PROGRESS OF
THE RAILROAD
Preliminary Survey Is
Completed.

Engineer Howe and his corps
of assistants have finished sur
veving the preliminary line be-
tween Nassie and Fallon for the
proposed new road. The line
fixes the distance between the
two points as fifteen and one
quarter miles. The work will
not be concluded for a few days,
it being now necessary to re-
trace the country to determine
the of grades, cuts and fills, etc. =,
that the yardage may be esti-
mated.
Mr.. Howe states that the
road can be laid without any
difficulty whatever, it only be-
ing necessary to make a few
short cuts. The country is prac-
tically level, he says, and no
engineering difficulties are to be
encountered.
Before the preliminary work
is finally finished a depot site
will be chosen and surveyed
after which it is up to the citi-
zens to say whether or not
Fallon will be connected with
the main line.

TEN CENTS
o4 BETTER
MAIL SERVICE

The following letter is from
Congressman Van Duzer and is
addressed to Henry {. Law
renee, Hazen, Nevada:
Il beg to inform you that you
have been appointed postmaster
at Hazen, and that the Office
will be established at once. The
Postoffice Department will give
you due notificat ton of the es-
tablishment and appointment,
Papers will be sent to YOU for
execution.
will take up the matter now
with the Second Assistant Post
master General looking to the
establishment of a mail route
from Hazen to Fallon and
thence continuing on to Eagle
vile This will eliminate the
service now existing between
Wadsworth and Saltwater.
Several applications have been
made to have this service as
mentioned but nothing could be
accomplished until an Office was
established at Hazen. To have
a mail route from Hazen to Fal-
lon will be much better service
than the present one from Wads-
worth to Saltwater. The pa
irons of the Carson Sink will
receive their mail much earlier
as we'll as the people of Fallon.
Sincerely yours,
c. ID. VAN DUZER.

Easy Victory for Fallon.

Fullon, 15; Wadsworth. 2.
The above score tells the story
of last Sundays baseball game,
The game was decidedly one
sided throughout, though for
the first six innings it strong gly
resembled league ball. Wads-
worth failed to cross the plate
until the ninth inning and the
two runs placed to their credit
at this stage of the game were
practically gifts, due to careless
ness on the part of the home
team. Phillips, Fallon's pitcher,
was there with the goods. He
showed up in league form and
was ably supported. Browning,
who filled the box for Wads-
worth, pitched a good game OF
ball, but the support given him
could have been much better.
A large crowd witnessed the
game. The band was there with
music galore and enlivened the
occasion. During the progress
of the game. Russell, Fallon's
third baseman, wrenched his
knee and was compelled to re-
tire. His place was filled most
creditably by Walter Perry.
The visitors took their defeat
manfully and expressed them
selves as well pleased with their
visit. It's boss and hoss now
and the rubber will be played in
the near future.

"As soon as the land is ready
for settlement said he, Il eX-
