UNION STEAM LAUNDRY
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

The Union Steam Laundry, which
has been conducted in Fallon for
many years by Mr.. and Mrs. Artaxit
has changed hands having been pur-
chased by E. T. Benny of Placer
vile, Cal, and Fred p. Steinbrook,
Mr.. Benny, accompanied by his
family arrived in Fallon Sunday af-
ternoon, having made the trip from
Placerville by auto truck. Fearing
to be tied up by the threatened rail-
road strike, Mr. Benny decided to
make the trip overland, bringing his
household goods along. They left
Placerville at 4:90 Saturday morn
ing and arrived here at 1880 Sun
day afternoon. Mr. Benny said he
would have made still better time
but for he fact that he got off the
road near Fort Churchill and wand
cred over near Ramsey,
The new firm have taken charge
of the Union Laundry and will carry
on the business as heretofore and
hope to merit a continuance of the
patronage that has been accorded
their predecessor.

BEET GROWERS COMMITTEE
TURN IN A FINAL REPORT
By Dint OF Hard Work Have Secured
Contracts On a Total of
2212 Acres.

The final efforts of the Beet Grow
ers Committee, who are endeayoring
to secure additional acreage under
the modification of the original plan
whereby acceptances will be made of
one, two, and three-year contracts
yesterday turned in their final re-
port.
Despite the utmost cndeayors on
the part of the committee, who have
eft no farmer uninterviewed, they
Lave only been able to increase the
original 1884 acres signed under
four-year contracts to 22I2 acres
1t is more than probable that the
required $500 acres asked for will
1e planted, but there is decided
disinclination on the part of many
to sign for the full amount that they
expect to put in, as they prefer to
be on the safe side and sign only for
the minimum. Unfortunately the
management of the Sugar Company
are not disposed to abate their erig.
inal demand of $4,000 tons and base
their calculations on production Of
ten tons to the acre in order to Sc
cure this amount of beets. Expert
ence in the past has demonstrated
however, that under anything like
normal conditions and proper care
and cultivation the average produc-
tion per acre on the lands in this
valley is better than fourteen tons
Hence, there seems no question but
that 10000 tons of beets will be
raised on the acreage already signed,
Whether the Nevada-Utah Sugar
Co. officials can be made to take
this view of the probabilities remains
to be seen. The report went for
ward yesterday and the company S
final answer is promised by the 18th
of September.
AS an evidence of their interest
in the re-establishment of the in
dustry in the valley. the business
men of Fallon have organized them
selves into voluntary association
and will lease one hundred acres of
land and raise beets under the SUI
pervision of an experienced beet
grower.

ENJOYABLE MUSICAL RECITAL

The pupils of Mrs. Stones music
class won complete public favor at
the Temple Theatre Monday even
ing at heir initial recital which was
a decided success both as regards the
number present and the, appreciation
manifest
Great credit is due to their able
instructor who is untiring in her ef-
forts with her large class, each one
of which did her part excellently
from the tiny tots who had but six
lessons to the members of more ma
ture years. Fallon is indeed to be
congratulated on having in-its midst
so capable a person as Mrs Stone,
for the talent of the pupils was
readily noted both in the piano and
the voice culture. The program of
nineteen numbers was given with
military precision.

ing him to the care of his grand
mother who acted as a devoted fos-
ter mother until two years ago.

and the father, Robert f. Lee, strove
to fill the place of both as best he
could. Up to the time of his last
sickness father and son were in
separable and the loss will be keen
ly felt by the surviving parent.
He was a bright and interesting
little fellow and will be missed by
many who were familiar with the
facts of his orphaned condition and
the brave patience with which he
faced his Affections.

of the dairy industry in the valley.
which Is atti acting owners of famous

the display as well as add an at

est to parehts and teachers.
The racing end of the Fair will be
ably handled by men experienced in
the game. and whose reputation for
