SIMPLICITY.
THE CANAAN FIRE COMPANY

A splendid start has been made toward the formation of a fire department an Canaan, and the organization is actually in sight. The result accomplished at sh% meeting in the Town Hall Tuesday evening is valuable and important sequel to the insistent and persistent agitation by the Canaan Business Mems Association since it's awakening to active and useful life, and adds another mark to the credit of that public-spirited organization.
 Chairman Wigglesworth, of the Business Mems committee, who was chosen foreman of the temporary organization with a shout. and will certainly be the permanent foreman, has gone about the business of master ing the situation in manner that fully justines his appointment on the committee. and his election to the foremanship. He has made an intelli- gent examination of the needs and the resources of the district with relation to the subject of fire protection, and given an intelligent and intelligible report of conditions as he found them, and the requirements and needs that must be met in order to provide something like adequate protection, against fire. He has secured quarters for the apparatus and, taken steps to have the equipment put into irst-class shape-and ac Acknowledgement is due the executors of the Canfeld estate for their generosity in placing at the disposal of the company the building in the rear of the block, which, at slight expense may be admirably adapted for the requirements of the company-and the Berkshire Power Company for volunteering to light the quarters free of expense.
 The selection of Frank Whiting and George P. Hardenbergh, and their unanimous election as assistant foremen, Tuesday night was a becoming reoogni- tion of their fitness, They are energetic and public spirited young men, who will give to the official board not only character but ability and genuine and patriotic interest in the organization and it's usefulness.
 In reaching this definite stage we have really made long and important stride in community progress. An organized company of fremen will be tangible evidence of earnestness, and it will be less difficult to secure public support, once the organization becomes an ac- complished fact, than when the plans and purposes of the ''progressives'' are in embryo, indefinite, vague and "all in the air" The people of Canaan will look upon the organization as something to be proud of, and the Canaan fire company will take rank as local institution of consequence in the business and social economy of the village. And The News confidently predicts that the company will want for nothing in the way of equipment, encouragement or support that could reasonably asked for by any institution of It's kind in town of Canaan's size and resources,
 Incidentally It may be remarked again, the progress thus far made is another evidence of the benefit of having live Business Mems Association in a community.

With the arrival of proper apparatus
for the testing of weights and measures,
to be used by the Weights and Measures
Commission in carrying out the law
passed by the last Legislature, the off,
cials of the experiment station of the
University of Nevada, will start out to
enforce the law, according to the state
ment made by Prof S. c. Dinsmore,
who will have charge of the work
The apparatus now on hand at the ex-
pertinent station is not standardized,
while the apparatus already ordered will
be first sent 10 the United States bureau
of standards for Standardization. So
delicate is the equipment that variations
OF any weight down to fraction of an
ounce can be detected. From this outfit
a working set will be standardized that
will be used for field work.
Seventeen States adopted weights and
measure bills during the last Legislative
session, and practically all coincide with
the measure passed by the Nevada legis-
lature. In addition to the states in
which like laws are now in force, it is
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1911-08-12

estimated that practically half the states
are working under the same laws.
Prof. Dinsmore stated that he had re-
ceived many inquiries from large manu-
featuring associations asking for details
of the new law and all stated that they
not only favored the legislation, but
would observe and comply with the nee
essary requirements. A large biscuit
company has already submitted samples
of labels that will appear on the pack
ages containing the product, which
states the number of buscuits contained
in the cartoon with the net weight. The
National Gamers Association, National
Wholesale Grocers Association, National
Retail Grocers Association, and MANY
other large associations are in favor of
the law and have started to comply with
the many requirements.
Prof Dinsmore several DAYS ago re-
ceived the appointment of expert in the
bureau of chemistry of the United
States department of agriculture, in rec
ognition of the splendid work he has
done i'll enforcing the pure food and
drug law within this State.

Last Wednesday night, or rather about
, O'Clock Thursday morning. two men,
named Bud Williams and AL Mann, took
Arnold Maher's two horses, the grey
running horse and the chestnut driving
animal and struck out for parts un-
known. They also stole a set of double
harness from Dave Paquint, light road
wagon from Arends & Hanson, two sad
dies from Maher and possibly some
other things around town. When the
road wagon was taken it had the shafts
in it and pole nearby, and after cross
ing the river the thieves took out the
shafts, put in the tongue and hitched
the horses up double, then they had a
pretty good team to travel with. The
men went about the theft in the boldest
kind of way, and it is understood that
for several days before the horses were
taken Williams intimated that he was
going to take them to get even with
Maher for some real or fancied wrong.
Thursday morning, as soon as the ami
mails were missed Constable Ambrose
and Deputy Sheriff Bugbee secrued rig
and started out on their trail which was
not hard to find. AT 8 O'Clock Thursday
afternoon the officers caught up with the
men at the Yperiguerie ranch at Sweet
water, about 81 miles southwest of Yer
ington When confronted by the Off
GERS the men made no resistance and
submitted quietly to arrest. stating that
they were only out on a little fishing
trip and intended to bring the stolen
horses and articles back in few days.
Williams is a man over so years of
age and has been around town for a
month or so spending the money he
made working on the new power line.
Al Mann is a dope fiend who blew III
here from Virginia City a couple of
months ago, and the escapade is more
than likely the results of a drunken
hop headed dream.
4; The men will have their hearing before
the Justice of the Peace next Monday
and will undoubtedly be held to appear
before the grand jury on charge of
horse stealing. and possibly some other
charges.

Possibility Of New Butter
Factory for City Of
Yerington

There is a chance that Yerington may
have another industry started within her
boundry lines in the near future, and
that is butter and cheese factory and
creameay Parties are now investigat-
ing the proposition of locating here,
and if they undertake the project they
will put in one of the finest up-to-date
plants that can be procured.
They have already looked over this
valley and found it an ideal place for
dairying and also know that with good,
sanitary appliances the finest butter in
the world can be manufactured here.
They also estimate that as soon as the
mines and smelter start up that the
surrounding neighborhood and home
trade ought to consume a thousand
pounds of butter per day. This would
be quite a nice little business, and when
it could be shown that there was money
in the business for dairy owners and
mixers the output would probably even
be larger than 1000 pounds per. for the
increased output would readily find sale
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1911-08-12

in the southern camps and even San
Francisco. There is considerable cream
now being shipped to Reno for butter
production, and it will be the idea of
those who are considering the new en-
terprise to meet conditions that will pre-
vent any cream being shipped out of
this valley. In fact the projectors be-
lieve that they can pay within couple
of cents pound of the San Francisco
market price for butter This PROPOSE
ton has just been brought to our atten-
ton and the details of the project can
not be fully gone into at this writing.
In all probability the new company
would amalgamate with the present
Yerington Creamery Company, whose
plant is some miles south of town. The
new plant would be located in the city
for the reason that it is the center of
the valley and would accommodate
mixers from both north and south ends
AS new industry for the city it might
be well for business people to investi-
gate the proposition. If some new bus
mess can be created all aroundit would be
beneficial and nobody would be the loser.

An article has been published in a
number of the papers in the eastern
part of the State to the effect that a
worm of some kind is doing damage to
number If alfalfa fields in Smith Val
ley and that the first crop has been in
iured to considerable extent. There is
some mistake about this, as an inquiry
of Smith Valley farmers gives the TIMES
the information that there is no alfalfa
pest in Smith Valley and that the crop is
exceptionally good and clean and that
the second crop promises to be better
than the first

The Board of Directors of the Lyon
County High School had meeting this
week and elected Professor l.. w Bart
lett as Principal OF the school. Miss
Sihyl Howe had previously been elected
assistant teacher of the school, so there
is yet one more teacher to be elected to
fill the bill. There will be between
forty and fifty pupils in the school at the
coming term and this number is going
to crowd the school considerable for
room, but the directors think they can
get along for the term without outside
room. Things look different now than
when we were told that there was no
necessity for High School in Lyon
county and that the school would not
have dozen pupils to attend.
This year the Directors have arranged
for full commercial course and par
tial agricultural course in connection
with the regular course. The agricul-
tural course will be a complete one next
year.
Profe ssor Bartlett has been given
authority to purchase the equipment for
both the physical and chemical labora-
tories and he will have the necessary
appliances here on time.
The Lyon County High School has
already taken its place in the front rank
of such schools in the State and has been
given the highest credit of any such
school. 1t is going to grow to be one of
the finest preparatory schools in any State
and the time will soon come when pnpils
from all parts of the county will be in
attendance at this school. They are
coming from all parts of this end of the
county now. Professor Bartlett. who has
just been elected Principal, formerly
taught in Dayton, and he comes to Yer
ington very highly recommended.
