.FALLON'S SCHOOL ELECTION
Passes OFF Quietly Saturday
Afternoon With Record Vote
For Trustees.

Fallon's school election passed off
quietly Saturday afternoon, and much
interest was manifested in the result.
The vote pelled, though representa-
tive of only fractional part Of the
city's voting population, was the larg-
est ever cast for school directors.
For long term, Thomas Dolf had an
open field, while the two short term
places on the loral school board were
contested for by Joseph Howser, DIR. j.
L. Smith, A. w. Lofthouse and John
Dusar The first two named gentlemen
were elected by votes of 69 and So res
pectively, while Mr.. Loithouse ran
third with d votes, Mr.. Dunbar loot
ing the list with 80 votes.
Automobiles were invoked to carry
voters to and from the polls in the pub
lie school building in the western part
of town, having been provided by sew
eral of the candidates for school trustee
honors that their partisans might not
be compelled tohoof it.
1t seems that certain changes in the
personnel of the teaching staff of the
school comprised the issue, and the
election of the members named above
is supposed to mean that these contem-
plated changes will be effective with
another school year.

PLANT LARGE ALFALFA ACREAGE
More Than 5000 Acres OF New
Land Placed In Cultivation
By Churchill Creamery.

Few local people realize the magni-
tude of land development in progress
in this valley. In every direction from
Fallon the farmers have been exceed
ingly busy with the work of reducing
rough desert land into cultivated tracts.
For the most part, alfalfa is the crop
most sought and land preparation has
been principally for the seed of this
valuable forage crop. On the Calvada
and Comst0ck ranches in the Island
district, owned by the Churchill Cream
cry Co, the chief stockholders of the
company being George Wingfeld and
H. j. Kinkai6. 1000 acres has been pre-
pared and given over to alfalfa culture,
while Manager Kinkaid has found time
in the meantime to superintend the
work of preparing and seeding 1900
acres of land to various kinds of grain
chiefly wheat.
Mr.. Wingfeld visited the holdings of
the Churchill Creamery Co, inc, last
Wednesday and Thursday and he was
well satisfied with the outlook for crops
and for further land development. 1t is
the plans OF Messrs. Wingfield and Kin.
kiad to eventually give the the ranches
over to the dairying industry together
with the raising of fine stock and poul.
try. Plans have all been made with
these ends in view and in short time
Lockinge Hornbeam, fine coach stall
lion will be shipped to the Comstock
ranch from the Wingfeld ranch in Las
sen county, Cal.
Other plans include the raising of
5000 turkeys on the Comstock ranch
during the present season, the birds TO
be cross between the tame variety
and the Virginia Wild Bronze. the last
named branch of the turkey family to
be brought from Mr.. Wingfield's Las
sen farm. 1t is planned to fully supply
the Goldheld winter markets from the
Comstock farm.

ENGINEERS MAY STRIKE
Taking Vote On Question Over The
Country.

Officials of the Brotherhood OF Lo-
comotive engineers announced yester-
day that the balloting of the engineers
of the fifty Eastern railroads to de-
termine whether the engineers will
strike if necessary to support their de-
mands for increased wages, is pro-
ceeding rapidly, and that the ballots
received so far indicate that the men
are in favor of strike.
The wage demands already have been
refused and further conferences with
the heads of the roads were suspended
until the Engineers Committee could
take strike vote, which will be an
nounced on April 10th. The ballots
sent to the engineers read in part:
The prestige of the organization is at
stake. Are you willing to support those
intrusted with the carrying out of the
plan of concerted action to the extent
of a strike If in their judgment it is
necessary?"-Sparks Tribune.

youth, he found ir as easy Go separate
confding former Fallonites in a coast
town of their money as it is to get q
cat to drink milk. OF course, he told
his victims that he was member of
the city board of trustees: the game
was made SO much easier by SO doing
and then he proceeded to extract 20
large plunks amid much protestation of
appreciation and promises of quick pay
ment.
But Fallon had ceased to look good to
him. and rather than returning home,
which had formed the basis of the loan
solicited, he beat it for the Dominion
of Canada, where he is said to be So
journing at present. 1t is said that he
writes back that he cares not & tinker's
darn whether news good or bad ever
leaks out from this community to both
er his ears, that he Is having devil Of
fine time, and that life is one sweet
song with the other fellow singing the
strains.
All of which makes US know that life
is pretty uch what we make It and
while the making may seem easier by
slipping in punches of CUFF and ruff
stuff, after all what we get honestly is
all that is really worth while. The SUBJ
ject of this sketch furnishes an ex-
ample that should have more or less
salutory effect upon others predisposed
to follow in his wake. He attained
some prominence in local business cir
eles, was elected = city trustee, was
high in the councils of his fellows, but
did he make good? Well hardly. In
short, a bed bug cannot pull horses
load and that's about all there is to it

Republicans Make Poor Showing al
Primaries.

The members of the g. o. p. have ap-
parently all turned socialist or mayhaps
they were enjoying a vacation last Sat
urday, the date of their county prima-
ries, for the sum total of their showing
in the three largest precincts of the
county, Fallon, Fairview and Hazen,
was SO votes, of which Fairview con-
tributed 30, Fallon "a and Hazen a.
The issue was the election of delegates
to the state convention to be held in
Fallon on May 9th. 1t may be that the
affair was so thoroughly cut and
dried matter that the Roosevelt
followers considered their presence at
the primaries unnecessary.
The four delegates elected without
opposition were: Sam Rosenberg, W.
S. Wall, Bud Williams and C. M. Gil
leece, the latter gentleman hailing from
Fairview. Unless the republicans get
decidedly busy this fall and make a
much better showing, their representa-
ton in the county officials roster will
be light.
The democrats have not called pri-
mary election as yet, but when they
do, it is highly probable that more at
tention will be given the matter and q
vastly larger vote polled.

AR0OR DAY PROCLAMATION
Some Good Advice For Arbor
Day Applying Equally Well
To Other Spring Days.

The planting of tree returns to the
world the largest interest ou the coast
and laber involved in any investment il
is possible to make.
The acorn, planted by some hand in
an idle moment, becomes the giant oak
and generations of men and women, in
childhood, youth and age, will find its
sturdy symmetry grateful to the eye,
and its shade refreshing during the
summers of unnImbered years. The
act which brought the tree forth was
little, few moments or an hour to the
task; but who can compute the value,
throughout its cycle of life, of a ma
jestic tree?
1t is the absence of trees and shrub.
berry, grasses and flowers, which causes
the deserts spell of fear and dread to
men. Nowhere else on earth, as in the
desert country, does man so rejoice at
the vision of trees and foliage. For
they declare hfe in an otherwise life
less landscape.
Every tree planted and cared for in
Nevada is a blessing and an heritance
to the state. wish we could more full
~ appreciate the economic as we'll. as
the esthetic advantages of extensive
tree planting, of those varieties most
adaptable 10 our soil and climate. 1t
is matter of greater public moment
than we as yet appreciate. For Ne
vada's primary demand, today, is for
settlers, and the homeseeker is attract
ed as well by III, things which grace
human living, as these which appeal to
his desire to prosper Let US make it a
point this year, TO plant as many trees
in this state, each man, woman and
child of us, as we can. and care for
those we plant.
Therefore, /. Tasker L. oddie, Gov
ernor of the State of Nevada. in pur-
suance Of the Act of the State Legis-

hereby proclaim Friday, the nineteenth
day of April, 1912, as Arbor Day, to be
observed with appropriate exercises by
the public schools of the State, as con-

ANOTHER NEW ENTERPRISE
Verdi Lumber Company Will
Establish Needed Enterprise
In Fallon.

Negotiations are under way between
the Verdi Lumber Co. and Hon. w. w.
Williams for the purchase by the Verdi
Lumber Co., of eight lots belonging to
Mr.. Williams. situated along the rail-
road right-of-way, running from La
Verne to Maine street, end having a
frontage on the latter street of 100 feet.
Should these negotiations be successful,
as they undoubtedly will be, the pur-
chasers will begin at once the work of
erecting fire proof warehouse about
so by 100 feet, ground dimensions and
two stories in height. The completion
of the building will be followed by the
installation of business in Fallon that
will be decided departure for the
town, for the Verdi people will buy
everything produced By the farmers of
the valley, paying real coin of the realm
therefor. In turn they will carry and
sell to the farmers very much of what
is needed en- the farm, including all
kinds of implements, lumber, cement
and other kinds of building material,
and it is possible that groceries and cer-
tain other forms of wares may be
handled in bulk at prices as low as
quality will allow.
j. D. Andrews, representative of
the company, has been in Fallon for
two weeks, having the work of start
ing the enterprise in hand, and he in
forms this paper that for those whc do
not care to sell al market quotations,
his company will conduct general COM
mission business.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Met Saturday And Issued Order
That District Court Room Be
Not Used Unofficially.

The county commissioners met Satur-
day afternoon AID passed an order for
bidding the use of the district court
room for anything except official bust
ness, an order that was prompted by
certain abuses that have arisen lately.
The sheriff was directed to see that the
order was enforced, and to keep the
rooms locked at all times when not used
officially. 1t has not been so long ago
that DIR. J. w. Worden published in his
Ballot Box that he would give $1,000
whenever an order was made precluding
he and his cohorts from meeting in the
the county's seat of government and
now it is very much up to the doctor to
make good. However, in justice to the
county commissioners, it should be
stated that the order is not the result
of antipitby to any organization or set
of people.
The commissioners also approved the
contract and bond of ]. P. Martin & Co.
painters who have the job in hand of
painting and otherwise renovating the
court house.
Two petitions were presented for ap-
pointment to the position of game

Fallon Aeire OF Eagles To Fit
ing Celebrate The Nations
Birthday.

Fallon Aerie, that bunch of good fel
lows los strong, proposes to act as the
charge d. affaires of a Fourth of july
celebration in Fallon this year that
will surpass all previous efforts, and
at the lodge meeting Monday evening q
committee, composed of Bud Williams,
John Schneider and James Smith was
appointed to interview the business
men of the town and ascertain the SEN
timent relative to the scheme. Present
lodge plans contemplate the biggest
celebration in the state, which will in
clude sports, dancing, music, racing of
all kinds, with a grand barbecue, for
which the local Eagles lodge has al
ready become famous, and funds will
shortly be solicited.
When it comes to celebr ating the
Eagles are past masters, and every
business man who has a particle of To-
cal pride should render all the assist
ance possible. 1t should not be
necessary for local people to travel to
Reno or other points for the mid-sum-
mer recreation that is so badly needed
along about natal day time.
During the week the committee ap-
pointed will make it point to definite
ly determine local sentiment aud what
can be expected in the way Of financial
support and at the next lodge meeting
committees will be appointed for oit-
ferent tasks and the work of preparing
for the big celebration now months
off will be taken up actively.

GUN CLUB SCORES
Local Nimrods Are Doing Well At
The Traps.
afternoon.

The Fallon Gun Club has been max
ing fair scores in blue rock shooting
since its new trap was installed on the
club grounds in the city park. A num-
Der of the marksmen who have only
lately taken up the sport are making
creditable showings and it would seem
that material is at hand for team that
can easily meet and master any other
in the state. Rife practice has not been
taken up but will be at a later date.
The following score is the result of
the shooting up to last Sunday, while
the appended table contains the records
made on that date:

CHECK GOES BEGGING
Five Hundred Dollar Government
Check Isn't Working.

Check Isn't Working.
& The city officials are in quandsiy in
regard to just how to handle $500 check
received recently from the government.
Now government checks do not usually
have to lay around waiting for their
possessofs to determine just how &c
handle them, but in this instance there
is a legal phase to the matter that
warrants careful deliberation on the
part of the city's adviser, Attorney E.
E. Winters. For the check in question
is made out to the City of Fallon, and
il is in effect a reimbursement of the
$500 that was given by the city as a
guarantee of good faith when a bid was
made upon the Lahontan power. At
the time of making the bid, the city
was strapped and public spirited citi-
zens made good the amount by signing
a note at the bank and securing the
cash.
Now that the award has been made
to the city and the contracts all COM
pleted, the government no longer re-
quired the sum and the point that both
ers the city attorney is just how to re-
duce the government check to cold cash
and at the game time maintain a COM
plete record on the city minutes of the
r. l.. r a. a.
affair will be settled.
The city dads met Friday evening
and considered various business, among
which was an ordinance introduced by
Councilman j. G. Jones raising the lid
Oh the city $ saloon policy long enough
to allow one more bar in the town, and
if the ordinance is passed the number

Fine Attractions at Temple Theater
This Week.

%0 " >~@@s
W. D. Clark, proprietor and manager
of the Temple Theater, is making an
honest effort to please the pleasure
loving people of Fallon. His show
house represents an investment of
nearly $4,000, and the class of enter
:ain?nent that rules there is worthy of
the most liberal patronage. Besides
providing the comforts of a modern
place, Mr.. Clark is putting on nightly
shows that would do credit to much
larger town than Fallon. During the
present week, commencing with last
evening the Leroy Hazclton comedy
company plays throughout the week,
and this one attraction, together with
the motion pictures, should prove a
sufficient attraction to induce the
crowds to go thither, bat this is not all
by any means. Mr.. w. +. Burt is
there each evening with the trap drums
and realistic effects which serve to
bring out the fine points in the pictures
and the replica thus produced is ex-
tremely pleasing.
The price of admission, despite the
added attractions for the week remains
as before, 25 cents Tor adults and 10
cents tor children, and crowded houses
should be the Temple theater's portion
this week.
