FORMER FAllON|TE INJURED
George Bentz Victim of Dyna-
mite in Lakeview, Ore
gon Section.

George Bentz, formerly associated
with the Berney brothers in the con-
duct of blacksmith shop in this place,
suffered serious injuries while blast
ing in cut in the Lakeview, Oregon,
district Saturday. One of Bentz's CO.
workers, Albert Nelson, also suffered
serious injuries as a result of the pre-
mature explosion. Bentz's hand was
badly torn and he suffered serious in
ternal injuries, while Nelson will likely
lose the sight of both his eyes as a re-
suit of the unfortun ate accident.
The injured men were taken by con-
veyance from Lakeview to Madeline
and from there to Reno on the N. C.
& o., from where they were taken to
San Francisco hospital Monday night.
The nature of the trip was such that
both men suffered untold agony before
reaching the hospital where remedial
treatment could be given.

plosion. 1t seems that several holes
had been sprung and loaded and that
the men were resting nearby when
through some unaccountable cause the
premature blast occurred. Bentz, who
was nearest the charge, was blown
about forty feet.
Mr.. Beniz has many friends in this
section who will regret learning of his
unfortunate accident.
Our Lakeview letter states that E.
S. Berney and wife. and Miss Gertie

Dildine, all Fallon folks, are enjoying
good health and yearning for sight Of
of this great valley. Lakeview is be-
ing favored with real winter weather.

NEVADA SUGAR POSSIBILITIES
General Manager Fred Hinze of
Nevada Sugar Co. Says
They Are Bright.

General Manager Fred Hinze, of the
Nevada Sugar Company, has addressed
the following letter to the Nevada
State journal, of Reno:
Dec. 9th, 1910.
Nevada State Journal,
Reno, Nevada.
Gentlemen:
herewith enclose you a pamphlet
of the possibilities of the beet culture
in the Truckee-Carson project and
around Reno, and in fact over the
whole state of Nevada. If you can
make use of any article out of this
please do so.
Let me call your attention to the fact
that this undertaking of building a
beet sugar factory here at Fallon is the
greatest opportunity the state of Ne
vada has ever had for the agricultural
industry. 1t does not matter what re-
sources of mining interests the state
has if the agricultural industry is not
good az it will never make rich or in
dependent state for there must be so
much money sent away from the state
tor food that is consumed by the popu-
lation.
The are number of valleys in this
state where there is room for a beet
sugar factory. and experience has
proved whenever a beet sugar factory
gets in the community or state the
agricultural department in general
takes greater activity, as the farmers
who raise sugar beets know where they
have the market for their products and
receive ready cash when the crop is
harvested and not rely on any outside
buyer to give what they please for
their products.
Let me call attention to the state of
Colorado. which was practically nothing
but mining state ten years ago.
When the writer was through that
state ten years ago and saw vast
prairie land, the only thing raised was
alfalfa and little grain; at the present
time there are sixteen factories in
operation with beet slicing capacity
of l2,200 tons daily and it is largest
beet producing state in the Union.
We have the same opportunity in this
state and | think the time will come
when we will rank with that state, but
we must have the cooperation Of
every citizen, farmer, merchant and
capitalist to make this first factory n
grand success.
For our own satisfaction we have
sent seed to this state and had a num-
Der of patches of sugar beets grown,
and every patch has shown higher per
centage OF sugar than we have ever
found elsewhere, and we are positive
that it will be great success financially.
The climatic conditions in this state
are ideal for the sugar beet culture.
Any support you can give US will be
highly appreciated.
Yours truly,
FRED HINZE.

LOVELOCK INSTALLS
CATCH BASINS

Three "catch basins" have been in
stalled with the Lovelock sewer system
by the cement workers who are doing
the construction work
The basins are designed to catch and
settle the storm waters that run into
the cutters at street corners. After
the fluid settles it runs out through a
pipe at the top to a connection with
the sewer. The basins are about five
feet deep and have cast iron tops be-
ing constructed of concrete. Connec-
tions with the sewer system are pro-
crossing slowly. Ten have been COM
pleted so far.
The expense is the only reason that
can be assigned to the slowness of
the work. The recent rain storms
have proved the efficiency of the
sewers where they have been installed,
however, as most of the streets are
in good condition

UNITED STATES
HAS Big LIBRARY

Within few years the Library of
Congress will occupy the supreme po-
sition in numerical strength among the
libraries of the world. 1t now ranks
third, with the Bibliotheque Rationale
and the British Museum holding first
and second places. The annual report
of Librarian Putnam has been submit
ted to Congress. 1t shows that in the
year 1909-10 there were added 80, 4S7
volumes, making the total possessions
of the library in printed volumes 1,793,-
158. There are 118, 165 maps and charts;
5l7.8 volumes and pieces of music
and 800, 25l prints.
During the period 1908-9 the addi-
tions to the British Museum are stated
to have been 149, ,464, the Bibliotheque
Rationale 166, ,634 and the Library of
Congress 425, ,925. Librarian Putnam
argues that from these comparisons
the congressional institution will sur
pass its two rivals within few years.

The Southen Pacific will shortly in
stall motor car service between Reno
and Fallon and will at once add an
other coach to the Fallon train leav-

No. 10, according to Superintendent
Bell of the railroad company who was
recently at Fallon.
Business from that town is increas-
ing continually and it now warrants
the improvement of the service from
that point. II is expected that con-
siderable passenger traffic will be pro-

YOUTHS COMPANION
BEST CHILD'S PAPER
A dispatch from St. Louis says:

A dispatch from ST. Louis says:
Arrangements for through freight
service on convenient schedules, from
st. Louis to San Francisco were dis
cussed Thursday at conference of
leading traffic officials of the Missouri
Pacific, the Rio Grande and the West
ern Pacific in the Missouri Pacific bull
ding. These three systems comprise
the new routes of the Gould railroads
from st. LOUIS to the Pacific coast.
Plans for through passenger train
service will be considered in the near
future, and st. Louis will soon have
additional through service to and from
San Francisco. Freight and passenger
trains will be operated solid from st.
Louis to San Francisco.
The new route includes the Missouri
Pacific, the Rio Grande and the West
ern Pacific. All three are controlled
by George j. Gould. The Missouri
Pacific extends from st. Louis to Pueb-
10. the Rio Grande from Pueblo to Salt
Lake City, and the Western Pacific
from Salt Lake City to San Francisco,
via Winnemucca, Nevada, and Beck
with, Marysville, Sacramento, Stock
ton and Oakland.
With the Wabash, the Gould system
has a fine line from Buffalo and Detroit
via St. Louis, to San Francisco. With
the Wabash and the Iron Mountain,
the Gould system extends from Chi
caeo and Detroit, via st. Louis, to Tex
arkana, and thence over the Texas and
Pacific and the International and Great
Northern, both Gould lines, to New
Orleans, Galveston, Laredo and I'll
Paso.

CHILD LOST ON THE DESERT
Little Two Year-Old Son of F. E.
Odell Lost Through Dark
Hours of Night.

f. 4. Odell and wife, who live
six miles east of town, endured an
guish last Thursday evening and night
as only pair of parents can, while
their two year old son, Alan wander
ed alone over the sand and through the
sage brush of the desert adjoining
their claim through the dark hours of
the night. Two fortunate circumstan-
ces abetted the child's safe recovery
moderate, tempered night and the
fact that water was not running through
any of the near by canals and laterals.
A third contingency, the child's des-
truction by coyotes, which abound in
this section, made the experience all
too narrowing and when the little fel-
low was discovered at two O'Clock Fri
day morning asleep on the banks of a
dry canal, glad shout went up from
the throats Of sixty workers who had
turned out to assist the grief stricken
parents, that brought relief to the
mother and father whose hopes of the
future are so largely centered in their
little son. The first lisping word of
the little fellow to Messrs. Will Harmon
and Will Danielson, who were directed
to his resting place by his means, was
'cold. And once safely ensconced in
his mothers arms, where he quickly
recovered from his chilled condition, he
passed into sweet sleep and is
none the worse off for his experience
In his wsnderings, the child walk,
between five and six miles between the
time that he strayed from his course
and when he stopped to resi- at the
spot where he was found.
The child wandered away while going
from the house to the field nearby
where his father was working, which
he attempted to do at four O'Clock
Thursday afternoon. His absence was
not noted until his father quit work at
dark and went TO the house for supper,
when a search was at once instituted
by members of the family, which was
fruitless. Word was hurried into town
for assistance in finding the little fell
low and the search continued through
out the night until two O'Clock Friday
morning, when he was found as noted.
That the spirit of humaneness is alive
in Fallon is evidenced by the manner in
which its citizenry turned out in re-
sponse to the request for aid More
than sixty went from Fallon by auto
and by team and good earnest work
was performed in the search for the
child.
This instance should be a warning
to parents in this valley, for it exem-
plitios the great danger that must al
ways attend the child of tender years
in this section, where government
canals and laterals are so numerous.
Mr.. 0dell asked this paper to con-
vey TO the people who aided in the
search the deepest gratitude of both
he and his wife The fact that the
child was found unharmed, supplemented
by the abundant gratitude of its
parents is ample recompense to local
folks who aided in the search.

Creamery Is Big Success.

Fallon has adopted the creamery
methods instituted in Carson valley, and
the first month of running the new
creamery has resulted in the distrbu-
ton of over a thousand dollars TO the
farmers of the reclamation district.

business visited this section some weeks
ago and secured all the milk cows that
we're available. The demand for butter
exceeds the supply, which speaks well

REFERENDUM IS
ENGINEERS AEG|S
AGAINST COUNCIL
Peoples O. K. of Civil Service
Makes GOttfried Dries Se=
cure in His Place.

The Republican wing of the Common
Council has called a conference for to-
night before the meeting of the Coun-
Gil to consider two matters that the
result of the election had made of
paramount Importance in the delibera-
tions of that body. The dismissal Of
Gottfried Dries, the chief engineer at
the City Hall, will be the main subject
discussed, but it is generally admitted
that the removal of this official cannot
now be accomplished by reason of the
adoption of the civil service idea at the
election.
Inasmuch as the referendum clause
becomes operative Immediately the
Council finds itself in the position OF
having considered the removal of a
man from office while it had the power
to dismiss him, but before the matter
could be brought to a vote of the en-
tire Council the employee in question
was protected by the civil service rul-
ing that was accepted by the voters or
Tuesday.
Aldermen Congleton, Taylor, Whit
field and Hopper, who represent the
Progressive element in the Common
Council, will go into the conference
with a determination to protect their
action in the committee when they
recommended the removal of Dries
from office, but Aldermen Baum and
Hopping, who have in the past been
allied with the Progressive element,
will, it is understood, ppose the pro-
gram proposed by their colleagues.
There will he an aftamDt made 70
protect interests that will suffer as a
result of the election, but it is not con-
sidered likely hat the arbitrary re-
moval from Office of City Hall en-
ployees will be sustained either by the
caucus tonight OF the recommendation
of the committee to the Council.
