FALLON WILL
HAVE RAILWAY
Reports Announce An
Early Commence
ment of Work.

Rumors keep reaching this city
from various sources OF the
Southern Pacific company's in
tention to extend branch rail-
way line into Fallon some time
DUNG the coming summer or
early fall, and while nothing has
been given out officially, it is
deemed practically certain that
bv the time stated we will be en-
joying the privileges afforded by
direct railway communications.
A right-of-Way for building a
railroad across the state lands
between this place and Hazen
was granted by the last state
legislature, and the grantees
have signified their willingness
to transfer the privileges en-
bodied in the franchise, should
the Southern Pacific company
care to use them. In addition
leading citizens affected have al
most unanimously offered every
inducement possible to encour-
age railroad building,
Senator w. w. Williams has
agreed to donate ten-acre
tract of land for terminal
grounds in addition to a right
of-way through his farm to be
100 feet wide.
With Fallon's future in view
coupled with the generous coop
alton offered by our citizens,
and the remark ably easy route
afforded for the IL miles of con
struction necessary to give us
outside connections, it would be
a strange thing indeed if we
were overlooked.
The preliminary surveys were
completed last spring, since
which time speculation has beer
rife as to just when actice work
will follow. AS the railroad
company seldom makes public
it's plans, it is more than prob
able that the first announce
ment of this kind will be active
work.
At the present time there are
from so to rs teams of from four
to ten horses each, operating
between this city and Hazen,
and the traffic they handle coup
led with the large number of
passengers daily accommodated,
certainly form an inducement for
railway building. When our
future is considered also, it must
be a powerful incentive for i'm
mediate work. for the section
around our city is composed of
the richest lands tributary to
the Carson Sink irrigation en-
terprise, and as such are suscept-
ible to the highest state of cul-
tivation and most rapid devel-
ODment.
