NEED FOR BETTER METHOD
OF HANDLING AUTO TRAFFIC
City Council Should Arrange for
Warning Signs at Street Inter-
sections and Parking

As the number of cars increases
on the streets of Fallon. the need of
a more systematized control of the
traffic is becoming apparent. AS it
is obviously impossible to employ a
traffic cop" the next best substi-
tute is what is colloquially termed a
wooden policeman. meaning a
sign post in the center of street in
tersections, bearing the instructions
TO Keep TO the Right"
Lacking such a guide. local driv-
ers have been cutting corners on
both sides of the street ad libitum
to the imminent danger of taking
out the fire plugs by the roots, to
say nothing of endangering the lives
OF those who are endeavoring to OBJ
serve the rules of the road by hug
ging their rightful side of the thor
oughfare. 1t is noticeable that Wis
iting autoists show their training
instinctively and never break the
rule of the road, either in parking
cars or making turns in the middle
of the block.
Another idea, popular in Cali
fornia towns, is the provision made
for parking cars in the center of the
street instead of at the curhs. II
would be move in the right diree-
tion for the City Council to provide
a sign post at the intersection OF
Maine and Center streets and to pass
an ordinance forbidding cars to park
at the curbs by providing a reserve
zone in the center of Maine street
with space for each car clearly
marked and running at an angle to
permit of easy entrance and exit.
By the adoption of such up-to-date
methods in handling traffic Fallon
would not only be getting in line
with the best regulated cities. but
may avoid the necessity of having
to do something of the kind under
the pressure of outraged public feel
ing after a serious accident has re-
suited from the present go-as-you-
please lack of system.

NEVADA WILSON PROPERTY
LOOKS LIKE A BIG winner
Number of Leasers Are Working and
Opening Up High Grade and
Milling Ore

1t has been several years since
this section of Nevada had real
mining boom such as now appears
probable and due to the recent gold
and silver strike made by Frank
Wilson on his property near East
gate.
Old time miners predict it will
equal if not surpass the famous
Tonopah strike and which yielded
over a hundred million dollars in
gold and silver. Competent miners
and mining engineers who have ex-
amined the property are all agreed
that it is equal to any of the big
Nevada mines at the same stage of
development.
This property was located about
three years ago by Mr. Wilson and
is therefore not exactly new dis
eovery, but it is only recently that
Mr.. Wilson uncVered ledge of
high grade ore and it Is this that
has created the present stir and
interest. A number of Fallon bust
ness men have taken over the prop
erty and organized the Nevada Will
son Mining Co., for the purpose of
developing the mine and later in
stalling mill Mr.. Fred Wightman
is president of the new company;
r. H. Depp is vice president; A. l..
Haight, secretary and c. E. Bing-
ham, treasurer.
Several leasers are already work.
ing on the property which consists
of several claims, about $50 acres
in all. The Nevada Wilson mine
has been developed by two tunnels
about 500 feet each and about ten
open cuts and shafts where the ore
shute has shown up for a distance
of 1900 feet. Mr. Geo A. Foster, a
mining engineer of twenty-five
years practical experience and G. r..
Bingham examined the mine and
thoroughly sampled same. From
one ledge Is feet wide they report
an average OF SAT a ton, gold and
silver; from picked ore from same
ledge they got $110 ton, gold and
silver; from a ledge two feet wide
an average OF $127 a ton, gold and
silver. Since Mr.. Foster examined
the mine the leasers have uncover
ed still richer ore, some of 1t run
ming high in ruby silver and free
gold. There are thousands of tons
of high grade mill ore already on
top of the ground in boulders, rang
ing in weight from a few hundred
pounds to several tons Mr.. Wilson
estimates that there is at least
100000 worth of ore already
blocked and not including the high
grade recently uncovered
There is abundance of water and
timber close at hand making the in
stallation and operation of mill
inexpensive in comparison to other
Nevada mines.
The company has issued no print
ed prospectus as the indications are
that the home folks will gladly take
all of this stock that is offered the
public.

DOES HONOR TO
THE NATAL DAY OF FRANCE
French Coiors Profnsely Displayed
and Citizens Participate In Open
Ali Exercises Sunday

Last Sunday Fallon observed the
129th anniversary of the Fall of the
Bastile. as the event is more his
torically known.
II would be more in keeping with
the truth to designate that day as
the fall of autocracy and the birth
of democracy and this seemed to be
the sentiment that pervaded our peo
pie as they contributed in various
ways to honor the National day OF
our sister republic
Indications were in evidence the
preceding day that for the first time
the world wide significance of the
day was brought home to our people
and from many flag poles the French
colors were thrown to the breeze
and even In these the red, white and
blue eolors. the kinship born in the
hour of our first struggle for free
dom, was silently voiced.
Under the able direction of the
committee In charge of the work OF
the French Relief Society. a group
OF charming young ladies was mar
shaled whose earnest efforts netted
handsome sum for tie widows
and orphans of France.
Preparations had been made for a
simple program for the erly Sun
day evening hour but the eementa
interfered to the extent only OF
postponing the exercises for briei
time.
1t occurred to many that the heav-
ems recalled in the roar of its can
nonading the rumbling in Paris on
that July day more than century
gone, when the surging of the mad
dened populace stormed the mighty
citadel and broke the fetters that had
kept In darkened dungeons for years
many liberty loving sons of France.
At shortly after 9 o'clock a large
crowd assembled in the court house
grounds where the Fallon band dis
coursed several patriotic airs among
them the Marsellaise.
Mr.. A. Charter who has been en-
gagged in organization of French Re-
lief work in this state and In CALI
fornia briefly reviewed the work OF
the society and warmly thanked the
community for its splendid response
to.the cause.
Rev NJ. w. Coates then followed
In an address that stirred his audi
ence as he recounted the struggles
of France for the establishment OF
those enduring principles that the
Allied nations OF the world are to-
day battling for.
The speaker closed his address
with an appeal to all for deeper
sacrifices in the great cause whose
end means perpetual peace and en-
iightened freedom
As the meeting adjourned the
sentiment was general that the sue
ceeding anniversaries of the birth of
freedom for France would find spon-
taneous recognition throughout this
nation.

LESLIE BRIGHAM TAKES
MESSAGE TO THE KAISER

Leslie II. Brigham of the engi-
neers department of the u S. Rec
lamation Service, left for Los Ange-
les Monday. to visit relatives in Los
Angeles for week preparatory to
entraining for Fort Riley.
On the eve of his departure his
fellow workers, or as they termed
themselves, 'The U. S. r. S. Bunch, .
presented him with a handsomely
encased Gillette razor, with the in
junction that he give the Kaiser
hell. The recipient cheerfully ac-
cepted the responsibility and the
force have full confidence in his in
tention at least.

.MAYROSE TEAM fORFEITS
SUNDAY GAME TO fALLON
Unexplained Action of Reno Club
Declining TO Meet Local Team
DisappOlnts Fans

Fallon base ball team ND its many
friends the game scheduled for last
Sunday with the Mayrose team of
Reno was called off through tele-
phone message received Sunday
morning from the manager of that
club.
1t was a most unsportsmanlike
act and the Indifference shown by
the Mayrose team for the financial
loss suffered by the local club by
reason of their unexplained conduct
would indicate that however pro-
fcient in the national game they
may be. they have yet to learn that
the most enduring scores are those
earned through treading the honor
able paths of business.
The local team had gone to con-
siderable expense in advertising the
game scheduled for last Sunday and
had aroused much interest in the
community in connection with it
among those who were desirous of
reviving this healthful pastime, and
the players had also consistently
practiced during the past two weeks
in order that they would not only do
themselves credit. but be in a posi-
tion to prove to their supporters
that they could worthily represent
them in future contests.
The national game has preserved
its prestige during the past 25 years
through the fact that it has been
kept free from Objectionable fea-.
lures that had crept into it's prior to
that period and that it's business af-
fairs under the able direction of
men prominent in the mercantile
world, have been conducted accord
ing to the strictest business codes.
II the young men in charge of the
business affairs of the Mayrose club
hope for the confidence of the base
ball public they will need to con-
form more strictly to the ethics in
vogue today in the base ball world.
and more scrupulously regard their
contracts with other clubs and their
obligations to the patrons of the
game many of whom forego other
plans that they may be present at
the game.
Under the rules the Sunday sched-
uled game is forfeited to the Fallon
team by score of 8 to 0. thus leav-
ing the standing of the clubs tie or.
games won.
The following letter would seem
to offer sufficient assurance of a
game between the two clubs.
