Nearly Two Inches
ofWater Fell Here
Storm This Week Heaviest in His
tory of the Newlands
Project

A storm that was general
throughout western Nevada pre-
vailed yesterday and up until noon
today bringing a precipitation that
Is without an equal as storms go
hereabouts since records have been
kept in this valley. Hay crops were
largely in the shock and these have
been damaged in all OF the several
project districts. Grain has also
suffered, many of the farmers
awaiting threshing operations with
their product in the field. while in
a number of instances sacked wheat
and barley lay out of doors and this
too will suffer. Melons and other
forms of local produce have been
more or less damaged, yet the ag-
gregate loss issuing from the storm
iss aid to be less than the unknow-
ing would imagine.
Roads have been rendered i'm
passable and but for the new side
walks in this little city the pedes-
trian would be fioundering when
ever he essayed To move about the
streets. The roofs and walls OF this
city's buildings of all classes have
been put to the seyerest test and
few have proven moisture proof,
many of the store, Office and resi-
dence interiors being more or less
awash this morning.
The cause is contained in just
an even LIS inches of rain that fell
yesterday and up until noon today,
when the storm had seemingly
broken. or the total, 81 of an
iuch fell yesterday. while during
last night and this morning an ad-
ditional 1.13 inches of water was
released from the clouds that gave
us the same overcast effect in the
heavens that prevails for several
months each year in the humid dis
tricts of the country.
Like the recent hot spell the cul-
iiihdtin6 10 hihhOat Rht
lei in Churchill county history, no
matter the season of the year,
while August records are SO en-
phatically shattered that compari-
son is impossible. No one here, not
even the oldest Pah Ute. can recall
when August ever served this sec
tion in such seuryy manner.
But the storm, like other evils,
brings degree of compensation in
its wake, for we again have lights
and power in Fallon as result of
the turning of the wheels at the La
hntan plant and 1t is asseverated
that service Is likely to be continu-
Gus from this time forward. Farms
at Fernley and other project dis
tricts served by the Truckee canal
have been thoroughly drenched and
a nominal flow of water will be
available for power development
purposes right up until cool wealth
er when an actual surfeit of aqua
pura will be on hand.

ALFALFA MARKET is SAID
TO BE IMPROVED

tAlfalfa Growers of California;
Lighter offerings by growers this
week, together with gradual
broadening of the general demand,
Including that for the ordinary
grades of hay. gave the alfalfa mar
Let an improved tone in most sec
tions OF the state.
This tendency is most marked in
the demand for the ordinary grades
which had been dragging for some
time; buyers are evidently coming
TO the conclusion that present prices
for these grades are attractive for
stocking up in view of the general
crop situation of alfalfa. In respect
to quality as well as quantity of the
production as whole.
Prices show no material change
in the Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco markets; in some of the inn
s portant producing and shipping sec
tions the stronger local and section
al demand brought prices there
substantially above the present
shipping parity of the central mar
kets.
The listings of hay by the Alfalfa
Growers Association Members were
light this week, still our total sales
throughout the State were of fairly
good volume, mostly of lots which
lwere brought out by our submis-
sion to growers of orders which we
had on hand.
The receipts of hay In Los Ange-
les for the week ending August 2lst
were very much lighter than the
week previous, being approximately
1000 tons with 100 tons held over
as against 1900 tons fer the week
ending August 14th.
There were 1870 tons received

itod to any of the several auxiliary
fair bodies, and it is given out that

sports line every minute OF the
three days of the fair. A total of
$1,000 will be awarded to the con-
testants in the many events, which
include brocho busting. races. dane
ing and other forms OF entertain
ment.
The biggest aggregate awards
will be made to the farmers who
bring in choice samples of their
husbandry, $500 to be thus given
out. Practically all of the enter
prising farmers of the project are
cooperating with the fair manage
ment to hte end that the pavilion
will be chock full of delighting ex-
hibits that will maintain this coun-
TVS position as the leading agricul-
tural county of the state of Nevada.
The events around which most
interest will center are the bronco
busting contests in which there has
already been entered such popular
favortes as George Adams, ex-state
champian, and Albesquaro who
took second prize at the recent
Reno exhibitions. Thirty trained
broncos have already been engaged.
Entries for these events are in
charge of Frank Hartman.
In addition there will be enter
tainment in the way Of automobile
and horse races to say nothing of
dancing every evening. In the
horse racing events the program
will include a one-half mile race
for thoroughbreds, one-quarter mile
race for saddle horses, one-half
race with lady mounts, one-half
mile parry race and a one-half mile
relay race, three changes.
Rolly Kolstrup is arranging the
automobile races which promise to
be one of the main attractions. A
silver cup Is to be put up to be con-
tested for by organizations in re-
lay race. Organizations that have
already entered are the firemen,
the athletic club and the American
Legion.
As the prizes are attractive In
amounts and the fair widely adver-
tised it is anticipated that big
crowds will attend and ample ac-
commodations for out-oftown visi-
tors are being arranged.
The fair is under the manage
ment of Mayor j. c. Jones. mana
ger; j. L. McGinnis, assistant man
ager and c. l.. Noble, secretary.

Local Firm
Plans Big Picnic
Hosts to This Community on
Labor Day

'Sno use, JUS 'sno use. The
committees in charge of the big
Gray-Reid picnic to be staged on
Labor Day thought they had every
thing running as smooth as John
DIS product when bang goes the
monkey wrench into the cogs. II
seems that there are others who are
quite as chesty as the bunch on the
corner The Churchill County
Bank was the first to yell discrimi-
nation" And so after a long con
ference between the committee,
Mr.. Couchman and Barney Meyers,
who will referee the wrestling
bout, it was decided to raise the
weight OF contestants to 50
pounds inorder to take the conceit
out of Bud Austin.
The Swimming contest will like
ly become a three cornered affair,
as the Legal Fraternity as well as
the restaurants felt that they had
not been treated fairly and SO il
looks now like Norman Haight and
Mrs. Moore will be pitted for hon
ors against Mrs. Latta. Rumor
has 1t that Fred Grob, George
Spreyer and Johnnie Birgyan will
enter the pie eating contest against
Harry Marsh. The Reclamation
bunch is up in arms declaring that
they Bhould be allowed to enter
any government employe and so
the committee has granted this
concession. George Likes and
Ada Canterbury will likely be en-
trants in the tug-o'war.
The Celebration coming as 1t does
the day before the primary cleo
tion, 1t will likely be made a
gathering place for candidates. In
deed, quite a number of them have
already signified their intentions of
entering the various contests.
