FALLON SUGAR Factory
MAY OPERATE THIS YEAR

r. G. Bialy, of Bay City Mich, rep
resenting the eastern investors in the
Fallon sugar factory, has given it out
unequivocally that rhe Fallon factory
will positively operate during the pres
ent providing the farmers of
this valley subscribe to raise 1000
actual acres of beets, a further con-
tingency being imposed that Lovelock
Fernley and other Nevada valleys
must place into sugar beets another
1000 acres, making 1000 acres to be
raised within the state, while Salt
Lake county, Utan, is to be depended
upon to augment tins acreage with
from 1000 70 1900 acres of beets,
says the Standard. Mr.. Bialy AYERS
that though the time intervening be-
tween now and the farm cropping sea-
son is extremely short that a generous
cooperative spirit will bridge the diff
ficulties that might arise from this
condition and that no reason really
exists why Fallon should not again
have the pleasure of witnessing the
activity that comes from full sized
sugar making campaign, which in turn
will bring not a modicum of prosper
w TO IHe FARMERS cooperating, DuT a
generous return for their efforts, in
which the entire project win share.
To this end an urgent invitation is ex-
tended by Mr.. Bialy to every farmer
to call on him in Fallon. He asks that
they come singly, in pairs, or in
crowds, the more the better, for he
wants to talk to all of them and make
his overtures in the most business-like
and convincing manner possible attain
ing the objects sought thorough,
harmonious and workable understand
within the shortest possible pc
riod
He left yesterday fc- Reno where

WORK UNDER NEVADA
PURE FOOD LAWS

Food of all kinds consumed in Ne
vada in 1914, was up to the standard
in every respect, according to the an
nual report of the department of food
and. drugs control and weights and
measures. The report is exhaustive in
many details yet does not deal with
every investigation made by the de-
partment.
Canned goods in several instances
were condemned and ordered destroy
ed. Some storekeepcrs had certain of
their goods inspected and found OK,
the inspection in some instances be-
ing the result of complaints of short
weight. Package goods frequently
shrink in weight because of ! the hu-
midity and dryness in the state, which
cannot be blamed to the storekeeper,
says the report The milk supplied to
the people of the state has been found
TO be of good quality. This is due to
desire on the part of the dairymen
of the state to live up to the stand
ards set, and cooperation with the
dairymen has been proven to be a
boon to those who want good, pure
milk.
Restaurants in sll parts of the state
have been inspected thoroughly at reg
ular intervals and the report lists the
standings of all eating places as to
cleanliness, manner of serving and the
kinds of food served The principal
cafes of Reno have unusually higa
standings Very few samples of ice
cream on the market were found to
he below standard All samples of
butter were found excellent.
Close to 1000 analyses Of foods and
drugs were made at the University
during the year. Sevral hundred scales
were tested and corrected if neees-
sary, one or two icing condemned.
The traffic in habit-forming drugs was
one of the problems found difficult to
deal with but with the new federal
regulations, it is hoped to prevent the
sale of these drugs 70 great extent.

W. N. CONSTRUC-
TON IN STATUS QUO

Col. E. r. Place, general manager of
the Winnemucea Northern, returned to
Winnemucca Thursday afternoon, af-
ter an absence of about a month, dur
ing portion of which time he was in
consultation with railway officials in
st. Louis with reference to the con
struction of his line.
Seen by a Silver State representa-
tive this morning, at the local offices
of the company, in reply to a ques-
tion as to new developments, Col
Place replied:
1.-THE story that has been going the
rounds of the coast press for the past
two or three weeks, stating that suf-
ficient money had been. raised for the
construction of the Winnemucea
Northern, is substantially correct.
The cash is available at any time we
can make certain guarantees, which
we are not at present in position to
do.
:" As you have learned, the Western
Pacific went into the hands of receiv-
ers the first of the week, and any as
sistanee that may have been expected
from that source is, of course, held up.
To sum up, in the language of the law
yers, the construction of the Winnie
mueca Northern is in status uqo.
However, there is nothing discour
aging in the outlook and the people
of Nevada and Idaho are certain to be
well satisfied with the eventual OUT
come.n

ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM
WILLOW CREEK SECTION
Platora. New. March 5

IldJOId, NtN., ..
A mad coyote was killed at Tom
Minor s ranch here, early this morn
ing. The animal, which had severely
ibtten itself, had t.oken nearly all of
its teeth. So far no discovery has been
made of its having bitten any other
animals.
The coal mine recently discovered
by Frank Lamb, has, upon late devel-
opment, disclosed a ledge two feet IN
width. The coal, which is of hard
formation, presumably anthracite,
burns readily, with very little or no
waste. The heavy snowstorms of the
last few days have hindered further
development, and at present all work
has been suspended.
Ranchers and sheepmen of this Sec
tion have no cause for fear of dry
year, as the snow in the mountains is
deeper than it has been any winter for
the last four years, and what's more,
it's still showing.

MEN KILL
ED IN COAL Mines

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The cas-
ualty list for the army of three-quar-
ters of million men employed in
American coal mines, just made pub
lie by the United states Bureau of
Mines, shows that 2,451 men were
killed.
Comparing the deaths with the year
1913, there is decrease of 334, or
one man less killed for nearly every
day in the year.
Shocking as is the violent death
Of 2,451 men in years time by
peaceful industry said Van II. Man
ming, acting director of the bureau,
81 the men of the bureau who are en-
gagged in the campaign to reduce this
casualty list find, in comparisons with
other years, some facts that are rather
comforting and some indications that
the Improvement noted in the saving
of life will be further accentuated as
the years pass.
"In the first place, coal mining in
1914 cost the lives { f 3.3 men in every
1000 employed, while in the year 1913
the death rate was 3.73. That reduc-
tion alone means a saving of more
stThe number of miners killed for
every one million tons of coal mined
in 1914 was 4.81. In the year 1913
there were 4.89 miners killed for ev-
cry one million tons mined. With the
exception of the yeae, 1912, the 1914
rate is the lowest yet recorded for
the United States.
tThe amount of coal produced for
each miner killed in 1914 was 20s,07S
tons, which is the largest amount on
record with the exception of the year
1912.
There were BIG lives lost in disasters
in which more than five men were
killed, which is reduction of 14S
deaths when compared with the disas-
ters of 1913.
"When the Bureau of Mines began
its work, the great cause of great dis
asters in the coal mines of the United
States, was the explosion of coal dust.
This phase of the problem was taken
up more vigorously than any other
and it is indeed gratifying to the bu-
reau that the explosions from coal
dust in 1914 have decreased 96 per
cent from the previous year.
'tWhile the Bureau of Mines is lead
ing in this national movement to re-
duee the number of deaths in the
mines, it realizes fully that not much
progress could be made, were it not
for the helpful cooperation of the
miners themselves, the operators, the
state bureaus and various other agen-
cies. The improvement being made
may rightfully be credited to closer
and more careful inspection by the
state inspectors; better enforcement
of laws and regulations by the oper-
ators; a better realization of the dan
gers attendant upon the miner in his
daily work and his efforts to reduce
accidents due to the educational cam
paign conducted in his behalf; the ex-
tended use of safety lamps in doubt
full mines; the use of permissible ex-
plosives that have been passed upon
by the Bureau of Mines; the wetting
oe. dusty mines to prevent explosions
Of coal dust; the frst-aid and rescue
training which saves lives that other
wise might be lost by reason of inju-
ries received; the enactment of indus
trial accident compensation laws;
and last but not least, the fine spirit

IRRIGATION PRO-
JECT FOR WASHOE
Especial to the Silver statel


WASHINGTON, March Ga peti-
tion, signed by almost everyone of i'm
portance in Reno and vicinity. has
been sent to the Secretary of the In
terror asking for government aid in
securing water for the irrigation of
the Lemmons valley, which lies just
north of Reno and Rear the California
boundary. The name Of Governor EN-
met d. Boyle heads the list, which IN
cludes many state officials, profession
al and business men. The petition is
as follows:
Whereas, there are more than
10000 acres of the richest and most
fertile agricultural lands of the state
of Nevada, lying in Lemmons valley,
about eight miles north of Reno, in
the county of Washce; and
Whereas, surveys have heretofore
been made showing that water suffi-
cient to irrigate all of said lands can
be obtained and conducted thereto;
and
Whereas, the cultivation of said
1000 acres of land would increase the
population and promote the business
interests of Reno and vicinity and be
of inestimable benefit thereto, and
greatly add 70 the productiveness and
wealth of this state;
Now, therefore, we, the under
signed citizens of the United States
and residents of the state of Nevada,
do hereby petition and request you to
procure the assistance of the govern
ment of the United States in con-
structing the necessary reservoirs and
other works for ,mp1unding food wa
ters and conducting the same to said
lands for the purpose of irrigating the
same. And your petitioners will ever
pray"
This movement has been under way
for some time. In fact, efforts have
been made for years to secure irriga-
tion in this region, and Honey Lake,
across the boundary line in California
has been talked of for years as
source of water for irrigation.
Senators Newlands Pittman are
very greatly interested in this latest
agitation for new irrigation district
and they will do everything in their
power to cooperate with the Interior
Department. in making it a reality.
Among the last things to be done
by Congress was the confirmation by
the Senate of President Wilson'S nom
nations of George p Armand to be
postmaster at Ely in place of Quincy
W. Hull deceased, and John F. Haley
to be collector of informal revenue for
the district of Hawaii.
