STILL AN ARDENT ADVOCATE
OF AN IRRIGATION DISTRICT
Letter From +. q. Hough Calls At
tention TO Gross Neglect of Our
Opportunities

A letter recently received from
Frank G. Hough, now located at
Billings, Montana, contains the fol
lowing significant sentence:
Il surely hope that things will get
shaped up there in such a way as to
enable the valley to handle the few
handicaps that remain to block the
forward movement. The projects l
have visited in this section thus far
can't hold a candle to the Truckee-
Carson, and if the people will only
wake up they will develop one of the
finest agricultural sections in the
West from every standpoint"
Perhaps no one is better qualified
than Mr.. Hough, by reason of his
long and intimate connection with
this project, to speak authoritatively
of it's possibilities under proper con-
ditions. AS is we'll known he was an
ardent advocate of the plan to organ
ize an irrigation district here, and
possessing, as he undoubtedly did,
the confidence of the water users, his
appeal for united action, now that
he is no longer with US, should take
on an added significance and force.

CLASS ONE MEN ONLY WILL
Be CALLED FOR ARMY DUTY
Provost-Marshal Believes That Mill
tary Requirements Can BE Filled
BY Single Men

i Provost Marshal General Crowd
er, reporting to congress on the pro-
/ gress of the draft, expresses for the
/ first time a definite promise and aim
of the government not to take for
army duty any other men than those
listed in class one of the new draft
missionaries.
This classification excludes mar
ried men entirely, whose wives or
families are dependent ON them for
support, and other men with de-
pendents. General Crowder does
this on the estimate that 100000
physically fit for army duty will be
available from clas some. This num-
ber, he thinks sufficient for the pres
ent military needs of the nation, but
to assure the future supply for those
needs he recommends that men who
have become of age hereafter, shall
be added to class one as they become
available. This will insure, the gen.
eral estimates, a supply of 100000
men year.
Gen. Crowder outlines the new
policy in this language:
whether this guess 1900,
mem be justified in practice or not,
it can be announced nov IS the poll
ey and belief of this Office that in all
probability it will be possible to fill
out military needs without invading
any class more deferred than class
one; and this is the promise, the
standard, and the goal, here for the
first time announced, toward which
every administrative effort of this
Office shall be directed"
Gen. Crowder's report states that
the present military needs OF the ma
tion will be supplied by the drafted
men from classification one of the
new questionnaires, but to insure its
fgture, he makes a recommendation
that men who have become twenty
one years of age since the first draft
(June 5, 1910 should be added to
class one as they become available
from year to year. This, General
Crowder estimates, will add men at
the rate of 100000 year. 1t has
been generally assumed that this
was the policy of the war depart
ment and of congress, although no
announcement had been made here
tofore.
Gen. Crowder also recommends
another method of arriving at
states quota. Instead of using the
population as a basis he would take
the number OF men as present listed
In class one.

"HOW DRY | AM! NOBODY
KNOWS HOW DRY | AMI"
A Bone Dry" City Recalls Aphorism
Made Famous by the Governor
of North Carolina

Last Sunday a spirit of perfect
harmony pervaded Fallon.
The day dawned clear and bright
and the warm rays of the sun thai
have become familiar to us through
these many June like days perform
ed their days part in adding, If such
were possible, to the dryness of the
already parched earth. Peace brood
ed over the entire valley and with
this peace a dryness never before
known even to the "oldest inhabi-
tant" in this the principal city OF
the desert.
For, be 1t known, the saloons were
actually closed, the lid clamped
down so tight that it was not in the
power of man to pry it open, until,
like the time clock on the bank safe,
the hour of 6 a. m. Monday was
clicked off by Father Time.
Paradoxical it may seem, yet the
dryness of the earth was as moisture
compared to the dryness existing in
those places where in plain sight of
all having eyes to see were ''oodles'
of liquid under various labels and
likewise of varying possibilities.
And to the cry of the thirsty each
package seemed to say thus far
shalt thou come and no farther"
One was reminded of the prisoner
gazing through the bars of his cell
who exclaimed bars all around me
and l cannot get a drink"
This Sunday that for all time will
be memorable by reason of it being
the first day of the application of
the Sunday saloon closing ordi-
nance. brought forth many Incl
dents both grave and gay, and sad to
relate some there were who hesitat-
ed not to most awfully mar that one
of the commandments which, sever
oil thousand years ago, was engraven
on stone and which forbids the use
of "langwidge" profane.
OF philosophers there were not a
few, as several who from forgetful-
ness or from habit long formed,
wended their way to the old haunts
prepared to rest their feet upon the
friendly rail while awaiting service,
but being greeted by the death like
silence in lieu of the usual whats
yours" retired with the remark IAN
other two bits saved for war taxes"
And thus our city of Fallon mark
ing time with other cities of the ma
tion has entered its name on the
scroll listing those In sympathy with
the gospel of conservation.

EXCELLENT IVORY BY WONDER
RED CROSS CHAPTER

Chairman Geo. J. Kenny of the
local Red Cross Chapter, is In re-
ceipt of $11730 from the auxiliary
Red Cross Chapter of Wonder.
This generous sum from a small
community is proof of the splendid
spirit that exists amongst the mem
bers of that chapter who from the
first inception of the organization of
Red Cross chapters have entered in
to the various branches of the work
with a zeal and intelligence that
spoke louder than words of the
depth of their patriotism. The
membership of the Wonder chapter
is steadily increasing and the ladies
are now busily engaged at work
knitting comforts for the boys in the
camps.

CHARLES B. HENDERSON IS
APPOINTED U. S. SENATOR
One of the Best Known Lawyers in
the State to Succeed Francis
G. Newlands

Charles b. Henderson, of Elko,
was appointed United States Senator
last Friday afternoon by Governor
Boyle to succeed the late Francis G..
Newlands, who passed away on
Christmas Eve.
The appointment followed one Of
the most intense periods in the po-
litical history of the State. Cover
nor Boyle was enroute home from
Washington when the vacancy oc-
Cured and Immediately the political
prophets and wire-pullers began an
active campaign for their favorite
candidates, of whom there was no
dearth.
Governor Boyle granted an audi
ence to all to present their claims
and not until the selection was act
ually made did he give the least ink
ling of his intentions.
From the comment of the State
press and prominent men it is ap
parent that the appointment wa
unquestionably the most popular
that could have been made from the
list While there will undoubtedly
be more or less criticism, such would
ave been the case whoever was Sc
lected and 1t is safe to say that after
the first pangs of disappointment
have passed away, it will be founo
that the party will be unanimously
behind the new Senator
The appointment will hold only
until the November election, when
Senator Henderson will be compelled
to seek reelection, which he has al
ready declared his intention of do
ing.
