FALLON TO HAVE BUILDING
United States Senator Nixon ls
Asking $50, 900 For Feder-
al Building For Fallon.

Recognizing the future needs of this
promising city, United States Senator
George S. Nixon on April 10th intro
duced bill in the Senate authorizing
the government to erect in Fallon a
building for federal purposes, the cost
of which, together with the grounds,
is limited to $50, This action on
Senator Nixon's part was forecasted
last fall when during visit to Fallon,
he announced his plan of seeking a
federal appropriation for magnificent
building in Fallon. With the passage
of the bill, which is confidently expect
ed, the usual scramble will doubtless
occur to sell the government the "cor-
rect" parcel Of real estate. But the
government will be governed in the Sc
lection of the site by usual regulations
and in any event the convenience Of the
community will be the main object
sought to be served.
The bill, copies Of which have been
transmitted to Fallon, 10 ~ follows:
To authorize the acquisition of . site
and erection of Federal building at
Fallon, Nevada.
''Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con.
gress assembled, That the Secretary
of the Treasury be, and he is here
by, authorized and directed to ac-
quire, by purchase, condemnation,
or otherwise, a suitable building,
with fireproof vaults, heating and
ventilating apparatus, and ap.
proaches, complete, for the accom-
mediation Of the post Office and other
Government Offices, at q total limit
of cost, including site, of fifty thou
sand dollars.
That the building when con-
structed shall be unexposed to dam
ger from fire in adjacent buildings
BY an open space Of at least forty
feet on each side, including streets
and alleys"

Street Widening Project Again Re-
vived.

WNeu.
The project of widening the stree t
running west from Maine street past
the Churchill hotel for distance of one
and one-half blocks has been revived
and seems TO be in fair way to meet
with success. 1t will be remembered
that this street was reduced to the
width of an alley from the Baptist
church lot to Maine street, and that
from the first named property it Is Of
ordinary width to the edge of the town
site on the west. The great need of
widening the street and making it uni
form has been demonstrated and it Is
pointed out that no time in the future
will ever be more propitious than now.
Last week A. R. Jeffrey circulated a
petition, which has been generally
signed by local taxpayers asking the
city to take action in fulfillment of the
project. The petition recites that the
three lots, each of thirty feet width,
paralleling the street proposed
to be widened can be had now
for s4350, which is undoubtedly
as small n figure as is obtainable and
one that will be materially added to as
time goes along. A part of this charge
would be borne by bene flied property
owners outright, part would be met
by special assessments against proper
ty benefited. while still part would,
if equity be served be charged. TO the
towns general fund, for the street
widening is undoubtedly community
need.

Work at the State Printing Office is
moving along at q rapid rate and an
immense amount of printed matter is
being turned out. Nearly the entire
force is working on the session laws,
which have already passed the 800

State Printer Farnsworth is CENTER

and the complete advance sheets will
be ready for distribution by the first of
the month. 1t will be some time after
that before they will be delivered in

THIS MOTH DESTROYS TREES
II Is OF the Leopard Species and Is the
King of Destructive
Pests.

The destructive leopard moth has
been in evidence for the past few
years, but not until recently has the
extent of its ravages been fully ap-
preciated. 1t has killed thousands
of trees of ali kinds, Golfers Week
ly says, and from present indications
thousands more will be destroyed. 1t
is difficult to control the pest be-
cause OF its habits. Neither the moth
nor the borer eats the leaves, so that
arsenical poisons are useless. The
borer, after entering the tree, re-
mains two seasons, during which
time it increases in size from a quar-
ter of an inch to about three inches
long and the size of a lead pencil. A
small tree can be saved by carefully
going over it and destroying the
pest in its borings. This can be done
with wire or by injecting bisul-
phide of carbon into the holes and
plugging them up. A large tree in
Tested is doomed. The pest rivals in
destructiveness the combined activi-
ties of both the gypsy and brown tail
moths.

Uncle Sam has his trade secret

banknotes. This ink is so valuable
that the government would find 1t
difficult to do any moneymaking
without it, says Harper's Weekly. It

paper used in our currency-a paper,
too, which is to great extent a trade
secret.
