CHURCHILL COUNTYS WEALTH
Shows Material Increase Judged
By New Assessment
Roll.

The 1911 assessment roll for Church
i'll county is now in the hands of the
clerk, Assessor ]. w. Sitton having
completed his work and relinquished
possession of the roll Monday. The
total assessed valuation of this coun-
tvs property as shown by his figures 10
So, 672, 225, an increase of more than
half million over the roll of last year
which listed property Of value in
round numbers of SO, 3,09S,0 900. OF the
increase on this years roll, something
like one-half is represented by the in
creased valuations placed on the rail-
road property, the remainder repre-
senting the increment on the county's
wealth.
The Board of Equalization will meet
next Monday, and taxpayers will be
heard from time to time until the first
Monday in October, when redress will
cease.
Assessor Sitton has made q highly
creditable showing this year. He has
built up system, including compre.
hensive system of property maps, that
will prove of great value to the county
In the future.

II True Should BE Corrected.

Numerous complaints are going up
relative to the reclamation department
in turning out men from the Lahontan
dam working camp who are sick and
who soon find their way into the eoun-
ty hospital where they receive treat
ment at The eounty's expense II is
put forward that payment Of hospital
fees are exacted from these men and
that in turn the government has failed
so far to furnish the hospital, for
which the fees are collected. 1t is said
that the dispensary at the dam COM
prises few pounds of epson salts, and
that proper medical and hospital faci-
llties are not furnished.
This paper understands that District
Attorney w. S. Wall is investigating
the condition, with view to having 1t
remedied, if possible. The govern
ment is all powerful, but it is about
the last agency in the world that
should misireat its workers.

SINK
OUR COMING COUNTY FAIR
Promises To Be Most Instruc-
tive And Interesting Event
Ever Held Here.

The Truekee- Carson Fair will be in
full swing one week from today. The
signs are not wanting at this time that
this fair will be the most interesting
ever held within the state. The possi-
bilities for good are far reaching.
While amusements will not be lacking
on this occasion the true method and
purpose of the fair has not been over
riden by the amusement idea; some
thing that often occurs. Amusement
has place at county fair, but not
quite the most important one. Races,
vaudeville shows and what not are
well enough as subordinate features at
fair, but when they become too
prominent and crowd everything else
in the background they ruin the enter
prise. For fair is not circus, nor
can farming community be interested
for several days successively in circus
frivolties.
Our fair promises to be happy COM
bination of sightseeing, entertainment
and instruction. The management has
been cognizant all along of the oppor-
tunity and mission of fair. 1t has
worked On the theory that the farmers 3
brain is his best friend and has sought
to 80 arrange fair matters that it will
be a comprehensive exhibit of what
the valley as a whole has accomplished
during the past few years. The fair
period of next week will give all local
folks recreation of the reflective, social
sort.
Unfortunately for the complete sue
cess of this years fair, the season has
not been overly propitious. Crops have
not fourished as is usual, and as a re-
suit the scope of the agricultural ex.
hibits will be more limited than other
wise would have been the case. But
don't forget that next weeks fair
will be in epitome the seasons accom-
plishments. Don't come in and view
the fair with the idea of being hum
bugged, for it is going to be worth
your money; every cent and then some.
There will be scores of object lessons
afforded by the event and the man who
fails to profit thereby will be stupid
indeed.

Roger Vaughn Burned Out.

R. c. Vaughn came in Saturday from
Fairview, where his store burned down
Thursday with all its contents toge-
ther with the postoffice and several
nearby residences. Mr.. Vaughn, in
addition to losing practically all his
worldly possessions, suffered serious
injuries from the fire, being burned
severely along his side and bsck. He
estimates his loss at 81, 500, while the
total loss as result of the fire will ap.
proximate $4,000, with no Insurance,
it being impossible to get protection
from insurance companies for property
located in mining camps il this state,
where no fire fighting facilities are at
hand.
The chief loss, aside from Mr..
Vaughn's was sustained by Mrs.
Wasser, Fairview's postmistress, who
is dependent upon her own efforts for
a livlihood, and had only recently saved
up a sufficient sum of money to war
rant an investment in Fallon realty.
This she purchased on late trip to
this town and she was contemplating
the early erection of suitable home.
The fire is supposed to have had its
origin from gasoline fumes and leakage
in the Vaughn store. 1t is believed
that a match was dropped near the
gasohng tank, later being stepped upon
thus starting Fairview's first fire.

DAMS ARE MAIN THEME
Secretary Fisher and Director
Newell to Attend-How to
Spend Fund Best to
Be Discussed.

To plan the most effective way of
suendng money on the unfinished Gov
eminent irrigation projects in the
West and to devise means of making
conditions more comfortable for entry
men on the projects, the principal re-
clamation engineers OF the west, head
ed by Director General Newell and
Secretary of the Interior Fisher, are
meeting in Boise, Idaho this week.
Among those present will be E. G.
Hopson, supervising engineer of the
Pacific district. who will leave for
Boise Sunday.
Mr. Hopson says the meeting will be
Of much interest, as many problems
are to be solved, particularly in the
best way of spending the money ap-
propriated for the various projects.
The Truckee-C Carson project has receiv-
ed total appropriations of $1,000. 900.
The method Of expending this money
to the best advantage will enter into
the general discussions at the Boise
meeting.
Besides the financial discussion other
problems will be considered, among
which are; The means of preventing
seepsge ard alkali; methods by which
entl ymen may obtain Government
losns; possibilities Of new legislation;
Improvement in operation and works
size Of farm units; preparation of in
formation for settlers.
Director f. II. Newell, of the rec
lsmation Service, will be at the meet

GOVERNMENT TO SINK WELL
Geological Survey To Drill 1000
Feet Near Dudley Ranch
To Prospect Ground

The geological survey of the govern
ment will soon start well boring ex-
pertinent at point near the Dudley
ranch northeast of Fallon, where under
charge of Hoyt S. Gale, well drilling
machinery will be erected during the
coming week and work inaugurated.
1t Is planned to go down to depth of
1000 feet andit is understood that the
primary object sought is the discovery
of body of potash. 1t will be remem-
bered that not long ago this country
and Germany became mixed up in a
diplomatic embroglio over the impor-
'tatlon of this country from Germany of
potash for fertilization purposes, and
this move may be taken as indicating
that Uncle Sam is desirous of develop
ing in his own country this greatly
needed product.
For long time Investigations have
been conducted quietly in this valley
by the geological survey and the fact
that the first tests are to be made
here would Indicate that the gov
eminent considers this the most likely
potash field in the United States. The
presence Of large bodies OF aalt augurs
Ion about 20 miles are located the G.
w. Kinney salt deposits, where the
purest product known Is being added to
each year by the exudation of springs,
while to the north Of US In this county
are the Eagle Salt Works, from where
salt has been exported for many years.
The commercial value of potash will
be seen when the demand set forth by
the following paragraphs is noted;
In 1900 the United States imported
$40. 600. 900 pounds of Kainit for ferti-
Iizer alone, and 200, 900, 600 pounds of
other potash salts, used in the manu-
facture of glass, soap, explosive powd-
ers, alum, cyanide potassium, bleaching
powders, dye stuffs and many others
in the chemical industries.
In l5lU the importation Tor 1ertlilz-
ing purposes alone had increased to
1900. 900, 900 pounds valued at So, $50, :
600. Over $1,000, 900 worth of other
potash salts were imported that year.
Kainlt is mineral compound of the
sulphates of potash and magnesia, with
magnesium chloride.
There are those who hope that the
test about to be made by the govern
ment will develop flow of oil, for
which conditions in the Saltwater seem
propitious, but those familiar with the
geology in the district about to be pros
pected aver that the old lake bed de-
posits are deeper than 1000 feet in the
Dudley neighborhood, in which event
the development of oil could not occur.

Municipal q Ownership

Commenting on the fact that Win
nemacca has taken the preliminary
steps TO secure a municipal water sys-
ten, the Elko Free Press says:
This is along the lines of modern
IDEAS where the towns should own all
the public utilities. such as the water
works and electric lights. Elko no
doubt will have an opportunity in the
next few years to consider this ques-
tion-whether private individual liv-
ing In another State should be pre-
sented without cost valuable franchises,
or should the town itself retain it's
own money, now that goes away"

despite the fact that many laid off
from farm duties. In number of in
stances country schools closed for the
day TO afford the pupils an opportunity
to see their first airship.
1t would afford the good folks of this
valley their first opportunity to witness
a heavier than air machine plodding
through the air following closely the
early immigrant trails over which the
empire builders Travelled in the forties
and fifties. To have attempted to fore
cast conditions as they have transpired
in those early days would have been to
make ones self the laughing stock of
his auditors.
Owing to the fact that negotiations
with Fowler were taken up Senator
Douglass at late hour, his proposed
stop has not been generally advertised,
save in a mouth to mouth manner.
Now with negotiations complete there
is still very large element of uncer-
tainty surrounding the proposition, but
at any rate with no information at
hand, but the announcement from Alta
that the fight will be continued,
another trip to this thriving burg by
ruralites today would seem to be justi-
fled though they should come prepared
to be disappointed.

Indians Should Be Kept on Reser.
vations.

An effort is to be made to have the
commissioner of Indian affairs order
all of the Piute Indians on to the reser.
vstion and to have him order them
kept there.
At the present time many Of the
Flutes are off the reservation and spend
their time in this city and elsewhere In
the state. =
There is marked difference between
the Indians on the reservation and
those Indians who remain off the reser.
vition.
The Indians on the reservation sell.
dom get chance to secure any liquor,
and are of higher standard of In
dian.
They have more intelligence, live
better and are healthier than their
brothers who spend their time in the
camps around Reno and elsewhere in
the state.
If the Indians could be kept on the
reservation all the time and not be
allowed in the town except when un-
der guard of Indian policement or gov
ernment officials, there would be very
few of them drunk and the federal
officers would not be busy all the time
making arrests for the violation of the
federal statutes prohibiting the sale of
liquor to Indians.
A number of the local officials and
the government officials in Nevada
have for long time advocated the
proposition of having the Indians kept
on the reservation.
At the present time there are many
Indians in Reno who have not been on
the reservation for years and they are
all addicted to the use of liquor. These
Indians are the ones responsible for
so many federal arrests in this state. -
