THE 1918 CAMPAIGN IS OVER
The Nevdaa Sugar Company Has
Concluded It's 1913 Campaign.
Management Successful.

The 1913 Nevada Sugar Company
campaign came to an end Sunday
afternoon, so far as the slicing of
beets was concerned. The factory
sugar making processes were contin-
ued to be concluded this evening
All the brown sugar and syrups that
could be refined were put through
the complete process and nothing Is
to be unnecessarily left that has
commercial value.
There was actually sliced during
the campaign little over 1000
tons of beets and there will be
realized therefrom when work is
conluded for the season this evening
in round numbers, 9 8, 0 0 0
bags of sugar, which it is calcu-
lated will be marketed exclusively
among the loyal home folks of this
state.
The average sugar per centage
for the entire campaign was 1854,
and the purity, 1913, as compared
1876 per cent sugar and 80 per cent
purity last year. The campaign
lasted "a days and the average tons
sliced per day was 30S or about
three times as many as last year.
The shrinkage this year was four
per cent, as compared to IL last
year. The amount of oil consumed
for fuel this campaign was 1000
barrels, costing about $50 per bar
rel. One hundred and thirty men
were employed on an average throu-
ghout the campaign on the two L.
hour shifts and the disbursement for
labor was substantial.
Altogether the campaign was a
successful one and reflects credit up
on the management. Receiver 1. H.
Kent states that the factory will op-
crate again next season beyond
question of doubt and is busy with
the preparation of a new schedule
of prices for beets to govern next
season that will be to the benefit of
the farmers.
During the recently concluded
campaign there was no injury to an
employe of the factory or an unnec-
essary delay, and the quality of sug-
ar is the best. In addition to the
revenue to be derived from the man.
ufactured product this campaign has
produced some 500 tons of molasses
and $500 tons of pulp, which are
being fed to stock and will return
gross revenue to the factory of in
the neighborhood of $4,000

WATER PAYMENTS POSTPONED
Water Users to be Allowed Further

The following telegram was receiv

of last June, which was published in
the local papers:

Comptroller.
The above dispensation is in real
ity a postponement of the date when
water payments must be met of
three months, for under the order
of last June December ist of this
year was the date set when the an
nual building charge, reduced to
one-third the instalment contemplate

out that owing TO the time required

linquent entrymen, that the post
D nement would be made to extend
to February 1st, 1914. This late
action, viewed from any angle, Is a
postponement of 80 days. IL means
that local farmers will have this ad-
ded time in which to dispose of the
produce of the farm, and is more
important than appears at first
blush.
The reclamation Office bills sent TO
water users several weeks ago gave
the date when the water users pay
ments were due as being December

ABOUT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL

Fallon school has the largest en-
rollment of any within the third dis
trict. being 225, as compared with
1S5 in Winnemucca, the district
next in size. The district here is
facing immediate action of some
kind that will provide better facili-
ties for the scholars than are now
at hand and the taxpayers may as
well meet the matter fairly and
squarely. The original mistake of
the builders of the present main
school was in building for needs
a blind man should have seen were
short lived A four room structure,
located upon a lot with inadequate
space for the outdoor sports, so nee
essary for the youth, is all the dis
trict has at present. 1t will take
some real business acumen to meet
the needs of the district,
The possibility of the combining of
this district with others contiguous,
in a centralized school plan at a date
in the future, is one thing that must
be considered, for an amalgamation
of this kind might easily nullify ex-
pensive and we'll meant effort. But
whatever is done an attempt to make
something of the present school
building by adding to it. appeals
to this paper as the last expedient.
Such a plan would absorb great
amount of the taxpayers money and
in the final analysis, they would
still have an obsolete structure and
inadequate grounds.

ABOUT A FLOUR MILL.
Negotiations Are Under Way for the
Early Establishing of Grist Mill

That Fallon will have a -four mill
within the near future now seems
assured. Last week a miller from
the east practically concluded nego-
tiations with Frank Inman, of Haz-
en-. for the purchase of the plant OF
the st. Clair mill, which includes
late patent process machinery. The
party has returned homo to close his
Affairs preparatory to coming to Fal-
Ion. 1t is understood that the St.
Clair plant will be moved to loca-
tioln alongside of the railroad right

tricity will be used for motive pow

Italian Dies Away From Relatives

A sad funeral occurred Monday
afternoon, when obseQuies were
held over the remains of Geo. CAST
nero, an Italian who died Friday af-
ternoon.
At the funeral, which was offici-
ated over by Rev. Z. l.. spaulding,
we're but the undertaken and two of
Casimeros countrymen. Nothing IS
known of decedent's family and 1t
is understood that they will probably
go unapprised of the fact that he is
dead. He was aged about 46
years and had worked for quite a
while as a ranch hand for c. NJ
Beeghly. Among his effects was
found a note for $500, which, it is
assumed. was his only resource.

events made by Big Stone Gap, East

her best athletics being crippled up with
bad ankles

present all day on the field no intermis
sion being given for dinner, and the good

greatly enjoyed and appreciated Moth
