Leans Toward Churchill Prom.
Inent Citizens interviewed.

Assemblyman Thomas Dolph, Audi
tor and Recorder G. w. Likes and /.
II. Kent. all of Churchill county, are
visitors in Reno says the Journal.
All the gentlemen are enthusiastic
over the bright future in store for
Churchill county brought about by the
determination Of the government to
reclaim a vast area Of land there by
the great irrigation work now in proc
ass Of construction.
As a result Of this work, Fallon, the
county seat, is experiencing a genuine
boom. All available carpenters and
builders are employed in the erection
Of new buildings which are going up on
every hand.
For many years Churchill has en-
joyed the distinction Of being the only
county in the state. which received
taxes from the S. P. without railroad
station within its borders. The outlet
for the product Of her ranches was, and
still is, via Wadsworth. 1t is not prob
able that a change will be made in the
near future.
Fallon will shortly have a weekly
newspaper, which rumor says, will be
called the Churchill Standard. Fred
Fairbanks Of the Yerington Times has
already placed his plant on the ground
and the first issue will appear shortly.
The new courthouse is now ready
for occupancy and the county officials
will take up their quarters therein on
January first.
The |. H. Kent Co., recently incor-
porated, is building a modern store,
the structure to be Of stone, and will
stock ii with a complete line of mer-
chandise, hardware and agricultural
implements
Government experts are now en-
gagged in the work Of drilling and test
ing the soil at the site of the proposed
reservoir at the point where the waters
from the great canal and those of the
Carson river will be brought together.
No excavation work can be begun until
1t is determined whether the dam can
be made water tight.
One Of the problems which must be
worked out is the disposition OF the
drainage from the irrigated lands.
The work on the Churchill end Of
the canal is going forward rapidly. The
upper end presents more natural diff
culties and will be much slower.
Messrs. Dolph and Kent returned
last evening to Fallon. Mr.. Likes
departed for a few rdays visit to Saf
Francisco.

Maner ot Montgomery Continued His
 Argument.

The House reconvened at 3:30 o'clock without a roll call. roll callS at the after noon session having been dispensed with by a resolution adopted Wednesday.
 The House resumed It's consideration of the mortgage tax bill. Mir. Maner con- tinued his argument for the committed s substitute for the Goldsmith bill,
 He reaffirmed his belief in the efficiency of the mortgage tax. He quoted figuree to show that if the mortgage tax had become operative immediately after the passage of the bill, Montgomery county would have paid in one year more money than the State would have received from all the other counties from the old sys tenn of taxing solvent credits
 Mir. Killen of Lauderdale. stood for tho bill. The committee had worked hard he said, and had brought the combined wisdom of some of the best men in the House on this knotty problem. He thought the problem had been solved and he favored the bill.
 Mir. Werner of Tuscaloosa deprecated any appeals to prejudice. He said it was time for the House to stop doing one thing and undoing the thing the next day. The Legislature had put the law on the statute books. he said. and he was opposed to taking 1t off before the law had a trial.
 MT. Kelly of Choctaw moved to indefi- nitely postpone the bill and all pending amendments
 Mir. Hammer of Etowah opposed the substitute. He discussed the place of mortgages in business life and pointed out instances in which. he said, the tax would work a hardship and an injus- tice.
 Goldsmith Closed Debate.
 Mir. Goldsmith concluded the debate on the bill and substitute. He felt sorry he said, for the political future of any man from the rural districts who went home with the record of having voted for the mortgage tax.
 Before the vote was taken Mir. Simpson voiced his disapproval of the talk of poor men, rich men and political futures that had been indulged in, declaring that the man who was afraid to do right in fear of political results was not fit to repre- sent any county.

of Fame. The House met for the night session at 8 o'clock with fifty-five members present. The work of passing local bills was i'm | mediately taken up This was suspended l to allow a report from the Committee on Rules which was submitted by MT. Rich l of Mobile.
 The Committee reported favorably the joint resolution from the Senate desig- hating Hon. J. L. M. Curry as the ctt- izen of Alabama to be honored with statue in one of the two inches set apart for citizens of Alabama in the Hall of Statuary at the National Capitol.
 MT. Arnold of Calhoun, explained that the Thirty-eighth Congress had provided for a Hall of Statuary in the Capitol. In this Hall each State was authorized to have erected the statues of two of its most distinguished citizens The joint resolution, he said, designated pr. Curry as one of the citizens from Alabama to be honored.
 The widow of pr. Curry. MT. Arnold said, had left in her will provisions for the erection of a statue in bronze or mar bic to the memory of her distinguished husband The resolution, he said, car ried no appropriation.
 Mir. Arnold recounted the distinguished services of Dr. Curry, first as a Repre- sentative from Alabama in Congress, again as a Representative in the Confed- crate Congress and as a Confederate sol dier. He paid tribute to the literary work of Dr. Curry and his great labor in the cause of education for the common peo- pie.
 MT. DuBose of Jefferson said that he regretted that the resolution did not come up during a day session. when there would be a larg attendance of Represent atives He heartily endorsed the resolu- tion. The amount to be expended for the
