BIDDING FOR TULE
LANDS SPIRITED

Bids were opened at Reclamation
headquarters Saturday morning for the
leasing of between seven and eight
thousand acres of government land
abutting on Carson lake for a period
of one year from the date of approval
of contract. Spirited bidding resulted
from the governments offer to lease
grazing and other possessory privileges
appurtenant to the land, as the finest
duck shooting in the land is afforded on
the territory embraced by the lands
leased, and the entrance of the local
nimrods into the contest for possession
of at least sufficient government land
to ensure access to the lake tules
sufiiced to raise the price on several
of the parcels to what has been hither-
to an unheard of figure.
The bids were forwarded to WASH
ington for official approval, upon which
the land contracts will be issued. 1t is
given out that the annual revenue from

JUDGE BARTINE ARGUES
RAILROAD MATTERS

Final arguments on the petition be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission of the City of Reno for ter
minal rates were heard Tuesday by
the four members of the commission
present and the matter will now be
submitted on briefs which will be
filed January next. The arguments
were of intense interest locally as a
favorable decision will involve the
elimination of back-haul charge for
the distance from Reno to Sacramen-
to, against which Reno merchants
complain.
The arguments were made by Judge
H. Bartine, chairman of the Nevada
Railroad Commission and counsel in
charge; C. w. Durbrow, counsel for
the Hartman lines, and Seth Mann,
attorney for the Traffic Bureau of the
Merchants Exchange of San Francis
CO. Judge Bartine opened and closed
the argument, concluding in time to
allow the Commissioners to go to Salt
Lake last night to hear arguments in
the Salt Lake rate case.
1t is the conviction that the hearing
will result in substantial rate reduc-
tions for Reno if not in the granting
of terminal rates.

So Says F. E. Mobley, a Cali
fornia Dairyman Who
Knows.

F. E. Mobley, brother of Mrs. A.
w. DeVan, arrived in Fallen last week
from Stanslaus county, California.
He brought with him half carload of
fruit and five Jersey dairy COWS for
the DeVans. Mr.. Mobley is very high
ly impressed with this section and its
possibilities in a dairying and fruit
growing sense. He told US that butter
fat commanded higher price here
than in his section, but that alfalfa
lands were worth in his section from
S225 to $3.50 per acre. He also told us
that Jersey dairy stock was in more
faver in California than Holstein. The
former produce quality while the latter
produce quantity. In cases where hay
IS worth under five dollars per ton the
Holstein is preferable, according to
Mr.. Mobley, because they consume a
much larger quantity of hay than Jer-
seys. But should the hay be worth
more than this sum, the Jersey by its
economical eating is the better dairy
stock.
According to Mr.. Mobley, who is a
thorough dairyman, the daiTymen of
his section figure that they can pay as
high as SIG per ton for alfalfa hay for
their herds and still make a profit on
their product.

NEWLANOS PET MEASURE
Is Seeking Aid of Western
Senators to Pass Con-
servation Scheme.

Senator Newlands has addressed a
letter to the senators from the arid
and semi-arid states, calling their
attention to the waterways movement
for the development of navigation,
which is to be emphasized by the
presence of the president at the deep
waterway convention at New Orleans,
October Both, and to the Importance
of the senators and representatives
from the arid and semi-arid states con-
ferring together IN the interests of
their region.
He calls attention to the impt rtance
of comprehensive plans that will cover
contemporancous development of the
rivers in every section of the country,
and particularly in the arid region,
where the storage of flood waters can
be made useful both for irrigation and
navigation in the maintenances of a
steadier stream flow.
The movement contemplates a con-
ference of senators and representatives
from about 10 states west of the Mis-
souri, at the beginning of the next ses-
sion of congress, with view to max
ing the arid region a factor in water
way development.
He urges the creation of waterway
fund of $4,000. 600 annually and
shows that of this amount the head
waters of the navigable rivers in the
arid region should receive about s5,
100000 annually which, in addition to
the reclamation fund will take care of
unfinished as well as contemplated ir-
rigation projects. Journal.
Mr.. Newl .nds calls attention to the
fact that the arid and semi.a arid states
have nearly one-t third of the senators
and can shape action to he end desired.
They are experts on irrigation and can
shape Legislation on water so that the
rivers and streams can be made to
serve all the several ends desired. He
states that the region controlled by the
rivers which flow into the Gulf and
Pacific Ocean comprises two-thirds of
the country and that irrigation is one of
the greatest uses of water in this region
He gays the reclamation fund is not
large enough to do the work with the
speed desired. He urges that in FORM
ing the new waterway fund, storage
Of water and irrigation should be
an essential part of development of
streams for navigation. Thus the
waterways fund should contribute to
the reclamation fund.

Service of Mail to Wonder and
Fairview Reduced to
Tri-Weekly

The government has taken cognizance
of the falling off OF postal business of
the mining camps in the southern por-
tion of this county and hence
forth, those who live in Fairview,
Wonder and The Sand Springs and Hill
sections will have to be content with
news from the outside world three
times a week, instead of daily. Jess
r. Roberts, assistant superintendent
of mail service, left Fallon Sunday for
his headquarters at San Francisco,
after going thoroughly over the various
mail routes of the county and the
amount of present business handled by
each. Before leaving he advertised
for bids for three times a week SER
vice for the districts named, the stage
to leave Fallon Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays with Wonder as the ter
minal, from which the mail will leave
for outside points on Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays.
The present contract price for this
route is 81, 200, and the government ex-
poets to very materially reduce the
cost of mail transportation by making
the reduction in service.
Bids are also being asked for the
Saltwater route, which will continue to
be six times week service, Sundays
excepted. The present price for this
route is 5000 and the length of The
route IA miles.
These bids are co.incident with bids
covering the mail service of the entire
west, which will be be let next spring
for four years from July 1st, 1910 to
June 3Oth, 1914.

IS JIM RICHARDS
REALLY MARRIED

The surprising news was flashed
over the wires last Friday Afternoon
that Jim Richards was married. oul
Jim, over whose jokes we have al
laughed until our sides were sore
and that his victim at the hymhea
alter was former sweetheart from
away back in Missouri, the show me
state. Now this fitting sequel to Q
life long courtship is great surprise
to Jim's most intimate acquaintances,
who do not feel offended when they
know that the lady in the affair was
the object of Jim's affection more than
sixty years ago. When he left the
corn state, the young lady's parents
objected to the wild and woody and
laborious trip across the old immigrant
trail, so Jims fiance was left to pine
away among the forests of corn, while
Jim essayed to do the pioneering stunt
in the far west in search of the ever
elusive fortune.
But patient years of waiting on the
part of the lady were rewarded with
the realization of her fondest hopes.
With the passage of sixty years came
relenting on the part of the parents
and she trekked across the expanse of
desert waste to meet Jim at San
Francisco.
According to the advices received
locally the wedding occurred at the
Fairmont, and the minister who pro-
nounced the simple words that started
Jim down the toboggan slide into thu
married mems camp required double
assurance from othere- Fallonite.

Is Made BY Southern Pacific
r. r. Company Against
Fallon.

With mock protestations of good
faith floating into our ears from the
Southern Pacific Company's headquar-
ters, with continued avowals of deep
interest in our projects success; with
constant re-iterations of desire to adj
just tariffs in and out of the project
that will best serve the section, it is all
as sounding brass when we know that
the railroad company has by slip shod
methods and disinterested action delib-
erately deprived the hay raisers of this
valley of an opportunity TO market from
twelve to fifteen thousand dollars worth
of their product.
1t all came about in this WISE: Sew
eral prominent sheep and cattle men of
the ca tern part of the state, knowing
full well that our hay is extraordinarily
nutritiye and that this seasons price
would allow the feeding of sheep and
cattle for coast markets, fixed upon
this section as the point for winter
feeding. But upon making inquiries,
it was learned that Fallon was discrim-
mated against in favor of Lovelocks,
Wadsworth and other main line points
and the difference in the stock in tram
sit rate accorded other points and t,e
flat rate accorded this place is SO great
that it proved the prompting influence
that turned the sheep aud ca tlemen "
other points and deprived the hay pro.
dacers OF this valley OF the opportunity
to market a goodly portion o: their pro-
duct.
Several large shipments of cattle
We're turned from Elko to Salt Lake
City, while one shipment of six thou
sand mutton sheep sold by w. w. Wiz
liams to the Western Meat Company,
We're shipped to Lovelocks, after AL
plans had been made for feeding them
in this place.
1t all came about through the unbus-
mess like and discriminatory methods
of the Southern Pacific Company,
which notwithstanding its continued
avowals OF deep interest in our future,
insists that we shall be served at the
third table, according other points
within the state the privilege of taking
the favored first table with all its ad-
vantages, leaving US merely the scraps.
If this policy is to be continued the
people of the project want to know it.
In times past they have believed the
railroad company's announcements of
friendship. We have even hoodwinked
ourselves into seeing things and many
of us imagined that we could discern a
large stream of milk of human kind
ness flowing from the breast of the
railroad octopus, but this latest policy
has swept our eyes clear and no longer
leaves doubt in local minds of rail-
road insincerity.

new Los ANGELES ROUTE
The Standards Prior Article
Has Now Been Fully
Confirmed.

| That the Southern Pacific In the
search for short line to Los Angeles
has virtually abandoned consideration
of Hazen as an objective point for the
cutoff is indicated in an article pub
lished by the Goldfeld Tribune yesrer-
day morning.
The Importance of the information
if it be well founded, can hardly be
exaggerated as it lends hope that the
stream of through traffic that passes
Reno will not be diverted at Hazen
as at first contemplated Winnemuc-
ca is said to be considered and If the
survey is made in that direction the
result must ultimately be of benefit
to Reno.
The article follows.
The construction of the Hazen cut
off for the accommodation of traffic to
southern California may be indefinite
ly postponed. Recent developments
have brought to light the presence
of three large and well-appointed
corps of Southern Pacific surveyors
who occupy the field in central Neva-
da. These engineers are running
lines for new outlet of the aqueduct
line via either Winnemucca, Battle
Mountain or Palisade. The latter
point is not regarded with special
favor, owing to the broken character
of the country which would render
construction expensive. Another OBJ
lection is the heavy grades that could
not be overcome economically, and
this is, after all, the most vital factor
in the movement. For the long fruit
trains and heavy passenger traffic
the Southern Pacific demands the vir.
tual elimination of grades, even
though such decision involves the
building of costly tunnels. Battle
Mountain has the advantage of right
OF way from Austin that could be
converted into the roadbed of modern
double track trunk line.
Winnemucca, however, is said to
have the advantage over the other
surveyed routes, according to the
statements of men who have worked
on the survey. The grades are light
and curvature nominal, while the
selection would reduce the western
haul by the distance to Haxen.
The plans under advisement contem-
plate the abandonment of direct line
from that point passing through Coal
dale, on the Tonopah and Goldfield, up
north. The value Of the Carson and
Colorado does not cut any, figure ia
the calculations, as that line has never
paid operating expenses The descrip-
tion of the line is eloquently given by
J. Odgen Mills on the occasion Of his
first visit to inspect the property when
he summed up the situation for the
benefit of stockholders with the state
ment that the road is 300 miles too
long and 100 years too soon. This
aptly expresses the valuation placed
upon the line by the owners, who have
not found reason fon amd dhding the
opinion of the founder.-JodIAAl.

Cock fighting continues to be a
favorite local pastime and tournament
is proposed.
Will Lofthouse returned home Tues
day. He says that Jim and he occupied
the same stateroom on the return trip
from Los Angeles to San Francisco by
boat and that Jim acquired seasickness
just to be fashionable. However, Will
says that Jim is not married that the
report published elsewhere In this issue
is incorrect. We are sorry as Jim
should have been snubbed up to the
married mems hitching post many
years ago.

Lands Elsewhere Bring Fabu-
lous Figures, Why Not
Here?

A new record for apple land valuation
was established in the Hood river dis
trict last week when ten acres OF
eight year old Newtons and Spleen
bergs sold for SIC, 500 cash, or S165c
per acre. Now, it does not seem
possible that our section will ever be
as famous an apple district as the
Hood river and Yakima sections, but
stranger things have happened. There
is not an orchard in our valley that
does not bear wonderful loads of
blossoms each year and many mature,
although the late frosts occasionally
nip large portion of our young fruit.
But in many sections, intelligent hand
ling of orchards is doing away with
the former uncertainty of crop. In
Colorado, the progressive growers save
each year several million dollars worth
of excellent fruit by building fires in
fire pots arranged in the rows between
the trees; smudging and mulching also
contribute toward fighting off Jack
Frost.
The other day James Leete brought
to town several hundred pounds of the
prettiest, rosiest apples you ever saw;
just as good in flavor and size and
more highly colored than anything
that ever came from the famous apple
districts. Other growers have varying
success in fruit production and when
ever crop has been raised, one thing
is certain. namely, that the favor is
everything that could be asked.
If the people of this section only
realized that intelligent modern methods
will suffice co keep away disastrous
frost and that annual crops can surely
be raised five pursue the same methods
in vogue IN other sections, we would
soon have large acreage of fruit trees.
