BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB TO
HAVE SPLENDID SHOWING

Miss Leah Barker has returned to
Fallon to complete the plans for the
club exhibit at the Churchill count,
fair.
About 100 club children will ex.
hibit garden produce, live stock
canning and sewing at this time
The Boys and Girls club exhiDi,
will again be one of the chief attrac
tions of the local fair. The SAINT
section OF the fair pavilion has beef
set aside for the Boys and Girls
club department,
All club members enrolled In the
garden projects report that the gar.
dens this year have been much poor
er than in former years. This ap-
pears to be due to plant diseases and
insects. The tomato wilt which has
been more prevalent this summer
than formerly has injured many to-
mato plots, and the cabbage lice ano
worms have ruined cabbage patches
In spite of this it is expected that
the garden exhibits will be large and
interesting.
The livestock exhibits will also be
very complete and representative oi
very earnest and effective juvenile
effort.

PROJECT POWER AND IRRI-
CATION NEEDS FULLY SERVED
Plenty of Water For Power Purposes
For Municipal Needs of Fallon,
Hazen and Lovelock

Project Manager John +. Richard
son states that there will be no ces-
sation of power service for the
towns served by the Nevada Valleys
Power Company from the govern
ment hydro-electric plant at Lahon-
tan, but that municipal needs will
take prominence over commercial
service and as a result the ore mills
at Rochester and Mill City will be
shut down to remain idle until such
time as the Truekee river flow is in
creased by cooler temperatures. Or
dinarily August Goth witnesses an
appreoiable augmentation of the
Truckee river flow. but this being an
usual season for warmth, the dGle
when the increased flow will succeed
the summer minimum is not yet in
sight.
In the meantime all irrigation
needs in the project districts served
from the Truckee canal have been
taken care of fully and there will be
no shortage of farm crops as a result.
Earlier in the season 1t was feared
that these districts would be denied
the usual measure of irrigation wa
ter as a result of the lack of Lake
Tahoe storage, but concessions
granted by the Truckee river cleo
trio companies sufficed to avert loss.

SPLENDID AGRICULTURAL
DISPLAY FOR 1919 FAIR
Interest Is Centering Around the
County Fair to Be Held Here
Next Month

DR.. c. A. Ha5call, county fair
manager, states that interest in the
county fair to be held at the state
fair grounds in this city Septem ber
Sth to 18th. inclusive, increases with
each day and the number of entrants
who have come forward already as
sures exhibits of the greatest interest
forming as they will a comprehensive
portrayal of local resources. This
season has been unusual in its de-
yelopment of plant life, the growing
season being highly propitious.
and as result the range of crop
production is unequaled There viii
be practically every variety of home
grown deciduous fruit, cereals
roots and forage on display and the
stock pavilion will also count much
that will interest. During late years
farmers here have been paying strict
attention to the development of the
best strains of stock and the results
of these efforts will be in evidence at
the coming fair.
The fair meeting promises to ac-
cord a real opportunity for neigh
bors to get together and swap the
experiences of the past year and it
is earnestly hoped. by the fair spon-
sors that on this occasion true
neighborliness and return TO the
good old days when folks drove
many miles to district fairs just for
the chance to learn what had beer
accomplished by others will prevail

FaIlon Short of Ho1king Accommo-
dations Every Night and the Need
of Additional Facilities Emphasized

The urgency of the need OF a new
hotel in this city is forced home each
night when the demands of transi-
ents for rooms in this city exceed the
available supply. Scarcely an even
ing has passed during late weeks
but the town has been thoroughly
combed for a place for weary way
farers to lay their heads and with
the number of this class constantly
growing the need of a new hotel for
Fallon is emphasized. George
Wingfield gave out statements some
months ago having to do with pro-
ject in which Fallon WAS assured a
new hotel structure, but the disin-
terestedness of local people sufflced
TO force the conclusion In his mind
that though the need for the inno-
yation was plain to many people thai
F'allon was really not in line for a
new hotel until such time as more
general appreciation exists for his
scheme.
In truth a first class hotel would
pay handsomely in Fallon. This be.

ANOTHER COMPANY rs BEING
FORMED 10 PROSPECT FOR OIL

c. W kinney was an arrival from
Fallon yesterday where he reports
continued activity in the Lahontan
oil field, near Saltwater He says
three companies are at work and q
fourth preparing to get into the field
with drilling outfit just as soon ae
thtIr business organization can be
perfected. This company is to be
known as the Fallon Pioneer OIL
company, in which Reno and Phila-
delphia parties are interested. Mr..
Kinney says the big derrick OF the
Lahontan Oil Syndicate Is completed
ana the drilling equipment will soon
he ipstelled. He regards the loca-
ton of the Lahontan Syndieate's
well III being IN a very favorabio
spot says, the Reno Journal
Mr.. kinney is the owner If .
practically pure salt bed of great ex-
tent at Sand Springs, just south of
the Salt Wells district and declares
that this should not be overlooked
as one of the very favorable signs OF
oil in this part of the field. The
springs that form this deposit are
fed from great depth and II is held
by many that oil is usually associat-
ed with salt water, as has been dem
onstrated In other fields. Mr.. Kin
ney believes that with his salt, coup
led with other geological conditions
indicates a nearby oil horizon. He
referred TO the exposures OF dioto-
maceous earth deposits as having an
important bearing on the oil possi-
bilities of the district.

NO HUNTING TO BE ALLOWED

the confines of the l4,000-acre com
munity pasture, which includes the
government lands around Carson

haunts for water fowl on Tie A.aas-
lean continent. This order vas put
forward in response to demands ex-
isting here. ii being asseyerated by
owners of stock pastured IN the gov-
ernment reserve that careless hunt
ers have in times past occasioned
considerable annual losses of stock
as result of promiscuous shooting
and the seeretary's order was sought
as a means to avoid a recurrence of
this condition this season Lately
petitions have been circulated asking
for revocation of the original of
fetal order, but it is being opposed
by numerous of the owners OF stoef
within the pasture. with the result
that it may go forward lacking the
endorsement of the project mana se-
ment.
The Newlands project community

butes of the irrigation scheme in this

Alaska Reindeer Industry Very
Promising

Vilhjalmur stefansson. the great
Arctic explorer points out that In
1892 when the Alaskan Eskimos In
the vicinity Of Bering Strait had de-
stroyed all the animals upon which
they had lived, the Bureau of Edu-
cation for the Natives of Alaska,
originated the plan of importing
reindeer for a number of years from
Siberia and Lapland. training the
Native Eskimos in the care of the
animals. From the original 1850
reindeer imported from Siberia
there are now 100000 in Alaska
and $4,000 have been killed for meat
and their hides. Inside of ten years
Mr.. stefansson predicts that the
number of erindeer In Alaska vii
have increased TO 100000 and that
their propagation will soon become
the most lucrative of all the Terri
tory's industries.

LOAN
BEING PLANNED
Much is Being Done to Insure
Success for the Com
ing Drive

Extensive preparations for IN en-
ergetic publicity campaign for the
Victory Liberty Loan in the eight
sub-districts of the Second Federal
Reserve District, r already under
way. L. T. Tomlinson, Jr., Is the
general in command of the publicity
army for the eight districts, number
ing about 5000 men and women when
the campaign is in full swing.
Eight chairmen to direct the pub
licity campaign in each district have
been appointed by Mr. Tomlinson,
and they arc already at work organ
izing competent bands of workers in
their respective district Each of
these chairmen has been selected
the important work of selling pub
lefty for the loan. They are all
well known publishers or advertising
men of New York City. full of pep"
with a thorough comprehension OF
the value of publicity to the success
of the loan, and the best means of
getting 1t. These men will work out
plans in conjunction with the Public
ity and Feature Bureaus of the Lib
erty Loan Committee in New York
City, which they believe best suited
to attract the notice of the people in
their districts to the loan campaign.
One of the new features decided
upon for the forthcoming campaign
is to have In each district from four
to six Liberty Loan speakers who will
devote all their time to the district
throughout the campaign, instead of
going from district to district as has
been the custom IN previous cam
paigns.
, A plan is also under discussion for
organizing a Women's Bureau, whose
duty will be to assign women speak
ers to the various districts. Among
the men speakers in each district will
be returned soldiers with actual bat
tie experience on land or in the air
There will be bands and parades, be-
sides many new features that are now
being worked out, but of which nc
/ details can be given at present.
Altogether, Mr.. Tomlinson predicts
that from a publicity point of view,
which Is the only view on which he
is authorized to speak. the forthcom-
ing Victory Liberty Loan campaign
will be q record breaker.
