QUESTION OF FURNISHING
PLANS STILL IN ADEYANCE
Assistant u. s. Treasurer Says Mat
ter Will Form Subject of a
Future Letter.

[. II. Kent, as president of the
Chamber of Commerce, has received
a letter from the assistant secretary
Of the treasury acknowledging the
receipt of a petition from the citi-
zens of Fallon asking for early ae-
ton in the matter of providing this
city with a public building as pro-
vided in an appropriation made at
the last session of Congress. The let
ter is in part a repetition of what
has already been published in the
matter, with the exception of the last
paragraph, which is significant as
showing the question is not yet a
closed incident. II reads as follows:
Regarding the question of your
furnishing plans. specifications. ETC.,
mentioned in your letter, this matter
will form the subject CT a separate
Communication.
Meanwhile steps have been taken
to secure plans and specifications
and if the answer is favorable to the
proposition, it Is within the bounds
of possibility that we may see work
commenced on the building this
year.

REPORTED STRIKE CAUSES
EARLY MORNING STAMPEDE
Leon Cirac Makes Discovery Near
Desert Wells That Creates
Stir.

Fallon experienced something akin
to an old-time mining stampede last
Sunday morning when several auto
mobiles loaded with would-be owners
of bonanza whizzed out of town in
the wee sma' hours just before day
break headed out saltwater way.
The melting cause of the hegira
and the broken rest was the bring
ing to town last Saturday by Leon
Cirac of healthy looking chunk of
silver-lead ore which was placed on
exhibition at Morris & Loring's drug
store, and attracted considerable at
tention, although the exact location
of the strike was not at once made
known. Later, however, il leaked
out that il was about three miles
east OF Desert Wells. II appears
that Leon Cirac had been prospect
ing in that section for some time,
being attracted by pieces of float
from which an assay of s412 had
been obtained. including $50 in gold
Since that time he has been looking
for the vein which was discovered
last week, but was kept quiet until
the discovery could be properly To-
Gated, when the word was passed
around that resulted in a number of
auto loads leaving here to make 10
cations.
Among those who got in early

Among the visitors to the strike
we're Ned Shoeraff, who is operating

yond the new strike. and his engi-
neer, r. E. Gayer, who are very fav-

AMERICAN NOTE TO GERMANY
BEING CAREFULLY PREPARED
Document VIII State Explicitly Po-
sirion of L. $. to Avoid Pro-
tracted Discussion.

Washington, June S.-President
Wilson let it be known today that
the note which the United States is
10 send to Germany with respect to
submarine warfare, had been pre-
pared with the utmost expedition
and had not been subjected to an
hours unnecessary delay since it
was drafted
The presidents desire to have the
document state explicitly the position
of the United States government SO
that It can not be misunderstood
abroad or invite protracted discus
sion on the fundamental issues in
volved, is chiefly responsible for the
fact that the note has not yet gone
forward.
Examined With Minute Care.
Legal officers of the government
examined the note with minute care
today and sent it back to the presi-
dent with some changes. 1t may re-
quire futher consideration by the
president and his cabinet tomorrow
and high officials did not know to-
night just when it would be cabled
On the highest authority, however,
it was stated that as soon as the
president regarded the communica-
ton as satisfactory in phraseology it
would be transmitted to Ambassador
Gerard.
VIII BE Unimpeachable.
Questions of such serious moment
are involved in the wording of the
new note that the president is anx-
ious that the communication not
only shall meet his own wishes, but
should be unimpeachable from the
point of view OF the experts in inter-
national law.
Reply May End War.
The most important diplomatic
paper since the war began should
reach America about June goth and
will be the German reply to the
presidents latest note. The import
ance derived from this fact is that it
viii be the first definite step, not
merely in preserving the peace OF
America, but of Germany towards
ending the war. This is the opinion
IN diplomatic circles. The lapse be-
tween the rejoinder and the German
reply is due to the fact that Meyer
Gerhard, Count Bernstorff's ennis
sary, will not reach Berlin before
the 16th. When the reply arrives
it will mark a point where diplomacy
begins to take hold and force be-
gins to let go. One diplomat is
1uoted as saying that Germany
answer means a momentous change
in the situation. Germany feels
that she has won. meaning that she
has stopped her antagonists and
demonstrating that she is uncrush-
able. The American rejoinder to
Germany has been completed and Is
being coded. Ii will probably be
forwarded tonight. The president
remains firm in his original de-
mands.

GOVERNMENT BUYS
CONTROL OF
LAKE TAHOE
MANY YEARS LITIGATION
BROUGHT TO A DECISION.
Flow of Truckee River Is Now in
Complete Charge of the
Government.

After many years of negotiations
and lawsuits since the Truckee-
Carson project was commenced the
government has at last secured pos
session of the outlet and controll-
ing works of Lake Tahoe.
The concluding chapter was the
entry of decree in the United states
District Court of California at San
Francisco whereby the United States
upon payment into the Court of the
total sum of $139, 500 becomes vest
ed with the sole and exclusive right
10 the lands, dam and controlling
works at Lake Tahoe outlet.
The new reinforced concrete dam,
with its controlling gates, which was
completed by the Power company
two years ago at cost of about
$4,000, now becomes the property
Of the United States together with
The surrounding land including
strip of land on both sides of the
Truekee River below the dam and
extending down stream to the juno
lion with lands previously pur-
chased by the government for the
control of the lake.
The court decision is the culmi-
nation of a condemnation suit insti-
tuted by the government against the
Power Company several years ago.
The result is what is called a decree
by consent In other words the en-
gineers and lawyers for the govern
ment have from time to time met in
conference with the engineers and
.awyers representing the Truckee-
River General Electric Company
and they have gone over the compli-
Gated matter of priority of water
right, the amount of water yielded
by the lake as shown by IA years
of gage records, the cost OF the land
the cost of the new dam and river
channel improvements and related
matters which have ben the subject
of dispute. Having reached decis-
ION on these various points OF con-
lroversy the result is made binding
by action of the court.
By the decree the prior right of
the Power Company to the use of
water stored in the lake is deter
mined and a method of regulating
the lake has been prescribed by the
court for protecting this water right
of the Power Company. On the 9TH
sr hand the property rights of the
United States in the lake are de-
Ined as including all remaining
rights in the lake to which the
Power Company was unable to es-
tablish a claim.
Since the consent of both parties
was condition precedent to this
form of settlement it is apparent
that the possession and regulation
Of the lake will hereafter be carried
on in a peaceable manner for the
mutual benefit of the Truckee-Car-
son project and OF the chain of power
plants which furnish the modern ne
cessity of electric current to the var
ious mining districts and municipal
titles of which the City of Reno is the
center.
The infowing streams promise to
ill the lake this season nearly to
high water level 50 that there is
every indication that sufficient
water will be available for all par
ties which are dependent upon this
source Of supply.

POPULAR YOUNG LADY OF
FALLON Welded At CARSON
Miss Georgia Edith Sherman, Daugh-
ter of Ex-Mayor, Bride of
Mr.. John Newman.

Last Saturdays Carson Appeal has
the following of interest to Fallon-
ties:
June weddings in Carson have be-
gun auspiciously and from present
indications there are going to be a
number before the month is ended.
The last two to join the ranks of
the newly weds were Miss Georgia
Sherman and John Newman, who
last night quietly slipped away, OBJ
tanned a license and securing the
services of Rev. w. II. ID. Hornaday,
the words were pronounced that
made them one.
The young bride has been resi-
dent of Carson about months and is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Sherman of Fallon. She was en-
ployed as a committee clerk during
the late legislature and at the con-
clusion of the session accepted a po-
sition with the law firm of Platt &
Sanford as a stenographer. Mr..
Newman is a Carson raised boy and
for many months past has held re-
sponsible position at the Arlington
hotel. In their new venture the
young couple are assured of the
best wishes of large circle of
friends.
The above comes as a genuine
surprise to the many friends of the
bride in this section, where she has
long been a favorite among the
younger social set. Even the par
ents were not apprised of the immi-
nence of the event until within a
few hoIrs of the rprpmony when
their consent and blessing was
asked and granted over the tele-
phone. Mrs. Newman will start her
welded life with the best wishes of
host of friends in Fallon.
