DR.. Hascall Interviewed

DR.. C. n. Hascall of Fallon, and
James Richards, who with 25 or 80
others, came up for the Knights of
Pythas doings. dropped into The
Journal office yesterday and reported
Churchill county going ahead stead
lily after. the conclusion OF the fair,
which stirred things up generally.
The beet sugar mill, DIR. Hascall says,
will be done in ample time to handle
this years crop and if the necessity
required could be completed and ready
for operation inside of three weeks.
1.-THE future of Nevada" Dir. Has
call said, "lies, in my opinion, largely
in the development of the agricul-
tural resources of the state in con-
junction with its mineral wealth.
This is to be done by getting water
from two sources-by the digging of
artesian wells to tap the subterranean
flow that seems to underlie the arid
regien, and by the proper storage and
conservation of the flood water due to
the melting SHOWS.
In this direction much has been
done in the past year and more is
about to be undertaken. The govern
ment reclamation work will do great
deal and with Its example other great
works will be undertaken by private
capital"
Dir. Hascall has taken up a tract
of $4,000 acres under the Carey act
sixty-fve miles from Fallon and about
twelve miles east of the camp of Won
der in the eastern part of Churchill
county. He says that he has the land
and the proposed works approved and
will shortly begin operations. The
water he expects to get from the
streams, from artesian wells and from
pumping where the leyies are opposed

available near Wonder. Reno Journal.

the FALLON PHARMACY CLOSES
Finds Three Drug Stores Too
Many for Fallon and Makes
an Assignment

The Fallon Pharmacy made an as
signment to Kirk, Geary & Co. of Sac
ramento, the wholesale drug firm, its
principal creditor, the last of the week,
Messrs. Bennison, Andersen & Ander-
sen, the owners, finding the business
Improbable and not of sufficient vol
ume to warrant its conduct further. A
representative of the assignee came up
the first of the week and disposed of
the drug stock and sundries to the Nor
ris-Loring Drug Co., while the candies
were sold to the Lahontan.
The former proprietors of the defunct
drug company were enterprising, ener-
getic young men, and made an honest
try to make their business go, but three
drug stores in town of Fallon's size
proved too many by one, and the bust
ness apparently could not return the
necessary profit.
However, all bills are being paid in
full, and the discontinuance of business
is not attended with a single stigma.

Surveying Townships

There are now seven full crews of
surveyors working on township surveys
in this state. The crews are under
direction of United States Surveyor
General Kyle and under the direct
supervision of Captain Slower.
They are surveying 100 townships
and there is crew each in Pyramid
and Duck Creek reservations, survey
ing Indian lands.
As soon as this work is completed
there will probably be 100 additional
townships surveyed, as applications
for land are coming in to the United
States land Office by every mail. The
recent water development by means of
artesian wells, coupled with recognized
advantages of Nevada soil and climate,
are inviting applicants under the home-
stead laws as well as the Carey act.

FALLON AN IMPORTANT POINT
And Is Objective OF Stockmen
Of Several States. No Hay
Viii Be Left Over.

As feeding and fattening ground
Tor live stock FalIon's reputation in
creases each season, judging by the
heavy shipments made to this point
during the past ten days. The ship
inents so far aggregate 224l head of
cattle and GIG head of sheep-aIl
pastured in the alfalfa fields around
Fallon.
Of the cattle, 81 cars were con-
signed to Miller & Lux, being shipped
from Cobie and Wells by S. j. Weeks.
One car is from Deeth, shipped by F.
Small to San Francisco. And "a cars
are from Halleek, shipped by VIM.
Connely, to the Pacific Coast Beef &
Provision Co. at 0xnard, Cal.
Fourteen cars of the sheep are con-
signed by j. E. Noble of Halleek to the
Western Meat Co. He also ships two
cars to the Oakland Meat Co. The rest
of the sheep are consigned to w. w.
NilildWS Dy nlmself,
The movement of miscellaneous
freight is heavier from the local yards
today than ever known before in the
history Of the road. The remarkable
increase in the tonnage shipped to
FalIon is an infallabe criterian of the
rapid growth of this section.
In figuring the number of cattle one
must include several thousand driven in
from nearby grazing sections. The
number now in feeding corrsls exceeds
those being fed at this period of last
year, and those familiar with local con-
ditions aver that early spring will wit
ness the complete consumption of all
surplus local hay.

last week from the Reese and Smoky
valleys with bunch of 1900 beef

chased from cattlemen in the localities
mentioned. The stock, with the ex-
ception of $50 head, were purchased by
Nessrs. Nichols, +. NJ. and Lee Wight
man to feed for the coast market, and
already more than $500 tons of locally
raised alfalfa hay has been contracted
for for that purpose.
The Wightman boys, F. NJ, c. w.
and Lee are among the most progress
siye farmers and stockmen in this val
ley and usually enjoy good profits from
their ventures. This is attributable in
large degree to the fact that they
hustle.

ball game at Reno Saturday afternoon,
which resulted in victory for Califor-

nothing. The Nevada team was pitted
against one of the strongest aggrega-

ing the fact that IL is new and prac-
tically untried, did well better IN fact
than the score indicates. Lester Har-
riman, son of former County Commits
sioner Hartman, acquitted himself
handsomely in the game as one of the
forwards and has already earned the
sobriquet of GRITTY" He is known
in University circles as a nervy, heady
player and is a credit to this county in
both athletics and studies.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. SCHNEIDER Leave

Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. SCHNEIDER, daugh-
ter Amelia and infant daughter, left on
yesterdays train for Woodland, CAL,
where they will reside temporarily.
AS soon as the harvest is over David
will join the family at Woodland, and
from there locality will be sought out
for permanent place of residence in
the hope of benefiting Mr.. Schindler's
health, which has been quite bad for
several months. He was stricken dur
ing the summer with a stomach dis
order, and underwent treatment at a
California hospital, returning home
two weeks ago benefited. During the
last few days his condition underwent
change for the worse, and it is be-
lieved that the high altitude here was
a factor in the misfortune; hence the
change.
A deal is pending, it is said, in
which the ownership of the Calvada
company's holdings may be transferred,
but nothing definite has been done as
yet. Those who know the Schindlers
will regret their departure, and will be
sorry that the plans of Mr.. SCHNEIDER
having to do with the development Of
large stock and wheat farm in this val
ley were interrupted by failing health.

start improvement work. Mr.. Fray is
a native son of Washoe county and is
thoroughly eonversant with what
goes to make success on the farm,
and his acquisition by this valley is
valuable one.
Mr.. Fray plans to make of his ranch

Among the business transacted was
the raising of the county high school
contingent tax, from II cents on each

was taken upon request from the high
school educational board.

NEW BUILDINGS ANNOUNCED
Fallon To Be Added To By Sew
eral Handsome Business
Structures.

| As Fallon goes into the winter, numer-
GUS local realty holders plan to erect
substantial and slightly buildings as soon
as the weather conditions will permit.
In this section frost usually prevails
during the winter months to that de-
gree that makes.the use of mortar nee
essary for the construction of cement,
brick or stone buildings more or less
hazardous. But on the eastern edge of
Fallon Orchard & Galloway are burning
a large kiln of brick, while Busch &
Henricksen, the expert cement contrac-
tors, are ever ready to get busy with
their block manufacturing plant, and if
announcements having to do with build
ing count our local artisans will be busy
throughout the coming year with a gal
axy of new structures.
The most important contemplated
business structure announced to date is
that of George and Ralph dollhouse.
which will be erected sn their lot adjoin-
ing the A. r. Jeffrey building to the
north. 1t viii be built either Of brick
or cement blocks, probably the latter
material, and will cover fully the 30x100
foot lot owned by them. The structure
will be two stories in height, with every
modern appurtenance. Tiled flooring is
part of the plans, while a cement
basement will be under the entire build
ing. The estimated cost of this build
ing is from $4,000 to S12, ,00O
An outside patty has lately been dick
ering for the Toomy lot, to the north
of the dollhouse Bros premises, for
building purposes, but Its sale will be
attended with more or less difficulty, as
1t is owned jointly by several heirs of
the late Thomas Toomy. However, it
is confidently expected that by spring
it will be the site of a fine business
building. The area burned over in 1910
will then be entirely covered with SUBJ
stantial buildings, with the exception
of the sixty feet owned by the Wood
lift Company, which will also build
whenever business demands are such
that the investment will be one of
profit.
In the meantime, Dan Callahan has
announced brick building to occupy
the site now covered with his wooden
building, and still others of our local
realty holders are figuring and weigh
ing eventualities, all with the object in
view of property Improvement. Local
residents also plan additional residence
building, and next season promises to
start off with building slam-bang that
will continue for a long time. The
promised addition of water and sewer
age systems. with electric lights and
power, to come from the government
plant at the Lshontan dam, added to
the property improvements, will mean
that Fallon is soon to become town of
the first magnitude. Indeed, the build
ing boom has been long withheld pend
ing the installation of municipal i'm
pIovements, and with these assured,
and work about to begin, Fallon's
growth must go On and on, aided and
abetted by the agricultural and mining
growth tributary to this entrepot of
small empire.

BOND ISSUE FUND is INTACT
twenty Million Cash Supply
fias Never Been Formally
Allotted.

Although Congress, on June %. 1910
set aside a special fund Of $40. OOO. 600
to hasten the completion of Govern
ment irrigation projects then under
way, not one cent Of this amount has
been expended for The purpose intended

the vaults Of the United States

This $50, ,000,000 is actual cash on

raise the money, for Congress SO word
ed the law as to make available actual
cash In the Treasury, and provided that
II the draft upon the Treasury proved
embarrassing, the Secretary OF the
Treasury could then issue certificates
of indebtedness-the equivalent of
bonds TO reimburse the treasury for
moneys drawn out for irrigation work.
Yet there has been no draft upon the
Treasury, and no certificates have
been issued. The whole 500, 600. 900 is
IN the vaults, not available for any
purpose, having been set aside by
Congress. Meantime, the Reclama-
tion Service is going ahead with its
work in the field, paying all bills from

been expending about $1,000, 900

At the time the $50. O00, 900 bill was
passed there was a great clamor from
all over the West for extra funds to
hurry up work on Government projects;
complaint was heard that settlers were
suffering because Of the delay in get
