Before several hundred men and wo-

Charles j. Bonaparte. president of the
National Municipal league, was one of
the principal speakers ut the joint con-

in the course of his address for the Sc

genuinely represent the majority of
the voters in either party, i'll which he
said:
II would have every voter appearing
on the registration lists to be affiliated
with a political party given 4 blank

was more than emphatic in declaring
that the miners must be forced to use

More Cattle Being Fed Here.
December 3, 1909.

The cattlemen of this part of the
state are anticipating a hard winter.
As proof of this belief on their part
several of the leading owners of stock
cattle have sought out this valley as a
feeding point, while still others are
preparing to desert the range and come
here for our alfalfa hay. Pat Welsh,
the Reese river cattleman, arrived in
the valley Sunday with band of eight
hundred head of stock cattle, part of
which he will feed at the Thomas Dolf
ranch, where he has purchased four
hundred tons of hay. paying 81 therefor,
while another portion of his band will
be fed at the Lem Allen Sr. ranch,
where he also purchased hay to the
amount of three hundred tons, paying
a like figure.
r. H. Cowles, the Wadsworth cattle
man came over from the Olinghouse
range Sunday with bunch of three
hundred head, which he is feeding at
the E. s. Hartman ranch above Leet-
vile, where he purchased Mr.. Harri-
mans surplus hay, amounting to three
hundred tons, paying $3.50 per ton
for the commodity.

And This Was Love.

A young man and young woman
lean over the front gate. They are
lovers. 1t is moonlight. He is 10th
to leave, as the parting is the last. He
is about to 60 away. She is reluctant
to see him depart. They swing on the
gate.
II SHALL never forget you, he says,
and if death should claim me, my last
thoughts will be of you.,,
''I'll be true to you," she sobs. "T'l
never see anybody else or love them as
long as l live" They parted.
Six years later he returns His
sweetheart of former years has mar
ried. They meet at party. She has
changed greatly; between the dances
the recognition takes place.
LET me see," she muses., with her
fan beating a tattoo on her pretty
hand, twas it you or your brother who
was my old sweetheart"
"Really l don't know" he says,
probably my father. Tit Bits.

District Freight and Passenger Agent
Here.

District Freight and Passenger
Agent Joseph F. Hixson was in Fallon
Friday. accompanied by his assistant
A. H. Petit and William H. Wood,
travelling freight agent of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway. Mr..
Hixson lately succeeded E. w. Clapp,
as the Southern Pacific's Nevada repre-
sentative and this visit was the first to
this section. He is seeking to famil-
iarize himself with his territory and its
needs and is very pleasant gentleman
to meet, a thorough railroad man and a
worthy successor of Mr.. Clapp, in
whom the people of this section had
come to have great confidence for his
fair and earnest efforts on behalf of
the projects development.
Mr.. Hixson expressed great surprise
at this valleys resorces and unless this
paper misses its guess, he is going to
exercise every legitimate endeavor
within his province to further our in
trests.

Would Rather Be a Young Mans
Slave, Etc.

Mrs. Jennie o. Watson for many
years housekeeper for Thomas Toomey,
deceased, who is said to have
left Falon about thre e
months ago in company with William
Feeney, young man her junior by
more than thirty years, is seriously i'll
at Seattle hospital and penniless. Her
physician telegraphed at her instruct
ion to local parties Monday, asking for
funds, with which to defray her hos
pital expenses. Mrs. Watson is known
to have had around four thousand dollars
in her possession at the time of leaving
here and it is presumed locally that
Feeney succeeded in separating her
from her money. She has an additional
three thousand dollars due her from
the Toomey estate, which will be paid
whenever sufficient property is sold by
court order to allow the payment of the
remainder of the indebtedness standing
against the estate.
The old saw that an cold fool is the
worst fool of all" certainly holds good
in Mrs. Watson's instance. A conpe-
tence sufficient to keep her through the
remainder of her allotted years was in
her possession, and would doubtless
have sufficed had she not become
enamored of the dashing young Irish
man, who though young in years, is of
expensive habits.

MORE LAND TO Be LEASED
A Large Body of Pasture And
Grain Land To Be Leased
Soon.

The local reclamation officials are
advertising for bids for the leasing of
around ten thousand acres of the pas
ture lands surrounding the Lower Sink.
The lands to be leased commence at a
point about eight miles east of Fallon
near the c. E. Mills ranch and extend
to Saltwater in one direction and
northeast to the Lower Sink in the
other. Contiguous to the lands to be
leased is large acreage belonging to
the railroad company, which are also
available for leasing as the railroad
has signifed its willingness to let its
lands go for the same figures submitted
for the government lands.
The sole term of lease will be one
year, condition imposed by the rail-
road company, which will not lease for
longer period. In addition to the
pasturage available on the lands offered
for lease is a considerable acreage,
which should grow grain, although
Project Engineer Thomas H. Means
states that no water will be available
in the Lower Sink district for irriga-
tion. In many instances, however, the
extensive subbing of the water will
make possible the growing of grain
crops without irrigation.

ADDING WEALTH TO Nation
Reclamation Program Is AL.
ready Returning Sub
stantial Increment.

Fifteen millions of dollars and up
wards have been added to the wealth of
the West through the products of the
soil on Reclamation Service works.
This does not take into account, of
course, the enormous increment to land
values which has been the direct result
of reclamation.
The year 1909 is really the first in
which notable returns have been made.
IL is now seven years since the reclama-
tion act was passed. During this in
terval surveys and examinations have
been carried on throughout the western
half of the United States. Large pro-
jects have been laid out and the most
important structures have been built
to point where 768. 600 acres have been
supplied with water or brought to a
condition where settlers, by proper ap-
plication to the Land Office, can imme-
diately take the water to their fields.
The work is much in advance of the
needs of the people, for out of this 1885,
900 acres applications for water rights
have been received for only 425, 900
acres, leaving 343. 900 with water ready
for the pillow. The great problem,
therefore, is no longer that of engineer
ing, but how to put this land into the
hands of the men who will Immediately
utilize it for crop production. The ap-
proximate investment in this 343, 900
acres, which is now standing idle, is a
little over $4,000, 600, SO that in one
sense these 1000. 900 are locked up
until the farmer makes application for
the water and returns to the Govern
ment his proportionale share of the
money which has been invested in this
reclamation work.
A considerable portion Of this irri-
gable land is embraced in four projects
now completed in Montana, Wyoming
and Nevada. On other projects the
farmers, owing to lack of funds, search
ty of labor and other conditions have
not been able to prepare all OF their
land for water, and thousands OF acres
were for this reason unproductive this
season.
The Chief Engineer of the Reclama-
tion Service, now in the field, calls at
tention to these important matters, but
predicts that with the excellent har-
vests secured from the irrigated lands
this year it will not be many months
before the areas utilized will be
taken up and put in crops. The oppor-
tunities for homemakers on a number
of these projects are SO attractive and
the terms under which these lands are
disposed of SO reasonable that there is
every reason to expect heavy rush of
homeseekers to take up these farms be-
fore the beginning of the next crop
season.

COUNTY TAX ROLL REDUCED
By Nearly One Million Dollars
Over What Ii Was Pre-
sumed To Be.

The old, terse saying The best laid
plans of mice and men, etc." will go
down through time, proving Bobby
Burns philosopher as well
as poet of the first magni-
tude. And now we have in this county
a condition testifying to the truth of
the Scotch poets eighteenth century
injunction. 1t all came about in this
wise: The county's 1909 tax roll was
prepared in deuce of a hurry. The
figures were added under high pressure
and the result of the county's total
valuation was swelled by million
dollars in round numbers. We all
exulted, which was quite natural, for
an increase of twenty-five per cent in
a county's valuation, is something not
to be sneezed at.
But our gloating was destined to be
short lived, for when the Southern
Pacific railroad company's agents
perused its assessment they found a
trifle of nine hundred thousand acres,
of an assessable valuation of one dollar
per, placed to its ownership, over
and above the amount which the
county's land plats show it TO own. 1t
was quite natural that the company
should object. Of course, 1t paid taxes
on only the correct amount, which re-
duced the county's assessment nine
hundred thousand dollars or thereabouts.
In the meantime. our county's execu-
tive board, the county commissioners,
met as board of equalization, and
with the interests of the taxpayers in
mind, reduced the original tax levy
from $40 to 500, which rate, it was
figured, would provide ample funds for
the county's conduct throughout the
ensuing year. The aportionments were
made and the rate definitely estab-
lished. As result of the error in the
assessment, the fund will be short
around $4,000 over the original esti-
mate, which sum will have to be
borrowed under the emergency borrow
ing act, before another tax levy will be
possible.
In summing up the matter, 1t would
be hard TO attach blame to any par
ticular person. The error was clerical
and was committed by Assessor
Wightman's deputy, employed to copy
the assessments and add them. In
totaling the railroads lands situate in
this county and their values, the deputy
double added, including in the total,
each pages result and adding each
page and the preceding one as well, as
he went along, thus creating the error
above mentioned.
Although the error was created by
his duputy, Mr.. Wightman frankly
assumes the blame for the affair and
says he does not believe the county
will be the loser as result of the mis-
take, for he believes that we can better
afford to pay interest in these times of
depression than the actual cash and
that with the coming of good times,
which is inevitable, the slight extra
expenses incurred in borrowing under
the emergency clause, will not be
noticed. And then he calls attention
to the fact that new property is gradu'
ally coming in which will pay its pro
rata for county expenses.
