YOUNG NAN IS BADLY
CORED BY SAVAGE BULL
Bert Grinnell Has Two Ribs Crushed
and Arm Fractured By Frenxied
Brute Last Wednesday.

Bert Grinnell, son of A. e. Grin
nell, in Sheckler district was gored
by savage bull last Wednesday and
suffered the fracture of two ribs on
the right side and fracture of the
left elbow.
The animal is a young Holstein
and has hitherto shown no signs of
i'll temper. When young Grinnell
entered the corral the bull became
restless and showed a disposition to
attack him, Grinnell attempted to
to drive him away, and kicked
him in the nose, practice
that had heretofore been found eff
ficacious in subduing a disposition to
become too familiar. However, on
this occasion the animal charged and
Grinnell ran backward kicking at the
animal until he brought up against
a cottonwood tree used as a post and
to which the wire fence six feet in
height was attached.
TIC Was VI uoucu up against tbe
tree and two ribs crushed in. In
some unexplained manner he con-
trived to extricate himself. probably
while the animal retired for another
charge, and when he came to him
self was lying on the safe side of the
fence. Whether he had been tossed
there by the animal or managed to
climb the fence in his crippled con-
dition he is unable to state. His
cries attracted the attention of the
family at the house and the father
rushed to the scene with pitchfork,
but too late to be of any assistance.
DR.. Lehners was called and found
the young man badly crushed and
for a time II was believed he had
suffered internal injuries that must
certainly prove fatal However, it Is
now believed that the danger is con-
fined to the possibility of pneumonia
attacking the injured lung and that
barring this contingency complete
recovery should not be long delayed

old lORCAMARSlNO RANCH
UNDERGOING IMPROVEMENTS

Z. p. osgood ran up last week to
the old Lorgamarsino ranch in the
Truckee-Carson at the mouth of the
canyon that runs back UP to Virginia
City. The place was recently taken
ever by Carl J. Lockwood who con-
templates putting the farm In first
class condition with a Holt outfit
consisting of a caterpillar tractor,
five gang disc plow and steel scrap
er.. NJ. P. Hayes, at one time an
engineer on this project, is laying
out the work, and at his suggestion
the owner called in Mr.. 'Osgood to
consult as 20 best layout of the
ranch for high production and eco
nomic handling of the water and
the farm operations. Though the
farm is considerably cut up 1t is
splendid land and only a fair amount
of regarding will be required to
eventually consolidate many small
lands into some large. well controll-
ed fields.

SUGAR FACTORY OFFICIALS
ARE ARRIVING IN FALLON
New Arrivals Are Finding Great
Difficulty in Securing Suit
able Residences.

Things at the Sugar Factory will
shortly begin to hum. Last week
Messrs. Gardner and ingalls,, gener-
al superintendent of the Utah-Idaho
factories and consulting engineer,
respectively, arrived in Fallon and
are making a general survey of the
factory for the purpose Of determin-
ing what will be necessary In the
way of improvements, enlargements
and repairs to place the factory In
shape for handling the large crop of
beets that will be delivered this fall.
Mr.. Rockey shas been appointed
superintendent of the local factory
and arrived last Wednesday. He is
looking for quarters for his family
who will follow as soon as he can
find suitable location.
j. w. Stoker, accountant, is also
in here and is likewise seeking ac-
commodations for his family. who
will arrive shortly. A. +. Cutter,
has been appointed cashier and ar
rived yesterday, bringing his house
hold furniture with him, but has so
far been unable to find a residence.
These gentlemen are but the
forerunners of many to follow and
the question of housing the large in
flux of permanent additions to our
population has already become a
serious problem. There is urgent
need for many more residence prop
critics In Fallon and 1t would seem
that in view of the certain increase
of very desirable tenants our local
capitalists should arise to the situ-
alton and begin building as soon as
weather conditions will permit

GOVERNOR BOYLE SHOULD
APPOINT |. L. kent

Under the provisions of the new
Highway bill recently passed by the
legislature, designed to enable Ne
vada to take advantage of the fed
eral appropriation of sf.000,000 for
] ighways. the Governor is empower
ei to appoint three members of a
State Highway Commission.
Churchill county, as containing
one of the longest stretches of the
Lincoln Highway, which is included
in the general scheme, would great
y appreciate the appointment of
Mr.. I. II. Kent to place on this
foard. Mr.. Kent is probably as con-
ersant with road conditions In the
wcstern section of the State as any
man who could be chosen. In addi-
ton he is what is denominated a
crank" on the road question and
as probably spent more of his pri-
vate money and certainly as much
tine and postage as any citizen of
the State in the furtherance of the
Good Roads" movement.
Governor Boyle can make no mis-
take in naming Mr.. Kent for a place
on the Board.

,hlLL 0ffN new QUARTERS
KlK RECEPTION AND DANCE
Farmers Union VIII Entertain Pub
lie on Occasion of Occupying
New Location.

The Farmers Union is making
rapid progress in remodeling the
leased quarters in the Plummer
building and the General Manager
promises TO have them ready for
business on April End.
An announcement that will be of
pleasing interest to the people of the
valley is, that on Saturday evening
March 81, the doors of the new
quarters will be thrown open and
reception will be rendered to the
general public A varied program is
now being arranged under the di-
rection of committees selected with
the end in view of making the even
ing one of pleasure for all. The
program will consist of music both
vocal and instrumental, and there
will be brief speeches by representa-
tives of the different walks of life.
Following this feature of the
evening entertainment which will
include the time from 1880 until 10
o o'clock, the floor will be in the pos
session of those wishing to indulge
in the pleasure of dancing until the
hour of midnight, when the doors
will be closed, to reopen again
Monday, April 2, prepared to do bus
mess in the various departments.
One of the features of the even
ing will be a cooking demonstration
where will be shown the product of
our own valley.
The General Manager wishes II
understood that on Saturday, the
evening of the reception, no goods
will be sold, neither will any orders
be received as 1t is the intention
solely to fittingly celebrate this the
first step IN the development of the
plans of the management for the
care of their future business,

in San Francisco where he will pur-
chase fittings and show cases, and
also a line of hardware and q full

.FA[LON IS SELECTED AS
LOCATION FOR STATE FAIR


The State Fair will be held in
Fallon for the years 1918. The
sum of $4,000 to be expended In
the two years was appropriated by
the provisions of the bill introduced
nv Senator Keddie. $4,000 of which
IS to be used each year in the pay
r,ent of premiums and $4,000 to be
expended in the construction of
buildings for the proper housing and
display of the various exhibits.
The bill went through the Senate
without dissenting vote. but ran
I'D against some opposition in the
Assembly. where Assemblyman Rem
fro fought manfully. and as IL
proved, successfully all attempts to
remove the fair to Reno and to Ell
ko as we'll as to cut down the APP
preparation. Heidtmann of Washoe
recently introduced an identical bill
providing for the holding of the
Fair at Reno, and on final passage
Oh the ditun biii attehipttu W
amend by inserting the name Reno
In lieu of Fallon. This was voted
down and the Elko delegation sim
ilarly attempted to substitute Elko
for Fallon. This amendment met a
like fate. The final result was that
Tallon received every vote in the
Assembly except the delegation of
four from Elko county. who went
down with flags flying for a lost
cause
Now that the matter Is finally
settled as TO the location OF the Fair
for the ensuing two years 1t is to
be hoped that way may be found
by which at least working major
ity OF the Board OF Control may be
appointed by the Governor from
Churchill county. The heaviest
handicap experienced by those hav-
ing the affair In charge for the past
two years lay in the fact that all
the members of the Board were non
residents of this county and hence
had no special interest In the con-
duct of the Fair.

RECLAMATION OFFICIALS WILL
OPPOSE ORGANIZATION PLAN
Action Construed as Breach of Faith
BY Both Homesteaders and
Vested Right Owners

Advices have been received at the
Project Office to the effect that af-
ter carefully examing the irrigation
district bill now pending in the
Legislature the Reclamation, SO far
as the Truckee- Carson project in
terests are concerned, does not fav-
or the provision which relates to the
method of voting Indebtedness.
The bill referred to is the one on
which the water users committee ex-
pended so much study and thought
in consultation with Judge L. N.
French of Reno, and Mr.. B. e.
Stoutemyer, District Counsel of the
Reclamation Service.
There was wide difference of
opinion among members of the COM
mittee respecting the method of vot-
ing. Some favored one vote for each
landowner while others insisted up
on a vote for each acre of land. Fin
ally compromise was reached and
incorporated In the bill as follows:
ANY peroson, male or female. of
the age of twenty-one years or over,
whether a resident of the district or
not, who is a bona flde holder Of
title or evidence of title as defined
in section | hereof, to land situated
in the district shall be entitled to
vote at any election held under the
provisions of this act, but at any
election upon the question of pro-
posed bond issue contract with the
United States or any election to au-
thorize Indebtedness, each qualified
voter shall be entitled to cast one
vote for each dollar, or major frac-
ton thereof of benefits under the
proposed contract or bond Issue as
herein required to be made. filed and
published prior to the election, and
at any such election a member OF the
election board shall indorse on the
ballot of each elector the number of
votes to which he is entitled, and his
ballot shall be counted as the num-
Der of votes so indorsed thereon"
When a copy of the proposed new
Nevada law was submitted to the
Reclamation Commission at WASH
ington exception was taken to this
voting method because II departs
from established policies in other
states under whose laws irrigation
districts In Reclamation projects are
organized, which provide for per-
sonal vote of landowners in the dis
trict, instead of an assessment or
acreage basis.

Looking back over the past nine
ty days and what has occurred on
the Truckee- Carson project, we have
the following facts; Presumably at
the instigation and with full knowl-
edge, and consent of the legal de-
partment of the reclamation service
at Washington, Project Manager
Hough, with District Counsel Stoute-
myer have held meetings in every
schoolhouse on the project in an en-
deayor to arouse sufficient interest
among the water users to create a
sentiment that would result in the
formation of an effective water
users association that would act un-
der the State irrigation district law.
With that end in view and to recon-
cile the different interests of vested
right owners and homesteaders q
committee was appointed which
worked faithfully for nearly thirty
days before a compromise bill was
satisfactory.
In the final settlement of the
question through the efforts of Hon.
I. n. French, representing the water
users and Attorney Stoutemyer OF
the Reclamation Service amend
ments were agreed upon that were
acceptable in every way, both to the
service as represented and to the
water users.
Now, tc the surprise of the inter-
ested parties on this project and at
time when II is impossible to make
any change as only one day remains
In which the legislature is In session,
we are informed that the legal de-
partment at Washington refuse to
be bound by the agreement, but vio-
lently oppose the passage of the
measure. BY this action they have

and oft-expressed desire to deal
fairly with them.
Notwithstanding this announce

with the organization of a district
upon the lines agreed upon.
