High School Faculty Retained.

The county high school board, meet
ing last Wednesday, in recognition of
the excellent services of the present
faculty of the Churchill high school,
again rendered them their places for
the ensuing year at increased salaries.
Prof. F. l.. Fetter, Miss Beth NJ.
Portlock and Miss Ernstein Sweet are
the present faculty and the two assis-
tants will enjoy salaries of $l10 during
next years ten month term, rather
than 500 now being paid, while Prof
essor Fetter was given a raise of $35
per month, bringing his salary for the
coming year to SITS per month.
These teachers have given excellent
satisfaction during the term of school
about to end Their service has been
faithful and has sufficed to arouse
greatly increased interest in the local
county high school, which is growing,
both in point of number of scholars
and quality of work done. 1t is now
recognized as one the states best high
schools and is accredited at the state
university in a praiseworthy manner.

Settlers Win Again.

To clsrify one phase of the local wa
ter situation and bring an embroglio to
an end between the authorities at
Washington and numerous f the local
settlers, Secretary Fisher on April 22nd
ruled that all TruckecC Carson project
water right applications made during
the period from June 18th, 1907 and
December 3lst, of the same year were
entitled to the fiat S22 rate, whether
applying TO homestead or decided land.
This ruling was made as sequel to
numerous protests that were made by
local project water users, who con-
tended for their rights and appealed
the matter to the secretary for his de-
cision.

COMING DECORATION DA
Preparation Under Way For
The Proper Observance OF
Memorial Day.

Decoration day will be fittingly OBJ
served in Fallon this year, steps having
already been taken to that end by the
remnants of the army of 81 now living
in this section. A. X. Jeffrey, Matt
johnson and r. S. Brock are now the
only veterans of the United States
army of civil war times now living in
this section, so far as we have been
able to learn. w. w. Ratcliffe and
one or two Confederate veterans are
still active citizens of this valley. A
delightful custom has been in vogue
here for several years, by which the
ex-Confederate and ex-Federar soldiers
combine to do honor TO their comrades
who sleep in Fallon cemetery.
Civic organizations will again be
asked to cooperate with the old SOL
diers or this occasion to make the com
ing Decoration day success. The
usual program, including orations and
grave decorating, will be features, and
IN organization is being perfected to
arrange the days events.

The DEADLY ALFALFA WEEv|L
Information Given Out About
The Pest By Expert Who
Has Investigated.

The alfalfa weevil, which has
proven so serious pest in the Salt
Lake valley, now threatens to invade
Idaho and Nevada. 1t will certainly
be spread along the line of the rail-
roads leading out from the Salt Lake
region and it would seem to be only
a question of time before it becomes
established in Nevada, especially in
the valley of the Humboldt.
The United States department of
agriculture has established labora-
tory at Salt Lake for the study of the
pest. And, as Nevada is vitality in
terested in the matter, the University
of Nevada has placed one of the grad.
yates of the present class, 1911, in the
new laboratory at Salt Lake City. In
fact, on the recommendation of Prof.
Doten of the university of Nevada.
the bureau of entomology has placed
this graduate, Mr.. Cecil M. Creel, in
permanent and remunerative position
in the government service.
Mr.. Cree will return to Reno in time
to receive his degree this year and will
present thesis in the department of
entomology. setting forth in full the
existing knowledge on the subject of
the alfalfa weevil.
He has been a student at the uni
vefsiiy for two years, during which
time he has taken courses in agricul-
ture and horticulture under Professors
Knight and True, and special work in
entomology under Professor Doten.
After that Creel will make an inspec-
tion trip through The alfalfa sections of
Nevada, and thence back to Salt Lake
City.
Prof. Doten received, from the de-
partment of agriculture, an offer of
an important position in their service,
but though the offer will be held open
for a year it is unlikely that he will
leave the university of Nevada, for
he feels that loyalty to problems al
ready undertaken will demand his
presence here.
Prof. A. II. kirkland, who was long
in charge of the gypsy moth work in
Massachusetts. will probably have
general charge of the governments
chronological work in the west. Ac-
companed by Prof. Webster, he will
meet and address most of the COM
mercial clubs in the alfalfa growing
region of the intermountain stateF.
The aim Of the department is TO
awaken public interest in the federal
chronological work, especially in the
weevil problem.
1t is likely that Kirkland will be
invited to address the Reno CONNER
cal club on this important topic. II
is plain that on the whole the alfalfa
weevil is going to meet with hard,
well-directed fight, and kind of fight
that will be victory for the farmers.

Australian here from the Antipodes
Studying Irrigation.

Studying Irrigation.
W. D. Duncan, an employe of the
state government of New South Wales,
Australia, visited Fallon the first of
the week, having accompanied Super
vising Engineer E. G. Hopson here
to look the Truckee-Carson project
over and study its technical features.
M. Duncan is an irrigation and drain
age engineer and is spending a year
abroad fulfilling a commission from his
government to investigate and take
the commendable features of American
irrigation undertakings that they may
be utilized in the projected development
of the arid lands of New South Wales.
Mr.. Duncan told us that the precipita-
tion in his part of New South Wales
varied from eight inches annually to 40
inches, the variability making it ex-
tremely difficult TO prepare with any
degree of certainty for land reclamation.
Mr.. Duncan is typical Englishman,
although one generation removed from
the mother country. He is an enthusi-
asst on Austraia's latent resources and
stated that the country was just now
making bid for immigration. This
immigration is necessarily confined to
the white races as off colored aliens are
not admitted in his country.

Special Rates Granted for EAGLES
Carnival.

The one thing that was deemed es-
sential for the complete success of the
projected Eagle entertainment t, to be
held Saturday. May goth, was accom-
plished last Wednesday, on which date
a delegation of local citizens, consisting
of X. L. Douglass, George Sherman,
Thomas Dolf, Budd Williams and C. E.
Everett, travelled to Reno and con-
ferred with District Freight and Pas
senger Agent J. M. Fulton, who more
than met the requests of the local lodge
of Eagles in the matter of railroad
rates. Mr.. Fulton extended every
courtesy to the Fallonites. and granted
rates that will insure large attend
ance of folks in Fallon during the COM
ing gala day. From Reno a special one
way price will be made for the round
trip. amounting to $2.65, while for four
days special one and one-third rate
will be in effect to and from Fallon for
all points within the state. This gen.
erosity on the part of the railroad COM
pany will undoubtedly suffice to bring
to Fallon very large number of peo-
pie, who will take advantage Of the oc-
casion to celebrate with the Eagles,
see their numerous and scheduled do
ings and view the great development
now under way in this valley. The
beet sugar factory, the first within
Nevada will be viewed by a vast throng
week from Saturday, as many will
come for the specific purpose of seeing
what Fallon is doing in the beet sugar
line.
The Eagles are working Industrious
ly upon their undertaking. Their bar
becue and program of sporting events
will be pulled off according to adver-
tised schedules, while the full day of
excitement will be closed by an enter
tainment given by Eagle membership
and ball, where the public can relax
nerves and fittingly close day that is
sure to pc joyful from the beginning
TO the close.

Are Not AS Attractive Now AS
Formerly, A c ording To
Following Figures.

Complete returns covering the busi-
ness of 9S per cent of the railroads OF
the country for the month of Febru-
ary and for the eight months ending
February 28th appear in the current
number of the New York Financial
Chronicle. These figures are suffi-
ciently impressive to account for much
of the aversion of the public to rail-
road securities. The most important
feature of the returns is the fact that
for the first time since November,
1908, there is decrease in gross re-
ceipts. Net receipts have been shrink
ing for months, but until February
there was enough new business COM
ing in to keep the gross above the
figures of the corresponding month of
last year. The decrease was compara-
lively small when the amount involved
was considered. 1t amounted to but
SO, 400, 167, but it was accompanied
by an increase in operating expenses
of So. 452, SIT, which cut the net earn
ings down s6,861, 744, representing a
decrease of 1918 per cent over the
earnings for February, 1910.
Regarded from the standpoint Of
railroad earnings, the South must b.
the most prosperous part Of the coun-
try at the present time. The 1856 roads
included in the Southern group showed
an increase of $50 per cent in gross
earnings and of 2.59 per cent in net
earnings The Southwest group also
showed the slight increase of S64, 043
in gross earnings, but this was more
than wiped out by a decrease of 26i
per cent in net. All remaining groups
showed very heavy losses, the net be-
ing radically worse than the gross,
ninety-two Middle Western roads
showing 5.97 per cent decrease in gross
and 31.75 per cent decrease in net
earnings. The Pacific group of sixty
seven roads showed a decrease OF SOB
per cent net and 1854 per cent gross.
Perhaps the most significant of all
these losses in earnings is the showing
made by the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific. The former reported a
decrease of s7s3,835 in gross and
s725, o6i in net earnings, while the
Southern Pacific decreased S454, 800 in
gross and 1857, 4s3 in net. These two
roads. since their reconstruction by
the late f. H. Hartman, have been
models for econo my in operation and
are in better physical condition for
the production of dividends than any
other system in the United States.
The fact that they are unable to hold
their own at this time is not very en-
couraging for the weaker and less per-
feet lines.
The poor showing made by this re-
port no doubt affected the stock mar
ket last week. Until there is an i'm
provement there will be no demand
for either new or old railroad bond
and stock issues.

THE FALLOn CREAMERY co.
Has Attractive Stock Offering
For Local Investors. ASafe
Investment.

Although but half year has elapsed
since the Fallon Creamery Company
was formally organized and the under
taking inauspiciously launched, this peri
odhas sufficed to bring the project into
the classification of a legitimate and
wealth producing industry that serves a
double purpose in our community, name
ly, produces for local consumption sufii-
cient amount of pure, palatable butter
with surplus for export and in turn
disburses among the owners Of dairy
herds in this valley sums of money that
were formerly sent to outside creameries
for their product. Today the only
creamery butter on the local market is
Fallon Creamery, an eloquent testi-
monial to the public spirit of the re-
tailers of the community who have
aided and encouraged the local creamery
undertaking in every Legitimate man.
ner.
Starting of with an occasional churn-
ing, Manager w. r. Robrecht has
succeeded in arousing interest in his
Undertaking to that point where FIVE
churnings averaging 400 pounds each
are turned out weekly. A large amount
Of this product is used by the govern
ment at its dam building operations at
Lahonton. Some is shipped to the
mining camps, and the local market
has been sufficient to date to absorb
practically all of the butter produced
locally.
In the meantime, the creamery has
been equipped with modern machinery,
which enables II to MAINTAIN the high
standard that is a feature of Fallon
Creamery butter. An expensive
ripener has been added, dust proof
cement butter room, cooling apparat-
US. new engines and boiler and various
other things that go to make modern
creamery establishment.
At the outset $500 worth of capital
stock of the company was suscribed for
by leading local citizens, par value of
shares being $40 each. For a short
time, further issues of stock will be
sold to local people, with assurance
that 1t will pay annually handsome
dividend. 1t would seem that local in
vestors are allowing an opportunity for
legitimate investment to go unbidden.

Doesn't know what to Call Townsite

Thomas Dolf is in a quandary. He
has lsnely plated townsiie Oh the
northern part of his ranch, adjoining
the Nevada Sugar Company's big plant,
and, believing that there is something
in name, has given it no cognomen
for the present, waiting for some sort
OF an inspiration or hunch that will cor
rectly direct him IN this momentous
task. Some have suggested Dolfyile,
others Rabbitville, while still other
friends Of Churchill county's foremost
Democratic statesman are Of the idea
that Podunk Crossing would be high
ly suitable designation.
In suggesting names to Mr. Dolf
well wishers should bear in mind that
the townsite in question Is calculated to
be the home of a large corps of work
men upon whom it will devolve TO make
the Nevada Sugar Company's under
taking pay dividends. What's the mat
ter with calling the new iownsite ''Su-
gara?" Or does this smack too much
of the Nipponese!
