NO FENCE LAW is
SOUGHT BY KOMESTEADERS

L. w. Burr returned Saturday from
Carson City, where he spent a week in
the interests of a no fence law. He drew
up proposed measure, which he asked
Governor Sparks to include in his next
message to the legislature. MIR. Burr
stated to this paper that he did not
think that tho bill, would become law
during the present session.
As given us by the author, the bill has
to do with stock running at large
and making the owner of the stock liza
BILE for all damages inflicted by loose
stock. The bill provides that the terri
tory affected shall be confined TO the
Withdrawals in the state OF Nevada of
lands for reclamation projects, and is
aimed to save the homesteader fencing
expense.
The bill was fathered by the Truekee-
Carson Farmers Association and the
efforts of the association will be respon-
sible for the success of the SCENE ii it is
invoked as a law.
1t is pointed out that more than three
hundred and fifty homesteaders will be
saved sums averaging $3.50 each, which
taken in their aggregate amounts to a
very considerable sum.

AN INTENSIFIED
FARMING SCHEME.

DR.. A. II. Heppner, owner OF one of
the very finest ranches in Churchill
county, purposes TO make domonstra-
tion during the coming year in intensi-
fled farming, and will have the co-opera-
tion of the agricultural department in
his work. DR.. Heppner, came into
Churchill county year ago and during
the season just past made demonstra-
ton of truck raising. Potatoes and
other household necessities were raised
in abundance and as they were market
ed the doctors bank account grew until
we were all green with envy. His pota-
toe crop, raised from a few acres, broaght
him returns which computed in actual
figures, would seem out of all reason
II his new project turns outassuceess-
ful as did his potatoe venture, it must
be an unqualified success.
Dr. Heppner recently wrote to sena-
tor Newlands regarding the undertaking
and the following letter shows the ap-
probation OF Nevada's senior senator OF
the proposed intensified farming scheme
DIR. A. II. Heppner,
Fallon, Nevada.
My dear Doctor:-
| received your letter regarding
your purpose OF making a demonstra-
ton in intensified farming. have re-
ferred your letter 70 the Agricultural
Department and hope to soon hear from
it. 1t seems to me that the work that
you have cut out is very public spirit
ed work and that it ought to be very
generously sustained by the Department.
Very sincerely yours,
FRAYcRs q. NEwLAsDs.

name is connected with many great
questions OF the day. His speech deliv
cred in December on public utilities
should be read by every voter in Nevada.
There are few matters OF direct inter-
est to Nevadans now being discussed
but the developments of the next few
weeks will be of Importance.
There has been practically no winter
yet, and visitors to the White House on
New Years day to pay the respects to
the President found the grass around
the White House as green as in May,
and one could imagine spring was in the
air, the city was never more beautiful.
One thing of direct interest to every
one in Nevada is the recent improve
ment in the financial situation. In the
east no one can realize that there has
been financial crisis. Factories are
running as before, great works of public
and private enterprises are being taken
up again vigorously and there is no
more talk OF hard times. The country
is too prosperous and too busy to be de-
pressed and as soon as the west realizes
this fact there will be no more hard
time there.

LEONARD NATIONAL BANK
TO OPEN SOON.

volney B. Leonard, cashier of the
Fairyiew Banking and Trust Company,
passed through Fallon Tuesday on his
way to Reno. We learn that Mr.. Leo
nard has completed all the necessary
prelimineries for the opening of ma
tional bank in Fallon. The United
States government bonds have been
paid for, according to our informant
and the bank charter granted. While
no date has been set by Mr.. Leonard
for the formal opening of his bank, it
will occur very soon.
We also learn that the local bank
-when opened, will have a branch in
Rawhide for the dispatch OF business in
that prosperous mining camp.

Telephone Line For Rawhide.

J. E. Hicks, superintendent of the
Fairview Telephone Company is author
ity for the statement that work COM
menced Tuesday upon the extension OF
the line into Rawhide from Fairview,
a distance OF 35 miles. The date set
by Mr.. Hicks, for the taking OF messag-
es in Rawhide, via Fallon, is Tuesday,
February 10th.
The building OF this extension means
good deal to Fallon, as the Rawhide
trade will naturally be more or less in
fluenced by telephone line.

scarlet Fever Scare in the Sclool.

Fallon's public school authorities and
pupils, suffered scare last week, when
it was discovered that several mild cas-
es of scarletina had been developed
among the children. Many of the par
ents, kept their children out OF school
for the several days following the discov-
cry, but things are about normal once
more, no new cases having developed.
Ali scholars who have been sent home
or whose parents have kept them home,

We Have Had But One cloutj Day This Winter
But Three-FoGhhs Inch of Precipitation
And No Gold Weather.

The weather observations taken al
the Truekee-C Carson experimental farm
south Of Fallon by shober J. Rogers
for the months of November, December
and up to and including the 21st OF this
month, shows the following: Mean

total precipitation, 10 inches; cleai

coldest day, 10 degrees above zero.
For December: mean temperature,

greatest daily range, 50 degrees, the
coldest day was II above zero. -
From the above figures, it will be seen
that our total precipitation for the
months of November, December and
January to date has~sAen but three
fourths Of an inch; that our coldest day
recorded was 12 degrees abtsexro. .and
thai we had but one cloudy day in the
season. If this isn't weather record
that will surpass sunny Italy, we miss
our guess. There is no climate lik,

THE VOTE OF NORTH CAROLINA.

Republicans Of this State will see
on reviewing the facts and figures of
the existing situation that the result
rests mainly with themselves. If we
have the right leadership, the ticket
of frst-class material, the platform
in keeping, and the full vote Is cast,
the verdict may be counted on with
well-founded hopefulness. North
Carolina Is a great State, and any
but the best attainable government
would cost it dear. 1t is active in
manufactures, mining, and agricul-
ture, and the diversity and rapid
growth Of its interests call for good
politics. General business policies in
this country are broadly based on
the votes of the people. and it is un-
reasonable to suppose that a State
like this will allow itself to chase
chimeras, or be deluded by a snowy,
false leadership.

DR.. Belsharp says: MANY per-
sons are acquainted with the virtues
of the hot-water bag, but sand bag
is still better. Get some clean, fine
sand and dry it thoroughly in a ket-
tie on the stove; make a bag about
eight inches square of flannel, fill it
with the dry sand, sew the opening
carefully together, and cover the
bag with cotton or linen cloth. This
will prevent the sand from sitting
out, and also enable you to heat the
bag quickly by placing it in the oven
or on the top OF the stove. After
once using this, you will never again
attempt to warm the feet or hands
OF sick person with a bottle or a
brick. The sand holds the heat for
long time, and the bag can be
tucked up to the back without hurt
ing the invalid"

1T LOOKS VERY UGLY.

Our Washington letter this week
contains a signed statement by Mr..
W. X. Biakemore. an attorney OF
Oklahoma, about Adams and his IN
dian court. II Is very pointed ana
makes things look ugly for Adams.
Mr.. BIakemore is a man OF charac-
ter and standing. After stating the
relations that existed between Ad-
ans and his and that firm OF law
vera that were awarded the big fee
of $4,000, IL states on the author
ity OF Mr. Rosenwinkle that after the
fee was paid TO Mr.. Cornish, mem
Der of the firm, that Judge Adams
wrote to them every day until a
member OF the firm drew large
sum of money and met Adams In
Memphis. and that after that he
never wrote them but one letter
and that was to send them the plans
of q new fine house he has since
built. 1t further says that the cour
was about to fix the fee for tina
firm at 100000, but inquiry wa
made and 1t was learned that Their
was only a little over $750,00O II
the treasury to the credit of the In
dams. and that then the fee was f1xet
at that amount.
For the good of the party we trus
that Mr.. Adams will be able to clea
up these very ugly and most dam
aging statements. But it will nc
do for him to try to play the mai
tyr and hide behind Taft's popular
ity any longer. He should at ono
demand a Congressional inyestigs
ton, and If he does not he will prof.
ably be Investigated anyway.

cess than it was in 1894, when we
did carry the State. And If the par
ty had leader who had the charac-

fight, and besides who at heart want
ed to carry the State, we could elect
the Governor, number of Congress
men and a majority of the Legis-

But Adams does not want such a
result. He wants to stay ahead of
