STAGE LINE PERMITS ARE
GRANTED BY COMMISSION

J. A. Armstrong has applied to
the Public Service Commission of
Nevada for permission to discon-
tinue his stage line between Fallon
and Hazen and from Fallon via
Northam and Hazen. He states as
a reason that a railroad motor car
recently installed by the Southern
Pacific Company by an order of this
Commission is taking all of the bus
mess and that there is nothing left
for the auto carriers. This is the
second application of this sort that
has been filed within short time
both based on the lack of business
resulting from the increased train
service.
The Commission has issued GER
tifcates of public convenience and
necessity to Fallon-Broken Hills
Stage Company (Grindling and Nal
loy) and to Emma M. Ross, permit
ting them to carry freight and pass
engers between Broken Hills and
Fallon. The applications were
heard on the same day. such trans
portation was shown to be public
necessity, and the Commission was
unable to find any reason for pre-
fering one operator over the other
so both certificates were issued.
An order has been issued grant.
ing w. p. Ross permission TO dis.
continue his stage between Reno
and Fallon. No protests were filed
and the public seems to be satisfied
with the present train service be
tween those cities. which was es
tablished by order of the Commits
sion, some time since.

The fourth roll call of the Red

There is a disposition on the part

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER IA

A clean and wholesome story by
Ellis Parker Butler and produced by
King Vidor.
''The Jack-knife Man" in its own
simple way is one of the finest pic
lures which the silver sheet has ever
reflected. A story that will un-
doubtedly please children and
grown-ups alike. In it King Vidor
gives broad promise of the things
which may be expected of him. He
has made the two old men who whit
tied toys from drift wood and sings
jingles for the amusement of little
lad who comes into their lives, real
folks. Taking the human story OF
1.-The Jack-knife" he has turned II
into a picture which has throughout
poetic beauty. 1t is close to the
soul, drama ringing vibrantly true

DISCOVER CRYSTAL
CAVE AT DIVIDE

At all times and in all lands,
caves have been the theme of ro-
nance and poetry. While their orr
gin is easily traceable to natural
causes, they are regarded as inter-
esting and unusual phenomena.
Divide City is now able to boast
of possession of a real. romantic,
poetical cavern. 1t assuredly is one
of rare beauty and is unusual in
that it does not occur in lime, which
is favorable to cave formation, but
in breccia.
The discovery was made several
days ago in the Divide Extension on
the 40 level, 400 feet northeast of
the shaft. 1t is so feet long, six or
seven feet wide and 80 feet high.
What is most attractive about the
opening in the bowels of the earth
is that the walls are lined with a
material resembling powdered snow.
1t is gypsum and other substances
deposited there by gas precipitation.
Beautiful samples of the wallis of
the cavern are on exhibition at the
office of the company.-Tonopah

MAY HAVE CAUGHT
LOCAL RANCHERS

Quotations on wheat in the Chi
cago market today is the lowest in
four years, according to telegraphic
advice. Wheat dropped 39 cents
per bushel over night and -four has
declined $40 a barrel, the first time
in four years. December quotations
for wheat was $175 a bushol, which
is practically back to pre-war time
prices. Corn ives quoted ct rs
cents a bushel and oats 40 cents.
Most of the farmers in this sec
tion contracted their wheat around
$50 a ton, but a few have held on
waiting for a higher market
Just what effect this dror
in the eastern cereal market
will have ON the local farmers is a
question. II is believed that some
who have held for a higher price
will be caught in the slump, which
will effect coast prices, so it was
stated today by those discussing the
situation.

Livestock Assn.
to Meet in
Fallon
Subjects of Interest to All Ranchers
and Stockraisers VIII BE Dis
cussed by Experts

Fallon has been selected as the
meeting place of the Nevada Live
stock Association for its next sec
tional winter meeting. and the date
set for November goth
These sectional meetings have
been held for two years, but this is
the first time that Fallon has been
honored and its behooves our Com
mercial Club as well as the citizenry
generally to get busy preparatory to
receiving and entertaining the yisi-
tors.
With the recent organization of
the Land Tax division, the associa-
ton Is now In effect both land and
livestock association, and rs such its
scope of activities in the advance
ment of the kindred industries has
been greatly augmented.
The idea behind the sectional
meetings is to give the smaller
ranchers and stockmen an opportun-
ity to share in the shaping of the
policies that shall govern, some
thing that would not be possible
were the meetings confined to Reno
at an annual convention.
IL is recognized that many prob
lens confront the rancher in the
successful conduct of his business,
most of which are of a nature that
demands group, rather than indi-
yidual effort, in working out their
solution.
AT the Fallon meeting there will
be present representatives of the
various federal and state agencies
whose duties lie in connection with
both ranehing and stockraising
Particularly timely will be a discus
sion OF the situation with regard to
taxes and the expenditure of public
funds by w. C. Noteware, managing
director of the land tax division.
There will be speakers to discuss
the subjects of dairying. animal dis
eases, losses of livestock from theft.

AreOpposed to
Opening More
Lands
Objection Based on Lack of an As
sured Water Supply for Lands
Already TILED

Our neighbors over Fernley way
are considerably exercised over the
alleged intention of the Reclama-
tion Service to open additional lands
for settlement in that part of the
project. Ordinarily this would be
considered a cause for general re-
joicing. as the greatest pride of any
community should be community
growth. as indicating the desirabili-
ty of residence in a section that is
advancing instead of retrograding.
However, the opposition Of Fern
ley to a further expansion of its ir-
rigable lands can be understood In
the light of the experiences OF the
past season, when a scarcity Of wa
ter at critical period in pant life
threatened to ruin the entire crop
Of this fertile and productive section
of the Newlands project.
Dependent entirely upon the out
flow of the stored waters In Lake
Tahoe. which last year reached the
lowest point in the history of the
project, Fernley settlers are natural
ly averse to any increase in the use
of water which is not accompanied
by a guarantee of an increase In the
supply. and beyond a hopeful out
look for a larger deposit of snow In
the Sierras, there is nothing to war
rant the belief that there will be an
appreciable increase in the season
of 1921.
Self preservation is the first law
of nature, and while it is regrettable
that the growth of our neighbor is
so restricted. it cannot but be ad-
mitted that it would be unfair both
to the new settler and to the old to
increase the acreage beyond that
which can be certainly served.
That the fears of the Fernley resi-
dents was based largely on rumor
is apparent from the answer to a
telegram of protest sent to the Sec
retary of the Interior. in which IL
was stated that no such proposition
was pending by the department.

After the ceremonies the hall was
cleared for dancing and the balance
of the evening was spent in dancing

which were prepared and served by
the ladies of Fernley. Those pres
ent from Fallon are loud in their
praises of the hospitality extended
them and report most enjoyable
evening.

in
Mid-Tern a
Problem
1bachers and Classrooms
VIII BE Required To Handle
Pupils at High School

The Board of Education who have
the High School in charge, are con-
fronting a situation brought about
by the recent change in policy in the
grammar grades of graduating
classes in mid-term from the eighth
grade to the High School. The re-
suit will be that a certain number
of pupils must be provided for and
for which no provision either as to
funds available, class rooms or
teachers has been made.
There is a serious question in
volved in whether the move is a
wise one from any view point. Ger
tain 1t is that the new graduates
from the grammar grades cannot at
once make the freshman classes,
since they are six months behind.
This will necessitate A and B classes
in each study at the High School,
to say nothing of new class rooms.
The facilities in regard to the latter
are already limited and there seems
no way out of the dilemma.
Ostensibly the new policy was in
augurated at the grammar school to
encourage education. The ques-
tion arises whether it will not have
exactly the opposite effect. Unless
these additions can be provided for
at the High School by the present
faculty, it is obvious that they must
either pass the examinations at
once for TIN freshman classes or
await the time next year when they
can enroll in the regular class, in
which event it is probable many
would prefer to quit school entirely
In view of the limited accommo-
dations at the High School, the de-
pleted condition of the school fund
and the altogether questionable
benefits to be deprived by the inno-
vation, the general opinion will be
that somebody has blundered, and a
joint meeting of the Board of Edu
cation and the trustees of the gram.
mar school should be held in the
very near future to devise ways and
means to meet the situation that
has arisen, as suggested by a CORE
spondent below.

Editors Standard:
A class of some twenty-eight
pupils will be graduated from the
grammar schools of Consolidated
"B" district in the middle of the
present school year. So far as
can learn, no arrangements have
been made or are under contempla-
tion by the board of education to
receive these graduates into the
high school before September next
1t would seem to me that some def
mite policy should be established al
once by the district board and the
county board jointly. either abolish
ing the twice-a-year graduations
from the grammar schools or pro.
viding facilities for the reception oi
the graduates into the high school
in the middle of the term.
As additional teachers and class
rooms would probably be required
at the high school if the latter
course were permanently pursued, il
would seem that the former plan
would be the more economical, and
personally l feel that it is perfer
able But in any event something
should be done to anticipate the sit
uation which will be created by thu
mid-term graduations from thu
grammar schools this year and to 81
coordinate the policies of the re
spective boards that the maximum
benefits will be derived by both th
pupils and the public from th
money expended for educationa
purposes in this county.
