BOND REPRESENTATIVE HERE
Drops In 10 investigate Fall
Ions Business AS
poets.

A. S. Huyck, representing Uhlen,
Sutherlin & Company, bond buying
bankers of Chicago, stopped over in
Fallon between trains Saturday after
noon for the purpose of looking into
the proposed water works and sewage
bond issues. the legality of the same,
and the resources that will be back of
the bonds as guarantee of payment.
He was on his way to Chicago, from
points in the Northwest where his firm
has recently bought several hundred
thousand dollars worth of municipal
securities. At Vale, in Eastern Oregon,
Mr.. fIuyek formally accepted $50. .00O
worth of bonds sold for the purpose of
building a gravity water system for
the town. Last year Vale had ty-
phoid epidemic and safeguarding against
repitition, pure water supply is be-
ing provided. Vale is town about the
size of Fallon end what was done there
in the selling of its bonds shows what
should be expected of Fallon's bonds.
Mr.. Huyck was quite well impressed
with Fallon's substantial appearance,
and he gave it as his opinion that no
trouble should be experienced in getting
capital interested in the bonds. The
amount proposed for the two issues
aggregates but $4,000, and inasmuch
as the assessed valuation of Fallon is
nearly $500, 600, and there is no other
indebtedness, the security will be con-
sidered ample. And to add to the at
tractiveness of the issue is the 81, ,000,-
900 government irrigation system,
which gives to Fallon unquestioned
stability and insures it a longevity
second to none.
In all probability Huyck carried to
his employers in Chicago decided
recommendations for the buying of the
issues to be floated shortly. But in
this connection, he stated that gravity
water system was far preferable to
pumping system, as the cost of main
tenance in this intermountain country
is so great that the gravity system,
even if O considerable distance has to
be traversed for good water, is the
cheapest in the end.
Should Fallon install gravity sys-
TEN, the Truckee water at the chute
fifteen miles west of town, would be
the nearest source of desirable water
supply, and this would have to be fl
tered before it could be used in the
home with safety. Just how much
such a system would cost is not known,
but it would likely be prohibitive. An
engineers report would be the only
means of getting even approximate
figures on the cost. It seems highly
probable that the pumping plant and
system as outlined by City Engineer
Osgood will be the type of system in
stalled, even though the cost of main
tenance is high. 1t is plan of sys-
TEN in use quite generally throughout
the fiat countries of the middle west
and many towns of from five to fifty
thousand have invoked it as a means of
supplying water for fire protection and
domestic uses.

THE new RAILROAD RATES
Notifications Nominal. But
a Step In Right Di-
rection.

The following having to do with the
new freight rates accorded this state
show the much heralded reductions to
be somewhat nominal. While the re-
ductions will effect large saving for
the people of the state, the old matter
of water competition still determines
the coast rates. as it is still possible to
ship across the Sierras from eastern
points for less figure than the inter.
mediate points in the state are CON-
PEELED to pay. Nevertheless the nominal
reductions are appreciated and are gen.
orally regarded by the states consum-
mers as step in the right direction.
Regarding the commodity or special
rates. and presuming the commission
as it tentatively mentions in the Reno
decision, will give Nevada points the
Spokane commodity tariff, then, ac-
cording to the Southern Pacific state
ment, agricultural implements can be
shipped direct in carloads from Mis-
souri, river points to the Nevada towns
at 5S cents per hundred pounds less
than the San Francisco jobber can
distribute them back to Nevada. The
difference against Sacramento is IS
cents.
On similar shipments Chicago has
an advantage over San Francisco Of
4S, Detroit AZ, Pittsburg 80 and New
York 22 cents.
In the case of bags and bagging jute,
Missouri river points have an advan=
tage over San Francisco of 81 cents
per 100 pounds, St. Louis, AZ; Chi:
cago, 40; Detroit, 36; Pittsburg, 80, and
New York 2l cents.
The statement, in continuing to cite
the advantage of eastern jobbers, on
shipments into Nevada ss
against similar shipments from this
city and Sacramento, mentions hand
forks, hoes, asbestos, baks
ing powder, roofing, bath tubs, blank
books, blanks. boots and shoes, can.
ned fish, carpets, clothing, green and
roasted and ground coffee, and thirty
other articles of trade and commerce.
The few comparative figures given
on commodity shipments showing the
rate advantage of eastern cities into
Nevada towns against San Francisco
and Sacramento are true of all other
articles alluded to in the same or even
greater ratio.

towns referred to consist of Fallon,

A LAND OF MILK AND HONEY
The Lahontan Valley Fits the
Proverb About ProIif-
ic Plenty.

The Lahonton valley is great for
bees. Since the earliest settlement
of this section bees have made fine.
palatable honey and the number
of colonies has increased year
by year. Occasionally the bee queen
leads her colony in search of a new
home and ends up in temporary quarters,
which to say the least do not resemble
the ordinary hive. County Bee In
spector e. G. Norton was called to the
W. d. Cook home south of town re-
Gently and after several hours work,
succeeded in removing an immense
colony of bees from the interior of Mr..
Cook s house, where they had secured
what seemed to them satisfactory
quarters between the joists of the
building. Mr.. Norton also removed
something like 300 pounds of honey,
which had been neatly stored in a
months time.
A small contingent of bees recently
followed queen to the front of the
court house, where they found hole in
the wall left by the builder and they
have since considered themselves mem-
bers of the court house crowd. Just
how many pounds of honey they have
stored to date is not known. Possibly
the sweets being carried there now
have something to do with the longing
glances being SHE'D by the multitude at
the county Offices. Anyway these
court house bees are scrappers. One
swung on the editor last week, landing
near the eye and our optic had Jeff's
Fourth of July eraamentation beat to
fragile, for a day or two.
The public school building did not
escape the scrutiny of the bees, for a
colony recently set up housekeeping in
one Of the ventilators leading out of
the building, andat once began the max
ing of honey for the inevitable cold spell
of the coming winter. w. w. Ratcliff,
who has charge of the school building
and grounds in and out OF season, dis
covered the bees and Friday started
them in new search for a home, after
taking their store Of sweets, amounting
to eight or ten gallons, away from them.
Churchill county bees are independent,
as most any self-respectng farmer
should be. Rebelling at the intrusion
of master. they are likely to change
headquarters most any time and in
their search for new home
cottonwood trees are most often
selected. The quality of honey made
here is of the highest and each year the
amount exported grows larger. The
amount of money disbursed among local
bee men annually is considerable and
as the valleys acreage of alfalfa,
which is an excellent honey producing
plant, increases, the valleys quota of
bee colonies will increase and the
amount of money brought annually
will increase correspondingly.
If the bees continue their antics and
the cows of the valley do their duty,
this valley will soon be overhowing
with the proverbial milk and honey.

Young Man Sentenced Only To Be
Paroled.

OiCus
The state board of pardons acted
Wednesday of last week on the appli-
cation of II. V. Evans, who was SEN
fenced Tuesday by Judge Pike to serve
the minimum sentence, one year, for
grand larceny, the details of which are
familiar to most readers of this paper.
Evans last year purloined a valise
while running on Central Pacific train
as peanut butcher, and because of
his youth and certain other extenuating
features. pressure was brought to bear
upon the board of pardons to secure a
parole, which was granted on the date
named. The conditions of the parole
are that Evans shall remain in this
county one. year, the term of sentence,
that he shall be under the supervision
of the sheriff of the county, and shall
report at least once each month to the
secretary of the pardoning board. He
is also expected to remain out of sa-
looms during the term of his parole.
Evans bears the unique distinction of
having served the shortest term in the
state prison in Carson on record, for in
order to come within the scope of the
boards jurisdiction, it was necessary
that he should "do time" Accord
ingly he was received at the prison,
stripped, photographed, measured and
properly recorded with a number, as
other prisoners get and at the ex-
piration of the procedure, which is
said to have required about five min
utes, was turned loose and is now in
this valley.
He is an industrious young man and
appears to be striving to redeem his
mistake, and promises to develop into
a highly useful citizen.

States Increase In Population Not
Great.

Nevada's population as demonstrated
by the recent census is away below
what 1t was generally supposed to be
and demonstrates the futility of trying
to estimate population in state
where mining camps shift about in
night, and where about the only de-
pendable conditions have to do with stock
and agricultural sections. While no
figures are obtainabie at this time on
the states population, the general
estimate of 100, 900 souls is away above
what ii really is, and it would not be
surprising to this paper, if the mum.
Der fell below 70, 900.
There has been periods doubtless dur.
Ing the last decade when the 100, 0o9
mark was nearly reached, but with the
abandonment of wild eating and mining
camp booming, thousands left the state
to pursue illigitimate vocations else
where. In the meantime Reno's de
yorce population is no inconsiderable
proportion of that city's population.
1t is generally prophesied now that
the 1910 census figures will show an
increase of around fifteen or twenty
per cent. over the figures OF ten years
ago. The greatest number of people
lived within Nevada about three years
ago, since which time the mining popu-
lation has decreased greatly. Although
the farming sections of the state have
increased in the interim, the increase
will not commence to cover the loss of
the wildcatters, whose room by the
way is more appreciated than their
presence.

This paper has been asked repeatedly
by subscribers what disposition would
be made for lock box subscribers when
the new quarters now in course of con-
struction are occupied. This is a
question that cannot be answered by
this paper, although the sentiment of
the community is very much in favor
of having access provided for lock
boxes at all times, as is usually the case
elsewhere in towns of Fallon's size and
Importance. However the policy of the
post office is entirely up TO Postmistress
Callie Ferguson, who has always tried
to please the public and who will doubt
less take some action on the popular
demand for the segregation of the
office from the post office store to al
low of day and night and Sunday ac-
cess to the lock box department.

Now that Winnemucca and Reno
have won by the decision of the inter.
state commerce commission in the rate
case of the Nevada railroad commission
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, large reduction in freight
rates, the people of those two places
are enthusiastic and believe that they
will Immediately obtain results from
this decision.
Already real estate dealers have re-
ceived orders from San Francisco
houses to secure places to be used as
branch houses.
This means in short time Nevada
will have a number of additional
wholesale houses and that the busi-
ness of this state will be much larger
than Mt present Wells il..ald

The preparations of the reclamation
service for the construction of the big
Engle dam have given great impetus
to agricultural development in that
part of New Mexico, according to a
statement issued by the reclamation
service, says a Washington dispatch.
The increase in the value Of lands in
the first unit of the Rio Grande project,
it was said, has been taken as an indi-
cation of future prosperity throughout
the irrigable areas. Under the Leas-
burg diversion last year, %, 500 acres
were irrigated and the acreage this
year, it was said, doubtless would ex-
ceed that amount. The value of land
under cultivation at present varies from
500 to $500 per acre, and that of raw
land from $50 to $50 AS comparison,
it was pointed out that the value of the
land under cultivation at the time of
the preliminary survey was 500 to $40
per acre and that of raw land So to $40.
The majority of the land is now in the
hands of Americans, it was added, while
previous to the advent of the recla-
nation service, it was controlled by
farmers Of Mexican extraction.

HAY CONDITIONS IN HUMBOLDT
S. B. Smart Returns From Visit
To Lovelock Section Where
He Observes of Affairs.

S. B. Smart, wife and children re-
turned Monday from Lovelock, where
they visited relatives for a few days.
Mr.. Smart, who is one of the most sub
stantial farmers of this valley, OBJ
served closely of conditions existing in
the Humboldt valley and in contrasting
them with the conditions here every
thing favors this valley. He stated to
this paper that the lower portion of the
Humboldt would raise but fraction OF
the average crop, owing to the floods
of last spring that devastated so large
an area of alfalfa land. Figured as a
whole, Mr.. Smart believes that the en-
tire Loveloek farming section will
raise about half the usual amount OF
hay on this account.
Mr.. Smart also told US that stock
companies have already made contracts
for hay and pasture in the vicinity of
Loveock. They are contracting on
the basis of 12L cents per day per head
Of beef stock for hay and five cents
per head per day for pasture. This,
he tells us is equal to about $3.50 per
head per month for pasture and will
make the hay net between 81 and So
per ton. The feeding of the hay by
the seller is part of the contract.
Never before did the hay buyers
visit Lovelock SO early in the season.
This would indicate keen rivalry for
hay.
Comparing the irrigation system in
the Humboldt valley with our own
matehless government system, Mr..
Smart stated that the disparity between
the two, in favor of the government
system, is very great. There, the wa
ter users are in continual dispute over
the disposition of water, and he believes
that the matter of general control and
general uses of the Humboldt waters,
will be put up to the government
eventually, by request of the water
users of that valley. A few of the big
water users show more and more of
tendency to hog the supply of irrigation
water and the defining of individual
rights will likely be done in the courts,
after expensive lawsuiting.
