Passed Away i'm Reno Monday.

+. Olinghouse, after whom the
mining camp of Olinghouse was
designated, a former resident of the
town of Wadsworth and we'll known
to all old settlers of this valley pass
ed away Monday morning in a Reno
hospital after an illness of about a
year, aged II years. lie had been
confined in the hospital for ten
months and prior was taken care of
for three months at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. C. Il. Babb. west of town.
Deceased was an uncle of Mrs.
Babb's. She, together with a sis
ter residing in Illinois, are the only
surviving relatives.
Deceased was well to do, having
accumulated a fortune in the cattle
and mining industries. He was fru-
gal and industrious and was respec-
ted by all who knew him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Babb left on Mon
days train for Reno where they took

LAHONTAh DAM RISES FAST
Work on the Dam Will be Discon-
tiued Shortly to be Resumed on
February 1st.

Within few days more the work
upon the embankment of the La
hontan dam will close down for the
cold weather. The resumption of
full swing operations will occur
about February 1st. The interim
will be very profitably utilized by
the dam building authorities in re-
building the trestle holding the con-
yeyers handling the ma erials en-
tering into the dam embankment,
and otherwise tuning up the great
Lahontan plant for the last lap lead
ing to completion of the dam, which
will occur around August 1st, next
year.
The dams height last Saturday
was 62 feet above the streambed, or
just one-half of the height to be at
tanned, according to the plans under
which the structure is being erected.
When the 66-foot mark has been
reached, the work will be held in
allegiance.
When this height has been reached
1t will be possible for a flow of wa
ter 16 feet in depth, or more than
any Carson river food, to pour ov-
er the dams spillway, without in
any way injuring the structure.
THUS it will be seen that the crisis
has really been passed in the dams
development and that the future
has nothing but clear sailing ahead.
There is absolutely no doubt now
but that the entire Carson river flow
of the season of 1914 will be stored,
or nearly the entire flow, in case the
season is marked by heavy precipi-
tation. In any event the storage at
Lahontan will suffice to meet every
project need, which will be indeed
an appreciated status of affairs, fol-
lowing as it will, two dry years for
project water users.

LAND REOPENING PROMISED

The proposal by the local business
interests to reopen the lands of the
project to settlement on or about the
1st of next May. has found hearty
accord with Project Engineer d. w.
Cole, who has placed his official
sanction upon the petition and for
warded the document to Washing
for the approval of the secretary of
the interior. Mr.. Coles opinion of
the projected move will naturally
carry great weight, and it is almost
certain that the secretary's stamp of
approval will be granted. Anyway,
the project would, without the inter
lection of the local interests, have
been opened during the 1914 grow
ing season. The petition will merely
hasten the date a few months.
Land re-opening upon this project
is real and crying need. 1t is very
doubtful if the true situation is un-
derstood without this valley, even
by those who should know.

ABOUT THE DAIRY SILO.

In view of the fact that dairying
has taken firm hold in this valley
discussion attends in regard to the
relative value of methods for pro-
ducing the best results. Generally,
it is agreed that the silo must ac-
company any serious attempt at get
ting the best out of the dairy herd.
In view of this fact the following
from the state university farm is of
peculiar local interest:
I'VE have a silo and find it very
useful for all kinds of animals. The
purpose of ensilage in dairy cows
rations is to furnish a succulent or
juicy food and thus cause a larger
now of milk. There is no doubt
whatever as to its value for dairy
cows, especially in the winter when
no other succulent food is available.
We use corn as far as it goes and
then finish filling with third crop of
alfalfa II we had sufficient corn
we would use it entirely. There
are several gosd ensilage crops
which might be available in Fallon,
such as beet tops and beet refuse
from the sugar factory. | believe
that Nevada hay, being more mature
at each cutting, is more nourishing
than where ii is cut oftener.
should not feed ground alfalfa to
cows; they get all they need in the
form of hay. Instead of ground al
falfa feed the same value in ground
corn and oats or barley, or barley
and oats, even though less in bulk,
and you will get better results.
Our silo is a stave built silo above
the ground. on account of the diff
Guilty in getting the ensilage out.
The cost varies from $175 to $500,
depending upon the material. In
the east the farmers build their own
silos of reinforced concrete at cost
of approximately $3.50 for a silo 16
feet in diameter and 80 feet high.
The DeLavel Dairy Supply company,
of San Francisco is putting out a
very good silo at a cost of about
$500. V. E. SCOTT, dairyman."

ClIY DADS MAKE WISE DEAL
onc'ais Reduce the Lighting and
rover Rates and Arrange To Buy
real Estate on Easy Terms.

The building formerly owned and
occupied by this paper, will be the
headquarters for town council talk
tests after January 1st. for on that
date' as per a decree of the town
daddies, the city's archives will be
moved to the new location. The
innovation Is commendable one
and the council deserves credit for
viewing 1t as It has. The rent for a
period OF 2S months will be SIS per
month, when the present owner will
give the city a deed In fee simple
Tor the premises. During this period
the city will have paid just s2S more
than 1t would have been required to
pay had the present quarters been
retained at the monthly rental OF
S24. In addition, the city was
compelled to look for Jail location,
the county Jail having been used for
several years only through the good
ness of the county authorities. AL
together the new m We will prove
/ beneficial one viewed from every
angle.
AT the meeting of Tuesday even
ing of last week, which occurred fol-
lowing this paper going to press with
its last issue, City Electrician l.. w.
Crehore put forward a new schedule
Of lighting and power rates for the
electric system. 1t is esti-
mated that the new schedule will
effect a saving to the city light and
power customers of about 20 per
cent over the former system of in
dieting charges. These rates are
to be effective on the first of the new
year. The householdors of the city
will actually be saved about 80 per
cent upon their lighting bills.

ENLARGE PARCEL POST SCOPE
me Government viii Enlarge the
Parcel Post Privileges and Give
Much Cheaper Rates.
Postmaster-General

Postmaster-General Burleson's
pollcy 10 Increase the weight limits
OF parcel post packages in the first
and second zones from 20 to so lbs,
to admit books to the parcel post
and to reduce rates in the third,
fourth, fifth and sixth zones, was ap-
proved Saturday by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
1t Is provided by the postmaster
general, with the consent of the
commission, that the rate of post
age on parcels containing books,
Weighing eight ounces or less shall
be one cent for each two ounces or
fractional part thereof, and on those
Weighing in excess of eight ounces
the zone parcel rates shall apply"
This is to be effective March 16,
1914.
Serious objections to the proposed
change in the rates on books and
catalogues were made chiefly by
mailers of heavy catalogues, but the
commission says that 1t feels that
the changes are in the interests of
the public generally
The postmaster-general issued an
order, effective August 18th last, in
creasing the weight limit in the first
and second zones from IL to 20
pounds and materially reducing the
rates of postage for these zones, and
stated at that time that this step
was in the nature of an experiment
II now remains for the express
companies to meet the announced
reductions or suffer the further loss
of business that will surely follow.
Although an innovation the parcel
post is already firmly established in
public favor and it's practicibility is
amply demonstrated.
