NEXT SATURDAY WILL Be
FALLON DAY At THE RACES.
4 Special Train Has Been Provided
.
and an Attractive Speed Pro-
gram Arranged

Next Saturday has been designat-
ed by the officials of the Reno Rae
ing association as Fallon Day. An
attractive speed program has been
arranged for the day and in addi-
tion it will mark the close of the
seasons meet.
A special train will leave Fallon
for Reno at o'clock in the morning
and returning will leave Reno at
7:45, thus enabling the people OF
Fallon to spend day in the metrop-
Ills, enjoy a rafting good day S
sport and return at a seasonable
hour.
By some oversight in a general
distribution of complimentary days
to outside communities, F'allon has
been overlooked, although Carson
and Sparks came in for favorable
consideration. With a view to put
ting our city on the map as pa
tron of the sport of kings and
" It'll d lively iANO1AttAioh AAth " :
are to have some doings in that line
OURSELVES early in September. F.. J.
McDermott. Secretary Of the State
Agricultural Society and several
other live wire" citizens. have
made arrangements with lnager
Schaas and Judge Lcightc Of the
Racing Association to remedy the
oversight.
II IS to be hoped that the people
of Fallon will turn out and make
good showing on the designated
date. as a compliment to Reno, as
we will naturally expect a reciprocal
ton on the occasion of our State
Fair.
A special rate of s375 has been
made by the Southern Pacific for
the round trip. Let everybody who
can possibly do so make a special
effort to be on hand when the special
starts at 8 o'clock next Saturday.

7. & C. SECTION HAND
MEETS TERRIBLE DEATH
Ground Beneath Wheels of Train
While Asleep ON the Track Last
Sunday Night.

James F. Kelly, section hand
employed at Bango, five miles south
of Hazen was found dead three
miles south of that place last Mon
day morning. The body was lying
between the rails of the track and
had evidently been run over either
by No. "a Sunday night or by a
freight train that had preceded it
out of Hazen.
The head was crushed and the
body badly bruised and both hips
dislocated, but the limbs were in
tact A small memorandum book
containing the mans name with a
Chicago adress was the only thing
found on the body.
Kelly, with Mexican companion,
also employed on the section had
been in Hazen Sunday afternoon and
had left there about s o'clock to re-
turn to Bango on a railroad speed
er. At the coroner's inquest the
Mexican testified that Kelly had got
off the speeder when about half
way home and announced his inten-
ton of returning to Hazen. This
was the last seen of him alive.
AS both men had been drinking
heavily during the afternoon, the
presumption is that after leaving
his companion, who went on to BAN
go. Kelly went to sleep on the track
and was struck by a. train, but
whether by a freight or the passen-
ger, both south bound, could not be
determined. The train crews knew
nothing of the accident and could
throw no light on the occurrence.
A coroner's jury was empaneled
by Judge L. b. Mason and found
g verdict in accordance with the
above facts as there was nothing to
indicate foul play or that anyone
was to blame for the accident.

amply illustrated in many of the
western States and IL is difficult to
believe that the people of Churchill

to pass that would be eagerly
grasped by any one of a hundred
communities in the west were same
offer made to them as is now ours
for the acceptance.
1t should be borne in mind that
it will be the many small growers
who must make up the larger part
of the required acreage. In fact, it
is the policy of the company to dis
courage attempts to plant large
areas by owners of small farms, es-
pecially until some experience has
been obtained. The company is de
siIous of seeing the grower satisfied
and prosperous and hence prefers

crucial moment in the history Of the
project and that it behooyes each
and everyone to stand back of the
movement even at the expense of a
slight inconvenience or disarrange-
ment of plans.
If you cannot plant five acres,
then plant one acre. But by all
means plant beets next year.

PRESIDENT merrill NlDley Oh the
Nevada Utah Sugar CO. was a yisi-
tor in Fallon last Friday between
trains. He was returning to Salt
Lake from a visit TO Eastern Oregon
where the company with which he is
associated are building a couple of
large mills in the Hood river coun-
try.
He was the bearer of good news
to the people of this valley who are
endeayoring to revive the beet
sugar industry. as he announced an
Increase in .the price that would be
paid for beets at the Fallon factory
In the event that the required area
Of 1000 acres we're planted here.
The new scale will be $3.50 per ton
for beets ranging from . to Is per
cent sugar content and so per cent
purity. In addition a bonus OF 10
cents per ton will be allowed on each
one-half of one per cent sugar con
tent above Is per cent.
Past experience has demonstrated
that beets grown in this valley un-
der proper conditions will average
about TN per cent or better, max
ing the price $500 per ton. The
matter OF the haul is also provided
for, inasmueh as the contract pro
yldes that no haul shall exceed four
miles. as loading stations will be
provided at suitable points TO insure
the farmers of the minimum haul.
Asked il any arrangements had been
made with the railroad company
looking to an extension of lines to
the outlying sections that might
plant beets, Mr.. Nibley stated that
the matter had not yet been settled,
but that this need give the growers
in the more distant sections no con-
eern, as If no other means we're
available for transporting the beets
from the stations a line of trucks
would be placed in operation by the
factory.
Mr.. Nibley stated that he did not
quite understand the apathetic at
titude of the people of this valley in
falling to respond to the request for
an acreage that would warrant the
company In undertaking the expend-
iiare that would be necessary to
place the factory in running condi-
ton. The time is growing short for
the placing of orders for new and
uptodate machinery to rehabilitate
the factory and II is absolutely es-
sential IL the plant is to run next
year that contracts for the 1000
acres be signed up within the next
month.
Meanwhile the company's repre-
sentative. Mr.. Hanson, will remain
on the ground to answer all inquir-
les of prospective growers ard any
agreements he may make will be
ratified by headquarters. Mr.. Han
son is an experienced beet grower
aud his advice and counsel are at
all times TO be at the disposal OF the
patrons of the Nevada-Utah Sugar
Co. In addition the hitherto per
picking problem of field labor has
been solved by the presence here OF
Mr. Nishiyama, who is prepared to
furnish laborers in any quantity to
care for the crops after they have
reached the thinning and wedding
stage.
II would seem that the company
has now done everything that lies
in it's power TO establish the beet
sugar industry on this project. What
IL means to any community where

WHY WILSON GROWS STRONGER.
(From the New York World.)

Republican confidence in the inner.
ent stupidity of the American people
attained it's highest fulfillment in Eli
hui Roots speech in Carnegie Hall last
night. Even Mr.. Hughes has never
reached such heights of contempt for
American intelligence. Sneering at
the claim that President Wilson has
kept US out of war, Mr.. Root said:
Never since Columbus sighted
San Salvador has there been
time when it has been so easy
for America to keep out of war
by doing nothing as it has been
during the great conflict now rag
ing in the Old World.
Such statement as that takes Il
for granted not merely that the
American people are fools, but that
they are idiots. 1t assumes that they
are not only ignorant, but that their
brains are closed to all possible chan
nels of information and knowledge.
Mr.. Root might as well have told
them that there was no war in Eu-
rope, and that the reports Of a war
were the sensational inventions OF a
licentous press inspired by a ribald
Government in Washington.
Yet this is the kind of campaign
that the Republican candidates and
speakers have conducted since the
night that Mr.. Hughes delivered his
speech Of acceptance. 1t has no paral.
lei in American history. Never before
was a Presidential candidacy present
ed to the country on SO low and con-
temptible an intellectual plane.
Is it surprising that President Will
son is growing stronger. every day
and that Mr.. Hughes is growing weak
e1? How could it be otherwise? The
American people are not fools. The
Presidency of the United States is
not for sale. The millions that Wall
Street is flushing into the Republican
Golfers cannot take the place OF con-
science, courage and conviction in a
Presidential contest, and in con-
science, courage and conviction the
Hughes campaign is poorer than the
poorest and most miserable OF pau
perS. ,.s
