TO ESTABLISH OCEAN-TO-
OCEAN AERDPLANE ROUTE
Fallon May BE Stopping Place For
Ocean-to-Ocean Aeroplane Line and
Commercial Club Is Asked to Act

II announced plans of eastern
are fulfilled flying machines OF both
passenger and freight carrying types
may become as common in Fallon as
old shoes in this day of high priced
leather. A communication was re-
ceived by the Fallon commercial club
Monday from the North America Air
Line Association with headquarters
in. Kansas City, Mo-, together with
blueprints of the proposed ocean-to-
ocean air route and landing grounds
that must be prepared by the towns
along the way which have been des-
ignated as stopping places. The
route in contemplation will follow
very closely the lines of the Lincoln
Highway. The tentative route across
Nevada is by way of Melvin, Eureka.
the charting ship left Kansas City
Monday in its westward reeonnais-
sance.
The letter received by the COM
mercial club officials sets forth that
a city shall, in order to secure a
franchise, shall set aside a suitable
landing field where mail may be de-
livered and passengers discharged,
repairs effected and supplies pur-
ohaoad II ;c aloa paeacsorv for the
population of the towns favored to
pay a certain quota of the expenses
to be incurred in perfecting the or
ganization, based upon II members
for each one thousand of the esti-
mated population, memberships to
cost $1,000 per year.
The Fallon-Carson City route is
by no means definite and emphasis
is laid on this phase of the matter,
residents along the northern route
being insistent for recognition and
unless quick acceptance is had from
the organizations along the tenta-
tive route the alternative route may
secure the coveted designation.
A commercial club committee is at
work here on the matter of conform
ing to the requests received and it is
generally hoped by Fallon residents
that all necessary arrangements may
be quickly effected in order that this
shall be port of call for the trans
continental flyers.

UNCLE SAM HAS FAILED TO
SERVE POSTAL NEEDS HERE
Better Mail Facilities is Crying
Need In Fallon, Which Is an Office
Of Rapidly Growing Importance

Fallon's postal needs are now
largely going unserved. not because
OF the lack of warrant for improved
service. but altogether owing to the
failure of the post office department
tc take due cognizance of impera-
tive demand. Train connections are
now SO utterly abominable that an
noyance of patrons is the unvarying
rule and malediction is INDUCED to
the point of nervous exhaustion
Despite the fact that this is a day of
rapid transit wherein automobiles
figure largely, the mail is still car
ried in and out of Fallon solely by
train and but once each day, which
means that important postal matter
from east and west bound main line
trains lays over in Hazen from seven
to 23 hours every day In the year.
In the meantime the three hours
intervening between the arrival and
departure of the daily mail do not
allow the business man to answer
important matters with due prompti-
tude with the result that the tele-
graph is invoked in a great number
of instances wherein the mails. with
proper schedules. should suffice.
Postmaster George w. Likes has
repeatedly importuned the depart
ment for additional clerical help and
has been given authority to add
male clerk to his force which should
help materially in clearing the be-
tween-train daily congestion of the
office. Harry Kendall former rural
mail carrier who resigned his posi-
ton when the route was doubled in
size and changed in character, will
shortly assume the new role and II
Is Mr.. Likes plan to effect several
innovations calculated for the bet
terment of the service insofar as his
agency can be made to apply.
In the meantime, II must seem
that Fallon has assumed rank in
the scale of importance that would
justify the resumption of a two time
day mail service. a dispensation
that was enjoyed in the past before
the federal operation of railways
was thought of save in impractical
minds, lacking the power of idea
tion.

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER II,
POINTED WAY TO WHAT
MAY BE DONE IN FUTURE
County Fair Was Success Both as to
Exhibits and Finances But Did
Not Attract Usual Crowds

The first annual Churchill coun-
ty fair was concluded Friday even
ing with uniform expressions of
satisfaction over the exhibits shown
and the manner in which the meet
ing was conducted generally. A
sufficient amount of money was TAX
en in at the gate to defray the usual
fair expense, while the aviation fea-
ture was partially paid for by lib
eral local subscribers, chief among
whom were r. l.. Douglass. the 1.
H. Kent Company and Gray, Reid &
Company.
The aviation feature was of
greatest interest to the people here,
Lieut.. D. M. Spencer, of the Pacific
Aviation Co., of San Francisco, CIV
ing daily flights. He carried many
local people on short trips and
pleasure was usually expressed by
his passengers over the manner in
which they were whisked through
the air. Lieut.. Spencer took in a
little less than $1,000 as passenger
fares in addition to his $4,000 sti-
pend put forward by the fair man
egement in order TO attract him
here.
In truth this first county fair
meeting has been revelation to a
great number, exenpiifyins as it
does the possibility of annually pro-
viding a show of the products of the
Newlands project which on the re-
cent occasion proved no less sur
prise to a great number of residents
here than to others who live at a
distance and attended TO satisfy a
desire to learn the scope and posi-
bilities of project land production.
Really wonderful products of the
farm, orchard and garden were in
liberal evidence at the Williams ave-
nue. pavilion, exampling local effort
to high degree.

Ten Gents a Copy
HUNDREDS SHOOT WITHOUT
PROJECT MANAGERS SAYSO
Hunting Season Opened Yesterday
With Splendid Shooting-Project
Manager Acted as Gate Tender

The fowl hunters of western Ne
vada and the Newlands project au-
thorities are now maintaining rival
camps on the shooting grounds
around Carson lake and the contro-
versy that has been waged over priv
i,eges on the IA ,000-acre community
pasture has approached a stage that
might be termed by the modern dip
lomat as a condition of armed neu-
trality. When the season opened a
half hour before sunrise yesterday
morning 1t found hundreds of hun
ters making their way into the tules
on the Carson lake marginal lands.
1t likewise found Project Manager
John F. Richardson waiting at the
community pasture gate, where he
took the names of those who enter
ed, demonstrating in some instances,
but faithfully performing the role of
hunters nemesis in fulfillment of
previous admonitions to the men,
bers of the Fallon Greenhead club
and others who importuned in ad-
vance of the season opening for the
hunting prerogative. Mr.. Richard
son has thus created precedent and
established a rule that may be hard
for project managers of the future
to abide by, involving as it does
much loss of sleep and degree of
vigilance most unusual. He was inn
PEELED to this action by the threat
put forward by the hunters of this
project that shooting would be in
dulged despite any action that might
be taken by the reclamation authori-
ties, the def resulting from a recent
conference of local hunters, opinion
favorins summary action when con-
ciliatory efforts had failed.
Either by accident or design con-
siderable volumes of water were
loosed from the project water sup
ply and when the crowds of hunters
arrived at the community pasture
they were forced to wade for con-
siderable distances over ground that
would have sustained automobiles a
few days earlier.
II is said that Project Manager
Richardson will ask the federal
court at Carson City for a writ pro-
hibiting trespassing on the lands of
the community pasture, which II
granted will place poaching game
hunters In contempt of court.

residents of his section, whom he
said, had lately been favored with
the opportunity of getting much
cheap building material as result of
the decreased mining activity in the
Wonder district. A great many of
the Wonder residences have been
purchased by Dixie Valley land To-
Gators who are thus given the op-
portunity of economical home build

transportation officer for the state,

sumors' stores and the Brinton-Town

question but that if the attorney gen.

'ar will strike up fast gait, his
"boss" will be proud of him.
For one thing, it is certain that
Dunbar can, do what Townley COM
mands. For instance, he can tell Dun
bar: Go to the farmers and lie like
a horsethief." He is well qualified
for that job.
Indeed, Townley has the gift of Sc
lecting the right men. Most OF them
have been picked out of other states,
which are mighty glad to get rid Of
them. But Townley did Mclean coun-
ty too much honor when he chose Dun
bar. We are overwhelmed by the Sc
lection.

ing, to see them together visiting the

Towney's Vision
Of big Things

During the last campaign, the
Nonpartisan League had a definite
platform and on that representatives
were chosen for the Legislature If
the program agreed upon had been car
ried out, we believe the people would
have been we'll satisfied. But Townley
was not contented with that. He had
a vision of big things for himself. He
imported lot of long and short hair
ed professors and carpetbaggers to
draw up a few special" bills, which
provide for the creation of new of
fices galore, which will result in no
benefit to anybody except the pocket
books Of ToWnleys and his friend ds:.:ssg~s Il
~ will be remeHfBe efeds when YOU
look at the measures up for referen-

schemes provided thereby simply

perty either town or farm can usually
get it on more favorable terms than
those provided by this act.
But grant that Mr.. Mills contention
that these bills, and we will add the
Mill and Elevator Act, will become in.
operative if the Industrial Commission
Act is defeated. We content that this
would not justify us in clothing the
governor with autocratic powers con-
ferred on him by this act. But as
matter of fact such effect need only
be of a temporary nature. The people
may at the next primary election next
June vote on a workable Mill AMI Ele-
vator bill, sound Rural Credits law,
a Home Builders law and Soldiers
Compensation act without a string at
tached and without politicals handles
to them. Or if the governor deems
that the emergency is such that it
would be desirable to call a special
session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of removing the Objectionable
features and rendering them opera
tive.-Turtle Lake Wave.
