TRACTION ENGINE A SUCCESS
Senator Douglass New Cater
pillar Traction A Big
Success.

Senator r. L. Douglass new cater
pillar traction engine came putting into
town Tuesday afternoon with load of
barley, which weighed 35,S46 pounds,
and was brought in from the Island
Ranch at rate of speed slightly In
excess of four miles per hour. Because
of the bad, icy roads the ordinary
speed was diminished by at least two
miles per hour as the engine is de-
signed to make at least six miles per
hour under a maximum load, which is
given at twenty-five tons. The value
of the fuel consumed by the engine In
traversing the eight miles between
here and the Island ranch aggregated
s1.70, and the return trip costing but
less than half this sum, it will be read
lily seen what wonderdful utility this
new traction engine really is.
1t works in all kinds of weather, over
all kinds of roads and is complete
success. Bob's engine recently made
the run from here to he Island ranch
without load in an hour and ten
minutes, which certainly is some speed
for so ungainly contrivance.

WOODMAN LODGE pRoSPERs
Big Banquet Planned For JAM
uary 18th. New Mem
bers Added.

Lahontan Camp, NJ. w. A. have a
big program on for their next regular
meeting to be held Saturday evening,
January IA. Inasmuch as eight candi-
dates are awaiting the mysteries of the
order, the degree team has a big con-
tract on its hands. H. H. Kyle, the
hustling deputy, says that this number
will be added to by four before it is too
late to get the additional ones in the
class. The lodge hopes to increase its
membership to sixty very soon SO
that the local camp dues can be re-
duced to as low as any in the country.
By this means it is hoped that all resi-
dent Woodmen having cards elsewhere,
will transfer to the local organization.
By everyone falling into line, it would
raise the local camp membership to
over one hundred and the monthly camp
dues to twenty-five cents per month.
After the adoption of the candidates
at the meeting in January, the new
officers will be installed and ct eleven
P. NJ, banquet will be spread at the
Overland hotel. This, it is claimed,
will be an elaborate affair. Visiting
members who wish to have seats at the
banquet as well as friends of the order
should hand in their names to the COM
mittee, which is composed of H. H.
Kyle, F. F. kim and J. Poultney or to
any Woodman, who will see that it is
remembered in the banquet pot. A.
w. Newlands, the photographer, will
be present and will take a fiashlight
of the assemblage seated around the
festal boards.

Prohibition Having Little Effect On
Beer.

According to table sent out by the
United States Brewers Association,
complied from Internal Revenue re-
ports, the production of 'fermented
liquors. in California decreased to the
extent of 1888 barrels in the twelve
months ending with July last. The
decrease, however, was only 4.63 per
cent frem the production of the preced
ing fiscal year, which was 1,245, 533
barrels.
Only seven States show an increase
and the net decrease in the United
States is about per cent. But this
falling off is attributed by the brew :
ers to industrial conditions rather than
to no-saloon or prohibitory legislation
as there was marked decrease in Penn
sylyania and other States having little,
or no "dry" territory.
With total production of over &c.
600, 900 barrels in twelve months--a de-
cline of but 2,444, 900 barrels compared
with the year 1908, of which only
1000, 900 barrels is credited to prohibi-
tion-the brewers have seemingly lit
tie cause for alarm. The figures show
the decrease in local option States to
vary from 229 in Connecticut to 7.79
in Ohio, which is far from great.
Evidently dry" territory is not
necessarily beerless. Where there are
no saloons, drug stores abound and
grocers do a roaring family trade in
bottled goods. Bee.

Pinchot In An Unenviable Light.

Forester Clifford Pinchot is said to be
responsible for the plan now being
operated successfully by timbermen in
the West, scheme which is making
speculation in timber land what col
loquially would be called ''cinch'
which renders no compensation to the
Government but adds materially to the
Federal expenditures.
So far, those who have profted by the
scheme are apparently such as have
some exceptional influence with Federal
officials and have received inside infor-
nation. The advantage of the plan is
that it requires only $40 in actual cash.
the Government paying all the rest,
and the returns will run into the tbous-
ands.
The scheme started when Clifford
Pinchot induced the then Secretary of
the Interior, James r. Garfield, to
promulgate the regulation that there
after timber londs could be taken up
only under Government land laws on the
basis of compensation for the timber
found actually to assist such claims.

CITY COUNCIL HAS MEETING
Has Liquor Traffic On The
Carpet And Receives
Protests.

The stormiest session in the annals of
council meetings was held Tuesday even
ing, when the saloon men appeared
enmasse and protested against the pro-
visions of the new saloon ordinance un-
der which all new licenses must be is
sued. Chief among the retailers
requests was the matter of re-
ducing the quarterly license demanded
from $45. 90 per quarter to around $50. 90,
which seems to be the sum, agreeable
to most of the saloonmen. Their petit
tion to this effect was taken under adj
visement.
One Mason applied for a license to
conduct saloon in the Hattie Bernard
resort, which he stated he contemplated
buying. His application was also taken
under advisement. despite his asser-
tion that he could furnish the best of
references to prove he is man Of high
personal character and integrity.
Altogether, nine bars now operate in
the City of Fallon. OF this number,
seven have already applied for licenses
under the provisions of the new ordi-
nance. One of the chief difficulties,
from the saloonman's viewpoint is the
classification of '.drunkard," under
the terms of the new ordinance. The
city council will likely adopt method
in handling the habitual drunkard phase
of the situation that will exempt the
local saloon men from using preroga-
tive, and common drunkards will be
classified by the council upon proper
showing from interested parties.

INTERSTATE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Prohibition Movement Aided By
National Statute Now
In Force.

On and after the first of next week,
the importation of liqnor into prohibit
ion states mnst be carried on openly
and above board. No longer may the
user of whiskey, wine or beer import
for his own use any of these drinkables
unless the package in which they are
shipped is plainly marked on the cover,
showing the nature and extent of the
LIQUID contents. This is one of the re-
auirements of the new interstate liquor
law, which was incorporated in the
penal code passed at the last regular
congress.
This new law is the first fruit of the
long-continued campaign waged by
the Prohbitionists before Congress. 1t
is not all that they asked, but they re-
gard it as great victory, as they are
confident that the new enactment will
aid materially all dry" states in the
enforcement of their local liquor laws.
1t will enable the prohibition states to
keep track of all liquor imported from
another state or from abroad, and in
that way render it easier to check the
sale of intoxicants in communities
where such traffic is unlawful.
Sections 23s, 239 and 240 of the penal
CODE which becomes effective on the
first of January, impose new restric-
tions upon the interstate shipment of
liquor, and while applicable to ship
ments from any state or territory to
any other state or territory, or from a
foreign country to any state or terri
rory, are chiefly important as they bear
upon shipments into prohibition states.
Not only do these sections of the code
require the plain marking of packages
containing liquor but they put stop to
the practice of express and freight
agents acting as collectors for liquor
dealers. and also put stop to anony-
nous shipments and do away with the
c. o. u. liquor traffic, all of which
practices have been effective barriers
to the successful enforcement of state
prohibition laws.
Under the terms Of Section 240 of the
code, "any package containing any
spirituous, vinous, matted, fermented
or other intoxicating liquor of any kind"
must be plainly labeled on the outside
cover so as to show the name of the
consignee, the nature of its contents
and the quantity contained therein.
Any person who knowingly ships liquor
from one state to another and fails to
comply with this requirement shall be
subject to fine of not more than $4,000
and liquor shipped in violation of this
section shall be forfeited to the United
States, and may be seized and con-
demned by the Federal authorities.

Concerning the New Southern Pacific

We are also reliably informed that
additions will be made to the round
house and machine shops here in the
near future. The first oil burning

and the lone valley and has grade
If less than two per cent. Another
survey is being run over the same pro-
posed route by the corps of surveyors
now engaged in work on the narrow
gauge in the White Mountains, as
their labors are completed there. II

Sugar Factory Matter Resting.

Nothing more has been learned from
the sugar beet project as we go to
press. AS matters stand affairs are
very much up to the railroad company,
whose disposition of the request for
spur building is being anxiously awaited.
Unless the company takes the matter
out of the usual rut that characthrizes
railroad development, it is feared that
crop cannot be handled during the
coming season. This is imperative and
unless it can be done, in all probability
those behind the project will abandon it.
Fallon and all Churchill county, and
the entire state as well, need a beet
sugar factory. The consumption with
in our borders of this staple is sufficient
to furnish an ample home market and
local people want to be the pioneers in
beet raising. They have the call on
the idea from the viewpoints of loca-
tion and soil adaptibility and are will
ing to make heroic sacrifices to attain
the end.

Cooks Arctic Fake.

1t is believed that DR.. Cook made
over 800, 600 by his Arctic humbug. IT
Is said that the New York Herald paid
him SO, 900 for his first story, cabled on
September 1st, or at the rate of about
dollar word. Later that paper is
reported to have paid him $25, 900 for
his detailed narrative, which was pub
lished in installments, and was highly
interesting.
For two lectures in st. Louis the in
trepid explorer of credulous human
nature obtained $14, 900, and for about
thirty others he is supposed to have
received an average of $1,000 each.
Just before leaving New York for
Europe Cook drew $4,000 in cash from
New York trust company, which in-
dicates that he contemplated a consid-
cradle sojourn abroad.-Bee.

FOR A REAL ONION SECTION
Come Down Churchill Way And
See The Crops Raised
Here.

The Reno Journal reports a yield of
onions on thirty acre tract of Washoe
county land of around eleven tons to
the acre. Churchill county lands have
surpassed this yield times without
number In fact Ten or eleven tons of
onions per acre is but around one-half
of the maximum yields reported from
our most successful growers, and the
quality of Churchill county onions will
not brook comparison, for the local
product is conceded to be among the
finest raised anywhere.
If the Journal really wants instances
of real onion growing, it will have to
come to this valley, for here we have
the most ideal conditions for onion cul-
ture that must in the end make of this
valley an onion district as widely
known for its excellence and prolific
crops as is the Greely, Colorado, section
for its potatoes or the Rocky Ford dis
trict for its melons.
And while we are on this subject, it
is well to state that this is not one
crop or a. dozen crop section. The
scope of products admirably adapted to
this valley is so wide that it includes
most everything that can be grown in
temperate climate. Fruits of all
kinds, berries, grains, forage crops.
ROOT vegetables and garden truck all
do well and are all represented in small
measure in this county's annual product.

FUEL FAMINE CONFRONTS US
Unless Coal Is Forwarded This
Way Suffering May
Result.

Fallon is in the throes of another
fuel famine. OF our three dealers, but
one had supply on hand the first of
this week and the arbitrary stand of
the coal companies does not pressage
an early compliance with local requests
for fuel. Two Of our dealers have made
repeated efforts to secure shipments
and have them headed Fallon way, but
to no avail In the meantime, Truckee
pine wood continues to come to town
in carload lots, which together with our
ordinary supply of cottonwood may suf-
fee unless our cold spell continues over
a longer period than is anticipated. To
make the situation worse, those of our
local residents who have timber on their
places failed to cut cordwood dur
ing the past season for reasons that
are not apparent to the ordinary. OBJ
server, unless they are holding for a
higher market.
Three years ago famine occurred in
the state and scarcely town but was
affected by the shortage. In this place,
valuable lumber was burned and in the
southern mining camps, houses, were
even torn down and converted into fuel
The state railroad commission made eff
forts along in the early fall to prevent
recurrence of those times, but if
our present winter weather continues
for month longer, we are very likely
to witness repetition of the conditions
of l906-07.
