Make Dance a Success.

The Truckee-Carson Cup Ball, for
which the young ladies of the project
are working so earnestly will take place
Thursday evening at the pavilion.
Music will be furnished by the Jewett
and Fitz orchestra. Beautiful pro-
grams have been prepared for the oc-
casion and the girls will act as floor
managers. The competitor for the
prizes offered by the drug firms of Fal-
Ion has aroused keen rivalry be-
tween girls selling tickets. Each young
lady is out for first prize and quite
naturally she is keeping her success:

FAIR MATTERS SATISFACTORY
This Falls County Fair Viii
Surpass Previous Efforts.
Costly And Useful Prizes.

Matters relating to the Truckee- Car
son fair are rapidly assuming definite
shape. The race track has been sur
veyed and the coming week will see the
work started in putting in the necessa-
ry fences and grand stand. 1t is the
fair management intention to give
cash or splendid farm implements as
first prizes for the different exhibits,
and scheme is now on foot, which, if
it natures, will allow of the giving Of
cash second and third prizes in each
competition. All those desiring to ex-
hibit at the fair should begin to get
their products into shape.
The fair officials have requested this
paper to ask exhibitors who will enter
the potato, wheat. oats and barley
competition to bring their products In
bushel baskets. This will facilitate
handling and judging. Each product
on exhibition will have its own section,
so that fair visitors can see at a glance
in comprehensive manner what is
produced on this project
Prizes will be offered for the season S
best colt from a registered French
coach sire; also from a Percheron draft
sire. The COW giving the greatest
amount Of butter fat daring the fair
period will return to her owner a very
handsome and useful prize. Here is a
chance for the Fallonites who have been
blowing about the wonderful qualities
of their COWS. To the budding chicken
experts, your interests will be looked
out for, so get busy preening up those
phenomenal birds. Hogs will have a
squeal coming if they are not looked
after. Get busy with the grain and do
the stuffing act; some good cash prizes
have been rooted out for the swine.
An official announcement will be is
sued in printed form in the near fu-
ture, giving the amount of cash prizes
in each competition, or the implement
to be awarded. Baker & Hamilton,
Sacramento's biggest implement house,
will give 500 beet seeder; Matthews
& Kohlhoss will give standard make
of mower and other prizes; Fallon
Hardware Company valuable milk
tester; |. II. Kent Co. something good;
Morris-L -Loring Drug Company are un-
decided as yet what farm product will
receive their prize; Dobbs & Danielson
will give prize; so will j. w. Vannoy
w. w. Williams will announce his prize
later.
Everybody is boosting for the fair,
and if the event is not the biggest
thing that ever happened in the county,
then we are poor judges of what enthu-
siasm spells.

Terrell Townsite Plated.

Parties returning to Fallon from the
new camp of Terrill are virtually of
the same opinion concerning the possi-
bilities of the district. Every shot
fired in the new shaft, where Ed.
Thomas has the contract for sinking
| $50 feet, diseloses richer ore and wider
pay streaks. Some of the specimens
brought in the fore part of the week
by Mayor Sherman; A. +. Price and
others, are exceedingly rich in silver.
The ore contains about one ounce OF
gold to forty ounces of silver, there
fore the latter metal, in free state,
is not visible to the unaided eye, except
occasionally when very rich specimen
is found. Ore of marketable value and
in quantity has been opened in many
places on the property now under bond
to the Wingfield Company, and If, as
is reported, these people throw open
their ground to leasers there will be
something for men and teams to do
every minute at Terrell. A townsite
company is being organized by Fallon
men and those who desire to get in on
the ground floor can avail themselves
of the opportunity by calling at the
Overland Hotel. Lots will be put on
the market at nominal figure so that
all may share alike.
The road to the new camp is being
put in fine shape by crew of men un-
der the direction of Miles Cochran, who
being a farmer, naturally feels that
good roads to this new market for ranch
produce, is matter of vastly more
than passing Importance. AS there are
but four or five short stretches of sand
to be found in the 20 miles of road to
Terrell, it will not require great deal
of work nor heavy outlay of money
to put this highway in first class shape.
Bud Williams, Joe Howser and Jim
Smith went out in the Williams car
Tuesday morning to look over the work
and note what progress is being made.
They proceeded on to Terrell and re-
turned the same day. 1t remains to be
seen whether the people of Fallon are
sufficiently wide awake to grasp the
importance of quick action and earnest
effort in showing the outside the advan'
tages this route to the new camp has
over any other.

The NEW TELEPHONE BUILDING
VIII Be Handsome Building And
Unique In ThatItIs Only One
In The United States.

The Churchill County Telephone
building is assuming shape under the
direction of Smith & Williams the con-
tractors who have the job in hand.
The cement block walls are nearly cam
pleted and the next task will be the
carpenters. 1t will not be long be-
fore the building will be ready for oc-
cupancy when the new telephone
switchboard will be installed along
with other paraphernalia. This build
ing is county property and upon COM
pletion, it will be substantial adjunct
to the county's telephone system.
Though its building has been criti-
cised in some quarters, if the county
is to maintain telephone system foi
the convenience of residents of thi:
valley, the exchange building is needee
and the need will increase as time goes
along and the system is enlarged
Churchill county is the only county II
the United States to own its telephone
system, and it is conducted strictl,
upon cooperative lines.

COMBINED HARVESTER BURNS
A. c.. Schindler's Combined Har-
vester And Traction Engine
Destroyed By Fire.

A loss that will approximate $40,
was sustained by A. G. SCHNEIDER, of
the Calvada ranch last Wednesday
when his combined harvester and
traction engine burned, as a result of
fire igniting the leaking gasoline tank.
The leak was observed first as the out
fit was en- route across the field, but
it was not burning and the observer,
hand on the combined harvester, re-
marked that when the opposite side of
the field was reached would be time
enough to repair the leak. A few
minutes later the tank was blaze and
the flames spread SO rapidly that ii
was found impossible to cut the trac-
tion engine loose from the combined
harvester; otherwise the latter piece
of machinery could have been saved
and the loss greatly reduced.
This disaster will have a
serious effect upon the harvesting OPP
erations on the Calvada ranch, where q
large acreage of grain awaits care.
In the meantime, Mr.. SCHNEIDER is be-
ing treated at the St. Helena, Califor.
MIA sanitafium for complication oi
ailments and by his bedside are bis
wife and children. Il is IA matter oi
grave doubt whether he will live, ane
the news of the misfortune on the
ranch is being kept from him.

We hear a good deal about the value
of an alfalfa crop. Some people never

II YOU feed it to your work team you
won't have to feed grain to keep them

Molest Or Use Government
Rural Mail Boxes.

Complaint has been made repeatedly
of the violation Of the post Office regu-
lations governing rural mail boxes,
which has been frequent along route
No One, leading out of Fallon. 1t has
been common practice for many parties
to distribute political literature; adyer-
tising pamphlets and mail order cata-
logues through the medium of the rural
mail boxes, and the attention of the
post Office department has been brought
to the condition. Unless the practice
is abated at once some one is going to
get heavily fined for his temerity and
Postmaster c. B. Ferguson desires that
the public be made acquainted with the
rules before any sort of summary

Project Water Users Organized.

The Water Users of the project met
in the Court House Saturday to the
number of more than $50 and organized
formal organization, following which
plans were discussed looking towards
the future welfare of the project water
system. Hon. k. l.. Douglass, prime
mover in the idea of perfecting wa
ter users organization, was elected
president of the association and DR.. T..
F. Richardson secretary. The organi-
zation will be permanent and its object
will be TO secure harmony and united
front in all undertakings of commun-
ity nature.
The meeting Saturday was largely
one of argument. Two factions seemed
to be represented, one which seemed to
believe that the best method to gain
objects sought is through diplomacy,
while the other seemed bent upon seek
ing to enforce formal demands.
A committee of seven water users
was appointed by President r. L.
Douglass, representing each district in
the valley, whose duty it will be to per.
feet the organization, which must be
organized and incorporated under the
laws of the state to conform to the re-
quirements of the Interior Department
