THREATENED BY FIRE DEMON
The Town Has Another Marrow
Escape From Serious
Conflagration.

The town was saved a disastrous
fire last Thursday night by the timely
barking of Duke, the pet dog belonging
to j. II. Mills, which discovered fire in
box on the rear porch of the post Of
fee and by his unusual barking attrac-
ted Joe Orangeblossom. the Palace
saloon attendant, who quickly sum-
moned help and quenched the blaze be-
fore it assumed dangerous proportions.
The box was full of waste papers tied
together tightly and to this fact, per-
haps, we can ascribe our good fortune
in escaping serious conhagration, for
had the papers been loose they would
have burned more rapidly.
Apparently some one under the inHu-
ence of liquor had staggered to the
office porch with lighted cigar or pipe
and burning spark had fallen into the
box for it is not believed that anyone
would attempt to burn the business
portion of town. Had this been the
motive, however, a better spot could
not have been selected to start the
blaze and 1t was only the rarest Of
good fortune that prevented o bad
blaze Thursday night.
Although Fallon has been seriously
threatened with fire on several different
occasions, we have fortunately escaped
the fire demon. With the installation
of water system, the danger from
fire would be materially lessened.

City Council Meeting.

The city council met Saturday even
ing for the purpose OF considering bids
for the proposed ssass, ssass coo bond issue, to
allow of the construction of a water
system for Fallon. Although five
letters had been received by the city
treasurer, enclosed in suspicious look
ing envelopes, no bona fide bids were
discovered upon opening the missives,
and it is now proposed to advertise for
the sale of bonds of the same amount,
bearing six per cent interest, which it
is figured will be more attractive than
the five per cent plan, and will meet
with ready sale.
Fallon needs water system; it also
needs sewerage system. There is,
however, wide diversity of opinion
on the question of how best to secure
these inn )vations and when. The city
council is striving to serve the com
munity's interests and is not sc kim
10 arbitrarily force upon the community
water or sewage system. Both w
w. Williams and / H. Kent, the town {
two heaviest taxpayers. are earnes
advocates of the water system.

THE 1909 COUNTY FAIR
Was Successful In Its Every
Feature. Idea to be
Perpetuated.

The second annual county fair closed
Friday evening, crowned with complete
success, for the attractions were of
high order, while the finances were
sufficient to pay all expenses and leave
small margin which will be held over
and applied to the fair of next year.
Already the spirit of the fair is spread
ing in the favor of the people of the
county, who see in the movement the
provision for few days leisurely re-
Election, a climax to a seasons
efforts. And then there is the oppor-
tunity for comparison Of the fruition
that comes from individual effort. The
first month of autumn is mature,
gentle, rather than gay, and the fair
event is just the kind of attraction,
out of the very nature of things, that
will prove helpful and enduring.
The fair of this fall was better than
last years fair because it deserved
success. The fair of next fall will be
better still, because our people have
come to know its true relation to the
development of the section, and its
effect in an advertising sense.
Last Friday was the towns biggest
gala day for long time. A large
crowd was in attendance upon the fair
events, an several unique attractions
served to interest those present. The
yong ladies' Of the community gave a
nice exhibition OF horseback riding,
which provoked Il great deal of fayora-
bic comment. Even Senator Ncwlands
went into eestseies over the graceful
figures and ezpertnass of our lady riders.
The big pavilion was crowded to over
flawing all day Friday, and following
Senator Newlands speech in the even
ing, the picture products We're auetioned
off, netting goodly sum.
Too much credit cannot be given
those who were responsible for the
fair Of this fall. While the number of
outside people expected were not pres
sent, Arose Who did journey here to see
our exposition of local resources took
with them high opinion of the poten-
tialities of cur soil and will be among
the county's admirers.

Lovclock Capitalist Here.


w. G. Pitt, prominent capitalist
and politician of Lovelocks, formerly
state senator from Humboldt county,
came aver Friday to see our fair. He
returned home Saturday enthused with
the possibilities Of Churchill county.
Mr.. Pitt is business man, owning a
flour mill, bank, stores and ranches.
He stated that the Lovelock section
was favored with exceedingly heavy
wheat crops this year, but that the
field mice had played havoc over there,
where he suffered financial loss from
these pests amounting to around $40, 600.
A very large acreage of alfalfa has been
plowed up on account of the activity of
the destructive mice and seeded to
wheat 1t seems that the fiel rodents
breed in the tule districts of the low
lanls and gradually make inroads upon
the fields of the farms, and that no
Elective cheek has yet been discovered.
Mr.. Pitt sees a brilliant future in
~torr for this section. and he believes
hat more liberal treatment from the
government will do much to accelerate
It's development.

THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Adjusts Various Matters To
the Satifaction of the
Taxpayers.

The county commissioners met as a
board of equalization this week and
are still in session at the time of going
TO press. lnasmuch as none of its
work has been finally approved, we are
not able to give the proceedings. Few
taxpayers are entering protest against
the valuations assessed by c. W.
Wightman, although some few griev-
ances are being made known to the
board. WV Williams was granted a
reduction of SIS, 900 over the assessor S
figures and R. L. Douglass, A. r. Mer-
ritt, Charles Baker, and Geo. T. Childs
were each granted reductions in their
property valuations, for plausible rea-
sons.
The board will likely adjourn this
evening "wednesday in order to get
opinions from the Encouragement
upon certain questions that have come
up this year relating to the tax roll,
and fixing values and whether certain
kinds Of collateral are subject to taxa
ton. The board will be in session
again next week to continue their in
vestigation of the tax roll, after which
it will be officially approved and sent to
the recorders Office to be officially re-
corded.
The board found time this week to
approve the Wildes school district, taxi
en- from the Smart district, which will
be known as school district No. 3.
