ination for assemblyman from Lyon
County. In ten years of service in

/ Gov. Boyle, in his testimony told o.
expectations that the Wabuska smell
ter would become a commercial enter
Prise Of vast proportions if arrange
nents could be made whereby ores
from other communities could be
profitably worked there. He told o.
the need of mixing ore from other
districts that could not be obtained
at present because of prohibitive
freght rates.
In the course OF his testimony the
governor said that Nevada had about
l40O producing mines during the
war but that mining at present was
working under great handicap>. He
asserted that reasonable rates for
shipment of low grade ores was al
most public necessity and that such
rates would do much to increase the
number OF producing mines by pro
viding market where ore could be
ready marketed
At the conclusion of the hearing
Mr. Gartner left for the East. and il
is not probable that decision will
be reached for several weeks.

FARMERS TO FORM
DRAINAGE COMPANY

At a meeting OF the property own
ers of the Valley. held i'll the city
court rooms last Thursday evening,
the drainage question that contronts
the farmers OF the valley was again
discussed.
The meeting was held as a result
sent out notices urging those interest
ed to be present. Clark J Guild
presided and talks were made by
such men as George Willis, Frank
Stickney, and others, distinguishing
this from previous meetings for the
same purpose, where the results ac
complished have been negligible. The
sense of the gathering was that inn
mediate action was imperative, and it
seemed to be the general impression
that the formation OF a drainage
company would give better results
than the other methods proposed
Jim Kelly and Fred Bertrand were
named as committee to make fur
ther investigation, and have already
had meeting with Elmer Hansen and
Joe Wilson. as representatives of the
Lyon County Farm Bureau. and tn,
Joint committee has employed J. NJ
Malone to make necessary surveys
and prepare maps of the project
Mr.. Malone will commence his
work on Monday and it is prob
able that within very short time
some thing definite will have been
accomplished

Wilson and other Yerington people
who attended the hearing of the Wa
buska rate case before Mr. Cart
ner, of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission have returned from Reno, and
report that the hearing will very prob
ably result in an order for material
reduction in the rates Of the Western
Pacific on orc from Plumas county to
the local smelter Such lowering oil
the rates will result in the opening on
the Thompson smclter and the install
lation OF reverberatory furnaces.
Resumption of activities at the smell
ter will result i'll the reopening of the
big copper producing properties i'll
Mason Valley, employing over LOCO
men, and also other mines through
out the state.
Mr.. Gelder testified regarding the
mining industries in Nevada and the
necessity for removing obstacles to de-
velopment of the smelling facilities.
He told of the need for importing GER
tain kinds of ore for fluxing purposes
and declared prohibitive freight rates
prevented development of numerous
low grade ore bodies that otherwise
would be shipping ore to the smelter
at Wabuska.
Mr.. Campbell testified regarding
power earnings that had been reduced
because of the closing OF the smelter.
Reasonable freight rates on ore
shipped from Plumas county. Cal, to
the Mason Valley Mines Company
smelter at Wabuska would insure ex-
pansion of mining industry in this
state. according to Gov. Boyle who
was principal witness at the inter
state commerce commission hearing
on those rates The Mason Valley
Company has appealed to the Com
mission to establish rate on the
Western Pacific considerable lower
than the present tariff, basing the plea
upon comparative rates in other sec
sions which. PLAINTIFF contends are
much lower than the one quoted in
this state

FIRE ALARM NOW WORKING.
Whistle and Bell Work Together for
Firat Time in Many Weeks-New
Generator Arrived Monday.

The Brattleboro fire alarm whistle and
bell were put into working condition
saturday so that both operated together
for the first time in many weeks, and
the new generator, which was ordered
everal weeks ago, arrived Monday.
Although the new wire, which was
ordered many months ago, has not ar.
lived Fire Chief Frank C. Streeter was
lble to borrow wire from the telephone
ompany, and Alfred Darling of the tele
lhone line department and. one of the
fire department drivers assisted Mr.
Strecter in laying the new. wires or
Eliot, Main and Flat streets. ~
While the whistle has not been heard
for many months the bell sounded unit
the last thunder shower, but since that
time the town had been without fire
alarm signal save the telephone. The
trouble with the whistle also was located
and was found to have been caused by O
leak in steam pipe at the Estey organ
plant.
