PREPARING DATA FOR BOARD
Local Water Users Will Present
Evidence Monday Evening
At Public Meeting.

The committee appointed at the
Farmers Association meeting held
Monday afternoon at the courthouse,
for the purpose of formulating state
ment for presentation to the army
board of engineers, the members of
which headed by General Marshall.
will be here Monday, met last evening
at the court house. All members of
this committee were present. They
are: G. w. Latin, chairman, A. r.
Merritt, Thomas Dolf, A. L. Rosenberg,
C. M. Hicks, F. H. Sears and "A. o.
Foskett. Statistician C. j. Blanchard,
of the reclamation service and Project
Engineer d. w. Cole were present at
the committee meeting last evening
and Tended their advice in the for
mulating of clear, concise statement
for the consideration of the army board,
which will be confined chiefly to show
ing the urgent needs of additional
water for this project, and will treat
as we'll of the wonderful beneficial eff
feet the installation of the present sys-
tenn has wrought in this valley. 1t was
decided to have supper Monday even
ing, at which time several local
speakers will treat of the changes
brought about by the government
undertaking in this valley. At least
four speakers will treat Of different
subjects, including agriculture, hortis
culture and stockraising, in addition to
local economics, and four minutes will
be the extreme time limit allowed each
speaker, thus insuring brief, concise
program for the evening. Next Tues,
day trip will be made over the valley
in automobiles, and the Lower Carson
dam site will be viewed, following
which the Fernley district will be visited
and the trip terminated there.
Mr.. Blanchard stated that he be,
lieved that this valley wac another
Yakima valley, where lands are selling
at as high as $4,000 per acre, and con-
fidently predicted a great advance in
land values here. He called attention
to the Importance of properly enter.
tanning the army board and of the inn
portant relation they now occupy
towards the future development Of
the government irrigation projects.
For this reason every effort should
be directed by local people towards
making the members of the board
our conditions and problems;
and particularly should they be given
a comprehensive idea of of the economic
side of our project affairs.

LAND AND WATER WITHDRAWN
Secretary Ballinger Withdraws
Project Lands From Entry
and Sale of Water.

A departmental order was received
the first of the week by Project Engi-
neer ID. W. Cole, bearing date of Sep.
tember 10th, which precudes the fur
ther filing of homestead claims within
this project until the order has been res
cinded and further provides that nc
water applications will be received for
lands in private ownership, after prop
er notice has been given by publication
which will likely be done, commencing
with next week. While this action by
the Interior Department is not alto
gether unexpected to those in a posi-
tion to know of existing PROJECT con-
ditions, 1t comes as complete surprise
to many, and rush of water applica-
tions will be filed within the short time
allotted between now and the time when
applications will no longer be accepted,
which will be sometime early in Oc-
tober.
This latest move by the department
officials means that cognizance has
been taken of the present limited sup
ply of irrigation water in this valley,
pending the completion of tie Carson
dam. Il means further that the gov
ernment does not propose TO oversell
its water supply, something that has
occurred almost uniformly in private
irrigation undertakings. Seldom will
so light supply of water available for
this valley from the Truckee and Car
son watersheds be encountered as was
the case this season, owing to an exs
tremely light snowfall in the Sierras,
but the government evidently proposes
to avoid hazarding the crops of the
valley by taking on additional obliga-
tions to supply water to new settlers.
As matters now stand many thousand
acres Of unused water have been sold,
owing to the fact that lands, for which
water has been sold, have not been
prepared to receive irrigation. When
this has occurred, the maximum supply
will be utilized, and the wisdom of the
governments action is at once appar-
ent.
Another feature of the present situa-
tion is the effect that the govern
ment's withdrawal Of public lands and
water rights will have on the develop
ment of the valley. Rather than being
a measure retarding, the action will
serve to increase the demand for
lands and force the cultivation Of that
portion, for which water has been ap-
piled for but remains unused, through
various reasons. In two years, upon
the completion OF the storage dam,
now under conside ration, additional
public land will be thrown open to en-
try in units, as the deman d occurs, and
in all likelihood, the water for these
lands will be sold at an advanced
figure.

Senator Nixon's Statement:

Senator George s. Nixon has issued
the following statement:
To the electors of the state of Me-
vada;
l thoroughly agree with Mr.. Pittman
that there should be no doubt after the
election on the 9Th of November, as
to who will be the next United States
senator from this state, and his ideas
are entirely in accord with my views
expressed in letter given to the press
further confirm the same will use Mr..
Pittman's language as set forth in his
statement made several days ago, SUBJ
stituting his name as the Democratic
candidate for the United States senats
for mine, as the Republican candidate
for that Office.
"And for the purpose of setting at
rest any doubts that may exist, as to
my conduct in any event, pledge my
self, on my word of honor, as follows;
'If at the ensuing general election.
either Honorable Key Pittman, Demo-
cratic nominee for United States sena-
tor, or Honorable Judd Harris, Social
ist candidate for United States senator,
shall receive the greatest number of
votes for such Office, then | will use
every honorable means to induce every
member of the senate and assembly to
vote for such candidate; and will un-
equivocally and finally refuse to per-
nit my name to be submitted to such
legislature to be. voted upon for such
office; and in the event such a vote is
had against my will under the condi-
tions referred to above, will not rec
ognize such act, and if SO elected will
not accept such Office or qualify.

FIRST ACCIDENT ON BRANCH
The Fallon-Hazen Mixed Train
Piles Up Tuesday Near
Leeteville.

The FallonH Hazen mixed train, COM
prising five cars of miscellaneous
freight and baggage and combi nation
passenger car met with the first mishap
Tuesday, occurring on the branch line
into this place. since IFS completion
four years ago. While proceeding at a
fair rate of speed tank car next to
the tender left the track and before the
train could be stopped the two freight
cars Immediately following it, loaded
with local freight consigned to local
merchants, left the track along with
the offending car and considerable dam
was done to the contents in the pile up
that followed. The engine, passenger
car and baggage coach and the remain
ing two freight cars did not leave the
track. The road bed was damaged for
distance of about 200 feet, and all
told the railroad suffered a loss esti-
mated at around $1,000.
The passengers riding in the coach
suffered little jar and hardly realized
that a wreck Of serious consequence
had been narrowly averted until some
moments after the occurrence. The
wrecker was sent down from Sparks
and worked all night on what the
printer would call pie" effecting
complete cleanup by seven o'clock on
the following morning. No blame can
be attached to the crew or the railroad
management for the wreck, which
seems to have been caused by broken
fiange on one of the wheels of the oil
car, and was unavoidable.

to establish by them the result of that
election. In discussing this feature of
the matter with Hon. B. F. Curlef; of
the law firm of Summerfield d Curler.
two ways were suggested and practical
ly agreed upon.
First. Have some taxpayer of this
city enjoin the city council from issuing
or selling the bonds ON the ground that
the city is illegally Incorporated, in
that it is acting under the general
Incorporation law when in truth and
fact it is incorporated under a special
act. This would bring the question
squarely before the court, and would
enable the present city administration
to establish the fact (by parol evidence)
that the special incorporation had been
defeated at the election of May 7th,
1907, and that thereafter the City Of
Fallon was Incorporated under the
general act. Proceedings of this ma
ture could, perhaps be taken before the
District Court at the term to be held
the last of this month upon an agreed
statement of facts and a decision OBJ
tanned forthwith; the losing party
could Immediately appeal to the Su-
dremc Court of this state, and inas-
much as the case is an important one
it might be possible to get it advanced
on the calendar so that final decision
would be had by December or January.
That both courts would hold the present
incorporation to be absolutely legal
there is scarcely the question of a
doubt. However, where individuals or
banks have $45,OOO at stake, as is the
case here, they are somewhat reluctant
to take any hazard.
Second: The other way, and less
expensive one, although longer time
would be taken, would be to wait until
the legislature meets in 1911, have it
repeal the special act creating the
Town of Fallon, and then pass an act
validating the present Incorporation, if
such a step were deemed necessary.
This would cost practically nothing but
it would be spring before work could
begin on the water works and sewer
system.
1t might be added that should the
courts hold contrary to what | believe
they would do, as stated in the first
proposition above, still you would have
the legislature in session next winter
when the final decision would be ar
rived at, and, if adverse to your city,
the Legislature could then come to your
relief.
In conclusion wish to say that while
in Reno / also interviewed Mr.. Robert
Turritin, cashier of the Nixon National
Bank. Mr.. Turritin informed me his
bank was willing to extend tho time
for the purchase of the bonds until
FEBRUARY 1911. ! am also informed
that Churchill County Bank of your
city is willing to make similar exten-
sion. So whether the first or second
step is taken in relation to validating
that which may seem to be invalid, l
am satisfied the several bonds will be
issued and sold and the contemplated
work proceeded with, although delayed
considerably by circumstances that
might, charitably, be called an unfor-
tunate oversight.
am Sirs,
Respectfully,
WILLIAM s. WALL,
City Attorney.
