mournful tale-Vancouver Z, Spo-

good game and tried to win it all
alone by batting two doubles and
q single in four times at bat.
Johnny Killilay started to pitch

caught a terrific drive by Flana-

of business.

the finish when Jensen cleaned the
bases, but it was no use.

FALLON, New, Aug. "A
pioneer came to this part of the
earth, back in the '70s, and, taking
small ditch out of the Truckee
river, proceeded, by irrigation, to
create an aosis in this waste OF
sagebrush, sand and rocks. He
planted poplars and laid out mead
ows, where roamed fat cattle. And
around him was the Great Amer.
lean Desert. and outside of that
the rest of the world.
A few days ago this pioneer was
called from his morning meal to
find at his front door 80 people
men, women and children. They
were smiling. and they had bas
kets. One of them acted as
spokesman.
Good morning." said the lady
spokesman. "We are your neigh.
bors, and we have come to pay you
a CALL"
The pioneer rubbed his eyes. He
had heard about the government
irrigation project He had known,
in a general way, about settlers
coming in to settle on the lands.
But he had not taken kindly to
either the government or it's set
tiers. He liked things as they
were. He liked the days when the
overland trail wound in here from
Deaths Valley; and he remember
ed the shallow graves which lined
that trail. All this new dividing
up of the country into little farms
and selling them to city people
he had no use for it.
$50 we've brought our lunch
baskets with u.s." continued the
lady spokesman, land we are 60
ing to stay all day.
The pioneer did not like the
basket party; not at first. This
return for his lack of hospitality
to his new ntighbors was too sug-
gestive Of Goals of fire on his head.
But he gradually thawed and in
the end was obliged to admit that
his new neighbors were pretty
good folks.
The incident serves to illustrate
how communities spring up in gov
eminent irrigation districts. The
pioneer had been surrounded by
the Truckee- Carson project. Here
there are 400 families on the
ground and 500 to 1000 farms
awaiting settlers.
But take this town of Fallon.
It's previous name was Jim
Town"-because Jim had trad
| ing post where the Piutes sold
their woven water bottles for rum
and calico.
Four years ago Fallon (Jim
TOWN. had 16 people. Today it has
about 1900. 1t has four churches, 16
saloons, three hotels, two lodging
houses, school buildings costing
SAC, 900, a roller skating rink. a
drug store. two general stores. two
banks, livery, an automobile gar
age and about 16 good-sized touring
cars.
This has all come since the open
| ing of the irrigation lands. three
years ago. And the town will con-
tinue to grow as the remainder OF
the lands are taken up and re-
duced to cultivation.

HEARD ON THE BOURsE.

Joseph-Union is very good. There
Is certain to be a comparatively large
advance. Distinctive Improvement may
be looked for.
Bache-The action of Union seems
to US to indicate bullish manipulation
and we would not be surprised to see
higher prices very soon.
Mille-We repeat our views that the
market has considerable things in store
for it.
White we believe the bulge in
wheat ended yesterday and favor sales
Of the new crop deliveries at present
levels.
Bartlett-We look for falling off
in the current movement by the end of
the week. Stocks corn everywhere are
light
Pringle-we look for higher prices
for July wheat and advise buying it.
We expect to see it pull further away
from the September also.
Ware & Leland-It is possible that
small declines may appear but the
situation is strong one and we would
favor buying July and September
wheat on weak spots.
Barrell-We continue to favor the
long side of wheat on all good breaks
At the same time we think it advis-
able to accept good profits when of
fered as there is nothing in the situa-
ton at the moment to warrant any
decided change in values.
Financial Bureau-Latest informa-
ton on Union Pacific and Reading is
bullishly aggressive. We continue to
regard Atchison, Southern Pacific and
Northern Pacific as purchases when
ever heavy. Brit. is being accumulated
for a rise later and we would be gov
erned accordingly. The Pennsylvania
! bond issue and dividend reduction have
| been largely discounted, and while
temporary recognition may be taken
there Of by moderate drop, in such
extent purchases for turns ought to be
profitable.
| Miller-Feature so far has been buy
| ing of steel by a lower Broadway
house often prominent in Rdg. Some
scattered buying of stocks on orders
from abroad. Arbitrage houses sold
little at the opening. we look for
much higher prices for Union. Some
discussion about the Norfolk dividend
meeting tomorrow. The reduction, If
there is one, has long since been dis
counted. Buy Union Pacific for much
| higher prices.
