HIGH SCHOOL AND
INSTITUTE NOTES

Mr. Gardner, the popular and eff
cient leader of the city band, has re-
turned from San Francisco and VIII
take immediate charge of the High
school orchestra. This will insure some
good numbers from that organization
at the Teachers Institute next week
Besides this. the young ladies' quar-
tette of the High school, which did
such excellent work last year, has been
reorganized and will give several num-
bers at the Institute. 1t will be worth
attending just to hear them sing.
In addition to that male quartette
is hard at work and may give some
music on that occasion, and last, but
not least Miss Alice Wagner. Miss
Erma DeMotte and Miss Mildred
Jewell will give readings at intervals
through the program.
Our basketball teams have sent
challenges to several of the schools
about to play here at the time of the
Institute. but up to date no school has
seen fit to accept. What is the matter,
neighbors? Cold feet?
Two new students have enrolled
with us within the week. Still the
story grows Hurry up with that new
Reno High scnool has sent a ehal-
lenge to us to play them a game of
football here in November and the
boys are very anxious to accept this,
but may not be able to do so. The
trouble lies with the parents at home,
who withhold their consent to allow
the boys to play. The prejudice
against the game is based upon their
knowledge of the game played few
years ago. This is really quite unjust.
for under the new rules and with the
elimination of all "mass plays" fly
ing tackles" etc, and with the intro
duction of the forward pass and the
"open plays" the game of football is
entirely stripped of its former dangers.
Let ns hope that a lot of this preju-
dice may be overcome.
Vacation all of next week on ac
count of the Institute. Institute pro-
grams will all be held in the High
school
The city band has promised TO help
out in entertaining the visiting peda-
gogues. They couldn't get anything
better.
The faculties of the two schools will
hold a combined faculty meeting In
the High school at 3:45 this after
noon to perfect the plans for next
week.
Grammar school girls out-pointed
the High school girls in a practice
game of basketball last evening. Girls,
what is the meaning of this?

DEEPENING WE'LL AND
TUNNELING FOR IRRIGATION

In successfully reclaiming and irri-
eating 200 acres of sagebrush land by
pumping water II. Stoker, of the Up
per Valley, has demonstrated the prac-
ticability of pumping for irrigation
In this valley. The land in question is
situated just east of the county bridge
one mile from town.
Mr.. Stoker has been pumping water
for this tract of land for two years
past. He has sunk a large well at the
foot of the river bank. From this he
draws the water with 10-inch suction
and 14-inch discharge centrifugal
pump. raising it altogether about 80
feet from the well TO the level of the
field.
Just now he is starting on further
development of this water supply. BY
sinking 6-inch casing i'm the bottom of
the we'll last year he developed
strong flow OF water at fifty feet in
depth. Now a casing SKIS will be sunk
in the bottom of the present well. The
water will be kept down with the large
centrifugal pump driven by electric
motor, while the dirt will be hoisted
with a team and derrick
From the bottom of this well. when
sunk as deep into the gravel as possi-
BILE. viii be forced out perforated pipes
which win act as feeders. While this
well is in the edge of the river bottom
ii is said il does not get its supply
from the river. for the level of the
water i'm the we'll is above the level of
the water in the river. nor has the well
dried up with the drying up of the
river this summer. Even now there Is
quite stream of water running from
the we'll into the river.
BY this deepening and tunneling
Mr. Stoker expects to develop a sup
ply of water that win be sufficient for
twice the acreage now cultivated and
will further demonstrate the feasibili-
ty of pumping for irirgating large
tracts of land.-Review-M Miner

In regard to the committees recon-

The grand jury's recommendation
regarding dogs win hardly meet with
popular approval. 1t would seem that
so long as a dog Is either muzzled OF
leashed, the public Is amply protect
ed. Owners of dogs who pay license
are entitled to some little considera-
tion and those who do not pay should
lose their dogs. 1t might be we'll to
amend the ordinance to provide that
all dogs found roaming the streets al
night. whether muzzled or not, be
killed.

COYOTE NUISANCE
GETTING WORSE

Rabid coyotes are still in evidence
in this part of the county. and scarce
~ a day passes but what one or more
are killed. The Silver State is in re-
ceipt of the following communication:
McDermitt New, Oct 16, 1915.
Editor Silver State:-I have seen
several notices in the Silver State
about rabid coyotes, but believe they
are worse in this locality than in any
other section of the state.
The other night one came to one of
the sheep camps of LaSalle Bros,
where herder and camp tender were
in bed 1t chewed a hole in the tent
large enough to permit 1t to crawl
through, and then attacked the bed
canvas. The two men got up and
fought it off, but owing to the dark
ness were unable to kill it. In the
morning they found the coyote lying
dead a short distance from the tent
Two or three nights later another
coyote visited the same camp, on this
occasion finding but one man there.
This one tore the tent in pieces. drove
off the dog, and then sat down. wait
ing for daylight presumably intend
ing to get the man. But it worked out
the reverse way. With the breaking of
dawn the herder got up and killed the
coyote
People here are of the opinion that
the government should take charge of
the situation and do something to ex-
terminate these pests.

XIII Coyote at Buckley Ranch


At the Lewis Buckley ranch, two
miles north of Golconda, Saturday
morning Mrs. Buckley was awakened
by a coyote and dog fighting in the
yard. She called to her husband and
he said for her to get the rife while
ne was dressing. Mrs. Buckley re-
membered that the rifle was in a
wagon some distance from the house
and she started out to get the weapon.
The coyote saw Mrs. Buckley and left
the dog and ran after her. She gained
the wagon first, jumped into 1t and
climbed on the seat The coyote then
tackled the dog again. In the mean
time Mr.. Buckley came out of the
house, his wife handed him the rife
and he shot and killed the coyote.
The same afternoon Mr.. Buckley
was riding on horseback over the
ranch, when his dog, which was fol-
lowing him, began to show all the
symptoms of madness, swapping
frothing at the mouth, with eyes dis
tended. The dog started after the
horse, swapping viciously. Mr.. Buck
ley stopped at a gate. got off his
horse and picked up hammer, with
which he killed the dog.
