WATER USERS MEETING AT
COURTHOUSE LAST SATURDAY

The meeting of the water users
called for last Saturday afternoon,
as usual called out a good attendance
of those interested in the proposed
amendments to the present State Ir-
rigation District law
Ostensibly the meeting was called
to voice the objections of those op-
posed to the proposition of "surrend-
ering their rights under the laws of
the T. s. TO any State drainage
scheme There was considerable
discussion of what dangers might lie
in the organization of an irrigation
district. Fulton II. Sears was the
principal speaker in opposition to
the proposed action of the water
users OF the project as the outcome
OF previous meetings, and much of
the old argument was gone over.
As an upshet of the meeting a vote
vas taken upon the question of rati-
flying the former action of the COM
mittee and 1t was carried by a vote
of 25 to 3. This probably ends the
matter and the committee appointed
to place the matter before the legis-
lature will proceed to carry out the
instructions of the land owners of
the valley.

PROJECT MANAGER Ho0sB,-1
TRANSFERRED >T0fRzQA4
.,ders from Denver HeadqnarteEs
Meet With Disapproval of LocaI>N
Water Users and Citizens

Project Manager Frank G. Hough
received letter from Reclamation
leadauarters at Denver, Colorado, q
souple of days ago notifying him
that he had been transferred to the
Salt River project at Phoenix, Ari-
.ona. as chief clerk of that project.
The order included the statement
1 nj Mr.. Hough would be succeeded
Lore by Mr., ]. 7. Whistler, one OF
the leading engineers of the service
and who has lately been engaged In
Il survey of the Colorado river pro
jeet.
The announcement of the propos-
cd change came as an unwelcome
surprise to the people Of this COM
raunity and was received with con
siderable open resentment by the
water users of the project as well as
the citizens of Fallon. This OF
course. has no reference to the
gentleman who is slated to succeed
him, but has to do solely with the
undeniable fact that in their init
mate relations with tie reclamation
service tho settlers on tie project
rightfully believe that they should
ave teen accorded the courtesy OF
cling consulted as to their wishe
in the matter.
By the removal of Mr.. Hough
fom the scenes of his labors on ir-
ligation matters for the past ten
years 1t would seem that the service
wiz be a loser equally with the set
tiers, since II is inevitable that In his
long association with the people and
the problems confronting them he
has acquired an intimate and first
hand knowledge of matters that are
peculiar to local conditions and that
will be of little or no use TO either
himself or the government on an
other project where similar prob
lens do not exist, or where an un-
derstanding of them will have to be
acquired by painstaking effort and
study.
The community felt that 1t suffer
ed loss In the resignation of Engi-
neer d. w. Cole. but in this case II
was felt that the change involved
n promotion. They were also recon
oiled TO the change from the fact
that he was succeeded by Mr.. Hough,
who through long and intimate as
ISOLATION with him, was thoroughly
imbued with the many progressive
measures fostered and furthered by
liza superior and which subsequent
developments have demonstrated
that he was peculiarly fitted to carry
through TO & point where they are
;nout TO bear practical fruits.
For many years 1t has been real
lied that a condition of armed neu-
trality existed between the water
Users Of the project and the Reela-
nation service. Many were. and
Etill are. suspicious OF every move

Closes season--sparks Defeated

AIOScs ctdstu--DlJasfhS bCitatcd
Starting the season with an ap-
parently weak team the Churchill
County High School basket ball
boys have developed into a cham
pionship class. This fact has been
duly demonstrated in the past two
games when they handed Gardner
vile the small end of a 43 to IA
score three weeks ago and walked
away with Sparks last Saturday
night by a tally of Al to g.
The game with Sparks was hotly
contested by each team in proper
ton to their respective abilities.
The Sparks boys proved themselves
to be game fighters and did not give
up hope of a basket till the end. The
score for the first half resulted 22-
q. Scores we're made as follows:
Field goals--Young 6. West 5.
Bendle 3, Hartmann, Milton 1,
Cook 2. Free throws-West s out
of IS; Wykoff, out of 16.
A farce preliminary game proved
interesting and enjoyable. Hans
Lohse brought many applauses by
his speech and actions. A good
crowd was present to witness the
events.

enty feet above the building in the
proportion of about ten per cent OF
fresh air to ninety of reheated air.
great saving of fuel is made by
this method and an ample supply OF
fresh, clean air is provided at all
times.
After a discussion of the plans,
cost, etc, it was determined that the
building as originally planned would
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000,
which with the site. architects fees,
and incidentals would bring the re-
quired amount up to $4,000. OF
this amount $4,000 has already
been provided for by the bond issue
authorized at the election last fall.
l. II. Kent made a motion that an
additional $4,000 be provided for
by a special act of the legislature
authorizing the Board of County
Commissioners to order an addi-
tional $4,000 This motion carried
with but one or two negative votes,
those opposing it stated that they
saw no good reason for increasing
the amount beyond that asked for
by the Board of Education. After
further discussion 1t was decided to
ask for an additional $4,000 only.
The Board believe, however, that
with the premium, this will bring
the total available sum to very close
to 100000, which they feel certain
will complete the building and equip
it with everything needed for the
next five years at least.

County Dads Fix Tax Levy for COM

The Board of County Commission
ers met last Monday with full
board present.
The morning session was taken up
with the presentation of an applica.
ton of the Bell Telephone for the
privilege of extending their long
distance line into Churchill county
to connect with the local switch
board. The Bell company offered to
rebuild the present line which is
badly in need of repair and to col
lect the present equipment of the
line end deliver Il In Fallon. Their
proposal includes a sharing of all
tolls on a basis of 25 per cent to the
county, which. together with the
taxes and the cost of upkeep and
natural depreciation, the Bel peo-
pie estimate will more than compen-
safe the county for the loss of the
revenue due TO decreased sharing OF
tolls now on a $3.50 basis. The
company expressly diseiaims any
intention OF interfering in any man.
nar with the operation of the local
lines and states its willingness to
enter into contract for a period OF
year and a half to demonstrate
their confidence in the fairness OF
their offer and their intention To
give the public vastly improved
service. Attorney Chas B. Hender-
son of Elko represented the Bel
company before the Board. The
matter wes taken under advisement

WATER USERS COMMITTEE
PAY VISIT TO CAPITAL CITY
Exodus of Business Men to Carson
TO Urge Passage of Important
Local Legislation

There was quite an exodus from
Fallon yesterday of the leading citi-
zens of the county headed toward
Carson City. in the interest of yari-
Gus matters of legislation now pend
ing before the Legislature.
The primary object of the gentle
men who made the trip was the
amendments to the present State Ir-
rigation District law, making the
same applicable to government pro-
jects. These amendments have been
widely discussed and the necessity
for them threshed out in q number
of water users meetings held all ov-
er the project. For time 1t was
feared that 1t would be impossible
to reconcile the various interests and
to incorporate in single measure
scheme of organization that would
be satisfactory to all. Happily,
however. there existed a spirit con-
ciliation in the various factions that
have resulted In a compromise that
is satisfactory to practically every
one interested and the results have
been incorporated into a bill which
abs been introduced in the Assembly
by Mr.. Renfro and which II is ex-
pected will be reached on the calen-
dar today. The following gentle
men, composing the committee ap-
pointed at mass meeting to attend
the legislature and explain the
measure to the members thereof left
Fallon yesterday morning by auto.
via Lahontan.

Latin, F. NJ wightman, Thos. Doll,
]. w. Ferguson, G. Budd williams,
r G. Hough, Edgar c. Smith, Robert
Hodgen and w. A. Hardy of Fern
ley.
In addition to the irrigation
measure there number of other
bills of special interest to the people
of Churchill county. including the
State Fair bill, the special permit of
the legislature for an additional
bond issue of $4,000 for the High
School, the bill providing for the d.
vision of the Offices of Sheriff and
Assessor and Senator Keddie's un-
fair competition bill. All are mat
ters of necessary local legislation
and il is not believed that there will
be any serious opposition to any of
them. However, acting on the prin-
ciple that If you want anything very
badly, you sohuld prove your sin
cerity by going after 1t, these gentle
men have dropped their ordinary
business affairs and are devoting a
couple of days to unreauited service
to the community.
The Legislature will adjourn sine
die on March 18th and there is
vast accumulation of bills awaiting
action and in the scramble of the
expiring days 1t will be question of
the survival of the fittest-which
being interpreted means those with
the most punch behind them.
The Fallon State Fair bill has
passed the Senate without opposi-
tion and is expected to go through
the Assembly on roller bearings.
Senator Keddie's town plat bill
which was tabled in the Assembly
has been revived and amended to in
clude nothing but school property
and made special order for last
Monday.

.s35, 900 ADDITIONAL BONDS
REQUIRED FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Legislature Will BE Asked for Au-
thority to Issue Bonds to This
Amount.


Churchill County Board of Educa-
tion for a public meeting at the
courthouse last Friday, there was a
goodly attendance of representative
citizens present to inspect the plans
for the proposed new High School
Mr.. F. o. Eager representing his
Los Angeles firm of architects and
whose plans have been adopted by
the board was present to explain the
details of the new building.
II was expected that a model of
the building would be on exhibition.
but Mr.. Eager explained that 1t was
found impossible to finish it in time
for the meeting Friday. However,
1t will be completed shortly and
placed on exhibition so that all may
have an opportunity of seeing a min
iature replica of the High School as
it viii appear when finished.
Mr.. Gage was prepared with
drawings showing hte floor plans as
we'll as perspective drawings which
were explained in detail. The build
ing as proposed will occupy a ground
space of $50 by 210 feet. The de-
sign is classic in style, showing
heavy columns in front of a re-
oessed entrance. On either side are
rooms for the use of the Principal,
supplies, etc. The main building
will be two stories in height and will
be flanked on either side by class
rooms which are provided with over
head lighting.
The main or central building will
contain an auditorium capable Of
seating $50 persons. The stage is
50 arranged that by the removal of
temporary partition it may be ex-
tended to include the gymnasium
hall and thus afford stage room for
caste of so or 100 pupils. The
auditorium will be provided with a
sloping floor and around the entire
auditorium and gymnasium section
there will be a gallery, capable
OF providing seating room for a
couple of hundred more. AT the rear
of the building quarters are provid-
ed for the classes in manual training
and especially the agricultural
course. II is estimated that the
building will provide ample accom-
modations for something like 200
pupils, which. according to the esti-
mates made by Professor McKillop
based on the growth in the past will
be sufficient for the next FIVE years.
Provisions are made for future ex-
pansion by the addition of wings at
either side, that will preserve the
general architectural scheme.
The present plans have been
adopted only after the most thor
ough revision and re-revision until
every conceivable contingency has
been provided for and both the
Board and the faculty feel that moth
ing has been overlooked that it is
possible to foresee in the way of flu
ture requirements.
The heating system will be the
latest type known as the re-circulat-
ing system. After being heated the
air is not permitted to leave the
building. but is washed and reeireu-
lated until school assemblies, when
fresh air taken through a tower sew

Tho, community will also be the
loser in-thE change. He has the
esteem and confidence of the people
who last fall elected him member
of the Board of Education, in which
capacity he was largely instrumental
in securing the passage of a bond
issue to provide for the erection of a
new high school. His loss will be
keenly felt also in civic. fraternal,
religious and social circles where his
influence has been for the better
ment of all conditions that vitally af-
sect the life of the community.
When the news became noised
about there vas an immediate rush

community. He vas born and raised
in Phoenix and his mother now lives

tion as an entire stranger.
The Standard is In receipt of a
number of communications bearing
upon the transfer of Mr.. Hough.
Lack of space win ont permit of the
publication of ALL but here is typ
ical specimen
To the Editor of the Standard:
Permit me to say few words In
regard to the transfer Of our Project
Manager, which l understand had
been ordered by the Reclamation
Service
While I am not cognizant of the
motives which aetuated this order,
from my own standpoint, | can't
help but feel that It is an illsdyised
and stupid blunder at this stage of
of the development of this project.
Mr.. Hough has been with us for
practically ten years. He has grad
ually risen from the ranks through
recognition of his inherent ability.
until at the transfer of Mr.. Cole. he
was appointed Project Manager. In
this capacity, he has managed the
affairs OF the project TO the satisfac-
tion believe of 90 per cent of the
water users OF this valley, the only
eisgrnntled ones being those who
have been refused favors-personal
fayors-which were not for the gem
