Lecture on Abraham Lincoln

Prof. R. C. Thompson, assistant
professor of Greek and Latin at the
Nevada state university, delivered an
exceptionally fine lecture on abraham
Lincoln, at the county high school audi
torium Friday evening. Only a fair
sized crowd was present, many who
should have attended missing real in
tellectual treat. Prof. Thompson's lec-
ture was in reality character study Of
the Great Emancipator, and his fund
of knowledge of Lincoln's life sufficed
to keep those present enwrapt as it
was unfolded by highly pleasing de-
livery. Prof. Thompson hopes to come
to Fallon again and speak on the life Of
Robt. E. Lee, that spotless man whose
one mistake was his stand on Civil war
issues, a mistake of the heart and not
of the head.
Prof. Thompson is one of Nevada's
able young men, intensely earnest, and
his services as public speaker are in
growing demand.

Catholic Ladies Ball q Success.

the latter a niece of Father Horgan,
were hugely enjoyed by the large crowd
present. Miss Harting sang, while Miss
Horgan in inimitable manner Irish jig
and sword dances.
The total receipts of the evening were
Sl3S. 10, with expenses of S43.75, leav-
ing balance of s94 35, which was turn
ed over to the building fund of the

WORK At The LAH0NTAN DAM
Now Going Along Perfectly With
Large Force and $4,000 Is
Being Discussed Monthly.

The Lahontan dam work is now pro-
ceeding along in a highly successful
manner with working organization
that is harmonious and perfect in all its
details. About 230 men are now en-
ployed in the various departments, and
the monthly disbursements total around
$40, 900, the chief item, of course, being
labor. Good progress has been made
on the cutoff trench, which has been
completed across the river bed, and
after being dug to depth varying
from 30 to az feet, grutting was inaug-
urated at depth of from 90 to 72 feet.
Under this process liquid cement is
being forced into the rock assures un-
der an air pressure of 100 pounds.
Good success is being had in filling these
assures, and when the present work is
completed the bed rock upon which the
dam is to rest will be solid mass of
rock and cement, wholly imperyious to
water.
The great hydro-electric plant at the
dam, which will shortly be sending a
part of its subtle power to Fallon for
municipal use, has been shut down but
once in four months, and on this occa-
sion for but three minutes, to allow of
the replacing of fuse that had been
blown out. The machinery of the plant
is working so perfectly that it would
seem that Fallonites need have no fear
of interrupted service, once the town is
connected up by the transmission line
that will be under construction as soon
as the necessary poles can be delivered.

INTERESTING BALL GAME
Fallon Loses To Reno By Good
Margin But Has Fine
Material.

Playing with a marked reversal OF
form, Fallon's baseball team went down
to defeat at the hands of the state uni
versity lads on the local diamond SUM-
day afternoon. The final score of to
about represented, insofar as figures
can represent, the class of ball put up
by the two teams. 1t seemed that the
local boys had the game well in hand
until the game was half over, when
ragged plays, including poor fielding,
and poorer throwing, was responsible
for number of Reno runs. Higgins,
who occupied the mound for Fallon,
was strong with his strikeout arm, fan
ming 10 to credited Ferris, the uni
versity pitcher.
The one thing noticeable about the
brand of ball showed out by the local
team, was the lack of team work. And
weakness at the bat was not the least
fault of the local aggregation. But de-
spite these shortcomings, the Fallon
team did not play up to its true form,
by long odds. There is such thing as
luck and there is still such thing as
good playing, very essential feature
of which is team work, and when the
local talent, which is certainly far above
the average, has had sufficient practice
for each member of the team to become
familiar with the style of play of his
fellows, there is no team in Nevada
that can do what Reno did Sunday.
The newness of the local grounds was
also something OF a handicap to both
teams. 1t was as slow as plowed field,
a fact that is best attested by the num-
Der of bases pilfered. But the Fallon
diamond, lately laid out in the city
park, can easily be made INTO one of
the best, needing nothing but few
liberal applications of aqua pura to
bring about perfect condition.
The receipts of Sundays game were
$79. So, while the expenses were S75,
leaving a slight excess for the baseball
clubs fund. In addition numerous seas
on tickets have been sold for SIS each,
and altogether, the local clubs finances
are in decidedly good condition.

is FOUND DEAD IN THE DESERT
Andrew johnson Met Violent
Death Near Parren. Leaves
Money In Bank.

The body of workingman, who APP
parently had met death by foul means.
was found on the desert, near Parren,
Ia miles east of Hazen, Sunday even
ing, and coroner's inquest was held
on the following day by Justice c. G..
Swingle. of Hazen. Investigation de-
termined the fact that the deceased
had suffered violent death, though all
other facts surrounding the case were
undetermined for lack of evidence. The
remains mad apparently lain at the spot
where they were found for a month or
six weeks, though they were in good
condition. Being half mile from the
railroad track and away from the beat
en- path of travel, the coroner's jury
was of the opinion that they had been
deposited there after death.
Among the effects found were letters
determining the fact that the deceased
had borne the name of Andrew John
son and that he was about 35 years of
age at the time of demise. A bank
book. showing a good sized deposit with
the Mercantile bank. of Lovelock, was
also found. Interment was had Mon
day afternoon al the Hazen cemetery.

WEALTHY LADY PASSES AWAY
Mrs. Abram p. Williams Dies In
San Francisco Thursday.
Left Large Estate.

Mrs. A. P. Williams, reiet of the

a brother of Hon. w. w. Williams
and a half-brother of George b. and E.
L. Williams, passed away in San Fran

PROJECT ENGINEER TALKS
Says There Will Be Need For
Economy, But No Crop Short
age Is Expected.

When asked regarding the water sit
uation on this system, Project Engineer
d. w. Cole said Monday that while the
conditions would likely preclude too
generous use during the last half of the
1912 season that there was really no
reason at this time to believe that any
crop shortage would result from the
greatly diminished supply of water that
will be available for use this year as
compared to what has been usual here.
Mr.. Cole believes that the use of the
rotation system will prove quite effec-
tive, both from the view points of econ
omical distribution and effective crop
growing, and that when fully inaugur-
ated and comprehensively understood,
will have few objectors.
The Lake Tahoe supply will be utiliz-
ed throughout the season, the lake be-
ing some eight inches higher now than
at the corresponding period last year,
though the snow supply in the noun
tains is less than one-fourth that which
lay on the ground a year ago, being
now but "a inches. But the problem
that most concerns the reclamation Of
ficials at this time is just how to get
the 500 cubic feet of water that will be
used by the Truckee power company,
the great retaining structure erected at
the outlet of Lake Tahoe, insuring a
uniform flow throughout the low stages
of the Truckee river. In times past
unrestricted use of this water has been
made by these who farm in the Reno
section, though the government officials
have used every effort possible to have
the state engineers office determine
the water rights that apply and see
that no more than is lawfully owned is
used.
Mr.. Cole stated that there is no reas-
on why land development, that has so
strongly characterized farming activi-
ties this season, should be abated, for
in any event, there should be sufficient
water available for several thorough
irrigations of all cultivated areas in the
project, and by using all the water sup
ply now in sight in an economical man
ner hardship that might otherwise en-
sue will be averted.

Fine Ranches Leased.

E. P. Mclean recently leased tract
of l56 acres, So acres situated along
the Carson river, to Vincent Becci and
Tony Mungalo for term of years, for
which he is to receive a rental of $500
per year. Mr.. Mclean retains suf-
ficient acreage to keep him out of mis-
chief during the term of the lease.
Simultaneous with Mr.. McLean's s lease
A. +. Branch, his nearest neighbor on
the east, leased a portion of his fine
ranch, consisting of 100 acres of river
bottom land, to Vincent Mori for a
rental of $500 per annum, also exclud-
ing sufficient of his ranch from the
scope of his lease to keep him busy
with farm work.
Both tracts will be given over to
onion and potato culture.

County Commissioners Meet

The county commissioners met Sat-
urday and passed upon a few claims
against the county. The real purpose
of the meeting was the considering of
the matters of sewering the court house
premises and the painting of the coun-
ty's seat of government. These were
held in allegiance in order to get esti-
mates from mechanics.
A claim for road work, amounting to
SLIPS, filed by the Nevada Wonder
Mining Company was rejected on the
ground that the work had not been
authorized. A claim for $195.30 filed
by the Southern Pacific tax attorney,
alleged to be due for excess tax mon
ey paid on property listed, but claimed
not to be owned by the railroad COM
pany was also rejected by the board.

LOSES HOME BY FIRE.
Charles Wainscott Suffers Loss That
Renders Family Homeless.

Mrs. Charles M. Wainscott and three
little children had narrowing expert
ence early last Wednesday morning,
when their home burned down while
they were asleep in a tent adjoining,
while Mr.. Wainscott suffered a loss
that is partly covered by insurance.
The latter had risen at daylight and
started out for town, from where he
carries the rural mail, leaving a fire in
the kitchen stove. 1t is presumed that
the building caught in some manner
grom defective flue. Nothing was
saved from the flames save a sewing
machine, while all of Mr.. Wainscott's s
papers, including his army discharge
and souvenirs of his experiences in the
Islands went up in flames. Currency
to the amount of $105 was burned
while S25 in gold, was recovered. not
much worse for the fire.
Mr.. Wainscott was notified while on
the way to town of the disaster, and re-
turning found his wife and little ones
without clothing, save their sleeping
garments. Kind neighbors quickly pro-
vided for them, and he proceeded on
his rural mail route. When he returned
in the evening provision had been made
for his loved ones in such liberal man
her, that he was overwhelmed. He is
extremely grateful for the assistance
that was extended.

games of the evening were then begun
