CHEVROLET NEWS BUREAU

/
"The rapidly increasing use of pas
senger automobiles i'll business is proof
that they are a profitable investment,
says Fl G. Hughes, local dealer in
Chevrolet cars.
Business houses would buy more
and more of these cars except for
economic reasons-and these reasons
are obvious.
The passenger car not only cuts
cost. It increases the value ofmoney.
Travelling expenses when invested in
a motor car, show more satisfactory
results. t makes the money paid to
statesmen yield more business and
more profits.
"'i'he salesman time is valuable
and an automobile enables him to see
more people and to cover more ter
ritory in day. 1t makes him indie
pendent Of other expensive convey
anccs. 1t does not limit him to rail-
road schedules
He does not have to waste time
in Improbable places He can get
to the right place at the right time.
His motor car makes every minute
count and saves all his energy for
his work.
And the passenger automobile is
proving its advantages, not only in
selling but in every line of business
where transportation is a factor
tThis is especially true of the up
to- date, medium weight car. Their
we'll balanced construction makes
them absolutely reliable. Their CON
venience, increasing by complete
equipment, adapts them especially to
commercial needs.
In addition to these advantages
they are inexpensive to maintain as
to buy. Their total maintenance cost
divided by actual mileage proves how
much they save. Increased business
proves how much they earn.
1T is this enconomic merit COM
bined with their dependability and
convenience that makes medium
weight cars such important factors in
business transportation.

IRRIGATION PROJECT
IN CARSON VALLEY

To take lip with the federal auth

! a reservoir system for Carson Val
ley, Fl +. Dangberg OF Minden left
last night for Washington as the rep
sesentative of the water users and
land owners in Douglas and Ormsby
| counties ard Alpine county, Calf. II
| the plan devised by the parties in

the immediate construction project in
those counties will be sponsored and
capitalized by the people themselves
and the reclamation of thousands of
acres of land
1t appears that i'll 1902 and 1908
the government filed on all water in
the Carson Valley and withdrew
from entry all adjacent public lands
in Ormsby, Douglas and Alpine coun-
ties. In 1911 Carson Valley land
owners and water users took tip the
question Of the organization Of res
ervoir system and i'll 1913 at the re-
quest OF the government organized
district, the government agreeing to
put in a reservoir at the expense of
about $1,2O0,OC0, the money to be ad-
vanced by the government and to be
repaid by the land owners. The dis
trict agreed to all terms and at all
times stood ready to proceed but the
government found that there was not
sufficient funds to put in the res
ervoir. Recently the government
notified the district that there are no
available funds and not likely to be
unless the present congress makes
specific appropriation for that pur-
pose Now the land holders included
in the district have decided that if
allowed to proceed themselves they
can furnish a reservoir system
through private enterprise and get
better results. As result they have
decided to make application to the
secretary of the interior for the trans
fer OF all right held by the govern
ment to the project 1t is this matter
that Dangberg will take up with Of
ficials at Washington.
1t is estimated that there are S.
900 acres Of land in Carson Valley
that will be within the district $4,000
Of which is under cultivation and Is
GOO acres that may be reclaimed,
Some reservoirs already have been
constructed and the plan includes the
construction OF additional reservoirs
back,in the mountains. The govern
ment scheme would have embodied

REDUCED RATES
REFUSED BY R. R.

The railroad administration al
Washington has denied the petition
made by the Mason Valley Mines
Company for reduced rate on ore
shipped from Paxton, Calf, to the
Wabuska smelter, according to a let,
ter received by ]. f. Shaugncssy, the
chairman of the state railroad COM
mission. The railroad administration
holds that it cannot grant the petition
because there is an existing contract
with the Utah smelter to haul the CON
centrates from Paxton to the Utah
smelter till November I, 1920.
The hearing on the petition was
held several months ago at San Fran
cisco, members Of the state railroad
commission and officials Of the Mason
Valley Mines Company, represented
by S. w. BeI7ord, appearing before
the district freight board. The smell
ter company showed that in case the
lower rate on ore was granted il in
tended to put in additional verber-
ators so as to handle custom ore.

TEXAS OIL MEN
IN FALLON DISTRICT

The Eagle" is informed on good
authority that prominent Texas oil
neople have become interested in the
Fallon oil field and are quietly dem
onstrating their faith by the shipment
IF seven carloads of machinery and
oil drilling equipment, all of which
is now on the way. 1t is further
stated that the experienced drilling
crews Of men are now in Reno, and
Just as soon as the equipment is land
ed active operations will. begin.
Needless to say these successful
oil operators are not coming into this
field blindly: but on the contrary it
IS stated their experts have visited
the Fallon field AM made reports to
the oil capitalists who are back d.
the movement.
Day by day these new evidences Of
faith in the ultimate development of
oil i'll the Lahontan valley and adaj-
cent hills is manifest.

WANTS
ROAD NEAR TOWN

That Fernley will refuse to cooper
ate in the issuing oil bonds for Lyon
county's share Of the expense Of the
| construction Of the Lincoln highway
| through, that county unless the high
! way is built near its present location
| instead of two miles north, where
present plans Of the state engineers
office have its location mapped out,
was the recent statement OF member
of the Fernley Farm Bureau, which
took up the matter with Gov. Boyle,
says the Gazette.
The present location Of the route
runs through the heart OF fernley,
and if the change OF route to Dr.
rect line from Wadsworth, one mile
west OF Fernley, to Hazen, six miles
east Of T'ernley. is carried out the
highway will be OF no lQcal benefit,
the Fernleyites assert, but Will be OF
use only to transcontnentalt travellers,
The farm bureau OF Fernley expresses
itself willing to assist the state en-
gineer in obtaining right Of ways
through property owned by Fer1lley
ranclers, so that the present route
will be improved by certain cut-otts
and easement OF corners.
A statute passed by the last legisla-
ture provides that each county shall
pay one-fourth OF the expense OF the
construction of the portion of the high
way included within its bonds, If all
benefit from the highway is to be
taken awey from Fernley by dis
lance Of less than two miles, the mem
bers OF the farm bureau say that Fern
ley is not desirious OF cooperating iii
the issuance Of the bonds.
Fernley is also making an effort to
have the Overland Trail join the Lin
coin Highway at point near the
center OF lcIlley, lol tlliS JuhSlioil -
required by law to be at some point
between Fernley and Hazen. There is
an effort being made, backed by Love
Jock, it is said. to have the junction
two miles north di Fernley.
A committee consisting OF William
Clutch, president Of the Fsrnley farm
bureau; w. A. Hardy. George Steele
and w. II Austin, interviewed Gov.
Boyle today oil the question OF the
route OF these highways. The high
way committee OF the Fernley farm
bureas is, w. A. Hardy, George
Steele, w. Cogswell Charles Stock
