Build a Reservoir Above
FalIon This Winter

In an interview with dhos. II. Means,
engineer for the Reclamation Service,
yesterday he stated that they were not
in position TO begin work on the large
Reservoir west of Fallon, but they were
getting all necessary data so that when
the government had the money to ex.
pend on this much needed improvement
they would be prepared to go right
ahead. This Improvement Will cost IN
the neighborhood of a million dollars
and at The present tina there is not
enough money available to complete
the undertaking.
Mr.. Means explained that tho ramor
circulated In Fallon lhe frat of the
week originated from the fact that the
Reclamation Servic. was at work 1t the
present time examining the ground and
making tests on the proposed reservoir
site.
Thia Improvement Is aEeaed very
mseh for the storage Of water IN the
winter time fer use during the sammer
months, and when this work is once
started It will laean much TO the town
of Fallon. rs it would give from l60 to
200 men employment Ter several
months and their wages would practi-
eally all be spent here.

CONGRESSMAN G. A. BARTLETT ASKS HELP Of CONGRESS-
Carson Man Shows Discr.minat.
ing Rates on Railroads
To Nevada Points.

10 the Trans-Mississippi Congress:
that was held in San Francisco last
week, Afford Schartz of Carson Cit,
was one of the prominent speakers or
last Friday ani he asked in his speech
that the congress assist in an effort
to obtain fair treatment for the State
of Nevada at the hands of the trans.
portation companies.
Citing an instance of what he de-
clared was discrimination he asserted
that the rate on carloads OF certain
classes of goods from Chicago to Elko,
Nevada, was $500 car and that the
rate on the same merchandise from
Chicago to San Francisco, many hum
dreds of miles further west was only
$500 car.
las was well said by Mr.. Stubbs
the other day" said the speaker, 1--WE
must not indulge in any policy of bait
ing the railroads, but we do ask help
to get fairsr rate for Nevada. We
do not expect the same rates granted
to the important terminal of San Fran.
cisco but there Is room for equalization
between $500 and $500.
We feel that we have a right to de-
mand that Nevada be treated like every
other state in the union west Of the
Mississippi"

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS
nspires To Greater Labors. Ac.

Writer, Shober Rogers
EDITOR STANDARD.

EDITOR STANDARDS.
The session of the National lrriga-
on Congress at albuquerque, N. M.
,ept. 20, to Oct. 3, was notable for the
large number of delegates from foreign
countries. Men were there from nine
1f the foreign countries where irriga-
tion il factor in agriculture. They
we're there to learn how we construct
and manage our large irrigation sys-
ems and to teach US their methods.
One of the very ablest addresses made
1t the Congress was by veteran ir-
rigator of Cape Colony.
1.-The Congress has succeeded in Civ
ng irrigation prominence and in secur-
ng national legislation that is devel-
,ping the arid and semi-arid west. The
work of the Reclamation Service and
Forestry Service was heartily en-
dorsed.
The Congress imparts information
and inspiration. 1t is now asking the
Reclamation Service to put in electric
pumping plants to water land that. can
aot be reclaimed from streams. This
method of reclamation has been dem
,nstrsted to be feasible by the exper-
lmcnts of the Reclamation Service at
Garden City. Kansas.
The trip | have taken through the
states Of the southwest shows that
much has been done by irrigation and
vastly more is yet to be accomplished.
1t also demonstrates the superiority OF
.rrigatio farming over rainfall farm
.ng. Two For sale" signs that saw
posted on California farms illustrates
he difference, One farm was fsrmed
without irrigation and young trees
,.anted last spring had branches about
foot long, while similar trees on ir-
rigated farms had twice as much
growth. One sign read, 'for sale S25
an acre." the other, 'for sale, 6 acre
tract for sl2, 1000" Still farther | was
old by farmers in Wyo that they grew
10 bushels of oats to the acre without
irrigation. The farmers on irrigated
arms in the same state said that they
grew 100 bushels an acre.
Land owners in the Carson Sink
valley should mark up the price of
their land at least 100 per cent. The
discouraged home steaders should cheer
up and realize that their so are tracts
viii be worth all the hardships we are
going through many times over.
The Nevada exhibit was very cred
table. While we could not carry our
exhibits down in carload lots as did the
nearby exhibitors no one cou d say that
the exhibit lacked in quality. The
air commission required for exhibits,
.hings that go by weight such as pota-
tatoes, onions, grain, ETC., Is lbs; of
things that go by number such as Gu
cumbers, cantaloupes, etc., one dozen.
These regulations prevented our COM
psting for great number of prizes.
THE fair did not close till October,
20, and we hope to hear that we have
won some prizes. Many visitors at
the fair re,narkedto me that our wat
termelons. corn and onions had no
equals. One of the judges told me
that he regretted that did not have
IS pounds each Of the white and red on
ions and a half dozen watermelons like
the one we had. We could only enter
these in a collective exhibit for the rea-
son given above"

THE DREAD
 TUBERCULOSIS GERM
95 Per Cent of Men and Women. Over IS Years of Age, Have Tubercu. lOus Germs in Their
 System.

Leading doctors and diagnosticians,
 wh" have spent many years in study
 anti research, state that 95 per cent
 of the population over eighteen years
 of age have tuberculous germs in
 some parts of their body.
 Many people think of tuberculosis
 as disease of the lungs only. They
 do not realize that it may occur iii any
 organ or tissue of the body. It is only
 one form of tuberculosis when it af- fects the lungs and is then known as pulmonary consumption, but this
 same tuberculosis germ affects the liver. stomach joints and other parts
 of the body, and thousands who suf- fer are told by their doctors that they haveN rheumatism or uric acid Or lack of circulation. or one of the many we'll known diseases, when it is noth- ing else than the insidious working of the tuberculosis germ, and the patient has consumption of the part affected just as sure as he has pulmonary con- sumption when the lungs are affected
 The enormous percentage of men and women thus affected shows the importance of taking proper care Of
 the health before this dread tuber- culous germ has made an inroad into the system beyond repair
 If these cases were properly diag- nosed and Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey prescribed and taken there would not be so many invalids, cripples and deaths before middle age is reached. Fifty years of Investigation and tests by eminent physicians have proven that Duffy's Pure Malt Whlskey is
 the greatest germ killer known to science. In the thousands of cases in which it has been used it has never
 failed to destroy and drive the tuber-
 culous germ completely out of the sys- tenn in short time.
 The secret of the marvellous success
 of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey in cur
 ing and preventing lung and tuber- }culous troubles lies in the fact that its the greatest stengthener and
 health builder known to medicine It
 not only checks the ravages of the
 disease itself. but replaces the weak
 ened, destroyed tissues, helps the
 stomach to more perfectly digest and
 assimilate food ill order that more.
 richer and purer blood may come from it, and regulates and governs the hearts action. so that the circulation will be strong and powerful. carrying health and vigor to every organ and Ip2rt of the human body
