is A RICH
COUNTRY
So Declares Chas. Way in Telling
OF the Progress Being
Made AT FaIIOn

Chas. Way. who is engaged in the
real estate business at Fallon. spent
several days in Gardnervile this
week. He reports that the La
hontan dam, which is to be utilized
in conserving the flood waters of
the Carson river for irrigation pur-
poses at the Truckee-Carson pro-
ject, is nearly completed and will be
used this summer as part of the
storage system of that project.
The Department of Interior had
originally planned to throw open for
settlement a large tract of land in
that district in May, but owing to
irrigation bills now pending in
Congress, the early opening was
postponed. Among the changes to
be made is the extension of time
from 10 to 20 years, feature
recommended by Secretary of the
Interior Franklin K. Lane. This
liberal feature means much to
the settlers. 1t is expected that the
immense tract of new land will be
thrown open to settlement this fall
when hundreds of new families will
be attracted to Nevada.
Fallon has the brightest future of
any town in this state aud bids fair
to become a city as large as Reno.
Already Fallon has a municipal
water and sewer system. controls
the towns lighting system, while
Churchill county owns and operates
the telephone system. the only in
stance of its kind in the United
States. The population of Fallon is
1850 and growing rapidly.
Mr. Way is an enthusiastic booster
for that district and let it he said
that he who speaks a good word for
his home town is man to be adj
mired.

Mexican Sentenced
To Serve One Year

Tom Ortego, a Mexican, arrested
in Gardnervile last week on a charge
of selling whiskey to Indians, plead
ed guilty in the District Court at
Genoa Tuesday and was sentenced
by Judge Langan to serve one year
and not more than eighteen months
in the state penitentiary at Carson.
His plea of guilty had great deal
to do with a light sentence being
given him.
The officers had been watching
the Mexican for some time but were
unable to get positive proof against
him. Last week he caused a fracas
at Poker Toms camp. The Indians
turned against him and furnished
the officers with sufficient evidence
to secure his conviction. At first
the prisoner declared his innocence.
but upon learning of the stand
adopted by the Indians, he was
willing to plead gully and throw
himself to the mercy of the court.
Sheriff Arid delivered Ortego to
the prison yesterday.

CLEE CLUB
CONCERT
High Class Entertainment Given
But Attendance Was
Small.

The University of Nevada Glee
Club. under the direction of Chas.
Haseman, gave their second annual
concert at Minden last Friday eve
ming and the splendid program was
immensely enjoyed by every person
in the hall. 1t is regrettab!e that
they were not greeted by a larger
audience. Their entertainment
certainly merited the widest patro-
mage. Their harmony singing was
a real treat and every number they
were called back for an encore.
The program was admirably arrang-
ed, having just enough comedy
mixed in to keep the audience in the
highest spirits. The solos by Walk
er. Ferris and Rose, are worry of
the highest praise. The comedy
take-oif on Romeo and Juliet, by
Johnson and Ferris, was rich bit
of travesty and was received with
appreciation. Ross. in monologue,
was good and he received warm ap-
plause. Miss Jaunita Frey was ac-
companiest i'm the solos and her
ability as pianoist is too well
known in this community to require
praise from us. 1t may be said
however. that our people were glad
of the opportunity To hear her a.
gain.
The entertainment was followed
by a social dance. the GardnerVille
orchestra furnishing the music.

WANTS DAMAGES
FOR LOST AFFECTIONS
Alienated Affections Never Had Any
Value Because They Had No Ex
istence.

gan listened today to the testimony of
Robert Lithgow, former employe, who
appeared against her in the $4,000
alienation suit in which Mrs. Orris o..
Budd charges Mrs. Morgan with alien
ating the affections of her husband.
Lithgow testified that he went with
Budd into Mrs. Morgan's room in her
house at Gina, Cal, on March 9, 1913,
finding Mrs. Morgan in bed
"She threw her arms about BudPS
neck and they embraced and kissed"
Lithgrow said. 'Then ! went out and
shut the door. They were in there alone
about an hour.
After Mrs Budd had found her hus-
band and Mrs. Morgan together at the
Mine house according to her complaint,
Lithgrow continued, Mrs. Morgan sent
him to MIS- Budd to say that Mrs. Nor
gan would never see Budd again and
would pay her $4,000 if the affair
were kept quiet. Mrs. Budd refused to
consider the proposition until she had
consulted her attorney, Lithgow said.
The defense will try to prove Mrs.
Morgan to be the victim of a blackmail-
ing plot.

months there to show that the modern

man, will leave mere about July 10, 1t
was stated today, for Grants Pass, Ore,

southwark in the direction of the Cali

He will spend 60 days in the wilds to
prove that it was not simply his IA
miliarity with the Maine wilderness
which made his previous experiment a
success, but that he can do equally well
in an unknown country.
That he received outside aid while
in the Maine woods was charged in
some quarters, but doubters will have
chance, by watching him during his
Oregon adventures, he said today, to
convince themselves that his accom-
