there to accommodate passengers.
CHAs. S. FEE.
Mr.. Means has telegraphed
General Passenger Agent D. E.
Burley that any time after Dec.
1st and before the 1st of March
would be the most appropriate
time for these people to come to
this irrigation project on sight
seeing tour. THIS would be at a
time when all the busy seasons
of the ranchers are over and they
can find time 10 assist in showing
these welcomed visitors over this
fertile valley and convincing
them that this would be a splen-
did place for them to locate.
Now, if the railroad authorizes
are taking such an active inter-
est in advertising this communi-
ty to the people of the east, why
should we not do our share?
When these people arrive we
should do all in our power to en-
tertain them and give them every
encouragement possible. This is
a very good start and we, if we
want TO build up our community,
should spare no time and expense
in properly entertaining these
visitors.
Let the Truckee- Carson Farm
ers' Association call a special
meeting of all the citizens of this
valley and organize a committee
to secure proper accomodat ons
and formulate some pan of en-
terta nment. Every man in this
community should assist to make
this entertainment 10 the coming
VS.. tors a success, SO if they re-
turn TO the east they will have a
good word for Fallon and Chur-
chill county.
