VIII Import Pheasants.

Game Warden N. r. Fitzpatrick is
contemplating purchasing fifty pairs of
Oregon ring necked pheasants for
propagation purposes and the local
sportsmen who have not done so are
requested to take out their 1910 hunt
ing licenses so that the game fund may
be added to in sufficient amount to allow
paying for the birds. 1t is said that
the pheasants can be purchased in Den-
yer for IS per pair, which is quite a
saving over the Oregon prices, where
evidently pheasant trust has been
organized. Recently, our fellow towns
man John Dunbar sent for an Oregon
pheasant hen and the single bird cost
him in the neighborhood of Sc, a price
that practically prohibits buying in
quantity.
The ring necked pheasant is par
tic1larly hardy bird and breeds as
prolifically as the barnyard chicken,
one pair often producing 100 young
during a favorable season. The am.
bition of Mr.. Fitzpatrick is a laudable
one.

FALLOn'S SEWAGE AND WATER
Council WrestIes With Problems
And Concludes to Go Ahead
With the Bond Issues.

The city council met Tuesday even
ing and received and approved the re-
port of City Engineer E. p. Osgood,
dealing with the proposed sewage sys-
tenn for Fallon. Mr.. Osgood made an
exhaustive report of the local conditions
including preliminary surveys, and he
estimates that sewer mains can be laid
along the alleys in the rear of both
lines of business buildings on Maine
street, with certain other ramifications
and extended to point on New river
on the j. w. Ferguson property for a
sum approxImating $1,000. Included
in the improvements possible to install
for this sum, according to Mr.. Osgood,
is septic tank of adequate size for the
care of Fallon sewage for long time
to come.
The survey demonstrated that nine
foot fall can be had from Williams
avenue to New river, a comparatively
short distance, while by going 3OO0
feet further east as originally contem-
plated but fourteen-foot would be
had. In order to utilize the present
plans of the city engineer, it will first
be necessary to get Mr.. Ferguson s
consent for the installation of septic
tank on his ranch.
At the regular meeting of the council
which occurs next Tuesday evening, an
ordinance will be introduced authorizing
the issuance of sewage and water bonds,
and 1t will be acted upon a month
later, following which protests, If any,
must be made. II is said at this time
that the matter Of issuing bonds will be
put to vote Of the towns electorate.

THE NEVADA SUGAR COMPANY
Prosecutes Work on Factory Pro-
ject. Structural Steel Or
dered. Payments Brisk.

The Nevada Sugar Company, which
is essentially Nevada enterprise is
making strong and logical demands for
recognition. While the enterprise
is pri arily Churc |
county's because this section
appealed strongest to the very capable
men behind the project as site for
future operations, it is a fact that
country wide business will be transacted
within another year bringing state
wide benefit, thus making of the enter
prise a business of state wide i'm
portance.
A meeting of the board of directors
was held Tuesday afternoon, at which
time uncompieted prelimineries were
taken up and disposed of. Fred Hinze,
the company's manager, gave de-
tailed report of the progress made so
far Included among his recent
transactions on behalf of the company,
was the ordering of the necessary
structural steel for the factory buildings.
To show that the company means
business and wants its order taken
seriously an initial payment of $4,000
was made to the steel manufacturers.
In the meantime, work at the factory
site continues. Preparations are being
made TO burn the brick which will en-
ter into the construction of the factory
walls, while the stone for the buildings
is being quarried. The Office building
is complete and ready for occupancy.
Manager Fred Hinze, to whom sugar
factory construction is no new thing,
will have charge of the building Of the
factory and installation of all machinery.
1t is given out that the payments for
subscribed stock are being received in
highly satisfactory manner and the
fondest expectations of those behind
the project are being realized. Matters
have progressed to that point where
doubt has been wholly removed and
confidence is the order of the times.
w. E. Frazier and DR.. c. A. Hascall
will shortly be returned to the work of
signing up beet acreage, the former
covering this valley, while Dir. Hascall
will be dispatched to the Humboldt,
Truckee and Walker valleys, to again
interview the farmers of those sections
and induce them to work for year or
two at least for Churchill's factory.
The Southern Pacific Company has
generously agreed to haul all beets
within a radius of one hundred miles of
the factory for 55 cents per ton, thus
making it possible for the farmers of
nearby agricultural sections to enter
actively into the sugar beet cultivation.
Seven thousand acres are wanted and
the agents are going to exert every
energy in order to get this amount.

WORK At CAMP GREGORY
Will Soon Be on Larger Scale
Than Ever. w. l.. Cook
Leaves for Boston.

w. L. Cook, of Camp Gregory, ac-
companied by Mrs. Cook, left on yes
terday's train for Boston, Massachu-
setts, where Mr.. Cook will be busted
for month with detail work connected
with the development of the Scotia
property, which is even now being
passed upon by competent engineers.
The group of claims are situated some
twelve miles to the southwest of Fallon
and it is said that very encouraging
formations have been encountered.
Development work of an approximate
cost of $40, 900 has already been COM
pleted and it is believed that the
recommendation of Messrs. f. P. Os-
good and o. E. Roadhouse will carry
among other things the idea of sinking
an additional one hundred feet. The
report will be made public in full detail
within few weeks.
During Mr.. Cooks s absence the force
at the mine will be reduced from five
to two, but upon his return, work will
again be taken up even more actively
than before. OF the various mining
enterprises that have had Fallon for
their entrepot, the Scotia is among the
most popular, for it has seemed purely
local enterprise, the success of which
would reflect prosperity directly upon
this community. Mr.. Cook, the mana
ger, is a gentleman, an
labors along conscientious lines; his
business methods arc ideal and this
community wants to see him succeed.
and is optimistic of his ability to succeed.

No Other Banks Affected By Eureka
Failure.

That none of the other banks of the
state will be affected by the closing of
the Eureka County Bank is the posi-
tive assurance given by Sam Belford,
one of the members of the State Board
of Bank Commissioners. He says that
the affairs of all. the other banks are
in an admirable condition.
The Banking Board was not in ses-
sion yesterday but will probably be in
session in day or SO. w. B. Fowler,
assistant to the encouragement, left
yesterday for Eureka, where he will
make application before Judge Breen to
have receiver appointed for the
Eureka bank. Mr.. Van Fleet, the State
Bank Examiner. has already taken
charge and is making thorough inves-
cation. His report will not be availa-
Bile for several days. Carson Appeal.

Obituary.

H. r. Southern passed away at his
home north of town last Thursday
morning, aged 80 years. Deceased left
a widow and child in addition to mum.
erous relatives in Virginia. He came
to this section about five years ago
seeking relief from consumption, which
later became aggravated. For two
years the ultimate end was certain.
Funeral services were held at the
Episcopal church Saturday afternoon,
at which time Rev. Smith spoke inn
pressive words. The Knights of Pythias
and the Esgles lodges, of which the
deceased was a member. attended in a
body.
The widow and little child left Tues
day with the remains of the husband
and father and their sad mission will
not be ended until they arrive in Rich
mond, Virginia, where the parents of
the deceased reside and where the re-
mains will be inferred.

PROJECT CONTEST CASES
Special Agent Here and Hears
Evidence of Eight Con-
tested Entrymen.

w. j. Lewis, an attorney who is con-
nected with the western field division
of the general land office. was busted
several days last week and the first of
this week with hearing the evidence in
the governments contest against the
entries of half dozen of Uncle Sam S
project entrymen. Those contested are:
Chas. Baker, c. NJ. Wainscott, James
E. Nugent, Morris Downey, George L.
Loughton, B. S. Bill, John Yer
ant and Jerome Higman. In all cases
the basis of contest was alleged nom
residence, and with one exception it
was sought to disprove this charge
The testimony taking was before U.
S. Commissioner d. E. Williams.
Throughout the entire proceedings Mr..
Lewis showed himself to be a fair s6rt
of government employe, whose interpre-
tation of his sworn duty of upholding
the interests of his employer does not
conflict with fair dealing. He made
friends of the entrymen whose cases he
handled. In times past we have had
special agents in this neck of the woods
who arrogantly took unto themselves
many privileges not accorded by the
government blue book, among which
was impertinence and failure to recog-
nize rights belonging TO local people.

Eastgate Being Investigated.

G. w. Rata, mining broker of San
Francisco, and A. c. Morrison, his
mining expert, returned Monday
from Eastgate, where they spent
several days investigating the Gold
Northern group of claims. and they
brought with them several hundred
pounds of samples, which will determine
whether or not the offer of sale of W.
w. Williams will be accepted or re-
fused. Monday night Rata and his
expert continued on to their home and
several days will be required before
their decision will be made known.
Senator Williams refused to acquaint
US with his offer, so we do not know
what sum his stipulations carry, but
it is considerable.
Mr.. Morrison stated on his return
here that the Gold Northern had all
the superficial indications of a mine
and that a lot of further development
work is warranted by the showings
already uncovered. To date, some-
thing like $4,000 has been expended in
developing the group of claims and
many highly flattering assay tests
have been made.

Project WATER PAYMENTS
Are being Made by Practically
Every Water User in
The Project.

What is really Uncle Sans first pay
nm season in this project has been in
proeress throughout this month, and
the real rush came this week, as today
is the last upon which payments cover
ing construction charges can be made.
Those failing will shortly be confronted
with an abbreviated demand wanting
to know the why's. etc, and the usual
period will be given to tell your troubles
to the higher ups. 1t is believed that
further leniency will not be shown and
with this idea uppermost in local
peoples minds, practically all of the
water users have met the government
pay up demands.
According to the figures furnished
this office there are about 500 farms
now receiving water from the Truckee-
Carson system, of which 1928 are home
steads. OF the 1923 entrymen, II were
delinquent on March 10th on the 1907
and 1908 payments and on the
same date 126 were delinquent
on the single 1908 payment.
At the time of preparing the statistics,
1t was conceded by the project authori-
ties that 35 of the total number of de-
linquents would not be able to pay,
but genuine surprise has been afford
ed inasmuch as it is now given out that
less than half this number will actually
go delinquent.
The amount Of money, in round num-
bers, that has been paid into the recla-
nation fund by project water users.
since last November, is s65, 900 of
which more than $4,000 has been sent
out from this community in actual coin
and currency during the present month.
Tuesday and yesterday were the big
pay up days, the money order receipts
Of the local post office surprising all
previous records, according to post
mistress Callie Ferguson, who wrote
money orders on these two days for
$1,000 in round numbers. In addition
to this sum several thousand dollars
was sent by Wells, Fargo express.
The largest individual project water
user is State Senator r. l.. Douglass,
whose payments this year for wnter
totaled ~, 800.
The fact that but around five per
cent of the project water users will al
low their water rights TO become de-
linquent, tends to prove that local peo-
pie can raise money when 1t is abso-
lutely required, although there is no
doubt but that extreme straits have
been resorted to in many instances.

Hixson Looks at Our Salt.

]. F. Hixson, district freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pacific,
made a trip last Thursday to the Sand
Springs salt deposits acting under in
structions from the general offices of
the company, which has lately, SC we
are told, been fully informed of the
tremendous tonnage possible under
proper conditions.
Upon his return to Fallon, Mr.. Hix-
son would not discuss the conclusions
resulting from his observations, but he
certainly witnessed natural phenome-
non and one that is said t. be capable
of producing annually many hundred
thousands of tons of the purest COM
mercial table salt.
