night between the Fallon boys and
erington's pride resulted in disaster
to the local tossers of the big wind
bag. In the first half the Fallon team
got big lead, and though the Yering-
ton boys tried their best, and made
the visitors do their very hardest
work, they were unable to hold them
down for sufficient gains to do more
than show their metal. Though de-
teated by superior weight and splen-
did playing, the home team did not
give up the struggle, and when time
was called on the last half were play
ing lust as strong as though there
was hope of winning. The score at
the close of the game was 80 to l3
IN favor of Fallon. The local team
is not satisfied. and the members be-
iieve that with some more training
and some severe practice they will be
able to take the measure of the young
men from the valley of the sugar beet
| and they intend to try. There will
be another game in the near future.
and the 1erlngton wearers of rubber
ioled shoes expect to bring back their
lost glory.
After the game those present had a
hne dance, with refreshments which
were prepared and furnished by the la
J dies of the parents-teachers' associa-
| ton Dancing continued until II
! o'clock, when the music was stopped.
It was a good time, and the losers
took their defeat like real sportsmen,
and seemed as we'll pleased as did the
winners The Fallon boys showed
terial, and made everything as pleas
ant as possible.

STATE HIGHWAY BILL

The state highway bill. concerning
which there is widespread interest
and VIII ch is recognized as one OF the
most important constructive meas
ures to come before the Legislature
has been introduced by the commit
tee on roads and highways OF the As
sembly. OF which Assemblyman Geo
X Ackerman is chairman. The bill
has been considered in committee Tor
several DAYS, and has also been sub
mitted TO a number OF legal author
ities in order to secure strict CON
formity with the constitution.
As it stands the bill creates hlgh
way department of three members
who do not receive a stated salary
their remuneration being liked at 81,
per day while i'll actual attendance
upon their official duties. The three
directors are authorized to employ .
highway engineer, whose appoint
ment must be approved by the Fed
eraI department OF good roads, AT ar
annual salary OF 5000. THIS engi-
neer is made the executive head
the department, subject to removal Dy
the highway directors.
The bill authorizes the department
to make reconnaissance OF the hieh-
ways. of Nevada. and in their discre-
ton TO declare any trunk line road
TO be State highways, which shall b
improved and maintained by the State
highway department A highway
fund is TO be created by tax OF two
mills upon the dollar, and to securt
immediate funds for the department
the legislature is asked to appropriate
the sum of Sl50,000 which is 10 bt
repaid to the treasury from the de
psrtmcnts funds as soon as they be
come available from imposition OF the
special highway tax.
From the fund so created the State
is to extend financial cooperation
sufficient to meet the Federal highway
concentrations made to the State OF

expended by the department III tn

half the cost of which construction
shall be borne by the counties II
which such highways may be located
A special provision in the bill permit
the department to educe the amorn
required from IA county hnaucially
unable to advance half the cost o
construction within its borders.
The bill does not provide Tor
bond issue. the theory of its. pro
ponents being that the two-mill tax
would be sufficient for the work that
could be accomplished within the next
two years.
The bill also empowers the depart
ment of highways. with the consent
of the prison warden, to employ pris-
oners from the state prison upon
