GREAT PREHISTORIC LAKE
IN NORTHWESTERN NEVADA

The large prehistoric lake which
flooded a number of the valleys of
northwestern Nevada at very recent
geologic date but has now passed away,
was named Lake Lahontan, in honor
of Baron La Hontan, one of the early
explorers of the headwaters of the
Mississippi. The lake covered approx
mately S,400 square miles at its great
est expansion, and in its deepest part,
the present site of Pyramid lake, it
was at least $50 feet deep-that is, it's
surface stood approximately 500 feet
above the present water surface OF
Pyramid lake. The ancient lake had
no outlet except the one that led
straight up, its water being dissipat-
ed entirely by evaporation.
A large area a few miles north of
Winnemucca is covered with sand
dunes formed since the disappearance
of Lake Lahontan. The dunes are fully
rs feet thick, and their sleeper slopes
are ON the east side, thus indicating
that the whole vast field of sand is
slowly travelling eastward. This prog
ress has necessitated a number Of
changes in the roads in the southern
pant of Little Humboldt valley during
recent years In some places in this
region the telegraph poles have been
buried SO ieeply that they have to be
splieed in order to keep the wires above
the crests of the dunes. The sand is Of
light creamy yellow color and forms
beautifully curved ridges and waves
that are covered with a fretwork of
wind ripples, and many of these ridges
are marked in the most curious manner
by the footprints of animals, which
form strange hieroglyphics that are
sometimes difficult to translate

SCHOOL TAXES SHOULD
BE BASED ON BUDGET

The governmental affairs of the state
of Nevada, in all of its branches, is
supposed to be operated on the budget
basis and the Nevada Tax commission
has, during the past three years, met
with a serious stumbling block in its
demands for district special school bud
gets by the contention of a number of
district attorneys, that section 1907 of
the revised laws of Nevada of 1912,
gave the boards of school trustees the
right to demand of the boards of eoun.
ty commissioners that they levy an ar
bitrary millage rate on all property
within the district, regardless of the
actual amount of money required or
the actual assessed valuation of the
territory assessed, says the Carson
News.
Commissioner Adamson has always
contended that this was an erroneous
Interpretation of the law, and recent
~ took the matter up with the attor
ney general, citing in support of his
contention, subdivision 13 of section
1905, revised laws Of Nevada, wherein
district special school budgets are alb
solutely required under parallel condi-
tions with levies provided for in sec
tion 1907.
The attorney general has upheld the
contention of the commissioner in.
depreciation in every detail, and com
plete budgets will be demanded, begin
ming with the current year. This will
unquestionably result in more equita-
BILE distribution of the school burden
than has formerly been possible, as IL
shown by the following illustrations:
In the past the board of school trus-
tees in certain district, which for the
preceding year had an assessed valua-
tion of Sl,0o0,00O, should decide that
they required special levy to produce
81 200. The custom has been to direet
the board of county commissioners to
make a 10-cent millage levy. In the
mean time additional property has
come into being within that particular
district, which triples the assessment
valuation The millage levy is fixed
and then produces three times the act
ual special requirements and if the
trustees hold themselves within the
limits of their original estimate, tho
excess of $4,000 at the end of the year
reverts to the general school fund and
is disbursed by the superintendent Of
public instruction, in accordance with
the law, throughout the various dis
triets of the state.
This method of final disposition ha
been an open invitation to the trustee
of the district whose property owner
have paid this special tax, to extrava
CANT and unnecessary expenditure IL
order to keep their own contribution
within their own territory.
The budget system should and wlli
control this situation.

Question of Tonuue.

Some amount of confusion Is caused
by the pronunciation of the name Of
the town Kuprulu. or Veles, in Mace
donia. The difference in nomencla-
ture is attributable to the conflict of
tongues. Kuprulu. Koprulu or Ku-
prili, is the Turkish equivalent of the
Bulgarian Valesa and the Greek We
lissa, all of which refer to the same
town in the vilayet Gas 1t was under
Turkish rule) of Saloniki. The ancient
Greek historian Polybius speaks Of
the town of Bylazors. and 1t Is be-
lieved that the Bulgarian and modern
Greek names are corruptions of this.
The Turkish form, with slight modifi-
cation, Is the cognomen OF family
of statesmen who fiourished from the
sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.
