Mr. Charles E. coe. secretary,

Mr. Charles f. Coe. Secretary.
Truckee-Carson Irrigation District,
My dear Mr. Coe: | am just in
receipt of your favor of May 18th,
enclosing copy of the resolution
adopted by the Board of Directors of
the Truckee-Carson Irrigation Dis
trict relative to providing funds by
an act of Congress in order that the
necessary work may be carried on in
your district.
shall call on Secretary Lone per-
sonally this afternoon and speak to
him about this matter. No doubt he
has arranged to take care of 1t but
think II would be good plan to
call his attention to the matter. The
appropriation bills are now being
prepared and IL would be better to
have this matter covered to begin
with than to ask for amendments
later on. | shall be glad to give IT
my personal attention.
Very sincerely yours,

OBNOXIOUS AND UNFAIR
TARIFF NOT TO Be EFFECTIVE
Fallon's Growing Alfalfa Meal In
dustry Was Threatened by Actiy-
tiles Of Clerks

The activity of government rail-
road administration clerks, bent on
making a showing in the work of re-
vising transcontinental tari # s.,
threatened the existence of Fallon
alfalfa meal industry and threw a
decided scare into local business in
terests last week, which has appar-
emily been averted through the COM
bined protests of the big shippers in
California who in saving themselves
have saved Fallon's leading industry.
1t seems that in reviewing the trans
continental railroad rates the admin
istration clerks found that Seattle
and Portland rates on alfalfa meal
exceeded the San Francisco tariff to
Missouri river points by six cents per
hundred pounds. In truth no alfal-
ia meal goes forward from the
northwest, the rate being what is
known as a paper schedule and un-
used. Intent on "equalizing,' no
matter how unequal the results may
be to shippers generally, the railroad
moved to raise the
California and Nevada rates on the
commodity to harmonic with those
in effect up north with the result
that California alfalfa meal inter-
ests set up a howl that has been
heard away back in Washington aud
it now seems certain the old rates
will stand. The six cent raise pro-
posed would have meant an increase
in the shipping cost of the Fallon
meal of s1.20 per ton, which in turn
would have consumed the manu-
featuring profit and have sufficed to
make impossible the further manu-
facture of meal at this point.
The local mills are competing at
the present time with Colorado and
Nebraska concerns under a handicap
of approximately $500 per ton, the
meal men of those states enjoying
a rate to Missouri and Mississippi
river points $500 cheaper than ours,
and we compete with them success
fully. despite this disparity because
of the superior qualities of our pro-
duct The present rate on meal
from Fallon TO Missouri river points
is 56 " cents per hundred pounds
and IN MississipDi river poiDts SO 10
cents. Local shipments go forward
in automobile cars which would oth-
erwise return to the manufacturing
eenters unloaded.

TO PARTICIPATE IN
CARSON ROAD MEETING
Fallon VIII Participate In Carson
City Booster Convention to be
Held ON June 4th

Fallon has been asked to cooper
ate with Carson City and Placerville
residents in holding a booster con-
vention in the capital city on June
4th. Great preparations have been
made for the entertainment Of visi-
tors and it now seems certain that
large number of Fallon residents
will be in attendance. The following
letter to l. H. Kent explains some
thing of the purposes of the get-to-
gether meeting:
Carson City, May %. 1919.
Hon. 1. H. Kent, Fallon. New
My dear Mr.. Kent:
am sending today a number of
copies for the call for the Booster
convention here on June 4th. The
Placerville people are coming over In
large numbers and then will go on
East. They are very enthusiastic
over the proposition of boosting the
Fallon-Carson City-Placerville road.
We feel that a great deal of good
will come from the convention, and
urge that your people come in with
suggestions for a permanent organi-
zation.
The flooding of the road this side
of Lahontan dam is causing us some
concern, and we should all use every
effort to have the reclamation offic-
ials take some steps to construct
new road.
Trusting that you will be able to
attend the convention In person and
that large delegation of boosters
will come with you, I am
Yours very truly,
w. II. HARRINGTON.

PROVISION FOR DRAINAGE
NAY Be MADE BY CONGRESS
No Government Money for Project
Drainage During Present Year
According to Secretary Lane

Charles &. Coe, secretary of the
Truckee-Carson irrigation district. re-
ceiyed telegraphic advice from Sec
retary of the Interior Franklin X.
Lane, under date of last Thursday,
stating that the approved drainage
program, recently perfected by the
irrigation district and the reclama-
tion service drainage boards, cannot
be undertaken this year as contem-
plated because of lack of funds,
adding that due consideration would
be given to the undertaking in the
next estimate which will be put for
ward next September for the fiscal
year 1920-1921. 1t thus appears that
our drainage project has assumed an
indeterminate and hazy character.
which may be cleared. however.
through the efforts of the members
of Neyada's delegation in congress.
Secretary Coe Is in receipt of letters
from Senators Pittman and Hender-
son, expressing their determination
to bring the appropriation matter
before the senate committee on arid
lands and irrigation to be adopted
as contingency SO urgently needed
that rules may be waived in its fav-
or, all to the end that drainage work
may be inaugurated here during the
present season.
1t seems that the Nevada senators
take more hopeful view OF the local
situation than is expressed in secre-
tary Lanes message. Likewise Ell
bert Meade. the irrigation authority,
has joined in the effort to rush our
drainage project to completion. The
following letters will more fully ex-
plain the present status of the
drainage scheme:
