Hazen Has Troubles.

The little town of Hazen has
encountered a difficulty, that
bids fair to shatter her present
ambitions for terminal honors.
1t seems that the Southern Pa
cihc Company is sadly in need of
grounds. and cOvets the posses
sion of Is acIes owned by w. E.
Higman, the Hazen merchant.
In seeking to get possession
there ia a difference in the prices
offered and asked of $40 an acre,
Mr.. Higman valuing his real es-
tate at $50 per acre. while the
Hartman interests fail to see
more than $40. 1t is said that
unless Mr.. Higrnan will consent
to bring his selling figure to the
price they offer, the corpol alton
will move their terminal station
a mile west of the present town
ofHazen, and establish surround
ings more congenial.
Wednesday evening a number
of the Hazen interests held a
mass meeting to devise ways
and means, whereby the railroad
company's demands could be
satisfied, as retaliatory action is
greatly feared.

accused Of shooting Clyde Tay-
lor, on March 10Th. The sus-
pected criminal was released

the young lady who accompan-
led him at the time of the shoot
ing, could identify him as the

County Faces
Indebtedness.

At the meeting of the County
Commissioners held last Mon
day, the matter of raising funds
to defray county expenses was
considered, and it was found
that steps looking to this end
would have to be taken at their
next monthly meeting, which
will be held on The first Monday
in May. 1t is figured that the
county treasury will be practi-
callv exhausted of all surplus by
that time. 1t will be necessary
to borrow the money needed un-
der the emergency clause, as it IS
the only method authorized by
the state statutes to provide for
a deficit in county funds. At the
least calculation this deficit will
total $4,000. which will be
borrowed as it is needed, and
will be secured by the issuance
of bonds guaranteed by the
State Board of Finance.
A bill was introduced in the
last state legislature. which had
for its purpose the raising of our
tax levy 80 cents on the 500,
property valua tion. On an as
sessed valuation of 81, 100000,
the estimated total for Church
i'll county, the bill would have
provided nearly $4,000 addition
al funds, and would have helped
materially in defraving the ex-
penses, incurred largely through
the influx of our large floating
population.
AS it is, the taxpayers will be
required to liquidate something
omething like $1,000. extra ex-
pense incurred by paving interest
on borrow we'd funds, that cannot
be rep aid in full until June, 1907.

Davis to Make
Balloon Ascension.

The citizens of Fallon and vi
cinity are scheduled to enjoy the
privilege of witnessing a balloon
ascension on the afternoon OF
Friday, April 14th. Prof. Clar-
ence Davis, an experienced aero
naut, has been in town for sew
eral days past making the ne
cessary arrangements, and is
now engaged in construc ting
his balloon. According to his
figures the air bag will be 100
feet in circumference and 65 feet
in heigth when inflated, and is
calculated to carry the daring
Young man to an altitude of
several thousand feet,
On the evening following the
balloon ascension, the Fallon A.
A. {. Club will give several spir.
tied boxing contests, for which
the contestants have trained
faithfully, and they assure those

Arbor Day Comes On April u.

Friday, April II, has been des-
ignated as Arbor day, by Cover
nor Sparks. The following ex-
tract was taken from his procla-
nation, and contains advice that
should be generally observed.
This day should be observed by
our people with the laudable am
bition of making our homes.
public grounds and highways
more beautiful and attractive.
not only for our own comfort
and happiness, but also to give
pleasure to Others. Trees, shrubs
and flowers are certainly to be
considered emblems of culture
and refinement and a source of
pleasure and JOY to both old and
young. Nevada has been consid
cred a barren vast of mountain
and deserts, but with little
effort our homes may be made
beautiful, and when the stranger
goes to other and more favored
conditions than ours he NAV at
least carry in memory the scenes
OF many comfortable and happy
homes IN contrast to the formerly
monOtOnous scenery of the sage
brush State.

Irrigation
Progress.

The diverting dam now under
construction on the Burton
ranch west of town, is rapidly
nearing completion, under the
efforts of a large force Of men,
and will be ready for service ear
ly in NAV. 1t is 235 feet long,
and is calculated to raise the en-
tire flow of water to be consum-
ed by the Carson sink irriga ton
propect, a height of IL, feet,
which was made necessary by the
irregular topography of irrigable
lands. The main canal running
from thediverting dam to north ct
Soda lake will be completed
about May 1st.
The canal crossing 1 h e
south Fork of the Carson
river will also be completed
on or about the same date,
but it is intended by the
supervising engineers, that wa
ter shall be turned IN this canal
by the Goth of this month that
farmers who have cultivated
lands tributary, dependent upon
this means of irrigtion shall not
suffer.

Railroad Will
Be Built.

The contract for grading the
Hazen-Fort Churchill cut off
was let the first of the week to
the Utah Construction Com
pany, which firm will put on a
large force of men for the COM
mencement of work either next
Monday or Tuesday. The
Southern Pacific Company now
has its railroad material on the
way, and they will rush their
construction work to complet-
ion.
Although the new road will
traverse only corner OF the
Carson sink, its survey running
about 10 miles west OF this city,
it is destined to be a considera-
bic factor in the development of
this large and wonderfully fer
tile valley, bringing it in contact
with the gro wing market OF the
Tonopah gold region, where
hay is now said to be worth
from $40 to SEQ per ton. and
other produce in proportion.
However, it is intended prlmari-
lv as a cut off, and connects
with the Carson & Colorado at
Mound House, the northern
terminal of the latter road,
which belongs to the Southern
Pacific Compeny, and extends
at the present time south to
Bishop Creek, a distance of $50
miles. From Reno to Mound
House, a distance of about 40
miles, the Virginia & Truckee
railroad is operated and owned
by an independent body OF cap
italists, and is said to have in
terferred seriously in the past
with the plans of the Southern
Pacific Company.
The new cut off will be %
miles in length, and will save a
haul of nearly 100 miles on, the
rapidly growing Tonapah traffic
moving to and from the East.
With its completion the South
ern Pacific Company will own
its own trackage to Bishop
Creek. with a tributary terri
tory i'll which are situated the
mining centers of Goldhed and
Tonapah. 1t is said that
work will be commenced III the
near future on extension from
Bishop Creek south. with Los
Angeles slated for its terminal.
Corroborative of the latter state
ment, the Southern Pacific offic-
ials last Wednesday filed articles
of incorporation of the Nevada
and California railway company
with a capital stock of $15, 900
600.
The new move is very evident
" made in order to overcome
the advantage held by the Clark
lines in delivering Southern Cali
fornia fruits to eastern markets,
and has advantages in easy
grades and a growing tributary
country that make it a very de
sirable route.
