OIL WELL MATERIAL
ON WAY TO SULPHUR

Material for the first well to be sunk
for oil at Sulphur will be on the
ground by June /, according to G. w.
Swager, who came in from Sulphur
yesterday, and drilling will be COM
menced as soon thereafter as possible.
This drilling will be done by Kerr &
Co. of San Francisco, as previously
announced.
Renewed interest in oil possibilities
at Sulphur is noted by Swager and
many more oil men are on the ground
endeavoring to obtain acreage. The
oil leasing law slowed matters up
considerably at Sulphur, because no
one seemed to know just what effect
the law would have on late locations.
Swager has received assurances from
Senator Henderson that committee
meeting will be held this week to start
work of amending the law, specific
points being that it is retroactive and
will be made to read April /, 1920,
instead of October /, 1919, as to rs
application to locations since October
]. Effort will also be made to do away
with the $1,000 bond with application
for lease.

CIRCUS HAD AWFUL
TIME PLAYING HERE

Spreading rails, four drawbars
pulled out and valuable horse down
en- route tells the story of delay m
Barnes circus yesterday. The cars
did not pull in until after 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, necessitating aban
donment of the parade. The band,
however, gathered around the victory
pole at Bridge and Third streets about
6 o'clock. 1t was pretty good band,
as circus bands go, and furnished
some classical music. but remarks
were heard that it didn't come up to
Winnemucca's band for real music.
The big show got started about 1880
and was rushed through as rapidly as
possible, much of it no doubt being
omitted. Because of wind the big
top was not put up. 1t was a good,
clean show, and the promised spec
tacle'' of alice in Jungleland" would
have been good had Alice not thrown
q bunch of fits after she woke up, all
of which didn't get over very well.
But all in all, Barnes has a very
gocd circus. One gratifying feature
is a clean bunch of executives and
an apparent desire to keep down in
cidents which tend to create distrust
in circus people.
One woman rider was injured Ly
being kicked in the head by horse.

VIEWS ON
OIL STRIKE THERE

The genuineness of the Fallon oil
field was fully demonstrated Mondpy
when the drilling crew in charge CT
operations on the Fallon Oil Com
pany's ground in the anticlins dis
trict. south of Saltwater, encountered
genuine oil pool at a derth OF 654
feet, says the Fallon Standard. Oil
men who have seen the drilling re-
suits maintain that the well, as it
is today. will produce at least twenty
five barrels daily and that the main
oil body still lies underneath to be
penetrated when additional depth has
been reached. The results reward
hardihood and belle gloomy fore
bodings, both being part of the early
efforts to develop the Fallon field,
now admittedly one of the most prom
ising in the entire country.
Money has been put forward un=~
grudgingly by confident investors VINO
were undaunted by the adverse re-
ports of near-experts, many of whom
went to Fallon to serve others pos
sessed of Interior motives and the
stockholders of the Fallon Oil Con-
pany, pioneer in the field, and the
other enterprising outfits that have
persistently stuck to their guns, now
have complete assurance that they
will reap rich reward for their op-
timism. The Fallon Oil Companys
stock, that a few days ago went beg
ging, in figurative sense, for takers,
at 10 cents per share, was sold N
large amounts Monday evening, fol-
lowing the receipt of the driller's log
for that day, at is cents, the offices of
Wayne Young, the company's presi-
dent, Hicks & Swan and the Fallon
Oil Exchange being filled throughout
the evening by people anxious to buy
and they did buy. The stock of the
Fallon Oil & Gas Company was raised
yesterday to 25 cents, President
Young Withholding the advance for
day in order to give Fallon people

that ruled in advance of the discovery
that has put the Fallon field fairly
and squarely on the oil map of West
ern America and placed Nevada with
in the list of oil producing states.
The discovery marks new epoch
in local history and pressages rapid
development of every form of p0-
tentiality. It's far reaching effect can
not be forecasted at this early date,
but there are those who assert that
as matters stand today it is not FAR
cry of metropolitan proportions that
will vie with Reno in population and
comercial importance.
W. s. Boggs, a prominent San Fran
cisco oil man, who has been active IN
many Western fields, a visitor in Fal-
lon for the second time within two
months, had the following to say
relative to the Fallon discovery:

MADE LADIES SAY PLEASE
AND THANK YOU AT DANCE

The Leap Year dance given by the
Rebekah lodge in Winneva hall last
night was largely attended. Rules
were fairly well observed, some of
the men going so far as to insist that
the ladies say please when asking FOR
a dance and thank you afterwards.
The women were game, however, and
even went so far as to furnish ap-
plause for encores. Miss Leroy and
Oscar Reinhart furnished the music.

NEW YORK WEEKLY
SLAMM|NG NEVADA

America" weekly ia. er pub
lichcd in New York City, wakes ex-
ceeding wrath over the Mary Pick
ford case. In an editorial boil-over,
entitled "Celluloid Love-" the editor
runs the gamut OF villitication and
ridicule. Here Is his article:
When the state of Nevada under
takes to investigate divorce and sub
sequent attempt at remcrriage, 1t is
plain that there is something rotten
in the state of Nevada. For of all the
pcst-holes that are making this coun-
try G scandal in the eyes of civilized
nations, Nevada is the most open and
the most disgusting. South Carolina
grants no divorces, whatever be the
cause alleged. New York has, in
theory, a rigorous procedure. But
Nevada sewers the marriage tie in re-
turn for a legal residence. more or
less fictitious, of few weeks, more,
rather than less. fictitious reason.
anu d ucClucuiy uuHCtltiOuS lCC. We
vada is free to do all this if she
wishes. Nothing can change her, ex-
cept higher sense, almost ap-
preaching the elemental, of morality.
But no decent person is forced to
take advantage of this public incite-
ment to immortality
1.-TWO individuals, stars of the flick
ering screen, have of late caused the
state of Nevada, lowly as is its moral
standard, 20 begin an investigation.
No one is called on to assign final
doom to these individuals, or to anti
cipate the findings in the case. They
may indicate collusion, fraud and
bigamy; they may find the culprit
more pure than the driven snow. But
the decent, self-respecting man who
occasionally takes his family to the
neighborhood moving picture thea
tire need not remain altogether silent
in face of this public sentiment. He
may even deem himself called upon
to make his disapprobation felt in a
very practical manner. Had this pair
engaged in systematic shop-lifting
their value to the film producer would
be precisely nothing. Had they
plotted to set fire to an orphan asylum,
their names would be in excreation
But they have done neither of these
things. They have only sought the
guarantee of law which tends to de-
stroy the scancity of the marriage
bond, and that respect for marriage
as distinguished from polygamy
! without which civilization is impos-
sible
"The favor or disapprobation which
they will now receive will register
the moral health of the American
people, who. in former days gladly
contributed to the enlargement Of
their bank accounts. Perhaps history
will repeat itself. There was a popu-
lar film star who, few years ago
threw off the mother of his children
to engage with another love. He nc
| longer flickers on a thousand reels
but amuses a small section of stock
company in a western town. Ever
from a financial standpoint, which
sive polygamy did not pay"
