BARBECUE IS POSTPONE D
Local Aerie Sets Date For Sat.
urday, May goth, That All
May Get Ready.

The Eagles have decided to postpone
their big picnic, barbecue and day of
sports to Saturday, May 10th, when the
public will be given the biggest day in
the towns history. The reason actuat-
ing the change of date, is to give more
time for the elaborate entertainment
being prepared and also to make sure
that good weather will prevail. 1t was
pointed out that so early a date as
originally planned might run amuck of
bad day or two, and to prevent such
a contingency, the date will be May
goth. In the meantime, the Eagles and
their frienGs from everywhere should
bear in mind that they are welcome in
Fallon as the guests of the local Eagles

STATE FARM HAS BULLETIN
Telling About The Nevada Su-
gar Company And Other
Useful Facts.

Under the above caption, the agri
cultural Experimental Station of the
University of Nevada has issued a
pamphlet discussing the sugar been In-
dustry in this state, from which ex-
tracts have been taken, as follows:
The sugar beet factory at Fallon has
been under construction since August
/, 1910, and will be in running order
to take care of the 1911 crop. The fac
tory is to have beet sicing capacity
of 500 tons in "a hours. 1t will be
able to handle $1,000 tons season,
which would mean $50 days operation,
starting the 1st of September and fin
ishing the 1st of February.
During the first season the factory
is planning to handle only about so, :
900 tons of beets which will produce
about ID, 900, 900 pounds Of sugar at an
expense of about three and one-fourth
cents pound. The factory will pay
for beets S4 so per ton for Is per cent,
30 cents ton more for every per cent
above 12 per cent, and 25 cents less
per ton for every per cent below Is
per cent.
On December 10, 1910, contracts had
been signed up for about 1900 acres
of beets to be grown during the season
of 1911. but it is expected that this
acreage will increase to about 5000
acres. The factory will not limit itself
to the surrounding valleys, since with
the new freight rates on sugar beets
in Nevada, farmers within the radius
of 100 miles of the factory can pro-
duce beets and market them at the
factory with good profit.
The following freight rates have
been made on sugar beets in Nevada,

PAPER BUILDS NEW ROAD
Humboldt Star States That
Railroad Will Run to
Caldwell, Idaho.

That plans are now being formu-
lated for the construction of rail-
road from Winnemucca to Caldwell,
Idaho, is evidenced by the fact that
only few days ago the consulting en-
gineer for this project was here snd
in an automobile went over the pro-
posed route as far as McDermitt, on
the Oregon line. The engineer did not
divulge his business here, but rep
resentative of this paper found evil
dence enough to convince him that
this railroad enterprise was the sole
object of his visit here.
1t has been ascertained that the
new railroad is to be a broad gauge
and will be constructed by a company
independent of either of the trans
continental lines that pass through
here.
From reliable authority it is un-
derstood that the construction of the
northern railroad will be begun some
time this summer.-Humboldt Star.

Sugar Company. When outside people
come In and invest their money in
large sums, it is only after a careful
inspection of the field and its possible
future has been made and a stamp of
approval given.
''It sohuld be remembered that the
investing capital is green to the busi-
for it has accrued from other beet pro-
ducing sections, where the sugar re-
sources have been and are being ex-
plotted. In these sections it is not un-
common for sugar factories to pay an
nual dividends of 25 to 80 90.
II have been over this irrigation
project from Hazen to the Carson dam
and from the dam to the Island ranch
district and thence to Saltwater, and
| would say that nature has been
prodigal in its provisions for sugar

adapted to the raising of beets of great
purity and carrying high percentages
of saccarhrine matter and with the
raising Of beets in this valley will come

perity. In the Michigan sugar beei
producing sections, land has risen in
value since the installation of sugar
factories from $40 to $I25 and $3.50 per
acre and the end is not in sight yet.
I'm the Bay City, Michigan, district,
we have seven chicory and two pickle
factories, industries that go hand jn
hand with the beet sugar industry, and
/ would say, after looking over your
valley that it is well adapted to both
the pickle and chicory industry. In
this connection might add that capi-
tai in the east is looking for fields for
exploiting these two last named in
dustries and you need not be surprised
if at an early date, they were added to
Fallon's industries.
81 have been impressed with the
feasibility of placing your lands in
cultivation. In Michigan the work of
removing stumps was much greater
than is necessary to place your
desert land under irrigation in this val
ley. All in all, l can see nothing
but good times ahead for this valley"
Mr.. Bialy left on Tuesdays train for
his home in Michigan. He will likely
return here at an early date, and plans
to spend much of his time here in the
future.

CLIMATE AND SOIL.

Climate-Experience has shown that
the sugar beet reaches its highest de-
velopment in the north temperate lati-
tudes. Although the conditions OF
temperature must be taken into con-
sideration in selecting localities for the
growing of sugar beets, yet in addition
to the thermal conditions must also be
studied those of rainfall or water sup
ply.
The sugar beet requires certain
amount of moisture in order to pro-
duce its normal crop. This water may
be supplied by precipitation in the
usual way, by irrigation, or else the
soil must be of that particular quality
which will allow subterranean moisture
to reach the roots of the plants. The
porous and sandy soils adjacent to
rivers sometimes furnish sufficient
amount of subterranean moisture to
produce good crop in connection
with the rainfall.

TAFT CANCELS TRIP

Washington. Feb. 2.-President
Taft's announcement yesterday that
the southern tour which he had plan
ned to take. early next month, would
be cancelled with the exception of the
visit to Atlanta on March 10, started
political tongues to wagging with ru-
mors that his purpose was to prepare
for a possible extra session of con-
gress in case the present session fails
to enact the reciprocity agreement be-
tween the United States and Canada.
Pressure of business and too many in
vitations to visit places in the south
while making the tour are the reasons
assigned for the cancellation of .he
trip.

81 Paso, Tex, Feb. 2.-The first
clash between the rebels and federal
troops from Juarez, occurred just be-
fore daylight today between Juarez
and San Layuca.
According to the federal troops sent
out last night to meet the rebels, and
who retreated to Juarez this morning,
they brought back three wounded
with them and admitted two were kill
ed, but said they met death In explod-
ing dynamite to wreck bridge.
The troopers declare that they met
the oinsurgents coming into Juarez
on a train and exploded the dynamite
beneath a bridge, which wrecked the
engine of the train. Three were
wounded when the federals retreated,
thew say.
However, it is generally believed
that the federal loss was much heavi-
err, as many riderless horses, num-
ber with bloodstained saddles, have
been coming into Juarez all morning.
James R. Garfield, former secretary
of the interior, was a passenger on
the train marooned when the insur-
gents tore up the tracks Sunday, ana
for three days was held up with other
passengers by the insurgents. He ar
rived in Juarez last,nignt on the train'
which came through after the lnsur-
gents had disembarked about tnirty
miles east of Juarez, and had begun
preparations to attack the border town
today. While the train was maroon
ed the food supply of the passengers
ran out and the insurgents fed them
from their commissary and from beeves

rectos had a number of wounded, ana

THREE SEPARATE INQUIRIES ARE
STARTED WITH VIEW OF PLAc-

New York, Feb. 2.-Three separate
investigations were started this morn
ing to determine the responsibility for
yesterdays explosion of cargo of
dynamite in New York harbor. The
Jersey City police and the federal au-
thorities will assist in all three inves-
legations. The federal authorities,
however, have put the case squarely
up to New Jersey, as the explosion
occurred in Jersey waters.
Definite figures of the dead and in
jured still are impossible. The total
dead and missing is thirty. Seven
dead are in the hands of the coroner
and it is his belief that most of the
twenty-three missing were blown to
pieces.
The property loss will be close to a
million dollars. The blast was prob
ably the largest explosion of dyani-
mite that has ever occurred anywhere.
Fifty thousand pounds went up in
single detonation.
There was a more marvellous es-
cape, however, from much more Sc
rious disaster, that would have de-
stroyed the city. Another fifty thou
sands pounds of dynamite was stand
ing in freight cars on side track
within a hundred feet of the explo-
sion. The cars were twisted and
torn and the boxes of dynamite strewn
every way, but the dynamite, thick
with dust and the debris from the ex-
plosion, was intact in its inch paper
covering.
This afternoon the list of identified
dead stands at nine. with nine known
missing, and "a score of laborers un-

WORK IS ACTUALLY
BEGUN ON RESERVOIR
YESTERDAY TRAIN MADE FIRST
TRIP OVER TRAM ROAD,
HAULING DIRT FOR DAM

After many weeks of preparation ac-
tual work on the construction of the
Camfield dam on the Las Vegas grant
was begun yesterday afternoon. The
first "dinky'' train brought to the dam
site seven carloads of earth and dump
ed the material from the trestle, thus
putting in place the beginning of the
foundation of the dam. This train
was used today and will be worked
constantly. By Monday two trains of
ten dump cars each will be in use.
The trains are loaded by the big steam
shovel, which is located about one
fourth of mile away. They make the
trip from the shovel to the dam site
in quick time.
Busy workmen dump the cars and
put the material in place as fast as it
is hauled to them. The cars are
dumped from two trestles, which are
built on either side of the dam site.
When both trains are placed in opera
tion earth will be brought in rapidly
and the dam will begin to take on
shape and proportion. The material
is being soaked in water as fast as
It is laid in order to make it settle
into pace.
The engineers are gratified with the.
time being made on the work. The
train has proved to bring in the dirt
in little less time than their figures
called for. This means ultimate COM
plet'on of the dam will be accomplish
ed sooner than was expected The
trestles are now 400 feet long. -
