AUTO RACE TO Be BIG FEATURE
Sporting Event For Friday, Septem-
ber 18th, VIII BE One of Fairs
Chief Attractions.

The big automobile race planned
for the afternoon of Friday, Septem-
Der 18th, promises to be the real
sporting event of the week. AL
ready a sufficient number of entries
have been promised to assure wide
spread interest and Fallon's first
automobile race will doubtless be
race between cars of different makes
and under conditions assuring
real contest.
w. A. Keddie has been selected as
referee and starter-in other words,
Mr.. Keddie will be very nearly the
whole thing as the arbiter of the
auto racing event, which is aimed as
straight forward test for autos.
There will probably be large cars,
medium sized cars and small cars,
and the ratings of efficiency will be
based on the rules put forward by
the American Automobile Associa-
tion. Handicaps thus imposed will
insure every car an even break in
the distribution of prizes.
The auto race will start and end
at the race track In front of the
grand stand. From there the course
will lead down Williams avenue to
Taylor street; thence to Center,
which is to be followed to it's inter-
section with Maine street which will
be followed to Williams avenue,
and thence west to the grand
stand making course of about one
and one-half miles. including the
distance around the track. Fifteen
laps will comprise the racing dis
tance and the sharp turns of the
street corners, wide streets and fair
ly good street surface will insure
some spectacular racing with plenty
of jockeying for positions.

Registration for the recently open
ed project land is proceeding slowly,
the condition being logically attrib-
utable to the impromptu nature Of
the opening and the fact that hu-
manity generally is inclined towards
procrastination. Each incoming
train brings fair quote of land
seekers, who are vieing with each
other in securing the valley for de-
sirable locations. The registrations
effected to date are practically all
from among local residents who
have waited long for the opportuni-
ty to pick upon the object of their
long cherished desire.
Those in charge of the land dis
posal estimate that the closing days
of the registration period, which
ends on the 10th of this month, will
be characterized by lively attempts
to get money down ON many farm
units. Inasmuch as less than 100
units of public land are open to set
tlement, it will be readily seen that
no great number of homeseekers
will be required to exhaust the sup

F. P. Damn, of Reno, Nevadas
leading photographer, who is well
known in every part of the state,
visited Fallon Sunday and Monday
Mr.. Damn came here from Lahontan.
where he spent last week taking
Views of the vests largest artificial
lake. He secured two panoramic
pictures, one from below and the
other portraying the vast reservoir
from an eminence above the struct-
ure, which is now practically COM
plete. The largest picture of course
has to do with Lake Lahontan and
the impounding structure. 1t is
four feet in length by Is inches in
width. The smaller picture is of the
same width. but is only three and
one half feet in length and is a per-
feet replica of the lower side of the
dam and surroundings, including the
projects hydro-electric plant. These
pictures may be had retouched in
colors. or uncolored. They are
genuine works of art and may very
properly be framed and hung in any
Nevada parlor. The reservoir pano-
rama sells for SIS in colors or 81
uncolored, while the smaller picture
sells for $4 in colors and 50 un-
colored.
MrDa nm took large number OF
orders in Camp Lahontan for his
latest handiwork and will doubtless
enjoy large sale, for the views arc
so truly panoramic that they are
nearly as good as real trip to Lake
Lahontan.

RAILROAD LAND.
s. p. Land Agent Visits Fallon From
Temporary Headquarters In Reno


G. c. Morris, travelling agent for
the Southern Pacific lands, visited
Fallon Friday between trains. Else
where in this isse will be seen a dis
play advertisement announcing the
fact that the railroad company has
established land agency in Reno,
where Mr.. Morris will be stationed
until after the land drawing on the
18th of this month, where he will be
glad to receive applications for the
company's 80 units within this pro-
ject that are now, in addition to the
95 government units, open to settle
ment by bona fide homeseekers.
The prices of the railroad lands
here vary from $500 to $4,000 per
acre, the average being $500 to
$1,000. In all, there are 1000
acres of railroad land now open to
settlement, most of which is located
tributary to Fallon. Four units,
Mr.. Morris stated, have already been
sold in the Fernley district, while
but three others remain there, of
those available to settlement now
unsold.

LABOR DAY AT FAIRVIEW
rairyiew Residents Excel As Hosts
On Labor Day-Athletic Cnntests,
Barbecue and Dance.

The Labor Day celebration at
Fairyiew, in which the Fallon base
hall and tennis teams participated,
was big success and the large con-
tingent of Fallon people who attend
ed are unanimous in praising the
hospitality and good fellowship of
their hosts. The true spirit of the
Nevada mining camp was never
more evident than upon the occa-
sion. when the Nevada Hills boys
outdid themselves in providing en-
tertainment for their guests There
was not dull moment during the
entire celebration which started with
the ball game between Fairview and
Fallon and wound up with a grand
bali at night in the dining hall of
the company's boarding house.
The Fallon boys went over early
Monday morning, arriving at the
ball field, in the old town of Fair
view, at about IL a. m. The game
was called at about IL o'clock.
From the start 1t was evident that
the Fallon team was up against a
fast aggregation. Lee. the Fairview
twirler, had good control and plenty
of smoke. Snyder for Fallon pitched
a good game. though not up to his
usual form. and his support In the
field was rather ragged. A Fair.
view man umpired the game and his
decisions were uniformly fair. The
final score was I 10 l IN favor of
Fairyiew.
Immediately after the game the
crowd proceeded TO the upper camp
above the mill where all partook OF
a picnic dinner In which well bar
becued beef was one of the principal
attractions.
The tennis match on the new con
crete court below the mill followed
dinner The first match beween
Dixon for Fallon and Marsh for
Fairyiew, which was very closely
contested. furnished a splendid ex.
hibition OF the game as well as plen-
ty OF excitement for the large crowd.

The Truckee-Carson Fair, Commence
ing Next Monday, Will Be States
Largest Agricultural Show.

The 1914 Truckee-Carson fair
will be in full swing next Monday.
Commencing with this date people
will be enjoying what will be with
out doubt the most comprehensive
grouping of project resources in the
history of the section Introspect-
i've and retrospective, the approach
ing fair promises to hold much of
interest for both those who live at a
distance and at home. Home people
particularly may profit from the ex-
position of their neighbors' work as
exemplified by their exhibits at the
fair. 1t has been said and in truth
that no man, no matter how new to
the farming business, or how abject
a failure he may be in the final an
alysis, but has within himself a cer-
tain value for his community, in
that he points the way for those
about him. 1t may be the way from,
rather than to, but in either event
his experimentation is of value. 1t
must be remembered that from the
greenest swashbuckler a lesson is
often learned. And no smart man
ever progresses to a point where he
can no longer learn.
Without detracting an iota from
Reno's fair, which follows ours in
quick succession, it may be truth
fully stated that the Truckee-Carson
projects annual fair is doing more
than any other one thing to stimu-
late agriculture within the state.
OF humble beginning, 1t has grown
until now its offerings are of wide
range and include amusements and
recreational pastimes of all kinds in
addition to the usual bona fide Of
ferings of country fair.
Our annual fair Is q proper place
to mediate upon lost opportunities.
When one sees a luscious peach or
crisp cantaloupe or prodigious wheat
or alfalfa or sunkissed apples labeled
from certain farm unit within this
project, at which some of US prob
ably turned up our noses in compar-
atively recent times, they bring
home the unyoiced conviction that
the biggest fools among us are those
who once felt sorry for these same
people who are now producing
matchless produce upon farms that
are real homes and are certain to
increase in their value and desira-
bility as time passes. Our fair is
place for farmers to mediate upon
lost opportunities and new plans;
upon the apples trees which were not
sprayed and the scrub mixers that
we're not weeded out of the herd
long ago. as well as upon ways to
make the brain do more work and
the muscles less. The farmers
brain is his best friend. and the fair
gives him leisure to make its ac-
quaintance.
And in addition our fair holds
much of interest for. those from
abroad who are in search of recre-
alton or who would come here to
check up what has already been told
them of their matchless resources
by viewing the project produce
grouped within the several depart
ments of the exhibit pavilions.
The Truckee-Carson fair, we re-
peat. is the states best agricultural
exhibit 1t is so far and away
ahead of anything else to be seen
within the state that comparison is
not possible. And this happy con-
dition exists because every man,
woman and child upon this project
sets this period of the year aside as
a time To take pardOnable pride in
