WAVERLEY COMPANY MAKES
NEW COMPANY FOR DELIVERY

THE shaft drive has practically put

This question has been discussed for
some time in our factory said W. G.
Johnson, assistant manager of the
Waverley company but only recent
have we found time to thrcsh it out to
solution. The WaVerlcy high ell

dorsement of the greatest engineers
and gear experts in the country.

olutionize the delivery business of de-
partment stores, dry goods stores, mil
liners, grocers, laundries, and all that
class Of dealers which has many quick
deliveries to make every day in the
week and every week in the year.

dependability Of this electric make de-
Iivcring the goods the simplest and
easiest of all problems Of Ilerchandis-

EITHER solid e pneumatic tires may
be used on this car, There is sufficient
battery power and motor energy to
carry the loaded wagon at speed Of
ten twelve or fifteen miles an hour for

THE capacity of the car is sufficient
for any class of merchandise that in

HOWARD BOOKS ORDERS
FOR 22 BUCKS IN ONE DAY

In the nick OF time and after a record
run of thirteen days from the factory,
the beautiful new line of 1911 Buick
cars arrived in Los Angeles today.
They were unloaded in post haste
under the supervision of Manager
Frank Howard.
Practically all of the Howard Auto
companys agents eagerly sought first
view of the cars they have so long
waited for, and eXclamations of satis>
faction were heard on every side as
each successive model was taken from
the car.
Rehnements of details and beauty of
body lines characterize the 1911 Buick.
From the gadabout, the distinctive lit
tie roadster, to the model 80, a luXuri-
Gus car of the touring type, with fore
doors. combining a degree OF style,
power and speed unequaled in its class.
When the model 33 was unlOaded
Howard booked orders for no fewer
than twenty-five of these $1050 cars on
the spot. This is the smallest of the
four models of touring cars produced by
the Buick Motor company this year
and promises to exceed the wonderful
run of sales of the Buick white streak

Sad Death OF frankie Burton.

frankie Burton, the little son of Mr..
and Mrs. George Burton, passed away
at the family home, Sunday evening,
after brief illness of pneumonia, aged
ten years eleven months and three days.
From the first the serious nature Of his
affiiction was realized and treated by
every known method, but the grim hand
of death could not be stayed. The
funeral services were conducted Tues
day afternoon at the Baptist church by
Rev. 7. L. Bellam, of Sparks. Schools
were closed down out of respect to the
departed child, and the scholars, with
whom frankie was extremely popular,
attended in body. The pallbearers
were chosen from amt ng his playmates.
The most profound sympathy of the
community goes out to Mr.. and Mrs.
Burton at the death of their only son.
1t is sad beyond expression, and the
prattle of the little sisters, who cannot
comprehend their loss, only adds to the
crushing blow. No words Of tenderness
can mitigate the grief; it is one Of those
cases where love and tenderness can
interpose no comfort. God rest the
bright little manly fellow who has
fallen asleep and send His pity and
comfort to the mourning ones who are
left.

PERIOD OG CARSON VALLEY ALFALFA MEAL MACHINERY LYON @US CAPITAL ROW ENTHUSIASTIC
Has ordered For May nCutReom
LYON COUNTYS CAPITAL ROW
The iii Wind May Blow This
County Good If Mason's
Plans Mature.

Not only does Yerington want to take
the county seat of Lyon county away
from Dayton, but the new town of
Mason. on the line OF the Nevada Cop
per Belt Railroad, built to connect the
mines of Yerington district with Wau-
buska, on the main line of the South
ern Pacific also wants the courthouse.
L. G. Kidder, manager of the Mason
Townsite Company, declares that if
the Commissioners of Lyon county are
compelled by petition to call special
election to determine whether the
county seat remains in Dayton or goes
to Yerington, he will spend $4,000 to
defeat ierington's ambitions, and will
later ask that Mason be made the
county seat. He declares further that
if Yerington is successful he will go in
to the legislature and ask that Lyon
county be abolished by dividing that
county between Storey, Washoe, Orms-
by and Churchill counties. Mason is
only few miles from Yerington, and
is only small settlement.

ALFALFA MEAL MACHINERY
Has Been Ordered For Fallon
And IL Now In Course
OF Construction.

In our last issue mention was made of
the prospective alfalfa meal mill,
which our fellow townsman Fultor H.
Sears proposes to install in this bustling
community. Mr.. Sears informs US
that not only does he intend to install
the mill, but that his plans have so far
progressed that the machinery has been
ordered and is now in course of con-
struetion. This move was made sub
sequent to the forming of compeny
to handle the matter, which is composed
mainly of Chicago parties. Mr.. Sears
was at the outset elected to the presi-
dency of the corporation and will have
active charge of the enterprise.
Contrary to general belief, it is not
necessary to compound ground alfalfa
with other ingredients, inasmuch as the
feeding value of the raw product is
doubled by grinding.
The machinery of the mill will not
be shipped until adequate arrangements
can be made for operating power. This
will be necessary to the amount of
sixty horse power, according to Mr..
Sears, who hopes that the government
power question will be settled soon and
that electric juice will be available when
the machinery is completed and ready
for shipment.
In Kansas, alfalfa OF a commercial
value of SIC in the stack is being
ground at profit and meets with
ready sale, which fact convinces those
behind this project that it cannot fail
of success in this valley, where. there
will be an ever increasing supply of
alfalfa, with consequent Cutting Of
the market. 1t is probable that the
average selling figure Of alfalfa in the
stack will be around 81. At least it is
the opinion of most people who are
familiar with local conditions that this
will be the average ruling price of the
future.
The building that will house the hay
grinding machinery will necessarily be
three stories in height. The dust col
lectors will be installed on the third
floor and will be fed by pneumatic tubes.
This mill means much to this valley.
1t spells creamery and lot of other
things. Hearty cooperation should be
Tended Mr.. Sears, for it is an industry
and Fallon needs industries these days
above most everything else.

DAIRNNG IN CARSON VALLEY
Has Been Accompanied By
Prosperity. This Section In
Line For Industry.

The severity of the winter has inter-
fered in no way with the dairy business
in Carson Valley, unless it has had
tendency to hold the price at the top
notch. In that case the dairymen have
profited by the extreme weather con-
ditions of this winter, especially those
who have not been slow in learning
the value of good barns for their cows.
Threre was a time in this valley when
a stable for cows was not considered
necessary but now the farmer who
starts in the dairy business, erects a
barn for his herd as soon as his cows
are purchased.
We were talking with young far
mer this week who owns a herd of
thirty cows. During the month of De-
cember those COWS produced butter fat
to the value of $4,000. Since the
ranch furnishes pasture for his herd at
least eight months in the year, and one
man attends to the work connected
with dairy it can readily be seen that
this is one of the most profitable
branches of farming in this Valley.
Another instance was called to our
attention where farmer, although
with excellent facilities for dairying, in
the way of almost unlimited pasture
for the purpose, has been a little slow
to grasp the opportunities of the stu
alton. Last spring he started out in a
small way and during the month of
December siA cows brought him a.
creamery check for fifty odd dollars.
This month two more cows have been
added TO his herd and the end will prob
ably be -eached when he has reached
the position Of his neighbor told of in
the paragraphs above.
For the past fifteen or sixteen years,
or since the establishment of creameries
in Carson Valley, the dairy business
has been one of the most profitable re-
sources on q hundred or more farms.
The monthly creamery check has placed
cold hard cash into the farmers hands
instead OF the necessity of waiting
months and months until the crops were
sold. The creamery has been responsi-
BILE for the splendid condition that ex-
lists in Carson Valley to-day aid gives
even greater promise for the future by
the introduction of scientific methods
known to modern dairying Gardner

Real Value of Saeebrush.

Professor Sylvester Sparkling, chemi-
cal engineer for the Chemical Products
Company of Chicago, is in Reno and
intends to demonstrate to the people
of this city the uses to which sagebrush
can be put. He is having plant built
and in another week says he will be
ready to show the people of Nevada
that FIVE different products can be
manufactured from sagebrush.
He claims that at cost of S., prod
ucts to the value of $40 can be secured
from ton of sagebrush The princi-
pal product will be alcohol. The other
products are actic acid, acetine, wood
tar, small quantity of tanic acid and
a small quantity of rubber. Sam Davis
of the State Publicity Committee is
here with him and is aiding in estab.
fishing distilery for the manufacture
Of sagebrush products.
He says that 275, ZOO acres of lane
lying along the N-C-O Railroad can be
cleared of sagebrush by the company
and that not only will the sagebrush be
given for nothing, but the company will
be paid bonus of II an acre by tht
owners Of the land for clearing it ol
brush.

Herders Freeze to Death.

Thursday last French sheepherder
arriving in Reno from a point near
Donnelly Mountain in the northern part
of Humboldt county, states that on the
desert near the foot of Donnelly
Mountain, two sheepherders, their
faithful dogs and pack animals and
more than 5000 head of sheep lie frozen
to death and covered over with q man
tie of snow.
He states that the sheep belonged to
B. Lasaga, of Eagleville, In Surprise
Valley, California, and that Lasaga has
5000 more head of sheep in that coun-
try which he is willing to sell at the
rate of 25 cents per head. He states
that Lagasa has no feed for the ami
mails and that they are slowly freezing
and starving to death. The informant
claims that the two sheepherders who
lost their lives while attending their
flocks are buried beneath the snow and
their bodies will not be found until the
snow melts.
This is only one of the many pitiful
stories coming from North
ern Nevada, where the storms have
been severe and thousands of head of
sheep and cattle have persisted.

City Council Meeting.

The city council met Tuesday evening
in regular monthly session and decided
to inaugurate plans looking towards the
installation of the s35, 900 water system,
proposed for last fall, an enterprise
that failed Of consummation because of
the low rate of interest offered for the
proposed bond issue. Bond brokers
have been consulted and it is learned
definitely that an issue OF the magni-
tude proposed carrying an interest rate
of six per cent per annum, will be
sufficiently attractive to meet with
ready sale. The city attorney was
accordingly ordered to prepare an ordi-
nance authorizing further steps in this
important matter.
This paper believes that the towns
best interests demand an adequate
water system, commensurate for fire
protection and domestic uses. If Fallon
is ever to be town it will soon have to
commence the policy of mimicking, at
least, the ways of other progressive
communities.
The application for saloon license
OF Jim Smith was received and acted
upon favorably, as was the application
of Will LIGHTHOUSE.
Bill No. Is was passed as Ordinance
No. 18, and will become effective upon
proper publication.
A number of town bills were allowed.

ENTHUSIASTIC Beet MEETING
Court Room Crowded Yesterday
Afternoon By Farmers And
Business Men.

The largest crowd attracted by the
sugar beet propaganda that has been
abroad in this community for year,
assembled at the court room yesterday
afternoon. The large crowd present
and the intense interest manifested in
the subject must be taken as indicative
of desire for the enterprise. which at
times in the past has seemed to go
glimmering entirely from within local
business vision. But if the activity
displayed yesterday by the business
and farming interests can be taken for
what it seemed, the situation must be
nearly ready for the builders.
After short talks by several, the
chairman, Thomas Dolf, appointed a
finance committee, composed of the
following: Hon. w. w. Williams, G.
w. Likes, A. o. Foskett, C. P. Cirac
and A. L. Rosenberg.
Another committee, whose duty it
will be to ascertain the available
acreage possible for contract, was
appointed, composed of the following:
A. D. Drumm, C. w. Wightman and
Fulton H. Sears.
Following the appointment of the
last named committee recess of thirty
minutes was taken in order to allow the
committees to ascertain the concensus
of opinion of those present. Owing to
the lateness of the hour and the fact
that VIC were closing our forms for the
press, We are unable to give additional
news of the doings of the meeting,
which will appear in our next issue.

Authorities Preparing To Combat
Impending Flood.

The reclamation officials are prepar-
ing for the biggest flood in the project s
history and large supply of dyna-
mite is being secured. Other pre-
cautionery measures are being taken to
protect the concrete structures of the
irrigation system, which will likely be
subjected to tremendous strain when
the ice, which varies from foot and a
half to two feet in thickness, breaks
up.
The dams of this project are ali
built for regulation by gates, rather
than being of the overflow type, and
while the reclamation officials do not
anticipate damage as a result of the
thaw that now seems impending, still
the loss of the Carson or Truckee di-
verting dams, for instance, would
paralyze this project for season, and
precautions are being
taken to safeguard against any con-
tingency.
