RENO GRABBING
FALLON'S MONEY

With what appears to be a Just
complaint, I. H. Kent, George Sher-
man and George w. Williams, all
prominent citizens of Fallon, and
directors of the board which will
manage the approaching state fair
at Fallon, were visitors in Carson yes
terday in consultation with the state
authorities, says the Appeal.
1t will be remembered that in nam
ing Fallon as the place for holding
the state fair, the legislature appro-
priated $4,000 for the purpose of
erecting buildings, etc. This money,
however, is subject to the control
OF the state agricultural board, the
members Of which are residents of
Reno, and they, apparently without
any legal authority, have devoted a
part of 1t for the use of the race
course at Reno. Already some of 1t
has been spent, but the bills they have
contracted, amounting to $500, will
probably be turned down by the
state board Of examiners.
Messrs. Sherman, Kent and Will
liams so far have been unable to get
any funds from the agricultural
board tor the purpose for which it
was appropriated by the legislature
and they are in a quandry as to what
to do and are loath to start litiga-
,ion. The matter has been taken up
by the state officers and an effort
being made to place the money in
the hands Of those whose duty It Is
to spend it and for the purposes in.

Speaking of the camp he said:
THE new district, in my opinion. so
far as prospect showings and limited

strongest and BEST l have ever seen.
The district is an evidence of gold
deposition. 1 never was in a district
which showed so freely and so extern

not rare but a multiplied occurrence
to see miners and prospectors come
into town from their diggings with
ore and samples lousy with free

that 1t may be exhibited in several
places in our state.
MANY will see 1t in San Francisco,
but many will be unable to go there
to see it and to profit by the patriotic
sentiments the viewing OF this great
relic will arouse. The occasion of it's
exhibition in our state will be made a
great patriotic celebration. To grant
such petition will not be lending
yourselves to idle curiosity, but to the
grandest purposes the old bell can ac-
complish.
II am informed that the Southern
Pacific Railway company will, If the
bell is shipped by the route, so ar

stops may be made in Nevada. AS one
of the representatives of the people of

CREAMERY PLAN
WINS APPROVAL

Carlyle Hall, general manager OF the
new Mutual Creamery company, ar
rived in Reno yesterday from Salt
Lake City after stopping in Elko and
Lovelock. He said he had had a con-
ference with the men backing the pro-
posed new Lovelock creamery and
he thought they would decide to join
in with view to shipping their cream
to Reno until development at Love-
lock would warrant an independent
plant for manufacturing butter and
disposing of dairy and poultry pro-
ducts.
"The Mutual Creamery company is
the first large organization of its
KIND" said Mr.. Hall, and / believe
it will be highly successful because
OF the fact that 1t already has a big
market The ordinary cooperative
creamery usually fails for lack of good
markets. Farmers may either sell to
us or become stockholders-produce
and participate in dividends. The
farmers will own so per cent OF the
stock eventually."-Gazett

A TRIBUTE

n NIDO Il
Who Odd Fellowship can measure?
Thy benignant end and aim?
Who can tell what heaven-born
treasure
Lies enshrined in thy Odd name? :?
On this earth glorious mission
Thou art destined to fulfill,
Not Of pomp or vain ambition,
But of kindness and good will.
If thy sons are poor and lowly,
Or have fallen by the way,
Or with footsteps feeble, slowly.
Tread toward life's calm close of
day.
Then thy hand is ever near them,
Ever ready then to save;
And II death should overtake them
Thou wilt follow to the grave.
Then the orphan and the widow
Are not left by chance to fare,
But to guard their anxious pillow
Thou wilt watch with Jealous care.
