DO THE PEOPLE OF fALLON
WANT A MODERN HOTEL /?
Opportunity Has Been Presented by
Which Much Needed Hostelry
Can Re Obtained

Do the people of Fallon want a
modern hotel?
In view of the fact that at pres
ent this city is without hostelry OF
any kind that would appeal to the
traveller accustomed to the ordinary
comforts and necessities that are u.s.
ually to be found in even third-rate
towns, it would seem that the ques-
tion would answer itself.
The Stanadrd is now in a position
to state positively that this long-fel
want can be filled. All that will be
required to obtain 1t is a modicum of
enthusiasm in the project. backed
up by a willingness to subscribe for
limited amount Of stock, to DEM
'onstrate the moral support of the
community, and faith of the citizens
in the future of their city and the
stability of the resources, both de-
veloped and undeveloped. that lie
back of it.
George Wingfield, who in the past
has proven his confidence in the fu-
ture of Fallon by heavy investments.
has given out that he is now ready
to enter into negotiations with the
people of Fallon to erect hotel of
from fifty TO sixty rooms on the va
cant lot opposite the courthouse,
provided he is assured of the moral
support of the community to be
manifested by reasonable invest
ment in the enterprise.
At present he is one of those in
terested in rebuilding the Ell Do
RADIO hotel, recently destroyed by
flre at Winnemucca. He proposes
to dismantle the famous Goldfeld
hotel and utilize vast amount of
the material thus obtained in
rebuilding and refitting the new
hostelry. AS the Winnemucca pro-
ject cannot absorb all the materials,
furnishings and fittings thus sal
vaged, he has turned to Fallon and
offers to use this excess material In
the building of hotel here, putting
it into the company to be formed at
a figure far below that at which it
could be purchased in the market.
Anyone who has ever been a guest
at the Goldfeld Hotel need not be
told that everything used was of the
best and since the hotel was scarcely
finished before the famous camp be-
gan to decline, much of 1t is practi-
cally as good as the day it was pur-
chased.
Here is an opportunity for Fallon
to secure a hotel. the lack of which
our people have been bewailing. 1t
would seem to be of sufficient impor-
tance for the business men of Fal-
Ion to call a meeting at which they
could meet Mr.. Wingfield and dis
cuss the matter.

HARRY BUSSERT PASSES
AWAY after BRIEF ILLNESS
Popular Young Business Man Sue
cumbs to Attack OF Peritonitis
Last Monday Morning

The sudden death of Harry Bus
sert, which occurred last Monday
morning, following a brief illness,
came as a shock to this community,
of which he has been a resident for
the past seven years and in which
he had surrounded himself with
host of friends who will miss his
CHEEKY smile and irrepressible hum
or.
Death was due to relapse from
an old operation for appendicitis,
the wound from which never entire
ly healed and which at frequent in
teryals would develop into an abcess.
The latest attack took the form OF
acute peritonitis and from the first
his condition was regarded by his
physician as extremely serious.
Harry Bussert was a native of
Huntington. Indiana, and was born
October 3. 1881, and was therefore
nearly 81 years of age. He is sur
vived by his wife and baby boy
son, Austin, by former marriage.
His father, mother, and two brothers
are now living in Ohio. His mother
arrived Tuesday to attend the fun
eral. :
The funeral will take place from
the Baptist church this (Wednes-
day. afternoon, to which all friends
and acquaintance are invited. In
terment in Fallon cemetery.

INSURANCE PAYMENTS
COVER TWENTY YEARS

The war department authorizes
the following:
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived by the finance division of the
quartermaster corps from relatives
of enlisted men as to the method of
payment of insurance benefits to the
beneficiaries of those men who have
become insured under the provisions
of the war-risk insurance act.
Under the provisions of the act
the beneficiary named does not Sc
cure the amount of the policy in a
lump sum on the death of the in
sured, but receives monthly pay
ment from the government as pro-
ceeds from the insurance. The
payments cover a period of twenty
years, or 240 months.
For an insurance of $1,000 the
beneficiary would receive a monthly
payment of 1915 for twenty years.
For the maximum insurance of s10.-
600 the beneficiary would receive a
payment of s57 $50 per month for 20
years. Insurance may be had in any
amount from $1,000 to $4,000 in
multiples of $500. and the policy Is
payable on the basis of 1878 per
month for each $1,000 of insurance
for 240 monthly intsallments

one of the biggest gold and oliver

II am familiar with most of the

believe the Wilson strike will equal

backed his judgment by securing a
large block of the company stock.
They have an ideal high grade
milling proposition with an abund-
anoe of both wood and water.
Manager Wilson states that they
have fully 100000 worth of ore al
ready blocked and that the company

FIRE DESTROYS COURT
HOUSE IN W1NNEMUCCA

Humboldt county's courthouse,
built In 1873, following the removal
of the county seat from Unionville,
was gutted and almost totally de-
storyed by a. fire which broke out
shortly after six o'clock Saturday
evening. The fire is believed to have
been of incendiary origin from the
fact that il originated in the attic of
the building, near the stairway lead
ing from the grand jury or law IL
brary room to the cupola. The only
other reasonable explanation, aside
from incendiary origin, is that the
fire was caused by defective wiring.

host. We wish we could say as
much for many German subjects in

And then the little mouse came

that the three girls told Puss that
they must put on their feather
dresses every night at twelve
o'clock for 4 year and a day. or else
they would be turned into doves
again. But when the year and a
day was up they might throw away
their feather dresses for ever and
ever.
Well, after that Puss said good
