APPROPRIATES
$4,000 FOR WASHOE INDIANS

An appropriation providing for
300 pupils at the Stewart Indian
School in place of the $50 that they
are now enabled to accommodate
there, has been allowed by the senate
of the United States, and it is almost
an assured fact that the appropria-
ton of $25,000 for new buildings,
$4,000 for the irrigation system of the
farm at the school and $4,000 for re-
pairs and improvements, will pass
ed by both the house and senate.
This is the largest increase ii any
appropriations that have been allow
ed in the United States for Indian
Service
A bill has also passed tn house
appropriating $4,000 to provide
homes for the Washoe Indians. This
is following out plan outlined by the
Indian department. of the national
government.

PE|NG
FED TO SHEEP

For the first time probably in the
history of Douglas county corn has
been SHIPPED in for the feeding of
sheep. Early lambing of band of
ewes belonging to J. Cordova. and the
extreme cold weather of two weeks
ago, made this step necessary. The
ewes were not doing we'll on hay
rations during thee old spell and in
order to save as many of the young
lambs as possible, corn for feed was
resorted to.
We learn than the sheepmen of
Nevada have shipped in many car
loads of corn during the present
winter. made necessary by the heavy
fall of snow driving the sheep from
the ranges and the scarcity of hay in
many parts of the state.

Higher Pay and Then Pensions.

Legislation establishing a pension system for
employees in the Civil Service is not to be hoped
for at this session of Congress, even though a
bill should be reported to the Senate from the
Civil Service Committee as predicted. The two
Houses have before them long program OF
urgent legislation, and almost certainly if will
preclude consideration of the pension measure
which inevitably would produce protracted de-
bate. There is yet chance however, for favor
able action on the Nolan BILL establishing a
minimum government wage of So dav and in
creasng the pay of all classified employees who
arc now receiving not more than $1,000 a year.
The justice and necessity of some such provisions
as the Nolan bill proposes has been proved in
committee hearings, and from the standpoint of
the clerks the success of this measure is more to
be desired at the present session than the passage
of pension bill
1t is practically foregone conclusion that no
pension system will be adopted that does not re-
quire contribution to be paid from the salaries
OF the clerks, and it is important therefore. that
salaries be increased before any law is enacted
requiring a certain amount to be subtracted from
them for the future benefit of the clerks who are
battling with today's problem of existence If s
to be hoped that the friends of the clerks in Con-
gress will direct their efforts to help them toward
securing the passage of the Nolan bill Then.
if pension BILL with a provision for monthly
contribution by the clerks, is perfected and re-
ported at this session, so much the better It will
be ready for consideration at the next session
which will find the clerks in a much better No.

the Nolan bill.

the other hand, it is not at all likely that there

1t is marvellous what scent some people have
for success and failure. They detect it far
off In gauging success or failure, too, all their
faculties achieve an extraordinary acuteness.
Though they may not be keen in other ways,
nothing escapes them that may contribute to their
keenness in this way. They have sharp eye for
clothes, which, where other evidence is lacking,
offers the quickest clews. Often they will have
nothing to do with who is not we'll dressed.
Here, it should be noted, their keenness some
times leads them astray by not allowing for that
kind of success which considers itself superior to
the consideration of clothes, which can afford to
