ABOUT OUR PROJECT PROGRESS
Nevada American Tells of the Great
Change That Has Come About
in Forty Mile Desert.

Five million dollars have been in
vested by the United States govern
ment in the Truckee-Carson irriga-
tion project in western Nevada, the
first project begun under the nation
al reclamation act. The ultimate
investment will approximate seven
million dollars.
This project takes water for ir-
rigation from the combined supply
of the Truekee and Carson rivers,
with storage in the Lahontan reser-
yoir now nearing completion. Four
miles below this reservoir, which
has capacity of 100000 acre feet.
diversion is made by two main can
ais and system of about 500 miles
of laterals designed to reach 15O,-
600 acres. Watered directly from
the Truekee canal there will be
100000 acres additional.
The value of crops produced sofar
hovers around the half million dollar
mark annually. Alfalfa, potatoes,
onions, sugar beets. a large variety
of garden truck products and some
of the hardest deciduous fruits are
the staples most commonly grown.
Twenty-Five thousand bags of sugar
were turned out during the 1913
campaign by the beet sugar factory
on the project. A government ex-
pertinent station one mile south of
Fallon is of material assistance in
helping the settlers understand their
problem.
The territory thus being reclaimed
was formerly known as the Forty
Mile desert, desolate stretch of
sage brush sand, the habitat of the
lizard and coyote. 1t was one of
the places most dreaded by travel
ers of the old overland trail. After
laboriously making their way across
the continent, their goal almost at
hand, many an animal and not a
few immigrants perished from thirst.

he has not laid by mneh proyender

sophisticated, but none of these
things entitle lin TO the ap-

That the states editorial associa-

WINTERS DISTRICT JUDGE
District Judge l.. N. French Resigns
and is Succeede by City Attorney
Il. Il. Winters, After Contest.

The resignation of District Judge
L. N. French, which became effect
i've yesterday, resulted in the APP
pointment by Governor T. l.. Oddie
of City Attorney E. E. Winters, to
fill the vacancy thus created, the q
cision being made Saturday ana the
official commission of our new judge
bears the date of yesterday. From
the outset, owing to the facts that
the governor is a republican, and the
retiring judge of like political
faith, the contest for the judicial
honors was recognized as a republic
can matter and local democrats
made no attempt for recognition.
The appointee and Attorney Eli
Cam, both stalwart republicans. ac-
lively sought the honor of serving
this judicial district throughout this
year, and Fallon was agog until the
choice had been definitely made.
Both were substantially backed and
for a time 1t looked like anybody's
fight.
Both insist that the contest,
which was marked by numerous pc
titlons and other evidences of activ-
ity, was a friendly contest, and that
II will go on record as such is cer-
tain.
In the future we shall be glad to
address the successful aspirant for
the bench as Judge Winters, who is
holding district court today for the
first time.

DEATH OF ESTEEMED LADY
Death Claims Mrs. Jay l.. Heady,
After an Illness Extending Ov-
er Nearly Two Weeks.

Death claimed Mrs. Jay l.. Heady
Friday night, after an illness that
had beset this good lady for nearly
two weeks. She was aged 35 years.
Funeral services occurred at the
Baptist church, of which she was a
member, Monday afternoon. INTERIM
ent was had in Fallon cemetery and
in this devoted mothers arms was
laid to rest the babe, for whose life
she freely gave her own, and who
preceded her to the great beyond
but an hour and half. 1t is seldom
that one is called upon to chronicle
the passing of so good a woman.
Deceased had been resident of
Fallon since 1907, In which year she
came here together with the family
/ from the former home in Colorado.
She was united in marriage to Jay L.
Heady at Pueblo, Col, in 1898, to
which union six children were born,
Edgar, Alice, Fay. Dorothy, Margu-
, erite and the unnamed babe. The
death of Marguerite, which occurred
on January 8th, undoubtedly result
ed in the deaths of Friday evening,
and thus the hand of afflication has
been laid extremely heavy upon the
loved ones who mourn the demise of
a beloved wife and mother and two
others of their immediate family.
Mrs. Heady was a devoted Chris
tian lady, having consecrated her
life to her maker early in childhood.
She was genuine helpmate to the
bereft husband, loving and palms.
taking mother, and in this family
there is void that can never be
filed.
The funeral was largely attended,
the members OF the Knights of Py-
thias lodge attending in body. It
was from this order that the pail
bearers we're chosen The high es-
TEEN In which the deceased was held
in life was exemplified by the floral
offerings which were many.
Deceased was native of the state
of Kansas, where a mother and sis
ter now reside. Owing to the ill-
ness of the former they could not
make the journew west when they
were notified of the death of their
daughter and sister.
The passing of Mrs. Heady will
recall to hundreds who have stopped
at the Grand hotel, where she was
hostess for several years, many acts
of kindness that marked stopping
place on weary journey. The
hospitality that is typical of such
kindly spirits, was feature of the
life of this lady. A diligent assis-
tant to her husband, with whom she
embarked in business, Mrs. Heady
was also a friend when a friend
was needed to many who sought
rest and refreshment under her
roof.
Not only will she be sadly missed
by the husband and children, but
this community feels a keen loss
and extends its sympathy freely to
the sorrowing ones.

IMPLEMENTS FOR EVERYONE.

Judging from the great number
of inquiries which we have received
from customers during the last two
or three days, it is our opinion that
the implement business will start off
with rush this spring, and that the
dealer who has the relicble
goods on hand will get the bus
mess because the farmer will want
to get his work done in hurry and
viii not be satisfied to wait for
goods to be shipped after he has
placed his order.
As soon as we were assured that
we were to have lots of moisture we
began to stock up here with the re-
suit that we now have in our ware
house the largest stock of imple-
ments that has ever been in Fallon.
Therefore, we believe that we are
prepared to furnish you promptly
any goods that you may order with
in the next sixty days.
We hope that you will give us the
opportunity to serve you.

nothing has happened TO cause us TO

help himself by making his farm self

for his cotton by cutting down his
acreage, thereby reducing production.
These are plain, common-sense, mud.
