considered the expenditure of S5,OO0,-

Oglethorpe, Ga; has expressed it's de-
sire to purchase a 5OOO-acre tract at
Admission, Ala, as a maneuver ground,
and another for the same purpose at
Tullahoma, Tenn.
"As evidence of the fact that they
are not favoring their own section and
denying others, democrats point to the
fact that they have passed a metal
schedule seriously reducing the pro-
fits of a great southern industry, and
have reported in favor of free sugar,
to the great detriment of another
southern product. But this argument
fails when it is certain that neither of
these bills could pass the president,
even should the senate pass them.

Uncle Sam make a big campaign con-
tribution to the democratic party, and
I believe the country should know

MAY Be GOOSE
Of GOLDEN EGG

Those who talk about abolishing the
loan fund commissions may be com
mended to the persual of the fable
of the goose that laid the golden egg.
With reference to the suggestion
that loan fund commissions should be
abolished, Governor FreGr said this
morning that, if any such action were
taken, there might not be any bond
money to spend, as the authorities in
Washington might not approve of the
expenditure. However, it is a matter
for the legislature, according to the
governor.
"The present legislature, when sit
ting last, seemed to think that the loan
fund commission for Hawaii was salts,
factory" said the governor.
The governor has been busy on sew,
eral matters lately, and land affairs
have occupied most of his time.

ATTORNEYS ARE ADMONISHED;
CUMMINS BLOCK VALUE HAMMERED

Judge Dole this morning handed
out a little package to some of the
attorneys engaged in the trial of the
Mahuka site case that actually made
them blush, incredible as that may
seem. If his words sink in, as it is
probable they will, there will be
rather less sparring and a little more
professional courtesy in the conduct
Of the case hereafter.
The Judge did not single out any
attorneys by name, which gives eacl
of them a chance to apply the roast
to the rest. But he remarked some
what severely that he had noticed a
decided tendency on the part Of some
of the attorneys in the case to in
terrupt their opponents when the lat
ter were speaking. This, said the
judge, is not professional courtesy
and should not and would not be toll
Grated any longer.
The attorneys for the government
scored this morning when Judge
Dole admitted as evidence all of the
tax returns covering the building
now occupied by Castle & Cooke,
and dating back as far as 1901, The
defense has objected to this on the
ground that the earlier returns were
made by ]. o. Carter, the former
trustee. They contended that only
those returns made by Cushman Car
ter, the present trustee, should he
admitted, but the judge overruled the
objection.
The tax returns were then placed
in evidence, and proved to be very
interesting. They showed that, for
taxation purposes, the premises has
been valued since 1900 at from S25
600 to sS5,OOO, though the chief ex,
pert for the defene claims now th"t
they are worth more than Sl71,OOO
And part of the returns were for not
only the premises now under dispute,
but for additional property of consid
erable extent

About ten o'clock this morning, ac-
cording to the report of Officer Sim

DOUBT OF GRAND
JURY'S LEGALITY

The question of whether or not the
last grand jury was legally constituted
will be argued before the supreme
court next Monday afternoon. The
matter comes upon a question reserv-
ed to the supreme court by Judge Rob-
inson in the matter of Chung Nung,
charged with criminal assault on a
little girl under twelve years of age.
The Chinese was indicted by the re-
cent grand jury, but Lorrin Andrews,
his attorney, interpoEed the plea that
the grand jury that indicted the man
was illegally constituted. Judge Rob,
inson reserved the matter to the su.
preme court, as there are several 9th
er cases in which the same question
has been or may be raised.

The supplemental complaint IS an
amplifcation of one of the general
charges in the earlier complaint and
is intended to show, by way Of ag-
gravation, that, even though any
specific act or omission on my part
which might be proved or admitted
might not be serious under normal
conditions, it should be deemed seri-
Gus in view of the special racial con-

LAKE TAHOE WATER MATTER
Will Soon Be up For Settlement
For Washington Authorities
are Being Urged to Act.

j The matter of adjusting the rights TO
the surplus waters of Lake Tahoe is be-
ing actively worked upon by the gov
ernment authorities in Washington.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher is TAX
ing keen active interest in the settle
ment of this mooted question and his
efforts may be crowned with success at
an early date. He has been striving to
settle the governments differences with
the power companies out of court, but
recently submitted a proposition to al
low the adjudication of the rights
to the lake waters to be settled
in court, which it is said, was refused
by the power companies. Failing in
this, condemnation suits will be pressed
and the encouragement of the United
States has been urged by the secretary
to take immediate action looking to-
wards the institution of condemnation
proceedings.
II seems the negotiations have been
of friendly nature all along and re-
Gently the power company representa-
tives wrote the reclamation department
they would like to help this project in
its present water stringency, but ex-
planned they could not do 30 without
compromising their own interests.
The present more or less favorable
status of the Lake Tahoe matter is due
altogether to the activities of the recla-
nation officials, who realizing the ur-
gent need of the water of the lake for
use on this project have urged the set
tlement Of the questions that have been
so perplexing to the government for
several years whose dilitory tactics the
meanwhile have been responsible for
the disaster that has finally overtaken
this project.
In the meantime, the power compan-
les are clearing the bed of the Truckee
river below the lake outlet dam, in or
der to further reduce the level of the
lake. This work is being done through
a realization of the extreme shortage
of water this season. The object
sought is the fulfllment of the power
companies need during the late sum-
mer and fall.

POST OFFICE WILL Be MOVED
|. H. Kent Co. Secures Award
of Government Contract for
Local Postal Quarters.

Fallon's postofiice is to be moved, ac.
cording to advices received in Fallor
the last of the week from the depart.
ment in Washington. Recently bids
for post offices quarters, together with
heat, plumbing, Offices fixtures, etc.,
were advertised for and numerous local
bids were rendered, the best, in the
opinion of the department being the
offer of the |. II. Kent Co., which is
the recipient of the award.
The Kent Co. proposes to convert
the room in the rear of the grocery de-
partment, fronting on Center street,
into modern office room, install ap-
purtenances to conform to the specifica.
tions and in turn to secure the ware
room space thus lost by excavating a
basement under the entire store. 1t is
estimated that the improvements con-
tempated will cost the Kent Co. in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
1t is believed by those familiar, that
the necessary changes can be accom-.
plished and the postoffice moved within
another ninety days.

THE cITY's IMPROVEMENTS.
Are First Class And Would Be
Credit To Large Town.

Fallon is a progressive little city.
If there are those who doubt this state
ment an inspection OF our municipal
improvements should alone serve to
remove the pessimism. Altogether the
recently completed improvements in
clude six miles Of water lines, elk miles
of sewer line and five miles of electric
transmission pole lines. Mayor George
S. Sherman loaded up his bus Friday
morning and together with a number
of local citizens visited the various
points of interest on the lines of the
water, sewerage and electrical systems.
The first stop was made at the Imhoff
tank just beyond the city's southeast
ern limits on the Davis farm. The
tank seems to be- of perfect construc-
ton and is disposing of the city's sew
erage in very satisfactory manner.
This necessary unit in the city's sewer
age disposal system is the handiwork
of City Engineer E. P. Osgood. to
whom goes the credit for installing the
first Imhof tank in the state. Imhoff,
the inventor of the system draws an
annual royalty from Fallon on the tank
installed of $50.
From here the party was taken to the
city's pumping station, which to those
who have not seen the model little
plant, was a revelation. The machin-
cry includes two pumps, one of $50 gall
Ions per minute capacity and another
one-half the size. These pumps are
now operated by 25-horsepower gas
oline engine which will remain in the
plant as an auxiliary when the electric
system is working, the main work then
to be done by motor that is now in
the plant ready for installation.
