ESTIMATE IS
COMPLETED
Much Interest in Pro-
posed Railroad.

The survey for making the
estimate on the cost of con-
sti ucting the proposed new road
between Massie and Fallon has
been completed. Engineer I. II.
kruttschnitt will in few days
present his figures to those in
terested in the new road. after
which proposals for bids for
doing the work will be pcb-
liShed.
Several communications have
already been received from vari-
aus railroad outhtters request
ing an opportunity to bid on
the material to be used in the
construction, as well as a chance
to quote prices on rolling stock
The scheme is rapidly gaining
in popularity and there seems to
be no doubt that Fallon will
soon witness the entry of the
iron horse. Many of the most
conservative old settlers have
lately come to the front and
made overtures for stock i'll the
road.
The country over which the
line is to pass is nearly as level
as a billiard table and before
one would realize it the road
would be laid and ready for
equIpping.
That the road would pay
there seems to he no doubt. The
town is building up rapidly;
new business houses are contem-
plated, and all their freight and
lumber would be hauled by rail,
and freight is no small item in
this section. We are growing.
Before you know it we'll have a
city in this valley that will take
a back seat from none-and that
city will be Fallon.

LIVELY Y TIMES
FOR FALLON

Probably no other community
in the State of Nevada is forging
ahead in such strides as is the
town of Fallon. Within the
past year it has sprung up out
of the wildnetness into a town
enjoying a substantial prosper
ity. To the old settle the mighty
Transformation scene is puz-
zle, the newcomer is delighted
and the resident is happy in the
lap of fortune.
The passing week has been one
of unusual activity Strangers
have drifted in in plenty and
each night the hotels have been
crowded. Thursday the main
street was alive with teams.
there being over ten twelve and
fourteen anima freighterS on the
street at one time. 1t is esti-
mated that there are III the
neighborhood of $50 animals on
the road between Fallon and the
railroad.
y all times money is free and
plentiful. There is as vet no
criminal element and one can
come and go in perfect safety.
Building continues brisk and
is yet in its infancy This sum
mer will see a building boom
such as will eclipse anything of
the kind in Nevada. Real estate
is consistently high and offers a
safe and sound investment.
To just what proportions Fal-
Ion will ultimately attain is, of
course. a matter of con lecture.
Howe yer. it is not an idle boast
to predict that ere the close of
the present year she will have
distanced many other Nevada
towns on the highway of popu-
lation.

NEWS FROM
THE CANAL

Word comes from Beasley's
camp that by the first of the
coming month he will have fin
ished his sub-contract on the
main canal. Work in other To-
calities is progressing satisfac-
torily to both the Government
and the contractors. At the
big dam site engineers quarters
are being built and as soon as
possible a large force of men
will be put to work at that
point.
This work will be no more
than started when the big canal
will have reached the reservoir,
after which the forces of men
now working on the canal on
the other side of the dam will
be transferred to this end and
Fallon will be greatly benefited.

Filed on Improved Land.

This week a gentleman by the
name of Steele went to Carson
and filed on 160 acres of govern
ment land, near the Bailey ranch
in this valley. Upon his return
to locate on the land, it was
found that there were 40 acres
of improved alfalfa land included
III his 160 acres which 40 acres
Mr.. Bailey had supposed were
his property and of which he has
been in possession number of
years. Upon investigation it
was found that an error was
made at the time Bailey made
a purchase of some land from
the State, and that IN reality,
as shown by the records, his
purchase 3, is in another town
ship. Mr. Bailey has gone to
Carson to inquire into the mat
ter. 1t is understood that the
difficulty will be adjusted to the
satisfaction of both parties.

The Bee Industry.

The bee industry is rapidly
forging to the front in this val
ley. Within TIE past few weeks
there have been five carloads
shipped to Fallon from Califor-
MIA points and two more car
loads are on the way. Each
car contains 200 colonies and it
is variously estimated that in a
colony are from 10000 to CO.
600 bees.

at 8 =. m. After the long summer

to be together again, and all entered

Bassett is the most youthful member

isfaction was felt over the easy, dig

All Bids Rejected.

There will be delay in the erection
of the new city building. AS a re-
suit of Tuesday nights meeting the
council decided to reject all bids.
This was not done without consid-
cradle discussion.
The committee appointed at the
meeting on the 4th inst. to report and
make recommendation as to letting
the contract, reported in favor of
giving the job to the W.T.. Hadlow
Co. of jacksonville. This is what
precipitated the discussion.
Aid. Points made a motion that
the report of the committee be re-
iected. He stated that the Hadlow
people had amended their bid, and
that if THAT company was allowed
the privilege the other companies
should be given the same opportuni-
ty. Mr.. Points also stated that the
council committee appointed to look
over the plans of the architect, of
which he was a member, had not
gone into the matter thoroughly; it
had taken too much for granted;
subsequent investigation had con-
WINGED him that the plans and speci-
fication We're not sufficiently eNpli-
cit as to detail and left too much to
the decision of the architect. That
being the case, changes might be
made and these changes might cost
the city great deal more money
than the contract price. The coun-
Gil, he said, should know in advance
Just what the building is to cost.
Aid. Gay did not take the same Sc
rious view. He said that the com
mittee had reported in favor of the
Hadlow company after satisfying
itself that it was a responsible COM
pany, and in its report the. commit
tee had only in view the best in
terests of the tax payers.
Aldermen Holmes and Brown
ing also addressed the cOun-
Gil. The vote on the rejection OF the
report of the committee was by roll
call and resulted in favor of its re-
lection by vote of 6 yeas to noes.
\ A motion was then made and
passed to reject all the bids and

Many of the large farmers of the west

One Dakota farm is now experiment

purpose. By this cOntrivance the pow

mast forty feet high set in the open
ground.
At the top of this mast a double con-
Quoting cable is connected, this in turn
being connected TO the tractor. which
consists of a twenty-five horsepower
motor on n heavy carriage. 4 spar ten
feet high is carried on the carriage
with a universal joint pulley on top,
over which the cable is led to a drum
on the carriage which automatically
takes up any slack cable as the tractor

harvester, the cable being kept from
sagging by the action of the drum.
With cable of about 800 feet in length
twenty-five acres can be worked. The
work has proved so satisfactory that it
is proposed 10 extend the system TO COW
er 600 acres, which will require twenty
four mastS at suitable intervals.
The device should prove quite essen
tial during the spring wheat operations.
as each days delay in seeding is detrl-
mental to the future crop. The owners
of the farm on which they are using
this method propose when planting
time comes for the spring wheat TO in
stall arc lamps on the masts and carry

go on night and day. thus saving valu-

a Curious Heater.

The curious electric heater of n. CT
mile Herrgott consists of conducting
wires woven into carpets ana other
fabrics, and it is designed to give 4
moderately high temperature to the
fiber, hemp, cotton, linen or silk. 1t
does not affect the pliability or appear
ance of the material. 1t is claimed
that the heater is perfectly safe and
that the wires cannot be raised above
certain temperature. The arrange
ment can be applied TO many purposes.
Carpets, rugs, etc, can be kept at the
temperature of the body or higher, and
dry or wet medical applications can be
kept easily ut 40 degrees c. In the in
duStrieS numerous uses are suggested,
as in filters for fatty or gelatinous mat
tiers and for warming carriages or
trains. etc.
