RENO, April 1T is the general
belief that the negro, Weber, who
escaped lynching for rape by haing
taken to Carson, will not be trird in
this city as his attorneys have made
a plea for change of venue to Car

His attorney has stated that if 4
change of venue is allowed that the
negro will plead guilty and receive

sidered unsafe to bring the prisoner

TREES SHOULD
BE PLANTED

Solomon had a passion for trees.
Indeed, he is credited with being the
first who had transplanted to the home
soil those from other parts OF the world,
Judea in its day was famous for its
balsam, the fayorite plant of the queen
of Sheba, and she, knowing Solomon's
liking for transplanting is said to have
presented him with root of it.
1t is hoped that few Solomons will
be developed in this county, for there is
no place under the sun where trees
have a more prolific growth, and a
nominal outlay OF money in judicious
tree planting next spring, will not only
be means of beautifying the various
along the government
irrigation bitches, but would also aid
in the conserving OF the moisture, from
the process OF evaporation. 1t is the
policy of the government engineers in
charge OF work, to plant cottonwood
trees along all main canals to aid in
this process. Let the inhabitants lend
a hand and do all in their power to
promote the work. 1t is one of the
most vital questions now before the
people of this county, and should be
agitated by all.

TALES OF

year of 1906 will witness so many
changes and improvements in our town

plished to date will appear insignificant
To my mind there are many valid
reasons to bear this belief out. Re
ierring to our town OF Fallon, we
will no doubt see the completion OF the
Iazen-Fallon, branch, during the com
ing season. We are already assured
OF the completion Of a $4,000 high
school building, and new three-story
brick hotel, with all the modern con-
veniences, will also doubtless be erected.

time another school year has rolled
around. The commissioners, realizing
the growing need, are unanimously i'll
favor of installing u faculty that will
allow of the teaching of thorough
three years high school course. and
in the plans that will soon be drawn up
by the architect, provisions will be
made in the building for libraries,
labratories, necessary class rooms and
all other modern conveniences.
The idea that has been held by many
of our residents that there will not be
high school scholars in sufficient num-
bers to justify of the outlay necessary
for the building of modern structure,
is being rapidly exploded and with the
fast increasing immigration to this
section, it is not thought but what the
educational advantages offered will be
taken advantage of with avidity.
Many inquiries keep reaching this
Office of the educational advantages
held by this section, and the building
of The high school will only be in keep

in progress in this section.

SCHOOL
Site Has Been Decided and
Work VIII Not Be
Delayed.
John Oats and Wife Donate Block

The site OF the high school was
definitely decided at the meeting of the
county commissioners held last Mon
day, when the county officials formerly
accepted the gift OF John Oats and wife
who generously made donation to
the county for the purpose stated of
block fourteen in the addition bearing
his name. The block in question is
and the present location of the Indian
camp, and is considerered an ideal To-
cation. The site is centrally located,
susceptible 10 perfect drainage, and
comprises enough acreage to insure
generations who are to seek knowlege,
sufficient room to allow OF the install
ling of tennis courts, and other play
grounds.
Acting upon the impetus caused by
the locating Of the site, the residents of
the part Of town adjoining the future high
school grounds have already subscribed
over $500, which will be used in i'm
proving and beautifying the streets
leading to the high school block.
Now, that the high school bonds have
been sold, work ON the building will
commence as soon as the weather and
other conditions will allow, and it is
thought with the commencement of
a
building will be in progress. 1t is the
policy OF the honorable board of county
commissioners to expedite work as
much as possible SO that the building

"As the area of land to be covered by
any project is limited and the success OF
the project is usually dependent upon
all of the irrigable land being utilized,
care must be taken to secure the govern
ment in its investment by insisting that
before construction is begun the owners
of the irrigable land will permit their
land To be irrigated and will comply
with the letter and spirit OF the law in
regard to its subdivision; that is, large
land owners must obligate themselves
to subdivide their land at a reasonable
time and put it i'll the hands of men
who will live upon it and cultivate the
soil and not hold it for speculative pur-
poses for an indefinite period after the
works are built There are many large
land owners who would then hold their
land at speculative values and leave
the government works standing, in
part at least, idle through years or
decades. This procedure would, Of
course, be destructive OF the best in
terests of the country, and it is not con-
sdered wise to undertake any large
work until reasonable assurance is had
that the work will be utilized to its
full capacity as soon as soon as com

LIGHT COMPANY
HOLDS MEETING

Alta meeting of the stockholders of
the Fallon Light & Water Company,
held Thursday at New River Hall,
it was unanimously agreed to mortgage
the plant owned by the company to
Fairbanks, Morse Company to secure
the running of the company's affairs on
a practical basis, and looking towards
this end steps were taken to secure
fuel by carload lots, to extend the ser
vice to include all night, the installation
of storage batteries, and oil tanks, etc.
In addition to theseitems an active bid
is to be made for family patronage, and
it is figured that many lights will soon
be taken by residents. At the present
time the dynamos are only taxed to
about one half their full capacity.
The Fallon Light x Water Company

dent should feel proud, and its success

Mrs. Leander r. Parsons.

Mrs. Learnder r. Parsons died at
her home in this place last Sunday
night at 80 o'clock, the result OF
pneumonia and other complications re-
sulting from the inroads OF the disease
Last summer during the progress OF
the typhoid epidemic in this place she
worked night and day in an effort to
save lives, and that she accomplished
her purpose in 4 number OF instances
is a fact that many OF our residents are
willing to affirm. She was skilled
nurse and her services were eagerly
sought, with the result that the over
work and strain induced by her com
plianee with the numerous requests,
so weakened her system SO that before
she was aware OF her condition she was
seriously ill, and with little vitality lett
to combat the dread disease pneumonia,
serious at all times, her case seemed
hopeless almost from the first.
She leaves little daughter Janet,
aged ten years, who is great favorite
with this community, whose care was
the deceased lady's greatest thought
1t was her constant desire to so real
her that all advantages would be with
in her reach, and her last words were
an expressed desire that her care
would be properly looked to. The
home of Mrs. Parson and Janet has
been with DIR. q. NJ. Gardner and
family in this place for the past year
and to them will be entrusted the
future of the child orphaned by the
mothers death

ceding their departure for Hazen from

Engaged TO New York Clubman.

AS Is always the case with beautiful
girls, there have been many rumors con-
corning Miss Morrisons engagements.
However. there was doubtless little basis
for any of the, rumors until she met
Harry Patterson. Before she met Mr.
Patterson il was talked among her
friends that she was engaged to be mar
ried to 81 relative of Andrew Onderdonk
the rich contractor. now building the
tunnel 10 Brooklyn. This rumor was
believed because of her close friendship
with the members of the Onderdonk
family.
Harry Patterson was one of the most
popular men in the New York Clpb- He
was rated as millionaire, and his asso-
ciates all were wealthy. When he met
Miss Morrison he lost his heart COM

With the exception of his voluble eff
forts to clear Mrs. Stewart" his ap-

the indignity of enforced residence in
the county jail, Walsh maintains a rigid
silence as to his past. He is --dressy''
even in jail. He calls often for towels
ard soap and water. He continues to
part his hair in the middle. He told
Mrs. Stewart, whom many of the police
call his chief victim, that he made his
money as racehorse owner and bet
ting man. He has few of the airs of the
sporty" high-fyer and plunger for
which he posed before credulous women
He has more of the appearance OF a
barkeeper than anything else, and some
have said that the police know him as a
former saloon porter. Occasionally he
affected the manners Of a high-roIlIng
society man, bat he invariably makes a
mess of it-a mere burIesque and a fias-
