REVIEW Of FALLON
OIL WORK TO DATE
A GENERAL REVIEW OF ACTIVE
TIES IN THE FALLON OIL
FIELD; SCARCITY OF PARTS
CAUSES DELAY TO ALL WELLS
Especial Correspondence,

FALLON July Ex-senator Key
Pittman addressed the Fallon Oil Dis
trict Association, July 18th, on the oil
leasing bill. AS result of his ad-
dress, every company in the Fallon
field is speeding up that they may
not be accused of not using due dill
ligence in the prosecution Of their
work. Senator Pittman was the au-
pass congress one year ago and was
taken up by Senator Smoot, of Utah,
and very different bill enacted.
Senator Pittman explained that while
the new bill was not nearly so favor
able to the prospector as was his, he
voted for the Smoot bill, as he felt
that it was the best the oil men would
ever get The sentiment of conserva-
ton was growing every year, and each
year saw more restrictions placed on
prospecting for OIL
Accompanied by F. L. Strassburg,
The Fallon broker, and L. l.. Leonard,
field manager of the Diamond Oil
Company; II. H. Maxson, manager of
the Independent Petroleum Market
ers' Association and editor of the Pc
troleum World, made an extended
tour of the oil field He took two days
and made careful examination Of the
geological structure of the Fallon ba-
sin and personally visited every drill
in the field. He stated that he was
confirmed convert to the idea of
"oil at Fallon" This is most en-
couraging, as Maxson is a man of
great experience in the many oil fields
of the United States.
His first visit was to the Big Four
standard rig on the r. HI. Moore
ranch, two and one-half miles out
from Fallon. This rig will spud in

FRIEDMAN TERM To
END WITH ELECTION
CARSON PAPER EXPLAINS STATE
SENATE STATUS; FOLLOWERS
DIVIDED IN POLITICS.; SEVEN
TO BE ELECTED IN NOVEMBER

State senators are to be nominated
counties this year, says the Carson
News: Lincoln, White Pine, Nye, Min
eral, Lyon, Humboldt and Pershing.
The present senators from Lincoln,
INVITE Pine, Mineral and Lyon coun-
ties are Republicans. Nye county,
which was unrepresented in the sem
ate at the 1919 session, elected j. w.
Stewart, Republican. who died before
the 1919 session. Humboldt county
in 1918 elected Friedman, a Democrat,
who Is now the senator from Pershing
county, according to the law, until the
general election this year, when sena-
tors are to be elected in both Hum
boldt and Pershing counties. AS the
ten hold-over senators stand equally
divided on policies. Kent of Churchill,
Hesson of Elko, Ducy of Esmeralda,
Harrington of Ormsby and Kenny of
Storey being Democrats and Griffith
OF Clark. Dressler of Douglas, Rand
of Eureka, Macallen of Lander and
Cowles of Washoe, members of the
Republican party, in order to gain
control at the next session it will be
necessary for a party to elect at least
four of the seven to be chosen.
1t has often been predicted that
Pershing county will. in all likelihood,
be a Republican county. If such is
the case Senator Friedman succeeded
in getting a new county, but at the
cost of cutting short his term OF
office.

LEAGUERS
TO PRODUCE PLAY

The Epworth League of the local
Methodist church has for the past
year been looking forward to the Ep-
worth League Institute at Lake Ia
hoe, August 9th to 18th. Last year
the Winnemncca Epworth League won
the banner for numbers present, class
attendance and distance travelled.
To help in matters of expense in
the young ladies of the church have
arranged for a musical novelty called
the Peak Sisters which will be
given Friday night in the high school
auditorium.
The Peak Sisters" will bring back
in memory the days of forty years
ago. The middle aged will remember
the days of the old tine singing
school. The younger persons will hear
songs that are so old that they will
be brand new. The play was a great
success wherever given two genera
tions ago, and the Winnemucca girls
have entered into the work of prepa-
ration with the vim and enthusiasm of
our mothers with the result that all
who attend will thoroughly enjoy the
entertainment
Following is the program which
will be given.

STATE OFFICERS SHY
AT BOOZE FLAVOR

The following letter, written by an
Fastener, and addressed to "State
Prohibition Commissioner" was re-
ceived by Warden Heinrich, who is
ex-officio enforcement officer for Ne
vada, says the Carson News. 1t will.
no doubt, be highly interesting to
many who have acquired real thirst
since December. 1918. The letter:
Il will consider it a personal favor
if you will please inform me as early
as possible, whether or not the manu-
for making non-alcoholic beverages
and for fiavoring foods, etc, is per-
missible in your state to the ind-
yidual.
"The following favors are to be
made according to the general for
mula given below: Whiskey, brandy,
rum. port, sherry and claret wines,
etc
"The individual is to buy these
compounded favoring oils ready
made; the only part he takes in the
manufacture of the fiavors is to ada
glycerine.
These compounded fiavoring oils
which are manufactured by many
in the United States, do contain alco-
hol. but the writer considers them un-
fit for beverage purposes on account
of their high concentration of favor
ing matter This would also apply to
these favors after the glycerine has
been added.
When used as flavors they make
non alcoholic products. Inasmuch as
many firms manufacture the oils men
toned, the writer assumes that the
dilution and resale of same would be
permissible to the individual. How
ever, he desires to get started right,
and will appreciate your early reply"
Warden Henrichs transmitted this
unusual communication to the attor-
ney-general's Office for consideration
and answer. That official advised the
inquiring Fastener as follaws:
However. you do state that
these compounded fiavoring oils
which are manufactured 50 do con-
tain alcohol. but the writer considers
them unfit for beverage purposes
This statement makes your inquiry a
question of fact and could not be
answered by this department without
full analysis of the compounds
mentioned and testimony relating
thereto, as to whether or not the
same might be used for beverage pur-
poses. On the whole, cleaning
from your letter that the fiavors are
whiskey. brandy, rum, port, sherry,
and claret wines, etc, it is apparent
that a court and prosecuting Of
| fcer thereof would be required to
use the utmost caution before ruling
that such favors do not violate the
law"
The officials to whom the matter
has been referred are much interested
70 know what manner of compound
that contains alcohol when diluted
with glycerine produces something
non-alcoholic. Possibly the gentle
man has hit upon something that has
real kick" and that he wishes to
put on the market in this state.
