Reclamation Effecting A Change.

Little towns have sprung up so quick
ly in the once -arid deserts where Uncle
Sam has established irrigation pro-
jects that not only farm lands are in
demand but town lots are selling at
fair prices. Business openings in
those places being reported to the rec
lamation service.
In the new town of Rupert, in the
Minidoka project in southern Idaho,
the government will begin auctioning
town lots on April 8. They are so by
lao feet and have already been APP
praised at from S25 to SIS.
The village has population of 500,
is Incorporated and is on railroad.
Cheap power is developed from gov
ernment dam, and contracts for supply
ing some of it for Lighting Rupert and
for commercial and manufacturing pur-
poses have been approved by the secre-
tary of the interior. Rupert already
has on $4,000 public school, sew
eral fraternal societies, five churches
and womans' culture club.

The Juvenile Club was formally
organized Saturday evening, at which
time about forty of the boys of the
town congregated at the Woodliff
building on Carson street, where they
listened to a talk from Shorty
Wheeler, the leading spirit in the
movement to provide place for the
boys that will suffice to keep them off
the streets. Mr.. Wheeler explained
to the lads present the object of the
organization and promised them a
reading room and fully equipped
gymnasium. Already considerable
paraphernalia has been ordered.

hearty appreciation of the efforts ir
their behalf.

Money In Small Dairying.

Talk about the high cost of living,
dairying in a small way even seems to
open up chance to those who engage
10 it to live high. and then make pro-
fit. A few cows and careful attention
will make a man independent if one
can produce milk and butter and but-
termilk as does Z. F. Greenman of Ash
land. Mr.. Greenman says that from
four cows, which at present constitute
the little herd on his place in the east
crn suburbs of Ashland. he sold milk,
butter and buttermilk to the aggregate
value of s93 during the month of Janu-
AIRY just past. The feed cost him s33
for the same period, leaving net re-
turn of $50 as reward for the labor
involved in caring for the four cows
and their products. Of course, he
bought his hay at harvest time when II
was s12 per ton and he feeds beets and
carrots freely which he either grew
himself or purchased at reasonable
prices. Ashland, Ore, Tidings.

Sad Death of Gail Pelton.

Gail Pelton, the beloved son of Mr..
and Mrs. c. T. Pelton, passed away at
the Red Cross hospital in Reno last
Thursday evening, aged II years.
On the day following, his remains
were brought to Fallon. and Sunday
afternoon simple and impressive cere-
monies were held at the Baptist church
by Rev. VIM. McCart.
Gail was youth of manly qualities,
and withal was quite an unusual boy.
He accompanied his father here some
two years ago, to assist him in hewing
out home on the homestead selection
south of town and his frankness, indus
try and kind consideration for those
about him made friends of all who knew
him. His loss is distinct one to his
parents, who are heartbroken over the
taking of their child, who had previous

Forger Sailing Bound Over.


Walter Sailing was arraigned Friday
in the court of the United States Com
missioner in San Francisco. The case
OF the government consisted of the evil
dence submitted by A. H. Gullickson,
A. L. Rosenberg and Dick Swope, who
testified that Sailing was forger and
gave detailed evidence relative to the
several distinct crimes he committedy
while acting as Paymaster Gullickson's
assistant in this place. Like all critn-
inals, born to the manner, Sailing in
criminated himself by his talk and made
it possible for the government to pross
ecute him, for he admitted that he was
fugitive from justice during the time
elapsing between the commission of
the crime and now, in which case. it is
claimed the statute of limitations does
not operate in his favor.
After listening to the evidence, Sals
ing, who was represented by his att)r-
ney, was bound over under bonds Of
$4,000 to appear before the federal court
when it again convenes at Carson City.

THE TRUCKEEEE- CARSON PROJECT
Has A Great Future According
To Fl. Gullickson, Govern
ment Paymaster.

A. II. Gullickson, who was formerly
government disbursing agent for this
project. and was later transferred to
the Sunnyside project in North Yakima
country, where he has served in a like
capacity for three years, stated recently
while in San Francisco that although
land values had reached tremendous
figures in his section, the Sunnysidc
country did not have superior natural
resources when compared to those to
be found in this project. There, b,
said a million acres of land is being
subdued, and twenty government con-
struction camps are now operating.
Ordinary raw sagebrush land is selling
for $75, while alfalfa land averages in
value around $500, and orchard lands
are actually selling in some instances
for $1,000 to $4,000 per acre. The coun-
try is doomed and is attracting larg,
numbers of eastern colonists, who TAX
very kindly to the irrigation propag-
anda.
But IN continuing the subject, he sal
that he would like very much to
be able TO effect transfer back to this
section, if for no other reason than to
be able to acquire land here
the values of which, he feels sure, will
follow in the wake Of the Sunnysid,
project land. In that district, climatic
conditions are hardly as ideal as are to
be found here, and the only advantage
70 be found there is the great coloniz-
ing influence which is actively at work
bringing people from the four quarters
of the globe.
Gullickson predicted great future for
this project, and believes, along with
most other people, who are passing
judgment these days, that the Truckee-
Carson project will become Uncle
Sans banner project, for good land is
here in plenty and its development is
now more actively in progress than
ever before.

THE MANNER OF TAKING STOCK
Is Now Agitating Certain OF
Nevada's Counties. New
Methods Proposed.

Stockmen, and especially those who
are engaged in shipping stock from
other localities to this valley to be fed,
are not altogether satisfied with the
present manner of taxing beef cattle,
saws the Record Courier The law, it
seems, compels the commissioners to
make the tax levy on or before the first
day of March of each year, which
necessitates action being taken at their
February meeting. 1t is then the
sworn duty of the assessor to collect
taxes On all beef cattle being shipped
from the county.
The shipment of beef usually begins
in January and ENDS about the last Of
March. Those who ship before the tax
levy is made, avoid the necessity of
paying the tax, while those who are
unable to ship until after the tax is
levied are forced to pay the tax, and
naturally feel that the law is discrimi-
natory in a measure.
1t seems to be the general opinion
as far as we have learned, that it
would be more satisfactory should the
tax levy be made at the first meeting
of the Commissioners in January, thus
correcting the present differences, by
making it necessary TO pay the tax
from the beginning of January instead
of the first Monday in February.
1t is said that in Elko county no tax
is collected from those who ship cattle
there to be fed, and upon that plea an
effort has been made to establish a
similar concession to outside cattle men
here, and while some taxpayers would
favor the adoption OF such plan, Others
differ, believing that it would not be
just.
This same question has been the
source of considerable agitation for
several years.

TOOMEY ESTATE LANDS SOLD
Sierra Realty Co. of Reno and
G. w. Latin Buy Parcels
At Saturdays Sale.

The Toomey real estate sale, which
occurred at the home place near the
Lem Allen ranch Saturday afternoon,
was quite largely attended by interested
persons, who made bidding quite lively.
The larger parcel, comprising 280 acres
of land, of which l26 acres carry a
vested water right was sold to j. B.
Jones, representing the Sierra Realty
Company, of Reno, for $7,050, after
Albert johnson had bid $1,000 fiat.
This parcel of land includes also the
forty acre tract of timber on the river
bottom as well as the home place
Improvements, including barn and or
chards, etc.
The entrance of the Sierra people into
the local field bespeaks some very act
i've land development, according TO Mr..
Jones, who stated to the editor of this
paper that work would be rushed on the
place with view to placing every unused
acre in alfalfa. Contracts have already
been let for levelng and seeding, so it
is said. Later on the 2s0 acres will be
subdivided into smaller tracts, of per-
haps fourty acres each and sold to
homeseekers.
The lesser piece, comprising so acres
of land, was sold to G. w. Latin, of
south of town, who recently came here
from South Dakota to make his home
among US, and his acquisition of local
realty bespeaks lot of faith in the
future of this section. Certainly, he
came here imbued with the idea that
the country is on the upward trend,
and we need lot more people of Mr..
Lattin's stamp.
This sale of roomey estate realty
adds something over $4,000 to the es-
tate fund and in addition to clearing all
indebtedness, a handsome margin will
be left for final distribution among the
heirs of the estate. There now remains
considerable personal property, a part
of the home ranch and valuable town
property, TO still be disposed of. 1t
would seem that Hon. w. w. Williams,
as administrator, has handled the affairs
Of the estate in highly creditable and
business like manner, saving through
good business judgment much that
would otherwise have been lost to the
estate.

RAILROAD COMMISSION BRIEF
Has Been Submitted In Reno,
Great Fight For Terminal
Rates.

The Nevada Railroad Commission has
completed its reply brief in the case
against the Southern Pacific Company,
The Nevada and California Railroad
Company and number of other roads.
In this brief Attorney General Stod-
dard and Attorney H. F. Bartine, who
is also a Commissioner, fay the at
torneys for the Southern Pacific Com
pany. Tney go into the testimony Of
the different witnesses who testified
before the Interstate Commerce Com
missioners in Reno and declare that
the Nevada commission has made out
a strong case and one that should win
for Reno the lower freight rates prayed
for.
The brief of the Nevada Railroad
Commission declares that the brief Of
the railroad attorneys contain little
of worth, and that the defendant s
counsel took up much space in ''cheap
satire. They then take up fourty
printed pages in going into the de-
tails of the case, which is now before
the Interstate Commerce Committee.
The brief sets forth that the South
ern Pacific attorneys misquoted the
evidence when they said that Reno
boasted of population of $4,000. The
testimony was that Reno has popula-
ton of about Is, 600, and that it would
have so, 600 if the rates prayed for
were secured. The brief Of the Ne
vada Commissioners also shows that in
preparing their brief the attorneys for
the railroad company made quite a
mistake in placing Reno geographic
ally.
The brief emphatically denies the
statement of the railroad attorneys
that this is a jobbers' fight and that
only jobbers will be benefited by the
rate, in case it should be granted to
Reno. The brief of the Southern Pa
cific officials, under the head ''The
Natural Transcontinental Reno Rate"
tries to make it appear that the COM
bination on the Sacramento rate gives
Reno better rate than the Ogden
combination would, and that therefore
Reno has nothing to complain of. In
reply to this the attorneys for the Rail-
road Commission say:
at doesn't seem to occur to counsel
that both combinations may be and,
as we have proved, are, unreasonably
and excessive. Simply calling rate
natural does not make it reasonable,
just or fair.
The brief goes into detail concern
ing water tonnage, water competition
terminal rates and other things that
go to make up rates, and in each in
stance shows where Reno is not given
the benefit she should have.
The claim is made by the attorneys
for the Commission that J. c. Stubs
Traffic Manager of the Hartman sys
tenn, made statements contradictory t.
those made by other officials of th'
company in regard to rates.

The committee appointed to confer
with Hinze Brothers at Santa Ana and
to investigate conditions as they exist
in that prosperous California communi-
ty, after the initial years operation,
returned home last week, and met with
the interested population of the valley
Monday afternoon at the court house.
A report dealing with their observations
was submitted to the meeting, and it
treated quite extensively of conditions
as they we're found by Messrs. X. l..
Douglass, Thomas Dolf, Sam Rosen-
b. rg and F. M. Wightman, keen, dis
corning gentlemen, who were selected
for the responsible task of getting in
touch with beet matters and to deter
mine just what value, if any, the in
dustry bears in its relations to a COM
munity.
The report follows:
In pursuance to the motion that a
committee be appointed to visit Santa
Ana and investigate all facts pertinent
to the sugar beet factory, your chair
man appointed R. L. Douglass, F. M.
Wightman and S. Rosenberg members
of that committee and accompanied by
said gentlemen proceeded to Santa Ana.
where individually and collectively
they made thorough investigation of
the various aspects Of all the questions
of interest to you.
We visited the factory and found a
magnificent building, A II" in all re.
spects; that the expert employed by
the sugar company at the time of ac-
ceptance of the plant stated that the
building was first class and up to date
in every respect. We next made per-
sistant inquiries as to the factory and
its operation; everybody was glad of
its presence, it meant a new industry,
a larger, more prosperous town town
with pay roll. Land used for sugar
beets went up in value. Some land
containing much alkali which formerly
produced practic ally nothing and sold
for about S15 an acre is now growing
beets and is valued and selling at s20o
per acre. Among the farmers and
lessees we found enthusiasm and salts
faction, and in no case could we find
where grower quit, or was not intend
ing to increase his acreage.
We interviewed the Hinse Brothers
time ard time again, we showed no deli
cacy in our ques tions, we examined and
cross examined them and inspected the
books, and state thisin conclusion; that
the factory in Santa Ana on a $500, 900
investment and partial first year s
run cleared 1890 or over 25 per
cent; that all of the stockholders,
were satisfied with their invest
ment, and to show further the attrac-
tiveness of sugar beet factory 10 fl
nancial interests, will say, that a new
factory by other people is about to be
constructed in that district, which al
ready has three factories,
Step by step we proceeded and come
to the all important one the financial.

FaIlon Will Have Cleanup Day.

The city authorities are planning for
a general town cleanu p
day and the cooperation of the local
property owners is desired in the movc-
ment. Rubbish in yards should be
dumped in convenient place after be-
ing raked up by the property owner
and wagons will haul the rubbish away
to be destroyed. Fallon certainly needs
cleansing, for dirt is in evidence on
every hand, and it is up to the resi-
dents of the town to assist in this move-
ment.

Smallpox In Indian Camps.

Smallpox was discovered in two OF
the nearby Indian camps yesterday and
a quarantine was Immediately estab-
lished against the Piutes, who will be
kept under surveillance until the disease
has been eradicated. The cases devel.
oped are of an extremely mild form
and presumably were developed from
exposure to infected families within
the town. where Indian washerwomen
were employed. No fear is entertained
of further spread of the disease.

Dogs Form Subject of Council Order

The city council met Monday even
ing and transacted minor business,
among which was an order instructing
the city marshal to stop boys from
catching dogs in the future. For some
time past it has been practice for
Youngsters to lassoe dogs and take
them to the pound receiving twenty
five cents for each canine un-
lucky enough to come within their reach.
The marshal will also be required by
the order to produce the scalps of dogs
killed before payment will be made
for the service.

Id THE BEET SUGAR MOVEMENT
The Leaven Is Working And Short Time Will De-
termine The Movements Of The HINES
Who May Come Here

After a lengthy and exhaustive review
of this aspect we agreed to the follow
ing; that Hinze Brothers ano associates
are to raise within two weeks $500, 900
and when that amount is assured to the
committee, that said committee will
Immediately set about to raise a like
amount using not only Churchill coun-
ty, but other districts of Nevada as a
field to canvass, being that a factory
would be a benefit to all of western
Nevada.
Ii this proposition cannot be carried
out at once, we earnestly recommend
and urge that the matter be not drop
ped but that a permanent committee
be appointed having the support of the
people back of it to push the PROPOSE
tion to successful CONCLUSION,
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS DOLF,
r. L. DOUGLASS,
F. M. WIGHTMAN,
SAM ROSENBERG.
The investigating committee acted
in purely public spirited capacity, the
members defraying their own expenses
on the trip and they are entitled to the
thanks of the people of the valley.
In discussing the local situation with
members of the committee, the Hinze
Brothers stated that should they be
able to come here every energy would
be exerted to complete the plant during
the present year, and that an initial
run would be made in the event of the
completion of the plant and the furnish
Ing of supply of sugar beets. In
connection with the latter subject the
HINES stated that they would be satis-
fed with ten thousand ton production
of sugar beets during the present year.
The raising of this amount would be
largely educational to new beet men,
who are just taking to the idea.
Concerning the plant, about which
so much has been said, the HINES
talked frankly, informing the COM
.mittee that second hand plant now
Hes unoperated in either Utah or Colo
rado that can be purchased at great
saving, and that its efficiency has never
been impaired. They proposed that the
entire board of directors ac-
company them and look the machinery
over and assume joint responsibility
should the purchase be made.
The Hinze Brothers stated to the
committee that ten days or two weeks
would witness turning point in their
affairs and that this period would de-
termine their future movements. In
the meantime matters will be held in
allegiance pending definite news from
the HINES.
Chairman Thomas Dolf was empow-
cred to appoint committee to act joint
ly with him, whose duty it will be to
transact further business arising in con-
nection with the matter of arranging
for organizing the beet sugar cor
poration, when things will be defined,
and the work can be handled by the
company.
