NO BOOZE7 TAKE A SERUM !

There is never a calamity so dire
that its impending cloud does not
have fringe of silver about its
lining; no disaster so profound d as
to blast the hope that springs eter-
nal. The darkest hour is the har-
binger of dawn; and the day which
altcrnates with night carries the
promise of that perfect day which
shall know no night.
These reflections, wrung from the
shredded soul of an optimism that
refuses utterly to be downcast, are
volunteered for the cheer Of a COM
munty which today confronts the
grave possibility that it will pres
emily become the unprotected victim
of all reptilian attack; which reads
in the daily Congressional Record
the threat that its supply of essen
tial remedies for snake bite is short
ly to be taken from it. This town is
liable to go dry ere long. 1t must
cast about for new prsventives. The
need is pressing; and 10! the prom
Use comes from no. less authority
than the snakeologist Of the New
York Zoo, that the need will be met.
1t is Dr. Ritol Brazil who rises to
our emergency: who holds forth the
promise that he will take care of
us in case Sheppard shall deprive US
of our long accepted and firmly-re-
lied-upon preventives. 1t happens
thus:
Recently a big rattlesnake in the
zoo stung a keeper, whose life was
saved only by most desperate means
DR.. Brazil had produced "A rattle.
snake serum designed to neutralize
the effects of that reptiles bite, and
the serum saved the luckless keeper
Now, convinced by this demonstra
tion that his discovery is the rea
thing, DR.. Brazil is going to Texas
the headquarters Of the rattlesnake
industry, to get a supply OF snakes
and make a sufficient quantity OF
his serum to insure protection fol
all. He expects to turn out a sort Of
compound serum that will be proof
against all the reptilian poisons com
mon to America; one little dose vii
do the business.
All power and success to the goot
Dr. Brazil. He understands ou
needs, he comes in the hour Of ou
great want. We will yet have th'
laugh on Sheppard. Every citizel
of the District will require merel,
to equip himself with phial of tn
Brazil anti-snake dope, and, if prohi
bition shall at length be discovere,
here in the act Of prohibiting, he will
take an occasional microscopic swi,
at the serum and feel all the sensa
tons that might ensue from indul
gence in the standardized proven
tives for such cases heretofore mad
and prescribed. Get in your orde
early for the serum!

FALLON ELECTRIC RAILROAD
REFLECTS old OFFICIALS
Prospects Bright for "a Completion
of the Road Next Year and Open
ing up of Vast Territory

The fallon Electric Railroad COM
pany held its annual stockholders
and directors meeting last Thursday.
The old board of directors were re-
elected, consisting of C. A. Hascan,
president; II. c. Latin, vice presi-
dent; A. &. Wilson, secretary; <.
S. Berney treasurer and manager;
A. Bauman, director.
Manager e. S. Berney reported
that the grading for the road was
practically completed as far as Sand
Point, a distance of about twenty
five miles from Fallon. The work
includes bridges and culyerts over
the water courses and the grade is
now in condition to receive ties and
rails. The Southern Pacific has
built a switch about quarter OF a
mile east of the to connect with
the Fallon Electric .ompany's line
and provide for the transfer of
freight. Arrangements have been
made with the Southern Pacific for
the lease, with an option to pur-
chase, of rails for the entire track
age of the company. Tentative ne
gotiations have been entered into for
the purchase of ties pending the
placing of the bond isgaa that is
now being financed in tt East.
Experts who have inquired into
the possibilities OF the road are
agreed that sufficient tonnage is al
ready in sight and awaiting the
completion of the road to insure the
placing of the road on a paying bas-
is the first season of operation. A
big rich country to the south and
southeast of Fallon only awaits the
advent of cheaper and more rapid
transportation for its development.
AT the terminus of the persent road
bed millions of tons of salt practical
ly pure is awaiting facilities for
transportation. The camps of Won
der and Fairview and innumerable
undeveloped prospects are also
Handicapped by high freight rates
from shipping quantities of ore that
cannot now be marketed. To these
possibilities must be added the i'm
mense undeveloped resources of
lone. Lodi and lower Reese River
valleys These districts are now be-
ing served. in part through Austin,
but by the completion of the Fallon
Electric they will be placed nearer
In touch with the outside, both in
point of distance and in time by
routing their supplies via Fallon.
At this time there seems every
reason to believe that the bond is
sue will be fioated and that the
company will be in a financial posi-
tion, with the opening of Spring, TO
carry on the work of finishing the
road.

ARE ASKED TO
HELP REPAIR COUNTY ROAD

a subscription paper is being cir
culated among the business men for
contributions to be used in repairing
the county road from the city limits
to the white bridge south of town
as soon as the snow has cleared
away sufficiently to permit of teams
working. The fund being raised is
TO be used in co-operat:on with the
county commissioners in an attempt
to get the road in shape during the
winter season, when experience has
demonstrated that with proper treat
ment a good surface can be secured
that is impossible when the roads
are dry and dusty. While IL is re-
grettable that our business men
should be called upon to contribute
directly to the road fund, there
seems no other way in which the
much needed work can be performed
at this time.

SCHUBERT SYMPHONY CLUB
GIVE DELIGTFUL RECITAL

A capacity house greeted the
Schubert Symphony Club at the
Temple Theatre last Saturday night
on the occasion of the recital given
by the talented trio under the aus
pices of the Fallon High School.
For two hours the artists held
the audience entranced by a varied
program of song and instrumental
music and the company proved
themselves equally proficient in
each Leeta Lynn Corder, the So
prano, has been called the "Ameri-
can Tetrazzini," by competent musi-
cal critics and all those who heard
her marvellous notes Saturday even
ing will agree that she has been
we'll named The young lady has a
voice of wonderful range, fexibility
and purity. In the lower tones ii is
deep and rich and in the higher
notes possesses a bird-like quality
that cannot be described.
Unfortunately, Layinia Zendt, the
contralto of the trio, was suffering
from a severe cold and was compell-
ed to omit her solos from the pro-
gram. However she assisted in the
trios and presided at the piano in
all the numbers.
Mr.. Purcell proved himself mas
ter Of the violin and equally profic-
lent on the mandolin and his selec-
tions were enthusiastically received
by his hearers. Altogether it was
one of the most delightful evenings
enjoyed by a Fallon audience since
the last visit of the Club to this
city and their return for a future
engagement is sincerely wished for
by all who have had the pleasure of
listening to them.
Incidentally the Fallol High
school netted a neat sum as a re-
suit of their good fortune in secur-
ing the presence here of the Schu-
bert Symphony Club.

WILL SEEK APPROPRIATION
FOR CARSON VALLEY WORK

Although very little has been pub
lished recently relative to the pro-
posed government reclamation
scheme for Carson Valley, the work
to that commendable end is going
along quietly. says the Courier.
Within short time a bill will be
introduced in Congress for a sub
stantial appropriatioa TO carry on
the proposed work and it is hoped
that Congress will not be too en-
crossed with the preparedness move
ment to give earnest thought to
those things which so vitally con-
Germ the upbuilding of this country.
At the time that W. are preparing
to repulse the attack of an imagi-
nary foe, we must also be preparing
ways for those of this country to
make living and at the same time
develop the great resources, such as
enlarging our agricultural interests
through the aid of storage irrigation.
The Carson Valley project eonsti-
tutes a very small parr of this great
and commendable undertaking. but
at the same time it is one of the cogs
in the great wheel o. agricultural
progress of these United States

LINCOLN HIGHWAY ROUTE
SHORTENED BY 4S MILES
Great Victory For Ely District is
Announced by OlIicials of Coast
tO~Coast Association.

The most important move as to
the route of the Lincoln Highway
in Utah was made yesterday, ac-
cording to a telegram to the News
from G. s. Hoag.
II. B. Joy, President; A. F. Be-
ment Secretary; Il. Z. Ostermann,
Field Secretary and G.. S. Hoag,
State Consul for Nevada met at the
Newhouse hotel in Salt Lake Friday
night by appointment. Yesterday
they proceeded to Tooele, where a
meeting was had with the CONNER
cial Club, the county commissioner
prominent business men of the town,
an engineer and eastern newspaper
and magazine representatives.
Announcement was made that the
Lincoln Highway Association was
prepared to build concrete roads
across the mud flats between Gran
ite Mountain and Redding Springs
and over Johnson's Pass.
Naturally this announcement was
received with great enthusiasm by
the residents of Tooele county. The
proposed improvements will result
in a road forty-eight miles shorter
than the present route to Ibapah
and forty miles shorter than any
other route now under way.
The party left Tooele this morn
ing accompanied by officials of the
City and County to arrange the pre-
liminaries aud take the final steps
toward the construction of the road
The great importance OF this step
to the Ely district will Immediately
be seen, and our local booster G. S.
Hoag is entitled to great credit for
his energy and finally winning out
against all opposition in the best
possible road for the Lincoln High
way through here. This shortening
of the route cannot fall to attract
many tourists and by reason of our
excellent position here, being the
absolute gateway into southern Cali
fornia, where ninety per cent 0 the
travel from now on will be going,
the benefit to this district will be
considerable. With a fine concrete
road over Johnson's Pass. and the
same across the mud fats on either
side of which comfortable concrete
rest houses will be erected. the trip
into and through MeGill, Ely and
the mines will be a great pleasure.
On the east side of the mud fats
there is an excellent spring about a
mile and a half from the road, from
which water will be piped to the
rest station and then after flying
over the eighteen mi,c5 OF concrete
across the hitherto feared mud fiat
at as high speed as one cares TO
drive his, cur. another rest station
will be found where there is an
abundance of beautiful spring water
The route as now assured through
here cannot fail to send every tour
list on to California with nothing but
praise for the trip through this sec
ton White Pine News.

Just when Mr.. Likes will assume
charge of the Office has not yet been
announced as there remains the for
mality of providing the necessary
bond before his commission is is
sued. However, these are matters
of detail that will probably require
but a few days and the transfer of
the Office to the new Nasty" will
probably take place within the next
fortnight.
The appointment of Mr. Likes
viii meet with general satisfact
in Fallon and Churchill county,
where his residence for the better
part of twenty-five years has gained
him the acquaintance and esteem of
practically every man, woman and
child in the county.
Mr.. Likes is an expert accountant
and this fact coupled with his wide
acquaintance and genial personality
give assurance that the affairs OF
the Fallon postoffice will be conduct
ed in a manner alike creditable to
the community and satisfactory to
the department.

CITY CLERK REAVIS RESIGNS
TO ENGAGE In BUSINESS

w. H. Reavis, who for several
years past has been the efficient and
obliging Clerk of the City of Fallon,
has announced that his resignation
will be handed to the City Council
at the next meeting to take effect
on March 1st. Mr.. Reayis will on
that date open a gents furnishings
store in the room adjoining the
Churchill County Bank, formerly
occupied by the Standard, and he
left for San Francisco last Thursday
afternoon on vacation during
which time he will select his stock
of goods.
Mr.. Reavis is an experienced
clothier and his long residence in
Fallon have made him acquainted
with the needs of Fallon in this
particular line and it is safe to pre-
dict that his selections will meet the
requir ments and be up to date in
every particular. His place of busi-
ness will be known as "The Tog-
gery," and it is Mr.. Reavis' inten-
ton to carry everything in the line
of gents furnishings.
During his years of service at the
City Hall Mr.. Reavis has been
thrown in contact with the public
and has so conducter himself in the
discharge of his duties as to win the
regard of a large circle of friends
which will prove an asset in his
new line of endeavor
There are several applicants for
the position to be made vacant by
the resignation of Mr.. Reavis, but
so far. Mayor Berney, who has the
appointiye power, has not signified
his choice, which will probably be
announced at the next meeting OF
the Council.
