Discussing Books
That Will Be Used

The State School Book board met
in the capitol this morning and per-
fected their organization. This after
noon they took up in turn the several
books being recommended by the
agents of the publishers and listen
ed to their recommendations. 1t
will probably take several days for
the board to hear all that is to be
said of the merits of each set, and
then the adoption or rejection Of TIE
books will be settled by the board
The matter of using the label Of
the Typographical Union will be me
point advocated in the discussion.
The printers have asked by resolu-
ton that the school books adopted
bear the label of their organization.
AS this body of men represents the
best there is in the trade, it will
probably be of weight in the selcc-
ton of the books used for the COM
ing term.

at the point where Carson valley

to drink in the beauty of the scene.
Arriving at the Glenbrook, Mr.. Joy
remained there short while, then,

Resent Paying Csc
for Their Partners

The dance on the open-air platform
last night, while a success socially,
was not the financial boom that the
committee had a right to anticipate.
The platform which cost a very large
sum of money, is right in every e.
spect. The floor is of good lumber,
finished for dancing, and with just
the right amount of spring to make
it pleasure. The music was so good
that it was the talk of the town. The
full band was out in uniform and they
can and do play dance music that is
not to be surpassed in any city and
the most modern music is always on
their stands. Such band could not
be employed, in the regular way, for
four times the amount OF money TAX
en- in at the gate last night. The
dancing began promptly at 9 and end
ed at H.
The system of charging for admis.
sion of ladies is something out Of
the usual in Carson, and the youAs
men of the dancing contingent were
reluctant to stand the expense, which.
accounts for the scarcity of ladies or
the floor. These dances are given FIR
the purpose of raising money with
which to improve the Fourth of July
celebration and it was thought that
a little extra cost would not meet
with any serious opposition-but t
did
The committee in charge will prob
ably try some other plann fer making
the dances popular and doubtless with
success. Next Saturday night an
other dance will be given, and as soon
as. the committee arranges the mat.
ter it will be given publicity in these
columns.
