The election is over and We suppose
that the sooner we forget it the bet
ter. In fact we like to think about
something else for awhile. Harding
was elected with probably the largest
ma jority that ever elected a president,
not because Harding was Harding nor
that Cox was Cox. Any other men
would have been just the same, For
six years the world has been in an up
heaval, the controlling of which was
beyond the power of party or govern
ment. The individual voter felt like
he wanted to take it out on somebody
or something, and as the Democrats
happened to be in power they were
elected to be it. The Republicans have
promised much and will not be able to
deliver. and the responsibility is now
up to them. One beauty of the Ameri-
can system of government is that
when we, the people, get crouch We
can ease ourselves by kicking some
body out every four years.

|FALLON'S CENSUS COUNT
CONTINUES TO INCREASE
The Enumeration Of Fall0n's Popu-
lation VIII Continue Through.
out This Week

Mrs. James w. Johnson, enumer-
ator in charge of government census
taking in Fallon and four outside
districts, Sheckler, Harmon, Soda
Lake and Hazen, expects to complete
her work by Saturday. She is still
adding names to the Fallon list and
has received a number Of requests by
mali from local people temporarily
away who rightfully desire their
names placed to the credit of their
home town. Mrs. Johnson has not
made public the figures attending
her work, but 1t is now believed
that rather than showing a popula-
tion of slightly less than 1900 souls,
Fallon will finally be accredited
with a number quite a bit In excess
of this number. George Ray, w. X.
Lipscomb and Mr.. Root, enumerat-
ors in outside county districts. have
completed their work and forwarded
their data to the state census head
quarters in Elko. People familiar
with the county's growth believe
that the population in most of the
outside districts will show advances
equal to that of Fallon where the in
crease for the period between 1910
and 1920 will approximate ESQ per
cent.

NEW YORK COMPANY TO DRILL
IN FALLON OIL FIELD

G. H. Kramer, manager of the
Fallon Office of the Kramer Oil Com
pany. accompanied by Mrs. Kramer,
returned Saturday to Fallon after a
long visit to New York which in
c1uded both business and pleasure.
He says many inquiries are being
made regarding the Nevada field and
reports that the Kramer Oil Com
pany is making active preparations
to start drilling on their property on
the Salt Wells anticline in the La
hontan field and that a considerable
sale of their stock shows the confi-
dence the eastern public has placed
In the company doing the right thing.
However, as the company Is being
financed principally In the east a
resolution will be presented at the
annual meeting of the stock holders
to be held in New York on February
10th, to increase the capital stock of
the company from 100000 to $780,
600 and to change the par value OF
1t to $40 per share to conform with
the practically uniform custom Of
stock issues there prevalent. -.
While In the east Mr.. Kramer
came In contact with many oil men
and got thoroughly In touch with
the business. He says there are any
number OF fake oil companies form
ed daily whose only aim Is to get the
peoples money with no idea of de-
veloping or drilling and he hopes the
district will do all Il can to keep
such companies from operating In
the Fallon field or using It's name In

INCOME TAX PAYERS
ARE WARNED BY WARDELL

A word of warning to income tax
payers is contained in a statement
given out recently by Internal Reve-
nue. Collector Justus S. Wardell who
points out that returns must show
all items of taxable income for 1918.
"Guesswork, estimates, and other
hit-or-miss tactics are barred when
person is making out his income
tax return. Accuracy and complete
ness must be insisted upon. And re-
member, the return is a sworn state
ment; as such II must be thorough
and accurate.
Salaried persons and wage earners
must not confine their returns to fig
ures showing a years pay at so much
day or So much a week. The actu-
al amount drawn should be ascer-
tanned and reported. Overtime, and
bonuses, shares in the profits of the
business, value of quarters and the
board furnished by the employer
and number of items of similar
nature which are compensation for
services, are taxable as part of the
years earnings. and must be includ-
ed. March 15 is the time limit for
the filing OF returns.
There are no priviledged charac-
ters, no distinctions, in the personal
Income Tax. Everybody living in the
United States, whether citizen or an
alien. Is subject to this law. In or
der to be practical, to keep the
wheels from becoming clogged with
useless records, the law does not re-
quire annual returns of very small
incomes. The beginning is at $1,000
for an unmarried person and $4,000
for a married couple.

NO SHORTAGE IN WATER FOR
NEWLANDS PROJECT USES
LahOntan Reservoir Is Now Being
Filled and the Big Basin VIII be
Full to the Brim

The great Lahontan reservoir sup
plying the Fallon unit of the New
lands project is being rapidly filled
with water for 1920 irrigation uses.
Just now 175,000 acre feet of water
are on hand and the full capacity of
the reservoir of 100000 acre feet
will have been attained long before
the seasonal runoffs of the Carson
and Truckee watersheds have been
completed for this year Just now
ing from the Truckee, the flow from
there being at the rate of about 800
cubic feet while the Carson river is
discharging only about one-half this
amount.
1t is a characteristic of the Carson
that 1t pours when 1t gives forth its
yearly flood while the runoff from
the territory that feeds the Truckee
Is more constant.
Considerable additional storage
facilities are to be added to the La
hontan reservoir by the addition of
four feet of retaining wall on the
crest of the dam structure. this to
provide power possibilities for the
big hydro-electric plant below the
dam, formerly served exclusively by
the waters from the Truckee canal.
Lake Tahoe difficulties and the
shortage of water last season which
threatened the electrical service for
this project formed the incentives
for the innovation.
Thus 1t will ber seen that while
other irrigated districts of the west
face with more than an ordinary de-
gree of certitude an acute shortage
of water for crop irrigation this sum-
mer. the Newlands project lands are
assured the usual ample supply of
life giving fluid Indeed there is
even now enough water to care for
the actual irrigation needs of the
territory served from the Lahontan
reservoir. allowing a due amount for
wastage and evaporation throughout
the irrigation period.
With an annual supply of irriga-
tion water assured for the increasing
demands for lands here as the con-
dition becomes to be understood.

Fallon Athletic Club Membership
Drive Nets Substantial Sum
For Treasury

The membership drive of the new
ly organized Fallon athletic club was
concluded at $40 O'Clock last Thurs
day evening, two sides designated as
the blues and the whites pursuing
their quests in keenest rivalry until
the last moment. No one was safe
within the city limits of Fallon and
the tabulations showed that the
whites had won the contest by the
narrow margin of two. AS a result
of the drive 96 members were secur-
ed as signators of the club charter,
IA of which are for boys who were
given junior memberships. A total
of $3.50 was realized from the drive
which will be used in buying new
equipment for the club gymnasium.
Just now the executive committee of
the club is busted with the task of
securing a suitable headquarter for
the organization and several loca-
tions are in prospect. The captain
of the winning side in the member
ship drive was Ernest Dwinell and
that of the losing side was Fred
Saunders.
A number of the Fallon business
men have agreed to take life men,
berships in the athletic club and thus
give additional impetus to the laud-
able movement and it. is thought
that the paraphernalia will be pur-
chased and in use during the pres
ent month. 1t is the aim of those be-
hind the project to install billiard,
pool and card tables and reading
and writing room and maintain open
house at all times where visitors to
Fallon will be made welcome to a
surrounding entirely wholesome and
congenial.
Officers of the club are: L. L.
Hudson, president; F. G. Bryant.
vice-president; Clyde Smart. secre-
tary and N. Jesch, treasurer.
A board of directors is to be ap-
pointed within the next few days the
personnel of which is to be selected
with view to getting the nvest rep
resentation possible from among the

desire EXPRESSIONS FROM
THE COUNTY'S TAXPAYERS
County Commissioners Plan to Ex-
tend Telephone System to
New Districts

Responding to a general demand
put forward by exacting taxpayers
the county commissioners have caus-
ed an inventory to be made of the
physical valuation of the county
telephone system, together with a
statement of its costs to the county's s
propery owners from January 1st,
1909, up to January 1st, 1920. Ac-
countant A. f. Wilson has been en-
gaged in performing the commission
for the last six months and last
week passed into the hands of the
countys executive board a resume of
the transactions of the system for
the eleven year period. This state
ment carries a number of highly In
teresting conclusions, a part of which
are contained in the table published
below.
The object sought by the commits
-'o-ers is to allav apprehension that
the system has not paid and further
to show the possibility of making
ee~lv extensions to the county's tel
ephone system to serve the several
new project districts now In process
of development. Within the Soda
Lake district alone so heads of FAM
lilies have put forward requests for
.a'orhc-a service while in every di-
rection from Fallon new settlements
=, ndsn~ Tho benefits. It Is
estimated that something like $10.-
aH' is needed to complete urgently
needed extensions in many dis
tricts which are so rapid grow
Ing that telephone needs are
immediate and will not await bond
issues or annual tax levies. but must
from the nature of things be en-
compassed from an emergency loan.
Mr.. Wilson's January 1st. 1920,
statement shows that the county's
svstem he's 676 subscribers. of which
number 2S2 reside within Fallon and
394 in the outside districts. Some
thing like 100 new subscribers are
in prospect awaiting only line con-
struction to become paying custo-
mers of the line and the conclusion
reached by the commissioners
hoard is that the countv's telephone
investment is amply Justified and
that ordinary prudence dictates a
continuance of this ownership.
The commissioners are inviting
conferences with interested parties
and IL there are to be objections to
an emergency loan for the laudahle
purpose of extending the telephone
lines to serve existing demands 1t Is
suggested that they should be forth
coming at an early date.
Salient parts of Mr.. wilson's re-
port follow:
