Rumors are current that hotel COM
pany will be organized in Fallon to

credit to the town. Fallon has long
been in need of good hotel, and it is
only question of time when the need
will be realized.

Fallon is to have an orchestra. Mr..
w. F. Burt, who has had much ex-
perience along this line is organizing a

ians competent to furnish the best and
latest music for dancing and all other

The local Moose lodge memberssare
planning to give dance week from

the .Wightman building, the net pro-

the teamster, who suffered serious in
juries several weeks ago, while engag-
ed in hauling between Fallon and La
hontan. This is a worthy cause and
everybody should help the dance along.
We are glad to note that the product
of the local creamery, which was test
ed recently by S. C. Dinsmore, deputy
sealer of weights and measures, along
with the butter from other state cream
cries, is among the few that was found
to be overweight. This is an excellent
testimonial to the business policy of
the Fallon creamery, and is one reason
why it commands better than quota
tions in the open market. Of seven
teen samples tested, all but four were
found to be under weight.
Ground breaking for the proposed
LIGHTHOUSE building on Maine street was

hand. Operations will be rushed and
the building will be ready for occupancy
in another sixty days Thus is the busi-
ness district of Falon being added to
constantly by handsome and substantial
structures.
The gates have been closed at Lake
