1t is the herculean task of Knight to
decide whose claim is legitimate.

given to Airs. Anna Oster, who says
that she was married TO Oster IL
years ago and that they had two chill
dren. The woman with whom the de-
ceased was living at the time of his
death is known as Mrs. Frances Oster.

STORY Of RUSSIA At
AMERICAN TONIGHT

A thrilling story, a beautiful and
talented star, a splendid cast, excel
lent direction, and some wonderful
photography-all go to make up Nor
ma Talmadge's latest Select picture,
1.-The New Moon" in which she is
presented by Joseph NJ. Schenck at
the American theatre tonight.
"The New Moon" is the story of a
Russian princess, Marie PavlDvna,
who fees to a ne%ighboring province
when her castle is attacked by an
archists, and takes refuge in a small
store is the guise of a peasant girl.
When the decree is issued ordering
all the women in the country to reg
lister in order to be nationalized, the
princess refuses to register and in
cites other women of the town to fol-
low her example. The authorities
discover the true lineage of the peas
ant girl who is leading the women to
revolt and try to force her to regis
ter. with dire results to themselves.
Norma Talmadge, famous for her
versatility, gives an excellent char
acteriZation of the Russian peasant
girl who IA truly a princess. The
story, while true to the life of Rus
STA as it exists today. seems more
like a fairy tale. The disguised prin-
cess, her blue-blooded lover, the re-
volt, the chase, the capture, happi-
for the good people and sadness
for the bad ones-all go to make up
a story of cold. bleak Russia, warmed
by the beauty and intensity of the
acting of Norma Talmadge.

have undertaken to finance the
project.
1t is given out that a central Main
street location will be used and that
the hotel will contain at least fifty
rooms, with store rooms and lobby
on the ground floor. and no feature
necessary for modernity to be over
looked. The probable cost of the
enterprise will range from $125,00
to $500 00. and when completed it
will be placed in charge of a thor
ough-going hotel man who will know
and serve the public's needs.
These needs are now very largely
going unserved. Not a day passes

quacy of present accommodations,

Churchill county boys who are at
tending the State university, came
down from Reno last Saturday on a
single motorcycle, a "chummy road
ster," as they called it, and had some
difficulty in making the rolling
country between Sparks and Wads-
worth without gasoline. Both being
students of the engineering course
at the university. their minds con-
ceived the notion of coasting down
to Fallon. buying their gasoline here
and being propelled back to the
place of beginning. But the idea
wouldn't work. Tired to distraction,
they stopped by the wayside and
borrowed a supply of the combustible
huid. finally arriving here.-[Churc-

LATEST ACTIVITIES

The 500-foot level has been reached
by the drilling force in charge of
operations at the George B. Williams
farm, east of Fallon. and every foot
penetrated by the drill makes more
pronounced the oil indications that
have followed the progress of sink
ing from a depth of 165 feet. New
concomitants usual in proven oil
districts have been encountered, in
GLIDING genuine asphaltum, and visits
to the well have uniformly convinced
experienced oil men of the existence
of petroleum under the Lahontan
valley floor. Certainly the oil is be-
ing pumped out of the Williams well
in increasing quantities as sinking
continues, and the experiences mark
ing the progress of those in charge
have not been unlike those attending
the development of the shallow oil
well districts of Texas, say experts.
Opinion remains fixed, however,
that the best chances for unleashing
a gusher are presented in the district
leading from the valley floor to the
hill section east and south of Still
water, where several companies are
making ready to start drilling opera
tons in the mex few weeks.
The Lahontan Oil Syndicate is rap
idly maturing the plans put forward
by its management some time ago
and will be drilling within a few
days. n
The Fallon Oil & Gas Company has
its drill on the ground in the district
east and south of Saltwater, and
Superintendent c. H. Berry had made
the promise that it would be in oper-
alton by Saturday (Oct. 18).
The Big Four Oil & Gas Company.
with a drilling rig formerly used in
potash exploration work in the Dixie
valley, has the rig moving toward
the company's ground in Section 3.
Township IS, Range 81, and those
behind this company maintain that
the drill will be operated by a full
crew within two weeks.
The Paramount Oil & Gas Com
pany and Pioneer Oil & Gas Company
representatives are engaged in an
active stock-selling campaign, and
have about reached the point where
they feel the necessary investment in
drilling machinery will be justified.
Many other local and outside COM
panies are planning to operate in an
active manner.
In short, the present situation can
be best summarized in the statement
that excitement does not run high
as loquaciously inclined folks might
say, but transversely, the indications
presented by the Williams well have
served to add incentive for oil de-
velopment activities and level-headed,
sane and sound business men are set
ting about in a determined and con-
servative manner to exploit the Fal-
Ion felds.-[Churchill County Stand
