DANCE
Alpine Lodge No. "a Knights
of Pythias Give Fourth
Annual Ball
An Enjoyable Time was had. A
Large Attendance

The soeialhop given by Alpine lodge,
No. 24 on Christmas night was all that
could be desired, and the members OF
that order ably sustained their
previous regulations as hosts. The
couples seventy in number were from
all parts OF Churchill county, and com
posed one OF the most brilliant as
semblages ever gotten together in this
county.
Gowns and finery were in evidence,
and pretty girls and handsome young
men too, all products OF the Carson
Sink, and the many complimentary
things said OF the affair would fill a
book. 1t is enough to say that it was an
unqualified success III every sense OF
the word and the fourth anniversary
ball will live in the minds of the dance
lovers Of this section until another
year has rolled around, when its
memory will be subplanted by Its
successor.
To the committee in charge Of the
affair composed Of VI. L. Wildes, J. ?.
Schneider and \. +. Hammond is due
the lions share Of the credit. They
worked necessarily for its success.
Likewise the supper came in for praise
it was the result Of hard work and
skill on the part OF Mrs. c. L. Allen
and her culinary ability was demon
strated to the satisfaction Of all present.
Financially, the event was one OF the
few of the kind that has returned any re-
Enumeration for the trouble incurred.

Saloon Robbed.

The Club Saloon owned and con-
Quoted by VIM. Maxwell was entered
and robbed last Wednesday night. En-
trance was secured by the robber
or robbers through the front
door which is equipped with a night
latch that had become worn and
allowed of the door being opened as
easily as if there had been no lock. The
perpetrators of the deed were ap-
parently novices in the business OF
houserobbing, and made no effort to
steal anything save the loose change
sft in the cash register, which amounted
to about $40.
Mr.. Maxwell considers himself fortu-
nate that no other depredations were
committed, and thinks the discovery
Of the shortcomings of the lock is
worth the loss incurred. 1t is safe to
say that in the future robbers having
designs upon the contents of Mr.. Max
wells saloon will not have the easy
time enjoyed by the principals of
Wednesdays affair.
The robbery mentioned calls to mind
the fact that the town of Fallon has no
police protection at night, since the
resignation of former Nightwatchman
Eli Hardy, which occurred several
weeks ago.

TELLS OF OPPORTUNITIES

/ Churchill county Is one Of the most
talked about sections in America at
/ the present time, on account Of the
vast amount OF work being done by
the government in the progress OF
/ the construction OF the Carson Sink
Irrigation system. Just stop and
think will you, of solid sheet Of
water, two feet III depth covering the
immense surface OF Lake Tahoe, and
the good ii will do when utilized on
the desert lands Of this county. Think
OF the immense acreage it will irrigate
Thousands OF acres Of government land
will be brought under cultivation, and
will be devoted to diversified farming
Hogs, poultryand stockraising will be an
important item, and dairying must add
to the general prosperity. The pro-
ducts named will always bring ready
money for such staples always com
mand good prices. | expect to see
some failures. Not all the land
is good and some is highly impreg-
mated with alkali, which will require Il
long time before it can be washed out,
but the climate Is hard to beat. Farm
ers can plow and harrow eleven months
in the Year, and the hay stacks re
main in the open with not a particle OF
deterioration in its quality. As feed
ing place this section must always be
an ideal one. Corrals are dry and
sandy the year round, and the ther-
mometer always stands from ten to
fifteen degrees higher than in the Hum
bolct and Carson valleys. In view OF
these facts cattle and sheep feeding
must eventually form one of our princi-
see the erection of an immense sugar
factory, similar to the ones now in
Utah, supplying sugar to the state
trade while the waste pulp can be
utilized in the feeding OF stock, which
can be fattened Oh this product for the
market | would say to the young
men OF Nevada, don't 90 chasing
around after rainbows and run after
every mining excitement that springs
up; don't immigrate to South Africa
in the expectation OF getting a posi-
tion with a fat salary; you should
bear in mind that good mines and
good salaries come to few If you locate
in Churchill county the first few hun
dred dollars may come slow, but few
yearsof perseverance and economy spent
here will place you on easy street, and
you can look back to to a time well
spent in a section replete with ideal
conditions and among friends and
relatives" "

Gard of Thanks.

We desire to tender to the good
people of Fallon, and especially to the

kindnesses rendered during the illness
of our deceased relative, Mrs. Addie

never be forgotten.

intent of the law is that the lands re-
claimed shall be held in the ownership
of those who reclaim them To this
end the only means of obtaining any
lands under government irrigation is
through the homestead laws of the
United States, which require actual
continuous residence thereon, and i'm
proyement and cultivation of the land
for five years. Residence must be es-
tablished on the land within six months
from date OF entry.
The government furnishes water for
irrigation through its canals, and this
water will cost the irrigationists under
this project $25 per acre of irrigable
land, payable in ten annual INSTALL
ments, without interest commencing
December 1st, of the year in which
water is first delivered to the consumer
in April of that year. Title to the
public lands is not given until all water
rights have been paid in full
The lands to be irrigated have been
subdiyided into farm units of 40, so
100 and 100 acres each, each tract hav-
ing been first examined by soil ex-
perts, and its surface surveyed to de-
termine its irrigability. The pre-
vail1ng idea has been to make each
farm unit capable OF sustaining in com
fort one family.
Land entries are made at the United
States Land office in Carson Nevada,
and at Fallon, Nevada, before the
United States commissioner. The
railroad station nearest the lands
being brought under irrigation is
Hazen, Nevada, on the main line OF
the Central Pacific railroad, about
fifty miles east of Reno.
The county owns and operates free
telephone system which reaches the
major portion of the homes in the
valley. 1t is connected by rail and
telegraph with the rest of the world,
and San Francisco and Salt Lake
daily papers reach the most remote
portions of the valley the day after
issue. During the work of construction
of the canal system in this valley the
government and its contractors have
employed large numbers of men and
this work is still in progress. The
wages paid are equal to the standard
of American wages, elsewhere uniformly
good. The headquarters of the govern
ment reclamation force is at Hazen
Nevada. This project is under the
charge of Mr.. l.. Ii. Taylor, supervising
engineer, in the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, to whom all inquiries for
information should be addressed.
The Churchill Standard, and the
good citizens of Churchill county will
welcome all intelligent, worthy and
thrifty home-seekers, who have the
courage and ambition to become indie
pendent landed proprietors under the
benificent influences of the Reclamation
Act.

Washington. Aug. 23.-The findings
and opinion of the court of inquiry
which investigated the fatal explosion
of the gunboat Bennington have been
made public by Secretary Bonaparte at

presses the opinion that the explosion
was caused by excessive steam press
ure in boiler Il. resulting from the clos
Ing of the valve connecting the boiler
with the steam gauge. The court is
also of the opinion that ID. n. Holland.
a fireman on duty. had made the mis-
take of shutting off the valve" The
court further found that Ensign
Charles Wade OF the engineer depart
ment of the ship was at fault I'm failing
to see that the steam valves and safety
valves were overhauIed at the proper
time and kept In good order. having ac-
cepted the verbal statements OF subor-
dinates that this had been done In
March. II is clear that he was negli-
gent in the performance of his duty
and should be brought before a court
martial The navy department has not
yet acted on the proceedings and find
ings.

New York. Aug. GA glance at the

that there are more visitors In New

corresponding period in years. Nearly
every one of the ninety large hotels
devoted to the accommodation of
transient visitors. in which there is
total of more than $1,000 rooms. In
filled 10 its capacity. and so are the
eighty apartment hotels for the same
class. where there are about 20 900
rooms. II Is estimated that In these
10 caravansaries alone something like
100000 persons have been received in
the last week. and the extent to which
this kind of travel is growing isNlndi-
Gated by the fact that south Of One
Hundredth street about 5000 tnore
rooms are being made ready In hpteIs
yet i'm course OF construction. Many
OF the hotel patrons are foreigners. but
the great ms ;ority are Americans who
have come TO 'see New York"
