An augury of better things for the

purpose of working out a feasible

Preliminary details will be de-

conditions and sentiment in advance
of Mr.. Meade's arrival He finds the

popular of the several plans adduced
for placing project lands under cul-

said, as an experiment, and the un-

though distinct disappointment,
precludes its continuance. He be-
lieyes the settlers acting in coopera-

ties, will be able TO level their own
lands more to their own satisfac-
tion and withal more eheaply than
by any other method and looks with
the utmost favor upon the scheme,
as befitting conditions here
Mr.. Mum is certain this project
will benefit very substantially with

LAKE TAHOE RIGHTS ARE
NOW PARTIALLY ADJUSTED
A Satisfactory Adjustment of Lake
Tahoe Rights Seems Assured
For Near Future

Project Manager John F. Richard

the settlement of the controversy be-
tween the federal government and
the Lake Tahoe riparian owners As
a result of their visit a highly satis-
factory settlement was effected with
81 of the approximately $50 con-
testing owners and this favorable ac-
tion is regarded as an opening wedge
that will lead to complete and sat
isfaetory adjustment of the entire
matter.
The Bliss interests, owning the
Lake Tahoe railway and transporta-
tion holdings. have formed the DOM
inant and central figure in the OPP
position, it being their contention
that the great lake cannot be used
for an artificial purpose without null
lifying its value as pleasure resort,
unmindful altogether of the broad
policy of the greatest good to the
greatest number, although tie var
iation of the waters of the lake as
proposed by the government author
tiles and the Stone-Webster power
interests is matter of but six feet
as a proposed maximum.
This maximum is an increase of
only two feet from the present four
foot maximum allowed under the
terms of the arrangement under
which water Is derived from the lake,
but it would result in adding 240.-
900 acre feet of stored water for ir-
rigation purposes. which assured,
would admit of the immediate de-
yelopment of the several choice pro-
jected extensions To the Newiands
project. inclusive of the lands lying
under the Truckee canal. the Lahon-
tan bench lands, and the lands EN-
braced by what is termed the Pyra-
mid lake extension of the project
The virtues of these segregations are
70 well known that the announce
ment of their opening will serve to
attract a large number of prospee-
tive homebuilders to the project.

WESTERN MEAT COMPANY
>><SENStS FAITH IN FALLON
&ehesrn> Meat Company May Erect
Large Alfalfa Meal Plant
- Here

That the minds of the Western
Meat Company entertain plans for
/Fallon that may very materially ad-
vance the community's best inter-
ests was made manifest last Thurs
day when City Engineer L. w. Gre
hore received telegram requesting
information relative to the require
ments here leading up to the build
ing of an alfalfa meal manufacturing
plant. 1t is proposed by this COM
pany to erect modern plant on the
Southern Pacific Company's realty
between the Fallon alfalfa meal
plant and the Verdi Lumber CON-
pany's yards. The telegram to the
city engineer also inquired tie terms
upon which a sufficient amount of
electrical energy to operate the plant
could be secured on long term lease
from the city's system.
This serious inquiry is taken to
mean that the states packing inter-
ests may eventually become largely
centered here. The Western Meat
Company bought between 5000 and
1000 tons of alfalfa hay in this val
ley last year. which has been largely
fed in fattening stock for the out
side markets and nothing is more
logical than that the Western Meat
Company should wish to utilize the
feeding value of its hay to the ut
most by converting it into meal,
thus eliminating all wastage.
1t is pointed out that with large
alfalfa meal plant in operation here
with the attending feeding of large
amount of stock, a meat packing In
dustry would naturally follow In
Fallon. which may eventually take
preeminence over all cohtemporane-
ous enterprises within the state.

SURVEY AND APPRAISAL OF
COUNTY TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Churchill County Authorities Are
Engaged In Making Telephone
Appraisal

The Churchill county authorities,
auspices controlling the county tele-
phone system. have started a survey
and appraisal of the system in its
entirety. 1t Is proposed to make
definite determinations of the ex-
tent of the county taxpayers invest
ment in this public utility. Hereto
fore, the telephone fa les of the
county have been operated on what
would be termed by the mature bus
mess mind as hit and miss policy
There is no available data at hand
to show the extent of the outlay as
it stands. no one knows in a definite
sense, how many miles of line is in
operation, or for that matter any of
the thousand and one things that
should be at the finger tips of the
authorities in control. Modern bus
mess does not operate successfully
in this manner, and the determine
tion of the county executive heads
to thoroughly recapitulate county
telephone matters will be generally
welcomed.
Manager G. E. Richards is author
ity for the statement that the coun-
tvs telephone system will stand on
its own bottom; that there is no
need for apprehension that it will
ever prove a taxpayers burden. ut
should not be expected" he said,
that the system pays for extensions
from its operating revenue. Mani
testify, this can not be done in reas-
on. nor do the large corporations
which specialize in telephone
investments attempt such a pol
icy. But the operating revenue
will take care of every logical item
and In the end the taxpayers will
have found the investment both
profitable and satisfactory.
Churchill county's telephone sys-
tenn enjoys the unique distinction of
being the only county owned enter
prise of the kind in the United
States. II was first undertaken when
Saltwater was the seat of county
government and its outlet with the
outside world was through Wads-
worth. then a thriving railroad CEN
ter. In those days private capital
could not be induced to build the
line and urgent necessity dictated
that II should be constructed from
county funds The present involved
system had its origin in this humble
beginning.
Succeeding county administra-
tions have all had a hand In the
conduct and development of the sys-
tenn and nothing is more natural
than that the great number of cooks
although not spelling the broth" in
this instance, should have so con-
founded county telephone matters
that they exist in the public mind
today more or less as compost
Mr.. Richards is authority for the
statement that the system now has
about 700 subscribers. located in ev-
cry part of the project, all of whom
with the exception of few served
by the Hazen exchange, get their
service through the Fallon central
Office. In addition to these, some so
applications are on file for service
from residents whose homes cannot
be connected up without further ex-
tending the SYSTEMS laterals.

Plans will be drawn this Week for
modern building on the Geo. Wing
field lot on Maine street directly
across from the court house, which
is aimed primarily for a home for
the Churchill county bank. of which
Mr.. Wingfield is the president. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Wing
field has entertained for a consider
able length of time the idea of erect
ing a modern hotel structure in this
ploce. and it is believed that he will
have the plans SO amplified that the
building to be erected will include
hostelry facilities and modern
ground floor store rooms in addition
to banking quarters. Just now
Mr.. Wingield Is inspecting his
mining properties in the south
ern part of the state. He will
be in Fallon on the 9th of this
month. and will make definite de-
cision relative to his building plans
at that time.
Upon the completion of the home
for the Churchill County Bank, the
quarters now occupied will be vacat-
ed and given over to rental purposes
in the event that the building now
owned is not sold meanwhile. Al
though this building was the second
substantial structure to be erected in
Fallon, being constructed in 1904 by
r. L. Douglass and the late Mr..
Ernst, father of George Ernst, of this
place, 1t is very handsome and sub
stantial structure and remains a de-
cided credit to Fallon.
