A VERY DISASTROUS BLAZE
Tenant House Owned by c. E.
Coe Destroyed by Fire
Tuesday Evening.

Tuesday evening shortly after s o.
clock the Fallon fire department were
called out on the double qnick.
The tenant house owned by Chas. K.
Coe and next door to his own dwelling
was mass of flames before the alarm
cou d be sounded. The house was oc-
cupied by Gordon Staley clerk at the
Peoples Store, and wife, and Joe
Burns, AMI wife, the former employed

roaring fire in the kitchen, went into
the dining room and closed the door.

the partition. Like flash the whole
interior was ignited. Only one trunk
Jut of the entire contents was saved.
Mr.. Burns was absent on hunt but
9th his wife anl Mrs. Staley were at
nome.
The residence of Mr.. Coe was only
about so feet from that of his tenant
house. A hard and valiant fight by
the department and citizens contrived
tosave this property. The windows
we're broken by the heat and the siding
was charred half through. This was
the first fire that the ladders came into
play. But for them the place would

many valuable oil paintings by Mrs.
Coe, were removed in haste and Mr..
Coe stated to the STANDARD that prac.
tically no damage was done in the re.
noval. The loss on his tenant is about
two thirds covered by insurance and
the one he lives in is totally covered.
The Auto Livery Company should be
given credit for the pnblic spirit made
manifest by always having en- auto
Johnny ny-on-the-spot to hsul the fire ap-
paratus, thus gaining much time.

eral, and will see, so far as | am
able, that such ordinances are
enforced.
That | am in favor of bond
ing the city in the sum of $50, 600
for the purpose of installing a
water system and a lighting
plant, owned and controlled by
the Town of Fallon. That such
Indebtedness shall be used to
procure an adequate service, and
| believe that in putting in these
systems. preparations should be
made for the accommodation of
a population of at least 1000
people.
Il believe that concessions can
be secured from the government
whereby we, as an Incorporated
city, will be allowed to harness
the great water power a mile or
so up the canal, thus procuring
for ourselves an economical and
lasting Lighting system.
"As for a system of water
supply the details can be arrang-
ed later, but | will work to that
end.
Il am not in favor of bonding
the city for a sewerage system,
as ! believe such an expenditure
would not be in keeping with
present affairs. | advocate the
vacuum tank system, each block
to have its own cesspool. Such
systems were used extensively in
Denver, Colo. San Jose, Calf,
and many of the coast towns be-
fore sewerage systems came in
to extensive use. These re my
principles and If elected | shall
endeavor to carry them out. y

SECURE SPECIAL HAY RATE
Work of Truckee-Carson Farm
ers Association Bringing
Good Results

Early in the spring the Truckee-Car-
son Farmers Association appointed
special committee to take up with the
Southern Pacific authorities the ques-
tion of reducing the freight rates on
hay, grain, potatoes and other products
of this valley likely to be shipped
to the coast.
Special freight agent Mr.. Petit made
trip to Fallon as a result of these nego-
tiations and gave assurance that rates
would be published making it possible
for the farmers of this valley to ship
their products to the coast in competi-
tion with others situated in other
agricultural districts.
The first fruits of this movement of
the farmers association have been
gained, as the Southern Pacific has pub
lished a rate of S4.60 per ton on hay to
San Francisco and Sacramento river
points. Hay is selling at SIS to S18 a
ton in San Francisco. 1t would appear
that we of the Carson Sink might con-
tinue to sell alfalfa hay at $500 net IN
the stack by availing ourselves of this
low rate to the coast.
A member of the Farmers AS
sociation committee was in the Office of
e. W. Clapp, District Freight and Pas.
senger Agent, at Reno last Thursday
and was shown letter from the Gen.
sral Freight department in which ths
rate on potatoes to the coast was prsc.
tically promised.
This is is one of the lines of activity
in which the Truckee-Carson Farmers
Association may do great deal of
good for this valley and we hope to see
this organization continue this good
work.
