the sale being under the supervision of
Mr.. Poultney of the commissary depart
ment OF the reclamation service.
As is usual with "Uncle SAM" the
best talent is always employed to carry
out all of his undertakings, consequent
ly the services of Deputy Sheriff Balm,
the silver-tongued auctioneer from the
"Sucker" State, were engaged to con-
vince the doubtful that a selling platter
was really a stake horse. The stacks of
golden eagles in the hands of Disburs-
ing Officer G. NJ. Paddock after the sale
bore mute testimony to the efficiency OF
ye auctioneer.
Quite a large crowd was in atten-
dance. The bidding WAS active for the
most part and particularly spirited on
the brood mares, and as they are from
extra good stock, foals from these mares
should be very valuable.
Following is complete list of the
animals sold and the names of the pur-
chasers:
G. b. Rice, one l40o-lb. brood mare
and one l600-lb work horse.
Fred A. Nelson, one 1400-lb. brood

passed through Fallon Tuesday on his
way to Reno, where he goes On business
connected with the establishment of a
bank at Fallon, which will become a

by Mr.. Leonard, another link being the
Merchants and Miners Bank, at Raw

In the case of J. J. Myers, OF Raw

tering a check on the Churchill County
Bank in favor of @. b. Symmes, when
he had no funds in the bank, and whose
preliminary examination took place
week before last before last before Judge

attorney for the defendent will apply to
the Judge of the District Court for the
appointment of a comite de lunatico in

will defer binding the defendent over

would entail great expense, and await

ENGINEER MEANS RETURNS.
From Yuma Conference Of Consulting Engineers,
Of Which he Mas Secretary.

Thomas II. Means, engineer in charge
of this project returned home yesterday
from a trip to Washington, d. c.. and
Yuma, Arizona. Health and recreation
was sought at the National Capital
while the Yuma sojourn was character
lied by the most important meeting of
reclamation project engineers held to
date. The Importance of the meeting
came out Of the fact that as Uncle Sans
reclamation work goes on apaee, the
work evolving out OF project construc-
ton, increases in volume. Mr.. Means
acted as secretary of the conference,
which adjourned on the 10th, and while
we we're not able to secure any data from
Mr.. Means relative to the doings Of the
conference, we learn that the request
made by agriculturists OF this valley,
that provisions be made for homestea-
ders OF limited resources who have the
disposition to do so, that they be allow
ed an opportunity to work out their wa
ter charges upon project work, in lieu
of actual cash, has been acted upon fav-
orly by the project engineers and that
an urgent recommendation has gone to
the department for such provision.
The matter OF the early
OF the Carson storage
dam was referred to the conference, but
could not be acted upon, as it was inter-
preted as being purely an issue that
this project alone, and as re-
suit the project will have to work out
it's own problem. 1t is not thought at
this time that the work upon the dam
can be commenced for year or two at
the outside, and at least two years will
be consumed in the completion of the
once begun.

LADIES ENTERTAIN
THEIR FRIENDS,

Mrs. G. NJ. Gardner, assisted by Mes
danes c. M. Burchell and W. c. Black
delightfully."- entertained the members Of
the Fallon 900" club, their husbands
and few invited friends at the Dr.
G. NJ. Gardner home in this place, last
evening. In all forty people were pre-
sent, and as the date of the entertain
ment was set in Difference to st. yalen-
tines day, the decorations of the even
ing, conformed to the generally accept
ed conceptions of cupid and verses that
seemed pertinent to cupid's ways,
adorned the table cards. Strange to say,
Cupid had no business at the party Of
last evening, for those present were all
married folks.
The evening was given over to the
play of 500, at which the ladies
seemed to have the best OF 1t, but this
is nothing more than is to be expected,
because the ladies didn't organize their
'500n club for nothing neither did they
organize it for their own amusement,
according to the gentleman of last even
ing's party who are quite willing to al
firm that the organization was perfected
by the ladies for the sole purpose of ac-
quiring proficiency with the intrincicies
Of 900" play, that they might be able
to show their husbands "a trick or twon
and If this is so, they have succeeded
admirably. Mrs. L. w. Black was
awarded first prise by the judges of the
verse making contest, which formed a
feature OF the evening.
Mrs. Alice Childs and Mrs. Frank
Smith tied for high score and in draw
ing lots the former secured the lucky
number and the prize. z. b. KINNEY
was the recipient of the BOBBY award.
| At midnight, the tables were spread
and loaded with delicacies, which oecupi.
ed the attentions of those present for
the next hour, after which the gentle
men were asked to turn the affair into
smoker; request that was promptly
acceded to.
This entertainment, like each prece-
ding affair, surpassed all former occas
ions and was enjoyed.

EXCITING BASEBALL

As a winter resort the Carson Sink

der Captain Willard Owens at the hands
of six stalwart stickers of the st. Clair

Kansas never was famous for its crop OF

Assemblyman n. r. Fitzpatrick is
now work upon an electric light project
for Fallon, and spent the first of the
week in Reno on business connected
with this enterprise. he has already
made application to the government
authorities for sufficient water power
Mr.. Fitzpatrick took into consideration
the future rapid growth of this COM
munity, and he says that every prelim-
inery necessary has already been per-
fected.
Mr. Fitzpatrick is going to make an
effort TO secure the plant belonging to
Hon. W. w. Williams, which was used
for short time by the old Fallon COM
pany, which has now been defunct for
over year. Its insolvency came about
through the poor management and the
fact that the venture was more or less
premature.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick has not set date for
the formal opening of his electric plant
but he states that it is an assured pro-
ject and that when he offers electricity
to the local business men and residents,
that he will be prepared to Furnish both
day and night service and that the fur
nishing OF power for local use will be
feature Of his enterprise.

CARSON CITY LAND OFFICE.
Register Louis ]. cohn and Receiver fremont
Are Making a Record For Efficiency.

The average person has little concep-
tion of the great Importance the United
States Land office bears towards the de-
velopment OF this irrigation project
The Carson City land office, was in
state OF chaos for many years. Incom-
plete records we're kept and the prac-
tice of homestead filing was greatly re-
tarded by the old obsolete rulings impos-
ed. But with the increase OF the busi-
ness Of the office to the point where it
was a maximum Office, naturally it
sought better talent, and in Louis j.
Cohn, present register and Earl w.
fremont, receiver of public moneys, two
men were secured, who have succeeded
admirably in Strengthening out the affairs
OF the Office, and have placed it on a
basis, where it is now a pleasure to
transact government land business. In
this connection, it should be stated that
Messrs. Cohn and fremont, have aided
in every legitimate manner possible the
homesteader. Wherever it has been
possible for them to SO do, they have
favored the applicant for government
land, and their cooperation with the
reclamation officials has been matter
OF great satisfaction to the reclamation
people, and potent factor in the de-
velopment OF this project
The editor Of this paper has bad oc-
cason to make frequent visits to Carson
City, as a local land official. Each Wis
it sufficed to note an improvement in
the system OF the United States land
Office at Carson, until today, the busi-
ness Of the Office Is conducted strictly
according to the most approved manner,
and the office system, which has been
installed TO take the place of chaos,
makes it possible for the government
land officials, who are the subject of
this sketch, to transact promptly an
ever increasing agricultural, mineral
and timber land business.

| CHANCE FOR
HORSE SHOOTERS.

Adyices have been received at the at
torneygeneral office that the government
desires to exterminate the wild horses
in Lander county, near Austin. The
government officials there want to ar
range for a crop of federal employees to
go TO the ranges near Austin and spend
sixty days killing off the wild horses
there and they have asked the attorney
general to give an opinion as to whether
such would be violation of the state
laws. The attorney general will reply
to the effect that so long as animals not
belonging to any individual are not
killed that the government men may
have free hand in the exteminaton.
According to .the adyices it appears
that there are over 1900 wild horses on
the Toiyable, Toqima and Monitor for
ests reserves at the present time and in
addition to attracting thousands of do
mestic horses from the ranges the ami
mails also commit thousands OF dollars
worth Of damage. They feed upon the
range and also stampede across ranches
doing great damage. The ranchers and
stoekmen near Austin have made fire.
quent complaints in regard to the mat
ter and they finally appealed to the fed
eral government to assist them in re-
pelling the wild invaders. The super
visors in charge OF the forest reserves
there immediately took the matter up
and now with permission from the state
expect TO bring the yexed problem to
successful issue.
The government officials propose that
the ranches and stockman in Lander
county shall take thirty days in which
to confine all their stock in enclosures
and then the following sixty days will
be devoted to the slaughter OF wild
horses. The ranchers in the neighbor-
hood have agreed to the plan and are
lending the government every assistance
in the work.
The only value the wild animals have
is for their hides but owing to the fact
that the market is very low now, the
hides are worth but little.-Carson

PERCY FULLER
RETURN TO WONDER

Percy Fuller, who became involved
with the law In Fallon, and sojourned
in the bastile there for few days, is
back in Wonder, enjoying the liberty
obtained by putting up $500 bail. This
was furnished by his brother. Judge
Ross, of Wonder, made long argu-
meat last week on behalf of Percy, and
1t is believed that at least one of the
charges against the latter will be dis
missed. There are two of these. The
first was made by Earl Allen, formerly
OF Wonder, who says that Percy failed
to turn over $75 which was sent to him
by R. G. Cople. Percy says that he
had an attorneys lien ON this SIS;
hence he retained it. The other charge
is that of John Peterson, of Wonder,
who maintains that he gave Percy 5000
to buy Hidden Treasure stock, and that
afterwards he saw neither the stock or
the money. Percy says that he gave
Peterson his note for the 5000. The
sitution seems to be that if the plaintiffs
have grounds for action against Fuller,
these should be civil suits and not
criminal charges.-Wonder New.

FALLON RAILROAD BUSINESS.
Il Is Increasing So Rapidly That Help to Handle

G. l.. Noble, agent of the Southern
Pacific Company at this place, Monday
informed representative of the STAN
dard that the business of that company
was increasing so rapidly on the Fallon-
Hazen branch that the regular force at
the depot could not handle the incom-
ing merchandise and that he had been
forced to make requisition ON the audi
tors Office for permission to employ
more help about the warehouse, which
demand was granted after the auditor
had made special trip here in his pri-
yate car and convinced. himself that the
congestion was as stated. Eight cars of
merchandise were on the sidetracks at
the depot Monday being unloaded, most
of which is consigned to Fallon, but a
great proportion of which will go to
Rawhide.
Mr.. Noble also said that if the pas
senger traffic contipyas to jncrease in
the ratio that it has within the past two
weeks that an extra passenger coach
will have to be placed on this run.
Every day now the single coach is COM
iortably well filled with prospectors,
miners, investors and homesteaders, all
bent on seeking their fortunes accards
