HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF
ORE BY NEVADA MINES

Ore shipments, together with lum-
ber and other commodities. to and
from the State of Nevada, have been
so heavy IN the past six weeks that
the Southern Pacific and other rail-
roads are handicapped by car
shortage. This is not alone the case
here as other railroads throughout
tho United States are troubled in a
similar manner.
Mining activities in the State have
greatly increased freight traffic. Out
going trains carry tons of ore and in
coming traffic bears mining equip
ment and supplies.
Conservative estimates are that
the district of Luning viii send out
this year over 10000 tons of low
grade copper ore. Battle Mountain
and Palisade win ship 10000 to To-
600 tons of ore. And very heavy
shipments will go from Lovelock,
Winnemucca, Beowawe, Carlin, Ell
ko, Cobre, Montello, Tonopah and
Goldheld. Reno Gazette.

TO MAKE GROUP SHIPMENT
OF HOGS IN CARLOAD LOTS

On or about July Is there will
be at least one car load of hogs
at Fallon for shipment TO San Fran
cisco market, unless a more adyan-
tageous market is secured at that
time. Several parties have express
ed their willingness to club togeth-
er in order that at least one car
load may be shipped. II more than
one carload is offered for shipment
a second or third car may be sent
out. This plan amounts to each
owner s. iDping his own hogs to
market and paying his own proper
tionate amount of freight charges.
Each persons hogs are graded and
weighed separately according to
brand and a separate check issued
to each owner by the purchaser.
One of the shippers will accompany
tho hogs. This plan of marketing
has proved very satisfactory in a
great many places throughout the
west, and there is no reason why 1t
should not solve some of the mar
keting difficulties locally

ments of hogs, shall be glad to

ATTEMPT TO WRECK THE
RENO-CARSON MOTOR

Only by the merest chance was a
probable fatal accident averted on
the Virginia & Truekee railroad last
night when the motor, which was re-
turning from Reno. where it had
taken a large delegation of Carson
people to attend the ehatauqua
exercises, crashed into tie that had
been placed across the track on the
fill just the other side of Huffaker's.
The obstruction was not noticed by
the engineer until he was nearly on
to it, and though he applied the
brakes with all force the tie was
struck, one end breaking and the
other being carried around and un-
der the trucks. bringing the car to
a halt.
While the passengers received
quite a jolt when the motor struck
the tie no harm resulted, but it was
through no fault of the miscreant
who placed the obstruction there

ing a storage of 13S,000 feet at this
writing. This is being augmented
by daily flow of 500 acre feet
from the Truckee canal and about
1900 acre feet from the Carson riy
Or. Meanwhile the discharge used
in irrigation on the project amounts
to about 1900 acre feet, leaving a
daily gain of about $500 acre feet.
At this rate of increase, should it be
maintained for the next few weeks,
the maximum will be attained some
time about the middle of July. when
the water at the face of the dam will
be in the neighborhood of 100 feet
in depth, or but few feet below the

with this in mind, there is move

dedication at Lahontan next month

WESTERN PACIFIC TO
BUILD INTO LOVELQCK

The construction of a branch line
of the Western Pacific through
Loveloek is one of the practically
assured results to follow the sale of
the road the latter part of this
month. The proposed feeder will
leave the main line of the Western
Pacific at Jungo, pass through Love
lock on its way to Fallon, and
thence into Mason valley. 1t is
claimed that this branch line will
mean much to Lovelock, as it will
give the town railroad competition,
which 1t does not now enjoy. This
competition will mean lower freight
rates and more accommodation and
consideration at the hands of the
railroads.

stamp it out, great damage to herds
will ensue.

a herd of sheep and bit quite a num-

FALLON FLOUR MILL TURNS
OUT A splendid PRODUCT
Machinery Tried Out I'm Test Run
Last Week on Wheat Grown on
the Project.

The machinery at the Fallon Flour
Mill was started last week on wheat
grown on the Truckee-Carso pro-
Ject. The run was in the nature of
a test to try out the equipment. as
there is not sufficient wheat on hand
or obtainable at this time to provide
steady run to capacity.
Beyond a few trifling adjustments
everything worked as smoothly as a
watch and splendid quality of
1our resulted, demonstrating be-
yond question that the wheat grown
in this locality will make excellent
dour when properly milled.
The Fallon mill has all of the
latest and best machinery and Man
ager Mccall states with his first
class equipment and a competent
miller in the person of Mr.. ]. w.
Bair of California he has no fear of
successful competition.
The establishment of this new in
dustry in our midst means a great
deal to the farmers of this valley
as it means a steady market for their
grain and since it is now possible to
exchange their wheat for -four they
are Independent of outside markets
A number of complimentary s.

with the Growers committee ap-
pointed at the meeting he'd several
meet tomorrow afternoon at the of
ice of Mayor E. s. Berney, chair
man of the committee. The pur-
pose of the meeting will be to or
ganize an active campaign in pro-
curing beet acreage for the season
of 1917.
Tie growers committee has spent
the last few weeks going over the
territory in company with Mr.. Han
son tie agriculturist for the Nevada
Utah Sugar Co. They report a gen
eral disposition on the part of the
farmers to assist in the rehabilita-
ton of the beet sugar industry here
to the fullest extent to which their
farms are capable under present
conditions. 1t is realized by all that
this is tie crucial year and that all
should put forth their best endeayor
WAiie considerable acreage has al
ready been signed up and tentative
promises have been made for more,
il cannot be said at this time that a
sufficient amount has been secured
to warrant the assertion that the
factory viii certainly run next seas
on. However. the eommitte is not
discouraged by any means and feel
convinced that as soon as the farm
ers of the valley come TO full real
ization of what the establishment
OF the industry in this valley means
IN the way of higher land values,
new settlers, higher prices for all
classes of farm products. they will
be willing to make the temporary
sacrifices that attach to the estab-
lishment of new enterprise in any
community.
Mr.. Nishiyama, who represents
the Japanese laborers is also in Fal-
lon and will cooperate with Agri-
culturist Hanson in contracting to
provide the necessary labor which
In previous campaigns was one of
the serious handicaps to the beet
raisers. The beet growers of next
season will be In far better position
as to handling and caring for their
crops than In the past, as in addi-
ton to having the labor problem al
ready solved, they will have the ben
eft of the advice and experience of
an agriculturist who has had years
Of experience in beet raising under
conditions practically identical with
those prevailing here.
II is to be hoped that when thor
oughly launched in the campaign
they will have the active support of
the farmers and that each one will
strain a point and plant enough
beets on their places to give eyi-
dence that they are in sympathy
with the movement and willing to
contribute to its success to the ex-
tent of their ability. even though 1t
