ATHLETIC CLUB Is
IN CONSIDERATION

special meeting of the Winnie
mucca Rifle Club and the Home
Guards was held in the high school
auditorium last night, fair number
of members being present
1t was decided to disband the Home
Guards organization and turn the
funds into the treasury of the Rife
Club. This probably also means that
nothing further will be done with
what was known as the Draft Bat
talion," which was organized at the
behest of the war department and was
under the supervision of the local
draft board
In connection with the Rifle Club
it was stated that the bond required
by the government had been for
warded to Washington and it was un-
derstood the paraphernalia necessary
for rifle practice would be shipped i'm
mediately upon receipt of the bond.
1t is believed active practice may be
commenced, that being the case, not
later than the first of next month. The
officers of the Rifle Club are ]. d.
Scott, president; A. Livingstone, vice.
president; James Ritchie, secretary;
Oscar Reinhart, treasurer; Frank
Krenkel, executive officer.
The formation of an athletic asso-
citation was discussed, permission hav-
ing been granted by the school board
for such an association to have the
usage of the athletic equipment con-
tanned in the high school auditorium.
Messrs. E. A. Smith, S. M. Erskine and
Gerhardt Tholen were appointed a
committee to inquire further into the
matter and formulate plans for the
organization and activities of the pro-
posed organization.

The suit, though not called an apex

Company has taken out ore valued at
$1,216.000 from a vein that apexed in
the Elda Fina ground.
Moore & Mcintosh of Reno and the

TEACHERS SALARY
STANDS APPROVED

All teachers in Nevada are entitled
to their full salaries for periods when
schools were closed because of sick
ness, according to an opinion yester-
day handed to w. J. Hunting, superin-
tendent Of public instruction, by Dep
uty Attorney-General Robert Rich
ards. The proviso is made that the
several periods of closing shall not
have exceeded thirty days each.
The deputy attorney-general holds
that teachers are entitled to their pay
under the statutes, and significantly
adds: "If case should arise where
a board of school trustees resorted to
subterfuge to evade the statute, the
judicial power of the State is ample
to protect the interests of the people.
The attorney-general's Office issued
the opinion at the request of Superin-
tendent Hunting, who asked:
IF school has been convened at the
end of thirty-day intermission periods
for any length Of time, and subse-
quently has been closed by proper
authority. would salaries have to be
paid in full for the thirty-day period
following such reopening and clos
ing?"
To this the answer was: I'VE are of
opinion that when, on account of sick
ness or epidemic, several periods of
school closing, not exceeding thirty
days (each?) are ordered, and schools
are r-convened for any time between
each period, there should be no deduc-
tion or discontinuance of the salaries
of teachers"
Deputy Attorney General Richards
also informed Superintendent Hunt
ing. in response to another query, that
in any case where a member OF a
board of school trustees was appoint
ed to fill an unexpired term. or where
the member was elected for a term
of four years, no vacncy exists and
the incumbent in either case is enti-
tied to hold Office until his successor
is elected and qualified. II Journal.
