Churchill Reclamation
And Sugar Factory
P. J. Conway Tells of Its Future
And What the Farmers Must
Do to Win

P. J. Conway, one of the big farm
ers Of Nevada, a rich man, and one
who knows a big thing when he sees
it, is spending the day in this city
after rough experience on the des-
ert. where he with Harry Warren
were lost for thirty-six hours. Mr.
Conway is resting up after his eN-
haustion.
He with his companion visited Fal
lon and Lahonton dam and the cana
features. In speaking Of this big
work and the sugar factory, Mr.. Con
way said:
1T is the first time I have visited
Churchill county in a number o.
years. and to my surprise | have
found one Of the biggest projects OF
the West is building. The Lahontor
dam and its construction is a signt
worth seeing The manner of hand
ling the concrete, the excavation and
the results would surprise any citize1;
who has not been close to the work
When finished this great dam should
be able to supply many an acre with
water and build many homestead il
Nevada 1t looks to me like the bes-
move that Uncle Sam ever started il
Nevada I spent the entire day a
the dam and talked over the projecf
with the engineers | did this as !
am directly interested in the dam
building and reclamation work in An
tclope and Bridgeport valleys.
''To me the sugar beet factory is
the thing that took the nerve. Just
how the people of Falon managed to
talk three quarters of a million dol
lars out of the tight fisted people Of
the East is what sticks me. In Fal-
lon there is one of the finest facto-
ries that has ever been erected on
this coast 1t is perfect in every de
tail It is such factory as would
supply one of the great sections oi
the Middle West. and is the best asset
that have seen in Nevada.
"The problem seems to get the
beets to supply this big concern. II
looks like a tremendous problem, but
it can be solved by the combined &C

INDEPENDENT
TELLS Of
HIS STAND
Assemblyman Davis
Replies to Socialists

Assemblyman H. K. Davis has re-
piled to the state papers and to the
socialist party, which read him out
Of the ranks because he voted against
womens suffrage Davis evidently has
a mind of his own He says in part,
in The Humboldt Star:
Il feel that am under no particular
obligation to any source, excepting
the best interests Humboldt coun
tv, the State of Nevada, and the
many good friends who were kind
enough to give me their support. !
am here on the ground. and should
be competent to judge of what is
best or good of all concerned. ]
am perfectly willing to accept this
responsibility. and when the session
is over will be reconciled to accept
the verdict of Humboldt county, Ii
which | attach a much higher value
than the action OF any ten men, no
matter how sincere they may be in
their motives.
There are a number of bills now
pending before the legislature that
were introduced by members who
were elected as socialists. The state
ment that | have refused to CO.
operate with the socialist members
the legislature is untrue, because
none OF these bills have been brought
to vote, | may say that notwith,
standing the action OF the Winnie
mucca local. | will vote for some
these measures introduced by the
socialist members. My principles
cannot be changed by the mere fact
.hat | have been read out of the
party.
As to my political affiliations, ]
was elected as an independent, an.
now an independent and will remain
one. H. X. DAVIS.

ton of farmers Take the spud farm
ers at present They are stuck with
big crops on hand 1t is doubtful
if they can pull out, as spuds are
plentiful on every side. Many ton
will rot in the bins and The farmer
is out that amount of energy. a years
work and the seed cost In beet cul-
ture it is different.
''I am assured that the minute the
beets land at the factory that ths
money is ready for the farmer. 1t
comes in cash, not a promise to pay
The same acreage devoted to SUGAR
beets that went into potatoes last
year would keep that big factory 60
ing. | hope that the farmers along
the line of transportation can be
that the sugar factory will continue
to make sugar.
"The samples of sugar shown are
up to the highest standard, while the
engineer or chemist in charge told me
that the Nevada sugar beet was the
finest so far tested in any of the
states.
"Another thing that seems worth
while is the feeding Of the beet pulp
At the present time six hundred head
of Texas steers are being fatted or
this pulp. 1t is taken out by the car
load and fed. The steers seem 10
be wild for it and leave hay to eat
the mess To the visitor it seems
impossible that cattle will eat this
rotted stuff. but they go at it like
it was the finest thing on earth
Great tiers of this refuse beet pulp
is being fed It was stated that could
this factory be assured of a full sup
ply of beets that the pulp would be
contracted for in ten-year terms and
that feeders would bid against each
other for its use.
'When this factory and the project
is looked over it seems that about
all that is necessary is the farmers
to stand in and Nevada will keep
the best moneymaker that I know
of. It is evidently up to the farmers
and not the factory people to make

ELECTRIC
CHANGES
Power Company make
a Showing

During the past two days the Truc-
kee River General Electric company
has been on the grill before the Util-
ity Commits sion of Nevada The COM
pany was cited to show why 1t should
not reduce electric and water rates
both in this city and Reno.
The management of the company
came armed with facts and figures
The Utility Commission had its fig
ures and estimates. The result was
that both showed businesslike prop
osition In the end it was shown tina:
the Electric Company had figures TO
show that Western Nevada was re-
ceiving one of the best lighting SER
vices and power services OH the Goa Il
and at the cheapest rating That part
of the program was soon over and
there will be no reduction in til,
rates 1t was question OF facts ana
figures, such as only could be brought
about by commission or some such
body authorized by law to get to the
meat in the nut
On the other hand the corporate
was found to be working on an un-
equal charge in the delivery of water
and its service in Reno The result
was that promises OF better rates and
service will follow
The efforts of this corporation are
appreciated. During the blizzards
that swept-Nevada-l a-last-month. wrircrr
hundreds of power lines went down
and out in other sections, the ser
vice was uninterrupted in this sec
ton. The Utility Commission COM
plimented the company on its high
standard of efficiency in this case

bad it would have been condemned
just as readily That is what the
Utility Commission is for
