COMMERCIAL CLUB AUSPICES
Entertainment Under Local Arrange
ment Will BE A Banner One And
Should Not Be Missed.

College harmony, soft serenades,
boisterous drinking songs, and clev-
er comedy will be the order for Sat-
urday night. The sixteen singers
who will journey from Reno have a
varied abur dance of all, and from
reports they can render them we'll.
Already three concerts have been
giyen-one at Reno, one at Gardner
place warm welcome was accorded
the club, and the acclaim of each
audience demanded nineteen songs
of the club, one number being re-
sponded to with four different en-
cores.
The two solos, "Mascushla' as
sung by Louis Rose, and "a Little
Love, A Little Kiss" as sung by Tom
Walker have been pronounced par
ticularly good. Rose is possessed of
sweet high tenor voice, such as
can handle those good old Irish
melodies in the best style. Walk
er's voice Is termed as operate ten
or, with all the fire and flexibility
necessary in such song as "A Lit
tie Love, A Little Kiss"
THE Sagebrush Medley" an ar
rangement of old and new favorites
by Charles Haseman, director of the
club, is one hit that has made for the
success of he clubs concerts. 1t Is
a constant flow of lively airs clever
ly interlocked, and we'll harmonized.

UP AT LAHoNTAN.
Progress of Dam Building Work Is
Satisfactory. Will Be Complete
September list.

The work of building the Lahont-
an dam is proceeding highly satis-
factorily. according to the project
officials. Monday. the down stream
portion which Is constructed Of grav-
ell, had reached a height of 20 feet
above the streambed. Work Is in
progress filling in the temporary
spillway and another concrete step
is being placed there, which will al
low raising the temporary spillway
an additional ten feet. As the dam
structure moves upward this tempor-
airy spillway is maintained always at
an elevation 10 feet lower than the
structure. This provides spill
way for emergency purposes. Should
sudden warm rain send the food
down from the mountains, the pro-
ject authorities would be prepared
for it at any time.
The date of the dams actual com.
pletion has been set for September
1st and the manner in which affairs
at Lahontan are moving presage the
forecast.

TO EXTEND SCOPE PARCEL POST
Parcel Post To BE Invoked To Re-
duce High Cost of Living by POST
master General Burleson.

Preliminary steps were taken by
the post Office department Saturday
TO perfect its plan for reducing the
cost of living by having the parcel
post carry products of the farm di-
rectly to the door OF the consumer.
Ten cities were selected to begin
the work of establishing direct con-
nections between producer and con-
sumer, Postmaster General Bnrleson
having already issued an order per-
hitting the use of crates and boxes
for butter. eggs, poultry. vegetables
and fruit shipped by parcel post.
Orders went to the postm asters
at Boston. Atlanta. St. Louis, San
Francisco, Baltimore, Detroit, La
Crosse, Wis. Lynn, Mass. Rock
Island. ILL.,. and Washington, d. c.,
directing them to receive the names
of persons who are willing to sup
ply farm products in retail quanti-
ties by parcel post" Printed lists
of these names showing kind and
quantity of commodity available
Will be distributed among town and
city patrons.
BY the use of the lists" First
Assistant Postmaster General Roper
said ''the city consumer will be able
to get in touch with farmer who
will fill his weekly orders for butter
and eggs and other farm produce.
The consumer will receive the pro-
duce fresh from the country and the
personal relationship established
will no doubt tend to improve the
quality. The farmer will be reliev-
ed of carrying his produce to mar
ket as the rural carrier will make
daily collections at the farmers door
OF these retail shipments to city con-
sumers
THE farmer may use inexpensive
hampers, whose value would not
warrant their return, or he may use
the higher grade hampers for which
he may include an additional charge
to be credited to the consumer upon
the return OF the hamper by parcel
post.
"The postmaster general believes
this plan is the one thing necessary
to enable the people TO enjoy the po-
tential benefits of the parcel post"

consideration.

consideration.
Mr.. Davis touched upon sub
ject of extreme local interest in re-
ferring to the Lahontan power plant,
the history of which he gave inter-
estingly. 1t was Fallon's good luck
that this plant was found necessary
in the building of the Lahontan
dam, owing to the absence of an
economical fuel supply for power de-
velopment. The early completion
of the dam, he said, compells the
government to look elsewhere for an
outlet for the energy developed that
will make the plant a self-sustaining
one. To this end the government
will shortly advertise for bids upon
the surplus energy of the Lahontan
plant. Inquiries received by the
local project officials from an out
side concern. interested in both min
ing and agricultural develovment,
indicate a serious desire for this en-
ergy, and the deal consummated,
will tend to augment the mainte-
nance and operation fund Of the
project materially.

ceded Mr.. Davis with short talk

MAY LEASE LAnONTAN PLANT
Rochester Mining Interests Desire
Use of Lahontan Plant and Pro-
poeals Are Asked For.

Project Engineer ID. w. Cole re-
turned Monday morning from ac-
companying Chief Engineer Arthur
p. DAVIS, of the reclamation commits
sion to Sacramento, where a confer
ence was had with o. II. Ensign,
chief electrical engineer of the rec
laation service, upon the project of
leasing the Lahontan hydro-electric
plant TO a private concern for a peri
cd OF 10 years. Authority has been
granted by the Secretary of the In
terror for the placing of five adyer-
tisements in as many technical jour-
nails over the country, Offering this
power for disposal and 1t now seems
probable that no difficulty will be en-
countered In the sale of the power
developed at Lahontan. when the
government is through with the
great plant.
The specific request for power.
underlying the present activity OF
reclamation officials In seeking the
sale of the Lahontan power, comes
from reliable parties in the Rochest-
er mining district, who propose TO
take the power that may reduce the
ores of the district from Lahontan,
over a transmission line that would
be 100 miles long and would ira
verse the Lovelock valley, where
many pumping schemes present ad-
ditional field for exploitation under
the benefits that would be afforded
by transmission line.
The ADVERTISEMENTS calling for
bids on the power have been placed
and advise that on Auril 18th the
project engineer will open bids prev
iously received at the Fallon Office.
for the lease OF the Lahontan plant
In its entirety for period of ten
years. commencing September 1st.
II 10 proposed In the form OF con-
tract. which has been prepared and
forwarded to the secretary OF the
Interior for his approval. to assign
together with the privileges attached
to tho conduct OF the Lahontan
plant, the Fallon municipal electr-
cal contract. the only reservation by
the government being loo kilowatts.
for drainage pumping within this
project.
The present capacity OF the La
hontan plant Is nominally 1000 kill
owatts. though II is capable OF car
rying very heavy overload, owing
to Its excellent construction. The
form Of contract provided by the
government authorities stipulates
that the successful bidder for tho
Lahontan plant lease shall install an
additional 500-kilowatt unit. the
title of which shall rest in the gov
eminent, which proposes to reim-
burse the expense thus incurred by
a remission OF the charges for elect
rical service until paid. The La
hontan power plant cost In the
neighborhood of $4,000 Should
the lease proposed be carried
through to successful termination
II would bring into the project coff-
esr a minimum annual income OF
$4,000 to $4,000, and probably
much mo.e. depending upon the
amount OF energy consumed.

LOGICAL CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE
The Democratic Party In Churchill
County Has Admirable Candidate
For District Judgeship.

In considering the available ma
terial for the judgeship of this dis
trict to be chosen at the election
this year, we are impressed with the
very favorable comment from all
sources upon the selection for that
position of our own townsman and
present District Attorney. Hon. T. c.
Hart.
Mr.. Hart has been in the active
practice of the law for eleven years,
having received his law degree of l..
L.. b., in 1902. and has not only es-
tablished himself as successful
practitioner and very reliable coun-
selor in his profession, but has also
unquestionably established himself
as a highly respected citizen, always
pursuing the "even tenor of his
way" and is thoroughly identified
with the welfare and best interests
of the community.
| Not only has he faithfully and
well attended to the many and vari-
GUS duties of his office in a careful,
conscientious, and Industrious man.
ner. always looking to the best in
terests of the county in general, but
the record on file in the Office of the
Attorney General at Carson City,
covering the first year of Mr.. Hart's
incumbency of the Office of District
Attorney. makes a very creditable
showing indeed.
There have been only two acquit-
tails and one disagreement of the
jury. There has been one convic-
tion for murder by which the de-
fendant received sentence for the
period of his natural life in the state
prison, and another defendant for
period of from twenty-five to fifty
years. which is something unusual
in this county, In fact rarely In the
state, while all have been made to
realize that they were on trial. Five
others on the advice Of their counsel
and pleas of guilty" have also
been sentenced to serve terms in the
state prison, making total of seven
sentenced for felonies and eighteen
for mis- demeanors during the first
ten months of Mr.. Hart's incumb-
ency of the Office of District Attor-
ney, not including Francisco Marti-
neg. who was recently convicted by
trial and sentenced to from three
and one-half to five years in state
prison.
that any prosecuting officers merit
depends entirely upon the number OF
convictions secured, and especially is
this true in this county where con-
victions have always been the excep-
tion rather than the rule. The end
should be to see that the party
charged has good fair trial. and
when that Is done if the jury sees fit
to acqIit. the responsibility Is with
them, and Mr.. Hart's particularly
clean methods and disposition for
| fairness show that instead OF trying
to convict merely for the sake of
conviction alone, that he takes as
much, or even more satisfaction in
seeing an innocent man freed, than
guilty one convicted.
This freedom from any personal
feeling, his exceptional spirit of abb
solute fairness, together with his ex-
perience and ability seem to brand
him as the logical and altogether
proper person for the next judge of
this district, and We predict that IN
due season he will be chosen as the
candidate of his party and elected,
unless he should prefer to remain
where he is.

HUSH UP-oR CLOSE UP?

A week or so ago i: was stated in the press
that License Inspector w. P FenneIl had ar
rested Otto Schwerdtfeger, manager of the
United Spanish War Veterans Club, doing
business on the corner of Merchant and Alakea
streets, for violating the liquor law. Through
the publicity given this place and its loose and
scandalous management by the press the at
torney general of the territory has already pro-
ceeded in the courts against it. There have
been repeated charges of bold and fragrant VIC
lation of law continuously going on in this So
called "club." If true the violators should be
speedily brought to justice and the proper pun
ishment be administered, not only for their
own sakes, but also as an example to others.
The public is, therefore, painfully surprised
to hear that steps are being taken to hush mat
tiers up or settle the case out of courts. In this
the public will not be satisfied nor the ends of
Justice served

/ AacHANcE FOR THE JINGoIsTs.

Doubtless some lingo will now arise to pro-
claim that Uncle Sam is getting ready to fight
Japan. That is result of the public and often
indiscreet remarks passed at congressional
committee hearings when important matters of
military policy are under discussion An in
stance of this is the question of Representative
Williams, of Illinois, in session of the house
committee on naval affairs. The Associated
Press reports him as asking Admiral Fletcher
if he thought the United States could resist an
attack on the part of Japan if the defense of
Hawaii and the Philippines were to be left to
the feet, operating in Hawaiian and Philippine
waters OF course Congressman Williams
meant nothing definite by his question, but the
eyer-alert jngoists will read an insinuation
into it. One such remark may undo the work
of a decade of careful diplomacy.
In view of the repeated declarations Of
friendship that Japan has made and is making
her leaders resent even an insinuation by the
United States that Nippon has any idea of
making war with Uncle Sam The freedom and
license of congressional discussion are too apt
to be misconstrued.

the members Of that organization held
last night in the parish house Of Get

interesting manner he told of how the
Hawaiian people are cooperating even
in the building of their own churches.

Sir:-Having several relations in
Germany, received the following clip
ping from German newspaper. which
| enclose, for thought it may be in
teresting for your paper and to give
our American race an idea of the
warfare in Europe This is a note
that was found in French officers
notebook who fell in the battles
around and before Paris. He was
with the 321st French reserve infan.
try regiment. 1t reads as follows:
The 17th-We came through noun
tains at Belfort and saw some of the
first helmets which were taken from
the Germans. Civilians were robbed
and plundered by French regiments
which camped here (Belforal over
which the head officer was brought
before court martial of the 60th regi-
ment French soIdiers). g..
The 19th-We crossed the Belgian
border. -.
The 31st-We enlisted as we went
along into our regiment colored men
and hunters and a few Moroccans. Ii.
ones knapsaek we found 16 ears and
another who was wounded was asked
who did that He opened his KNAPP
sack and pulled out head of a Ger
man soldier. saying that he was. the
one who did it. and he had to be over
powered to part with the head"
In France the French troops de-
stroy and plumber their own race, and
besides the horrible war the Indian
troops carry on by going over the
battle field and cutting dead soldiers
ears and heads of. wish you would
publish this little chapter. for it shows
that the Germans alone don't carry on
such uncivflized warfare. -.
