MAY NOW
GO To- SCHOOL

Since war activities are no longer
demanding our time and energies
every progressive teacher is planning
to better prepare herself for the task
of training the young citizens Of our
democracy.
This summer the University Of Ne
vada proposes to do all in its power
to make the Summer Session one of
inspiration and recreation for all the
teachers of this great state who are
seeking a vacation which is both prof
table and pleasureable.
The sessions open June p and
closes July 30. The dormitories will
be open on June lo
In this short session it is difficult
to make up the loss Of three or four
days and at the same time try to carry
on the regular advance work. So stu
dents should plan to come early in or
der to register and begin promptly.
The enrolment fee will be 5000 per
student Table board at the Univer-
sity Dining Hall is $7.C0 per week,
and rooms at the dormitories are SO
for the six weeks. Text books will
cost about $500.
The faculty considers the recrea-
tional activities Of as much import
ance as the coures taken, So each
studet is advised to set aside from
$500 to $1,000 to cover the cost Of
Saturday excursions to Lake Tahoe,
Pyramid Lake, Bowers Mansion,
Steamboat and other points Of in
terest. These trips will be definite
ly planned and carefully organized for
each Saturday. In addition informal
frolics will be held each Friday eve
ming and community singing on the
lawn one evening of the week will be
be made special feature.
The center of interest for this sum
mer's work will be in the demons stra
ton schools, Miss Louise kidder, OF
the Berkeley public shoots, will
teach goups Of children from the
four upper grades, and will demon
strate how to teach history, geogra
phv and literature of constructed pro
jects. She will devote one hour III
the afternoon to upper grade work.
Miss Anna Raymond. teacher III
the Berkeley primary grades will like
wise demonstrate teaching beginners
to read and continuing work with
second grade children. She will also
hold class in primary methods. Stu
dents will receive credit for observing
the demonstration work and attend
ing the methods classes.
Within two weeks arrangements tor
the Summer Session will be completed
so that bulletins will be sent out Civ
ing exact announcements OF courses
and faculty.-U. \. Sagebrush.

TIoGA ROAD TO OPEN EARLY

VIM. Cunningham, who purchased
the Hammond property at Mono Lake
last summer, writes E. J. Phillips
that the .Tioga road to Yosemite Val
ley will be opened much earlier than
usual this season. This is due partial
ly to the fact that the snowfall in
that locality has been very light this
winter, and also to work OF the Ne
vada- California Power company, who
recently put force of men to work
sanding the suow on the Tioga road
i'll order to open the road as soon
as possible to enable them to start
work on a power plant which is to
be erected at Leevining Creek at a
cost of $80OO0.-Record Courier.

OIL EXPERT IS
IN YER|NGTON

Mr. S. A. Sloan, Field manager of
the Texavada Oil Company, is in
Yerington, combining business with
the pleasure of seeing Nevada"
Mr.. Sloan is native of Fort
Worth, Texas and has spent most of
his lie in the oil fields of Oklahoma
and Texas. He is the man who To-
Gated the Travellers Oil & Develop
ment Company, of Reno, on the lands
they hold in Mitchell County, Texas.
Later, with Ed Malley, State Treas
urer, P. J. Conway, formerly a Yer
ington rancler, Augustus Tilden, at
torney of Reno and Ray Knight, an
old associate, he organized the Texa-
vada Oil company, of Reno. This
company has valuable oil lands i'll
both Mitchell and Stephens counties
in Texas.
In speaking of the Texayada Oil
Company and its properties, Mr..
Sloan has this to say:
'Therd is no reason for taking any
more chance in the oil business than
your most conservative banker would
take in any line. There is a safe
way to get into the oil business, snd
that is to operate on proven land.
II is true that millions of dollars and
hundreds OF millionaires, have been
made almost over night in the oil
game, and many Of them in the so
called wild cat" territory They had
the nerve to take a chance, that's all
But in the proven territory, an ord
mary five years lease has a cash val
tie and loan value just the same as
farm lands or city property. The
The banker knows what the lease is
worth and will lend money on it. In
Stephens County, Texas, there are To-
cations that are not only proven as
to production. but even the value OF
production is proven. Take the
Breckenridge pool for instance
which means the lands i'll and around
the City OF Breckenridge, County
seat of Stephens County; they not
only know that it is absolutely proven
oil land but they also know that when
well is drilled it is going to pro
duce at least 900 barrels of oil per
day.
The Texavada Oil Company has a
lease on two, city blocks in Breckcn-
ridge. The property belongs to my
uncle The company also holds a
lease on S4 acres i'll the northeast
ern part of the county, all proven ter
ritory. They also have 12,450 acres
in Mitchell county The element of
risk has been eliminated as far as pos
siblc from the Texavada. Their Ste
phens county holdings are safe
guard. | don't know of better lands
| in all Texas than their holdings"
Mr.. Sloan is in Yerington with MIR.
| Knight, manager OF the Texavada Oil
| Company He has just retuned from
| the oil fields and is taking trip over
Nevada before returning to his native
state next month where he will sup
erintend the drilling of his COM
pany's first well on the Brecken-
ridge property. Mr.. Sloan is most en-
| thusiastc over all he has seen i'll

BIG EXPENDITURE
BY STATE BOARDS

If the citizens Of the state have
the idea that the state boards Of
finance and examiners and heads OF
the various departments have but lit
tie to trouble them in making proyi-
sons to handle building projects
that have been authorized by the
legislature they have only to con-
slider the figures submitted below to
arrive at a different understanding Of
tn situation.
One of the appropriations author
lied was 100000 for the building Of
a teachers training building at the
state university. This has been
done.
Authorized reconstruction of the
asylum building carries all appro-
priation of $lo0,000 Plans have been
prepared and submitted but SO far no
call for bids has been issued.
April 10Th the bids for the con-
struction of Heroes Memorial"
building in this city will be opened.
The sum of $4,000 was appropriated
by the act.
The construction Of the first unit
of a new state prison building at a
cost OF 100000 was authorized by
the legislature A great deal Of
work has been done in the way OF
investigation OF the points i'll favor of
at least two suggested sites. Plans
have been prepared for the purpose
of giving the board all opportunity to
figure out what may be done by
the utilization OF the present site and
remodelling of the buildings thereon.
1t is expected that the board will an
nounce its decision i'll the near fu-
ture.
The legislature provided for the
expenditure OF $5,C00 for manual
training shop at the Nevada school
of industry. The shop has been
built,
Cons truction of an addition to the
Orphans Home building at a cost OF
S5O0O0 is we'll under way.
An appropriation OF $65,OCO for an
experiment station to be maintained
under the direction of the United
States bureau of mines was made by
the last legislature, contingent upon
the appropriation OF like or larger
amount by the federal government III
the event that Nevada is designated
as one OF the states to be given
station. SO far nothing has been
done to indicate that Nevada will be
one of the favored states.
The 1920 construction program Of
the state highway department con
templates the expenditure OF approx
mately $2.700,000 in the building OF
roads in Nevada. OF this total hall
will be derived from the federal and
road act funds, one-fourth from the
counties and one-fourth from the
state-Carson News.

TO OPERATE MINES At PENI1EN1IARY

A saving of $4,000 year will
be effected at the West Virginia
penitentiary by the operation of a
coal mine on the penitentiary prop
erty, the entire farm of about 60
acres being underlaid with coal,
The State will be able to save the
amount stated. that representing
the average annual expenditure for
heat and power purposes. In or

fuel for the penitentiary, by the be-
ginning of cold weather. Warden
Terrell had the work of sinking Il
shaft 80 feet deep begun. the ncccs-
sary authority having been grant
cd by the State Board of Control.
The seam to be developed is four
and one-half feet in thickness.
Operations at the pcnilcntiary
mine. once ii is in operation, will
never be affected by shortage Of
labor, since there are about 200
prisoners in the penitentiary whose
regular occupation has been mining.

ONE WAR PREVENTED.

The League of Nations, badly
handicapped as it is by the non
membership in and uncertainty of
sentiment toward it of the nation
which proposed ii and was expect
ed to assume its moral leadership,
is nevertheless functioning and be-
ginning to produce first fruits in the
prevention of war.
Poland and Lithuania have a
boundary disputes, in fact every
country in Eastern Europe has. The
controversary has led to armed
clashes and was on the eve Of cauS-
ing war between the two countries.
Lithuania has not been recognized
as an independent nation, and has
therefore no membership in the
League. Nevertheless, the League
intervened and has hroguht about
an agreement to settle the boundary
question by arbitration.
Thus one almost certain war has
been averted, without a threat or
the, slightest show of force. The
young men of not single member
nation have been dragged into war.

NO PAPTISANSHlP IN CONDUCT OF WAR.

Listening to Mrs. Poifenbargcr at
the Court House, Saturday after
noon one who did not know the
facts would conclude that the adj
ministration had conducted the war
in partisan spirit. The very re-
verse of this is true. Mrs. Potlcn-
barger wholly forgot, or any rate
failed, to tell the women who were
listening TO her of the following,
and many other appointments Of
Republicans amde by the President
and his subOrdinates:
General Pershing, ConMnander-in-
chief in France. was a Republican,
as was General March, Chief of
Staff; General Goethals, assistant
chief, and General Crowder, pro-
vost marshal-general. Other Re-
publicans given high place were
Keppel, Scott and Stettinius, as
Sistant secretaries of war; Admiral
Sims. commander of our overseas
naval forces; Harry Garfield. fuel ad-
ministrator; Herbert Hoover, food
administrator; Charles NJ. Schwab,
Frank Vanderlip, Henry P. David
son, Julius Rosenwald and many
other distinguished Republicans
were placed on war boards.
Justice Hughes, eX-President Taft
and Cornelius Bliss, eX-Republican
national treasurer, were all called
into service. The war was not con-
ducted Oh a partisan basis.

.Ollowing statement:
"We are making reduction in
PRICES because we believe it is time
b make an effort to bring back pre-
var, conditions, regardless of the
act that we have untitled orders on
ur books of 146.065 cars and
