HELP OUT the LOCAL PAPER

Churches, Lodges. Schools and Socie-
ties Should Have Own Reporter
The publisher of this paper desires
to urge its readers to help US out by
sending in the items of news they
know.
1t seems that every community in
which a paper is published expects
its newspaper men to know every
thing that is going on-never thinks
of telling the publisher the items
they expect to see in the paper. but
blames him if he fails to learn of
them himself.
Why can't every church, school,
lodge and every other society in our
community have a reporter of its own
whose duty it would be to see that
news regarding it was sent to the
paper. The publisher of the SENTI-
MEL would appreciate such a plan
and would gladly print every item
furnished.
There is not a church, school or
other organization that does not have
real, interesting happenings every
week, and if these were reported our
local paper would be chuck" full of
interest in every issue. Our Sunday
schools could furnish news; the pub
lie schools in town and surrounding
country could furnish news; every
lodge could report its meeting. All
that is needed is a determined effort
on the part of the associations them
selves. Surely the paper does its
part in granting the space free.
A great many people feel that
they cannot write well enough, or do
not understand what is wanted well
enough to act as such a reporter, but
all of this is a mistake. All a paper
asks is that it be given the news and
if it is not gotten up correctly for
publication, some one in the office
will be only too glad to put it in
shape for publication. Do not CEN

Take a walk through the cemetery alone and you will pass the
resting place of a man who looked into the muzzle of q gun to see
if IL was loaded. A little further down the slope is a crank who
tried to show how close he could stand to a moving train while il
passed. In stroning about you will see the monument of the hired
girl who tried to start the fire with kerosene, and a grass covered
knoll that covers the boy who tckled the mules tail. That tall
shaft over q man who blew out the gas casts q shadow over the boy
who tried to get on a moving train. Side by side the pretty crea.

BILL MAY SECURE
MONEY FOR NEVADA
Measure Introduced by Senator
Pittman for University and
Road Fund

A copy of Senate bill 7109 intro
duced on December 20 by Senator
Key Pittman of Nevada, has been
received from him with some expla-
nation of its objects. g
The bill seeks to provide a source
of revenue through the sale of public
lands of the United States, for the
aid of the University of Nevada and
for road construction in this State.
Senator Pittman announces that
through the development of the lands
he finds the only means of getting
revenue for these purposes. Senti-
ment in the lower House of Congress
is strong against granting more land
directly to the States even for school
purposes and it is impossible to get
a grant of land for the University
and roads in this State. The pro-
posed law. Senator Pittman says,
has the approval of the Department
| of the Interior. The bill has been
referred to the committee on public
lands.
A summary prepared here of the
provisions of the bill follows:
The Secretary of the Interior is
authorized to grant to persons or
corporations a permit giving the ex-
elusive right over a period of two
years to drill or explore for water
over a space of not more than 1850
acres of open land which cannot be
economically irrigated from surface
sources. Work must begin in six
months and be diligently prosecuted.
If water is found and shown to be
sufficient to raise crops, other than
native grasses, on 20 acres or more,
the permittee then has the right to
select and patent o~ne-fourth of the
tract in the permit. The other three
fourths is reserved and sold at auc-
ton by the Interior Department in
farm units of 40 acres or more on
payments of not more than five an
nual installments.
One-third of the proceeds from
sales goes into the reclamation fund;
one-third to the State Of Nevada SOLE
ly for the University and one-third
for a road fund administered in Ne
vada by the Secretary of the Interior.
A board is provided for consisting of
the United States Surveyor General
in Nevada. the State Engineer and
an appointee of the Secretary of the
Interior who is to be named chair
man and superintendent. This board
is to be appointed when there is
enough money to pay for the loca-
ton. survey or construction of one
| road.
The success of such a scheme for
producing revenue would depend on
a combination of the enterprise of
searchers for water and the demand
for lands demonstrated thus capable
of irrigation.
For example. if a man gets a per-
NIT for 2560 acres and finds enough
water in two years he gets for him.
self $40 acres which at $40 as an ar
bitrary value would mean $1,000 for
less than two years work with a drill.
The three-fourths left, 1920 acres,
would be divided and two-thirds or
1880 acres would come to the use of
the State, half for the University
and half for roads. At an arbitrary
of $40 an acre this would mean $64OO
for each purpose payable in five
years or less. This would be the net
result of the reclamation of each
tract two miles square.

MUST ELECT new
MEMBER TO ASSEMBLY
Death of Assemblyman Spen'
Ger Reynolds Creates Va
cancy; Many Issues
Are Involved

der the constitution OF the State,
for Governor Boyle to call a
special election to fill the va
cancy created. Section IL Of ar
ticle 4 of the Constitution pro-
vides for filling vacancies in the
Legislature. 1t reads:
"When vacancies occur in
either house the Governor shall
issue writs of election to fill such
vacancy"
Under the law governing spec
ial elections, passed by the 1913
Legislature. it will be impossible
to hold a special election to fill
the Eureka County vacancy until
after the Legislature convenes
next Monday. The law provides
that at least eight days previous
to the time of holding any spec
ial election notices of such cleo
ton shall be posted by the regis
try agents and that IA days be-
fore such special election the
County Commissioners shall
cause their County Clerk to send
to registry agents such notices Of
election.
By statutory provision, section
2797 of the revised laws, it is
made mandatory on the part Of
the Governor to issue the writ Of
election, set the date of the cleo.
ton and command the County
Commissioners to notify the cleo
ton officials.
The question OF party nomina.
tons also is involved, but. in the
opinion of local attorneys. the
respective County Central Com.
mittees will have the power to
name the party nominees.
Since the death of Reynolds,
there has been considerable spec.
ulation as to what effect it will
have on the organization of the
Assembly, the Republican and
Democratic membership of which
is nearly a stand-of.
With Reynolds, who was q
Republican, removed from the
Assembly by death, the political
complexion of the lower House
will be rs Republicans, rs Dem
ocrats and one Socialist, provided
the three non partisan and two
Independent members line ur
with the respective parties with
which they have affiliated in the
past.
