JOLLY CHRISTMAS TREE
Constructed from Sage Brush on
Wooden Frame

There are no pine or fir trees growing
In the vicinity OF Tonopah and the people
OF that place had difficult time in pro-
viding Christmas trees. and most families
had to be contented with hanging up their
stockings. The jolly and wealthy MEM
bers of the Tonopah Club were not to be
without tree. however. and they pro-
vided one which was without doubt the
most unique Christmas tree ever seen in
any land.
The committee In charge of the affair
got large pole and placed it in the GEN.
ter of the club room floor. They then
nailed boards to the pole for limbs and
tackled sage brush TO the limbs for foli-
age. This was a dry and mournfui look
ing Christmas tree, but 1t was the bes,
the country afforded and the Tonopah
Club members made the best of IT,
From the shaggy and lean-looking
limbs they hung numerous gifts for all
members of the club. They enjoyed the
occasion as much as II their hall was
graced with one of the prettiest and
.greenest trees of the Sierra Nevada

.FALLON WANTS
ELECTRIC POWER
Proposal to Connect Churchill
With the Railroad at
Hazen

The new city of Fallon will soon see its
f1ndest hope realized. This metropolis
of the new government irrigation district
has future that is brilliant and secure,
but it's people long for means of commu-
nication with the outside world other
than weary drive over the desert to
the Southern Pacific line
The Journal learns that a syndicate of
Reno and Fallon capitalists has been
quietly working for several weeks on an
electric railway project. The proposed
Engineers have been over the line and
they find that construction of the road
will be an easy and inexpensive matter.
Already the proposed company is well
financed. Four Reno men and two Fall
lonites, all people of large means, have
formed a nucleus for the proposed COM
pany and San Francisco people have also
signified their desire to get in on the
ground floor.
The road can be built and equipped for
$4,000, according to rough estimates by
the engineers who have been employed
for the preliminary work. The power
will be taken from the Truckee river at
a point short distance above the head
of the government canal This plant will
also be used for lighting the new town
of Hazen.

WALKER RIVER
INVESTIGATION
Another irrigation System May
be Established by the
Government

Although it is a matter of uncertarty
whether or not the government will Il -se
up within the next few years the recla-
nation of the arid lands in the Walker
river basin, Supervising Engineer l.. IL.
Taylor has beei instructed to place a
force of enginees into the territory and
make preliminary survey and estimate
of the cost Of tie undertaking. This or
der comes In response to lengthy petit
tion that was forwarded to the Secretary
of the Interior by residents of the valley
who want the government to establish an
sasive irrigation system and also to
satisfactorily adjust the contentious over
the water rights.
In discussing the subject Engineer Tay-
lor stated that the petition of the water
users and land owners Of the Walker riv-
er basin, comprising over 90 per cent of
the same, had been forwarded to the Sec
retary of the Interior at Washington.
This petition asked the government aid
for water storage in this basin, and was
an agreement by the farmers to turn over
their rights to the government, in lieu
of which they were to receive back an
amount of water sufficient to rrigate all
the land they now had under actual cul-
tivation.
He also stated that in reply to this pc
tition he had received word from the de-
partment at Washington to place corps
OF surveyors in the field In the Walker
river basin as soon as possible to survey
and plat the country so that an estimate
could be made of the cost of a system for
this section.
This, ne said he would be able to do
about the first of next April. possibly
sooner.
He was not prepared te say how long
1t would take to do this preliminary
work, but thought IL would be at least
year after 1t was begun before actual
2 construction work could be commenced
