 There was little hazins of the aea-
 delnio freshmen by the sophomores this
 year and the annual class rush in front Of Pierson hall on York street did not
 prove especially strongly contested.
 The freshies who strayed away from
 the main body of their class and got captured by the sophs had to go through the usual tactics, the attempts of one oig 950 pounder to climb lp lamp post and blow the electric lamp out being hazing stunt that was particularly funny to everyone in the crowd except the freshman.
 The townspeople turned out largely, as usual, to see the annual snake dance al ound New Haven green, as did they also for the Shelf parade and rush, with the seniors in costumes that in cluded everything between a Fiji Isl ander and Eve, with clowns and iail- birds seeming to predonHate. The Shelf men marched out to Yale oo- seryatory according to custom for their wrestling matches, while the academic wrestling was held on the campus.

WATER USERS TO INCORPORATE
Project Farmers Met Saturday
And Approved Plan OF In
corporation OF Society.

The Water Users Association met at
the pavilion Saturday afternoon and
spent few busy hours. The action of
the committee on incorporation. COM
posed of Fulton Il. Sears. chairman,
Lafayette Pierce, L. P. Osgood, Mr..
Clark, L. L. Wheeler, DR.. j. w. Wor-
den and Thomas Dolf, was approved in
mass meeting after desultory discus
sion. As this paper understands it, the
method that will be pursued is to incor-
porate under the state law as any other
cooperative scheme would incorporate,
and the full capital stock of the associ-
alton would represent the total cost of
this project to the government. The
amount of shares issued to each water
user would be represented by the num-
Der of acres of paid-up water right.
The permanent officers and directors
of the association are r. L. Douglass,
president; c. W. Renfro, vice presi-
dent; +. S. Hartman, F. A. Dalton,
Mr.. Taylor, j. S. Gray, Leon Whitsell,
Vim. Willis and J. A. Bailey, directors.

DATE FOR SUGAR MAKING SET
General Manager Fred Hinze
Announces That Campaign
Will Start December 6.

Manager Fred Hinze, of the Nevada
Sugar Company, announces that the
1911 campaign of the local sugar com
pany will be started along about Dec
ember 1st. This date is not absolutely
definite but may vary few days
either way, according to Mr.. Hinze,
who is putting forth every effort to
hasten factory building. OF course,
unlocked for contingencies may arise,
but are not at all probable. The ne
cessary machinery is arriving about on
schedule time, and barring delays in
the delivery of machinery December
1st will witness the first sugar making
10 Nevada.
And it will be day marking an
epoch that must spell greater prosper
ity for Nevada and this county in par
ticular. The state has always been
lacking in manufactures.
And in the end the factory will be
the means of bringing into active cul-
tivation many thousands of acres of
land in this valley not yet given over
to farming.

HAD A TERRI BILE EXPERIENCE
A Falion Visitor Who Was One
of the Victims Of the Porcu.
pine Conflagration.

One Of Fallon's visitors this week.
A +. Eckstein, representing the Polk
directory outfit, passed through an ex-
citing experience last summer in Can
ada, when he was up in the Poreupine
country. He was at the Canadian min
ing camp during the big iie that ragged
there, IN which hundreds of lives were
lost and an enormous property loss sus-
tanned.
Mr. Eekstein states thai he was one
Of the many hundreds Of people who
Were driven into the lake by the onrush
OF fire, the woods being all ablaze and
the flames spreading SO rapidly that the
water was the only place of refuge.
Some 600 people took refuga in the lake
bat only about half Of the number came
out alive.
In the water we're all kinds Of domes.
tic and wild animals, and even bears
could be seen swimming among the
frantic deople that were surrounded by
a wall Of fire. Ia the lake, or what
might be termed great caldron. Mr.
Eckstein says he remained for six hours
with the heat so intense that human
flesh was blistered. 1t was with diff

Some of those who emerged from the
lake and couple Of hundred never
came out at all-were SO badly burned
that they have been under medical care
ever since. 1t was an experience never
to be forgotten.

LOVEL0Ck The BEER
DRINKERS PARADISE

Lovelock is the paradise of hoboes at
the present time, and those who can
evade the peace officials and remain in
town for any great length of time can
have the time of their lives for a few
cents. There is beer war on at Love-
lock, and in consequence the foamy bev-
erage is being dispensed over the ma
hogany at reduced rates.
The saloon men have taken sides in
the war. and on one side the thirsty can
secure huge schooner of German joy
for cent. On the other side the stems
are selling for 81 cents. At the pres
ent price it is not difficult matter for
one to forget ones troubles for 5 cents,
while with 10 cents it is possible for a
man to feel like loving his mother-in-
law or his neighbor's bulldog. For %
cents person can make a night of it,
and anybody with half dollar should
be reckoned as prince of good fellows.
A capitalist having 81 in his possession,
the cartwheel being equal to 100 schoon-
ers, could be placed in the millionaire
class.
1t is understood that the beer war is
sanctioned by two large Milwaukee
breweries and that each is attempting
to secure a monopoly on the patronage
of the town. Before the war started
beer was selling for 1215c a glass, but
continued reductions brought the price
down to the present rate.
The opposing factions are backed
with large followings, and, needless to
say, the aforesaid followings are reap
ing the benefit of the conflict to the ex-
tent that cents viii now purchase what
necessitated the expenditure of rs cents
before.

Fully Explained

Fred, dear, asked Mrs. Newlywed,
what do they mean when they say q
man tore off a hot one to left field?"
Its scientific phrase, was the
reioinder. "You cant explain it pre-
cisely unless you have eentigrade

ture accurately and set of surveying
instruments to ascertain direction. -

that makes it quite clear. But do you

CONTINUOUS IRRIGATION PLAN
Would Seem To Be The Best, II
Products Brought To This
Office Are To Be Judged.

Thomas R. Harper, who lives thre,
miles southeast of Fallon on one of th.
project irrigated tracts, has earned tn.
title Of the agricultural wizard of tn,
valley. After several years Of Gloss
study Of the conditions that make foI
plant life in this, the most arid of al
arid sections on the continent, he ha.
evolved plan for plant culture that
judging by samples brought to this Of
flee, is an unqualified success. The
specimens brought in include Peeries.
and Burbank potatoes, carrots and
parsnips.
The spuds are from a field that Mr..
Harper says produced more than % ton.
to the acre, and after seeing the spud'
it is quite easy to believe his assertion
for they are by far the haudsomast that
it has ever been our pleasure TO feas
our eyes upon while the carrots anc
parsnips are par excellence in their re
speetiye lines. Had Mr.. Harper made
an exhibit at the fair from his truck
patch, and his other products maintain
ed the same standard of excellence thai
eharacterizes those brought IN, be
would have been entitled TO sweepstake G.
without a doubt. That he aid not do sc
was due to the fact that he vas tempo.
rariiy absent at the time when the fair
exhibits were being grouped.
The point it seems like a good
enc, to3-that Mr.. Harper makes has
to do with irrigation. In the use Of wa.
ter he is an ayowed opponent Of The
five-day rotation system, maintaining
that his results, which are the best, are
obtainable only by the most careful use
of water, applied in small quantities
but at frequent intervals. Plant as
similatioo of needed nutrition, Mr.. Har-
per thinks, is obtained in the best man
ner only in this way.
On this point most local water users
are agreed. 1t is a fact that this val
ley is almost without an annual rainfall
and should not be handled 10 the same
regarding rotation Of irrigation
water as sections where more or less
occurs and soil conditions
are different. II any argument be Iced
cd against the institution of this pro-
posed innovation. none could be had
more eloquent than an eye feast on
what Mr.. Harper mas accomplished. He
IS anxious to m axe an affidavit as to his
methods Of producing farm products.
That it is the very antithesis of what
is proposed for local folks should carry
weight with project officials.

Desert Signs Are Needed.

Judge Peter Breen, of the Third ju-
dicial district court at Austin, last week
in charging the grand jury dwelt at
length upon the necessity Of placing
signboards upon the desert roads in
Lander county, and cited the law re-
garding the same. It would help out
greatly in this large desert county Of
Nye # cur district Judge would remind
the grand jury when it eonyenes of the
law pertaining to signposts. A trav-
eler can lose himself inside of twenty
miles Of Tonopah by taking the wrong
road. 1onopah Bonanza.

SAVES COUNTY MONEY
BY kicking Off When Arrested for
Awful Crime.

Awful &nme.
John Ehrgood, a former employe of
the Falon Slaughtering & Supply Co.,
a man who up to the time of his arrest
bore a good reputation for honesty and
sobriety, was placed in Jail lastWednes-
day evening, charged with assaulting a
little girl of tender years. Before the
night had passed he died in coma,
brought on by a chronic trouble, which
in turn was agg, awaited by the excite
ment over his arrest.
An inquest was held over the remains
on the following day, and in the inves-
tigation that followed Sl3l6.S5 was found
under the floor of the house occupied
by the man. Undertaken E. W. Black
had charge of the interment, which oe-
Cured at the Fallon cemetery Friday.
So far no one has claimed relationship
to the man or has asked for the money,
and it may go to the eseheat fund.

Business is Improving.

Dun's Review, which is an accepted
authority on the condition of business
in this country, states that railroad
earnings for the first three weeks of
September showed an actual gain of
II per cent over last year, and while
1910 was not the best year in history
for the railroads, it was very salts
factory one. 1t is a fact that there is
plenty of money in the country, ready
to enter legitimate business because it
fears longer to rush into the illegiti-
mate combines. Along these general
lines it may be encouraging to read
what Dun's Review says Of the situa-
tion. 1t is summed up as follows:
''In spite of war, industrial disputes
and other influences tending to impair
confidence and retard enterprise, the
movement of trade continues large, and
although still below producing capacity
the recent gradual improvement is
maintained. The increased bank clear
ings and reduced number OF business
failures are clearly indicative of this.
Railroad earnings during three weeks
of September gained IL per cent over
last year. The best feature of the bus
mess situation continues to be the ex-
port trade. This is shown not only in
the statistics of foreign commerce, but
appears also in the reports of specific
/ trades"

THE S. p. STRIKE.
Both Sides Claim They Will Win 1t
Without Trouble.


From a San Francisco source we learn
that the leaders Of the Federation of
Shop Employees believe that the Harri-
man officials are preparing TO offer
terms of settlement Of the strike chat
went into effect nearly three weeks ago.
The company, according to the strikers,
has become so seriously handicapped in
] It's servics as result of the strike that
] it is willing to make liberal concessions.
The company officials, on the other
hand, say the strikers are being misled
and misinformed IN regard to their in
tentions. The company, they assert,
has no idea of making concessions, and
/ indeed is in a position TO refuse any
offer that might come from the strik-
ers. According to the company officials,
some OF the latter have applied for their
old positions and some have been rein
stated.
1--WE are stronger now than we were
at the time Of the strike" declared one
of the labor leaders, 'and the company
Is weaker 50 far as its train service is
concerned. The yards are filling up rap
idly with disabled cars and engines, and
there are not sufficient skilled merriam
les TO repair them. We have reason 70
believe the company is preparing to of
fer Us terms Of settlement.
f. G. Ahearn, manager Of the bureau
Of economies Of the Southern Pacific,
declares the strike is thing of the
past, SO far as the company is concern
ed. There has been no interruption of
the service, he says, and traffic is in no
way impeded.
"fhe company is running its shops
with an adequate force of skilled work
men" said Ahearn, "and all igs trains,
both freight and passenger, are running
on schedule time. There must be some
misinformation in regard to the COM
prny's intentions, for ! am sure the
company will never grant the demand
for which the men went on strike.

CITY TO GET COVETED JUICE
Government Has Asked For
Bid For Power On A Basis
That Is Equitable.

A big problem in local affairs will be
overcome when the government builds
its proposed transmission line from the
Lahontan dam to FalIon and sends the
juice eoursing down the wires. That
it is not a far cry to this eventuality
is shown by the recent action of the
Secretary of the Interior ia authorizing
the local project engineers to advertise
for bids for ten-year lease Of a mini
mum of 200 kilowatts of power to be
delivered at point near the eity's Inn
It's to be selected by the government
officials, but in no case to be more than
a mile from the Incorporation lines.
This action of the Secretary of the
Interior is taken in recognition of the
earnest efforts Of our city officials and
numerous ones Of the reclamation Off
cials, including Project Engineer D. w.
Cole. Chief Engineer Arthur P. Davis
conferred some months ago with the
eity's officials and business men, and
the feasibility of the scheme was dem
onstrated at that time. From time to
time plans and specifications were
drafted. only to be referred back for
redrafting, and this authorization of
the project engineer to advertise for
bids IS taken as meaning definitely that
work will be instituted on the trans
mission line jaat as soon as the formal
ity of closing the contract with the best
bidder can be accomplished. The min
imum figure that will be acceptable to
the government is reasonable and with
in the bounds Of good business. That
someone, preferably the city, will get
the award there now seems little doubt.
OF course, corporations or individuals
are eligible to make bids for the power,
but it is given out emphatically that the
city will get the preference, all things
being equal, and most local people pre-
fer the city to occupy the role of bid
der and distributor.
The award will be made Dec 9th at
the Fallon reclamation office, where the
specifications can be seen. Mayor Geo.
&, Sherman has also been favored with
copy Of the specifications, which pro-
vide that the government will, until
Jan. lst, 1913, deliver at point near
Falloa three-phase alternating current
of juice at pproximately go cycles per
second at 2200 volts. On Jan. 1st, 1913,
this may be increased in the discretion
Of the government should it be found
that the governments requirements for
power will allow it. The bidder for
power must give certified check for
$500, and in the event the award is
given him a bond for $4,000 running to
the government must be a part of the
transaction.
The government $ contract will also
insist that the distribution of power
must be made without discrimination
among consumers, and that books and
accounts must be kept orsn to govern
ment supervision at all times.
The officials of the city are in dead
earnest about accomplishing all within
their power that will add to local con-
veniences. Their work for electricity
seems to have borne fruition, and this
paper hopes that cooperation On the
part of every local citizen will be theirs.
