TO BUILD NATATORInH At
old COUNTY SEAT TOWN
Third Artesian Flow of Hot Water
Was Developed Mt saltwater
Yesterday Afternoon

II remained for Park Wheeler
proprietor of the Saltwater hotel
and owner of a good sized tract OF
land in that community. to develop
flow of hot water in the therma
belt to the east of us that carries a
temperature one degree in excess OF
the boiling point which in this alti-
tude Is 205 degrees. This we'll was
developed by Mr.. Wheeler during
late days, heavy flow resulting at a
depth of 260 feet. Being about half
mile south of the Kent wells, the
water from which is slightly less in
temperature than that from the
Wheeler well, the indication is pre-
sented that as wells are sunk furth-
er south artesian water of increasing
temperatures will be encountered.
Mr.. Wheeler left for Reno today
carrying with him samples of the
hot water which he will have ana
lyzed at the state university labora-
tory. 1t Is his plan to build a nata-
torium at his hotel at once and make
1t popular resort where hot baths
can be had by residents of this Sec
tion. The new turn in events pre-
sages much for the old county seat
town and 1t Is said that Mr.. Wheeler
in conjunction with Former County
Commissioner c. p. Cirac will short

d car stolen in Reno, upon informa-

cents in their pockets, drove up to a
service station in the vicinity of Aus
tin and tried to buy line. Chief
.Airkiey and Judge Foster were hunt

later the proprietor lIentioned the

TO ASK FOR An IMPROVED

Held Interesting Meeting Mt Court
House Monday Evening

A fair sized REPRESENTATION of tn,
boosting element of the city wal
present at the commercial club meet
ing at the court house Monday even
ing when the activities of the new
and rapidly growing body were fur
ther enlarged and matters discussed
which has an intimate relation to
the general welfare of the communi
ty. The Fallon postal service, about
which there has been considerable
complaint, was discussed in Its sev.
eral phases and a committee was ap-
pointed to confer with Postmaster
George w. Likes to determine, IL
possible, a new policy wherein the
Washington postal authorities may
be induced to lend their efforts to
an improvement that is plainly need
ed to correct palpable injustice.
Secretary w. K. Davis was in
structed to correspond with the ex-
ecutive heads of the Hotel Mems AS
sociation of America in the hope
that outside capital may be intro
duced into Fallon for the consum-
nation of a hotel enterprise. The
logic of this move is made apparent
WIN thC slattlnCnt tttat just lON
there is much capital available for
such undertakings on adequate
7howings ard ii is felt by the ex
ponents of Fallon's virtues and pos
sibilities that few towns anywhere
offer such splendid openings in this
regard as does this city. Last even
'ng about Is transients were forced

eapital responds with alaority to de
mands of this sort but there is an
apparent timidity on the part of Fal

'onveniences lasting favorable i'm
'ression would be created In the
minds of transients who now carry

lily welcomed.

tructed to correspond with Nevada

'ect, and learn, If possible. the ap-
roximate time when the Washing
On authorities expect TO start work

Still another committee was ap-
'ointed to arrange for the installa-

developed that the Oats Park city
