ANTI-CIGARETTE
LEAGUE OF EIGHTY

Judging from the following from the
Reno Journal, one of Fallon's citizens
has established himself in the anti-cig-
.arette agitation now in vogue:
John Wheeler of Fallon accepts an
Invitation to be present at the Boy S
Anti-C,garette banquet this evening at
tine Congregational church, given by the
the tadies of the w. c. I. U. of Reno.
Although Mr.. Wheeler is an efficient
member of the United Sataes Reclama-
ton Service, he has within few months
taken the time to organize the boys
of Fallon into club with athletic and
other games. Three weeks ago the
club numbered thirty-iive members.
Ma. Wheeler got his boys to take the
ant.~eigarette pledge and the member
ship has now increased to eighty.
Zone of Fallon's best lady teachers
J has been appointed secretary for the
Churchill County Anti-Cigarette League
and she will aid Mr.. Wheeler in his
work with the Fallon boys. Mr..
Wheeler will make short talk to Rene
boys this evening.

Four Hearts that Beat as Two

Fallon society was again surprised
last week by the announcement that a
local couple had gone to Reno and be-
come spliced matrimonially without a
word of advance notice.
The young people are Ruby R. May,
well-known young business man of
town, and Miss Myra Sanford, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Sanford and a
most charming young lady. Both have
hosts of friends here, who wish them
all sorts of happiness in their new re-
lation.
The wedding was performed by Rev.
w. d. Trout, of the Congregational
church at Reno, and the couple left soon
after for wedding trip in California.
They will be gone several weeks.
A postcard from the groom, dated
Frisco, states that they won't come
home until they feel like it.

Another local couple on matrimony
bent has followed the usual and popu-
lar stunt of hiking to Reno and hitch
ing up in martial harness. These latest
at the shrine of Hymen are Miss Alma
Allen and H. ]. Kincaid, two of the
best known residents of the valley.
The ceremony was performed at the
Episcopal rectory at Reno, Rev. Samuel
Unsworth officiating, and was wit
messed. by only few of the most in
innate friends of the contracting par
ties. They left Reno for California,
where they will honeymoon at the vari-
Gus summer resorts, returning home to
Fallon late in the summer.
Both parties are prominent socially
and popular locally. Mr.. Kincaid is a
heavy landowner and stock-raiser, and
possesses extensive interests here.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. j. Allen. of Fallon, and is also
a grand daughter of the Hon. Lem
Allen, former lieutenant governor of
Nevada.

PREDATORY YOUTHS
CAUSE DAMAGE


There is complaint among citizens of
the pranks of some of the boys about
town, and threats of summary steps in
retaliation are made in some quarters.
Some of the owners of business proper
ty, particularly, are in arms against the
practice of defacing buildings with in
scriptions more or less improper. If
those guilty of this offense are detected
they will be treated as they deserve.
One example of their prankishness
that might have led to serious results
is reported. The gasoline lamp in front
of the Unique theater was tampered
with, so that the oil dropped onto the
floor and woodwork and was absorbed.
Luckily Mr.. McCafferty noticed the
lamp had been emptied and took pre-
cautions, else the building might have
been ignited when he tried to light the
lamp, with danger to adjacent property.
1t seems about time for the town
officers to devote little attention to
these young hopefuls.

A CHANCE FOR A NEVADA BOY
To Enter the Army and Help in
Defending His Country's
Starry Flag

Senator Newlands has called atten-
tion to the fact that on September 5
there will be examinations at posts all
over the country which may afford Ne
vada boy chance to become a COM
missioned officer with rank of second
lieutenant in the army, without going
through the usual long time of service.
These examinations will be to select
about 100 second iieutenants in the
cavalry, field artillery and infantry for
the army. They will be limited to per-
sons between the ages of 2l and 27
years.
The physical requirements will be
about the same as for enlisted men
and the mental tests will be of two
kinds-preliminary and competitive.
In the competitive tests graduates of
the University of Nevada will probably
be eligible, that being a university
having military instructor.
The second examination will embrace
history, languages, constitution and
elementary law and optional branches
such as advance language, knowledge,
mathematics and literature.

NO MORE HORSESHOE GAMES

Had Become a Public
Nuisance

A hard-hearted board of county com.
missioners has put sudden stop to q
long cherished and much-induged pas.
time in the courthouse yard. This is
the pitching of horseshoes. The d.
version had become SO popular among
the boys, both red and white, that
from early dawn until dewy eve the
raucous cries Of the players could be
heard, much to the discontinue and
annoyance of lot of hard working
county officers. So complaint was
made, with the result that the sheriff
was instructed to put stop to the pas
time. In future those indulging in the
simple sport must seek the highways
and byways for location to indulge it,

Personal bonds are no longer de
rguer among county officials of Churchill
Judging by the act of two of them in
applying TO the county commissioners
and asking the release of their sureties.

for this was that both gentlemen filed
"a new bond with the National Surety
Go. as their security.
I. A. Taylor was appointed game
warden for the county.
In the matter of the road grading be-
tween Hazen and Leetyille. for which
bids were asked. there were two bidders.
C. w. Hyatt wanted IS per day for
scraper, plow, etc., driver included.
For dump wagon work on the same job,
c. 3. Staup wanted $3.50 per day, and
for seraper plow work he asked sl2 per
diem. The bid was let to Mr.. Hyatt as
being the lowest. A still lower bid,
for 81. so per day, was turned in by S.
W. Miller, but too late for consideration.

SHALL FALLON GET ON MAP !?
Transcontinental Auto Route to
Pass Torough Here If
Fallon Acts

If Fallon wants to get on the map
it will be necessary for it to raise some
expense money!
N. r. Fitzpatrick is in receipt of a
letter from G. S. Hoag, secretary of
the Ely Commercial League, stating
that it was engaged in mapping trans.
continental automobile route across
Nevada, such map to be furnished free
to all auto tourists from the East who
are crossing the state. The route is
already mapped as far west as Ely.
Mr.. Hoag in his letter says: 1--WE be-
lieve the best route will take us through
your city, and we will send out a man
to map the route this month. We are
asking the cities who will be benfited
to share the expense in this work, and
we write you asking that you endeavor
to raise by subscription $25 as Fallon's s
part of the burden of expense"
Needless to say, the project should
receive the heartiest local encourage
ment. The people who make these
transcontinental auto tours are natur-
ally people of wealth and influence,
and every such visitor will be worth
something to Fallon. And now that
the big exposition is to be held in
Frisco, the travel by auto may increase.
If Fallon does not come through in
this matter, it is likely the route will
be mapped south by way of Tonopah.
The people of the latter camp are anxious
to get it, but if it does get it, it will be
Fallon' fault.
Apropos of this subject, the Ely
Record has the following to say in its
last issue:
The recent overland trip make by
Gael S. Hoag, as secretary of the
Ely Commercial League from Ely
to Salt Lake, via Milford, Utah, for
the purpose of securing data for a
new trans-continen'a auto route
through Utah and Nevada, is already
bearing fruit. Mr.. Hoag is in receipt
of letter from the secretary of the
Auto Club of America, acknowledging
the receipts of the maps and other in
formation compiled by Mr.. Hoag, in
which the secretary makes the follow
ing statement:
1--WE will take pleasure in the near
future in adding this route to our
new book, and will advise all trans
continental motorists to follow it,
rather than the old route north of
Salt Lake."
The above practically means that
in the future all trans-continental
travel will be routed via Salt Lake
and Ely for the west, instead of via
Ogden and around the northern end
of the lake, which is a much longer
and harder route. The auto fans of
Salt Lake City will soon have a splen-
did road finished between Evanston and
Salt Lake City, which will also materi-
ally shorten the distance.
Mr.. Hoag expects in the near future
to map two routes from Ely to Carson
City and Reno. In order to do this
it will be necessary for Mr.. Hoag to
make the trip over the pro-
posed route, which will be done in an
auto.

principal and teachers of both high
schools. and the board of school trus-
tees, and the oldest principal of the
high school shall act as chairman of
the committee.
If any county does not name q stu
dent for the scholarship by the tenth
of August, 1911, then the regents may
give the scholarship to any county
where more than one scholarship il
presented.
Where high school principals have
graduates who are desiring to enter the
University of Nevada, and yet are
crippled for lack of funds, correspon-
dence is invited in all such cases.

Reclaimed Nevada" is the title of
neat pamphlet just issued that
boosts the possibilities of agriculture
IN this state, with particular reference
to the Truckee-Carson Irrigation pro-
Ject and the benefits that Churchill
county will derive. The book has
been published by A. F. Price, mem
ber of the last session of the legisla-
ture. At the end of the legislative
session, Mr.. Price, who came from
Mineral county, strayed down to Fal-
lon and spent several weeks in this
section. He became so impressed with
the brilliant future of the district that
he made arrangements to boost the
country by the aid of a pamphlet
which is now off the press.
The book contains fifty pages, with
many half-tones portraying scenes of
Fallon and the adjacent district. Spe-
cial mention is made of the Truckee-
Carson project which has resulted in
more than 200, 1000 acres of land being
irrigated by the federal government.
The government experimental farm at
Fallon is mentioned along with the
fact that successful experiments have
been concluded in reclaiming alkali
land which is now being used to DEM
onstrate the fertility of the soil An
extensive description of the Nevada
Sugar eompapy's refinery is given,
while short articles discuss the sue
cess of ranchers who have made
money in dairying and stock raising.
The book will be distributed through
out the east by the Southern Pacific
Railroad company and the State bureau
of industry, agriculture and irrigation.
A. +. Price, who has just brought
out the booklet Reclaimed Nevada, +"

1t is unfortunate, however, that Mr..

is understood he publishes the book at

Pretty much the same sort of reeep-
tion was accorded Mr.. Buck in his
canvass for his new Nevada magazine,

brought out in August. He proposes
to devote 10 pages out of the l20 to a
review of the Fallon country, and as 1t
will cost at least $500 to simply print
this part of the magazine. he Is at least
entitled to that much support. The
sum will probably be made up by in

The town has been cleaning house
the past week. The fiat went through
at the first meeting of the new council
that the streets, alleys and backyards
must be cleaned up. A pretty good job
has been made of it. The alley west
of Maine street supplied several wagon,
loads of empty boxes and assorted
debris. Everyone is expected to clean
up their premises and put them IN
first-class sanitary condition.
