Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1915-07-10

For the second time in her recent
history, Aurora has done herself
proud in the celebration of the Ma
tional holiday. Almost the entire
population of Sweetwater, Bodie and
Bridgeport, Mono Lake and other
nearby towns was present, and the
welcome that was accorded them
speaks highly of the ability of the
men to whom the management was
entrusted.
On Sunday the preliminary num-
bers of the program, consisting of
children sports and races, were
featured, all of them being closely
contested and liberal prizes being
awarded to the winners.
On Sunday evening the big Indian
war dance occurred. Owing to
the fact that one of the principal
performers in this feature had kicked
the life out of his squaw on the day
previous, the balance of the tribes
men We're somewhat loath TO part-
cipate Nevertheless the dance
was well worth seeing
The literary exercises were pre-
sided over by Albert Burch, who
opened the affair with an able ad-
dress in which he called attention to
the fact that the hills OF, Aurora had
already produced their share of the
gold that savel the nation in time of
stress, aud predicted that if the
country should be drawn into the
present world conflict, Aurora would
again be able to furnish fair proper
tion of the sinews of war.
Mr.. Burch was followed by Miss
Maud Conway of Sweetwater who
read the Declaration of Independence
in IL manner that would rouse the
| patriotism of the most phlegmatic.

from the crowd.
The ball game between Yerington

high score.

The Torrens System.

An effort was made during the ses-
sion of the Legislature to pass a law
similar to that known as the, Torrens
system of registering titles to real
estate, which is now in operation III
some other States. The measure was
continued to the next session, but our
prediction is that the Torrens system
will yet be adopted in South Carolina.
1t saves much confusion and expense
when real estate is mortgaged or con-
veyed to another person. Under the
present system of recording titles,
every time a land owner borrows
money upon his real estate the expense
of making an abstract of title is in
Cured, especiallyif the loan is obtained
from different source each time. Ac-
cording to our understanding of the
Torrens system, g certificate from the
clerk of court as to the status of the
title, etc.. is all that is necessary.
Whenever measure chat has real
merit in it is introduced in the legisla-
ture sentiment in its favor continues to
grow until it finally becomes law.
So it will be with the adoption of the
Torrens system.

yery Profitable Session.

There is generally feeling of relief
when the legislature adjourns, which
has been due possibly to the fact that
the people have received but little
real value for the money expended.
This has been particularly true for the
past four years, when the legislature
was divided by partisan politics. How
ever, new day has dawned. We have
entered upon new dispensation. The
session of the legislature just closed
has been the most profitable session
held in decade or more. Not few
politicians and demagogues were left
at home and progressive, right-think-
ing young men were sent in their
places. Then, too, the elimination OF
the old Objectionable element enabled
men of experience to accomplish some
thing for the State. More constructive
measures have become law than here
tofore seemed possible to enact at one
session. This was made possible by the
utmost harmony that characterized
the session and also through the help
full cooperation of the governor.

Setting Things to Right.

twill take Governor Manning some
time to set things right, buthehas made
a good start. The thorough investiga-
tion of the asylum, with the dismissal
of the entire board of regents, is the
right step toward putting that institu-
tuition on proper basis.
The home in Columbia for Confede-
rate soldiers has for several years been
constantly before the public on account
of friction among those in charge.
Governor Manning has taken hold of
this institution with a firm grip and
will also straighten out its affairs.
Doubtless other matters of similar
nature will come up from time to time,
and the governor has shown that he
has both the courage and the execu-
tive ability to handle them wisely.

Gave Good ADVICE.

In spite of his politics, the Hon.
William Howard Taft made good
president and he is still giving advice
along the right line. In an address at
Morristown, New Jersey, a few days
ago, Mr.. Taft, in referring to the serl-
Gus invasion of the rights of America
as a neutral nation by the warning ma
tions of Europe said, in part:
"When the President shall act, we
must stand by him to the end. In this
determination we may be sure that all
will join, no matter what their previous
views, no matter what their European
origin. All will forget their differences
in self-sacrifcing loyalty to our COM
mon flag and our common country.
This admonition is ftly spoken. We
do not believe that this country is on
the verge of war, nor will it be if
President Wilson can devise honorable
means of keeping out of the conflict. Yet
it must be indeed reassuring to Mr..
Wilson to have so excellent an author
ity as Mr., Taft exhort the people toloy-
atty to the President.

Cotton May be classeds as consraband.


Those who have decided to plant
largely of cotton this year, being en-
couraged to enlarge their area on ac-
count of the recent rise in price, would
do we'll to revise their plans. 1t is
highly probable that cotton will be
classed as contraband, and that being
the case there will be a considerable
decrease in the exports. A decrease
in the supply of the raw material going
abroad will cause large surplus to be
carried into the next crop, and should
a large supply of old cotton be availa-
BILE next fall, with an average yield for
1915, it is not reasonable to expect the
staple to bringa profitable price. So
much is uncertain about the returns
from the 1915 crop that the wise far
mer will curtail the acreage, devoting
more time to food crops.

Livestock raising requires higher
