time she was wrecked off Cope Elizabeth in
1916 The sloop measures los tons, and al.
though nearly 48 years old her hull is in first

itv of about 200 600 feet of lumber Capt.

Friday morning, Jan. 18th, our citizens were
greatly shocked by hearing of the sudden and
a bsoutely unexpected decease of Capt. Fred
Park (just beyond the limits Of our town line
in Searsport) having been the evening pre-
vjous twice at our post office, and leaving for
home in apparently usual health. Mr.. and
Mrs. Park retiring in customary spirits. he
rose at twelve to replenish the fire, talking
with her for some time until she fell asleep
and heard nothing more until aroused by
fall between three and four and found him
lifeless at the bedside. Accusing a neighbor,
DR.. G, A. Stevens was hastily summoned, but
there was no appearance of life after his wife
rea ched him. His father, Capt. Joseph Park,
had died in a similar way at about the same
age and he had repeatedly said that he was
xpe citing to 60 in the same way and hoped
that he should when his time came. He was
born in that part of Searsport now called

ANOTHER PIONEER PASSES
TO THE GREAT BEYOND
James Leete, For % Years Resi-
dent of Churchill County
Passed Away Wednesday

James Leete, one of the early pio-
away last Wednesday morning.
Death was caused by pneumonia,
following a severe cold, and which
owing to his advanced years proved
beyond his powers of recuperation.
Mr.. Leete was 81 years of age and
located in Churchill county at what
was known as Ragtown, an old sta
ton on the Overland trail about
nine miles above Fallon, 22 years
ago. The ranch home has been
known as Leeteville for many years,
and was one of the best pieces of
farm land on the Carson river. Here
deceased resided with his family un-
til the death of his wife about three
years ago, since which time he has
alternated his residence with his
three children, Oswald Leete, Mrs.
Frank Oar and Mrs. T. J. Petree.
with the latter of whom he was liv-
ing at the time of his death
He was a native of the province of
Quebec and was born May z, 1890,
coming to Nevada in 1882 and set
Ting in Churchill county in 1894.
For many years James Leete was
one of the prominent citizens of the
county and took an active interest
in anything that made for the ad-
vancement of the community. He
was a man of robust constitution
and to the day of his death retained
his mental and physical vigor to a
surprising degree in one of his ad-
vanced years.
The funeral took place last Fri
day afternoon from the Baptist
Church, Rev. Or. Colby officiating
and interment was made in Fallon
cemetery in the family plot.

OFFICIALS ENDORSE ACTION
OF LOCAL consul KENT

I. Ii. Kent, Local Consul for the
Lincoln Highway Association has
just received a letter from Secretary
Bement of Detroit commencing his
activities in furthering the interests
of the Highway in this county and
especially in combating the useless
waste of energy and disorganization
of the friends of good roads in Ne
vada by holding out possibilities of
a change of the route of the Lincoln
Highway across Nevada. Secretary
Bement says in part:
IL am glad that you had this ma
terial published and distributed as
you did. | hope it will put the quiet
us on this north route agitation,
which you can imagine we are very
tired listening to by this time.
"Mr. Joy cordially approves of
what you have done, and asked me
to see that all of our directors get
a copy of your publication. Mr..
Ostermann also joins me in express
ing his thorough belief that-you have
taken the right stand in Churchill
county. We need just such enthus-
iastic backing as you are providing,
and just such public spirited sup
port as the citizens of your city are
giving the Lincoln Highway"

FARMERS UNION WILL SOON
REMOVE TO new QUARTERS
Lease Golden Block Pending the
Erection of New Building ON
North Maine st.

The Farmers Union Cooperative
Association are arranging for a lease
on the Golden block, formerly oc-
cupied by Peoples Bros. and will
shortly remove from their present
crowded quarters to the new loca-
ton.
The Association has recently been
reorganized and the growth OF their
membership and business has made
it imperative that they increase their
stock and expand in many lines.
Tentative plans include the purchase
of lot nearly opposite the court
house and the erection of a two
story brick building thereon. These
plans have advanced SO far as the
securing of the option on the loca-
ton, and a preliminary sketch of
the floor space required to house and
properly display of the various de-
partments; which will include a COM
plete line of dry goods, groceries,
hardware, farm implements and ev-
erything usually found in a first
class department store.
The new board of directors ex-
press satisfaction at the growth of
the business in the past and the very
evident support that will be accord
ed the Association as soon as 1t Is
able to meet the wants of their
stockholders and the public in gen.
eral.

VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT |
is FIGURING ON EQUIPMENT
Urgent Need May be Met by Provis-
ions of an Act Recently
Introduced at Carson

At a meeting of Fallon's volun-
teer fire department held last We'd
nesday the question of providing the
department with a motor fire truck
of some kind was discussed.
II Is generally admitted that Fal-
Ion has one of the most efficient de-
partmente of any town of its size in
the State, with an electric siren
alarm and a water pressure that in
sures an ample supply under good
head that will cope with any ordi-
nary fire that is likely to break out
in our city. The weak point in the
system is the lack of facilities for
labors. While 1t is true that the
many autos and delivery trucks of
the city have always responded
readily to every alarm and assisted
the fire fighters in quickly trans
porting their equipment TO the dan
ser point. this very willingness to
assist has frequently resulted in
more or less confusion. To this fact
is ndded that of a multiplicity of
equipment that should be included
on one vehicle, such as the chemical
and other tools necessc-y for first
use, pending the arrival of the
heavier equipment of the hose cart
and hook and. ladders.
Without a bond issue or a special
tax TO provide funds for the pur-
chase of the necessary equipment
the burden must necessarily fall up
on the people of the community in
the way of contributions, or the
raising of funds by special entertain
ments. This is slow, inequitable
and unsatisfactory method at best
and II would seem that in view of
the willingness of the humber of
enthusiastic young men who have
Joined the organization and demon
strated their unfinehing loyalty to
its purpose, that some way could be
devised for accomplishing the object
sought more rapidly and efficiently.
Happily this seems both possible
and probable through the objects of
a bill just introduced In the legisla-
ture by Griffith of Clark county
which will permit small towns TO
borrow money at per cent from
the State insurance fund for the ex-
press purpose of purchasing fire
fighting apparatus. Under present
conditions, this fund which accumu-
lates in the hands of the State Con-
troller from fees charged to insur-
anee companies for the privilege of
doing business In the State, is ap-
piled to no special purpose. Il
amounts to about $4,000 per an
mum and 1t seems peculiarly adapted
to the purpose of reducing fire risks
in the State and the consequent low
ering of premiums.
Meanwhile the Volunteer Fire De-
partment will be acting under a res
olution adopted at the meeting 1
which created a special Fire Appar-
atus Fund to which will be set apart /
at various times as may be deemed |
such funds as can be |
spared from the general fire fund.

NEW DRY GOODS STORE TO
OPEN ABOUT APRIL FOURTH
Il. W. Fisher Leases the Gardner
Block and Leaves for San Fran
cisco TO Lay In Stock

f. w. Fisher, who has been in
charge of the dry goods department
of the Gray, Reid & Co. store for
several months past, has resigned
lis position with that company and
left for San Francisco last Friday,
where he goes to lay in a complete
and up-to-date stock of dry goods,
ladies' and gents furnishings.
Mr.. Fisher has leased the Card
ner block on Maine street and ex-
poets to have his new store equipped
and fully stocked ready for the
opening of business on April 4th
next. During his residence and bus
mess experience in Fallon Mr. Fish
er has had an exceptional opportun-
ity TO study the neesd of the peo-
pie of this section and hence can be
depended up to make selections for
his new stock that will make il clean
individual and modern in every re-
spect Mr.. Fisher states that he will
so arrange his buying that hut one
article of a kind or style viii be
placed on sale thus insuring each
purchaser an exelusiyeness that has
been denied purchasers in the past.
M isher stated to a Standard
reporter that he is thoroughly i'm
pressed ith the conviction that
the outlook in this section for the
coming and future seasons is such
as to warrant him In the belief that
there is an opening here for an ex-
elusive business of the kind he in
tends to carry on.
