SCHOOL," This was a greeting to one
OF the teachers at the Elizabeth Nc
Cormick Open Air School in Chicago
the other day by a puny little fellow
who had been envying the sick kiddies
the good time they we're having at
studying. working, sleeping and play
Ing all in tho open air.
Open air schools TO the number OF
nearly 500 ere now maintained all
over the United States. Some Of them
this winter in the northern states will
hold sessions when the thermometer rs
down TO zero or below. Others will
enjoy the balmy winds of Southern
California. Louisiana or Alabama. The
open air school idea is confined mainly
to these children who have tuberculo-
sis or who are run down, anemic and
likely to contract the disease.
In the open air school movement Red
Cross Seals have played and are still
playing an important part. The seal
money through the Anti-Tuberculosis
societies. has been the means for eN'
perimenting aud convincing the hard
headed school boards OF the wisdom oil

clothing and special nursing care
which the public funds could not fur

THE OLD HOME TOWN

Do you remember the lazy fellow
who used to sit around in the imple-
ment store and the barbershops in the
old home town and predict the failure
Of every boy who tried to poke his nose
above the common herd Up in the viii
lage of Salem they used to crack lots
of Jokes at the expense of lank and
ungainly young fellow who clerked in
the village grocery store, poled fat
boats on the river and split rails for
living. They called him Abe in those
days. He became president of the
United States and thousands from far
places on the earth have visited his
tomb at Springfield to do him honor
They used to make fun of Bill McAdoo
back in the home town OF course you
have heard of Bill He dug a tunnel
under the Hudson river and is secre-
tary of the treasury now. But there
are lot of old tads back in the old
home town who sort of hope that Bill

PYRAMID INDIANS
ON THE WARPATH

Unrest among the Pyramid reserva-
ton Indians, which caused them to dis
play an inclination and desire to des-
troy property belonging to white per-
sons on the reservation and lake, man.
ifested itself yesterday when 30 bucks
threatened to tear down the fences
around the James Sutcliff ranch and re-
moved from the lake two boats belong
ing to white persons, threatening to
burn them if they were placed on the
lake again, says the Gazette The In
dams showed belligerent attitude
and left only after Jack Farrell of Reno
and James Sutcliff went to the reser-
vation and secured an order instruct
ing them to leave, signed by T. D. Oil
yer, superintendent of the reservation
The Indians were led by George
Green, who has resided on the reser-
walton for many wears and who vert
to Washington several years ago to
make appeals in behalf of his tribes
men. John Toby, an Indian living at
The Willows, pleaded with the reserva-
tion braves to desist and tried to per
suade them to leave the place. The In
dians took a motor boat belonging to
Otto Herr and row boat belonging to
II. r. Parry from the lake and carried
them to the railroad track about 200
yards distant.
Green, spokesman for the quarrel
some braves, said that the whites had
no right to fish in Pyramid lake and
n right to place boats on the lake.
One Indian said that in case the
Herr motor boat was placed on the
lake again it would be burned. The
boats had been taken from the lake to
the railroad track Just a few minutes
before Deputy Sheriff Farrell and lis
party arrived
They took "Bobv Parry's boat baak
to the lake. despite the protests of the
Indians and ished in it all afternoon.
catching Is fine lake trout.
Farrell also drove Sutcliff to the res
ervation for a conference with Oliver.
Oliver said the Indians were off the
reservation without instructions Dr.
permission from him and signed an or
der directing them to return. During
the absence of Farrell and Sutcliff the
Indians were told what they had gone
after and left The Willows hurriedly.
Mrs. Sutcliff argued with the Indians
and talked them out of their intention
tc tear down Sutcliff's fences. They
said the whites had no right in the
reservation and should not be allowed
to occupy reservation land. The In
dians were not armed
Reports from the reservation are to
the effect that the Indians have been
restless ever since the arrest of C. S.
Crosby with so pounds of Pyramid lake
trout in his possession. The arrest of
Crosby has resulted in the Indians be-
ing unable to dispose of the trout, thus
cutting off a big source of their reve-
nue.-Carson News.

THE WAY OF THE TRANsGREssoR

Among the five men in Arizona who
were condemned to be hung last Fri
day, and who, at the eleventh hour,
were reprieved by the pardoning board,
is former Nevada boy, Walter Ker-
meen, who in a cowardly manner mur-
dered a friend for the small amount IF
money the friend possessed.
The conviction of Walter Kermeen is
the result of the action of pull. When
he first committed a crime in Carson
City, his father had pull enough with
the powers that were to prevent pros
ecution and the boy was allowed to 90
on his way and commit other crimes.
He went to Mono county, and after
committing various crimes of vandal-
ism around the mill of which his IA
ther was the manager, completed the
crimes by setting the mill on fire and
burning it to the ground. Again his
father came to the rescue and sheltered
the boy from the strong arm of the law.
From there the lad-secure in his Grim
inal instincts through the pull of his
father-went to Bodie, where he com
mitted a crime of vandalism in a bar
ber shop. For this he was arrested and
again his father came to his aid and
the boy was allowed to leave the state
and go to Tonopah, where in a short
time he was charged with incendiarism.
Again his father was on hand, and the
boy was allowed to leave Nevada. He
went to northern California, where in
due course of time he murdered a wo-
man of the half-world. He was not ap-
pretended and went to Arizona, where
his last crime was committed and where
he was brought to the bar of Justice.
His father has passed over the Silent
River and the boy has no one to fight
for his neck.
1t would have been far better for the
boy had he been sent to a reform
school when his first crime was com
mitted He knew his father would
stand by him and do all he could to
keep him from a prison and in conse-
quence the boy went from bad TO
worse until now he is sentenced to die
for his erimes.-Carson News.

GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE
OVER CARSON PROJECT

"The government is looking very Sc
riously into the upper Carson reelama-
tion project said Senator Newlands
in discussing reclamation projects N
Nevada. fThere is probably more good
land there that can be economically
embraced in reclamation project than
in any other part of the state, but it
Is in private hands. In order to in
duce the government TO do anything
with it, il must be made clear that ii
will be divided into small farms and
sold at reasonable prices to settlers and
that the enterprise generally win pro-
mote settlement and not land monop-
oily.
"Senator Pittman and I have had
numerous conferences with the recla-
nation authorities and with Secretary
Lane on this subject. There is good
reason to believe that the government
will take up this work energetieally
provided the land owners are reason
able and far-sighted
'tThe Truckee-Carson project will of
course proceed steadily forward. The
recent acquisition of the Lake Tahoe
dam by the government, a matter
have urged for nearly twenty years,
will mean perfection of storage on the
Truekee river and its sources and will
result in a large area contiguous to
Reno coming under cultivation.
"There will also be a large increase
in the area of reclamation that will
necessarily follow the saturation of
existing areas of reclaimed lands. The
quantity of water required for such
lands will constantly diminish and the
excess can be applied to the reclama
tion of new areas. Carson Appeal
