fire IN A WAREHOUSE,
CALLS OUT DEPARTMENT

The fire department was called out
last Wednesday evening about 5
o o'clock to respond to an alarm in
district No. 1. Smoke was seen is
suing from the roof of Grob & Bing-
hams warehouse just north of Will
liams Avenue, near the railroad Y.
The fire originated from coal oil
stove that was burning to raise the
temperature of the room where
were stored a quantity of vegetables.
1t is presumed that the lamp had
been turned too high and exhausted
the oxygen in the small room where
it was confined causing it to form a
gas which ignited and set fire to the
straw above the low ceiling. When
discovered the fire was confined to
sparks and embers and was quickly
put out by the use of the chemical.
The damage will probably amount
to about $40 or $40, being principal
ly due to smoke and water.

Prize WINNING TURKEY
TO HEAD MORRISS FLOCK

Mrs. c. w. Morriss received yester-
day by Wells-Fargo express a mag
nificent Mammoth Bronze tom tur-
key, which will head her flock next
season. The bird is a prize winner
at both the Sacramento and Oakland
Poultry shows and is splendid spec
linen. He was hatched last May and
weighs 80 pounds at the present
time. Mrs. Morriss paid a fancy
price for this select specimen, but is
convinced that she has the worth of
her money. In view of the promi-
nence given to Fallon bred turkeys
in the markets of the Coast, it
stands our local raisers in hand to
procure none but the finest stock for
breeding purposes. 1t pays in the
long run.

GOES TO SAN FRANCISCO
FOR SURGICAL TREATMENT

Walter Ferguson, the 17-year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Ferguson
departed last Monday for San Fran
cisco where he will enter Lanes hos
pital for a course of surgical treat
ment. About year ago the young
man fractured his shoulder in an ath-
letlc contest, but was unaware of it
at the time. The bone knitted, but
broke down recently and affected the
nerves of his arm and will require
mechanical treatment to effect a
cure. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Ferguson and they expect to be alb
sent for three weeks or month.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
CONSIDERS FUEL SHORTAGE
Dealers Instructed to Secure Supply
at Any Cost and are Exonerated of
Charge of Extortion

The Fallon Chamber of Commerce
held a meeting at the City Hall last
Monday evening for the purpose of
considering the present shortage of
fuel and to devise ways and means
of relieving the situation if possible.
Representatives of the various
coal dealers were present and gave
information that so far as at pres
ent known there was not pound of
coal enroute to this city and they
were unable to state when their
orders which have remained untitled
for weeks past would receive atten-
ton. Each of the coal dealers stat
ed that 1t was possible to secure coal
provided they were willing to stand
a substantial advance In the price at
which they have hitherto contracted
with the mines. 1t developed that
certain middlemen or brokers at
Ogden were in a position to furnish
a limited amount to sections that
we're in actual want.
Heretofore they have been unwill-
ing to stand the responsibility for
advancing the price in the face of the
present shortage, fearing that such
action on their part would be mis-
construed by the consumers as con-
stituting "hold-up."
When the situation was explained
the Chamber of Commerce instruct
ed Mr.. Benadum to order four cars
for immediate delivery at the ad-
vaneed price and took upon itself the
task of assuring the public that the
supply would be furnished at the
lowest possible price to all. Under
this agreement Messrs. Benadum,
Kent, Likes and the Verdi Lumber
Co. will each receive a carload if it
is possible to secure it by any means.
Mr.. Benadum yesterday received
telegram from Ogden that an en-
deayor would be made to forward a
car of nut coal today, to be followed
a day or two later by car of lump,
and that the situation here would
be relieved as rapidly as possible.

Senator Keddie received seven
votes against five for Senator Chaplin
