CIVIL SUIT DRAGG|NG ALONG
Damage Case Engages District
Court-Peaney Gets Thirty
Months For Burglary.

The district court has been occupied
since Thursday with the civil suit of H.
M. Blaine vs. Will Danielson, in which
the former is seeking damages for the
alleged alienation of the affections of
Mrs. Blaine, and the case promises to
drag along throughout the week. The
attempt of the defense to place Mrs.
Blaine on the stand in rebuttal of the
evidence submitted by the plaintiff in
the case was thwarted by the attorneys
for the plaintiff, who took advantage of
the statutory provision that wife can
not adduce testimony in court to con-
trovert that of her husband.
The court, with Judge L. N. French
presiding, found time Monday after
noon to sentence R. c. Peaney, con-
victed last week of burglary, to serve
two and one-half years in states pris-
on. This latest addition to the states
criminal roster will be taken to Carson
this week.
Albert Lindsay, alleged high-grader,
will be tried Saturday on the second in
dictment found against him by the late
grand jury. The bill charges burglary.
d. P. Huston, indicted for violation
of the gambling law, was found not
guilty Tuesday evening Of last week

GUvsRhMENT GIVES FIGURES
Department Gives Out Official
Figures in Regard to
Lahonton Dam.

The Reclamation Service gives out
the dimensions and various kindred
hgures regarding the Lahontan Dam
on the Carson River, just below the
outlet of the main Truckee Canal.
ms dam is expected to be one of the
important engineering works of the
West. The engineers have been en-
gagged in preparing the plans for sever
al months. A camp has already been
established to provide for the army of
men and this camp will be connected
with the Southern Pacific Railroad at
Lahontan Station. Several locomotives
are now on the ground to move freight.
The big dam, says the Reclamation
Service Bulletin, will consist of
an earth mbankment having a
length of 1850 feet, maximum hight
OF l25 feet and a volume of about
100000 cubic yards. It will form a
storage reservoir having an area of
II, 600 acres, and capacity Of 100000
acre-feet. The embankment is to be
20 feet wide on top, with an upstream
slope of to /, protected by 2 feet of
riprap, and downstream slope of 2
to protected by IL inches of riprap.
Near the upstream toe OF the dam
there Is a cutoff trench Is feet In
depth, having concrete wall 2 to !
feet in thickness extending to an ad-
ditional depth of thirty feet. The con-
crete spillways are to be constructed,
one at each end of the embankment
having the crest IL feet below the top
of the dam. The length of each spill
way is $50 feet and the water flows
down over concrete steps to a circular
pool in the river bed near the toe of the
dam. This pool will have diameter Of
23O feet and depth of 30 feet and will
serve to retard the velocity of the wa
ter sufficiently to allow its discharge
into the old river bed without danger
of eroding the soil.
"The outlet work consists of twin
concrete conduits of horseshoe shape,
approximately feet in diameter. The
gates are to be operated from a gate
tower at the upper end of the conduit.
The estimated cost of the dam is ST.
100000 and the estimated quantities
are as follows:
Excavation, 268,O cubic yards;
embankment and back-filling, 7l3, 400
cubic yards; concrete, 60,375 cubic
yards; paving and riprap, 26, 300 cubic
yards; steel, 600, 900 pounds.

MAY SUBOIvIDE FARM UNITS
Those Who Have Made Final
Proof May Now Sell Part
Or All.

There are many IN this valley who
may be interested in late circular re-
ceived by the local reclamation office,
having to do with the sale of lands by
parties who have offered final proof,
but who have not received patents,
pending the payment of water charges.
This circular explains how, following
the offering and acceptance of five year
proof, but prior to payment of all con-
struction charges, entrymen may sell
all or parts of their selections. Upon
reading this circular, it would seem
that the government is pursuing the
correct course to facilitate intensive
settlement of its irrigation projects.
When it is understood generally, many
subdivisions of lands now classified as
homestead lands should quickly follow
There are many who are struggling
along with their selections, who now
that they are able to dispose of a part
of their farms, will do so In order to
further improve what would remain
after dividing their places.

Fallon's greatest celebration-th of
the Eagles on Saturday has passed
into history, leaving behind it mem
ory of day of fun-making and recrea-
tion that will not soon be forgotten by
the several thousand people who en-
joved the event.
The program as arranged by the local
aerle of the order was carried out with
out hitch, and the day was notewor-
thy by reason of the fact that it was
unmarried by single unpleasantness or
accident. The best of good feeling un-
iformly prevailed, and the home-folk
We'd with each other in trying to show
the visitors and guests royal good
time. And the visitors all admitted
they had the time of their lives.
The celebration formally opened Sat-
urday morning with the arrival of the
excursion train from Reno at 1890. 1t
brought something over couple of
hundred people from Reno and Sparks,
and delivered its passengers directly at
the picnic grounds west OF town.

ers and bunting, led the way to the
grounds. followed by the crowds on
foot Everyone wanted to try that
barbecued meat, and for two hours the
chefs of the occasion were kept busy
carving beef, pork and mutton to suit
the epicurean tastes of hungry horde.
Everything had been provided in abun-
dance. Coffee was served at one stand,
and at another bread, green vegetables,
etc, were given out with the barbecued
meat. The feast lasted some two hours,
during which time some 600 Or 700 ap-
petites were appeased, and the crowd
was in humor for merry-making.
Silver-Toneued McCarren
The first thing on the program, fol-
lowing the feed, were the addresses by
Lieut.. Gov. Gilbert Ross and Hon. P.
A. McCarren. The former failed to
make his appearance, but the latter
made good the omission. He was intro
duced by E. E. Winters, in few felic-
itous remarks, and took occasion during
his address to compliment Fallon on the
wonderful opportunity offered it to be-
come the center of great state indus
try. The speaker took occasion to in
dulge in little fling at the Governors
veto of the sugar bounty law of the
late Legislature little financial boost
of an industry like sugar-making would
do the state more good than buying au-
tomobiles for the warden of the state
penitentiary.
Mr.. McCarren referred to the good
judgment Of the '49 pioneers who put
brakes to their prairie schooners when
they hit the desert where Fallon now
sits enthroned in its gardens and en-
powered in loveliness. They were ridi-
culed for choosing such desolate and
unforbidding spot-it was country be-
yond redemption. But that these carp
ers were all false prophets the event
demonstrated. Fallon is today the best
known town in the state.
The address was frequently punctu-
ated by applause, and after the speaker
had concluded the opinion was unani-

Then followed the sports of the day.
Some of the events were pulled off at
the picnic grounds, and Others were
contested on Main street later or. The
events and winners were as follows

Bolander, Jim Saunders, Hicks and
shorty" Bolander was the winner,
Jim Saunders second.
10O-yard-dash-Frank Hartman first,
John Maxwell second.
Two local teams contested in the tug
of war, and the picked nine put 1t over
the regular team without much effort.
Although Fallon can boast of its quota
of ugly men, the judges felt that Reno
had overcome all competition, in the
contest for the ugliest man, in the per-
son of Ed Lemp. He had all local op.

The boys footrace was won by Leslie
Sanford against half dozen entries.
There were four competitors for the
fat mans prize-Baih, Sanford, Coat

Reno Visitors
A number of the leading business men
of Reno took occasion of the opportu.
nifty afforded by the excursion to pay
visit to the future great" and all
expressed themselves as more than
gratified at the growth of the beet su-
gar metropolis.
The genoral sentiment was well ex-
pressed by w. w. Watt, member of
Reno's new city council, who remarked
to the Standard man II am more than
pleased a. the steady growth Fallon is
making. 1t is going to make the liveli-
est little city in Nevada
Judge Lee Davis and A. A. Hibbard
expressed themselves pretty much after
the same fashion.
Among the 200 excursionists from
Reno were J. d. Mariner, Jerry Carec-
co, w. w. Watt, Chas. Sadler, A. A.
Hubbard, Judge Lee Davis, Sam john
son, Thomas of John Breuner Co., Man.

Chef Thomas. The excursion crowd
returned home at 4 o'clock.
Dance in the Evening
A dance at the pavilion in the even
ing, which was attended by several
hundred couples, wound up day which
will be long remembered for its many
enjoyable features. The town was the
gamer, too, through the extensive ad-
vertising given the community
good results of which will be realized
for long time in the future.
For this the community is indebted
to the local Eagles and to the executive
committee having the affair in charge,
which labored day and night to insure
success for the celebration.

been made out, but it is believed the
receipts will come pretty close to meet

Renders Opinion on Hunting
License.

District Attorney Woodburn has
rendered an opinion concerning the new
fish and game law. He states that any
citizen OF the United States living in
Nevada, who set. forth that this state
is his home and that he intends to re-
main here, is citizen of the state as
far as the fish and game law is con-
cerned and that he is entitled to fish
ing or hunting license for the sum of
81. A citizen from another state who
desires to fish or hunt in Nevada must
pay $40 for license and foreigner
must pay $25.
This opinion will enable all new
corners to this state to secure fishing
or hunting lisense for 81 II they intend

AN AmptiFleo STATEMENT.

The ready unanimity with which everyone seems to have accepted MT. .Bryan's statement that he was not a candidate Cor public office as implying his definite abandonment of any at tempt to come back appears at last to have irritated the Nebrasian into a significant duplication Of his original statement, Hest it be misconstrued"
 He now announces with distinctness and emphasis that when he was not q candidate he meant to convey just what he said and no more. It was not his intention to have anyone read into that declaration the additional state ment that he might not become a candidate. He is not one now. but that, he insists. does not bind him to a pledge that he will not become one if occasiol and opportunity offer
 This explanation may be lost sight of in the more immediate interest in the notification of Mir Ballinge-'s as- Sertions that he would never resign, and the invasion of Texas. but it's im- portance may grow as 1912 approach es. MT. Bryan's personal following has not been wholly dissipated by recent events in his party. no matter how much the sane and safe may hope it has been. Hcving thus early removed the barrier which his supposed aban- donment of the battle would have ere ated he is now free to resume his posi- tiun in the game when the season opens.
