Smith Valley
Will Build a
High School

ley the coming summer is being dis
!. cusscd considerable now days. The
concensus Of opinion is thar it should
be built at some point that viii be
centrally located for the whole val
ley. and, also. where it would be pos
siblc for the building Of a town that
will be on one or more highways,
where there be a possibility of 4 rail-
road building, if one should ever build
into the valley, where good water
supply can be obtained and the ground
situated suitable for successful drainage
and sewerage. The Directors of the
district will probably cali a pubic
meeting i'll the near future to discuss
the subject 2ss f fS
Work was started Tuesday morn
ing on the drainage canal from the
Beaman lakes to the river and it will
be rushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. Three other canals are
contemplated in this work and they
will all be started in very short time.
Nearly one thousand dressed turkeys
have been shipped out of the valley
