PACIFIC FLEET TO CRUISE ALASKA WATERS
COX AND MARSHALL LOOK LIKE BEST BETS FOR EMPTY
 HONOR AT SAN FRANCISCO

SEATTLE, June A (by Associatde Press). A Post-Intelligencer special dispatch from San Francisco says the convention barometer indicates wet, and if the convention met today Nc AdOo could have the nomination, but his repeated refusal is driving his SUD- porters elsewhere. Cox and Marshall seem favorites, and Marshall looks like the best compromise candidate, Cox being too moist. Edwards has not caught on yet. Palmer is the Hiram Johnson of the convention and makes the most noise, but is a hundred to one shot, Cummings says.
 It is expected the wet and dry ques- ton will be fought out on the floor of the convention, but the League of Nations and Irish questions will be settled by the resolutions committed

Office purposes. The proposed
structure is to be thirty feet in

room for Mrs. Callie Ferguson's

the structure is In the neighborhood
of $4,000 and Mr.. Depp's aims to
have II ready for occupancy on or
about next March 1st. Dirt is now
being moved for the basement that
will be underneath the greater part
of the building. which is to be
steam heated, will have front and
side entrances and will embody all
of the late features usually found
in post offices in towns of Fallon's

Fallon Oil Field Characterized by
Great Activity and Many Leases
Are Being Taken

The Fnllon oil field is unusually
active during late days. Leases are
being taken on many of the patent
ed tracts in the vicinity of the Fail
Ion Oil and Gas Companys discov-
cry we'll, added value having come
TO these as result of the more or
less badly involved government oil
and gas land leasing law. Oper
ators now evidence a preference for
the privately owned lands. ]. f.
Sieyers, a widely known oil oper
ator, of Denver, Colo, is here this
week inspecting the field and has
announced that favorable conclus-
ions will be followed by drilling un-
der his direction at different points
within the field. He has already
made a more or less cursory inspec-
tion of the geological structure of
the field and expressed an opinion
that production would probably be
In full swing here with the passing
of few months.
The organization of the opera
tors of the district into a well de-
fined cooperating body has marked
distinct step forward in local af-
fairs and the revision of the govern
ment's land Teasing laws to fit tie
conditions here is promised as a re-
emit - tho aottuft{ac nf Iap,as n
Finch. Reno attorney, who is heav-
lily interested in the Fallon field. 1t
seems probable at this time that the
involvement attending conflicts of
claims and prior rights is about to
be clarified and that original loeat-
ors are to be given the preference
in every instance where fair intent
can be shown. Commissioner of
the General Land Office Clay Tall
man has signified his purpose of so
constituting the land leasing law as
to serve equity and a short time
should see land matters restored to
normal state.
10. l.. Bingham, president OF the
local oil operators association re-
ceived the following telegram from
Commissioner of the General Land
Office Clay Tallman under date of
October 18th:
Your telegram of the 7th received
and reply delayed pending receipt
of Finch's letter. have taken up
the matter of sending a representa-
tive to the Fallon field to see what
can be done in the way of adjusting
conflicts. This will be within the
jurisdiction of the San Francisco
field division. A competent man
will probably be detailed at Fallon."
From the above 1t will be seen
that the newly organized oil oper-
ators' association is already making
good use of it's Offices and that its
initiative promises to correct To-
cal situation that has been more or
less confounded as result of a con-
flict of claims in many instances.

Lake Tahoe Level
Plan Has Been
Submitted
New Plan Is Based On Fiye-foot
Variation of Lake Level and
Control of Outlet Channel

State Engineer J. G. Scrugham,
who returned this morning from
Washington, where he went to take
up the matter of the water flow of
the Truckee river for the benefit of
the Newlands project and the farm
ers along the river, has turned the
following program over to the gov
ernor, says the Carson Appeal:
On the I'd inst, Mr.. Scrugham to-
gether with the assistant director
of the reclamation service bureau,
agreed to the following which is to
be submitted to Secretary Payne:
1. The California interests agree
to a settlement basis on five-foot
level variation, but without any
change in the lake run or channel
of the river. The Nevada interests
do not recommend the acceptance of
the proposal unless the right is
recognized to conduct such amount
of water through the channel as
may be needed, the channel to be
excayated accordingly.
2. The reclamation service does
not recommend a settlement on the
basis of q five-foot level variation
unless the right to the channel up
on government property is fully
recognized In case this right is
recognized the reclamation bureau
viii recommend the acceptance of
the proposal To the secretary of the
interior.
3. In order to bring the matter to
more definite head it is under
stood that Governor Boyle of Ne
vada will take the initiative in form
ing a Neyada-California Lake Tahoe
commission, they to make recon-
mendations conveying to the secre-
tary of the interior the plans cover
ing the meter. 1t is to be under
stood that the Nevada representa-
tives on the above commission will
also make a study of the possibili-
Tics VI StOidSt OH lht AluthCt iifti
watershed within the State of Ne
vada, making a report on the regu-
lations of Lake Tahoe to the recla-
nation bureau.
Mr.. Scrugham stated that while
there is nothing definite in this mat
ter, and that the governor will have
to consider the matter before TAX
ing action. that he believes that il
is a stepping stone toward a real
adjustment of the differences con-
cerning the flow of the Truckee
river from Lake Tahoe.
The present season has practical
ly settled the low water maximum
of the lake, and it is TO determine
the high water maximum that will
have to receive the greatest consid-
GRAFTON.
This, he says, will establish the
high water mark and thus advise
property holders on the lake front
just how far back their improve
ments should be and also establish
wharfage lines.

@. r. Engle and Henry Phillips
