FALLON PROMOTERS MAKE
: REFUND TO SUBSCRIBERS
Perhaps the First Instance in Nevada
Where Subscriptions Have Been
Voluntarily Returned

The general opinion of the aver
age promoter is that he keeps his
conscience in cold storage and the
Standard is glad to know that does
not apply to at least one group of
Fallon promoters. The names of
these gentlemen are Fred c. Sander,
Marie Woodson, e. N. Richardson
and r. E. Bray. organizers and pro-
moters of the Nevada Phosphate
Syndicate.
This organization was formed for
the purpose of selling pre-organiza-
tion shares to secure money to de-
velop a deposit of phosphate in the
lower Humboldt Valley and leased
from Walter Schmitt. a veteran pros
pector who discovered the deposit
many years ago. The surface show
ings of the deposit were good and
upon the Judgment of competent
mining engineers the men named
above felt that they had a good
thing and that they were justied in
going to their friends with it and
give them an opportunity to come
in on the ground floor. This they
did and within two weeks sold a lit
tie over $4,000 worth of the pre-org-
anization shares.
They Immediately set miners at
work ON the deposit doing develop
ment work. AS the work progressed
and lower depths attained the values
failed to make a satisfactory show
ing. They then prepared a state
ment and mailed to their partners
advising them of the facts and stat
ing they did not feel it would be
| fair to them to go ahead expending
any more of their money in develop
ing this field, at least without talk
ing it over with them.
The original promoters expect to
go ahead and more thoroughly test
this deposit but will do so at their
own expense, and the money sent in
for the REORGANIZATION shares will
be promptly returned to all inves-
tors who ask for it,
The action of these men shows
that they acted in good faith. None
of them have received dollars ben
eft from the proposition; ON the
other hand, all of them have spent
considerable of their own money be-
sides donating their time.
These are the same men who have
undertaken to finance and develop
the Dixie Valley potash find discov-
cred by Mr.. Marie Woodson and if
they handle this in the same fair and
square manner in which they have so
far handled the phosphate PROPOSE
tion they deserve all success. At all
events investors will have the salts
faction of knowing that they will
get a run for their money" to use
the parlance of the race track.

Dixie VALLEY POTASH BEDS
SHOW GRATIFYING ANAL USES
Returns from Samples Indisputably
Establish Presence of Potash
Over Wide Area

The citizens of Fallon who have
invested in the Dixie Valley Potash
proposition are patting themselves
on the back over. the prospect of
quick and rich returns upon their
investments. The company has just
received a report on two or more
samples sent to Smith, Emery & Co,
the San Francisco chemists and
chemical engineers. One of these
samples shows 3.04 per cent of W20
end the other 2.69 per cent, the
former from the claim of Sander
and Yordi and the latter from the
claim of Geo. A. Foster This"
said Mr.. Woodson, one of the pro-
moters of the company, Indicates
clearly that the deposit covers a
vide area
More samples, taken from various
claims and at different depths. will
be analyZed at once. The company
will begin active operations at once
Two wagon loads of materials and
lumber started for the field Monday.

rushed. Arrangements have been
made for a drill and II is expected
to have same in operation by the
latter part of next week.
Mr.. Woodson and the men as
sociated with him are enthusiastic
over the unusual surface showing.
The great Searles Lake in California
shows a smaller surface percentage
than the Dixie Valley lake, yet one
company operating at Searles Lake
made a net profit of s133.000 dur
ing the month of October alone. The
Dixie Valley lake is larger than the
Searles lake, and the Potash seems
to be very widely distributed over it,
Fallon is the natural gateway to
the Dixie Valley and the develop
ment of a great potash industry
there would mean much to the pros
perity and success of the town aud
county.

MISS MARTIN A CANDIDATE
FOR U. S. SENAT0RSHIP
Consideration Accorded a Man
Under Similar Circumstances

The Standard is in receipt of the
following telegram from Washing
ton, d. c., formally announcing the
candidacy of Miss Anne Martin for
U. S. Senator from Nevada to fill the
unexpired term of the late Senator
Newlands. Miss Martin has not stat
ed her political affiliations, but it is
fair to presume that. following the
bent of her activities in the last cam
paign. she will contest with Hon. e.
E. Roberts for the Republican nomi-
nation at the primaries:
Here is Miss Martins telegram.
Editor Standard: l am announc-
ing my candidacy for election to
United States Senate from Nevada,
and am sure that the Nevada press
will give me the same fairness ae-
corded man under similar circum-
stances. Candidates should be judg-
ed on qualifieations-not sex. l ask
to be judged on my legislative rec
ord in organizing the campaign
which amended the Nevada constitu-
tion for suffrage and my work for
amendment of the National consti-
tuition now almost accomplished.
l pledge myself to do my utmost
in advancing the industrial and eco
nomie life of Nevada and the Nation
at this crucial time in our history,
when success in the war depends up
on effective organizing of State and
National resources.

PROPOSAL MADE TO UTILIZE
ABANDONED HIGH SCHOOL
Suggestion Made 10 Convert Building
Into "a Courthouse and Dispose of
Present Building and Site

Now that the pupils of the high
school are safely and comfortably
CHARTERED in the new $4,000 mod
ern building, the question naturally
made of the old high school build
ing, admittedly a substantial and pre-
sentable structure, although too
small for the purposes for which it
was originally intended.
Since its abandonment by the
high school considerable discussion
has arisen of putting it to some prae-
tical use and the suggestion has
been put forth that it be converted
into courthouse, which can be done
at comparatively modest expense.
1t has long been realized that the
present courthouse is both antiquat-
ed and actually unsafe as a deposi-
tory for invaluable county records,
being a wooden structure with no
dreDroof vaults. Every county of
fetal is cramped for quarters and the
furniture and equipment, If such it
may be politely designated belongs
10 a period which has long been out
grown and should be relegated to
the junk pile.
Viewed dspassionately there
seems no good reason why the pres
ent courthouse should not be abanz
doned and removed to the od high
school building. which is sufficiently
large and capable of alteration to ac-
commodate all the county Offices, in
Guiding the court room and judges
chambers. Being a brick building
the county records would be much
safer and permanent and convenient
vaults could be built where now ii is
impracticable.
Sooner or later the county must
face the necessity for a new court
house. which means another bond is
sue. Ordinary business judgment
should convince the taxpayer that it
would be better to stave off such a
contingency for the immediate fu-
ture and a building already at hand
utilized at least until such time as
the financial condition of the COM
munity would warrant a greater ex-
penditure for this purpose than is
now possible.
The remodeling to suit the new
requirements. as we'll as the furn-
ishings could probably be more than
met by the sale of the present court
house and site, which, owing to its
location one one of the best corners
IA the city should bring a good price
It is generally understood that
when the old high school building
was built the site was donated by
Mr., John Oats, with the provision in
the deed that it should be used ex-
elusiyely for school purposes. In
view of past evidences of generosity
in civic affairs il is hardly probable
that Mr. Oats would insist on a lit
eral Interpretation of the provisions
of his gift and would be more than
willing to waive this clause in the
event that the property would still
be used for public purposes.
At any rate the proposal is one
we'll worth thinking about.

We had often heard the notes OF
this PRODUCTION incident to the BRING
ING forth of French liberty, bat gen.
orally associated it with the bloody
scenes in France during the revolt

streets upon barrel-oEgans we were
generally inclined to listen to it with
horror, imagining we saw the unfoft-
innate Louis the Sixteenth marching
to the scaffold as well as his unhappy
queen. Marie Antoinette.
But the notes which swelled forth
in church on that Sabbath morn sent
thrills through all present. 1t was
time when the allies we,'e passing

Times, however, have changed. After
months of suspense, during which the

our ministers for success to the allied
arms, the throne eternal has listenei,
and we behold, not Thor with has

BEREFr OF ALLIES


Germany may not yet be willing TO
confess before the world that 1t IS
beaten; it may not be ready to admit
to itself that its might cannot at least
keep its enemies from the frontiers,
but il cannot deny to itself or to the
world That it is now without friend

has not comrade upon whom 1t may
lean or an ally to which TO turn for

tria is appealing to the allies Tor
SEPARATE peace and Turkey has sur
rendered.
One wonders what the German peo-
ME must think of themselves, of their
military system, of their philosophy
of force and their policy OF ruthless
ness when they contemplate their
plight at this time. They cannot hold
their government alone guilty of the
crimes against civilization. which
have arrayed more than twenty ma
'tiohs against them and dissolved ev-
cry alliance which they had made.
They must know, if they are capable
of reflection, that they themselves
have stood by that government, glor-
led in its brutality as long as brutality
meant success and countcnanced ter
rorism in all it's forms as long rs VIC

shown by these events, will be reflect
ed at>the polls Tuesday. Many of the
Republicans are privately expressing
the belief that the extremely favor
able turn which the war situation has
taken will give the Democrats q de
cided advantage in the Congressional
elections.
If Germany should accept the arm
istice terms Of the Inter-Allied War
Council prior to the elections, political
students in Washington believe that
the enthusiasm which would sweep the
United States would result in nothing
short of Democratic tidal wave.
This feeling is not confined to the
Democrats, but is freely voiced by
manv Republicans. A vote of conf
dence in the Wilson policies of such
proportion as to swamp all opposition
undoubtedly would be the result Of
surrender by the Germans at this
psychological moment.
Whether or not the actual breakdown
# Germany occurs within the next
few days, the fact that she will be IS
olated at an early date by the deser-
ton of her allies, as fnreshadowed in
the dispatches, and the end of the
war brought within sight. is likely to
have practically the same political eff
feet in this country. Though the Re-
publican politicians share with Demo
Gratis the natural qualification of a
victorious ending of the war brought
near at hand, many are frankly wor-
ried about the effect on the political
situation of the latest turn ct events
in the theatre of war
The Republican leaders never have
approached an election With less conf
dencc nor the Democrats with more
than is tie case now. Reports
from all sections of the country indi-
cate that President wilson's appeal
for the return of Il Democratic Con-
rress has been favorably received and
is producing results. Even Republl,
can leaders privately concede that the
President has the confidence OF the
masses and the outcome of the cleo
tons depends on the extent to which
this confidence is shaken by the con-
certed attacks made by former Presl'
dent Roosevelt, Chairman Hays, q
the Republican National Committee
and other big guns.
