M'CARREN COMES OUT
STRONGLY FOR PITTMAN
Proves Party Loyalty by Offering
His Services ON the Stump in
Coming Campaign.

Following his defeat at the DEM
oeratic primaries last week for the
nomination for U. S. Senator, Hon
p. A. McCarran was interviewed by
the editor of the Carson Appeal as
to his course in the coming campaign
and to whom he made the following
statement:
Destiny has its own peculiar way
of shaping the career of men, and
all things happen for the best.
Early in life | learned the lesson
to fight hard but fair, and to break
clean. | have followed that rule in
every contest in which | was a par
ticipant.
1.-The contest between Senator
Pittman and myself for the highest
honor in the gift of the Democratic
party is over. Senator Pittman has
been endorsed by the party of which
we both are members, and | am to-
day sending him a letter of congrat-
ulation. Moreover, in that letter |
am expressing to him that which
will be my future course as regards
his candidacy. With the same de-
sire of which | was possessed for my
own success in the contest Just past,
will from this day forward to the
close of the polls in November work
for the election of Senator Pittman.
~ am today sending letters to ey-
cry man and woman in this State
who is pledged to my nomination,
asking each in my name TO join me
for the success of the Democracy and
for the reelection of Senator Pitt
man.
ITO Senator Pittman | am for
warding the following letter."
Carson City. New, Aug. 10, 1915.
Senator Key Pittman. United
States Senate Chamber. Washing
ton, d. c.
My Dear Senator: | would be
less than true to my own standard
of manhood were | to fail to ex-
press to you my sincere eongratula-
tons on the endorsement that you
ave received at the hands of the
members of our party in this State
at the primary election. That the
Democratic party is big enough and
strong enough to endure a contest
within its own ranks and come forth
strengthened as the result of the
contest is a fact that will, in my
Judgment, be made manifest by
your reelection in November next.
Whenever a party becomes so solid
flied and self-centered that it can
not endure a wholesome contest for
the honors which that party affords,
the first sign OF weakness is made
manifest. The contest between US
is over, and in my judgment you
have been strengthened thereby for
the final election.
take this means of conveying to
you an unreserved assurance of my
cooperation and support from now
until the close of the polls in No
vember, if you see fit to accept that
support, humble or Insignificant
though it may be. | assure you OF
my cooperation along all honorable
lines that will lead to your election
and to the endorsement of Mr.. Will
son and his administration. Very
respectfully yours,
p. A. M'CARRAN.

URGES FARMERS TO CONE
TO RESCUE OF FACTORY
Fred Hinze Has Not Lost Faith in
Ultimate Success of Industry
He Started Here.

Fred Hinze, who built the Fallon
sugar factory, was an arrival last
Friday and is spending q few days
in this city on business matters.
Mr. Hinze. while no longer inter-
ested financially in the sugar busi-
ness in this section, is still deeply
interested in the ultimate success of
the industry he strove so earnestly
% established here. He has never
est faith in the correctness of his
original judgment that eventually
the Truekee-Carson project would
lie a large producer of sugar, prob
ably one of the largest in the West,
and that the soil and climate we're
peculiarly adapted to the raising of
sugar beets.
That the original promoters of
the enterprise failed to realize and
profit as they deserved for their pio-
neering efforts was due to conditions
over which they had no control and
which do not exist today. Mr.
Hinze predicts for the reorganized
company, now in the hands of exper-
fenced sugar manufacturers. and
more important still, possessed of
ample capital to carry out their
Elans, a successful rehabilitation of
Ire industry that viii eventually
make of this one of the most pros
porous valleys in the West.
However, with a keen recollee-
tion Of past experiences. he would
impress upon the farmers Of the
valley, that the factory to succeed
must have the beets and that 1t is
the bounded duty of everyone to
end their assistance to get the en-
terprise moving, even though they
only break even on the first years
crop. TIE experiences of other sec
tions shoald go to prove beyond
question that in sugar beets the
farmer has a safe and sure crop
with prices unaffected by market
changes, since the prices are fixed
in advance of the planting It would
be little short of calamity should
the present owners of the factory
be discouraged by the indifference
of the people to their best interests
end be compelled to remove the fac
tory to another location.

.CETTO BROS. HAVE BATTLE
ROYAL WITH MAD COYOTE
Animal Attacks Men Viciously and
Is Driven or With Milk Buckets
As Only Weapons.

The ranch of the Getto Bros,
about a mile and half north of
Fallon was the scene last Friday
evening of an exciting battle with a
coyote. which from its actions and
feroeity, was undoubtedly affected
with rabies.
The animal appeared in the cor
raj at milking time and endeavored
to get at the calves in the pens The
two men were In the corral unarmed
save with milk buckets and attempt
ed to drive the frenzied animal away,
but were yieiously attacked and
battle royal ensued with hands and
milk buckets as the only weapons.
The animal finally gave up the con
test and started across the field of
the Williams estate westward and
was seen no more.
This experience should warn
ranchers hereabouts that gun is
now very necessary on the place, at
least during the present prevalence
of rabid coyotes. This is the near
est that the rabid animals have yet
been reported to the city. and it
should prove a warning that the
danger is ever present and that at
any time they may expect a visit
from the erazed brutes which in
their condition seem completely
changed in disposition and readily
attack a human being with feroci-
ty and fearlessness utterly foreign
to their usually cowardly habit

OF Review So far as known. no
final action has been taken on the
report on this project The report
follows.
Fallon. Nevada. July q. 1916.
Hon. Franklin X Lane,
Secretary of the Interior,
Washington, ID. {.
Sir.
In accordance with the instrnc-
tions to the Project Boards of Re-
view we herewith submit the result
Of our deliberations and findings.
The work OF the Board includes
the following;
First, a general field examination
Of the features and conditions of the
project.
Second, study of various reports
on the plans and development of the
project.
Third, testimony taken from in
terylews with water users, consider
alton of the brief submitted by Full
ton II. Sears.
Fourth, a detailed consideration
of the expenditures pertaining to the
different features Of the project in
accordance with the Instructions the
scope of which is indicated in the ac-
companying Proceedings of the
Board.
Policy of the Board.
The conditions on this project arc
probably quite different from those
existing on other projects in that the
project, one of the earliest if not the
earliest undertaken by the Reclama-
ton Service was apparently under
taken and largely constructed at a
time when many uncertainties and
special conditions existed which later
experience have proven very unfay-
orable to the development of tie
project. The total net area for which
the project was planned and in a
large part constructed was 375. 900
acres (Exibit Al. Experience has
shown that the water supply was In
adequate and that there was con-
siderable difficulty in finding a large
enough area of suitable lands. The
most reliable recent estimate of the
reclaimable land, as made by a num-
Der of the Reclamation Service En-
gineers is zoe 900 acres. and even
this area includes much unsettled
land regarding which the quality and
ultimate successful reclamation Is
doubtful. The unreliable and limited
water supply existing during the
period OF development, which has
but recently been overcome by the
completion of the Lahontan reser-
yoir, and the unfayorable land con-
ditions have produced very slow set
tlement
Because of these conditions the
following rather unusual results
have been obtained.
First--Canals and structures have
