AT shortlv hefore N

At shortly before noon yesterday
the water in Lahontan reservoir had
reached to within nine and one-hali
feet of the temporary spillway which
is 56 feet above the streambed and
was backed up the valley above for a
distance of more than five miles. To
bring the water up to the spillway
between then and now would re-
quire a body equal to 10000 acre
feet or flow of 5000 second feet for
period of "a hours in addition to
the 1000 second feet or thereabouts
which are now passing through the
conduits underneath the earthen
dam. This statement by Project
Engineer D. w. Cole should allay
all fears of food here at this time.
The extreme volume of water dis
charging into the dam is largely a
matter of conjecture. At no time,
however, has the dam outlet flow
been as much as 1000 second feet.
1t would require a total of about
5000 second feet of water after
the present reservoir has been filled

now stands for the spillway would

conduits an additional 5000, before

been cared for by men and boats on
the reservoir. This accompaniment of

floods causd much trouble in the
food of 1907 by piling up at the
Carson diversion dam and for time
the structure was threatened.
The largest flood recorded with
the exception of March, 1907, was
in May. 1901, when the Carson
reached $500 second feet. Thus it
will be seen that not only has the
present Carson runoff been the
greatest ever recorded in January,
but 1t is the second largest recorded
since 1901, when the photographic
observations were begun. Old set
tiers tell us, however, Of food that
covered the whole valley during the
sixties and they assert that nothing
like 1t has occurred since.

If Jupiter Pluyius will only lay

NEW HOTEL FOR FALLON

For Putting Up Fireproof Hostelry

One would hardly think that a
dyed-in-the wool business man
would deliberately set about and crei
ate competition for himeels, but this
is exactly what City Mayor George
Sherman did recently when he en-
tered into a contract on behalf of
of the town with Anders Henriksen
for the building of a modern fire
proof hotel structure to be located
on the city's premises on Carson
street. 1t will have every modern
convenience and will only lack one
thing: it will be run on strictly the
American plan and will have no in
side locks on the doors. The night
clerk will be the town cop who
shouts "all's well' throughout the
nocturnal hours and the day clerk
will gather in quote of guests DUR
ing the waking hours when Tom and
Jerry and their conviviality raises

men. These are the guys who Will
enjoy the hospitality OF the city's
hostelry. The bill of fare will
probably be quite rotten and
the beds will be anything but
downy cots of ease. There will be
no balconies or roof gardens, but
the structure will be stable and en-
during as evidenced by the iron,
steel and cement that Is entering in
to its construction.

PRESIDENT WILSON APPLAUDED
New York Stock Exchange OPP
eraters Profess Conversion To
Presidential View Point.

In the irrigated regions of the
West, 1t has been found that the
successful farmer is the man hand
ling a relatively small area which
he is cultiyating by rotation of crops
and by diversified or mixed farm
ing. The production of any one
staple crop, such as wheat or alf-
alta, sold off the farm results in
gradual deterioration and slow con-
sumption of the original invest
ment
The agriculturist of the Oregon
Washington Railroad & Navigation
Company has issued a short state
ment emphasizing this fact. He ad-
yocates diversified farming, because
it provides:
l.. A more economic and profit
able division of labor throughout
the year.
2. A rotation of crops.
3. A more certain and continuous
income.
4. More livestock.
S. Smaller farms.
6. More people on the land.
7. Better roads, better schools
and better social conditions.
8. More intensive and profitable
cultivation of the soil.
8. Increasing productive capacity
OF the land.
10. More and better farm homes.
The disadvantages of a single
crop system of farming are:
1. 1t demands an excessive
amount of labor for short period
of time.
2. It means a multiplication of
weeds and of insect pests.
3. The income Is uncertain and
comes only once year, which leads
logically to a credit system of busi-
ness. which is both dangerous and
unsatisfactory.
4. II tends to the concentration
OF land into large holdings. which
means decrease In rural population.
5. II makes no provision for the
maintenance or increase OF fer
tility.
6. The history of agriculture in
dicates that it Is only question of
time for any single crop system to
bring disaster to the individual and
the community.
These are facts for every farmer,
for every business man, for every
professional man to think about.

COMMERCIAL CLUB AFTER IN
SURANCE RATES IN MEXICO

The insurance companies of Mexico
have been charging Is cents a hun
bred on insurance because the city
taxes them SIS a year. In many
cities no such charge is made by the
companies though they pay the Ii
cense. The Commercial Club, at its
meeting Friday appointed a commit
tee to confer with the City Council
and ask that they introduce an ordi-
nance making the SIS license 500 to
bring the insurance companies TO
time in the matter. The same COM
mittee will also ask that police pro-
lection be given in the city between
A u. N. and z a. m. The night police
go off at 4 a. m. and the day police
on at 7 a. m. which leaves three
hours during the night when we have
no police protection.

range entertainment for the Missouri

endorsed the movement Of the Har-

mittee to have a loan exhibit of his

in the windows Of the stores for one
week, starting October 3.
The committee soliciting the $751;
900 for the extension of the electric
line say they know the money can
be raised and are determined to sue
coed. They have met with some dis
couragement, but as a rule the peo-
pie seem to realize the importance of
the road to Mexico. The committee
is giving it's time from business for
the good of the city and will gain no
more from their work than any other
citizen. They should be c~ourteously
received and every man should do his
part toward aiding in raising the
money.
The story was told at the meeting
of a woman who said she bought
from a mail order house because it
took her, with a team, practically an
entire day to make a shopping trip
here and she figured the expense at
fully $3.50 for the team and her time.
By having the electric road she could
