MExICANs AND PIUTEs DISTURB
IL is Proposed To Govern the Situa-
ton by Radical Measures.

Mexieans and Indians have been
responsible for much disturbing of
the peace lately Sundays are favor
ite days for their whiskey drinking
and carousals and not infrequently
they end in free for all fights. 1t
thus happens that local authorities
are up against a situation that de-
mands summary treatment. The first
of town except when they are on
business bent and second is to pre-
vent in all cases possible their inter-
mingling with the Mexicans, who are
mischief makers. To this end In
dian Superintendent w. A. Vanvor-
hies has requested the department
for authority to employ two Indian
police and the matter of setting
aside reservation frem the Fallon
butte withdrawal, to be used by them
as a place of habitat is also under
consideration. The last named con-
templated move would result in the
moving of all Indians TO the one
place where they could be given un-
divided attention and the police to
be appointed would thus find their
tasks simplified.
Mr.. Vanvorheis is working in and
out of season for his charges but he
has numerous problems to correct
and with slow moving governmental
machinery at his command he can
not proceed as expeditiously as he
would like.
In the meantime, IL is up to the
city authorities to lend a hand and
at least keep the store fronts of the
town free from the aborigine loafers.
And this holds good for the whites
and MeXicans as we'll who find 1t con
venient to while away idle time sit
ting in front of the towns business
places.
Ii happens that hilariously drunk
Piute squaws fill the city jail most
every Sunday and Monday and the
carrying on that occurs regularly is
quite sure to result in further ex-
pense to the taxpayers. II will be
remembered that two murder trials
were only recently concluded that
were made possible by an over indul-
gence of privileges.

PANAMA CANAL PICTURES.
Will be Shown in Fallon on the Eve
nings of July 4th and 9Th.

The Panama canal pictures, taken
from Aviator Robert Fowler's hydro
plane, an undertaking that was fin
anced by Hon. r. l.. Douglass, will
be shown at Temple theatre on the
evenings of July 4th and 9Th. The
films are perfect and completely por-
tray the great government waterway
with their $500 feet of tape. In ad-
dition native life, the harbors at both
ends of the canal, the construction
headquarters and numerous other ca
nal zone attributes are represented.
1t requires about so minutes for the
moving picture machine to run the
film which is without doubt one of
the most interesting and highly edu-
cational moving pictures ever pro-
duced
This will be the first time the pic
lures have been placed upon a cur
tain publicly and local residents
should have no hesitancy in turning
out to see them, for it will really be
a novelty for Fallon residents to get
the first whaek at moving picture
films, particularly films, the exclusive
rights to which are worth easily
100000.

Senator Key Pittman Replies TO the

His Stand.

The following telegram from Unit

together self explanatory, and in re-
ply to the recent attack made upon
him by the Reno Gazette, a Repub-
lican newspaper, which was wrought
to his attention by C. A. Stout, a
Reno Democrat
Washington, ID. c.. June "a, 1913.
Il am in receipt of your letter of
the 18th. instant enclosing editorial
clipped from the Reno Gazette of
June 18th, critieizing my testimony
before the Lobby Investigating Com
mittee. | appreciate the motive that
prompted you in requesting the Reno
Commercial Club to defer action with
regard to my testimony until you
could hear from me but | have no
desire to prevent any expression or
criticism on the part of the Reno
Commercial Club or any other body
or any other individual. 1t is the
right of every citizen to comment
upon or criticise the official express
sions or facts of his representative in
Congress. After careful review of
my evidence | am satisfied that my
statements are based upon facts,
which facts I intend to submit to
congress. While | deny that 1000
people are employed in the sheep and
wool industry or anything like that
which fact | also intend to
prove, still If such fact were true it
would be no justification for the tax
ing of the 10000 people in the state
of Nevada who are compelled to use
woolen goods for the purpose of sup
porting through dollhouse methods
1000 people, majority of whom
are sheep herders of foreign nation
ality of the lowest type, receiving
wages far below that which | believe
a working man in the state of Nevada
should receive.

GRANTS
RELIEF
Secretary Of the Interior F.
K. Lanes Rainbow of
Promise MateriaIizeS.
The Democratic Administration has
Brought Relief. Rather Than Bad
Times For Settlers Here.

Special consideration for farmers
who actually cultivate land on gov
ernment reclamation projects, as
against spectators. was announc-
ed as an interior DEPARTMENT policy
Monday by Secretary Lane. In line
with this the secretary ordered
temporary reduction to one-third of
the amount due from present set
tiers on final building charges in
stalments, provided that no payment
shall be less than so cents per acre.
The unpaid balance will be added to
the last instalments for water right
applications. Those who have paid
these charges may have credits ON
either their next annual ihstalments
or on operation and maintenace
charges now due.
This action was taken in recogni-
ton of the difficulties many settlers
on irrigated lands have had in meet
ing their obligations to the govern
ment as impressed upon the secretary
at the recent conference with repre-
sentatives of the Water Users as
sociation. No person is TO receive
the benefit of the concession who
on December l next has not paid all
the dues for operation and mainten-
ance and cultivated half the acreage
of his land. For the benefit of those
now delinquent and subject to cancel
latien, it was ordered that no steps
be taken if they make payment of
the operation and maintenance
charges by December L. Secretary
Lane announced that he would urge
upon congress the passage of some
act extending the time for the pay
ment of the building charges under
present limitations and conditions.
'The man who makes farm and
irrigates it is the man whom l am
interested in, primarily, NOT the land
speculator," said the secretary. On
some of our irrigation projects we
have been making money for speeu-
lators rather than homes for the
farmers. | find We have in our ir-
igation projects 100000 acres of
irrigable land, but we are irrigating
only 850,000 acres. More than SO
percent of the remaining $4,000
acres-all irrigable but unirrigated,
is land in private speculative owner
ship. The man who irigates his land
should have the easier terms from
the government, because he is the
one who is giving the public the
benefit of that land. The people of
the United States have invested
75,000,000 in constructing irriga-
tion works, to irrigate farms, not TO
increase the value of lands held out
from use.
Not one of the water users de-
sires the government to waive his
debt, but less than one-half of them
have paid the building charges due
December /, 1912, which will be de-
linquent December / next. 1t is nee
essary now to insist upon the pay
ment of operation and maintenance
charges, but it seems wise and just
to reduce all present building pay
ments."

FALL0N LOSES BUT
With Team Practice it Can Lick ANY
Team in the State With Lineup.

A small contingent of Fallon fan
dom made the trip to Reno to wit
ness what has been termed the best
game of baseball ever staged within
the state, between the locals and
the divoreons. Fallon's outfield.
though failing to hit, fielded without
an error and the work of Conklin.
Fallon's pitcher, who struck out 13
men, and Douglass behind the bat
ELECTED much favorable comment
from Renoites, who now, though our
team was defeated by a score of 3
to have a wholesale regard for the
prowess of the Fallon boys.
Powell, for Fallon, had two sac
rifiee hits to his credit, while the
throwing OF Abe Shirley from out
field to the home plate was easily a
feature. When 1t is considered that
the members of the team never play
ed together before as a team, their
success in holding the Reno team to
so close a score after ten innings of
effort would surely indicate a great
superiority for our talent, which
with proper team practice will clean
'em all up
The following is from the Gazette
and is about as fair as home papers
usually are in laudation of visiting
ball players.
Baseball fans asert that no bet
ter game has been played in Reno
than that which occupied the atten-
tlon of good crowd at Moana
Springs Sunday. 1t compared fav-
orably with coast league contests
and was replete with thrillers.
Reno defeated Fallon by a score
OF 3 to 2 after 10 innings. Although
Burbans of Reno made a clear cteal
home in the last half of the ninth
innning he was called out by Umpire
Dalzell The batter flied out, max
ing three down. and the game pro-
cceded one more inning.

stored on the California side.
The waters of the Carson river
now run all the way down to the La
hontan dam, and when the dam is
completed the waters of the Carson
and Truckee rivers will be united
there and used on the Truckee-Car-
son project By storage on the head
waters of the Carson, the waters
could be used to develop these TO-
600 acres in Carson valley, and most
of it would pass back into the river
through seepage and find Its way in
to the Lahontan Dam and be used
again for the Truckee-Cars enter
prise. This development would add
greatly to the wealth of the state.
The Truckee River.
You are familiar with the True
kee river. ! would like to see full
water storage accomplished there not
only in the lake but in the territory
around it. Washoe Lake, immedi-
ately to the east of Lake Tahoe, is
1900 feet lower than the latter; and
if the water can be stored there with
as has been suggested, the dropping
of the water through a tunnel would
develop enormous water power. l
hope to see the time when not drop
of water from the Truckee River will
flow into the lake-when it will all
be diverted and used for irrigation
of land. Being at the lowest point
in the desert, the water in this lake,
of course, serves no useful purpose.
The Humboldt River.
The Humboldt is most important
river. The railroad runs along 1t
for a distance of three or four hun
dred miles. 1t flows through a val
ley varying from two to ten or twelve
miles wide, containing numerous cat
tie ranches. The lands in these
ranches was acquired from the state
in an early day, under an educational
grant, when people did not realize
the advantages of irrigation. These
large holdings have been an obstacle
to irrigation development, because
as rule the cattleman does not be-
lieve in intensive cultivation by ir-
rigation. He raises some hay and
natural grasses on the swamp and
bottom lands and ranges his cattle
on the hills using his hay for winter
food.
A very successful irrigation enter
prise has been inaugurated 25 or 80
miles east of Humboldt Lake. The
land Is as rich as the delta of the
Nile, being composed of alluvial de-
posits washed down for centuries,
Before it reaches this place the water
flows three or four hundred miles,
and the settlers having the Oldest
water rights find their supply dimin-
ishing every year. because the water
is taken out above for new irriga-
tion enterprises, Thus the man who
is first in opportunity sometimes Is
