year is estimated at less than L 900
tons, of which about 1000 tons re-
main unharyested and the late freez-

able handicap upon those engaged in
the work of moving beets from the
field to the factory, for until near

full Of frost for the past week that
bcets could not be lifted from the
ground with the plows. The wealth
er moderated considerably yesterday
which should facilitate the work in

As a result of the recent unfavor-
able weather the factory has not

various processes are being main
aimed. " hen it is known that it

BE Leased by the Government.

In anticipation of the actual i'm
pounding of water by the great La
hontan dam next year, the govern
ment authorities are asking for bids
up to December 18th for grazing
privileges between the flow line of
the reservoir and the limits of lands
set aside by the government for the
reservoir. 1t is estimated that an
area of twelve thousand acres
will be available for pastur-
age within the scope OF this
territory, much of which will be val
liable forage producing area fer the
greater part of each year. The var

with the maximum storage of water
will approximate so miles, will make
much territory that should be eag-

able for grazing privileges.
Altogether the res ryoir site COM
prises 1000 acres, 10000 of which
will probably be continuously under

RETURNS FROM LovELOCK.
Fred Hinze is Working Upon Plan
That May Add Great Beet Acreage

Fred Hinze, formerly general
manager of the Nevada Sugar COM
pany, returned to Fallon Monday
from Loyelock, where he has been
making an extended stay. In that
district, he said, there were produc-
ed 40 cars of sugar beets which were
shipped to the Fallon factory. The
greater portion were from the fields
of Peter Anker, the Loveloek farm
er, who from the outset has taken
keen interest in sugar beet affairs
and eooperated in every manner pos
sible with the local factory in an eff
fort to make the enterprise sue
cess. Roughly speaking, Mr.. Hin
re thinks that about 1000 of the to-
tai of about 1900 tons from the
LoYelock district came from the
Anker ranch
Mr.. Hinze is working on a deal,
the particulars of which cannot be
made public at this time, which If
successful will mean that from TO-
600 to 5000 tons of beets will be
raised in the Loveloek district next
year for the Fallon factory. One
thing about Mr., Hinze is that he is
one of those eternal hustlers and
does not know the meaning of the
word defeat,
Mr.. Hinze, being the builder Of
the Fallon factory. Is naturally one
of the most interested Of those desir-
Gus of the factory's success, He
retains a heavy investment in the
enterprise and the marked success
attending the present campaign in
which the capacity has been pretty
thoroughly tried out and proven ev-
erything claimed, brings to Mr. Hin
re vast amount of satisfaction.

WHAT The SUGAR BEET GAN DO
An Excerpt From Nebraska Paper
Telling of How Prosperity Fol-
lows the Sugar Beet.

The following is from the Scots
Bluff, Neb., paper, copy of which
was recently sent to Mr. |. H. Kent,
receiver of the Nevada Sugar Com
pany, and explains how prosperity
follows the Introduction of the beet
sugar industry:
THE largest beet crop ever raised
in the North Platte valley is practi-
cally harvested. There are only a
few fields in which the beets are still
in the ground ind about all that re-
mains for the farmer is 10 deliver his
sliced beets. II is thought that the
company will issue orders to COM
mence on this part of the work next
week Beets are now being ship
pped from the immense storage piles
at Haig and End of Line, where ii is
said that the beets are not keeping
as well as at the other points owing
to the delivery of a good many froz-
en- beets and TO improper piling.
At the SCOTS Bluff dump work is
suspended until the farmers COM
mence hauling from the silo. Weigh
master Simmons credits John Sny-
der with hauling the largest load
across the dump. some 1900 lbs,
and Chris Otto with having the best
field Of beets. 0tto's field is esii-
mated to yield about 20 tons per
acre. The largest number of L ls
o cross the dump in a eagle Gy
vas 17o. The total number Of
loads weighed is nearly 1000. Ow-
ms to the fact of the factory slicing
so many more beets in each "a hour
period than they have hitherto been
able to accomplish it is not likely
that the campaign will last much
Longer than the one of a year ago.
Tae eiloed beets will probably all be
delivered by Christmas. Treasurer
Stark, of the sugar company, made
the second payment TO the farmers
on the 10Th, distributing something
like $3.50, GOO among those of this
valley, which Is considerable money
to turn loose at one time, and which
will be distributed around until ev.
cry resident of the valley has re
ceived more or less benefit. What
a grand valley this will be when we
have htree or fou rfactories, each of
which will be making payments like
the ones mentioned above, and we
are in hopes that it will not be many
years before such is the osse."

ADVISES REGARDING TAXES
The District Attorney Says Taxes
Should be Paid by Homestead
ers Pending Decision.

District Attorney T. C. Hart has
addressed the following letter to J.
". Richards relative to the payment
of taxes by the homesteaders who
ale assessed upon the 1913 roll.
The object sought by the district at
torney is the safeguarding of the
interests of both the county and the
individual. II followed, it will
mean that in any event, the home
steader will not have to suffer the
penalties attaching to delinqueneies.
Fallon, Nevada, Nov 29th, 1913.
J. " Richards, county treasurer,
Fallon, Nevada.
Dear sir
In view of the recent decision rem
dered by one of the federal judges
concerning the assessments of home-
steads and the many inquiries in ref
erence thereto, l would suggest that
you endorse upon the tax receipt in
such cases, words to the effect that
the portion paid upon the real es-
tate had been paid under protest.
This Win certainly protect the
party paying the tax, for in case the
decision recently rendered should
be found to cover cases where proof
of residence has been made, and
should be sustained by the supreme
court then the amount so paid would
be refunded, but in case the law as
heretofore followed by the courts
should be sustained, then no chances
would be taken as to the usual 10
Fer cent. delinquency penalty.
This would seem to be the safe
and fair way, and by following it,
all parties would be protected and
no one injured pending a final de-
termination of the matter.
Yours very truly,
T. G. HART,
District Attorney.

Nebraska Beet Raiser Here
T. G. HART,
District Attorney.

Henry Pepler, a beetraiser hail
Ing from Nebraska, came over Mon
day from Lovelock in company with
Fred Hinze. Mr.. Pepler is one of
the experienced beetmen of the dis
trict in Nebraska where beets are
doing much for the farmers and the
country and he sees great possibili-
ties both here and in the Lovelock
section and will probably locate In
one of the communities.
Back in Mr.. Pepler's district there
is, he says, 1000-ton factory which
enjoyed a mammoth campaign this
season, 100000 tons of beets hav-
ing been furnished for manufactur-
ing by the farmers adjacent.

NEVADA ONCE HAD 4 SEAPORT
The CapticioEs Colorado Once Serv-
ed Utah and Nevada for Freight
Carrying Purposes.

How few citizens of Nevada know
that one time ocean going freighters
landed goods at Nevada point and
supplied most of Utah with the ma
terial used in the construction of the
city Of Salt Lake? Il IS a thous-
and to one bet that not one score OF
men in Nevada today recall the time
when the Colorado river was used
as means of transportation for the
bringing OF supplies to the mining
camps of Utah and Nevada. Two
respectable sized ocean going yes
sells of over 500 tons each piled be-
tween Fort Colwell, above Eldorado
canyon on the Colorado river, after
using the capstain to surmount rap
ids in Black canyon. These were
the chief carriers of the former state
of Utah, the western part of which
was erected into the state of Nevada.
The steamers were the Mojave and
the Apache. The former was com
manded by Captain Miller, who died
only two years ago IN Oakland, Cal.
The ships were operated from the
forties TO as late as 1857, II not la
er. But about that time the rail-
roads extended their steel tenacles
to the Mormon capitol and the wa
ter route with its long ox-trajns, was
put out OF commission. The Fort
Colwell wharves and warehouses are
in evidence today. showing the per
ganeney Of the country on the bord-
ers of the grand canyon OF the Col.
orado. Even the stone walls of
corrals where they fed their oxen
and kept them for the long wagon
hauls, remain today as a reminder
Of the men who had the nerve to
establish their homes on the outpost
of civilization. The landing place
vas scarcely 25 miles from Las Veg
as, New. and the whole eastern end
of this state paid tribute to the en-
ergy of the mariners who brayed the
dangers of the sea and mountain for
lie purpose of opening a new terri
tory. The landing place was half
a nile west Of tho mouth of Boulder
canyon and the trail through Mead
ow wash TO Salt Lake was lined with
hundreds of wagons constantly nov
ing to and fro.

OUR SUGAR SHOULD HAVE GALL

Calling Upon Nevada Residents

The following proclamation, issued
oy Governor T. L. Oddie on the 18th
IS of extreme vital interest to al
loyal Nevadans, or should be, and
proves conclusiyely that the states
chief executive believes the Fallor
factory occupies a very important
relation to the states general vel
fare. That influence, the govern
or comedies, is not local, but gener-
i, or he would not use his Office to
cite the fact that Nevada and the

Sir: An investigation by this

ons OF urgent public importance.
First-That the beet sugar indus
ry can be made one of the chief fac
.ors in the agricultural development
of the state If given support and en-.
enlargement, at this crucial time,
y our own people:
Second-That the failure of the
enterprise, on the other hand, will
siye Nevada an agricultural setback
ince such failure would be attrib-
ted by the outside world as due to
leLcient soil and climatic conditions,
md which would react on all other
ines OF agricultural upbuilding: and
Third-That the success of the
Enterprise, today, rests with the peo-
pie of Nevada as a whole, to give
his initial enterprise Of a great
prospective Nevada industry, now
.truggling for success, the benefit of
The local markets. In other words.

C people OF Nevada give preference,

lished. II Nevada people insist up
on Nevada sugar-which is as good
as the best-all stores will be glad
