THESALOON BILL
It Will not Affect
the Saloons here

The bill which was drawn up
by u. S. District Attorney Sum-
merfeld, at the request of the
Department of the Interior, pro-
hibiting saloons from locating
along the canal work, has
passed both houses of our Legis-
lature and is ready for the gov
ernor's signature. Considera-
BILE comment has been heard
around town about the measure
and the STANDARD has endeav-
ored to learn from Churchill's
representatives the exact word
ing OF the bill, but have been un-
successful, however, from re-
liable authority, it has been
learned that towns which had
a population OF 100 people
when work was started in a
radius of five miles of the town,
were exempt, and that the
county mmissioners were free
to grant license.
The bill was worded in this
matter so as to allow Wads-
worth and Fallon to still reap
the benefits deceived from their
saloons.

There is much conjecture con-
corning the terminus of the new
railroad which is to run from
Hazen to Fallon.
Mr.. Browne, who is chief To-
eating engineer OF the Southern
Pacific. is conducting the sur
vey. They have passed through
Fallon and are about four miles
east, and are continuing the line
in the direction of Looming, on
the Carson & Colorado. Per-
sons who know the conditions
of the country in that direction,
are of the opinion that Looming
vii. be the point of termination
for the S p. branch line running
through Fallon.
Should this be the case, it is
needless to say that it will be
most advantageous to Fallon,
living in che center of one of the
most productive and garden
like valleys in the west, and only
needing the services of railroad
to make her future success an
established fact. 1t will also
give Fallon a direct communica-
ton with the Goldfeld and Ton
opah districts, the richest min
ing camps in the Uuited States.
1t is not necessary to look far
hence to see railroad trains con-
veying the rich products of this
valley to the worlds markets;
to see electric cars running from
here to Hazen, and Fallon, an
incorporated city of 10000, il
Illuminated by electricity.

held Tuesday evening, at which
all present voted in favor of in
corporation.

any voter will oppose this salu-
tary measure, but in order that
everyone may have an oppor-
tunity to express their views on
the matter, a mass meeting will
be held in the courthouse to-
night, where all will have an
equal chance in both hearing
and discussing the question.

lives about seven miles west of town
was the victim Of a very serious acct
dent Sunday morning. He started
from his home carrying a shotgun and
when short distance from the house,
he saw snake, which frightened him
for moment; he jumped aside and in
doing so, struck the gun on log In
some manner, which Ralph himself is
unable to explain, the gun was dis
charged and the shot entered his left
wrist, his breast and face. Half of the
wrist was blown off, leaving but one
bone in place. The shot attracted the
attention of neighbor who fastened
at once to the spot. The injured boy
was. taken to the home of Mr.. Hutton
and DR.. Stephenson of Libertyville,
was called. AS soon as he examined
the wounds, he sent for Dr. j. Fred
Clarke of this city and together they
dressed the wounds. Grave fears are
entertained as to saving the boys

breast are not regarded as serious.
