DEATH OF A DEVOTED MOTHER
Mrs. v. A. Tamney, of Oling-
house District Gave Up
Life Thursday.

Another life was sacrificed on
noon last Thursday, when Mrs. V.
A. Tamney, of Olinghouse district,
passed away in this place. Handing
her eleven days old infant son, whom
she had cuddled into sleep, to the
nurse with the remark that she
loved her children, she sank into the
sleep that knows no awakening in
this world. Conscious until the last
she must be counted as among the
mothers who unflinchingly give up
their own lives that others may
live-a form of heroism by the side
of which all others sink into insig-
nificance.
The passing of this devoted moth
er was a decided shock to her family
and intimate friends and her ply
sician and nurse. Brought to Fal-
Ion a few days previously from
Wadsworth, she was apparently i'm
proving rapidly, when a crisis en-
sued and her life was quickly taken.
The funeral sevices occurred from
the Methodist church Sunday after
noon and were conducted by Rev. J.
M. Wilson. Following the religious
observances, the body was tenderly
laid to rest amid bower of floral
offerings in the Knights of Pythias
plot in Fallon cemetery.
Deceased was born at Dixon, wy
oming, November 26th, 1889. She
was united in marriage to v. A.
Tamney at Reno on April 5th, 1907,
following which the couple followed
mining camp life in Nevada. A
brave. cheeful lady, she reflected her
sunny disposition wherever she
went and to know her was to respect
and esteem her. Residents of the
Fernley district in 1911 and 1912,
during which time they developed
home, they sold out in 1912 and
again took up life in mining dis
trict, this time at Gold Mound, Nye
county, where Mrs. Tamney was one
of two women in the district They
moved to the Olinghouse district
last year where Mr.. Tamney recent
'ly acquired valuable placer holdings
and Mrs. Tamney's life was exacted
by the Grim Reaper at time when
life held greatest promise.
Surviving are the husband, two
infant sons, one two and one-half
years old and the other two weeks,
AIN aged mother, four brothers and
three sisters, the mother and broth
ers and sisters being residents of
Wyoming, where the family located
in early days. The mother Mrs. s.
NJ Morgan, was in attendance at the
funeral of her daughter and has
taken the two babies in charge to
supplement the mothers care.

BIG CLEANUP DAY FOR FALLON
Next Friday Being the Choice of
the Ladies Is the Day
To Clean Up.

BY special proclamation of Mayor
Geo. Sherman and by the edict of a
large number of the towns ladies,
next Friday will be general cleanup
day in Fallon. Already a clean
town in more ways than one, it Is
aimed to have this peaceful village
| Immediately spotless on next Fri
day and ever afterwards. Alleys
will be made as free from unsightly
garbage and unsanitary refuse as a
boulevard; back yards will vie
with back yards for first place and
the cleanup will even extend into the
domain of the unfrequented-un-
slightly outhouses will be made to
give way to the general campaign of
progress set afoot by Fallon's ladies.
After all Is said and done 1t takes
the ladies and their wholesome initi-
atiye to make both the men and the
dirt they create get out of their us,
ual haunts for better things.
And now that the women have
had the goodness of heart and pur-
pose to start this clean up propa-
ganda it is very much up to the men
to respond with their utmost en-
deavor. and rspond they will beyond
a question of doubt. They have re-
sponded with cash donations to fec
Fridays wokers and they will re
spond as readily with their muscle
when the microbie burden is taken
up next Friday
And there will be no abatement
of zest and effort until the town OF
Fallon has been made as spick and
span as the ladies would have it.
Their wishes must be deferred to.
With this object in view the city
council, cooperating with their
wives to whom they bow in humble
obeisance, have named committees
who will have to boss others as they
work. And likewise it is expected
that they too will work as they boss.
Councilman Oats, first ward, named
the following straw foremen; w.
A Reddie, c. L. Benadum, D. =.
Williams and Harry Robinson.
Councilman Jones in the second
ward: w II. Reayis. A. e. volkerts,
Rev. E. L. spaulding and ]. B.
Young. Councilman Jarvis, of the
third ward: T. A. Jones, b. C.
Archer, J. P. Schneider and ]. w.
Vannoy.
Those behind the cleanup move-
ment are anxious that all property
owners shall have their refuse in the
alleys In the rear of their premises
by noon of Friday following which
teams will be on hand to carry it to
the dumping grounds.

RESOLVE AGAINST SPEEDERS
City Council Asked By Chamber
of Commerce To Save
Life and Limb.

At its meeting held Thursday even
ing the local chamber of commerce
unanimously passed resolutions
calling on the Fallon city council
to raise the speed limit for all forms
Of traffic from eight miles an hour.
as is provided now by ordinance, to
l 5 miles per hour and strictly en-
force the new measure following its
adoption.
1t would seem that this resolution
Is a wise one. Fifteen miles an hour
Is fair rate of speed for autoists,
yet 1t does not endanger life. With
new auto owners blossoming out in
Fallon almost daily and every one
a speed burner when he has learned
to turn on the gasoline feed, the
children of the town are not safe un-
les precautions other than are now
being taken are put forward.
The resolution follows:
Fallon, Nevada, May 8, 1911.
To the Honorable Mayor and
Council of the City Of Fallon:
At regular meeting of the
Churchill County Chamber of Com
meree the following resolution. di-
reeted to your honorable body, was
passed without a dissenting vote.
and a committee composed of + G.
Hough, T. c, Hart, and S. Rosenberg
was designated to present the same
at the next council meeting:
Whereas, utter disregard has
been and is being shown toward the
city ordinance providing for a speed
limit Of eight miles per hour for all
vehicles within the limits of the
city of Fallon, and
Whereas, reckless fast driving Of
automobiles on our city streets has
become a common practice, thus
placing a constant danger in the
path of pedestrians. and especially
children. and
Whereas. the present speed limit
prescribed by ordinance is deemed
unreasonable, and no effort what
ever is being made to enforce the
same, or TO stop the dangerous
practice. of speeding, thus showing
an indifference to the law and to the
public welfare which amounts to al
most criminal negligence;
Therefore be it resolved, by the
Churchill County Chamber of Com
merce. that the Honorable Mayor
and Council of the City of Fallon are
hereby respectfully petitioned to pass
an ordinance fixing the speed limit
for automobiles and other vehicles,
also for horseback riders, at fifteen
miles per hour, and that the SAID
ordinance be rigidly enforced at all
times"
Your favorable consideration of
the above resolution is most respect
fully solicited.

uses. are being turned oown, the re-
mainder mounting up behind the
great earthen dam at Lahontan that
spells independence of the Truckee
watershed for this part of the pro-
ject. About 5000 acre feet will be
maintained within the impounding
dam throughout the summer, as a
reserve supply for the late irrigating
months when in former years the
project farms suffered greatly.
Happily this condition cannot
come about again. AS result the
hay crops may always number three
each season if farmers care to thus
divide the seasonal growth of their
alfalfa, while in other instances,
where dairying hay is needed, four
crops will be cut.

THURSDAYS FIRE EDISASTEROUS
Early Morning Blaze Occasions
Heavy Loss Only Part
ly Insured.

Fallon's ample fire protection
was fully demonstrated early Thurs
day morning, when the wooden
building occupied by the Lahontan
candy store and the Baker bakery
vas well afre from end to end. Any
local citizen who witnessed the fires
extinguishment without words of
praise would be derelict indeed.
With four streams playing ON the
fire of Thursday morning behind all
Of which there was a pressure of
more than one hundred pounds;
with a heroic response from volun-
teer fireman from among the
towns citizens, and with the results
OF the towns water supply and the
volunteer firemen plainly in evil
dence, one can only conclude that
the fire insurance underwriters
board having the matter of fixing
the insurance rates for Fallon in
their control are exacting a rate of
premium far beyond what is actually
justified.
Discovered first at about one
o'clock the fire in the rear room of
the Lahontan establishment quickly
ale its way into the remainder of
the structure, damaging in it's
course the north wall of the DR.. G.
NJ Gardner building Altogether
the loss is estimated at around ST.
500, the chief loser being L. A.
Gulling who carried $3.50 insur-
ance. Mrs. j. J. Baker carried an
$500 policy on the bakery contents,
while the Gardner building is in
eared to cover the loss. J. l..
Heady. Mrs Emma Behrens and
Ringen's confectionery all suffered
losses, chiefly from water and dam
age from hurried handling of furni-
tnre.
The city council has just cause for
pride in the water system. The
members of the town board have re-
quested this paper TO express their
gratitude for the volunteer work
done Thursday morning, and proper
II owners nearby who were thus
benefited are likewise grateful.
