LA SONRISA DE TAFT

En- todas las inmediaciones de la Ca
sa Blanca, sc estan levantandO trlbu-
mas para la fiesta de Ia Inauguration
presidential Frente q la avenida de
Pennsylvania, en- la plaza de jackson,
las sufragistas han mandado levantar
una enorme grader1a desde ella con-
templaran a sus anchas la salida de
Taft y la entrada de Wilson en- ell SEN
clio palacio de los presidentes de esta
gran RepNblica. Mr.. Taft va Sc habra
hecho 4 la idea de que tiene que aban-
donar la Casa Blanca, con las ventajas
y preminencias que a sus ocupantes
ofrece esta mansion amplia severa
como un temple griego, pero por muy
resignado que este, ell continue marti-
lleo de los centenares de carpinteros
que trabajan continuamente en- la
erection de las tribunas, ha de causarle
una desagradable impression. Yo no
puedo evitarlo. Cuando paso por este
trozo de la avenida de Pennsylvania, y
veo los grandes montones de tablas
puestos a todo ell largo de la acera,
ante la mansion presidential, oigo
el golpear de los martillos sobre los
escalones de la grader1a que va to-
mando preparedness gigantescas, miro
traves de la verja, hacia ell palacio
presidential y me parece yer Mr..
Taft, torturado por el martilleo de los
obreros sobre las tablas de las tribu-
mas, tai como 81 fuera sobre su cabeza
que penetraran implacables las puntas
aceradas de los enormes clavos. Este
hombre que defendi6 con tanto ahinco
su reelection presidential, no puede
estar resignado a1n con la derrota su-
frida, y 81 aparentemente sonrie, con
SUI bOnachona sonrisa de burgu6s salts
fecho, es acaso porQue la sonrisa es va
en- su rostro una mueca, porque no
Quiere dar q sus enemicos la satisfac-
ci6n de verle triste
iCu7ntas veces sonre1mos, mientras
sangra nuestro coraz6n herido por los
siete pu6ales del dolor! NADIA hay
a veces mas triste que una sonrisa. La
de Mr.. Taft, la otra manana, era de
esas amargas sonrisas que ell cruel re-
fnamiento de la vida pone veces So
bre ell rostro como una mascarilla que
no 10 lega a ocultar completamente,
pero que 10 disimula bastante.

THE COMING FAIR.
Is Attracting Widespread Interest
and Good Racing Program Is As.
sured.

Interest in the racing events next
week IS widespread, entries epproxi-
mating 20 for the various purses
having been received from this val
ley, Mason valley, Reno and Love-
lock. 1t now seems certain that the
program will be the most interesting
ever pulled off in Fallon.
The county fair officials are work
ing strenuously to make the exhibits
department the success local pro-
ducts warrant. One of the innova-
lions figured upon is daily auction
at the stock corrals where products
Of the farm may be disposed of for
those who bring them in.
Meanwhile the railroad company
haS allowed among its dispensations
rate from all points within the
state to and from Fallon OF one and
one-third regular fare and inquiries
reaching here would indicate that
great many outsiders are preparing
to come to Fallon and witness for
themselves something of the pro-
gress that is occurring here.

l.H.kENT APPOINTED RECEIVER
Judge Harwood Grants Petition
and Throws Sugar Company
Into Voluntary Bankruptcy.

Judge Harwood. of the Washoe
district court, appointed |. II. Kent
receiver of the Nevada Sugar COM
pany, at the session of court Monday.
upon the petition of the creditors
OF the company. w A. Massey and
Hoyt C Gibbons are the attorneys
Tor the plaintiffs in this friendly ac-
ton, while the defendant company.
through its attorneys, Moore &
Woodbnrn, appeared in court and
agreed to every demand of the cred
itors, who have been granted their
petition for a reeeivership Mr.. Kent
filed his bond in the sum of $4,000
and his official oath yesterday.
This is a preliminary step in the
work of getting money for the fac
tory's operation. This will be need
ed to the extent of about S150,000,
but ii is estimated by using the first
$4,000 borrowed as a sort of revolv-
ing fund, made possible by the early
sugar sales, il will not be necessary
to go into debt beyond this sum.
Mr.. Kent assumed charge of the
factory as result of the court de-
cree and will give over much OF his
time to managerial functions.

The MATTER OF INSURANCE
Premiums Will Be Advanced on
Fallon Risks Unless We Have
Fire Fighters.

Fallon must awaken to the neces-
sity of conforming to the stipulations
entered into with the western beard
of insurance underwriters, or its in
terests will be compelled to sit plac-
idly by while this same underwrit-
ers' board heaps eontumely upon
our heads. Every pretext that is
sues from the ingenious mind has
been invoked by the board to raise
insurance premiums since last years
rates were granted and at the rate at
which progress is being made with
their plan, it will not be long before
a general raise has been effected
1t will be remembered that the
city tentatively agreed last year to
an agreement that included the
equipping and drilling of local fire
fighting force. This has not been
done and the underwriters board
claim concessions granted were con-
tingent upon this scheme being car
ried to maturity. AS things stand
now 1t would seem that we stand
in imminent danger of losing what
ever advantages that may have ac-
crued through cheaper insurance
rates as result of the installation
Of cur water system.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING
has Been Called For Next Sat.
urday Evening. Propose
Road Bonds.

II the plans of local business +,
eefests do not go awry Churchill
county will be the first Nevada geo.
graphical subdivision to formallv
set about TO become a permanent
INK In the Lincoln National High
way. Recently the projected Nation
al route was made public and with
the announcement that Fallon had
been included upon the coast to coast
highway impetus was given the
scheme of setting about and being
the first county to take formal rec
ognition of the advantages that will
issue. Il is proposed that the coun-
ty commissioners shall call special
election for the purpose of legaliz-
Ing a road bond issue, the size to be
determined later, and the local com
mercial body will meet at the city
hall next Saturday evening to pass
resolutions calling upon the commits
sioners for speedy action.
Those behind the scheme would
have the county issue sufficient bonds
10 allow OF the building of the Chur-
chill county link OF the Lincoln high
way In a thorough manner. They
claim that taking early initiative in
the matter Is sure to rebound 10 the
eounty's glory in the future. Under
the provisions OF the new state road
law, any county within the state may
issue bonds not to exceed three per
cent. of the assessed valuation, TO
provide funds for needed highway
Improvements. The same law des-
ignates the county commissioners,
he district attorney and the assessor
OF the respective counties of the
state as road boards. Churchill
county, with an assessed valuation of
FIVE and ons-half million dollars
would under this act be empowered,
providing the voters of the county
to expend s150,000 for
highway improvements and II is
claimed that this sum would be suf-
aeient 10 establish the Lincoln High
way route across Churchill county
satisfactorily to the country's auto
lrayel and with a fnality.

FORD NOT BOUGHT BY
STANDARD COMPANY.

The latest STANDARD Oil bulletin
publishes the following item:
ut has been rumored that the
Standard Oil company has purchas-
ed, or is about to purchase. the Ford
Motor company.
This company has not purchased
the Ford Motor company, nor has 1t
had any negotiation to that end"
The best information is to the ef-
sect that rivals of the Ford cireulat-
ed this rumor, together with the
other rumor, that Fords could be
had in a year or two at $500 apiece
The purpose of the rumor being to
persuade people 10 postpone the pur-
chase of Ford cars. and in the mean
.ime, press the cale of their own
brand.

The portola Festival.

With new features being added al
most daily the plans for the Portola
Festival, to be given in San Francis
20 Oct. 22-25, are rapidly advancing.
This fiesta will be the most elabor-
ate ever given in the West. Com
nemorating the 400th anniversary
of the discovery of the Pacific ocean
oy Nunez de Balboa. 1t holds inter-
est for all the coast. Not only from
every part of California, but from
other states this side of the Rockies
have come pledges of cooperation
and assurance of participation.

stage this year N 1909 interest

discoverer or =I1e oay of San Fran
cisco and first governor of Califor-
MIA under Spanish rule. The first
Portola Festival of four years ago,
IS TO be outdone this fall.
Because of the 1913 world i'm
portant anniversary, the Portola has
received the endorsement of more
than twenty nations, whose consular
representatives in San Francisco
have formed special committee to
emphasize the international charac-
ter of tn eeyent. While four contin-
ents are represented on this commit
tee, the Latin countries form a good
~ proportion of the whole. The ro-
mantle peoples on both sides of the
Atlantic are giving special attention
to this tribute to the two illustrious
Spaniards, Balboa and Portola.
As BELTS the commemoration of
an oceans discovery, marine inter-
est will predominate at the festival.
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels has in person promised the Por-
tola Festival Committee that the en-
tire Pacific Fleet will be in San Fran
cisco harbor for the fete. The mari
time idea will be carried out in the
great night electric pageant, whose
| immense floats-the biggest ever
made-will be reproductions of
ships from the era of the tri rene to
that of the dreadnaught.
In every detail of the holiday San
Francisco has set out to establish a
| record. With Market Street and the
side streets turned into bowers, the
decorations will be the most elabor-
ate ever installed. The greens are
measured by the mile, flags by the
acre, and the illumination plans call

day parades organizations and COM
munities from the Alaskan boundary
to the Mexican line will be repre-
sented.

iday-it will be an education as we'll

THE NEW TRAIN SERVICE
Went Into Effect Sunday And
Railroad Officials Claim 1t
Carries Benefits

f. c. Smith, assistant superinten-
dent of the Sparks-Og6en division
with headquarters at Sparks, was in
Fallon Monday afternoon. He ex-
planned fully the railroad companys
intentions in the matter of the new
Hazen-Fallon train service. Fallon
travel, he said, Is going to be handl-
ed in the best manner at the COM
pany's command and he insists that
the new order of things brings more
advantages than were contained in
the old order of things. In no case
will the morning outbound travel be
compelled to await No longer than
pen that this west bound train is
two hours or more late the mixed
train will be run direct to Reno. In
the meantime the mixed train will
carry a new combination smoking
and chair car and travel will have
the advantages accruing from more
direct connections with all main line
trains.
Residents of this section will have
the benefit OF connections with two
west bound main line trains, which
in turn makes possible direct con-
nections for the north at both Sacra-
mento and Fernley. 1t Is now pos
sible to leave here in the morning
and arrive in Susanville, Cal, on the
afternoon of the same day.
In view of the fact that there are
no regular stops between Fallon and
Hazen, it Is believed that the mixed
train service will not be disadvan-
tage in the usual sense, for the run
from Fallon to Hazen and back will
be direct.
When project demands for better
service has been made apparent, as
must happen next year with the OPEN
ing of land to settlement, the rail-
road company will meet the demand
promptly, according to Mr.. Smith,
who can see no cause for apprehen-
sion or alarm in the inauguration of
the new train service.

NEXT FRIDAY IS FALLON DAY
At The State Fair And Reno
Has Made Extraordinary
Preparations.

Next Friday will be Fallon day at
the State Fair in Reno. 1t will also
be one of the gala days for unusual
preparations are being made for the
entertainment of the people who
will make the trip from this section
to see just what constitutes Ne
yada state fair. From all accounts
the fair is of surprising excellence
in its various departments and those
who can and do not go will have
abundant cause for regret.
The Nevada Sugar Company ex-
hibit at the state fair is attracting
much attention. 1t includes some
excellent samples of beets from
farms in this section and alongside
is pure. glistening granulated sugar,
which does not suffer from compari-
son with the finest cane sugar. Prof.
c. S. knight, of the state university
faculty, is present at the factory
booth and having been agriculturist
for the company for two years, is
we'll qualified to explain in detail
the various processes that enter into
The manufacture of beet sugar. To
Nevadans this exhibit is proving
more or less revelation, for it ex-
presses clearly the potency of the
grgin sugar resources of the valleys
Of this state and points the way to
what may be expected here when the
industry Is as fully developed as the
states natural resources warrant.

IN OTHER PROJECTS.
Current Items of Events i'm Other
Government Reclamation Districts

On the Milk River project in Mon
tana efforts are being directed to-
wards making of the project a dairy
ing district. The banks have financ-
ed creamery and importations of
dairy cows and no other creamery
butter is sold by the project stores.
At Rupert, Ida, on the Minidoka
project, the spud growers have Or
ganized and affiliated with the North
Pacific Fruit Growers. A standard
pack of spuds and uniform product
is assured and it Is claimed that
5000 cars are asked for already by
over 200 eastern potato dealers.
Such organizations mean higher
prices and a greater demand.
On the Salt River, Ariz., project
over 4,500 acres of land is in cot
ton this year and great plant, con-
sisting of ginnery, oil mill, seed
cotton warehouse and storeroom for
baled cotton has been contracted for.
Farmers on the South Side Nine
doka project in Idaho have an in
dependent telephone company. The
installation cost $25 per subscriber
and the operation and maintenance
are being effected for the nominal
charge of so cents per month.
Farmers in need of ready money
should consider the experience of an
Idaho settler on the Minidoka pro-
| ject who recently sold carload of
hogs in Burley for 1925 per hun
dredweight. The 102 head averaged
| 181 pounds each and brought ST.
522.21. The whole lot were last fall
pigs, wintered on alfalfa and grain,
| pastured on alfalfa and clover, and
given a light feeding of grain dur
| ing the spring and summer. Four
weeks previous to being placed on
the market they were fed 900
pounds of grain per day. Eight acres.
five of clover and three of alfalfa,
were all that was required to pas
ture the 120 head of hogs on the
farm, and. after taking them off
several loads of hay were cut from
the land. This story should prove
an inspiration to every farmer on
| the government projects, to feed
produce on the place.-Reclamatio

A WISE LAWYER.
Bumptious Reno Legal Lumina,y
Puts Rare Interpretation ON

A story is told on o. II. Mack, the
prize pumpkin of the Nevada bar,
that needs no eorroboration with
those who know this prize package
Of asslninity. It concerns one of the
few times that Mack, generously re-
ferred to by his acquaintance as
Oh He'll Mack, in lieu of what he
really should be called, succeeded in
passing court censorship with a COM
plant. The Reno divorce business
was In its hey day and in the gen.
eral scramble for deerees of separa-
tion, an unfortunate woman plucked
this lemon from Neyada's legal gar
den.
The action for divorce was based
upon the alleged infidelity of the
husband of Maek's client. When the
complaining witness had taken the
witness stand. Mack launched out In
line of interrogation. After es-
stablishing the fact that the COM
plainant was the wife of Mr.. So and
So. Mack followed by asking the wit
ness II her spouse believed in a su-
preme being, a question that did not
find ready lodgment In her mind.
Repeating It several times, the court
interjoeted itself wits. the remark
that It could not see where the ques-
tion was germane to the case at is

IF your honor please | claim
that my question to the witness is
logical. A reference to the COM
plant on file will establish the fact
thai We have based our action upon
the allegation that the defendant has
been guilty of infdelity, and am
attempting TO prove by this witness
that the defendant was and is an
infidel.'
