of which will be around $4,000.
Mr.. Roe expects to build home that
will cost between $4,000 and $4,000.

competent oil drillers of the Coalin-
ga, Calf, field, has been engaged to
direct drilling work.
The Pioneer Oil Company, largely
through Mr.. Heady's efforts, has
built up big treasury and the stock
offerings of the company have been
taken very seriously as bona fide
form of investment. The announce
ment that active development work
Ia about to be undertaken will un-

lar oil stock which may not be con-
tinued on the market for long at the
present price of 10 cents.

men on account of the special pro-
vision of lapsed War Term Insurance
which authorized reinstatement up
to December 81, 1919. regardless of
date of discharge, announcement is
made by Director r. G. Cholmeley

months following the month of dis
charge by merely paying the two

TO SUBMIT DRAINAGE PLAN
AND ELECT Three DIRECTORS
Truckee-Carson Irrigation District
Board Met Monday Afternoon
In This City

The members of the Truckee-Ca ar
son district board met Monday
afternoon and provided for the hold
ing of an election on Tuesday, April
9Th, when the water users of the
Newlands project will be. asked 70
pass upon a drainage proposal and
elect three directors to serve on the
board. Retiring directors are c. E.
Coe, of district No. 4, secretary of
the executive body at this time, w.
A. Pray, of Fernley, and True Ven
Gil, of Old River. In order to place
candidacy before the water users
IL will be necessary to file a petit
tion in accordance with the state $
irrigation law which provides for a
$25.OO filing fee.
The drainage election concerns the
most important proposal put for
ward in this valley since the irriga-
tion district was established. The
vitalness of the need for drainage
is generally recognized and the fact
that the secretary of the interior has
approved the form of contract pro-
pounded by the irrigation district
board is generally regarded as ex-
ceedingly good news by those anxi-
Gus for an early consummation of
the scheme. Under the terms of
this contract the government recla-
nation authorities will perform the
construction work to the extent of
the funds authorized by the water
users at the election TO be held and
the project manager here will col
laborate with the irrigation district
authorities in the fulfillment of the
plans now under contemplation.
Booklets, maps, copies of the pro-
posed contract and all of the neces-
sary explanations for complete un-
derstanding of the project will be in
the hands of the water users long in
advance of the date of election.
The irrigation board will meet on
Monday, the 23rd of this month, and
name the polling places for the cleo
tons and the officials who will
handle the ballots.
A request was received by the ex-
ecutive board last Monday from Full
ten H. Sears and others, of the dis
trict east of town, asking the exclu-
sion of their farm lands from the
scope of the irrigation district. The
opinion was rendered by the dis
trict's counsel that the petition did
not conform to the requirements of
the terms Of the states irrigation
laws and It was rejected for this
reason.

building construction work would be
in progress within the next two
weeks.
The present brick and stone busi-
ness structure is to be merged into
the new building, which will present
Maine street frontage of $50 feet
with depth of 100. feet. The base
ment and first story walls will be
built with view to adding an addi-
tional floor when local demands,
now rapid growing make the move
logical. A full basement is to be
provided underneath the new build
ing. waterproofed and so construct
ed that it will in reality be the first
floor of the big department. store.
Two new departments will be add
ed with the completion of the pro-
posed building. farm implements and
furniture.
The new building will be COR
structed of brick, stone, concrete and
stell and DIR. Reid, and Manager B.
c. Archer. of the local store, assert
that it will constitute Nevada's fin
est mercantile structure. They are
moved to make the large money out
lay necessary by the rapid growth
of Fallon and the bright promise
held out for the future within this
great federal irrigation project.
