FENCES ON RAILWAYS
REQUIRED IN MEASURE
Provisions for Payment for All Stock
Killed Outlined in Fulton's New Bill

Killed Outlined in Fulton's New Bill
Provisions for the maintenance
of fences by railroads along their
tracks and for the payment of dam
ages for stock killed by railroad
trains, are contained in assembly bill
No. $50. introduced in the House
Monday by Fulton of Eureka and re-
ferred to the agricultural committee.
The bill calls for the construction
of suitable fences along the right-of-
way of a railroad and when such
fence has been constructed the rail-
way companies may not be held liable
for the death of any stock killed by
trains. The market price for stock
killed is to be paid when the fences
are not maintained. The roads are
also exempt from payment when
they rent land over which the rail-
way passes. and the owners have
failed to erect fences.

EUREKA SCHOOL NOTES
High School Planning to Send
two Representatives to the Dec
lamation Contest at Reno
in May

The students of the Eureka Coun-
ty High School are preparing to hold
a defamation contest for the pur-
pose of choosing two of their num-
Der. one boy and one girl. to repre-
SEM the school in the State contest
to be held at Reno about May IL.
This State contest is held annually
and any high school in the State and
certain sections of California are
permitted to enter. Aside from dec
lamation there are athletic contests
in track and field events and tennis.
The Eureka contest will be held
in April. 1t is hoped to be able to
hold it in the Opera House and to Sc
cure out-of-town judges, although
our remoteness from other towns
and schools will make this rather
difficult and expensive. Several of
the students have already begun
work on their pieces, and are being
trained by members of the high
s choo oil faculty and townspeople.
Some of the larger high schools of
the State have regular courses in
public speaking; and in competition
with these schools, with their special
courses and large number of students
to select from. Eureka is naturally
at a disadvantage; but with hard
work on the part of the students
there is no reason why we can't at
least make a creditable showing
among the schools of the State.
The students who have entered the
preliminary contest are: Nevada
Fine. Ethel Clark, Berenyce Moore,
Winifred Smith. Addie Merialdo,
Fanny Gibson. Florence Morrison,
Velma Reynolds. Tony Depaoli. Peter
Merialdo. Melvin Clark, Robert Laird
Peter Breen and Ted Johnson.
To assist in defraying the expenses,
an admission will be charged, and
the students hope for the same lib
eral support of the people of the
county that has been given to the
former activities of the school.
We acknowledge the receipt of the
Blue and White. the school paper of
the Carson City High School. The
paper is in charge of the Commercial
and English departments and is we'll
and attractively gotten up in both
content and form.
Rosie George who has been out of
school for several weeks with a
broken arm has returned and, re-
sumed her work.

FLOOD WATERS UNDERMINE
RAILWAY BRIDGES
Local Train Service Temporarily Sus-
pended. But Resumption Now Expect
ed by Next Monday

ed by Next Monday
While our local railway has not
been washed out again. the food
waters of last Sunday and Monday
put il out of commission in Pine VAL
ley by undermining a couple of
bridges near Raine Station, about
eight miles this eide of Palisade.
The train that left Eureka Tuesday
morning. according to reports re-
ceived here. was unable to pass be-
yond the above mentioned point and
is still stalled there. A train was
sent out from Palisade and the pas
sengers and train crew were trans
ferred lei oss the bridges and taken
into Palisade with only a few hours
delay.
AS the flood waters through Pine
Valley were still running high fol
several days. the work of putting
the bridges back into place was not
commenced until Thursday afternoon
and it is now expected to have them
in order to resume train service by
next Monday.
AS soon as it was learned that the
road was out of commission the To-
cal railway officials at Palisade mott
fed both the Southern Pacific and
Western Pacific railways of the STU
alton and requested that all passen-
gers bound for Eureka be notified
of the situation and that train SER
vice over the road would be suspend
ed until the bridges and roadbed
could be put in order. But this no.
LITIGATION seems to have had little eff
feet. for i. is now reported that an
unusually large number of passen-
gers bound for Eureka are. in Pail

waiting for the next train out.

Gently been confined to his home by

as his health and the weather per-
mits and start active development
work on the property. The Lucid
tufa group of claims is located in
California Gulch adjoining the Cali
fornia and Connolly mines on the
west. and is generally considered a
most promising property. A force
of four men has been engaged for
the past two months in doing devel-
opment work on these claims, and
