George Mills, Cage Tender for the
Company Suffers Instant Death
From Falling Steel.

George Mills, mine worker in
charge of the Nevada Wonder mine
cage was instantly killed last Fri
day while ascending in the cage.
A load of drills was being carried
to the surface and In some way a
part of the steel fouled the cage,
causing 1t to pile up in the shaft.

out instantly.
Deceased was 35 years of age and
unmarried. He had been a resi-

months. The remains were brought
to Fallon by auto yesterday morning
in the Geo. Coffrin machine and
were embalmed by Black & Kaiser
and shipped on the afternoon train
to Sacramento for burial.

fortunate affair exculpates the Ne

FOR new RECLAMATION LAWS

of the reclamation commission, will
be read with interest by this pap

In accordance with the policy OF
the secretary OF the interior to in
every practicable way assist the set
tiers on the u. S. reclamation pro-
jects, bill embodying an extended
period during which to make water
right payments and providing 9th
er relief asked for by the settlers is
being formulated under the direct
ion of the department officials and
will be introduced in congress as
early as it is practicable.
While this is doubtless good news
for the water users, you will, | am
sure, agree with me that to do good
1t is not only unnecessary but un-
wise to wait for the enactment of
new legislation. Better market fa-
cilities. better farmir & end harmon

tural communities undor any laws

any time.

ton with the farmer on the part of
tho entire reclamation service organ

ted the secretary of the chamber of
commerce for a map of the Fallon
streets that will be used by motorists
passing through town via the Lin
coin trail. An effort is now being
made to comply with the request in
order that the Lincoln highway map
now being prepared shall show the
proper streets in Fallon for desig-
nation as part of the route.
About half a dozen requests have
been received by the secretary rela-
tiv to the opportunity here for a

LAND TO Be OPENED IN MAY /
Reclamation Officials Consent
To Land Opening In May
And Prepare

That the -Carcon project
Will be opened for settlement some
time in May was made manifest at
a meeting OF tho Churchill County
Chamber of Commerce held last
saturday evening at which both
Project Engineer ID. w. Cole and
his immediate superior, Supervising
Engineer Il. G. Hopson, were pres
mt. Originally planning to re-op-
en- the project to settlement some
time next September, these officials
aequieseed to the proposal to hasten
the opening date and declared Ii to
be their intention, upon the repre-
sentation made by the local business
interests, to set the time forward to
May: The interim, they explained,
would be required by their subordi-
mates in the preparation of farm un-
1t plats, and the subsequent neees-
sary approval to these forms by the
department at Washington Mr..
Hopson confessed that the session
of the commercial body had proven
a revelation to him, making him ac-
quaint with local conditions, as typ
fled by the Fallon business man.
The urgency of an early project op-
ening was driven home by the busl-
ness men present who explained the
economic value each new and old
settler in this project represents to
the community as a whole. And
the projects need Of new settlers is
no greater, 1t was explained, than
is the settlers early immigration
hither that he may get some of the
fruyits of his toll within the year.

Woodliff Jr., r. r. Ham. B. c. Ar
cher. G. s. spreyer. Sam Rosenberg,
J. l.. Heady, e. P. Osgood and othgs
espoused the local viewpoints by in
,eresting remarks. Project Eng
ineer d. w. Cole explained the phys
ical conditions of the project, aver
ring that they will fully justify the
May date for project opening, while
Mr.. Hopson affirmed this conclusion,
but exonerated the action of the wa
ter users at their meeting last fall
when they declared against the pro-
posal. They had just passed
through he hardship of water
shortage. he said. and naturally ex-
ira irrigation demands assumed the
status to them, of bugaboo.
At no time within 15 years, Mr..
Cole said, have the months of May
and June failed to provide run-off
from the Carson watershed that,
stored, would be sufficient for pro-
Iect needs and now that the Lahon-
tan structure has reached the stage
in its completion that will allow the
storing of about $4,000 acre feet, II
would seem that the further guard
inc of the water supply was uncalled
for.
With the idea in mind of seeur-
ing the consent of the project wa
ter users TO the May date for project
opening, a meeting has been called
for next Saturday afternoon at two
o'clock, at the court house. when
II is hoped that large representa-
tion of the water users will be pres
ent.

Inc enactment into law Of the

Industrial and financial field Of all
'Aases ior unrest and there should

Senator Newlands left Washington
shortly after the holiday adjourn-
nent. He arrived here unannounced
and took quarters at the Palace ho-

Public sentiment has arisen to the
support Of two measures, which Sem

One is his bill providing for an

FALLON BEST FEEDING pom
Leading Stockman Claims y
lon Has More Feeding Virtua
Than Amy Point


lished dhe following:
Having invested $4,000 IN =
yards at Fallon, u. NJ. Slater, prs
don't of the Nevada Packing ~
pany, is this year ondeavorirg to .
full measure of profit out OF the 9
penditure by carefully experim#
ing in the feeding Of cattle y
sheep. As a result of his cffon
his stock is probably consuming y
hay than any other in the state p
ie being rapidly fattened cheat
tan any other, in ell probability
Cuts feeding costs.
Mr.. Slater is fattening stock a
Fallon at a cost of about 10 cenki
steer day. Hay feeding catl
131h to IA cents day and g7Il
feeding runs the cost up rapidly q
practieed elsewhere.
Ten to 10 pounds of chopped cay
day is the amount fed to the caiila
at Fallon. The principal consit-
uent of the rations aside from the
hay is wet beet pulp from the sugar
factory, supplemented by molaael
and in some cases grain. With
sheep only one pound of hay DAY
is fed, the remainder of the ration
being one pound of molasses, hall I
pound of rolled barley and ten
pounds of beet pulp. With thil
ration the sheep require no water
whatever.
Mules as locomotives.
One of the most striking things
about the Fallon feed yard is the
economy in time and labor effected
by the use of small narrow guage
tracks in transporting feed. Carr
holding flye-ton loads are hauled on
these tracks by single mule, and
three mules do all the work Of
transporting feed from morning IN
til night There are two and one
half miles of this track.
Mr.. Slater considers the feeding
of beet pulp at Fallon an unqualified
success and says he wishes the out
put could be multiplied many times
in order that he might increase the
herds on feed near the factory.
All feed weighed.
Seven hundred head of cattle on
feed at Fallon are divided into eight
carefully weighed feed lots. All
feed used is carefully weighed. One
lot of steers is receiving pulp. hay
molasses and barley. another lot Is
getting so pounds of pulp l5~spas

IS PERJURY A CRIME?

Just before the execution of the
gInmen in New York bunch of re.
markable testimony was brought
forward, designed to raise doubt OF
their guilt and get them commuta-
tion and new trials. The governor
refused to interfere.
Now two Of the men who made
afidavits in that interesting cause
have confessed that they perjured
themselves, and the district attorney
expects to find the people who paid
them to do it.
Is perjury regarded as a serious
crime in this country? 1t is notori-
ously and persistently committed in
courts. No offense is much COM
moner; yet it is the most rarely
punished.
Procuring perjury, as has been
done by the wholesale from the be-
ginning of this New York gamblers
police scandal, is an even worse
crime than perjury itself. 1t is high
lime that some indictments, convic-
tions, and heavy penalties were meted
out to these poisoners of the foun-
tain of Justice.

We cannot afford to do anything
that will narrow the horizon Of our

truer meaning and idea Of their

help them to find greater dignity
and beauty In the word 'love."
Help them to understand that love
is more than a physiological fact,
that 1t glorifies the whole life,
transforms the nature, enlarges the
mightiest inspirations. Help them
to realize that IL they fall below
their best. IL they attempt to snatch
pleasure from the lower. rather than

Help these young people to under

Here. then, is this notable book.
this wonderful body of literature. the

There is only one answer neCes-

life lying behind this vast and eter-

the long divine movement OF God In
