OUR SUGAR OUTPUT UNSOLD
OF the $4,000 Bags Manufac-
tured In 1918, $4,000 Bags
Remain Unsold Now.

OF the $4,000 sacks of sugar man
ufactured by the Fallon factory as a
result of its 1913 campaign, 1900
remain unsold. Twelve thousand
sacks of sugar marketed during the
past year is not feat that will re-
fiect any great amount of credit on
Nevada. despite the slogan Use Nc
vada Products" Apparently, the
states tradespeople yell this laud-
able statement from the housetops
and inconsistency practice another
doctrine.
This paper is informed that over
lures have been made to every deal
er of consequence in the state for
the sale of Fallon sugar at reduced
price over the outside product, yet
the effort to sell our product has
been of slight avail There is some
thing wrong somewhere when the
consumers of the great sovereign
state Of Nevada view the biggest
manufacturing enterprise within the
state with so much unconcern. This
thing of sending money to outside
points, that should be kept at home.
is altogether out of consonance with
what is best for Nevada. The state
cannot be built up by such a policy.
1t is shortsighted and unpatriotic
and as long as Nevada persists in
pursuing it it cannot have it's fullest
measure of prosperity.
In the meantime the Republicans
/ who do not use Nevada sugar should
continue to blame the Wilson admin
istration for the failure of the Fallon
factory to operate this year, proving
that consistency is still something
of jewel, despite the several Repub-
lican limitations, familiar to most of
us in this section.

FOR MODEL CREAMERY PLANT
Manager c. ]. Kelsey Making
Plans To Give Fallon Modern
and Sanitary Plant.

c. J. Hoifo oy. manager of the
Churchill Creamery, Inc, returned
Saturday from Reno. where he went
to discuss a combination butter and
cheese factory plan with the state
university authorities. This week
Mr. Kelsey will visit the model plant
at Minden and another at Sacrament
to. His Investigations are calcu-
lated to produce the very best there
is in modern creamery construction
and though there may be larger
plants on The coast, he is determined
that none shall be more efficient or
more sanitary than the projected To-
cal plant.
Already plans have been drawn
by the architect for the proposed
creamery building, which have been
shown the editor of this paper and
insofar as we ere judge, they pro-
vide for everything .hat is contem-
plated by modern creamery con-
struction. The proposed building
will be or the west side of Maine
street to the north of the railroad
track. 1t is expected that the work
of construction will be in progress
within the next three weeks.

PROJECT FUND TOSTANO COST
Water Userr VIII Be Expected
to Defray Cost of Truckee

The following letter from Hon.

as II Is a confirmation of the presum-
ption that this project would have
10 bear the expense of determining

rights:
Department of the Interior
washington, July 9, 1914.
Hon. Key Pittman, United States
Senate.
My dear Senator: In your letter
OF June 10 to one of the reclamation
commission you gave as your opinion
that all cost of adjudication of wat
er rights in the suit Instituted in
Nevada to determine the relative
water rights in the Truckee and
Carson rivers. should be borne by
the government. On July the
commission adopted the following
resolution:
Resolved. That 1t is the sense of
the Commission that all necessary
court costs involved in the adjudiea-
tion OF. the water rights on the
Trnckee and Carson rivers in Ne
yada, wherein the government was
instrumental in having the action
brought for the purpose of deter
mining the amount of available
water supply for the Truckee-C Car
son project. be paid out of the recla-
nation fund and charged as part of
the cost of construction, except such
cost as should properly be borne by
the State of Nevada"
In view of the foregoing recon-
mendation of the commission. !
look with favor upon the plan. The
probability of adopting same de-
pends largely upon whether the
Comptroller of the Treasury will
hold same is within my official au-
thority. Cordially yours,
tSigned) A. A. Jones,
First Assistant Secretary

NEW AUTOMOBILE ROAD.
Local Autoists Planning To Divert
Westbonnd Autos BY Way OF Car
son City to View the Beauties
of Lake Tahoe and the Placer
Vile Route.

We understand movement is on
foot among local automobile owners
to have the road between Fallon and
Carson City, by way of the Lahontan
dam and Dayton or Virginia City,
placed in first class condition for
automobile travel. The road can be
made into fine automobile thor
oughfare with very little expense,
and as there is comparatively no
heavy travel over the road it would
remain in good condition indefinite
ly..
This route would effect a saving
in distance of about so miles bet
eween Fallon and Lake Tahoe.
Carson City Is 81 miles from here
by way of Reno, while directly across
country the distance Is only so
miles. This route would enable
tourists to view the new Lahontan
dam and reservoir of the Truckee-
Carson project, a structure that has
excited nationwide interest, by reas-
on of its rugged picturesqueness and
great utilitarian qualities. 1t is
we'll worth seeing. If the plan is
carried through the matter will be
taken up with the commissioners
boards of Lyon and Ormsby coun-
ties.
The project has received an addit-
ional impetus lateyl by reason of the
fact that there seems to have devel-
oped strong feeling in certain Re-
no automobile and newspaper cir
cles in favor of the Lincoln trail as
against the recognized Lincoln High
way through Fallon, Austin, Eureka
and Ely. False reports have been
published and other misleading infor-
nation has been disseminated, calcu-
lated to convey the impression that
our roads are in bad condition and
that the sand patches and impossible
bogs of the northern route form a
highway par excellence.
