SODA WORKS
At Soda Lake Are In the
Hands of a Re
ceiver.
Fred L. Small, Formerly County
Commissioner In Charge.

BY an order OF Judge Curriers' court
made last Monday, Fred l.. Small, for
merly of this county, was appointed re-
ceiver of the Soda Lake Soda Works,
and in pursuance to the order, Mr.
Small took charge OF the entire property
Wednesday.
This action is the result OF a suit COM
menced some months ago by the widow
of W. D. Epperson who was the part
ner of +. Griswold, who claims To own
the soda works at the present time
In her complaint Mrs. Epperson claims
that a satisfactory accounting was
never rendered as regards the conduct
OF the business during the years that
the defendant in the action and her
deceased husband were associated
jointly in the soda works, during which
time Mr.. Griswold is said to have had
the sole management. According to
Mrs. Epperson's complaint, there is
still due the state a sum in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 which is said to have
been beef misappropriated by Mr..
Griswold.
Until such time as the case can come
up for hearing, the property, including
all machinery, products, etc, will re-
main in the hands OF the receiver.
The Soda Lake soda works, situated
five miles north of Fallon, is one OF the
finest properties of the kind in the west.
A great deal OF expensive machinery
has been installed and the period during
which time it has been worked, goes
back to thirty years ago. The average
product OF the works is at the present
time in the neighborhood Of a tor
a day, the crude soda being hauled tt
Hazen from where it is shipped to sar
Francisco for refining, after which il
finds ready sale
The source OF supply is one of the
natural phenomenas of this section com
ing from the waters OF Soda Lake,
body OF water some five square miles il
extent, of great depth, with no surface
stream flowing in or out.
The site of the lake was originally
volcanic crater, and the processes re
suting have been instrumental il
creating a soda supply that impregnate
the entire body of water in suflicien
quantities to allow of its working t,
profit. BY reason of the fact that tn
supply is deemed inexhaustible, tn,
property is particularly valuable, an,
whenever the present litigation i

In their charters a provision for the

any public official may be compelled to
submit himself for reelection when his
course in office is challenged by con-
siderable number of voters.
DE Tocqueville said: "The remedy
for the evil Of democracy is more de-
mocracy." Beyond all question, we
are suffering from certain evils which
have arisen with the growth of de-
mocracy. Now let us administer an
antidote, which is "more democracy. ="
And let Nevada lead the way and
thereby inspire the nation by its ex-
ample.
We are to receive during the next
ten years many thousands of settlers
from all parts ol the Union. There is
much to be done in preparing the way
besides merely getting the water upon
the land. For one thing | would like
to see Nevada adopt the most advanced
methods of industrial education so that
our boys and girls may come forth from
the schools fitted to make living,
ii need be, from the soil But this and
many other new state politics that
might be suggested must largely await
the accomplishment OF fundamental
resources.

PROSPECTORS ARE
NOW WANTED

number OF prospeetors passed
through Fallon this week, bound for
points south and east. Some go to
Sand Springs, where several phenome-
nal strikes have been made during the
last few months. Others are intent
upon exploiting the values in the Still
water mountains. There is no longer
any doubt of the mineral richness hid
in the bosom of this county, and con-
certed effort on the part of our local in
terests would do much to assist in its
development. 1t has been suggested
that the business men of this town band
themselves together for the purpose of
raising money to equip prospecting
parties. Good idea. If only one out of
fifty men sent out found paying
mine, it would be ample compensation
for the trouble and expense incurred for
a bona tide mining proposition would
do more for our section in CONNER
cal sense than the development of
several square leagues of agricultural
lands. Not but that the latter is
good thing, for it is, and the immense
acreage surrounding Fallon, warrants
the building of many homes, but the
mining industry as an adjunct
would work wonders in maintaining a
business life that is unknown save in
the mineral zone. Mother earth in
Churchill county, has been blessed by
nature with an endowment of both min
eral and agricultural wealth, that must
make of it, one OF the grandest counties
under the sun.

DEAL
Consummated Whereby R. L.
Douglass Bank Becomes Co
operative Institution.
Mr.. douglass Retains Substantial
IntereSt-0thers Interested.

One OF the most important business
deals occurringin Fallon for long time,
was consummated Wednesday when
George Turrithn, president of the
Bank of Nevada and Maritz Scheelipe
first vice-president of the same institu-
tion acting on behalf of local and out
side interests formally took over the
banking business of X. l.. Douglass,
and the building and real estate, that
goes to make up the property in its en-
tirety. We understand from unofficial
sources that the consideration was in
the neighborhood of $25, 900.
The institution will be conducted for
the present under the name of X. l..
Douglass, banker and no changes will
be made in the manner of its conduct
until certain contemplated changes
have been effected. Ii present plans do
not mscarry this will be accomplished
on or about March 10Th. j. I. Collins
who has been cashier of the X. l..
Douglass bank since the date OF its
founding may be retained as cashier
tor the new institution, should he care
to continue in that capacity.
1t is the plans of those most active
with the new banking deal to ineorpor :
ate the enterprise under the laws of the
state Of Nevada for 100000, half of
which will be paid up. Two thousand
shares will be sold OF par value OF
500 each and it is the sincere desire of
those interested that a majority of this
stock be retained by local capital. Ii
this can be done majority of the
/ this locality and the new banking en-
! terprise will be essentially Il Churchill
county institution. in which every citi-
zen can take special pride. To make
/ the bank name conform to this idea the
suggestion that the future name OF
/ the new institution be known as the
! Churchill County Bank, has met with
general favor, and it is generally under
derstood that this will be the future
firm name.
Prominent Churchill county parties
! financially interested in the new pro-
/ ect are Senator w. W. Williams, r.
l.. Douglass, j. w. Richards, Ex-
senator George Ernst, District At
torney W c. Grimes, Thomas Dolf,
W. w. Sanford, John Oats, Rosenberg
Brothers and number of others.
Mr.. Douglass motive in retiring from
active charge of the banking institution
of which he has been head since its es-
tablishment more than year ago, Is
given a. being on account of the time
necessarily consumed by his other
varied business interests. His all
mnstration OF the banks affairs has
been instrumental in placing it on a
sound business basis with a reputation
second to none in the state, and
the nearly 100000 deposits now
in the care of the bank is mute
evidence to the confidence in which his
institution was generally held. Mr..
Douglass will devote majority of his
time to the Island ranch,
which property comprises some 1900
acres of the finest land in the Carson
Sink, and he has many new innovations
that he hopes to see installed with the
rapid development that is now III
progress throughout this county.

ALFALFA GROWING
In THIS COUNTY
HISTORY.


Alfalfa has been cultivated as a forage
plant for more than twenty centuries.
1t Is a native OF western Asia, was cultl-
waited by ancient Greeks and Romans,
and its cultivation has been maintained
in the Mediterrean region down to the
present time. From Spain it was IN
troduced into Mexico at the time OF the
Spanish invasion and thence to the west
coast of South America, and i'll 1884 to
California. 1t rapidly spread over the
irrigated districts of the western half of
the United States, where it IL now
cultivated almost to the exclusion of
other forage plants; but success was OBJ
tanned in the eastern half of the United
States in few localities only.
NAME OF PLANT.
The Arabic name alfalfa is the
one by which the plant has been known
in Spain, and this name accompanied
the plant when it was carried to Mex
leo and the western United States. The
plant is now generally known in this
country under the name alfalfa, al

Idaho and Wyoming, where the name
is pronounced with the accent on the
first syllable.
Alfalfa grows best i'm a well-drained, +,
loamy soil with a subsoil sufficiently
open TO allow the roots to penetrate to a
considerable depth yet an examination
of the soil in the various alfalfa districts
shows that there is a much wider
variation in the soil conditions than
has been generally supposed. In the
irrigated regions the soil is usually
adapted to the growth of alfalfa and
little difficulty is experienced in OBJ
tanning successful stands. However,
like other plants, alfalfa suffers il, from
improper methods of irrigation, the
the soil becomes too strongly impreg
mated with alkali. Old alfalfa fields
may apparently withstand considerable
quantities of alkali, because the deep
seated roots may be drawing their
supply OF water from lower strata,
where there is less alkali.
The relation of alfalfa to alkali soil
has been investigated by the California
Experiment Station. 1t was found that
the tolerance OF salt solutions in the
soil by young alfalfa plants is about as
follows, which represents the amount
of alkali in an acre OF soil for the up
per two feet: Sodium carbonate, | 200
pounds; sodium chloride, $50 pounds ;
sodium sulphate, 200 pounds. Well
established plants are able to withstand
a much larger proportion of mineral
salts. An old alfalfa field in good con-
dition was examined, in which the
alkali present in the upper six feet OF
an acre was: Sodium carbonate, 5000
pounds; sodium chloride, 5000 pounds !;
sodium sulphate, 100000 pounds. In
such old fields the plants shade the
soil and prevent the surface evapora-
tion which tends to bring the alkali up
ward. Ii alfalfa is to be sown upon
soil, the alkali should be first reached
downward by one or, it necessary, two
thorough irrigations before planting.
With the alkali, or at least the ex-
cess of it, kept below or 6 feet by
proper irrigation the alfalfe will thrive.
/ An excess of water in the soil is a very
unfavorable condition for alfalfa.
! Where the water level is near the sur
i face, or where the surface water from
heavy rains is unable to drain off rapidly
alfalfa usually fails. For this reason an
alfalfa field is injured by being sub
merged from an overflow, or even killed
/ if the water remains over the surface
for too long period. Experience has
shown that when covered by clear run
ninging water the injury is much less
than when a sediment is deposited OF
/ the water is stagnant. Ordinarily al
/ falfa will not Withstand an overflow oi
more than few days. Flooding in
the winter is less injurious than dur
ing the growing season. On irrigated
/ fields Injury often follows from accumu-
lation of water in depressions after q
/ flooding. The alfalfa is killed out in
these spots and noxious weeds gain q
/ ioothold.
