Commissioner BENADUh
TAKEN TO RENO HOSPITAL
X-ray Photo Taken and Develops
Presence of Blood Clot in
Vein of Wrist.

Commissioner C. L. Benadum was
taken to Reno Sunday by DR.. Fer
rell for the purpose of having an
X-ray photo taken of his wrist.
Since the amputation of the ends of
his third and fourth fingers couple
of weeks ago, Mr.. Benadum has
been suffering intense pain that was
at first thought to be due to rheu-
matte condition aggravated by the
amputation. The X-ray, however,
showed a thrombus or blood elot in
the vein of the wrist. This is very
painful condition and requires time
and complete rest in order for the
clot to absorb or break down.
Mr.. Benadum insisted on attend
ing the meeting of the commission
ers last Saturday and in attending
to his private business, thus aggra-
waiting the condition. Hence DR.
Ferrell has advised that he remain
in the hospital for a few days away
from business worries. Mrs. Bena-
dunn accompanied him to Reno and
will remain with him during his en-
forced confinement.
reception of the visitors at Fallon
and the serving of supper, pos
sibly at the pavilion or out of doors
if the weather is favorable.
No definite arrangements for this
local reception have been perfected
and it is now suggested that the

committee to take up details of ar
rangements and provide for furnish

party from Lahontan to Fallon and
also for serving the luncheon at
Lahontan or the supper at Fallon or
both if desired
Our local view of this matter
should be that this presents an op-
portunity for great benefits to the
project. This committee of Con-
gress should not be allowed TO go
out of here without a favorable i'm
preston. All expenditures of gov
ernment funds on this and all other
reclamation projects pass through
the hands of these men. They should
be given some assurances that it is
worth while to spend government
money in the West and particularly

While of course we should call their
attention to the difficulties and pri-
vations encountered by our people
in reclaiming these desert lands, yet
we should not dwell too much on
this side of the matter but should
also be active in pointing out to
these men that after the money
spent, the efforts made and priva-
tions endured, the results to indi-
viduals and the general public ben
eft are fully compensative of all
sacrifices. They should leave here
with the net impression that this
is a community of hope and eoun-
try of homes which it is we'll worth
while to foster and protect
No time should be lost now in
making the necessary arrangements
and the project manager invites
early action by local committees
looking to the simple and suitable
entertainment of our coming guests.
We should have automobile ac-
commodation for the thirty guests
accompanied by at least one local
man in each car. This would mean
about dozen volunteer cars with
seating capacity of four persons each
to be ready for the afternoon SER
vice starting from Lahontan at l D.

The few men remaining at La.
