ENTERTAIN THEIR FRIENDS
At SOCIAL DANCING PARTY
r. L. Douglass and Reay Mackay Are
Hosts At Delightful Affair
Last Friday Evening

Reay Mackay and X. l.. Douglass
were the hosts at dancing party
given to a number of their friends
at the Oats Park assembly hall last
Friday night. The invitations to
the affair bore the announcement
that it was an Affinity Dance" and
aroused considerable speculation
among their lady friends as to the
ability of two lone men to pull
off" successfully, and without femi-
nine assistance, so complicated an
affair as a social dance with its at
tendant refreshments and novelty
features.
That the hosts rose to the oceas-
ion is the unanimous verdict of all
who partook of their hospitality
Apparently both Messrs. Douglass
and Mackay have been close stu
dents Of the gentle art and technique
of social entertainment, since how
ever critical one might be, it would
be difficult to point out even the
most trifiing oversight of anything
that would have contributed more
TO the comfort, pleasure and enter
tainment of their guests.
About midnight the dancers re-
paired to the basement where a
bountiful repast was spread for their
delectation prepared by skilled cat
erers and served by number OF
young ladies from the domestic sci
ence department of the high school.
The tables were lavishly decorated
with cut flowers and ferns.
In the interval between dances
professional entertainers from Reno
sang popular songs, an innovation
that was enthusiastically received.
The list of invited guests included
practically all who have been prom.
inent in the social life of the com.
munity and In addition we're the fol.
lowing guests from out OF town
Miss Ruth McKissick and Miss Mar.
ion Week of Reno; Miss Margaret
Clark of Oakland and Mrs. Claire

Altogether 1t was one of the mosi
delightful social events of the seas
on and reflects great credit on th'
popular hosts and will doubtless leat
to their being consulted as eminent
authorities In future social functions

rected by a future legislature.
Although the legal department of
the Reclamation service has ex-
pressed objections to the same fea-
lures of the bill, there is every reas-
on to believe that these objections
will not go to the length of refusing
to recognize the district organiza-
tion when perfected.
Having now overcome all the OBJ
stacles which have confronted them
in the past. the water users do not
propose to waste valuable time in
getting together. A meeting of all
the interests on the project is called
for next Saturday afternoon. when
the preliminary steps will be taken
for the organization of the district.
This will be by long odds the most
important gathering ever assembled
in Churchill county, marking the
dawn of a new era in project affairs
and bringing about a cooperative
spirit among the settlers that many
believed could never be successfully
brought about,
The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1917-03-28

The above rates will serve TO re-
duce the charges for those who are
economical in the use of water, but
will increase the charges for those
using excessive quantities.
The rates in force over the entire
project last year were:
Minimum charge 90c.
Quantity allowed for minimum
charge, one acre-foot per acre. For
all quantities delivered in excess of
the minimum an additional charge
of 10c per acre-foot was made.
Under these rates the average
costs to water users during 1916
we're:
Fernley and Hazen benches. :. s1,23
Remainder of project .97 u
Under the new 1917 rates these
average costs per acre would secure
the delivery of 4 34 acre-feet per
acre to bench lands and approximate
ly 21a acre-feet to valley lands.
In considering the rates necessary
to return the actual cost, as re-
quired by law, the question as to
what disposition is to be made OF
power plant revenues on the Truck
ee-Carson and other projects has
come before the Department.
Some eontended that these reve-
nues should be credited to operation
and maintenance while others claim
ed that the credit should go TO the
construction fund of each project,
A careful study of the legal phase of
this question was made and it was
determined that the law requires
these power receipts to be credited
to the construction cost of the pro-
ject where the power developed. The
Department has accordingly adopt
ed a uniform policy to this effect.
This is not understood to mean
that the gross receipts will be
credited to the construction cost, but
rather the net revenue after the cost
of operating and maintaining the
plant is deducted. On the Truckee-
Carson project, for intsance, the
plant is operated and maintained by
the lessee, but the water used to run
the plant is delivered through the
project canals, and therefore a part
of the cost of operating and main
tanning the irrigation system is
chargeable to the power plant This
power plant will thus relieve the
water users of a part of the cost of
o. and NJ. which they would other
wise have to pay.

WILL TREBLE CAPACITY OF
HAzEN SAMPL|NC WORKS
New Unit of 6OO-Ton Capacity to BE
Added to Present Plant at
Junction Town.

A 600-ton sampler will soon be
built at Hazen by the Western Ore
Purchasing company to care for the
enormous ore output of the State.
+. NJ. Manson, manager of the COM
pany, said today that plans are be-
ing considered for building the new
plant and it will probably be started
in the near future, says the Gazette.
The company is now operating a
300-ton sampler at Hazen and the
new plant will give the company a
900-ton daily capacity for handling
State ores.
The sampler will be equipped to
handle all kinds of ores and at the
present increase in the State output
it is expected that it will be running
full capacity at all times.
THE movement of ore in this
state" said Mr. Manson, 'is the
greatest it has ever been and the
coming summer promises to be the
most active in the history of Nevada
mining. Old camps, such as Cande-
laria, are turning out an enormous
volume of ore and practically every
old camp in the State is springing
into new life.
I'VE have been considering the
erection OF new sampler at Hazen
for some time and present condi-
tion justify the building of the plant.
Just when the work will be started
on it has not been definitely decided
upon, but it will probably be in the
near future"

SUpT. v. A. VAN VOORH|S
TRANSFERRED TO WYOMING
Notified by Department to be Pre-.
nared to Change Location In
Very Near Future

Apparently there Is a dearth of
good executives in the various de-
nartments of the government. Es-
necially is this noticeable in the De-
nartment of the Interior, judging
from what has taken place on the
Truckee-Carson project recently.
Following the announcement of the
nroposed transfer of Project Mana
ger +. G. Hough to other fields of
usefulness, came the order last week
transferring w A. Van Voorhis, su-
perintenednt of the Indian school
near saltwater, to the Shoshone res
eryation near Lander. Wyoming.
Mr.. Van Voorhis has been located
at his present post for something
ike nine years and has proved emf
nently satisfactory both to the gov
ernment wards in his charge and to
those with whom he has been as
soeiated in a business way with the
community at large. and should the
bTutI VI tidnsiti 80 ihiO thtAi BoAi
he and his estimable wife will be
sincerely missed.
II is understood that the transfer
is a part of the general scheme OF
promotion in the Indian service. in
so far at least as 1t carries with 1t
n advance in salary, a mitigating
circumstance that will porbably go
fsr toward reconciling Mr.. and Mrs.
van Voorhis to the change How
ever. 1t would seem that with all due
respect for the demands of the civil
service some slight concession should
be made to the personal interests and
inclinations of the individual and
that he be given some consideration
In the choice of location.
We have not been advised of the
personal choice OF Mr.. Van Yoorhis,
but feel justified In stating that, sal
aries being equal, he would prefer to
remain amid the scenes of his labors
for nearly a decade rather than
start anew in another state and un-
der entirely different conditions.
