ROBERT f.. PEARY'S
FIRST MAGAZINE TALE

Commander Robert f. Pearys
much-heralded story of his conquest
OF the north pole begins in the jan
uary number of Ilampton's magazine,
which is just out. Although Com
mander Peary does not refer to the
polar controversy, there are in the
article many points which have a
bearing upon his rivals claims.
Peary makes it plain in his first
article that his final attainment of
the boreal center was made possible
only by ,Ae former failures of his
twenty-three years of arctic work
and the lessons he learned thereby.
1T was experience which permit
ted the discovery of the pole-that,
and persistence, he writes. Prior to
my expedition of 1866. even with
all my experience, | had not the nee
essary knowledge of conditions in
the central Polar sea. The mechan-
ism with which | achieved my pur-
pose was deliberately prepared, with
every part adjusted to every other
part, and every detail had been test
ed on previous expeditions. The de-
signs for this expedition may not
improperly be called a work of me-
chanical engineering, in which the
component fractions were human
brains and bodies. dogs. sledges, ice
craft, Arctic experience. and perish
able supplies. with the indomitabie
will of man for driving power.
Besides experience. Peary shows,
there were other imnortant things
sunpies and money. For the first time
one can learn what il meant in this
to
Pearv states that when he began
preparations for this last and eighth
tourney the Peary Arctic club had
the Roosevelt. which had cost $780,
600. Repairs were necessary at an
additional expenditure of $4,000.
There were then needed the liberal
quantities of supplies necessary for
Arctic work. which must run into the
thousands. A few of the items men
toned by Peary are: Flour. 5000
mounds. coffee. 900 pounds; tea
500 pounds: sugar, 10000 pounds; ;
kerosene. $500 gallons; bacon. 1000
pounds; biscuit. 1000 pounds; con-
densed milk. 100 cases; pemmican,
10000 pounds dried fish, 1000
mounds. smoking tobacco. 1,ooo
Here. too. he makes clear that
only experience taught him what was
needed. He says: The supplies
for the expedition were abundant III

iety. Years of experience mad given
me the knowledge of exactly VIVA,

Local Nine Defeated.

st. Clair came to Fallon Sunday and
cleaned up the local team of ball play
ers by the score of 10 to 6. The Fall
Ion boys claimed that they had stage
fright and the score would in measure
substantiate this claim. The game
was well played and both teams showed
ability in playing the national game.
The batteries were: johnson and John
son for ST. Clair and Kent and Carpen-
ter and Sanford for Fallon.
Word has been received from Sparks
that team representing the railroad
town will be here for the game scheduled
for the Fifth of July and unless the
local lads show vastly better form than
has been displayed lately they are like
ly to receive trimming. All our boys
need is improvement in their team work
to be invincible and it behooves them to
get busy from this time on, if their
colors are not to be lowered by the
Sparks aggregation,

French-Rochr

If one guesses often enough, he
sure to guess correctly, For two weeks
all Fallon has been guessing and wager
ing that lie Roy N. French was going
to desert the bachelorship and haul
down his colors. AS long as there are
sweet creatures in the world the public
has right to hazard guees and feel
sure that fate would not be blind but
follow the heart desired guess, and
French, he smiled and smiled and smiled,
and Miss Florence Roche, oh! she was
making an annual visit to city relatives.
A little item in the San Francisco
Chronicle tells the tale. On Monday
June 2lst, at ST. Ratrick' $ Church, San
Francisco, Rev. Father Rogers officiat-
ing, Miss Florence Roche became Mrs.
lie Roy French; Mr.. and Mrs. William
c. Grimes and Eugene Roche were
present.
Mr.. and Mrs. French are now touring
Southern California on their honeymoon
and after an absence of about ten days
will return to Fallon where they will
make their future home.
Mr.. French is one of Fallon's leading
attorneys, having been resident of
this town for about two years where
he has built up lucrative practice in
his chosen profession.
The bride is niece of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. c. Grimes, and is one of Churchill
county's prettiest and most popular
young ladies.
The contracting partie have legion
of friends here with whom the Standard
unites in wishing the happy young
couple long and happy life.

NEW ADVERTISING MATTER
Sample Proof Sheets Received
of Truckee-Carson
Circular.

Project Engineer Thomas II. Means
received last week sample proof sheets
of the new Truckee-C Carson project
circular, which is being issued by the
department. 1t is understood that the
new circular will be ready for distribu-
tion this week. In all 20, 900 were printed
in the government printing office, at
Washington, and the text of the circu-
lar, which is illustrated by half tone
cuts, is said to be particularly attrac-
tive.
1t was recently reported that Secre-
tary Ballinger had shut off all project
advertising, but the new issue men
toned herein gives the lie to this re-
port. The local project officials earn
estly hope for good active campaign
of advertising setting forth our project
resources.

'ALLON, NEVADA, THURSDAY, JUNE "a, 1909
MANY HORSES ARE KILLED
Vigorous Action Taken to Stamp
Out Chambers in This
Vicinity.

The state veterinarian and assistants
have been very busy the last week cor
railing horses showing symptoms of the
glanders and up to the present time
quite a number of valuable animals
have been killed. Among those who
have lost animals are: James Loft
house, Z; j. j. Cushman, /; Lem
Allen, A; K. C. Stage Company, 2; the
latter company having one more horse
in quarantine to which the glanders
test has been applied. Several other
parties, whose names we failed to
learn, have horses under quarantine,
and the number may be materially in
creased before the disease is entirely
stamped out.
One unfortunate case was that of H..
o. Martin, who with his family recent
ly drove over from California, expect
ing to get work IN the hay fields around
Fallon. While at Wadsworth one of
his horses cut its foot quite seriously in
barbed wire fence rendering it un-
able to travel. He traded for another
animal there and upon his arrival here
the horse was found to be suffering
from the glanders, and was accordingly
ordered in quarantine and will, in all
probably be shot, thus leaving him
with but one horse. to travel with.

Nevada's Newest Boom Camp.

The stampede of fortune.seekers in
to the new camp Of Salisbury Wash,
or Glendale, still continues and that
camp now promises to eclipse even Gold
field. Already hundreds of people have
rushed into the camp to secure leases
and fractions of claims, as the possi-
bility of securing entire claims is very
slight, the country having been staked
out for miles in all directions. This
wonderful camp was discovered by
Mrs. Ellen May, who accidentally came
upon ledge four feet in width. She
Immediately told her husbsnd and
brothers, the Cliffords, of the rush and
after locating more than forty claims,
all showing the ledge, they allowed the
outside world to know of their wonder
full discovery. The rush has now been
going on for nearly week. but still
there are no signs of it abating.
Those who have seen the ore of Sals-
bury Wash declare that it is the rich
est ore they have ever seen, and that
it far surpasses any other ore ever
discovered in Nevada.

DANIELS HAS POWER IN VIEW
Says He Will Put Plant in
Fallon to Develop
Electricity.

J. B. Daniels, the Wonder Mine
manager, passed through Fallon Satur-
day on his way to Wonder. Whileh here
Mr.. Daniels gave out the information
that the survey of the proposed pipe
line between Sage Hen creek from a
point near Mt. Grant and Wonder COM
menced Saturday, and active work on
his mill would be commenced this
week. Mr.. Daniels says that Decem-
ber 1st is the date set for the COM
mencement of mill operations.
He also stated while here that he
had an electric plant for Fallon under
serious consideration and that should
his company install an electric power
developing plant that crude oil would
be used to develop gas from which the
power would be developed. According
to Mr.. Daniels, the power thus devel-
oped would be utilized not only locally,
but would be conducted to Wonder for
the use of his company as well, for he
figures that it would be cheaper to con-
duct the power from here than to haul
the fuel necessary to develop the re-
quired power for developing plant in
Wonder.
Daniels made a contract with the
government nearly three years ago for
certain amount of power at the big
drop west of town, but through some
reason or other the negotiation fell
through and now he has apparently
abandoned the idea of water power for
that of gasoline.

In JOcuIar Vein

The giant mind that came in the
numb skull of special land agent who
received this papers compliments in
our last issue has not been twenty-five
years in its brain bladder for nothing
Up to recently this mind has wandered
around with no particular place to call
home, but praises be it struck snag.
1t discovered way to keep horny
handed son of toll out of mischief. Ii
has taken years of fasting and strug-
gle, of wailing and knashing of teeth
for the sleuths of this country to find
a method of keeping homesteaders at
home. 1t fell upon Special Agent Will
cox to unravel this knotty question
for he has rightly figured that if he
breaks into a few of their houses and
invoices their private belongings that
they will not in the future leave the
task of watching what escapes from
the hard times to the bull dog but will
stay at home in the capacity of guard
until they have complied with 999 red
tape rulings. Little do we poor worms
of the dust realize the massive brain
work of Wilcox. Nor have we appre-
ciated his whiskey breath, limburger
complexion and distorted talks on
Gland law as we should.
We should cry ourselves to sleep over
his general land office circular and fall
off into fitful slumber with WILCOX
in our childish brains. Wileox's ances-
tors may have found out "Why is a
Saw Log?" 1t is barely possible that
one of them as bureau chief discovered
that knot hoies never ripened until
sawed into fence around a baseball
diamond. How would any of us have
ever learned that Oaks have corns if it
hadn't been for public servants of the
Wilcox type? We surely owe Wilcox
resolution of thanks or something for
so lavishly displaying his knowledge of
our land laws. We haven't hit the NOR
al on the noodle yet but this is ''it":
you can't tell from the appearance OF
public servants of the Wilcox type just
how much salary they really earn and
what disparity exists between what
they earn and what they get.

FALLON MAY BUY POWER SITE
Prominent Citizens Advocate
Purchase of Site From
Government.

Quite number of Fallon's prominent
citizens who have the welfare of the
town at heart, are considering the ad-
visibility of the city making a bid for
the governments power site, about
miles from Fallon.
The government proposes to offer to
the highest bidder, l00-horse power
with the privilege of an additional 100
horsepower within a short time, and
the site is considered an ideal one for
an electric power plant. Private in
terests it is understood will attempt TO
obtain the franchise and at the next
meeting of the city council, the matter
will be taken under serious considera-
tion by that body, with view of aban-
doning the old idea Of gasoline plant.
Should the city decide to take up the
proposition, it is believed that private
interests who have the site in view,
will offer but very little opposition,
thus assuring the acquisition of the
power at reasonable price.
Two or three members of the coun-
Gil, who have been interviewed on the
subject, seem to be in favor of the city
acquiring the site, and all who are in
terested in this important matter
should not fail to attend the next ses-
sion of the council on the coming Sat
urdsy night. This is a matter that
concerns everyone.
