The progress of work at Lahon-
tan has not abated, some 250 men
now being employed upon the works.
The work stock has been released
by the authorities, the embankment
work having been discontinued for
the season. Attention is now being
given to the building of the second
and final concrete conduit connec-

meantime, the temporary diversion
dam has been taken down and the
water allowed to run across the en-
bankment as completed to date.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Held Interesting Meeting Last
Thursday Evening--May
Get Railroad.

A fair sized representation was
present at the chamber of commerce
meeting at the city hall Thursday
evening, and the business considered
included much of an important ma
ture. Among this was a proposal
one of the heavily interested ones
in the Coppereid district in the east
ern part of this county, and he sub
mitted proposition through L. w.
Crehore that he would build the so
miles of rails necessary to connect
this place with the copper district, if
Fallon citizens would provide 5000,
which certainly seems nominal
sum. Mr.. Crehore, as spokesman for
Mr., Reid, stated that the latter
would come here at once il the peo-
pie Of Fallon showed a desire to
meet his proposition. The chamber
of commerce instructed its secretary
to communicate with Mr. Reid, in
forming him that he would find the
heartiest cooperation among the To-
cal business interests.
The organization is committed as
body in favor of the annexation
of the Fernley territory and the del
egation working in the state legisla-
ture for this county is to be apprised
of the sense of the meeting. The
club membership wants the FernIey
district as sincerely and earnestly as
do the residents of the district in
question desire annexation.
The proposition outlined in this
paper previously. wherein state
school moneys are loaned to the
farmers of the state, on collateral
that would be realty in all instances,
the loans to draw a nominal rate
of interest, appealed strongly to the
members of the chamber of COM
the plan was formally made at
Thursday evenings meeting and the
county delegation is to be apprised
of the action taken, and the support
u OthSi oldtt COIulltICidl DOQIeb
will be sought.
Messrs. Fred and Henry Hinze
and l. II. Kent were made the sub
jects of the clubs official thanks for
their efficient work during their re-
cent visit to Bay City, Mich, when
their responsiveness overcame the
objections of the eastern stockhoId-
ers in the local concern to the fac
tory's retention here and sufficed to
insure the great sugar manufacture
ing plant as local industry
for one year, the success of which
will determine whether the factory
is to remain indeterminately
A special meeting of the CONNER
cial body will be held at the city hall
tomorrow Thursday evening, at
which time it is hoped that full re-
port of the results of the eastern
trip of Messrs. Fred and Henry
Hinze and I. H. Kent can be had.
The commercial club is growing
right along and new members are
being added daily. 1t would surely
seem that the time was propitious
for the organization and that it is
destined to become highly potent
factor in the work of advancing this
community's interests.

FARM UNTI.
Not in Consonence With the Law
According 20 Plant.

According 10 Plant.
This Office is in receipt of letter
to the secretary OF the interior from
Earl b. Smith, president OF the
Yuma County Ari2., water users as
sociauon, through the kindness of
Fulton II. Sears, in which the point
is made that there is no authority
OF law for re-adjusting homestead
entries under the so-ealled farm unit
plan, a practice that has been follow
ed uniformly In all government pro-
jeets by reclamation authorities. The
following citation from the reclama-
ton law is made to prove the con-
tention that farm unit amendments
cannot be made following the aeeep-
tanco of filings for a specified area.
The Reclamation law, Section 4,
reads:
"That upon the determination by
the Secretary of the Interior that
any irrigation project is practicable,
he may cause to be let contracts for
the construction of the same. =
and thereupon he shall give public
notice OF the lands irrigable under
said project, and limit of area per
entry" etc, etc.

turned Sunday from Reno, where he
met with the district attorneys of

Mr.. Hart stated that the meeting

HAS RATS IN HIS GARRETT.

Statistieian

John Perry Silva, sometimes call
ed the Duke of Bragganzia, well
known Saltwater character, is said
to have become obsessed lately OF
the idea that work is not necessary
to live, but that if he will rest on
his industrial laurels. he will be ae-
corded the necessary milk and honey
for subsistence. Recently he is re-
ported to have laid under a wagon
for four days and nights awaiting
a call to meals that never came. In
the meantime the residents OF Still
water are wondering what is to be-
come of Silva and his Weary Willie
stunt.
Yesterday Sheriff Coniff took Sill
va into custody on charge OF insan-
ity and he is being held in the coun-
ty jail for examination. 1t IS pos
sible that his premonition of free
care will be supplied by the state.

RETURNS FROM CARSON CITY
Where State Board of Assessors
Fixed Valuations. Mortgages
May Be Taxable.

County Assessor j. w. Sitton re-
turned home yesterday from Carson
City, where he was in attendance up
on the state board of assessors. He
told us that the raises effected dur
ing the recent meeting, involving
public utilities alone will suffice TO
bring an increased valuation 10 the
1913 tax roll of around 100000.
The chief item concerns the raise on
the 16 miles of railroad of the Fal
lon-Hazen branch, which valuation
was "histed" from $4,000 to $4,000
per mile. The remainder of the
raises affect the Wells-Fargo, the
Postal and Western Union telegraph
companies and the Pullman car COM
pany.
Mr. Sitton stated that the board
of assessors was advised by II. +.
Bartine, of the state railroad com
mission, in the absence of the attor-
ney-general, that mortgages were as
sessable under the present law.
Though it was the opinion of the as
SCISSORS of the state that such Il
course would mean double taxation.
pure and simple, If the opinion Is
sustained by the Encouragement
and the present legislature does not
nullify the existing law, there will
be no other course for the state as
SCISSORS to follow but to place all
mortgages appearing on the records
of the counties to the 1918 tax rolls,
which will work hardship upon
many people.

A LUCKY MAN.
Government Employe Takes Bride
Unto Himself.

William T. Coleman, who is on
the staff of the Lahontan dam build
ing organization, took unto himself
a bride last Wednesday evening in
the person of Miss Helen Marean, of
this place, sister of II. W. and S. r.
Marean. The ceremony uniting the
futures of these two young people
was performed by the Rev. DR.. Haz-
lett, of Reno, in the presence of a
number of friends and relatives of
the contracting parties.
The scene of the wedding at the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. S. r. Marean
on Williams avenue was prettily dec
GRATED for the OCCASION. Following
the ceremony a wedding supper was
served. Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman were
the recipients of numerus presents,
testimonials from their friends to
the high esteem in which they are
held.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coleman are now
residents of Lahontan, where the
groom will be employed throughout
the construction of the great govern
ment undertaking. During her res
idenee in Fallon extending over
period of several years. the bride
made large number of friends who
feel they know her to a degree that
renders apt the admonition that the
groom is an exceedingly fortunate
individual and that he has secured
life's partner, who will be a help
mate in every sense of the term.

Dear Mr.. Cole:
have a letter this morning from
Mr.. Lou D. Sweet of Carbondale,
Colorado, one of tae-best known po-
tato growers In the West and with
whom have had several conversa-
tions regarding the advisability of
putting some of his seed potatoes in
the hands of the farmers on several
of our projects. | think | mentioned
this matter to you during some of
our visits this summer. Mr.. Sweet
has written me that he will furnish
extra fine true to type seed of the
Russet Burbank and Peaehblow va
rieties In carload lots (. o. b. Car
bondale at cents per pound. This
seed should produce better than 25,-
600 pounds per acre IL planted on
gfound formerly In alfalfa and oul-
tivated in accordance with instrue-
tions. | am inclined to think that
the Southern Pacific would rebate
the freight on carload of these po-
tatoes as agricultural samples pro-
vided you are able to find enough
farmers to pay the producers price.
| believe we would be doing the pro-
iect a good turn to introduce these
varieties there as they are absolutely
free from blight and other diseases
and have been grown in a country
where there are no bugs. Please
let me hear what you think of this.
Very truly yours,

KENT RETURNS FROM The EAST
Tells About The Conditions
There And What We
Must Do.

l. II. Kent returned home Satur-
day from his visit to Bay City, Mich.
and other eastern cities. At Bay
City, he. together with Messrs. Fred
and Henry Hinze, held an extended
conference with r. G. Bailey and
General Hawley, eastern capitalists
holding preponderating share of
the capital stock of the Nevada ST.
ear Company with results that have
already been stated.
Interrogated Mr.. Kent said that
tie present factory management
would be continued throughout the
coming season without a doubt and
that the matter has now been resolv-
ed into merely question of whether
the farming interests OF this and
other agricultural sections of Nexa-
da are to make the undertaking a
paying enc, in default of which the
factory will be moved away. Back
at Yassar, Mich, the public spirited
citizens are willing to subscribe lib
orally 10 the expense of moving the
factory there and throw in a guar
antee from responsible farmers of
6000 acres Of sugar beets each year
Vassar, it seems, is bottled up ST.
gar beet territory, having factories
on all sides situated equidistant, but
far enough away that considerable
transportation charges are ineum-
bent upon marketing the beets. The
several factories evidently have a
cordiale entente, each factory taking
over a portion of the beets produced
in the community. The result has
not been altogether satisfactory and
Vassar's desire to shake off the yoke
of the factory alliance has been re-
sponsible for the offers, of which we
have already heard and which are
without question bona fide.
Mr.. Kent stated that the altera-
ton OF the tariff upon sugar at the
hands of the present congress, about
NhiSH We uSdi SO hu'h, Will nave
anything but a far reaching effect
so far as the consumers are concern
ed, whom he thinks will receive not
one whit of benefit from the inno-
vation in the way of cheaper sugar.
He stopped over in Chicago, en-
route home, for visit with Fulton
II. Sears, whom he found exceeding
ly busy in the Windy City. After
talking with Mr.. Sears, Mr.. Kent
came home imbued with the idea
that it is a shame and disgrace that
the farmers of this valley have no
legally recognized water users as
soeiation, which in numerous other
government projects are potent
agencies for community good
In this connection he thinks no
time should be lost in bringing about
an organization and to this end it is
proposed that bill shall be intro
dueed in the present state legisla-
ture nullifying in the instance of the
local association, the state charge,
amounting to 500 that would ordi-
narily be incumbent upon perfect
ing a great municipal corporation
having capital stock of $7,000,000,
which would be necessary in the in
stance of an association, having cor
porate powers and embodying as as
sets the holdings of the Truckee-
Carson government irrigation pro-
ject.

DEATH or MRS. SARAH FooTE.

Death came Thursday morning to
relieve the sufferings of Mrs. Sarah
Foote, the aged mother of Cashier
c. w. Foote, of the Churchill County
bank, after an illness of three
months throughout which scant
hopes were held out for the recovery
OF the venerable and pure souled
lady who would have been rs years
of age had she lived until the 23rd
of next month.
Mrs. Sarah Foote was born in the
community of French Creek, Ohio,
February 23rd, 1885. At Battle
Mountain. Mich. on December 18th,
1859, she was married to Allen
Foote. This was an exceedingly hap
py union, the couple living together
for Sc years until 1906 when the
husband passed away.
The passing of Mrs. Fooote will
recall to many in the old home state
OF Minnesota, of which she was a
pioneer, acts of kindness for which
she was noted. The hospitality,
which is typical of the frontier was
part of her life from the early
days of 1857 when together with
her husband, she settled 65 miles
from st Paul then the nearest town,
journeying to the scene of their en-
deavors by OK team.
There were many simple acts of
kindness in the helpful life of this
good woman that covered a period
of many years. And the memory
has distilled through the years a
gratitude and an appreciation that
have in turn prompted many kind
deeds TO perplexed travellers upon
life's highway That it will bring
tribute from a distant former home
to the true worth of a good woman
when the event of her death comes
to be known cannot be doubted. And
it will be but one of many offerings
that gratitude will lay upon her bier,
since to the simple record of her
passing it it added that few pioneers
had the goodness of heart and the
impulse to do for others that mark
ed her life. For many years she
added Christian cheer and charitable
deeds to the hospitality that was an
innate quality
Two sons and one daughter are
left to mourn the taking away of
devoted mother. They are; C. w.
Foote, of Fallon, George e. Foote,
of st. Paul. Mimi, and Mrs. II. r.
Hodgin, of Minneapolis. MINI. The
last two named met the remains up
on arrival at the old home town, st.
James, Mimi, and appropriate SER
vices were held there in the Baptist
church, prior to interment in the
family plot beside the remains of the
deceased husband.
Mrs. Foote was an active worker
in the Baptist denomination for a
period of ga years. her life being
consecrated to the work of her
master.
Funeral services were held from
the Baptist church in Fallon, Friday
afternoon, being conducted by Rev.
Ira d. Hail. The floral tributes
from the local friends of the deceas-
ed were many. Following the SER
vices the remains were consigned to
ST. James, Mimi.
