Entire Town Destroyed.

Avenzsano. the town from which the greater number of casualties has been reported as the result of the earthquake, lies in the province of Agula, in the Abruzzi department, 63 miles east of Rome and a short dis tance from the base of Mount Neiino It is an ancient town and had popu- lation of some 10000. One of the well preserved buildings there was the lowered castle built by Gentle Virginio Orsiao in 1490 Most of the towns in which damage has been done are situated virtually in the heart of Italy. The country in the province of Rome and the department of the Abruzzi is mostly mountain ous and thickly populated.
 Monterotondo has a population of about 5000 It was here ia 1867 that Garibaldi defeated the Papal forces.
 Tivol has a population of some 14.0O0. It lies 18 miles northeast of Rome and retains many of the an- tiquities of the old Roman days
 Pofi is a village of some 4,00O in- habitants.
 Italy in past years has had numer- ous visitations from earthquakes and suffered what probably was the greatest disaster from an earthquake that the world ever saw. This was in December. 1908, when in Sicily and Calabria 76,483 persons were killed. 95.470 injured and 1.100,00o made homeless.
 The financial loss never was accu- rately computed. but it ran into many millions of dollars.
 Up to the time of this catastrophe the earthquake at Lisbon Portugal, in 1877. which cost Go000 lives, caused the greatest number of casual ties
 Nineteen hundred and six was the worst period for seismic disturbances on record It was during this time that great disasters occurred the world over

 A month and a half later on the island of Formosa the village of Kagi and three other towns were destroyed with the loss of thousands of lives and material damage estimated at | $45.0O0.000.
 A month later Kagi was visited l with much loss of life and property | damage
 Then followed the San Francisco | disaster, in which 800 killed and | 250,O00 made homeless with a prop | erty loss of $3OO,OOOO00. A few | months later Valparaiso was de stroyed by earth shocks and a con | flagration. Two thousand inhabi- | tants were killed and a monetary | loss of $250,0o0, GOO resulted. Within four days from the first shock the region for hundreds of miles around Valparaiso was visited by 382 earth quake shocks
 In 1907 came the disaster to Kings ton Jamaica. in which over 000 were lost and $25.0O0,000 damage was done. Cartago, Costa Rica, lost 1.j00 lives in 1910 from an earthquake and in Turkey in 1912, 5000 persons per ished, while 10000 were made home less in a similar disaster.

PROF. R. h. fETTER LEAVES
FALLON FOR new FIELDS
Popular Educator Departs After Five
Years of Service With Best
Wishes of the Community.

Professor r. II. Fetter left Mon
day afternoon for California, where
he will spend couple of weeks at
the Fair, after which, unless an ex-
ceptional opportunity offers. it is his
intention to go East and complete
his degree of Phi. d. at Columbia
University, New York.
During his five years residence in
Fallon, as principal of the high
school, Prof. Fetter has witnessed
an increase of three-fold in the num-
Der of pupils attending the school
or from about twenty-five to more
than seyenty-five-and a correspond
ing increase in the teaching staff. In
the performance of his duties Prof
Fetter has made many warm friends
among pupils. teachers and patrons
of the school who will wish him well
in any field in which he decides to
ocate.
1t is largely due to the efforts of
Professor fetter that our schools
have been brought to standard that
gives them a rating among the best
in the state, and such prominent
educators as Prof. r. c. Thompson,
Superintendent of Schools Bray and
Deputy superintendent Abel speak
in the highest terms of his work of
developing the regular academic
nigh school course in Churchill
county.

IAVESTWAT|NC FEASIBILITY
OF ERECTING ALFALFA Mill
Mayor Berney and Sam Rosenberg
Planning Plant OF 20 to 30
Tons Capacity.

Mayor u. S. Berney and Sam
Rosenberg are investigating the
feasibility of erecting an alfalfa meal
mill in Fallon. They are now en-
gagged in securing data as to the cost
of machinery of different capacities,
with a view to installing a plant ca
pable of producing twenty to thirty
tons per day. The Southern Pacific
has made a special rate on shipments
to the coast where the market price
now ranges around SIC per ton. at
which price il finds q ready market.
Messrs. Berney and Rosenberg in
tend incorporating the company and
tie farmers and others in the COM
munity will be afforded an opportun-
ity of taking stock and sharing in
the profits of the enterprise.
Should their investigations dem
onstrate the practieability of the
proposition as to markets. prices.
ETC., il viii go far to n solution of
the market problem which confronts
our local farmers. As Nevada raised
alfalfa has been proven by repeated
tests to contain q much higher food
content than California or Eastern
falfa, Il would aeem that mea
manufactured here should command
premium by reason of it, higher
test. The gentlemca who have un-
dertaken the task of investigating
the possibilities in this line are cen
seryatiye and will be reasonably sure
Of their premises before asking the
public TO subscribe to the enterprise.

Rocks Impede Travel.

Attorney Sam Bedford of Reno, ae-

the well-known four and eight-mile
hats whore high cepters make the
road almost impossible for machines.
Mr.. Belford suggests that If the
road could be dragged TO remove the
ligh centers and incidentally fill NJ
some of the ruts, we could thereby
call down upon us the everlasting
blessings of those who travel the
route. This particular section has
been a nightmare TO the commission
ers of this country for many years.
AT one time over 81 5000 was spent
on this stretch with no lasting re
suits that are apparent today. Mr..
Beiford states that there is detour
around the four-mile fiat that should
be marked as an aid to travellers un
familiar with the roads. II should,
however, be explained that the de

List of Churchill County Students
Who May Now Enter Any High

The graduation exercises of the
F'allon Grammar School were held
last Thursday evening in the assem-
bly, room of the Oats Park school and
the capacity of the room was taxed
to its utmost to accommodate the
large crowd of relatives and friends
of the young people who had gath
cred to witness the exercises and
listen to the excellent program.
The room had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion in the
class colors of red and white, stream
ers of which eolors we're festooned
along the walls and suspended from
the ceiling. while the windows were
decorated with lattice work effect
in the same color scheme.
AS stated last week there was no
presentation of diplomas, for the
reason that the examination work
had not been finished but this omis-
sion did not detract from the inter
est in the occasion furnished by the
various numbers on the program
The address of the evening was
delivered by Deputy superintendent
j. f. Abel, who spoke to the sub
ject: Guard Well Your Liberty"
The idea permeating the address was
that education was one of the main
stays in safeguarding the liberties
of the people. 1t was a very inter
esting discourse and closely followed
by the audience.
After the exercises the hail was
cleared and those present INDUCED
