FALLoN TO BE ON AUTO ROAD.
VIII Probably Be Designated As a
Stopping Place For Cross Coun-
try Autoing Parties.

Fallon will be on the main route of
transcontinental auto travel, if present
plans carry, and those conversant with
this form of traffic and its great possi-
bilities of increase as time goes along,
will know what this means to this
place, both from the viewpoints of the
advertising that would come to the
section, and money disbursed for legiti.
autoing expenses, in the nature of sup
plies, hotel and garage bills. l. H.
Kent, .one of the enthusiastic autoists
of this valley, and owner of a fine
Pierce-Arrow car is in receipt of let
ter from Secretary Hogue, of the Ely
chamber of commerce, in which he
points out the advantages that will
accrue to Fallon by being made want
age point on the cross country auto
route and Mr.. Kent is interesting him
self in the project. 1t seems that all
that is necessary to secure the designa-
tion is to bestir ourselves a little, and
to this end, the county commissioners
will be requested to make needed APP
preparations for highway improvements
that Will be useful alike to the citizens
of this county and those who travel the
highways in autos.
The Goodrich tire people have signi-
fed sheir willingness upon certain con-
ditions to place at their own expense at
needed points all metal instruction
posts, which will, in this instance desig-
nate the proper route as leading through
Ely, thence west through Austin and
Fallen, including Reno and Truckee in
the trip towards the coast.

The Band Benefit.

The Temple theatre was we'll filled
last Sunday night, the occasion being
benefit performance rendered the Fal-
Ion Moose Band by the management
of the popular little show house. The
pictures were especially interesting,
and the Leroy yHazelton Company of
vaudeville artists put on very good
bill to round out the evening s program.
Their stunts consisted of comedy, and
songs, with a funny country school"
sketch for a finish. People nowadays
go to vaudeville shows to be amused
to have good laugh, and there is no
doubt about the Leroy -Hazelton's sue
cess in irritating the mirthful side of
their audience Sunday night. The en-
tertainnent was a success from every
STANDPOINT.

INJURED MAN SUES COMPANY
The Hydro Electric Company
May Be Required To Pay A
Large Sum For Damage.

?. R. Sheaf, who on the 18th Of last
July suffered injuries from a 0,0O0
volt electrical shock, while working for
the Hydro Electric company at Fair
view, fled a suit in the district court
Wednesday O. last week, through his
attorneys, Curler & Martinson, of
Winnemucea, for $40, 000 $50, 900 of
which are for the deprivation of the
defendants use of his limbs, while the
SO, 600 additional is asked for damages
for mental anguish. Mr.. Shear is well
known about town, having been under
medical treatment here since the acci-
dent and before the accident complain
ed ofhe was man of gigantic strength.
The unfortunate occurrence that has
crippled him for life, was said to be
due to the negligence of the defendant
in this action in failing to provide suit
able electrical equipment at the Nevada
Hills transformer station, where the
plaintiff was working when he suffered
80 AbJAiA
It is likely that the case will be one
of the hardest fought actions in the
states history, for the defendants have
already made it plain that they will
contest the case stubbornly with every
legal point they can bring to bear. Fol-
lowing the accident the power company

til he refused to sign away all grounds
for damage suit when they ceased
their remittances to his physician, nurse
and landlord, and as a result DR.. Gard
ner, acting on behalf of himself and l..
Justice, followed Mr.. Sheaf very short
ly in the filing of suit to recover the
sum of s595, alleged to be due for
medical treatment and nursing.

The Eagles MeIodrama.

If we would believe the Eagle, Con-
gresham Roberts, in addition to being
an adept at flooding the mails with
still born speeches, printed at the ex-
pense of the people, is after all quite a
wonderful fellow. In fact, the Eagle
gives in a very convincing fashion a
list of two achievements of the Ie-
doubtable congressman that should i'm
moralize him. One of these has to do
with a meritorious case involving a
homesteader near Falon, who was ex
tricated from highly embarrassing po-
sition with the Interior department
and would undoubtedly have been
swamped with red tape had not Mr..
Roberts IN heroic manner, stopped the
crusty old cusses back in Washington,
afterwards kicking them out of their
own offices. The other instance has to
do with the great work" of Rober $
In aiding the city of Fallon to get it's
Fallon butte land withdrawal and cleo
tric system, both of which projects
were under way before Mr.. Roberts
was ever dreamed of as a congressman,
and which were matured thr ugh the
agency of the reclamation department
and without congressional assistance
OF any kind Really, Mr.. Roberts is
quite a fit hero for the Eagles melo-
dramatic buncombe.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Met Monday And Disposed OF
The County's Accruing Busi-
ness Affairs.

The county board of commissioners
met Saturday afternoon and cleared
the commissioners docket of pressing
business. The certificate of Cashier c.
w. Foote, OF the Churchill County
bank, setting forth the fact that the
county had on April 1st the sum of $26,-
1856 81 in his institution to its credit
was received and ordered filed.
The application Of Harry B. Morris
for permit to disinter the remains OF
Earl Morris, his deceased son, and re-
move them from the county for burial
elsewhere was granted.
1t appearing to the satisfaction of the
board that it was not necessary to
maintain route of travel through the
Becksted ranch near ST. Clair, the re-
cent order of the board was rescinded.
A resolution was received from the
state board of revenue, authorizing the
board to negotiate an emergency loan
of $1,000 was received and ordered
filed. The authority granted will prob
ably not be used until some time this
fall, as its need is not apparent at this
time.
The joint reports of the county audit
or and treasurer were received and ap-
proved.

WORK At CAMP LAHONTAH
Great Cutoff Trench Complet-
ed And Conduits Are Now
Under Construction.

Dam building operations at Camp
Lahontan are proceeding very effective
ly. The cut-Cff trench across the river,
which is really strengthening wedge
that will enter the great earthen dam
from great depth below the river bed,
has been completed. This was accom-
plished without trouble, though had the
river been running a great flow this
season the work would have been de-
layed. Other pre- parations at the camp
are for the commencement of the work
of moving the dirt into the great em-
bankment that will form the Imposing
part of the proposed structure. For
this purpose a great electric exeayator,
one of the first ever constructed, has
been ordered from the east This ma
chine will be the main factor in the
moving of 100000 cubic yards of dirt
that will go into the fill, and the latter
will be under construction some time in
the early fall.
The work of building the double tube
outlet conduit, consisting of two con-
crete pipes, each nine feet in diameter,
was taken up last week and the first of
three sections, amounting to 156 lineal
feet, was put in place. The material
requiring 10 days in which To set, will
remain in the frames tor few days,
when the second will be taken up, the
completion of this feature being delay
ed on this account until some time next
month.
Project Engineer D. w. Cole informs
US that the first storage of water will
occur in the spring of 1914 and that the
entire structure will be completed in
the early tall of that year.

gregation being the best Reno has in
the baseball line at this time, will oc-
cur at the local ball park Sunday after
noon and with each team credited with
one victory over the other, the game
should prove to be highly interesting
and hard fought contest.

Athletic Club Dance.

About fifty couples attended the
opening ball at the Clark pavilion last
Saturday, many visitors from out Of
town being present. The pavilion has
had thorough overhauling and reno
waiting and is now as fine an auditorium
as is usually posses sed by cities much
larger than Fallon. The floor could
hardly be improved and the lighting
system is perfect The music was fur
nished by Messrs. Brown and Burt with
piano and drums, which proved to be
excellent music for dancing. Refresh
ments and soft drinks were dispensed
in the hall, and the merry dancers en-
joyed themselves until a late hour. The
dance was a success and the Athletic
boys were voted royal entertainers.

A DETRIMENTAL DECISION
Government Ruling May Seri.
iously Hamper The Devel-
opment OF Mines.

Great anxiety is being manifested by
mining men over the recent ruling of
the authorities at Washington in re-
gard to the patenting of mining claims,
says the Goldfeld Tribune. So pro-
nounced have the new rulings been that
the conviction is well fixed that the
mining industry of all the western min
ing states is facing crisis, which de-
mands immediate attention before it
paralyzes all development
Heretofore the owner of mining
claims who does honestly the required
amount of annual assessment work from
year to year, who instals the legal i'm
provements and who demonstrates to
the satisfaction of the government
authorities that his claims are mineral
bearing, ard whose application for pat
ent is not contested, has had his appli-
cation for patent carried to a success
ful conclusion. The new rulings, how
ever, which are revolutionary in their
import, expressly state that the old
practice is no longer available and that
the existanee of valuable ore deposits
must be more clearly demonstrated.
The following language Of recent
ruling at Washington is illustrative of
this:
1t is evident that the deposits alleg-
ed to have been exposed on these claims
are regarded by the applicant as pos
sessing practically no economic value,
but that, on the other hand. titles to
the claims is sought essentially on ac-
count of their possible value for GER
tain unexposed deposits supposed to ex-
list at certain considerable depth be-
meath the surface, and having no con-
nection, so far as shown, with any de-
posits appearing on the surface.
The exposure, however, of substan-
italy worthless deposits on the surface
of claim; the finding of mere surface
indications within its limits; the discov-
cry of valuable mineral deposits outside
the claim or deductions from establish
ed geological facts relating 10 II; one
or all Of which matters may reasonably
give rise to a hope or belief, however
strong it may be, that a valuable min
eral deposit exists within the claim,
will neither suffice as a discovery there
on, nor be entitled to be accepted as
the equivalent thereof.
To constitute a valid discovery upon
a claim for which patent is sought there
must be actually and physically exposed
within the limits thereof vein or lode
of mineral bearing rock in place, pos
sessing in and of itself present or
prospective value for mining purposes;
and before patent can properly be is
sued or entry allowed thereon, that fact
must be shown in the manner above
stated.

Swindler Kennedy in Canada

Appropos the operations of d. j. Ken
nedy, the mining promoter who began
life in Fallon as awholesale liquor deal
er, it is stated on good authority
that he filched gullible public for
1920, 600, some of which he spent legiti-
mately and some of which he is suppos-
ed to have spent otherwise and still
managed to have saved enough from
the wreck to live comfortable at some
point in Canada, where he cannot be To-
Gated by his victims. Letters from
easterners who fell for Kennedy S game
continue to come to Fallon inquiring
about the status of the various fabu-
lously rich mining claims in which they
hold an interest.

but he also wanted to see his family

only by small margin. He remained

time, Mr.. Roberts rushed out, jumped
into the taxi and was whiried over to
the union station, several blocks away.
He there met his wife and daughter,
placed them safely aboard the train,
babe them goodbye and hastened back
to the Capitol via the taxi. Before he
arrived in the house the vote on the
wool bill had begun. but his name had
not been reached. In little while he
cast his vote for the bill. The hurried

Dickerson element and has fought that
crowd straight through. W. d. Jones,
a prominent Democrat and a member
of the last Legislature, was mentioned
in speech as candidate for State
Senator from Washoe county, and re-
ceived cheer. Clay Tallman was men,

Greatest Marine Disaster in History.

The greatest maritime disaster in
the history of the world, occurred Mon
day morning off the Newfoundland
banks, when the steamship Titanic
sank after striking an iceberg, when
1900 souls were lost, after nearly as
many had been rescued. following the
calling of aid by means of wireless
messages.
The Titanic was the largest vessel
ahoat and her sinking followed the ac-
cident so quickly that it demonstrated
the uselessness of her water tight COM
partments. The boat cost 1000, 900
and vas one of the marvels of the
modern shipbuilder's art.

Former Fallon Man Convicted.

George Woodstock, former Fallon-
ite, was convicted recently in the Las
sen county superior court of rape upon
the person of d young Portuguese girl
in his employ and was sentenced to
IL years in the states prison, Mr.
Woodstock is a man of family, and
while in Fallon enjoyed good reputa-
ton for probity. His friends here will
regret to know that what seems to be
his first error has ended so disastrously.
In such instances the punishment some-
times falls more heavily upon the wife
and children than upon the erring
father. which seems to be the case in
the Woodstock instance. 1t is said
that the sentenced man is complete
wreck as a result of the trouble in
which he involved himself in a moment
of indiscretion.

casion was the consideration of case
arising from the purchase of a glander-
ed horse by Frank Silva from C. o.
Matthews, who in turn had bought the
animal from L. NJ. Vance, the freight
er, with the stipulation that the horse
should successfully pass the mallein
test, which il failed to do. Mathews
never paid Vance for the animal which
he is reported to have sold to Silva for
$50, and the purchaser is now making
q strenuous effort to save his horse from
destruction at the hands of the author
tiles. He has been given a stated time
in which to produce certificate from
the government bureau to the effect
that the horse is free from disease.
