Cause for Considerations.

The inexperienced district school
teacher had exhausted all other ak
pedients for the maintenance OF dis
cipline. Going out into the school
yard, she broke of a good-sized switch
that was growing there and admins
tered primitive punishment to Jimmy
Kelley.
There were strange expressions OF
Mortified amazement ON the faces Of
the children, and when school was
dismissed at noon they gathered In
excited groups and talked IN whispers.
Finally the teachers curiosity could
stand 1t no longer. Calling Henry
Thomas to her, she demanded the
cause OF the discussions.
Why-why teacher, he
stammered, "that-that switch you
licked Jimmy with-that was the tree
we all set out last Arbor day."-Har-
per's Magazine.

A AAzEA COMEDY or ERRORS
Constable Arrests Another Off.
Ger Because He Looked Like
a Fugitive Criminal.

Constable Sharkey, who makes the
shedding at Hazen somewhat hard for
malefactors and undesirable citizens, is
setting en- up quite freely these days.
He acknowledges he's the goat.
One day last week Sharkey received
telegram from the south to arrest a
certain much-wanted crook who was
supposed to be aboard the incoming No.
q. A more or less vague description
was gwen.
When the train pulled in Sharkey
promptly boarded it. and it was no trou-
BILE at all to locate his man. He was
sitting in the day coach. "You are IN
der arrest, my friend, " he remarked as
he laid the heavy hand of the law on
the shoulder of the suspect
The hell am, remarked the lat
ter. whats eating on you, anyway?
My names Shirley, and am a deputy
sheriff from Goldfield. am on my way
to the asylum at Reno with this bug
house man"
At this the bughouse individual got
into the game. He denied he was non
eompos, and wanted Sharkey to go on
with the arrest of his keeper But Shir
ley had credentials with him and soon
satisfied Sharkey of his identity. And
the first round was on the latter.

DESERT OFFERS OPPORTUNITY
Statistician Blanchard r'Ieads for
Greater and More Rapid Ex-
tension of Reclamation.

New YORK, Feb. 12.-"The necessity
of expedting the reclamation of in
creased areas of our desert land is OBJ
vious," said C. J. Blanchard, statisti-
clan of the Reclamation Service, in an
address before the Union League Club.
''rhis is apparent" he continued, when
we consider that 80, 900 good American
citizens are leaving our country every
year to take up homes under another
flag because opportunities in this coun-
try are limited"
"Our public domain, once an empire
in extent, today offers no opportunity
for the poor man., said Mr.. Blanchard.
ut will not produce crops without an
expenditure of money beyond the means
of the average citizen.
The investment of half the cost Of
the Panama canal would add vastly to
athe national wealth." Mr.. Blanchard
said, and continued:
Conservative engineers say there
are yet 30, 900, 600 acres of desert land
to which water can be supplied, and
80, 900, 600 acres of swamp and over
flowed lands which can be drained.
The economic Importance of such a
work as this scarcely can be realized.
The reclamation of this vast area would
provide homes on the land for 2, $50, 900
families, each family occupying a forty
acre farm. The addition to our nation S
wealth in land values alone would be
not less than 411, 900, 600, 600, or ten
times the amount of our national debt. "

ENTERpRISIhG BURGLARS BUSY
Two Stores in Town Broken Into
This Week and the Robbers
Get Away Safely.

Burglaries of the rankest amateur
sort are coming to be fashionable in
Fallon. Numerous attempts were made
during last week TO enter various houses
in town, and the attempts eliminated
Sunday night, when C. E. Coe, the jew
eler, and j. P. Martin, the tailor, each
suffered losses of goods pilfered. In
each instance, entrance was effected
, through window in the rear, and sev-
eral apparently had hand in the work,
judging from footprints in evidence on
Monday morning.
Mr.. Coe figures his loss around 800,
consisting Of cheap watches, fountain
pens, pocket-knives. rings, etc. The
best iewelry was locked in the safe,
which was not disturbed. Much cut
glass and valuable silverware was left
\ in the showcases, tending to prove that
the burglars left before they had COM
pleted their work.
However, Martin, the tailor, was not
given the same consideration by the
burglars, who took everything in sight,
including dozen suits of clothes which
were pressed and hanging on the clothes
frames ready for delivery. The
loss will be around $500.
In the meantime, thievery has been
rampant in town for several weeks.
Rev. Price lost valuable buggy robe
one evening last week, and some bold
person purloined fur robe, sack of
flour and new pair of trousers from
Earl Swingle's rig as it stood in front 1
of the Kent store Saturday evening.
Small things left lying around careless
ly by householders, chickens, and even
clothes on the housewives clothes-lines,
are being levied upon constantly, al
though many small losses, are not re-
ported to the officials, which is not as it
should be, for the sheriff and marshal's
office should be given every possible as
sistance and every clue in the effort to
run down and rid the town of the band
of thieves that are now thriving under
our very noses.
Time was not long ago when the
towns property was immune from
the thief. Petty stealing is a new thing
for Fallon, but now that it has made its
appearance no time should be lost in
experimenting the guilty parties and
making examples of them.

MUST PAY UP SUBSCRIPTIONS
Sugar Company Bringing Suit
Against Delinquent Stock
Subscribers.

The Nevada Sugar Company filed
suit Yesterday in the district court,
through its attorney here, W. 5. Wall,
against w. II. Sifford, formerly of this
section but now a resident of Berkeley,
to compel Mr.. Silford to pay over $1,000
and take sugar stock TO this amount.
It is alleged that at the beginning Of
the campaign for the factory in Fallon
Mr.. Sifford subscribed for stock of the
value figuring in the suit, but that since
then he has not paid any installments
nor signfied Willingness to do so.
This suit is one of many that are TO
follow Immediately against delinquent
subscribers for capital stock OF the Ne
vada Sugar Company.
The best sentiment of the community
is decidedly with the sugar company in
its efforts to make defaulting subserib-
ers pay up. As a business man ex-
pressed it yesterday, "The money that
was subscribed locally is to be regarded
as the towns bonus to the enterprise.
IL was small enough at best, but 1t was
accept, d in good faith by the promoters
of the proposition and they invested
their money. Today we have the finest
equipped sugar factory in the country,
the best advertisement Fallon ever
had, and in common honesty We ought
10 pay our ante.

A Drummer Donates.

Sheriff Arid enriched Douglas coun-
ty to the amount of $26 few days ago
and at the same time made travelling
salesman as mad as a wet hen. The
sheriff was warming his shins in local
saloon, when a drummer happened in
and opened up strong line OF talk to
the proprietor as TO the quality OF his
cigars. He waxed eloquent as he pro-
ceeded, and wound up by selling 1000
of his perfectos. He had the cigars in
his trunk and could make immediate
delivery--which he did. Then the sheriff
got busy and found that he was selling
goods without license. He escorted
the salesman to the office of the justice
of the peace and helped him to secure a
license which cost him S26.-Gardner-

DON'T WANT ROTATION SYSTEM
Meeting of Water-Users Oppose
It---Three Years for Home
steaders is Favored.

Water-users from every part of the
project met at the courthouse Saturday
afternoon at the instance of the presi
dent of the association, Hon. r. L.
Douglass, who short time ago issued
a call for a meeting to consider three
subjects of the utmost Importance to
this project, viz: The graduated pay
ment plan, the proposed three-year res
idence for homesteads within govern
ment reclamation projects and the ro-
tation system of irrigation.
These matters formed the texts of
numerous talks made by project farm
ers, and vote of those present showed
unanimous desire for the graduated
payment plan and the reduction of the
residence period from five to three
years. Likewise, it showed that every
one of the many present, with but two
exceptions, was decidedly opposed to
the rotation system that is now in eff
feet in the distribution of irrigation
water to project landowners.
H. W. Marean, superintendent of ir-
rigation, was summoned to the meeting
aud interrogated concerning the new
plan. He stated that in all instances
where injury would result to growing
crops through the rotation system that
continuous flow would be provided,
and that the best interests of the far
mer would form the basis of water dis
Irritation and not arbitrary enforcement
of the idea. Mr.. Marean seemed bent
upon placating the antagonistic feeling
present.
Committees were appointed by the
chair for the drafting and circulating
of petitions that will ask for the grad
uated payment plan and the three-year
residence amendment. The committee
having these matters in charge is COM
posed of Leon Whitsell, S. j. Rogers,
K. P 0sgood and DIR. 7. L. Richardson.
]. S. Gray and c. w. Renfro form the
newly appointed grievance committee
that will receive complaints in regard
to the new methods of water distribu-
tion.
Despite the more or less strenuous
campaign that has been carried on to
convince project farmers of the virtues
of the rotation system, the valleys ag-
riculturists are still arrayed against the
plan and are doubling Thomases. If
they are to be convinced it is the right
thing it will require lot of demonstra-
tion, and failure in this-if judgment
may be formed from discussions heard
everywhere hereabouts-will result in
very vigorous protests from the pro-
ject farmers.
