The first boat will go through the
Panama Canal some time in September
of 1913 if the present plans of Chief
Engineer Goethals are carried through.
The Nevada Sugar Company will
start its great manufacturing plant on
October 1st barring unforeseen acci-
dents. Everything is practically in
readiness now and the work of testing
out the beets in the labratory will be
under way on the 18th of this month,
Jessie L. Raymond, Southern Cal-
ifornia CHEMIST having been engaged
for the 1912 season.
This valley was treated yesterday to
the heaviest and most general rain of
the year, which will result In a great
deal of good TO the farming industry
generally. Late cut alfalfa fields will
now develop into excellent pasturage
without further irrigation. while Gen.
eral Manager Fred Hinze estimates that
the precipitation will add very materi-
ally 10 the tonnage of beets in this val
ley. He believes that an increase of
800 tons as result of the rain will be
the beet farmers portion in this pro-
ject alone.
Madam Strong, musical conserva.

day and will remain here permanently.
She will establish class in the var

voice and piano and violin. Madam
Strong is also an efficient teacher of
physical culture. Her last place of
residence was Independence, Califor-
MIA, where she is a great favorite and
had large class. Her chief reason
for coming here is that like many others,
she desires a piece of government land

BEET PULP WILL Be SOLD
Nevada Sugar Company VIII
Contract To Sell 10000 Tons
OF Sugar Beet Pulp.

All beet pulp to be produced by the
Nevada Sugar Company in the 1912 and
1918 campaigns, amounting probably
to 10000 tons this year and double
the amount next year, will be sold
by the Nevada Sugar Company officials
within the next few days. This CON-
modify is in reality refuse from the su-
gar making process, which follows
the extraction of the juices valuable
for sugar making. but 1t Is coming
to be more and more a recognized
staple for stock fattening. In Colora-
do. California and other beet producing
states. stockmen. realizing the value
of the pulp for the feeding of their
herds. make an effort to acquire rights
to the pulp.
And judging from late developments
in Fsllon, the same scramble will occur
here for the pulp that will result from
the fall campaign of the Fallon factory.
Ten thousand tons is sufficient to fatten
a great many cattle and the present de-
msnd warrants the prediction that
when the sale is negotiated, which will
happen shortly. the price received by
the factory will be around rs cents per
ton.
Within another year or two when the
local factory IL enjoying full campaigns
there will be many herds Of cattle i'm
ported for the specific purpose of fat
tening on the pulp resulting, which is
depended upon to prodnce one of the
chief sources Of income Of beet sugar
factory.

FIFTH. TRUCKEE.CARSON FAIR.
Will Be Bigger And Grander Than Ever And Faon Invites The
Entire State To Come And Enjov Four Days OF Sight
Seeing And Racing Events. Sweeping invitation

Without state aid or subsidy of any
sort the Churchill County Fair Asso-
citation will hold its fifth annual fair on
the 25th, goth, 9th and 18th of this
month. Co-incident will be the race
meeting of the Fallon Jockey Club, an
organization of live wires among the
business men Of the community. The
four days will have many surprises in
store for the people of the state, who
through an unaccountable apathy,
have failed to note the resources ex-
tant here or the development to which
they are being subjected
Fallon has already established well
earned reputation as whole souled
host on public occasions. The crowds
of good people from over the state that
have been entertainedshe year after
year when like occasions, political and
lodge conclaves sought thiS as. a place
of rendezvous, have spread abroad the
towns disposition to treat the stranger
kindly until Fallon feels justified in
casting its invitation to the country at
large, without any particular embazon-
ment about treatment or, attractions.
Both are too well known among obsery-
ing folks to need extended description
But to the stay-at-homes in nearby
communities this Is the proper time to
convey to them the information that
our little city, growing community In
rapidly developing valley, has attrac-
tions galore not to be found in many
days travel. 1t is here that a solid
company of financiers have elected to
build the first sugar ma apufscturing
plant in Nevada; 1t is here that y Uncle
Sam set about to build 81. 000,0 900 irri-
gation project, an achievement that
Is being crowned with the greatest
earthern dam in the world 1t is here
that the magical qualities of the desert
soil are having their potentislities dem
onstrated to their fullest and it is here
that Nevada s most progressive town
is building for future generations in a
manner that will be satisfying and
commensurate ewith all needs it is here
that the government has completed
one of its few electric transmission
lines for municipal and general use,
the juice conveyed being brought hence
from great hydro-electric plant,
which fills the needs alike of it's model
little construction town, Lahontan, and
Fallon, the town that is destined to
have subtly and silently infused into
its character all that irrigation under
a great paternal government stands
for. Before many years have passed
Fallon is going to be one of the really
great farming communities of the
West and that the state at large may
note the development that is sure to go
on and on as time passes, adding great
ness to Fallon and the country, of
which it is the natural entrepot, the
invitation is extended to all to come,

WILSON AND MARSHAL.
Should Be Represented In Fallon
BY a Live Club.

A Wilson and Marshal club was or
ganized in Fallon several weeks ago un-
der very auspicious condtions-condi-
tions that seemed to warrant the pre-
diction that the names of the Demo-
cratic standard bearers would be given
unusual prominence throughout the
county by the move. But reasons not
now apparent, an apathy came over the
club membership and the movement
died. Why? Can it be that certain club
members had ideas of self aggrandize-
ment, that failing to materialize, dam
pened their ardor? r.,
Fallon surely is entitled to a live
Wilson and Marshall club and this
paper would respectfully suggest that
he nresent clubs membership get busy
or new one organized. There is work
to do in Churchill county in the inter-
est Of Democracy.

what is done and by the same toker
dream of what is to be done on the
morrow.
In this great world of change and
stress problems are being worked out
advantages have brought consequent
burdens. The very essence of the
word irrigation betokens both of these,
but despite burdens amid changing con-
ditions the demonstrations afforded
here are marvellous and we'll worth a
visit. Irrigation farming is particular
ly new branch of agriculture, not
withstanding there are farms in this
and adjoining states that have been
watered by artificial means for many
years. The lands now in process of
reclamation in this project are being
occupied and cultivated largely by men
who never before had experience in the
use of water for irrigation and perhaps
who never saw an irrigated farm be-
fore. Inasmuch, as in general, the
men who are to do the actual work of
reclaiming our arid lands, are men who
have not mastered the first principle of
the science and art they assume to
practice, the value Of our fairs are two
fold, proving what can be done under
proper auspices, and illustrating the
difference between methods old and
new.
The display this month will represent
progress of which we are justly proud,
home life that is abreast the ever
rising current of advancement, with in
dustfy, ingenuity and growth all along
the line. telling of people awake to
their advantages and alive to the op-
portunities of the times. Local people
exut In the applied intelligence as rep
resented at their annual fairs and want
all Nevada 10 eAult with them. The
beginnings of agriculture in this valley
were simple; its progress was slow;
Its market was stinted. But 1t was
full of hope for the morrow-a hope
that has already met grand fruition in
plenty and is big with the very essence
of an assured prosperity. If any one
doubts this let him attend our fair and
be convinced of his error. 1t is the
annual gala occasion of the project
when an epitome of our progress Is
abundanty furnished.
After viewing conditions RETROSPECT
tive and retrospective, amusements of
various kinds will be provided. Fast
horses will be feature, foot races an
other, while baseball tournament for
the state championship will occur and
the best gun experts of the West will
compete at the traps for high scores.
Add to all these things the great at
fractions that are fixtures hereabouts
and our insistent demand that all Me-
vada shall come and be our guests
seems reasonable, fair and altogether
commensurate with things as they
should be. COME.

A BAD JOINT.

1t is Claimed That Fong Long Build
ing is Bad Rendezvous.
1t is said that the building in the
rear of the Lahontan, owned by Fong
Long, is being used as rendezvous for
opium smokers, that whiskey is being
sold from there to Indians and that it
is an all-round hangout for dsreputable
characters. Inasmuch as the report
comes we'll authenticated, this paper
would suggest that the proper officials
look INTO the matter and finding it cor
rect, take steps to close up the place.
Liquor selling to Indians is getting al
together too common in Fallon and the
apprehensions are getting fewer and
fewer. Which prompts the belief that
something is wrong somewhere.

ELUCIDATION.
Local Organization is "Boy
Scouts of America"
August %, 1912.
To the Editor of the Standard,
Fallon, Nevada.

August ZS, 1917.
To the Editor of the Standard,
Fallon, Nevada.
Dear Sir:
Referring to an article in your edi-
tion of the 28th inst, in regard to the
American Boy Scouts and your deduc-
tion that the local patroll would soon
be armed with 20 calibre Remingtons,
kindly allow me to call your attention
to the fact that you have failed to
differeItiate between the American
Boy Scouts, and the boy Scouts of
America to which latter organization
the local patroll belongs.
The principles and aims of the two
organizations are vitally different. In
stead of with guns, we find our Boy
Scouts to be armed with boxing gloves
and books. In fact, the most strin-
gent order of the organization is that
against the possession or use of any
sort of fire arm, either on or off
duty, and even drilling with guns
would not be tolerated. The aim of
the order is to develop to the highest
the moral and physical part, and any
or suggestion of militarism
is carefully avoided.
Thanking you for your courtesy In
an erroneous conception of
our local patroll, | am,
Very truly yours,
JOHN WHEELER.
Scout Master.

FROM CARSON APPEAL.
What 1t Has To Say. About
Sugar Making.

Many people have undoubtedly fig
ured that when the Nevada Sugar Re-
finery at Fallon is in running order
cheaper sugar will be on the Nevada
market. This will probably not be so.
Sugar, as flour, is a standard article
and must be sold at standard price to
secure profits to the concern manufac-
turing. 1t varies few cents occasion
ally according to the conditions, but re-
mains source of small profit to the To-
cal merchant handling the same.
About the only difference in Nevada
sugar, when it finds its way to the mar
ket, will be that Nevadans will con.
sumo the home product, and that it will
be made by people employed within the
State, thus keeping the money at home.
1t is straight business proposition by
which the people, the farmer and man.
ufacturer should all receive profits

Democrats at Decorah

The Jefferson Day banquet at Deco
rah last Saturday evening was great
success and reflected much credit upon
Fred Bierman of the Decorah Journal,
and his associates upon the committee
of arrangements who were resp onsible
for its inception and its progress to-
ward a successful completion. The
gathering called together about $50
democrats, principllay from Winneshiek
but nearly every county in the 4th dis
trict was represented D. A. Lyons,
T. J. Carlolan and F. D. Mead were
the representatives from Howard. State
committeeman Judge Wade and state
chairman N. T. Reed were also in at
tendance.
The banquet, served in the spacious
dining room of the Winneshiek, was
faultessly prepared and served and to
accommodate the large number of ban
queters, long table was placed
outside the dining room. Editor Bierman
ma lie an excellent toastmaster, sound
ing the keynote of the gathering, that
Jefferson, founder of the democratic
party, foresaw and held that govern
ment of the United States must be
maintained through political parties,
and that the survival of the Democrat
tic party for over century was due to
its continued adherence to the Jeffer-
sonian principle, "equal rights to all
and special privileges to none.

Mr.. O'Connor withdraws.

Representative Frank A. O'Connor's S
announcement of his withdrawal from
the contest for the Democratic prima-
ry nomination for governor contains
no element of surprise to his friends.
When it seemed that he might be un.
opposed in his candidacy Mr.. O'Con-
nor was willing to stand as candidate,
but when it became evident that there
would be a three-cornered contest,
with Mr.. E. G. Dunn of Mason City
and John T. Hamilton of Cedar Rapids
as his opponents. and that his candi
dacy would make necessary hard cam
paigning in the primary contest, to be
quickly followed, in the event of his
nomination lby long hard election
campaign, Mr.. O'Connor decided
against continuing in the field. The
consideration primarily infiuinceng him
in this decision is the state of his
health. A tireless worker, he is at the
point where he must consult first his
duty to himself and this makes it i'm
perative upon him to avoid undertake
ing one, and possibly two, campaigns.
The withdrawal of Mr.. O'Conner
leaves in the field Mr.. Dunn and Mr..
Hamilton. The strength Mr.. U'Con-
nor had will doubtless 60 to Mr.. Dunn
ard accomplish his nomination. Their
is no gainsaying the fact the thesDemo-
cratic party in Iowa has no other man
comparable with MIR. Dunn as candi-
date in the rural districts-and Iowa is
largely rural-nor has the Republican
party, even in Professor Holden, a
candidate to be compared with him. If
Mr.. Dunn could hold the party strength
in the cities of Iowa-apd we see no
reason why he should not be able to do
so-he could defeat any man the Re.
publicans might name for governor
against him. Telegraph Herald.

To the Citizens of Cresco and Vicinity

After an urgent request from the
business men Of Cresco and other
friends, l have finally decided to move
my monument business to Cresco and
become one of your business men, and
l earnestly ask your patronage if fair
prices, good work and square dealing
will merit it.
l therefore ask you, if you contem-
plate buying a monument, marker, iron
vase, or anything in cemetery work,
that you wait and see me before buy
ing. l have some of the newest and
latest designs and expect to have car
of monuments at Cresco soon.
Having done great deal of work in
your cemeteries since l have been in
business in Harmony, am not stran-
ger to some; and to those who are
strangers, ask you to investigate and
see just what have done in the monu-
ment business and can do. l refer you
to both the banks of Harmony or any
citizen of this place.
l think it is to my best interest and
to that of my customers, that l move
to Cresco where will be more Gen.
trally located to my trade, and thank
the people for their liberal patronage
and ask continuance of same in my
new location as I think l can serve you
better.
l expect to move my stock of monu-
ments and family to Cresco about
April 18th, and will be located in new
building just east of Lomas & Farms

time if there are any who would like
to buy monument, if they will drop
me card at Harmony l will call on
them and show them my designs and
what will have in stock before Deco.
