.FALLON'S FEDERAL BUILDING
IS INDEFINITELY POSTPONED
Secretary McAdoc Gives No Assur-
ance that Construction will Be-
gin Within Two or Three Years

So far as the Standard is aware
there was no official representative
of the City of Fallon present to in
teryiew Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo during his recent visit to
this State concerning the status of
our Compromised public building.
secretary McAdoo announced that
the purpose of his visit west was to
look into the matter of public build
ing for which appropriations had
been made. Owing to the depicted
condition of the funds available for
this purpose he stated that 1t would
oe necessary to restrict expenditures
along this line to those sections
where a grave necessity existed. As
we understand 1t. appropriations
nave been made for three public
buildings in this State. One here in
Gallon and the others at Winnie
mucea and Goldfeld.
In an instances the sites have
been selected and in the case of Fall
Ion, at least, an offer has been
made to provide the plans in order
70 expedite the work and relieve the
department of the oyerplus of work
in the architectural department of
of which complaint was made to
senator Pittman. =
However, il seems that nothing is

orable Secretary beyond the promise
chat we must abide the time with
patience until our turn is reached,
which may be extended beyond the
tenure of office of those now In con-
srol of affairs. The following from
the Winnemucca Star gives the re-
suit OF an interview with Secretary
McAdoo in regard to the promised
building at that place;
During the visit of Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo and party in
Reno last Tuesday. he was inter-
viewed by F. NJ. Lee, yice-president
of the First National Bank, and At
torney T. J. ID. Salter in regard to
the Winnemucca federal building.
Secretary McAdoo stated that
there were large number of feder-
al buildings for which appropria-
lions have been made, but they can
not all be built at once as there is
only about s7,000.000 available an
aually for this purpose. lie said
hat the construction of the Winnie
mucca building will be taken up in
its turn and that the people should
lot be impatient.
Speaking of the matter 10 rep
resentatiye OF this paper, Mr.. Lee
said that Winnemueea stands we'll up
On the list of public buildings for
which appropriations have been
made and was among the select few
for which the sites have been pur-
chased Though no definite date for
the beginning of construction of the
Winnemucca building could be OBJ
tanned, Mr.. Lee expressed the belief
that its turn would be reached in
two or three years.

HOGS NEED SHELTER ON THE
TRUCKEE-CARSON PROJECT
Animals Are Subject to Throat and
Lung Troubles When Exposed to
Acute Changes in Temperature.
lBy l.. e. Cline)

Although the climate of the
Truokee-Carson Project is exception
ally adapted to stock raising, 1t
should not be taken for granted that
all classes of live stock can be sue
cessfully handled here, throughout
the year without shelter This ap-
plies perhaps more to hogs than to
any other class of animals. Because
of the lack of hair to protect the
hogs body he suffers from intense
sunshine as well as from severe colo
weather especially stormy weather.
Since the hog does not perspire, he
has no natural means of cooling his
body in hot weather. For these
reasons the hog requires shelter III
summer and in winter.
Hogs, especially pigs, are vers
susceptible to colds in the Ee1d
sore throat, pneumonia and suel.
other ailments that result from ex
posure. to stormy weather, cod ana
damp sleeping quarters and the
breathing of dust and dirt. Very
often unthrifty conditions in hog
are noticed under improper housing
conditions. This lack of thrift is
very often due to chronic catarrn.
pneumonia, sore throat, etc.
Considerable loss was experienced
last winter on the part of several
ranehers from what is commonly
called "Quinsy" or laryngitis. This
was caused by forcing the hogs to
sleep on the cold ground without
protection and by allowing them TO
breathe manure-laden dust, and per-
hitting pigs to pile up during cold
nights thereby getting too warm,
and subsequently coming out In the
frosty morning for feed. Throat
trouble in littlag pigs is also often
brought on by allowing them to get
taeir heads and throats wet In the
watering places when the weather Is
very cold. The conditions above
described very often result in severe
attacks OF inflamed and swollen ton
sils, pharynx and larynx, these org
ans being very closely associated
These eonditins invariably cause
dlaieuIt breathing and swallowing.
Very often unless the animals are
given very prompt attention the,
die of suffoeation. In milder cases
the animals refuse to eat because OF
difficulty in swallowing Adequate
shelter free from draughts, damp.
ness and dust is the best solution
for these troubles. Many pigs and
larger hogs died during the lasl
winter from the ailments described
before any relief could be given
them.
The affected animals may seem to
recover from their difficult breathing
and swallowing during the warm
part of the day and the owner is led
to believe that the animal is on the
road to recovery, and gives no treat
ment or change In housing condi-
tions. Usually the low temperature
OF the following morning has aggra-
waited the case sufficiently to cause
the larynx to swell shut and the
animal dies of suffocation or is
found in very distressed condition.
Prompt attention Is very essential.
Otherwise unexpected and sudden
losses may result.

WILL ASK COMMISSIONERS
TO AID IN ROAD SURVEY

During the recent visit OF H. C.
Osterman, consul at large for the
Lincoln Highway association, the
suggestion was made that the SER
the purpose of securing necessary
data to be used in estimating the
character and cost of improving the
Highway in Churchill county. Act
ing upon this suggestion, l. II. Kent,
local consul, addressed a letter to
Governor Boyle in which he outlined
the subjects discussed with Mr.. Os-
terman and asked the Governor
what provisions could be made to
this end. The Governor, in his re-
ply, stated that there were no funds
available in the State treasury for
the payment of the expenses of an
engineer from the State Engineers
Office, but that it might be arranged,
provided the commissioners of this
county could be prevailed upon TO
contribute share of the expenses
necessarily involved.
1t is proposed to place the matter
before the board at their next meet
ing and as the work contemplated
is strictly in line with an intelligent
handling of the road problems of
this county, there is no doubt but
that our county commissioners will
join in the movement provided the
law and the state of the finances will
