LIGHT CASES OF SMALLPOX
Exist In This Community But
There Is No Cause For
Alarm.

About month ago a mysterious
stranger appeared on the streets of
fallon with an eruption covered face,
which attracted more or less attention,
but caused no concern and the individual
disappeared IN the course of a few
days. When a reasonable incubation
period had passed several cases of So
called smallpox developed among our
inhabitants and measures are now
being taken by the board of health,
which met Monday evening, to stamp
out the disease and prevent further
spread. A pest house has been estab-
lished in the eastern part of town,
where two cases are now being cared
for.
The type of disease is mild, conform
ing to that which has been going the
inter-mountain rounds for years, and
not being of malignant form will doubt
less disappear soon, with as little ado
as that which characterized it's entrance
into our town. So far the number of
cases has not exceeded a half dozen
and there is no reason to become
alarmed.
In connection with the subject of
smallpox, it should be stated that the
disease has manifested itself this year
over a greater area of the west than
for several years before. The Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys in
California are laboring with the disease
in epidemic form and many schools are
closed down, while to the cast in Utah
the disease is rampant.

FORGING ROGUE SHOWS up
Man Who Duped Fallon Busi-
ness Men Is In Port
land.

Walter Sailing, who was employed
at reclamation headquarters about
three years ago, and has since been
wanted for forging checks just prior to
his taking his leave, has been located
at Portland, Oregon, and may be
brought back by the federal authorities.
Sailing forged the name of Paymaster
A. II. Gullickson to checks aggregating
in amount around five hundred dollars
and hastily made his getaway. Among
those caught at the time were the
Churchill County Bank and S. Rosen-
berg & Company. Subsequently a
warrant for arrest was issued by the
editor of this paper, who was then
United States Commissioner, but
the warrant vas never served, for
Sailing merged his identity in an un-
known community.
The sheriff's Office received what
looks like an anonymous communication
the first Of the week, giving Sailing s
present address as Portland. Oregon.
It is possible that ITncle Sans officers
may yet locate the forger and bring
him back for trial, but unless it is
accomplished soon, the statute of
limitations will operate to his benefit
and his prosecution will be impossible.

Aftermath of The Judgship Embroglio.

Judge Pixies recent decision to fore
go the resignation stunt slated by
previous agreement with his colleague,
Judge John s. Orr, has worked havoc
with the aspirations of District Attor-
ney L. A. Dueker over in Humboldt
county. In this county, the situation
was regarded with a lukewarmness
that is said to be responsible for Judge
Pixies attitude. Things were pretty
well cut and dried in fact Judge Orr
carried his message to Humboldt faith
fully and the news was well received,
but Judge Pixies mission to this county
was not so successful. He found things
here in a sort of foment. according to
published statement, which is contained
in the following paragraph. Because
of this there will be no designations
and the same old mills of justice will
operate under the same old whipmas-
ters until next year, when their duly
elected successors will have qualified.
Last week. Judge Pike went to
Churchill county to complete some un-
finished business and while there, he
learned Of complications and objec-
tions, which until overcome, would
make it impracticable for us to resign;
and because of these circumstances,
there will be no designations as con-
templated.

Stockmen of Other Counties Want
Our Alfalfa.

Local hay dealers have received re-
quests for baled alfalfa during the past
few days approximating train load,
but no attempt has been made to fill
the orders for the reason that local
conditions presage the need of the
entire available supply in our own
valley before another crop has been
cut The orders have come principally
form the Sierra Nevada mountains
country and Elko and Humboldt coun-
ties. Stockmen in the last two named
counties are making diligent search for
forage for their suffering stock. This
hay county in the state and in time the
entire west.

REDEMPTION OF OUR SCRIP
VIII Soon Occur. The Govern.
ment Has Finally Approved
Payment.

Word was received this week by Pro
iect Engineer Thomas II. Means from
the department at Washington that
the plan for payment of project scrip
had been finally approved and that pay
ment would soon follow. The North
Platte project will be the first to re-
ceive coin of the realm on the paper
that has been in so bad disrepute, and
following the example at North Platte,
the other projects affected will follow
in rapid sequence. Mr.. Means was
not informed of the manner of pay
ment of scrip.
Some issues back this paper pub
lished what was purported TO be an in
terview with Secretary Ballinger upon
the subject, in which he gave it out
that inasmuch as claims against the
government are not assignable, the
government could not, in making scrip
payments, recognize assignes who had
received the scrip as legal tender, but
that payment would necessarily have
to to be made to the party Of the first
part, who is construed by the secretary
to be the person who did the actual
work.
The amount of cooperative scrip
now held in this valley is said to total
around 1900 and its transfer for
actual cash will be welcome in maay
instances, for many of the parties Who
hold scrip are greatly in need of either
its recognition as legal tender for
water payments or redemption by cash.

Fulton II. Sears Returns Home.

Fulton H. Sears and twelve-year-old
daughter Jessie, arrived home Thurs
day from Chicago. Mr.. Sears recently
went to the Windy City to attend to
business matters, while his daughter
has been in Chicago undergoing treat
ment for her eyes. Mr.. Sears is glad
to be home and says that Chicago has
been undergoing an extremely hard
winter. 1t cost the city around a
million dollars to clean the streets of
snow, to say nothing of the millions it
cost to maintain service of all kinds.
Travelling out of Chicago aud during
the entire trip across the continent
nothing but mantle of white greeted
the eye, according to Mr.. Sears.

People Keep Coming To Locate.

Despite the unusual weather quite a
number of undaunted homeseekers
have lately selected this section as the
place for future BODYBUILDING endeavor.
In connection with the subject of
weather it should be stated that while
ordinarily the temperature of other
intermountain sections average around
ten to twenty degrees lower than here,
we have succeeded in eclipsing them
all this winter, with the exception of
the Eko country. In some manner,
the cold wave got us in its grasp and
gave us taste of the Arctic regions.

Lyon County Seat Fight Now in Form
of Petition.

Fernley, that bustling community in
the extreme western end of the Truckee-
Carson project, which belongs, geo.
graphically. socially and commercially
to Churchill county, and but awaits
the opportunity to call the territory its
own, was visited last week by County
Commissioner Strosnider and Mr..
Kaufman, both of Yerington, who were
seeking signers to a petition asking
that the county seat fight be simplified
by taking the matter out of the hands
of Lyon county's executive board and
deciding the question, which is a burn
ing one, by the direct vote of the people.
Those who live in the Fernley district
see in the move additional signs of
Yerington's activity to grab the county
capital honors from Dayton, for it is
figured that in vote on the question,
Yerington will have little difficulty in
securing the coveted honor.
Should the location of the court house
be moved from Dayton to 4erington,
those who live within the Fernley dis
trict say that additional hardships will
be placed upon them in reaching their
countys seat of government and
naturally they dislike the idea.

Company. The products of this COM

Maestretti Brothers Suffer Big Stock
Loss.

A bunch of cattle, comprising sew
eral hundred head, was turned loose in
the Chalk Mountain district last week,
after start had been made from the
eastern part of the county with this
section as the objective point, where
the cattle could be fed The inability
of the cattle, already weakened by the
extreme cold and lack of forage on the
range, made the action necessary, accord
ing to the owners, who after goading
the leg weary animals to within two
days travelling distance of this place
were forced to turn them aside to rus
tie for themselves as best they can.
Under the present conditions there is
little hope that many of the cattle will
live until the new grass of the spring
sprouts and the Maestretti loss will
perhaps be recorded as Churchill coun-
tvs heaviest stock loss of this season.
