OREGON IN THE VAN.

Speaking of Christmas presents.

state of Oregon to its women work
crs-no pay envelope hereafter to
contain less than $S,25 for week 5
work in a factory, shop or mill; ana
no employer to require in Il week
NOR than 81 hours Of joll!
Bear in mind the principle involved
Oregon says to the man who wishes
to make a profit out OF the labo.
Of women: Very well; but only un-
der certain conditions. You are not
TO take complete advantage Of wom-
ems weakness. You are not to beat

at which the ncediest must sacrifice
themselves in order to exist. You
must arrange your business to pay a
wage consistent with the woman
workers. self-respect and not prolona
he hours until you have destroyed
her capacity to fulfill woman's high
est function, wholesome motherhood
Unless YOU can do that your business
is a cruel and destructive business

Such a ruling comes with peculiar
appropriateness near Christmas time
for it is a fine practical expression
of the spirit of Christianity.

HOLIDAY INFLUENCE.

The holiday custom Of making plb
lie expression Of thanks is very
pretty one. 1t serves a useful pur-
pose. The happiness and business
property Of every man depends
upon others. 1t has been said that
society is illustrated by one great
problem in mathematics written out
upon a blackboard, Every figure Is
uece ssary, none can be dispensed
with. every figure represents corre-
spondingly equal places, every figure
must be right and in its proper COL
umn TO make society perfect, 1t Is
the aim of every man to fill his
station and perfect the whole. All
may fall more or less short of reach
ing the exact position desired and the
holiday season induces n looMn2
backward to see if amends can be
made and results in a healthy desire
TO better fill ones place during an
other year. The holiday influence
is a wholesome one.
Christmas day is observed in mem
ory of the birth of the Savior. 1t
ought to be observed as a day OF
forgiveness in the heart of every
man. Christ set the example in the
most remarkable sentence ever vi
tered from the standpoint of sinful
man when he prayed for those who
crucified him. Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do,
1t is fitting that mankind should
follow that example this week and
forgive all those whom we think have
coDsVrod against us during the year
not forgetting to implore a measure
Of forgiveness for ones own self.
We resolve today TO forget every
note of discord that has arisen dur

Indians Body Found in Creek.

McAlester, Okla, Dec. 20.-With
four heavy stones tied about the
waist, feet lariated to a drift log and
bruises over the head, the body of
Robt Carney, Choctaw Indian, age 35,
was found in the bed of San Bois
creek, near Featherston, this county,
where it evidently had been depos-
tied by an enemy several days ago.
Carney had been missing since last
Saturday. His horse, in bad condi-
ton, as if almost famished for food
and water, was found Thursday tied
to tree in the wods. The body
was four miles from where the horse
was found Jeff Wall, another In
dian, is held on suspicion of having
killed Carney.

New Postofiice Hours.

Hereafter the Fallon post Office
general delivery window will not op-

ance to practice general over the
United States in offices of like size
and importance. The mail distribu-
ton will occur as formerly, the Sun
day service being confined to lock
boxes.
The observance of holidays by the
post Office force will be such that
mail deliveries will occur only from
five to six o'clock in the evening,
while the regular office hours hence
forth will be from eight in the morn
ing to six in the evening.
The Sunday deliveries are optional
with Mr.. Johnson, the department
regulations requiring Sunday mail
distribution only for hotels and pub
lications. Owing, however, to the
fact that the Sunday mail, held over
until Monday morning, would tax the
Fallon Office force to make prompt
distribution Mr.. Johnson proposes to
distribute as formerly.

WATER
PROSPECTS
Nature Has Been Far From
PrOdigal During The
Present Season.
The Late Rains VIII Help to Fill
Need for Water and Will Prob
ably Suffice for all Needs.

1t Is said that the water prospects
for this year are hardly as good as
they were at a corresponding period
last season. In addition to an ex-
tremely light snowfall, the level of
Lake Tahoe is now but three and one
half feet above the extreme low wat
er mark, which was established in
1889. This condition of the lake Is
attributable to the lightness of preci-
pitation within the lake watershed
and to the further fact that the lake
was lowered one foot by the toll ex-
acted by the Truckee power compan-
les throughout last fall and winter
In order to develop their quote of
power, the streams usually depend
ed upon being insufficient.
The greatest seasonal range of the
lake ever recorded was eight feet,
this occurring when a. heavy snow
fall followed dry season. The con-
tinued shortness of water In the
streams compelled the power COM
panies to draw upon Lake Tahoe for
development purposes up to the first
of April, which is without prece-
dent.
1t Is hoped that the late rains will
help materially in making the diff
ference between the present season
and a normal one.
TIL scrtary of the interior has
been importuned by his subordinates
for permission to proceed rapidly
and unhampered with the condem-
nation suit set in action last fall, but
owing to a change in administration
and an incident reorganization of
the department and further restric-
tions in technicalities attaching to
the suit, halt has been hailed tenn
porarily.
However, John F. Truesdale,
counsel for the reclamation depart
ment in the condemnation matters,
is expected here daily to resume the
suit in the federal court in San Fran
cisco, and it is hopd the matter will
be forced to an carly issue.

TAXPAYING.

The payment OF the second install
ment of taxes was happily conclud-
cd last week without so much as a
single delinquent, much to the dis
gust of the newspaperman, who re-
ceiyes 50 per throw for each delin-
quent; and likewise to the Joy of
County Treasurer c. w. Foote, who
is thus saved much laborious work in
carrying along the delinquent rec
ords. And worthy of mention is the
fact that this is twice in row that
Churchill county taxpayers cleaned
up their second instalment without a
single delinquent, record for Me-
vada counties.
In all, something like $91,500 was
paid into the county treasury as
1912 taxes. Of this amount one
half of the state and county taxes
and all of the special bond levies
We're paid in the first instalment, the
second instalment aggregating in the
neighborhood of $4,000.

ROUNDLY TROUNCE

A husky bunch of athletes came
over from Lovelock Sunday and took
the measure of the local team by a
score of IS to nothing, which was the
result at the end of the seventh in
ming, when the game was called by
common consent to allow the Hum
boldters to take the train lor home.
The feature of the game was the
pitching of Schneider for Lovelock
and an unassisted double play by
Ralph Foote on second base for Fal-
lon.
Such dispargements in scores often
occur, and the figures must not be
taken to represent the real ability
of the representative aggregations of
balltossers, though truth to tell Love-
lock has a team this season she may
well be proud of. Fallon's team
lacks the proper support from the
business interests of the town. Lo-
cal merchants should encourage our
ball organization more in various re-
spects, and until they do we will not
have the efficiency that should be a
matter of pride locally.
The batteries were: for Fallon,
Knight and Shepherd; Lovelock, Sch
neider and Conover.

THE NEW RAILROAD
WORK Is Being Prosecuted Each Day
With Good Results.


The grade of the Fallon electric
I railroad has been practically com
pleted from the + A. Harrigan ranch
TO point within a mile of Fallon.
something like 80 head of stock are
employed moving dirt with Fresno
scrapers and uniform grade of
less than one-half of one percent is
being maintained.
Ihe farmers generally in the dis
tricts that will derive benefits from
the building of the line, are taking
an active interest in the project and
to their good Offices Is due the sue
cess that has been had In building
the grade, which is manifestly a sub
stantial asset.
1t is proposed by DR.. c. A. Hascall
the president of the company, to in
stall Edison storage 6attery cars and
to eventually extend the line to Dix
lie valley in Nye county. where rich
agricultural resources lie undevelop-
ed.
The Organization was formally
filed with the county clerk and sec
retary of state last Saturday. The
capitalization stated is $500, 900 and
the amount actually subscribed to
date Is $4,000.
AT a meeting OF the directors
Monday 1t was decided to sell the
first $4,000 worth OF stock at go
cents on the dollar.

Lister Wheeler was over. from
Fernley and spent Saturday. He
says the Fernley district is as alive
as ever and that the Lassen-Fernley
railroad is handling much traffic in
and out of the junction. The passen-
ger tickets sales out of Fernley for
the Lassen road is seaid to average
500 per day, while an enormous
freight business is being handled.
The road is being balasted in thor
ough fashion and regular freight and
passgener schedules are being MAIN
tanned. No developments have occur
red in the matter of the railroad
townsite at Fernley, though announ-
cements are looked for daily.
Mr.. Wheeler stated that numer-
Gus hay buyers from Reno and the
coast had visited Fernley in an ef-
fort to buy the present seasons crop,
Offering $11 fob. the cars. However,
none of the farmers of the district
accepted the offer. At the present
time they are receiving s13 for bal
ed hay and they figure that in view
of the coast drouths this price will
az least continue.
Mr.. Wheeler stated that a decid-
ed impetus would be added to Fern
ley's growth by the restoration of
land to entry this fall. and that this
event is anxiously looked forward to.
The matter of the adjudication of
the Lake Tahoe water rights by the
government is another innovation
eagerly anticipated by Fernleyites.
