Golfers Weekly is up in the air
because democrats in congress would
levy small duty on hides. Has not
that publication yet learned that the
democratic policy is "a tariff for reve-
nue. Only?" What possible connection
is there between this excellent policy
and the outrageous protective theory
of the republicans by which trusts are
created and fostered and the people
robbed? Golfers is old enough to
have more sense. But, perchance,
there's method in its madness"

con T R ACT
For Lake TahOe's Surplus
Waters Settled.
UnduIy Alarms The Wealthy, Purposeless
ldIers Who would Rather Loaf
Than Work.

The outside press seems to have only
recently discovered the fact that the
Unite States government has effected
an agreement with the electric power
interests owning Lake Tahoe and
Truckee river rights, whereby one
surrendered rights for concessions
from the opposing side. The contro-
versy lasted throughout a period of
! several years and at different times
took the nature of litigation in the Fede-
zral courts. Some time ago the con-
tracts carrying the permanent provision
for the operation of the power develop
companies and the disposal of the
Lake Tahoe watershed waters were
signed by agents of both the power
companies and the government, the
PROCLAMATION authorities acting on be-
half of the government with proviso
that their action was subject to the
final approval of the secretary Of the
interior.
II was understood locally for some
time past that the approval Of the
contracts already signed and forwarded
to the secretary, was merely q formal
act and that it would follow at con-
venient time and that the administra-
tion favored the action of its agents
in this project in making the adjust
ment that finally settled the long
drawn out controversy.
The stories in the Examiner Of July
18th and the Journal of the following
day, are largely along sensational
line, but contain enough fact to give
them credence. They tend to throw
the government agents in very un-
enviable light and allege that the
government has in return for the
privilege of regulating the surplus
waters of Lake Tahoe, given Harmon
and his associates who comprise the
Truckee river electric companies con-
cessions including power rights along
the Truckee river and In the Lake

Hazen-FaIlon Train Somewhat Off.

Its funny thing, as things are
ordinarily reckoned that the Hazen-
Fallon train schedule is SO varying,
when the distance traversed is but
around sixty miles. This train, which
is all important to the commercial life
Of this section, now comes into Fallon
any time from one p. m. to three or four
p. m. as the case happens to be. One
local citizen thinks that the state
veterinarian might give the engine
doing service between here and Sparks
the glanders test. for it is giving signs
of an infrmity that might respond to
the agglutination test. Its a wheezy
old brute and may be windbroken.
The people of this section are not over
fastidious and do not demand double
compound locomotive for their traffic,
but they want an engine or crew or
something included in the railroad SER
vice that will make the time.
The stage running from Fallon to
Wonder, a distance of around sixty
miles. comes into town promptly at
1890. 1t makes the trip across the
sand hills, over mountains and down
through the dust of the alkall flats
with slightly varying precision into
Fallon day after day only to find its
more favored consort putting into
Fallon on tardy schedule.
If the man who established the Fallor
train schedule could see how poorly
it is followed by the company's servants,
he might be prevailed upon to revise
it in a manner that would allow the
public who use it to know at least
approximately when the train will arrive
and leave. Really it is getting to be
'ferce" to use awestern colloquailism.

The annual crop of potatoes raised
in this valley continues to grow rapidly
in size and as the quality of the product
becomes known in outside sections the
demand increases also. 1t is now q
generally admitted fact that Nevada
potatoes are superior in flavor to those
raised on the coast, which must in times
to come be our chief market. In this
section, where diversified farming must
be an ever increasing vocation, pota-
toes will in few years be very
large crop. and it is wholly within the
bounds of reason to presume that
within say two years, trainloads of
this staple product will be finding their
way to the coast markets, where to-
day the exported product is classified
by carloads.
Many thrifty Italians have in the
past few seasons demonstrated the
adaptibility of our soil to prolific potato
raising and with each year the potato
acreage will be increaed. The local
commercial club should do some adver-
tising setting forth our superior spuds.
A few good pictures developed into
good half tone pictures for wholesale
distribution would go a long way to es-
tablish reputation with the consumers
of the coast sections.

BASEBALL
FaIIon Will Play Love-
lock Sunday.
The Championship Of the State is at
Issue and Local Fans Should
Help Our Boys.

The boys from the government Office
made the trip to St. Clair Sunday.
where they met the hay tossers on
their own diamond and the St. Clair
ball team celebrated the event by bat
ting out II to seven victory. John
son and johnson the old reliable battery
of the st. Clair team turned the trick,
assisted by their team of heavy hitters
while Kent and Carpenter acted as
battey for the ditch builders.
On the same day the .Lovelocks team
met the Reno team on the home grounds
of the latter and defeated them by
scoring eight runs while Reno tardily
crossed the home plate six times. Next
Sunday the Lovelocks team will
visit Fallon and the game scheduled
for that date promises to settle the
matter of baseball supremacy in this
state decisively. These two teams
have met but once before this season
and on that occasion the Fallon boys
journeyed to Lovelocks, where they
suffered defeat by the close margin of
four to three. When it is considered
that the Fallon boys were performing
on strange ground and that their
efficiency will be greatly improved by
the advantages that always go with
playing on your home grounds among a
crowd of friendly rooters the chance Of
Fallon winning the state championship
is extremely bright.
When the Lovelocks boys come here
the local fans will have the privilege
of witnessing ball game from a
grand stand for the first time. The
baseball boys are having the local
diamond improved in various ways and
by August 10Th the diamond will be
fast and will permit of some spectacu-
lar field work. No one who knows
anything about base ball should fail to
be present on the occasion of the Love-
locks-Fallon game.
The baseball boys held a meeting
Tuesday evening, at which time the
resignation of N. r. Fitzpatrick as
manager was rendered and accepted
and Frank Carpenter was named to
succeed Mr. Fitzpatrick, who resigned
because Of business that.too him out
of town and did not allow him to give
the affairs of the club the attention de-
manded. Mr.. Carpenter is fan
through. and through, having had the
bug before he came to Fallon and will
make capable manager.
The boys have decided to give 9
baseball benefit dance Saturday even
ing to help defray the expenses Of the
game which occurs on the following
day and every dance lover should hell
the boys out. Tickets will be on sals
this afternoon at the local busines
houses SO don't fail to show your loca
patriotism by buying a ticket at least.

II. Kent Company Handles Big
Volume of Business.

In these dull times, we are likely to
allow our imaginations to run riot and
forget that while things are hardly
normal, we are still doing large
amount of business. The l. H. Kent
Company has furnished US with a
statement of the volume of business
that passed through the warehouse
department of the firm for the week
ending July 3lst. This statement
shows that the surprising total of 302,-
$50 pounds of outgoing and incoming
freight were handled last week or more
than Isl tons. This includes the ore
shipments from the Nevada Hills and
Fairview Eagle mines at Fairview,
forming altogether little more than
one half the total tonnage handled.
The balance is confined strictly to mer-
chandise handled by the Kent company
and the statement in its entirety would
denote that the Kent Company is still
one of the states largest retail firms.
|. H. Kent, manager of the company,
believes that new era of prosperity
is in store for this section and that II
will be upon us again before we know
it. He bases his calculations upon the
renewed interest taken by outside cap
ital in our mining resources and the
rapidly increasing acreage of crop pro-
ducing lands in the agricultural sections
of the county. Local firms are already
making bid for outside markets, SC
insistant that they are gaining rccog-
milton from the jobbers of farm produce.
1t appears now that local produce will
move from the valley TO consuming
sections in manner satisfactory 70
the producers of the valley. While
the movement will be necessarily slow,
still it will suffice to take the entire
surplus within the next few months.
Job lots of hay are alieady being sold
and in this connection it should be
stated that more of our surplus Of
forage products will be consumed
locally than is generally supposed.

Lady Autoists Pass Through Town.

Lady Autoists Pass Through Town.
The four ladies making the cross the
continent trip by auto, pulled into town
Tuesday shortly after noon and drove
up in front of the Hotel Churchill
where the thirty horse power Max
well touring car and the Maxwell rum
about, driven by Mr.. Shawman, the
Salt Lake agent of the Maxwell auto
car company, attracted considerable
attention. The ladies comprising the
party are: Mrs. J. r. Ramsey, driver,
Mrs. N. R. Powell. Mrs. w. Atwood,
and Miss H. Johns. They left Hacken-
sack, New Jersey, June 9th, and ex-
pected to arrive in San Francisco Aug
ust lst, but series of cloud bursts,
floods and hard luck in general pur-
sued them and they came into Fallor
about week later than the schedule
originally planned. called for.
The ladies' made the trip from New
York City to Salt Lake City unaccom-
panied, save by local autoists, who
sometimes fell in with them and made
life more bearable by accompanying
them through the barren wastes Of
western Nebraska and Wyoming.
They stated that they thought when
they struck Wyoming that desolation
in it's worst form had been encountered
but that certain stretches Of Nevada
were infinitely worse. Mondays run
totaled 10S miles and took them from .
point near Austin to Rawhide, where
Monday night was spent. Included In
this run were good many wasted
miles by reason Of losing the correct
road repeatedly. They say that Fallon
Is the prettiest spot encountered in
Nevada-a veritable oasis and they
evinced great pleasure at being in
fertile section with its landscape Of
green.
The car driven by the ladies' seemed
to be in good condition. About the on
ly paraphernalia visible was hat pin,
a box of talcum powder, a water bot
tie, and little brown Jug" The lat
ter contained machine oil.
The party of ladies accompanied by
Mr.. Shawman, left Fallon about four
o'clock and expected to arrive in Reno
on the evening of the same day, where
they were met by the San Francisco
representative of the Maxwell Com
pany who piloted them across the ST.
erras. From San Francisco the ladies'
expect to go south to Los Angeles and
San Diego, after which the autos will
be placed on board the cars and the
trip east will be made in Pullman.
The ladies seemed to think while here
that they had quite enough of cross
the continent autoing aud were Drowned
to point that should satisfy the most
exacting.
