HIGH SCHOOL GETS
WIDE PUBLICITY

The following article is taken from
the Journal of Education, published
at Boston, Mass:
Douglas county, Nevada, has popu-
lation of only 1900, no more than a de-
cent sized village in the East; and yet
it has one of the best high schools in
the country. The Record-Courier of
Gardneryille, publishes a two-page il
lustrated article on this high school.
There are 250 square inches of high
class illustrations. There have been
few city high schools that have had
as elaborate an illustrated article as
has the Douglas county high school,
B. M. Aldrich, the principal, has the
record so far as we know. There were
100 per cent of eighth grade graduates
of June / in the high school in Sep
tember, and 100 per cent of the un-
dergraduates of the of the school in
1919, were back in 1920 Where has
that been equalled? That county high
school has a gymnasium; auditorium
with a complete stage equipment in
cluding three complete sets; Stein
way piano; two rooms for domestic
science laboratories, equipped with
both electric and gas stoves. electric
sewing machine, electric flatirons, ETC.,
two rooms equipped as agricultural
laboratories in addition to the farm
mechanics workshop, forty by sixty
feet; fully equipped physics and chem
istry laboratories; transit for use of
the mathematics and farm engineer
ing classes, commercial laboratory
equipment valued at $500, in fact
everything that even large city high
school offers in the way of practical
equipment.

DUCK SEASON
OPENS SEPT. IS

Although it was stated in this paper
last week that Attorney-Gen Fow-
Ter had given a verbal opinion that the
duck season would open October l in
conformity with the state law, he has
admitted that when questioned rela-
tive to the game law, he was exceed
ingly busy attending to other legal
matters and did not give the question
the study he should have, and has
since found that the federal law gov
erns in this particular instance, which
opens the season September Is.
This matter had also been called to
to the attention of the United States
Marshal who states that in the opinion
of the Bureau of Biological Survey,
Washington, DC, the season for wild
fowl in the state of Nevada opens on
September 16, and quotes the follow
ing state law that also upholds the
opinion:
Section 81, Chapter 234, OF the
statutes of Nevada, approved
March %, 1921. provides that 1t
shall be unlawful to kill ducks,
geese, cranes, and other birds
from January 16 to October /;
provided, however, that the open
season and the bag Emit on the
migratory game birds named IN
this section shall always auto
matically change so as to con-
form to the regulations for the
protection of migratory birds as
ehty shall hereafter be prescribed
by the United States Department
of Agriculture, Bureau of Biolo-
gical Survey. The open season
prescribed under these regula-
tions is September 16 to Decem-
Der 81, both dates included in the
open season.

PEOPLES Me. CHURCH

Next Sunday will mark the close of
the present conference year and also
the third year of the present pasto-
rate. We leave the latter part of
next week for San Jose, Calf, to at
tend the annual conference, and, OF
course, do not know what orders we
may receive from the Bishop.
Our work has grown slowly but
constantly during these three years,
and an increasing number of friends
has made the burden lighter with
each succeeding year. To these
friends, whether members of our
church or not, we acknowledge our
sincere gratitude. We have endea-
vored to render sympathetic service
to all, without respect to high or low
estate. We trust we have not wholly
failed. Should the bishop return us
here for another year We would hope
to be of greater service to this valley,
because of better acquaintance with
the people; for only as one serves, is
a life worth while.
Rev. John F. Wilson, superintend-
ent OF the Nevada Mission District of
the California Conference of the ME-.
Church, will hold the Fourth Quarter
ly Conference of the Carson Valley
Charge, at the local Me- Church on

STRIKE AT
ORC GRANDE
OLD RODENBAUGH TUNNEL TO BE
REOPENED IN EFFORT TO
FIND RICH ORE VEIN

Orc Grande Consolidated Mines
Company steps to the front this week
to claim credit for the first strike of
high grade at Carter Station.
The ore chute outcrops along the
south mammoth ledge more than 100
feet, crossing the old Peck tunnel
within the area in which Jacob Roden-
bah tunneled through thirty five feet
of thirty-fve dollar ore, according to
creditable traditions.
e. Chaplin Gard of the Orc Grande
company brought down chunks of rich
antimonial silver ore, weighing sew
eral pounds each, and practically
solid metal. He is clearing the decks
to sink shaft in this rich deposit to
determine its magnitude and value
Not far from this find, Jacob Roden-
bah took samples years ago that as
sayed as high as $1,000, silver, per ton,
Here it was that he encountered
terrific rush of water at the breast of
the 1600-foot tunnel which flowed full
tunnel capacity and emptied into the
Carson river, three mites away. for
month. This flood finally subsided,
but water still flows from the tunnel
now caved $50 feet at its mouth, and
has always been strongly charged
with iron, and probably other min
erals.
Near the outcropping ore chute are
many evidences of sirsmic or volcanic
disturbances. One of them Is repre-
sented by a huge mass Of broken
quartz, or "blow out" all mineralized
and possibly a rich deposit already
mined
The find places the stamp OF DEM
onstrated merit on the Mammoth
ledge at Carter Station, the one thing
Mr.. Gard has been waiting patiently
many months to determine, and he
will now go to the bat to materialize
the great mine he conscientiously be-
lieves is there, and which Jacob
Rodenbaugh was certain he had
proved was there a generation ago.
The Veta Grande continues to dis
close good grade ore. Sinking in the
winze will continue 200 feet. Fine
specimens of argentite feature recent
finds.
| Walker and Frasier report finding
rich ore in the south extension of the
Fremont mine on Pine Nut Creek.
This is one of the most promising
free gold properties in Douglas
county.
d. B. Eastman and associates are
busy completing location work on a
group of very promising claims north
east of the veta Grande.
Temple and Maltry completed To-
cation work on the American Eagle

to the effect that the Alpine-Fairview
is to resume operations in the near
future.

good grade complex ores.

UNIVERSITY OPENS

The state university at Reno has
opened with an attendance of approx
mately 500 students. II is predicted
that this year will see the heaviest at
tendance In the history of the Nevada
college, The enrolment from Cali
fornia is heavier this year than here
tofore, as this comparatively small
university is offering advantages to
students that cannot be found at the
larger colleges in California.

FREIGHT RATES FIVE
TIMES AS GREAT
AS PRODUCE

The attitude of some of the western
railroads on the matter of rates, is
well illustrated by recent correspon-
dence between the public service COM
mission and the Southern Pacific
company.
The commission wrote regarding an
informal complaint it had received,
based on the rate on shipment of
onions from Davis, Calf, to Humboldt
county. Nevada, which cost twenty
cents a sack while the freight
amounted to s11O sack, or more than
five times the value of the merchan-
disc.
The freight traffic manager of the
railroad company replied that the
price paid for the onions was very
low, and suggested that If the price
had been five dollars per sack instead
of twenty cents, complaint might not
have been made, adding that this
would indicate that the freight rate
cannot be reasonably gagged by the
price of commodities which fluctuate
as in this case"
The company's letter entirely over
looked the fact that all supplies used
by 1t are decreasing in price, and, even
now, are much lower than during the
war. The fact is that not only onions,
but practically everything except
transportation, has been rapidly seek
ing its prewar level.
The control of this rate is initially
In the control of the railroad and
finally its regulation is under the
jurisdiction of the interstate COM
merce commission at Washington.

SECRETARY FALL EXPECTED
TO APPROVE RESERVOIR PLAN

Belief that the fight to prevent the
destruction of Lake Tahoe's beauty
by cutting the rim of the lake to OBJ
tain water for irrigation purposes is
virtually won. was expressed by Ste
phen T.. Mather. director of national
parks, says a Santa Barbara dispatch.
Mather is on his way to Los Angeles
after a tour of the national parks in
the North and West with A. B. FALL
secretary of the interior. He will re-
join Fall for a camping trip in the
Yellowstone about September 8.
The plan presented to Secretary
Fall, and which is being favorably
considered, suggests the diversion of
the water of the Truckee river. which
flows into Pyramid Lake. an alkali
basin. The Truckee would be directed
into a reservoir, from which the water
could be drawn for the Newlands ir-
rigation project and for the develop
ment of lands in the vicinity of Fallon

Suicide Ship of The
CiUit War ReUeuled

10y tHNti lffr-fl
Kingston, n. G.. Dec. 1.-THE
barred grave" of the Neuse, suicide
man-of.war, has been visited by
thousands here. II has been given
to this generation to see what an
other may not, for only when the
Neuse river reached the lowest
level in its history as result of
this years protracted drought was
the long hulk of the old Civil War
ship revealed in its ned of sand and
mud.
The Neuse was built as a unit of
the Confederacy's iron-clad armada.
1t was similar in size. shape and
gun-power to the famous Merrimac
and the Albemarle.
Construction was started at White
hall, up the river from here, and
the vessel was brought here for
completion Low water according
to local historians, detained the ship
at this point when she was needed
in the sounds of Eastern Carolina,
infested with Federal fleets.
In land battle around Kingston
the Neuse served as a floating for
tress, hemmed in by the shadows
below her. The man-of-war was
threatened with capture. Her crew
fired her and then left the ship. One
of the Neuse's shotted guns sup
posedly Intentionally depressed, ex-
ploded and blew hole in her bot
tom, and the suicide ram sank by
the eastern bank of the Neuse.
When the water receded recently
the big wreck was found to be GOV.

road irons and links of chains show
