OOLF STARTS FERNLEY BALL
Our State Senator Introduces
Bill Amending County Boun-
Diary to include Fernley.

State Senator Thomas Dolf, fulfilling
his promise made to the electors of this
county, by which he pledged himself tc
work for the annexation of the Fernley
district, has made the first move to Sc.
cure for this county the "wedge," des-
cribed in the bill which was introduced
in the senate last Wednesday and re-
ferred to the committee on counties
and county boundaries.
The section having to do with the
boundaries follows:
Section l. There shall be added to
the territory of Churchill County, and
which shall form and be part of said
Churchill County. the following terri
tory, as herein described:
Commencing at the corner common
to Sections, 2, 8, 10 and IL, Township
20 north, Range "a east, M. d. B. and
M. thence south five miles more or less,
along section lines to the south boun-
Diary of Township 20 north, Range "a
east, M. d. B. and NJ; thence easterly
nine miles more or less, along township
lines to the intersection of the present
boundary lines between Lyon and
Churchill Counties with the aforesaid
township lines; thence in northerly
direction, along the boundary line be-
tween Lyon and Churchill Counties to
the present corner of Lyon County;
thence southwesterly along the boun'
Diary line between Lyon and Churchill
Counties to the present corner of Lyon
and Churchill Counties; thence wester-
ly along the boundary line between
Lyon and Washoe Counties to the place
of beginning.
Sec. 2. The said territory detached
from Lyon County and hereby annexed
to Churchill County by virtue of this
Act and described in Section l, shall
constitute township, until changed in
pursuance to law, and named "Fernley
Township"
The bill further provides that elec-
ton, school and road districts shall re-
main unchanged. Also that the pro-
posed annexed portion shall remain in
the First judicial district and not be-
come part of the Eighth judicial dis
trict until January, 1915. Should the
bill become law. the Fernley district
would not share in Churchill county s
present indebtedness. but it would con-
tinue to liqaidate the present debt of
Lyon county, but not the obligations to
come hereafter.

{. J.FREEMAN BACK WITH AUTO
Most Expensive Car Ever Owned
In County and the Best
In the State.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Freeman arrived
home on Mondays train from San
Francisco. Mr. Freeman brought with
him his new automobile, recently pur-
chased in San Francisco, a 55-horse-
power six-cylinder Lozier, which dis
plays class in every feature. Costing
over Sc, 900. it is the most expensive
car ever owned in this county. During
the hey day of mining excitements in
this state, more expensive cars swayed
across the desert, running from excite
ment to excitement, but modern auto
improvements considered, it is quite
safe to say that the equal of this car
never travelled Nevada roads before.
The car weighs over two tons and is
capable of making great rate ofspeed.
In making this last assertion, we know
what we are talking about, for we ac-
cepted an invitation from Mr. Freeman
Monday evening to ride in his car for
five minutes and during this short in
terval of time, we were whisked over
half the length of Churchill county.
The car was driven to an open stretch
of ground north of Rattesnake hill,
where the speed attained was so great
that IN passing the hill, which is an en-
inence visible to the entire valley, it
looked as lean as telegraph pole.
Mr.. Freeman will use his car between
the fine Freeman ranch and other points
in the state, where business calls him.
The nature of bis stock business is such
that at different times in the year he is
required to be over vast area of coun-
try, and his new car is certainly equal
to any emergency that may be put up
on it.
Last Sundays Examiner gave Mr.,
Freeman and his car quite lengthy
writeup extolling the virtues of the car
and the sportsmanship of its owner.

fication of the change in the ownership

sideration.

TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL BONDS
County Delegation Viii Soon
Present Measures for Roads
Bridges and Telephone.

The county commissioners met Satur-
day afternoon and passed two ordin-
ances; one relating to the importation
of stock of various kinds from Califor-
MIA. where tuberculosis is said to pre-
vail and another having to do with the
promiscuous dumping of dead carcases.
The ordinances controlling these two
evils will appear in next weeks ISSUE
The commissioners have also instruc-
ted the district attorney to draw acts
for the county's legislative delegation
empowering the issuing of six per cent
county bonds of total amount of $40, =
900, SIS, 900 to be designated road and
bridge bonds, and $1,000 to be desg-
mated "county telephone bonds. The
money realized from the sale of the
first named issue will be used by the
commissioners board in improving the
county's highway as they deem for the
best interests of the county while it is
proposed to expend $1,000 in securing a
lot and building for county telephone
uses. This department of the county
has been buffeted about at times from
basement to attic; numerous homes
have been had but none have been of
permanent nature and now that the
lack of room in the eoart house is fore
ing the county telephone exchange into
new quarters again, the executive
board of the county deems 1t for the
best interests of their constituents that
suitable building and lot be secured.
Recently at a commissioners meet
Ing appraisers were appointed to fix
value upon the Mrs. Robert Shirley
property that the county might make
the owner an offer for the premises.
The report of the appraisers were re-
reived at Saturdays meeting. Ac-
cording to their view of the matter,
the property, which adjoins the court
house property on the west is worth
s2049. so.

TO SIMPLIFY SELLING OF POWER
A New Senate Bill Grants Great
er Freedom of Action to
Secretary of Interior.

The conference committee of the
houses of congress last week agreed
upon the final provisions of the Warren
bill authorizing the government to con-
tract for impounding, storing and dis
tributing surplus water for irrigation
and to cooperate with private capital
IN the construction and use of reser-
voirs and canals under the reclamation
projects.
1t is expected that the conference re-
port will be adopted by both houses and
the bill promptly signed by the presi-
dent. As soon as it becomes effective
the way will be open for the construc-
tion by private capital of extensions of
numbers of irrigation projects begun
by the government, especially extern
sions, which will irrigate principally
lands in private ownership. The Kitti-
tas project and several minor projects
in the Yakima valley of Washington,
come within this scope as may some
units of the klamath project in Ore
gon.
This legislation was strongly urged
by the board of army engineers that
reported on government projects. I'm
der this bill, the reclamation service
may dispose of surplus waters impound-
ed in its reservoirs and hereafter may
cooperate with the Carey act and
other private enterprises in building
reservoirs and distributing systems.

rendered the Secretary of the Interior,
and it is believed that his authorization
of the government building the trans
mission line might be thus secured. In
this connection, it is pointed out that
the government itself, would in the
event of the installation of such an in
novation, be a considerable user of
power.
1t has already been determined that
two units of 500 kilowatts capacity are
to be installed at the drop. These units
are not to be installed, surely, as a
temporary innovation, and upon COM
pletion of the dam couple years hence,
they would have to be removed or left
idle, unless field for the disposal of
the power generated is developed in
the meantime.
Now, the secretary will certainly see
the business side of this matter, if it is
properly presented to him, and to show
him, is the duty of the citizens of this
town.

A. ]. Williams. formerly Fallonite,
but for two years resident of Espar-

treated with great respect by all
