Ten Commandments.

Not all the following ten command
ments are strictly applicable to Fallon,
but some of them are, ano it will not
hurt anyone to read them all and heet
those that apply here.
Don't throw anything on the side
walk or street; find rubbish can.
Don't tear up paper and scatter il
anywhere.
Don't let any piles of ashes or
rubbish stay in the back yard.
Don't mix ashes and garbage in
the same can. Pigs don't like to eat
coal or clinkers.
s Don't fill the ash bin or garbage
can too full.
6 Don't chalk the sidewalk, fences,
buildings or pavements.
7 Don't deface park benches, school
furniture or any public property.
8 Don't forget that horses love ba-
mana skins. A banna skin isn't danger
Gus if it is inside horses stomach.
8 Don't expect your city to become
clean and perfect all at once. 1t will
become an ideal city only when every
body does something every day to help
make things better.

.NEvADA'S PRINTING INDUSTRY
Is Larger AS Compared With
Others According To
Last Census.

The printing and publishing industry,
which in value of product ranks third,
embraces the printing and publishing of
newspapers and periodicals and book
and job printing In Nevada were "a es-
tablishments in 1900, an increase of %,
or 86.2 per cent, over the number re-
ported in 1904. There was also an In
crease of $266, ,346 or 1868 per cent
over the amount reported for 1904.
The number of newspapers and peri
odicals in the State increased from 80
in 1899 and 81 in 1904 to SO in 1909.
The SO newspapers and periodicals re-
ported in 1909 included Is daily papers,
2 2Sunday papers, Ia weeklies and 2 tri-
weeklies. The aggregate circulation

Equalization Board Meets.

The county commissioners met Sat
urday as board or equalization. The
county recorl er was asked for list of
the uncancelled mortgages, which was
furnished. This comprises 81 instru-
ments and the owners nave been noti-
fled by the county clerk to appear be-
fore the board at its meeting set for
Saturday and show cause why the
mortgages should not be assessed ac-
cordng to their face value.
The school tax levies in several dis
tricts were lowered as follows: district
No. 8, from 40 cents to 20 cents on

PRIVATE IRRIGATION SCHEME
Over IN Elko County Attracts
Though Its Offerings Are
Few Compared To Ours.

The newest of Nevada's journals.
the Metropolis Chronicle, which issued
No. One of Volume One on the 10Th
inst, has reached our desk and is a
ereditable publication. Metropolis is
the new tawn promoted by Salt Lake
capital and is located some miles off
the Central Pacific tracks in Elko eoun-
ty. Wells is the nearest railroad point
now, though it is claimed the S. 2.
company is about to build a branch
line to the new town. It is interest
ing to note that the Carey Act promo
ters, who are behind the reclamation
scheme and the new town, are selling
water rights under their system for
$62 so per acre, while the land to be
irrigated is held at an additional $50. 90
to 5000 per acre
These figures are double those pre-
vailing in this great government irriga-
tion project, where the stability of the
irrigation system, the character of the
soil and the growing season are all far
and away ahead of any private irrigation
undertaking in the inter-mountain coun.
try. Still, the private Carey Act pro-
jects thrive while the government pro-
jects are characterized by lassitude and
the development is slothful, though
none the lees sure. In casting about
for an explanation of this analogous
condition 1t is easily found in the dis
parity of the methods Of exploitation
used ny government and private cor
porations. In one instance every effort
possible is made TO induce the earliest
settlement at any cost, while the gov
ernment is conservative even to re-
diculousness in the exploitation of its
irrigation systems

About State finances.

All reports from the different asses.
sors throughout the state are to the
effect that valuations in every county
will be raised this year. Not only the
corporate values throughout the COM
monwealth show an increase, but the
farm sections are turning in some big
reports. This, with other resources, it
is figured, will help the States finan-
cial condition materially after the first
of the year, or as soon as the taxes
are available in the State treasury.
In the meantime close figuring is going
on in the financial circles about the
capitol building. The largest amount
of revenue ever received from taxation
is to be poured into the treasury in the
next few months. The figures will be
available within the next few weeks.

Attempts Suicide.

One Lewis, formerly worker in

tempted suicide in Hszen Sunday morn
ing by cutting an artery in his arm and
attempting to cut the juglar vein with
pocket knife. He was overpowered
and brought here for treatment. DR..
Gardner attended the would be suicide,
being obliged to ligate the arm artery.
Lewis is a young man of about 30
years of age and had been drinking
heavily for some time prior to his at
tempt at making away with himself.
He is now receiving treatment at the
county hospital and his condition will
doubtless allow Of his being around
within few days.

THE NEW CLARK THEATRE

The w. ID. Clarke theater is nearing

having been set for about November /.
Busch & Henricksen, the cement work.
ers, have exerted every effort to make
this structure all and more than called
for by the contract, and if the exterior
appearances count for anything, they
have succeeded admirably. The build
ing will seat about 500 people, when in
use; it will be equipped with regula-
tion theater chairs and will be heated
by steam. A commodous and artistic
gallery will run across the front and
here large number of theater goers
will sit in the future, it being van
tage point in the local playhouse. The
stage and dressing rooms will be con-
veaientIy arranged and the building ss
whole will reflect credit upon Mr..
Clarke, the owner, Busch & Henrick-
sen, the builders, and the community
as a whole.
Next TO the theater Is Mr.. Clarke's
pavilion where dances and other fupc.
tions requiring much floor space will be
pulled off in the future as now. Later
on Mr.. Clarke, who is an owner of mules
in large numbers and an enthusiastic
advocate of Fallon's virtues, will have
erected on The corner adjoining the
theater business building.
Fallon's new theater will be . des
cided ornament to the community and
is destined to be the center Of attracs
tion for local folks for many years.

passed through Fallon the last of the
week on his way to Terrell, where he
is interested.
There is something of poser fof
our war maniacs in the fact that the
least civilized countries of the world
are the ones which are always fight
ing. Central America is ignorant and
poverty-stficken and it is seldom at
peace. Spain is poor, proud, lazy and
benighted, and its instructions are
always breaking out or being suppress
ed. No doubt it is very glorious to
fight, but enlightenment. peace and
comfort also have certain charm.

HE TRUCKEE- CARSON FAIR
Closed Friday With An Attend
ance That Broke All
Local Records.

The Truckee-C Carson fair held We'd
nesday, Thursdey and Friday was on a
broader scope than attempted previous
ly and received the plaudits of people
generally whether homefolk or from
the outside. The racing events were
all interesting, the grouping of the
farm products and other exhibits in the
pavilion was comprehensive and tasty.
The stock pens had many animals that
would be eligible for prize most any
where.
The fruckee-Carson Fair Association
has from the outset maintained annual
fairs entirely without state aid. To To-
cal citizens entirely is the credit due
for past successes, and this years fair
has exceeded all previous ones in mag
nitude and cost of production. No
data, save approximations, is available,
relating to the finances, but enough is
known to be able to state definitely
that the disbursements and receipts
will at least balance. When 1t ia known
that the cash and utility premiums
given totaled close to $4,000, of which
s2, 100 was in actual cash, while the ad-
ditional value was real and not fancied
lbeing represented principally by farm
appurtenances) the amount of local en-
6eavor centered in DR. 7. 4. Richard
son is at once apparent.
Plans arc being formed for the in
corporation of the fair association and
stock will be sold with the end in view
of securing long lease on the fair
grounds, erecting pavilions and stock
sheds and centering all fair attractions
at that point. In this respect wise
selection has been made for the grounds
sre close in, allowing easy handling Of
crowds and by grouping all fair at
fractions there, comprehensiveness
will have been had.

month, thus throwing the main reli-
ance for the project upon the Truckee
river, which was carrying water dis
charged from storage in Lake Tahoe.
The power company in control
Of Lake Tahoe again came to
the rescue and, at the request of the
Reclamation Service, was discharging
from the lake about $50 second-feet of
water not needed by them for power
purposes. The second crop Of alfalfa
was being cut throughout the projec,
and large part of 1t was stacked.
Grain was being harvested with
satisfactory yield. The beet crop was
not in good condition and has caused
some disappointment. Satisfactory
progress was made on the sugar beet
factory and it is expected that the
apparatus will be completed in time for
handling the small crop of beets this
season. Potatoes and onions and other
minor crops were in good condition.
General business conditions on the pro-
jeet were fairly good. The activity in
the surrounding mining camps afforded
an outlet for produce or labor wherever
a surplus prevailed. A new strike OF
gold ore, 30 miles south of Fallon, oe-
casoned temporary rush of business
to the transportation and local merean-
tile interests. A few inquiries for
agricultural lands were received and
occasional transfers of private lands
with water rights were made.
