life worth while generally. But the
government is slow to act even unto
encouragement.
From every direction from Fallon
comes a demand from the settlers of
this project for electricity. 1t is de-
sired for the home and for the
dairies; for pumps and a multitude
of other purposes. In short 1t is
desired for home development.

Mr. and Mrs. l. H. Kent returned
home Friday from their visit to Ha-

and other natural wonders and will
look back upon the experiences gain
ed as one of the most pleasant mem-
cries of their life.

SECRETARY COURTS PUBLICITY
Instructs His Subordinates To Act
In Consonance With Water
Users.

Secretary Lane has instructed the
Reclamation Commission to push to
completion as rapidly as possible all
uncompleted reclamation projects.
The plans made by the service, which
have received the approval of the
Secretary, contemplate the expendi-
ture of $23, 3,46O,555 during the cal
endar year 1914. This amount
covers the largest program ever out
lined in the history of the Reclama-
tion Service.
The various supervising engineers
and project managers have been in
structed to make immediate plans
TO proceed vigorously with the work
on each project, in order that the
work may be carried through in ac-
eordance with the program without
delay, and with a view to securing
the greatest possible benent to the
water users. That the wate~ users
may know exactly what is planned
the following instructions hare been
sent to the projects:
Full information concerning
these plans should be made public
through the medium of newspapers
in the vicinity of the project and
through communications adrcssed to
water users associations. the Object
being TO keep the mem befs of the as
sociations fully advised o. the pains
of the Service for the current year.
Ii is desirable that publicity shall be
given TO the details of your plans,
and for that reason, 1t is suggested
that in your communication to the
water users associations, you state
exactly on what features the pro-
posed expenditures will be made. at
the same time pointing out to them
what resulting benefits are~to be de-
rived from these expenditures. A
copy of this communication should
be furnished this Office.
The underlying motive for this
suggestion Is the belief that publici-
ty creates confidence, and that a full
understanding and knowledge of the
work being done for their benefit
will promote friendship and good
fellowship between the water users
and the Service

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS.
Law Dealing With Question Makes
Numerous Provisions.

Our attention has been called by
school patrons interested in the sub.
ject to the state law providing for
the consolidation of school districts
The provisions are as follows:
Any two or more adjacent school
districts may be consolidated
Consolidation can be effected only
upon petition OF a majority of the
resident taxpayers and heads of fam
lilies in the districts involved. The
county commissioners are required
to act upon such petitions bv adyer-
Using in a newspaper of general cir
cuation the time and place for can
yassing the petitions and hearing
arguments for and against the prop
osition The discretionary power In
such cases, now lies with the county
commissioners. Where three or
more districts propose to combine
and 1t is shown that a majority In
any one district Is opposed to the in
noyation. the county commissioners
may consolidate the remaining dis
tricts without new petitions. Fol-
lowing consolidation, the law deal
Ing with the subject provides that
the trustees shall provide means Of
transportation for children who re-
side one or more miles from the CEN
trail school. and for this purpose a
special tax levy shall be made by the
county commissioners annually,
which levy shall apply to the prop
cry of the consolidated school dis
trict. The receipts of the levy
would be a separate fund known as
the transportation fund. The law
further provides that elections may
be held upon the question OF trans
porting scholars. The school trus-
tees have authority to dispose OF
school property.
In this valley consolidation OF
schools is being agitated by earnest
school patrons in and out OF season.
IL would seem that In the territory
south of town the project meets
with a large degree of favor and
promises to mature soon.

The dance at Lahcntan Saturday
evening was largely attended, about
100 dancing to the rythm CT excel
lent music. The crowd was about
evenly divided between Fallonites
and Lahontanites and the manner in
which the residents of the govern
ment camp entertained on this occa-
sion has been the cause of many
commendatory remarks. Their Soc
ial affair Saturday evening will be
long remembered.
During the height of the affair,
the Japanese camp photographer at
tempted a flashlight picture, an
explosion following in which he sus-
tanned painful burns.
