apples to make a thin apple sauce
and this is allowed to cook very slow
ly; or simmer. over a slow fire for
three or four hours Brown, rather

Louis A. Spellier. who furnishes IN
dope for the Reno Gazett,
was given bum steer on matter
pertaining to the State Industria
School. In Saturdays issue OF III
Gazette he has the following para
graph. which is far removed from
facts in the case:
II has developed that the re-
signation OF Matthew J. Kyle as
superintendent of the state in
dustrial school at Elko has never
been presented TO the governing
board OF the institution. The
governor stated just before leay-
ing for Washington that he un-
derstood ii was not 10 be pre-
sented. Kyle and the board had
trouble when the board appointed
G.. b. Hoag as boys manager"
OF the institution, the superin-
tendent objecting TO the author.
ity conferred in Hoag. At that
time il was given out that Kyle
was TO be granted a leave OF alb.
sence. in lieu OF statutory vaca.
tions which he had failed to take,
till December !, the understand.
ing being that his resignation was
to take effect at that time. Now
rumoT has II that the superin.
tendent is TO test the legality OF
Hoag's employment. The attor-
ney general has given an opinion
that the appointment OF Hoag Is
not in conflict with the statute and
that his employment is legal The
board OF control of the institution
consists of Gov. Boyle, George
Russell, Sr., Frank Fernald. Sr..

w. Humphrey.
Superintendent Kyle is in Elko nov
and is winding up the affairs of his at
and his resignation vii
be placed in the hands of the boar
at the next meeting which will b
held soon.
There seems 10 be 70mi5 misundel
standing as to the position Mr.. XVI
held with the board. also as TO tn
OF q. y. Hoag as boy
manager" II seems that the loca
who constitute the execu
tive committee. were not consulte,
about this appointment nor was Sur
Kyle consulted, As re
suit the members of the board hav
not been in harmony, and the thre
local members, who constitute a mt
jority. have stood steadfastly by Nj
Kyle. The statutes provide that a
shall be made by th
superintendent, and interference b
members of the board with appoin
mcnts was resented by Mr.. Kyle, an
this led TO his proposal to tender hi
at the December meeting
The statement that the attorney ger
rral has given an opinion that tn
the appointment OF Mr.. Hoag is not II
conflict with the statute and that |
Is legal. Is an error, according to lo
cal members OF the board, unless tw'
opinions have been given, one conflict
ing with the other. II is said that
local member has an opinion from tn
attorney generals ofncc which Is Il
the effect that Mr.. Hoag's appoint
ment was not legal.
There Is no doubt at all that Super
intcndent Kyle will tender his resir
nation at the next meeting OF tn
board. but what else may happen r.
mains TO be seen. There is rumor tha
all the local members will resign frou
the board unless the way can be pave
for harmonious action.
