WALKER RIVER MAY HAVE
RECLAMATION PROJECT

j. c. Stevens, an irrigation engi-
neer in private practice in Portland,
Oregon, who recently completed the
task of completing reconnaissance
work in the Walker River basin, left
Sunday for his home.
His duties were the checking up of
surveys made by the service several
years ago and the reviewing OF the
more or less fragmentary data con
corning the subject on file in the
Fallon Office.
The Walker river water rights
have BEN in an unsettled condition
for years, according to Mr.. Stevens,
bat prospects point to its adiudiea-
ton. Two Of the largest owners of
water rights-Pacifc Livestock Co.
and I, b. Rckey-have agreed to
submit differences to an arbiter.
The Walker river basin and water
shed present feasible irrigation
scheme of great magnitude. In 1902
and again in 1905 the u. S. r. S.
made extensive surveys in the basin.
which failed to develop into project
because, among other things, the
landowners would not consent to u
subdivision required by law. Hence
the scheme apsed into nothingness.
1t is claimed, however, that the slim
ulus behind Mr.. Stevens recently
completed field work is embodied in
in the governments desire to de-
termine whether land Withdrawals
made uGder the terms of the recla-
nation law shall be further withheld
from entry or restored to entry and
turned over to exclusive private
enterprise. -Fallon Standard.

PLANS FOR TIE EATH
HOUSE ABOUT COMPLETE

Plans heve about been completed by
the members of the Kill Hare Kub,
who are taking the lead in the mat
te", for The building OF suitable
oath house at Walker Lake.
1t is proposed TO buy the Miners
Union Hall at Luckyboy, which
with few alterations, should prove
admirable for the purpose, j. II.
Miller has offered the use of his big
team for the purpose of moving the
building To the lake shore, and the
money that has been subscribed is
sufficient to purchase the structure
and pay the carpenters, aad if all
goes we'll the bath house should be
ready for use by the first of Juue
Walker Lake offers the best
attractions to bathers of any body
of water in the State, and it is
doubtful If its advantages in this re-
spect can be surpassed any place.
The lake abounds with gamey fish.
which include several varieties of
trout and perch and bass, the two
latter being the most numerous.
When the agricultural resources of
Southern Nevada are developed and
the country becomes more thckly
populated, Walker Lake will be the
pleasure ground OF the entire section.
and our little bath house will give
place 10 u more pretentionS resort.

about 1886, and yet there is a wide
field for comparison in the way of
qualification for the two positions.
The most important factor that
enters into the success of a school
is the personality of tbs teacher.
If she has charge of 20 boys and
girls the value of that with which
she works cannot be measured in
dollars and cents.
Many men are opposed to rails
ing the wages of teachers who make
good because it will increase taxa
ton a few cents, yet this same
class of individuals never hesitate
to take a long hand in some game
of chance.
The Spring examination for
teachers occurs on Thursday and
Friday of this week. We hope
and expect all teachers who do mot
hold valid certificates in this coun-
ty and who plan 70 teach next
year will present themselves at this
time for examination.
We feel that we must caution
our teachers again about making
the report to this Office coincide
with the school register. Com
plant has come in from two diff
ferent districts along this line dur
ing the past month. We must re-
peat, teachers, be definite in your
reposts.
The anpounc ements for the sum-
mer session in the State Normal
at Springfield have reached our
desk. We note a strong corps of
teachers has been retained for the
session aud a wide range of sub
Jects is offered to prospective stu
dents for study. The session be-
gins June 10th and closes July IA.
Section 14S of our South Dako.
ia school laws reads in part "Ey.
cry person having under his con-
troll a child between the ages of
eight and fourteen years, both in
elusive, shall annually cause such
child to regularly attend public or
private day school for the entire
term during which the public
school in the district in which he
resides is in session." The law
provides for a minimum fine of
$40 for the first offense.
There were s5 applicants at the
eighth grade examination last
week. We have given a prelimin.
airy review of a considerable num-
Der of the manuscripts and are
very we'll pleased with the grade of
work shown. We hope to get
through with the marking of these
papers in about two weeks. The
pupils should understand, however
that they are to continue on with
their word the same as though
their examination was still before
them.
We get a great many interesting
answers in nj eighth grade manu-
scripts. One of the questions in
spelling was to give two rules in
spelling and an example of each.
Here are two answers that we
found which made us smile
always pronounce the words cor.
rectly and take deep breaths."
Spelling is for wrighting and to
know what words to use with capt.
tai letters"
We were much pleased with the
way in which SO many of our
teachers took interest in the alfal-
ia train which was in this county
last week. Bon Homme county is
q strictly agricultural county and
our interest, first, last md all the
Time. should be to promote every.
enterprise which has for its ulti-
mate aim, better homes, churches
and schools. These cannot come
without prosperity, and all pros
