Activity in Behalf Of Lower Taxes
and StateAid for Fruit lnspec-
ton Commended-Experience
and Training Fit Him for De-
served Reelection.

Senator Frank J. Allen has done
more to reduce taxes in his one-half
torn as State Senator than any
other man sent to the legislature
from this county," says an excerpt
from a written endorsement signed
bv 11S prominent fruit growers of
Yakima and Benton counties. Real
ling that this is a critical time in
fruit legislation and recognizing the
valuable services which Senator AL
len rendered that industry, horti
culturists have not been backward
in pledging their support to him.
It was at their request that he be
came a candidate to succeed him
self.
Senator Aliens legislative record
is the best proof of the value of the
service he rendered. Not only was
he active in behalf of measures de-
signed to maintain taxes at a mini
mum, but he exerted untiring eff
forts in behalf of measures which
have since proved of great benefit to
his constituents and the state of
Washington.
Today we are indebted to him for
the law which makes possible COM
mission government for cities other
than of the first class-a law which
has proved beneficial, financially
and morally.
Had it not been for the efforts that
Senator Allen exerted in tn e
behalf of an appropriate n
for fruit inspection at state ex-
pense, fruit growers would now be
burdened with the dreaded inspec-
ton fee, which would have proven
most disastrous to that industry.
His support of the measure to
submit to the people of this state an
amendment to the state constitution
providing for the Initiative, Refer
endum and Recall, shows his IL
terest in the movement to place the
government directly in the hands
Of the people. His amendments to
that measure were simply designed
to remove constitutional objections
to the bill as drafted.
The bill providing for eight hours
work for women, as first introduced,
included fruit pickers and packers.
This feature was eliminated after
strenuous efforts, and fruit growers
are indebted to Senator Allen for
his vigilance in this matter.
Important and needed legislation
will come up for consideration at
the session of the Legislature this
winter. Senator Allen has drafted
bills covering among other things,
a Commission Form of Government,
for Counties. a Corporate Fraud Act,
Ia Taxation System patterned after
that of Pennsylvania and Mothers
Pension Bill.
1t is Senator Aliens contention
that counties should operate under
Commission Form of Government

enter the contest, though any one
whose name appears on the registry
list may vote at the school election that
will be held in Falon district on April

Thomas Dolf having expired on that
date.
Candidates for the posi- tion of school
director must file notice with the coun-

THE CITY WORK PROGRESSES
Substantial Showing Made By
Contractors Having Sewerage
and Water Systems in Hand.

Work on the city's sewerage and
water systems continues apace. Though
the $40, coo originally appropriated for
the sewerage system was exhausted
last week with the completion of the
system to the alley on Center street
half block west of Maine street, en-
terprising local citizens banded together
and raised S7100 as a guarantee to the
Western Engineering Company that
there would be no loss, and in the mean
time the city authorities are busy with
the work of preparing for an additional
sewer bond issue of SIT, 600, which will,
it is said, complete the system to every
part of town and afford the household.
ers of Fallon the long desired opportun-
ity of having sewerage privileges. Mon
day the trenching machine was placed
at work on Williams avenue sewer line,
which will be one of the main connect
ing links of the system into which will
discharge numerous lateral lines. This
line will be half mile long, running to
the city's corporate limit on the west.
In the meantime the water system pro.
ject has not been idle. Up to Saturday
evening something like $500 feet of
water pipe trenehing had been complet-
ed bringing the excavation to a point
near the John Oats home, and pipe lay
ing has proceeded for 5000 feet. The
pipe is now laid to the top of Fallon
Butte, upon which will rest the great
high ribbed reinforced concrete reser-
voir, and the pumping station at the
foot of the hill has been completed for
use.
With the completion of the sewerage
trench along Williams avenue, the
trenching machine will again be placed
on the water system work, it being es-
timated that pipe laying will then have
been completed in all finished ditching.
This change will take place in day or
two and the work on the water system
will be rushed to completion, following
which the work of building the remand
er of the sewerage system will be TAX
en- up.
The Western Engineering Co.. of
Oakland, Calf, is doing good work, on
theif contracts with the city.

MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH
Working Man at Lahontan Falls Into
Machinery

A young man bearing the name of
Whitney was instantly killed at Lahon-
tan Thursday night, shortly after re-
turning from his 10 p. m. lunch. While
engaged in oiling one of the great cleo
tric hoists be fell, in some unaccounta-
Bile manner, head first into the cog
wheels that form part of the mechan.
ism while they were in motion, the
head and upper portion of the body
being reduced to pulp.
The circumstances surrounding the
accident were so plain that an inquest
was deemed unnecessary. A brother
employed on the Tonopah railroad was
notified and came and took charge of
the remains.
This is the first serious accident that
has occurred at Lahontan since the
great dam building project was started,
and it is greatly deplored by the officials
in charge, though it was wholly un-
avoidable.

Electrical Supply House For Fallon.

+. " McEvoy, the Reno electrical
supply man, was in Fallon Saturday on
business matters. Mr.. McEvoy con-
templates the early establishment of
an electrical supply house in Fallon.
He proposes to place the best and most
modern electrical goods on the market
at the disposal of the people of this
town, who will have use for many ap-
pliances new to the community with the
advent of our municipal continuous
electrical service. The housewives
will be in line for electric irons and
they may even be curling their false
hair with heat from the subtle juice.
Chances are that ironing will become
quite popular among the housewives of
Fallon and the squaws of the nearby
village will find a shrinkage in their
weekly incomes.

Eagles Hold Memorial Services

The F. o. E. memorial services, held
at Clark's pavilion Sunday afternoon,
were largely attended by the public, in
addition to full representation of the
order. Attorney Pat McCarren, of
Reno, and Rev. Hazlett delivered the
principal addresses of the afternoon,
both speakers confning their remarks
to matters germane to the precepts of
the order, and each handled his subject
matter in an able manner.
The choir contributed excellent music
for the occasion. which was uniformly
appreciated by the lodge members.

RAILROAD IN 4 DILEMMA
Over Incident In Which Edu-
Gated Piute Commits
A Felony.

The Southern Pacific railroad COM
pany finds itself in no end of trouble all
because Henry Sue, an educated Indian
of "a years, stole a suitcase from train
No. 10, belonging to Conductor Steele,
in which the train Charge d. affairs had
slowed something like sixty through
tickets, reading from coast points to
points beyond Ogden. Following the
| theft, the Indian alighted at Hazen and
proceeded into the sagebrush, where he
burned the tickets, retaining only the
brass buttoned coat and leather suit
case, belonging to the conductor.
AS a result of the mix up it was found
exceedingly hard to straighten the tan
gle that followed, though the company
with its usual courtesy, accepted the
statements of the passengers involved,
regarding their destinations and saw
that they were carried thence.
Sue was arrested following the theft
by Constable G. w. Sharkey, and his
preliminary was held Saturday by JUS
tice c. G. Swingle, District Attorney
w. S. Wall appearing for the state.
Sue made the statement that he was
drunk at the time of the commission of
the crime, but admitted his guilt freely.
He as he'd TO appear before the next
grand jury and in default of bail is in
the county Jail.
The real value of the tickets destroy.
ed may approximate $4,000, the value
to the Southern Pacific alone being
sl202, the disparity in the figures, rep
resenting the probable amount that
would be due connecting railroads for
passenger fares on the tickets. Inas-
much as the new code provides that
stolen contracts must have their value
at the figure at which they
are worth to the people holding them,
the Indian finds himself charged with
grand larceny, and it would seem he
has an excellent chance to spend a few
years at the state prison within a short
distance of the Stewart Institute, where
he went to school earlier in his life.

The Fallon Creamery Prospers.

The Fallon Creamery is In decided
ly healthy condition these days and is
turning out A No. One butter at the
rate of slightly less than a ton each
week. Manager Carl Mulder states
that five churnings are being made
weekly and that the local demand Just
about absorbs all of the product. In
the meantime, cream continues to come
in ever increasing amount, and the
number of cream patrons is constantly
increasing as well. Harry Abbott, the
clever young man, who assists Man.
ager Mulder, and who has charge of the
creamery's milk routes, states that
this department of the local institution
is constantly growing and altogether
the creamery is getting TO be more
and more factor in local trade marts.
There is no better butter than Fallon
Creamery and it is the duty of every
customer in the county to ask for home
product. By the same token it is the
duty of every cream producer to give
the local creamery the preference in
the disposal of his cream. 1t is thus
that localities grow and become pros
porous.

FARMERS MAY BUY MATERIAL
From Reclamation Service At
Actual Cost, Though Limited
to Cement and Lumber.

A recent service order for the fecla-
nation branch of the government from
the secretary of the interior is of par
ticular interest to the farmers of this
project, inasmuch as it provides speci-
fically for the sale to them by the re-
clamation bureau of certain commodi-
ties at actual cost. The secretary's
letter follows:
Hereafter you are authorized to sell
cement and lumber from the warehouses
of the Reclamation Service to water
users on Reclamation projects in the
vicinity, to be consumed on their re-
spectiye farms in building and repair
ing structures for the beneficial use of
water delivered through government
canals for the irrigation of such farms,
and in lining farm bitches and any other
works having to do with the distribution
of such water. Such sales should be
made at cost, including freight and
overhead charges; the cost should be
carefully estimsted so as to preclude
the possibility Of any loss t. the Reela-
nation fund. Inasmuch as the said use
of the materials to be thus sold is in ef-
feet an enlargement and perfection of
the projects constructed by the Govern
ment, consider that sales under the
restrictions herein set forth do not en-
ter into the field Of private enterprise
and therefore cannot properly be OBJ
jected to as Government competition
with private capital"

SOME CITY COUNCIL MATTERS
Various Transactions of Interest
Occurring Since Our
Last Issue.

The city council has employed L. w.
Crehore, a thorough electrical engineer,
10 take charge of its municipal cleo
trical system when completed and 10
superintend its installation as we'll Mr..
Crehore is a competent man and the
kind, who though possessing more than
ordinary techniea qualifications, is not
afraid to take off his coat and work.
He will draw salary of $3.50 per month
and will without doubt prove a valuable
official for the city.
Councilman Pyle, who recently de-
parted for British Columbia, has been
heard from in his new location, though
to date he has not regularly filed his
resignation as councilman, something
that should be done at once.
The council met again Monday even
ing and arranged for the starting of
proceedings that will legalize the pro-
posed Sl7,G0 sewer bond issue. The
matter of buying the franchise, poles
and wire belonging to w. w. Williams,
constituting part of the ehattels Of the
first electrical plant in Churchill county,
came up on motion by Councilman j. c.
Jones, who asked that the city pey

and the matter remains on the tapis as
unfinished business.

during the present season was awarded
to Bert Spoon for S4.25 per eight hours
work. Mr.. Spoon rode the water wagon
throughout last summer and his work
was the incentive for much favorable
comment.

G. B., w. W. and John Williams and
George Baker, ard is under bond to
Messrs. Cossette, Smith and Merrill for
$40. 900 and $4,000 in stock, and the
discovery recently made tends to con-
firm the general belief that the men
holding the option will exercise the
same. A ledge inches in diameter
carrying high values was opened up,
and development work is being prose
cuted vigorously.

A Reform School for Parents

In recent address in this city, public
speaker stated that he believed reform school for
parents would be the most certain way to reach
and reform many of the erring children of the
community.
This statement was undoubtedly based on
correct understanding Of the situation as it relates
to delinquent and errng children and if such an
institution should be established il would no doubt
accomplish many Of the reforms among the youth
of the country which juvenile officers find so much
difficulty in regulating under present conditions.
There are altogether too many mschevious boys
right here in Cedar City. boys whose conduct too
clearly reflects the character of the parent and the
kind of training received in the home II is no
excuse for parents to say they have no knowledge
of their chds conduct; his demeanor in the home
is certain barometer Of his true character

he cnningly tries TO hide all are evidences of de-
ccption and the evil that is lurking in his mind.

called TO his attention particularly il the community
considers him bad boy. ssvfcsees- ~ belove hie
child without faults and shows anger because
complaint is made Ia menace to society and an
enemy Of his child.
Nevertheless. there are altogether too many
parents who are Intentionally blind to the faults of
their offspring. and where this is the case, the
Juvenile officers have duty to perform and
should take charge of the boy with view to hav-
ing him cared for by the proper authorities Cen
orally speakin. the parent should be committed to
refractory institution along with the boy, but
in as much as the law at the present time makes
no such provision, this suggestion has no force.
