CITY COUNCIL DESIGNATES
TO-DAY CLEANUP DAY

Today is cleanup day in Fallon ac-
cording to edict of the city council,
issued at last weeks meeting OF the
city's executives and the admonition
may well be needed religiously 365
days of each year. Too many people
carelessly throw trash about on the
street and alleys which is later
taken up and carried into the yards
of householders who strive contin-
ually to keep their premises free
from such impedimenti. These feel
that their chore should end when
they cared for their own dirt and
are more less resentful against the
practice of promiscuous dumping OF
trash.
The boys of the town will not
have a swimming tank this season
the mayor and councilmen conclud-
ing that the bids submitted last
week by local contractors involve toe
great an outlay of city funds and
that the municipal treasury can not
at this ime stand the expense that
would be involved in the consumma.
ton of the project which must now
be rated as among the things to be
taken up at later date.

Notwithstanding the increased

SOLD TOWN PROPERTY AND
BOUGHT FINE FARM PROPERTY

L. V. Cirac closed deal Monday
that spells his positive retirement
from the mining game, he said, after
"a years In search of hidden treas
ure, when he took over so acres of
the Clarke 4 Danielson ranch, known
generally as the o. j. Vannoy tract,
north of this city. The consideration
figuring Is $500 and Mr.. cirac Ia
preparing to move his family to the
place. The pay streak for which he
has been delving for a third of a
century, lies within the agricultural
potentialities of the farm he has, ac-
quired. said Mr.. Cirac, and his pick
and shovel and drills have been sold
to the second hand man. In the
meantime he has acquired plows,
harrows, land Jewelers. and other
farming appurtenants and 1t is from
these that his Livelihood of the fu-
ture will come.
In the meantime Mr.. Cirac sold
his residence near the NJ. e. church

will hold the property for rental
purposes.

The new Truckee-Carson district

lie is given out that Mrs. Vanvor-
his will have offices In the building
at project headquarters. formerly oc-
cupied by the watermaster and that
water users may find her there at
stated times to perform the services
coming within the scope of her Of
flee. Mrs. Vanvorhis' selection for
the place will meet with general
commendation as she is thoroughly
qualified and is anxious at all times
to please.
Attorney r. w. Stoddard, irriga-
ton district counsel was present at
Mondays meeting and advised the
board relative to the disposition of
certain petitions already filed by
water users asking for exclusion
from the irrigation district. The
pleas were formally rejected on the
ground that the district board has no
right to grant such a dispensation.
These petitions are said to mark the
initial steps that are being taken by
project water users to invalidate the
proceedings which are aimed to lead
up to project drainage and that the
law will be attacked on its alleged
unconstitutionality.
Just now the members of the
board are busy in evolving an equit-
able method whereby drainage bene-
fits can be assessed. Generally they
favor flat rate of certain percent
age of the total costs and a grad
uation OF the remaining costs which
would be made against project lands
in proportion to actual benefits issu-
ing from the building of the project
ed drainage system. This paper has
been requested by the board to ad-
wise water users that suggestions
will be welcomed at the meeting
that will be held on the 18th OF next
month and the districts directors
are hopeful that tangible plan may
be evolved at that time. They admit
that levying costs in this instance
presents certain problems which are
hard to solve and advice is earnestly
solicited.

Churchill Liquor Cases

District Attorney George ]. Kenny
is planning to hold the preliminary
trial of Ceccatinni and Matteucci,
Chorchill hotel propreitors, charged
with a violation of the states pro-
hibition law, on the afternoon of the
2Sth of this month. The preliminary
will be before Judge T. A. Jones,
Fallon justice of the peace, and will
probably attract considerable atten-
ton, despite the fact that the of
fense alleged. occurred last January
Should the two men be held by the
committing magistrate, their trials
will occur in the district court in
this city at later date, this method
being directed by the state supreme
court in a recent decision handed
down by the tribunal.

DELEGATES APPOINTED TO
ATTEND RENO TAX MEETING
Chamber of Commerce Met Monday
Evening and Talked
Hotel

An interesting meeting of the local
commercial body was held in the
club rooms Monday evening when
the principal topic had to do with a
new hotel for Fallon. Local finan-
cial interests were well represented
at the meeting and listened TO a pro-
posal put forward by Capt. Fl. A.
| Clarke and C. M. Way in which they
agree to introduce to the local situa-
tion an experienced hotel man,
willing to invest $4,000 in a local
hostelry providing like sum can be
raised from amongst local people
willing to put forward the outlay for
a period of ten years at guaranteed
interest rate of four per cent per
annum. the combined sums to be in
vested in a modern hotel edifice cost
ing s150.000.
Those present Monday evening
agreed to put up approximately $780,
900 and the men behind the move
are sanguine of complete success for
their project. 1t being asserted that
Fallon will never have the rating as
municipality that is the towns due
until improved hotel facilities are at
hand.
Mr.. Way assured the club men,
bers present at the meeting that no
site had been selected this being a
prerogative resting with the man
who will have the active manage
ment of the enterprise in the event
that it is matured according to
plans.
President II. A. Clarke. of the
commercial club, has been an active
advocate of more distinct representa-
tion for Churchill county in the state
taxpayers organization recently eff
fected in Reno and at the Monday
evening meeting appointed the fol-
lowing club members to represent
local interests at the meeting that
will be held In Reno on Saturday,
May 29th, at which time a per-
manent organization is to be ef-
fected: c. E. Kent, F. M. Wight
man, George B. Williams, Thomas
Dolf and True vencill. This organi-
cation came into being as result OF
demands put forward from every
part of Nevada, the prime purposes
being the introduction of new
economy measures in the states
government and broader recognition
of the states needs.
Emphasis was given to the fact
that the mining interests have en-
joyed long period of political
predominancy and that by the same
token the states stockmen have not
been slow to organize and put for
ward demands for recognition at
at the hands of the state authorities
The farmers of the state, the most
rapidly growing contingent, have
been without the pale of recognition
because of their failure to organize
and invoke the methods characteriz
ing contemporaneous interests.

|sALI WEALTH OF COUNTY
IS TO Be SENT TO MARKET
C. w. Kinney Has Established Con-
necttons That Insures EARLY
Marketing of Salt

Out at the Kinney salt deposits 20
miles south Of Fallon are the solids
from the brine of prehistoric
ocean. So vast are these deposits
THAT the tonnage is incalculable and
the salt purity runs SO high that
skeptfcism has in times past fol-
lowed mere statement Of fact
Known locally from the first days
of settlement In this valley when
pioneers visited the deposits FOR
salt for both family and stock pur-
poses, this season Is to witness for
the first time the marketing of the
product in large commercial quanti-
ties. Mr.. Kinney returned last Fri
day from a stay in New York City
where he established financial con-
sections that assures the fulfillment
of every plan for development OF the
property which Is entertained by
himself and his new associates.
Prominent New York City fin
anciers and salt manufacturers have
espoused Mr.. Kinney's project and
representation will be here within
short time to inspect the property
and confer with Mr.. Kinney In the
formulation of production and
marketing plans. These include the
purchase of salt gathering machin-
cry, providing transportation facili-
ties and the erection of a salt grind
ing and sacking plant In this city,
and assurance is now held out that
Fallon Is about to become one of the
largest salt shipping points in the
entire country, the supply at the
Kinney deposits being So great that
| no demand can now be anticipated
that would exhaust them. Hundreds
of millions OF tons of this necessary
article. chemically pure. are at hand
while replenishment from under
ground sources is constant. Great
bubbling springs bring to the sur
face the salt solutions. constituting
one of the wonders OF the west.
No man of analytical turn can
visit the Kinney deposits without
being mpressed-awed in fact
with the great possibilities that are
contained there, the chief source of
wonderment coming to mind having
TO do with the question. why has
this great source of wealth gone so
long unutiiized?" Men scurried past
these great beds of sodium chloride
to mining rushes;; they worked with
pick and shovel in their quest for
hidden wealth within almost a
stones throw over period of sereral
decades, yet unconsciously they
tramped by and over potential
wealth that is susceptible of conver-
sion into a sum that will almost
equal the states entire mineral pro
duction from the time precious met
ais were first discovered in Nevada.
This may seem a far fetched COM
parison yet pencil and paper. market
prices and tonnage In sight, will COM
bine with mathematical qualities in
proving its truth.
Mr.. Kinney stated yesterday that
he expects to have the salt on the
way to market by some time this fall
and that the next meeting of the
board of directors would withdraw
the company stock from the market.

The county library maintained in
