NEW CABINET TO SIGN
AND SUBMIT ACTION TO
NATIONAL REFERENDUM

WETMAR, June 21.-The new Ger.
man cabinet now in process Of for
nation, viii sign the peace treaty,
according to the plans Of political
leaders today. Afterward the Ger
man people will be asked to ratify
this action in a nationwide refer
endum.
The national assembly, scheduled
to meet today for final action on the
terms, already has indicated through
party caucuses a strong sentiment in
favor of signing While the national
list party members voted unanimously
against acceptance. the dominant
coalition Of majority socialists, cen
trists, and democrats registered its
approval Of signing.
Ebert Changes Mind.
President Ebert, who was said to
have decided to stand or fall with
the Scheidemann cabinet, apparently
has changed his attitude today. He
called the party chiefs together for
a secret conference, obviously for the
purpose Of selecting the personnel of
the new ministry. The belief prevail
ed that Ebert would be able tC hold
out and probably would dominate the
new government.
DR.. Eduard Davis, president Of the
national assembly, appears to be the
most likely. candidate for chancellor.
Opposition to Gustav Noske, present
military governor, is growing, and
Herman Muller is reported to have
stated he will refuse to head the gov
eminent If asked. Chancellor Schei-
demann is continuing to conduct gov
ernmentaI affairs until the new cabi-
net is ready to assume office.
MGy BE GUnder Protest.
Reports are being circulated today
that a plan is on foot to have the
treaty signed under protest" It is
said that at least three reservations
will be made-continued opposition to
turning the former Kaiser over to
Trial by an allied tribunal, demand
for fixation Of a lump sum for in
demnities, and plea for immediate
admission OF Germany TO the league
OF nations.

Fallon Oil District Meeting Held
Monday Evening Developed Dis
cussion and New Project

The meeting of the members of
the Fallon Oil Field District, held
at the Court House Monday evening
developed considerable discussion
relative to the proper amount of
work to be done TO secure claim
right recognition Ii was asserted
by some that very little assessment
work should be required in order to
establish a priority of right to oil
lands, but the majority maintained
that the original rules laid down and
published in the Standard in re-
cent issue should continue to govern.
The most fruitful action taken at
the meeting has to do with a plan to
sink a test well on the Freeman
ranch near Saltwater where oil was
developed recently in the course of
sinking for artesian water. The
flow that startled observers was OBJ
tanned at depth of 1876 feet and the
Oil Club members affiliated with the
Fallon district organization propose
to sink test well in the same neigh
borhood to depth of 250 feet and
eet oil samples for analysis to allay
whatever suspicion may exist in out
side minds that the oil secured here
up to the present time is not of the
regulation mineral character In
this connection ii IS cited that test
was recently made of oil secured in
the Pyramid district of the Lahon-
tan valley which showed a parafine
base in the most conclusive way, con-
ditions in the Pyramid section being
altogether analogous with those pre-
vailing in the Fallon field.

CROP VALUE NEARING THE
100000 MARK HERE
Project Agricultural Census for 1919
Has Been Completed and Figures
Have Been Sent to Washington

Project officials have completed
the work of compiling the figures
representative of agricultural effort
within the Newlands irrigation
scheme for the year 1919. Some
highly interesting data has thus
been made available. The growth
of the projects farming interests is
indicated by the total farm crop val
ues for this and last year. In 1918
project farmers produced crops of a
Total value of 81 665, 800, while they
raised crops during the season of
1919 valued at $1,840,650 1t hasn' I
been so long ago that the farm land
owners here were struggling to get
to the million dollar mark as a mat
ter of annual crop production value;
II now seems likely that the two mil
lion dollar mark will be passed in
1920. The average value of crop
production per acre in 1918 was
S53.15; in 1919, $3.50.
The total value of the project with
improvements. exclusive of the stock
nd equipment, is $7,8S3,200. The
sotdi lHNesteu Is 20 Oil4o,fOU. lHeTe
is an additional $1,2S2,467.00 in
vested in personal property on pro-
iect farms. The total acreage clear
ed and leveled is now 3S,126 acres
against 34,91S last year.
Alfalfa, as in past years, is the big
erop of the project and shows a very
good increase over last year. The
creage for 1919 was 27,042, while
for 1918 it was only 25,267. From
this acreage there were 1867 tons
of hay produced this year as against
S,374 tons in 1918. Honey showed
the largest percentage of increase,
there being 296,615 pounds pro-
duced by the bees OF the project this
ear ard only 10000 pounds last
ear. Nearly all OF the crops show
an increase, although there are a
few instances which show a falling

equipment Is less encouraging and
