FALLON, NEVADA, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 1, 1910
The PROPOSED LOWER RATES
Will Not Go Into Effect Until
After Jan End. Matter
Now In Doubt.

The low tariffs between Nevada
points and coast points, recently ad-
vertised as becoming effective Decem-
Der 18th, will not be in effect until
January End, according to the latest
railroad rate developments and possibly
not then. In the meantime, the rail-
road company had prepared these
schedules, which in each case COM
prised enough printed paper to make a
big book, and distributed the same to
all agents in the territory affected,
where they were to remain on file for
period of thirty days as provided by
law. In the meantime, these books of
tariff schedules have been recalled by
the railroad officials, which may mean
that on January End, the rates will not
go in effect or if they do, they will not
be In accord with those contained in
the latest issue of tariffs.
Everything seems to be very much
in the air these days and degree of
uncertainty prevades railroad circles.
Should the rates as last published by
the railroad company, and which have
been recalled, go into effect, it will
mean practical elimination of the NE
yada back haul charge"

Will Conduct Orchard Heating Ex.
periments.


The government experimental farm
authorities are about to fulfill another
important task for the people of this
valley. 1t is now planned to make
demonstrations with various kinds of
orchard heating pots on the farm one
mile south of town, to which all those
interested in horticulture are invited to
be present. The tests are made from
time to time at the farm, where q sys-
tenn of thermometers will register the
appreciable effect on the temperatures
OF the areas covered by the fire pots.
Later on in the spring day will be
set aside and given over to a general
demonstration. The Toomey and ].
W. Ferguson orchards have been selec-
ted as points Of experiments next
spring.
This latest move Of the farm authori-
ties should arouse a good deal of inter
est among those in this valley who
plan engaging in horticulture. 1t has
been maintained all along by the
government authorities that this val
ley presents fine field for horticultur-
al exploitation and the length of our
growing seasons sustain this argument,
il the spring frosts. following an almost
inevitable warm early spring spell of
weather can be safeguarded against.
For this reason the experiments con-
templated will be watched with great
deal of interest.

RANCH SALES IN THE VALLEY
rE Mills Sells Fine Ranch To
Oregon Parties. Other
Properties Sold.

A ranch sale of Importance occurred
Tuesday when C. E. Mills transferred
bis ssO-acre tract lying six miles north
of town to Firebaugh brothers, who
hail from Salem. Oregon. Of the $50
acres transferred 200 carry q recognized
vested water right and are producing
bountiful crops each year. One hun
dred head of cattle and 27 head of work
horses are included in the transfer as
are also all farming implements,
wagons, etc.
The Mills ranch is one of the county s
finest properties. Something like 5000
cords of wood remain uncut on the
place, and there is much young timber,
ali Of which has extraordinary value in
this arid and forestless section.
The purchasers are 10 take possession
at once. In the meantime, Mr.. Mills
has not made public his plans for the
future, but it is understood that he will
move his family into town within day
or two and they may remain here for
the winter or permanently.
Co-incident with the sole of the C. Z.
Mills ranch, F, C. Farwell sold his so
acre tract of lane in the st. Clair dis
trct south of town on the same day to
a Mr.. Peters, formerly of Elko county,
for a consideration named as being
$4,000. The ranch which Mr.. Farwell
transfers to the purchaser is partly un-
der cultivation and is situated in dis
trict that produces alfalfa prolifically.
His decision to sell came as sequel to
desire to locate in Oregon, to which
state he contemplates moving shortly.

MORE RANCH IMPROVEMENTS
dollhouse Ranch Will Soon Pre-
sent Busy Scene. 800 Acres
To be Planted to Beets.

The j. C. dollhouse ranch has passed
into the hands of its new owners, and
within the next few days land leveling
and blowing for the 1911 beet crop will
be in full swing. Mr.. C. Dempsey is
now in charge of the ranch. He is
thoroughly posted on preparing land
for raising beets, having previously
been in charge of 5000-acre beet ranch
in Southern California. Because Of the
fact that he made an unqualified success
in his undertaking in California, the
owner of the dollhouse ranch picked
him for the task he is now engaged
upon. The sugar beet industry in this
valley is new one and the new farm
manager is wholly in touch with the
demands to be complied with in order
to reduce the sage brush land into a
cultivated state. For this reason his
example may be watched with profit
by his neighbors and others who are
interested in the raising of sugar beets.
Mr.. Dempsey is highly clever and
accom- nodating gentleman and will give
his experience to prospective sugar
beet raisers unstintedly.
He comes here under instructions
from the ranch owner to get all culti-
waited land ready as rapidly as facilities
will allow. The acreage of land already
cultivated totals 250 acres, and together
with the new acreage to be added,
something like 300 acres of the Loft
house ranch will be given over to beet
culture during the year of 1911. The
example afforded by the new ranch
owner should serve to allay the fear of
the timid ones in this valley, who
through various reasons are holding
back from signing up beet acreage.
And likewise the officers of the Nevada
Sugar Company have abundant grounds
for congratulations in the fact that
beet men from . tried section Of Cali
fornia would engage in m undertaking
of such magnitude without ado OF ex-
pertinent, proving faith in the soils Of
the valley and the legitimacy Of the
local sugar company's undertaking.
This man is not pursuing IN unstudied
policy, for he has followed the business
through long years in other sections,
and for a long period has grown
annually many thousands of acres of
sugar beets.
The entrance Of such men upon the
local scene is nothing short Of positive
benefit and we need more Of the anne
sort of individuals.

TEAR of antfmatri ipnonial results need
no longer. agitate the parents. OF am. :.
bilious daughters desiring. college
educatisns. The recently resigned pres
ident of Smith college, Doctor zelic. says
higher education in. no way interferes
with the pealing Of wedding bells. In
fact. he seems to believe. from the gen
eral tenor of an address he has deliv-
cred in Boston, that a degree rather en-
hances the charm and the value of
young women.
Apart from the odds in favor of the
collegians matrimonially they promise
to relegate race suicide ana divorce to
those things labeled obsolete. These
are less Indignantly prevalent since
the college woman is no longer a rar-
ity, declares Doctor Zelic. Should col
lege courses become universal for
women matriomnial millennium is not
among the impossibilities.
There is vague undercurrent of de-
pendence upon statistics noticeable in
the discourse that leads one to infer
that he has been reading up" on the
subject.
Some one has said There are lies.

nothing more than neat little bundles

Just whether more or fewer college
girls than of other young women marry
is. to my mind, rather impossible to an
nounce definitely.
