Census Report
Disappointment

The census report of Douglas
county for 1920 has just been made
public by the Bureau of Census at
Washington, d. c., and comes as a
disappointment to those who felt that
the report would show that this
county had a population of at least
2500 or an increase OF coo over the
figures tabulated ten years ago. The
following table shows that instead OF
an increase in population In Douglas
county during the past ten years, we
have in reality been slipping. having
population of 1926 as against 1895
at that time or a loss of 20.

Butter Reaches
Record Price

Butter sold in Gardnerville Monday
for so cents a pound, the highest price
yet attained by that product. During
the past year 1t has been quite COM
mon for butter to sell for go and 20
cents per pounds, but the price reach
ed this week is record breaker, ac-
cording to statements of those who
claim to know.
With butter selling ia 80 cents per
pound the dairymen of Carson Val
ley may expect to receive even high
er price for the butter fat than any
time in the past

When the 1910 census was taken
Minden and Gardnerville was one
precinct with a population of 1146.
Combining the figures of these pre-
cincts given for 1920 We find a total
of 1895 or an increase of 149 during
the past ten years.
Jacks Valley precinct ten years ago
showed population 113 while the
figures of the recent census give that
precinct a population of 3s. or a loss
of so.
Mottsville precinct. ten years ago
had population of 375 as against 275
at this time or clear loss of 100.
According to the census report Of
ten years ago Genoa had population
of 261 and at this time the reports
shows 222.
During the past twenty years the
population of Douglas county has in
creased POI and at this rate 1t will
take exactly one hundred years be-
~ y sh' ppPutatioh vi toukfdS COuDty
reaches $3.50. the number many of the
more enthusiastic boosters believed
was the present population of Doug
las county
The figures of the fourteenth census
shows the shift in population that
has been going on In this county dur
ing. the past twenty years. The
population OF Genoa, Mottsville and
Jacks Valley has slowly dwindled
many OF the families residing In those
localities having removed to the East
Fork and Mnden precincts While the
two latter have shown an increase
OF modest proportions. other localities
have gradually lost.
To obtain an increased population
any locality must offer inducements
to settlers. or through manufacturing
enterprises. Douglas county has been
decidedly unfortunate in this respect.
We possess no possibility as manu-
featuring center. and although the
county is extremely rich In agricul-
tural possibilities. they have been hog
tied and will probably remain so for
the next century. With thousands up
on thousands Of acres of the richest
land that can be found In the United
States awaiting the application of
waer: with natural reservoir sites In
the mountains where at reasonable ex-
penses great impounding reservoirs
could be built for storing the food
waters of the Carson river: with the
agricultural interests anxious to see
such a plan carried out: the reclama-
ton department or congress cannot
approve of the settlement of these
lands
Under the soldier settlement act an
attempt has been made to esablish
returned soldiers on lands In other
western states that were as dry as
the Congressional Record itself with
no possibility of success awaiting the
soldier. And in a locality such as
Carson Valley. where such thing OF
failure is unknown in the history of
farming. is passed up for some reason
or another.
But heave heart, dear people of
Carson Valley. in just one hundred
years from this date, We will have a
population of $3.50, 1855 more that we
have in the Year of Our Lord, Nine
teen Hundred and Twenty.

The above from the Elko Free
Press would indicate that the Dr.
Hickok now under arrest in San
Francisco is not the DR. Hickok that
practiced medicine in Gardnerville
some twelve years ago and probably
in other Nevada towns about that
period However, VIM. Starke. who
was we'll acquainted with DIR. Hickok
while he was in Gardnerville, was a
visitor to San Francisco some time
ago and met the physician on the
street. He was invited to the
doctors offices In Pantage's building
and later was taken to what is now
known as the Mysterious Castle"
where police claim illegal operations
were performed
DR.. Hickok was exceedingly proud
of this possession. and gave Mr..
Starke several photographs of the
castle" and which he still has In his
possession.
The fact is thus established that the
physician arrested in San Francisco
under the name of Hickok is the same
person who practiced medicine in
Gardnerville some twelve years age
under the same name. There is NO
mistake about that.

IRISH EDUCATION BILL
 IS COMMENTED UPON

DUBLIN, Jan S.-Thc governments Irish education bill is criticised on the ground that the Irish education system should be framed by an Irish Parliament.
 The Home Rule Bill was expected 10 grant separate treatment for LII ster. but the education bin is framed on tho assumption thai Ireland is { single unit. The education bill sets up only one central authority in nnb- lin, directly responsible 10 the Imper, lal Parliament.
 It introduces for the first time into the educational system of Ireland a local school tax. Hitherto. all the money has been found by the treas ury, supplemented bg voluntary sub scriptIons. There will be popular representation on the school board. but it's function is to bc advisory only. and the power is all to rest with the now Education Department. This will consist Of the Chief Secrc- tary and the Vice President of the Department of Technical education, both of whom come into and go out of office with the British ministry of the day, and of a permanent member who will be the real administrator of the new system.
 Religious controversy is avoided by the provision in the bill continu- ing the existing plan by which the schools managers. mostly the clergy of the various denominations, appoint the teachers and control tho schools.
