Mr.. Williams stated that the Churchill
County Bank could handle $15. 1000
of the ISSUE After considering the
matter, our directors guaranteed to
purchase $50, 0o0 of the bonds when
ready for issue, after all legal action
had been complied with. They stated
that Mr.. Wall and Mr.. Curler would
attend to all proper procedure.
In due course Mr.. Curler submitted
copies of proceedings pertaining to the
bond issue, and also copy of the form
of bond and asked about the finish of
the bond. We considered the proceed
ings to that point satisfactory and ap-
proved the form of bond and asked
Judge Curler TO state to the City Coun-
ell that autographed bond would be
more satisfactory, but that if the cx-
pense was considered TOO great, that a
regular Autographed stock form of
bond with printed fill would be accepta-
BILE to US. Later on we noticed an ar
ticle in "The Churchill County Stand
ard, rather giving out the inference
that we were trying to hold the City of
Fallon to hard bargain by requiring
the City TO sell The bonds to us at par
and accrued interest, since Mr.. Alyis,
Of the T. II. Shoppers Engineering
Company of Denver, had stated that
his company would take the bonds at a
premium of go.
After reading the article we wrote to
Mr.. Noble, City Clerk, stating that in
our guaranteeing to purchase $50, 900
worth of the bonds, we did so with the
thought of assisting the City and people
of Fallon, and that if the bonds could
be sold at premium, we would relieve
the City from selling the bonds to this
bank at par, and thus allow the city to
make profit of any premium that it
might be able to obtain.
We have received no reply to our
letter, nor have we received any COM
munication whatever from the City
Attorney or City Council, as referred
to in your article of May 3rd.
We regard the property valuations of
the City of Fallon such as to make the
bond issue satisfactory, and we are
willing to fulfill our guarantee to pur-
chase $50, 900 of the bonds at par and
accrued interest, when legally issued.
At the same time we are also willing
to allow the City to sell the bonds to
anyone else, if it is found to be advan-
tageous to do SO.
We will appreciate the courtesy of
your publishing this letter.
Yours truly,
f. M. LEE,
Viee-President

MOTOR SERVICE is INSTALLED
Two Trains Daily Between Reno
and Fallon---New Service
Began Sunday

The long ng-hoped-for improvement in
the train service between here and
Reno was inaugurated at last on Sun
day when the motor made its first two
trips, getting in here shortly after 7 in
the morning and giving the resident
OF fallon the Reno morning paper almost
as early as the resident of Reno gets
lt-and the second train arriving after
in the evening. This new service is
decided Improvement over the former
one-train service provided by the
Southern Pacific, wherein the arrival
OF the train was SO uncertain that the
time-card served no purpose but to in
dicate what time the train might arrive
if all conditions were favorable.
But all that is changed. Under the
new schedule the man in Fallon who
has business to transact in Reno can
leave here in the morning and get back
the same afternoon. And this is
equally true of the man in Reno who
may have business in Fallon. In the
morning the motor goes clean through
to Reno, but in the afternoon it connects
with No. % at Hazen.
In many ways the new tain service
will prove advantageous to Fallon, and
the people here hail it, installation with
satisfaction. The railroad, too, will
have no reason to complain OF its action
in the matter, for the improved service
will result in greatly increased traffic
between this town and Reno.
There is no longer stub service be-
tween here and Hazen, with the usual
annoying wait for the Wadsworth
train. The motor makes the run in
something over two hours, the distance
being So miles.
Apropos of the new service, Agent
Heuring is out with an announcement
to the public calling attention to the
fact that the time cards of the South
ern Pacific are expressed in mountain
time tor trains running east of Sparks,
while the local time is Pacific. This
means a difference of an hour, and the
public is cautioned not to get mixed
up.
The motor gets in here every morn
ing at 7:l5 Pacific time and leaves at
7:30; arrives at and leaves at $40 P.
NJ. On the time-cards of the company,
the time is given as an hour later in
each case.

FALLON CREDIT GOOD
WITH NIXON BANKS
Banks Official Writes to This Paper Defining the nsu-
tons Attitude, and Stating that the Bonds
Desired by Them

The following letter from MIR. F.
M. Lee, cashier of the Nixon Nation
al Bank, of Reno, defines in con-
else manner the attitude of his in
stitution towards the City of Fallon's
proposed water and sewer bond
issues. Mr.. Lee fatty proposes to
accept $4,000 worth of city bonds
in conformity to the proposition
submitted last October, conceding
at the same time the right to this
city TO sell the issue to whoever may
pay premium in excess of the par
value, the latter being the offer of
the Nixon bank.
Mr.. Lees letter will be taken as
good news by local people and ex-
pressive of the banks complete con-
fidence in the substantially of Fall
Ion. 1t helps in large measure to
establish Fallon's credit, and shows
beyond doubt that the city author
tiles will have no difficulty in float
ing proposed bond issues for mu-
nicipal improvements. Mr.. Lees
letter follows:

Hard on the Boozers

These are dark days for the chronic
"booze- chaser. His face wears a
gloomy cast, all because the last Legis-
lature passed law for his benefit
which the various sheriffs of the state
are to proceed at once to enforce.
Under the new law every place in the
state where intoxicants are sold must
put up bulletin board, in a conspicu-
Gus place, on which shall be posted the
names of all dipsomaniacs. ''Dipso-
maniac" it may be explained, is
another name for 'fbooze fighter. F"
These names must be posted either
upon complaint of any peace officer, or
of any relative of the diseased party. "
Of course, the object of the law is to
reach the chronics who waste all their
substance on the worm of the Nile
and fail to provide for those dependent
upon them. 1t has no bearing on the
man who takes only his fifteen or
twenty day.
The penalty for violating the law is
a fine of $50 or $500, or six months i'm
prisonment or both. Fallon, with its
eleven licenses, is interested in the law
somewhat.

TO THE NATIONS DEAD
Decoration Day is Fittingly OBJ
served in Fallon---Inter-
esting Program
Under the daisies the blue.
Under the roses the gray.

Az the heetng years go by the sur
yiyors of the great civil conflict of
'6l-'65 become fewer and fewer, and it
is with an added realizing sense of the
meaning of Decoration day that we
strew with flowers the graves of the
nations dead. Ii is the nations trib-
ute to those who laid down their lives
that the nation might live.
The Observance of the day in Fallon
yesterday was peculiarly appropriate,
not The least significant feature of the
days exercises being the visit of the
school children to the local cemetery.
Ii was a lesson to the children the
future soldiers and mothers of the laod
that we do not forget loyal service
to our country.
The procession to the cemetery, in
which. beside the children, the G. A.
K. and Spanish war veterans, fraternal
orders and citizens generally participa-
ted, started at 10 o'clock, returning at
noon after the tribute 10 the dead had
been rendered.
At half-past the more formal ex-
ercises at the pavilion were begun and
lasted for couple of hours They
were most interesting. The address of
the day, by Hon. j. w. Ferguson. was
an eloquent effort.

officials of the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific railroads will reach Fal-

Woodliff building directly back of the

ings, city clerk and city marshal head
quarters and general city purposes

able to have city hall of its own. In
the meantime, safe and other necess-
AIRY paraphernalia will be ordered. In
times past, through the courtesy of
the county authorities the city has had
access to the county clerks safe and
also used this functionaries' room for
council meetings.

Organizing Moose Lodge

J. A. Buchanan, aforetime politician
and latterly involved in the newspaper
business-we always say involved
when we refer to the newspaper busi-
ness-is in Fallon. His mission here is
neither political nor journalistic. 1t is
more peaceable and pleasant than
either. He IS here to organize new
fraternal society-that of the Moose.
A lodge of this order was recently
instituted in Reno, and over a hundred
of the lending citizens of that bailiwick
put their names on the charter. Fal-
Ion was judged to be the most promising
field in the state for the institution OF
a second lodge.
Mr.. Buchanan is now securing the
names of intending members, and as
soon as the list reaches the desired
number the new lodge will be organized.
Mr.. Buchanan had not been here
since the campaign of last fall, and be
expresses surprise at the remarkable
advance made in the town and sur
rounding country in the meantime.
Fallon is today, as he says, the
liveliest burg in the state, with decided
Iy the most promising prospects. The
establishment of the big sugar factory
here has boosted Falon stock above par.

arrangements can be made for the re-
ception of the distinguished party, but
it is urged that every citizen of Fallon
constitute himself reception committee
of one and help to entertain the party.
All local autos have been called into
requisition, and will be detailed to meet
the train when it reaches here and
transport the towns guests to various
local points of interest. The sugar
factory will of course be visited.

Now we are engaged in n great

should do this.

Dear Sir:
We notice that the article appearing
in your paper on May 3rd regarding the
proposed bond issue of the City of Fal-
Ion to acquire funds for the construct
ion of water and sewer system repre-
sents The action and attitude of this bank
regarding the matter entirely different
from actual conditions, therefore, for
your information and for the informa-
tion of all who are interested, it seems
proper for us TO state that in March
Messis. Dolf, dollhouse. Vannoy,
Wildes and Williams from Falon ac-
companied by Judge Curler, called upon
US and made a statement to our di-
rectors that the officers of the City of
Fallon were anxious to take immed-
late action in the matter of procuring
a proper water and sewer system to
improve the health conditions of Fallon.
They represented that considerable
time would be required to make investi-
cation of different systems to deter
mine upon one suitable to your local
conditions, and when determined upon
they wanted to be in position to ask
for construction bids. without the de-
lay and avoid an uncertainty regarding
the sale of the bonds.
After making this statement, they
asked US If we would agree to purchase
the bonds when ready to be issued.

marked about her strange experience.
 Deeply interested in the girl at the store, she went back two or three times to meet her. The girls were so strongly attracted to each other that Miss Veail began an investigation, which disclosed that she and Miss Freeman were twin sisters.
 Nearly 16 years ago they were taken from home here, and neither knew of the others existence until this week. Miss Veail became d member of the family of George Veail of Wichita. About year ago she learned by acci- dent that she had had sister, but 1t was by chance alone that she happened to meet her at the department store. In the first conversation between the twins before they knew of their relationship Miss Veait said: T am 16 years old "Is that SOP" said her double. Why am 16, too" My birthday is on August 2o" said Miss Veail.
 Why so is mine.. said Miss Free man.
 Miss Veail told her foster-moth her about her experience. and together they made an investigation. which showed that she and Miss Freeman had been left at the same home and that they were twins. Their real name was not stated.
 The twins were unable to express their joy at being reunited. They say they will remain together.
