NEVADA May PROVIDE HOMES
FOR MANY WAR VETERANS
Land Owners to Cooperate In Soldier
Settlement Colonization
Movement

A meeting of about twenty large
land holders and representatives OF
large land owners of the state with
the soldier settlement committee OF
the American Legion was held in the
supreme court chambers in the capi-
tai building yesterday The follow
ing gentlemen spoke and offered
suggestions during the delibera-
tions: w. c. Pitt. Jay H. Gem
mons, J. B. Gallagher. J. P. Wilson,
Frank Stickney, Warren Noteware,
c. A. Norcross, J. II. Van Nagell,
Archie Clayton and L. w. Crehore
says the Carson News.
The discussion brought out the
fact that most of the larger inter-
ests are willing TO offer areas OF
land with water rights to solder
settlement boards at very reason
able figures and terms, provided the
Federal government appropriates
the money as requested by the Le-
gion committee went into executive
session and after discussion drew up
resolutions embodying the needs ard
wishes of the ex-service men in Ne
vada, which will be forwarded t.
the national committee in Wahing-
ton for consideration and action.
In the general meeting land and
colonization conditions in practically
all of the principal districts of the
state we're described by land owners.
The fact was repeatedly emphasized
that no extensive colonization should
be attempted until the water rights
are finally adjudicated and the prog
ress of such in the various districts
was brought to the attention of those
concerned.
At the conclusion of the confer
ence on soldier settlement legisla-
tion a conference on war risk insur-
ance was held between members rep
resenting various Posts of the Amer
lean Legion throughout the state.
The accomplishment of the Sweet
bill, amending the war risk insur-
ance act was discussed fully and as
a result a much more comprehensive
understanding OF war risk insurance
is had by all members attending the
meeting.
The question Of Post activities
was discussed briefly and, as a re-
suit. the department post activities
committee will shortly hold a meet
ing and outline definite plans to in
cite interest in various posts
throughout the state.

WATER PROsPECTORs APPLY
FOR MUCH LAND IN NEVADA

Applicants for lands under the
Pittman act passed by congress and
enabling entrymen to prospect for
underground sources of water supply
for irrigation purposes deposited
more than four hundred dollars with
the officials of the United States land
Office In Carson City Saturday. As
the sum of one per cent per acre is
paid on each application little fig
uring shows that the total acreage
covered by the applications is equal
TO a tract of land one and two-thirds
townships In extent.
The tracts taken up we're scatter
ed, and located all the way from
Pahrumph, in the southern part OF
the state, to Denio. up near the Ore
von line. The greater number OF
entries seems to come from Clark
county and from the northern parts
OF Humboldt and Washoe counties.
Many applications are coming In
from the Rawhide district and from
the country between Fallon and
Austin.

FALLON NOW IN LINE TO
GET WIDE PUBLICITY

A. J. Moore through the medium
of the Fallon News Bureau Bulletin
and syndicate letters has been able
to give the Fallon oil fields wide
publicity. He has secured front
page stories in New York, Denver
and other points. He is now furn-
ishing a weekly oil news letter to
eight Nevada and twelve eastern
papers. In order to carry on his
work even more successfully he is
now devoting his time exclusively to
publicity. Several of the local oil
companies have retained his services
by the month. Oil operators who
have been in New York and other
eastern points report that heretofore
Fallon has had no publicity at those
points and Mr.. Moore's efforts are
greatly appreciated. Mr.. Moore
states that at first 1t was hard to
break into the eastern papers but
now they are writing him to furnish
them with Fallon oil news.

AFTER MARCH FIRST

In accordance with the proclama-
tion of the President, the United
States Railroad Administration will.
on March l, cease to be the agent of
the Government in the operation OF
the railroads. The proclamation,
however, empowers the director gen.
eral to liquidate the affairs of the
Railroad Administration, and to this
end a skeletonized organization will
be maintained.
The regional directors offices in
New York, Philadelphia, Roanoke;
Atlanta, st. Louis and the two In
Chicago will be abolished, although
1t Is possible one or two representa-
tives will be maintained In these cit
les to represent the Central Admini-
stration, specially in connection with
legal matters. All files in the reg
ional directors offices will be trans
ferred to Washington, where, togeth-
er with the files of the Central Ad-
ministration, they will be maintain
ed in good shape, available for inn
mediate access as occasion requires.
Some portions of the Central Ad-
ministration will be abolished inn
mediately, while others will have to
be continued to liquidate affairs OF
the Railroad Administration; ac-
counting and legal matters will have
to be given special attention.
AS of January l, 1920, 1862 en-
ployees were engaged In Washing
ton or were at work throughout the
country but carried on the Central
Administration payroll. On the
same date 1876 employees we're en-
gagged in the seven regional direc-
tors Offices. The total number thus
directly on the payrolls Of the Rail-
road Administration was 2S48. This
number. of course, will be rapidly
diminished Immediately after March
LIST.

WILL REGULATE WIDTH OF
WAGON TIRES IN THIS COUNTY

A county ordinance is being pro-
posed that will regulate the width of
tires on wagons operating on the
roads within this county, 1t being an
aim to prohibit the drawing of heavy
loads over the county's roads on ve-
hicles having less than a prescribed
width of tire. This move is being
projected upon the direct advice of
the state highway authorities who
assert that the best hard surfaced
roads constructed under their aus
pices viii not withstand the methods
characterizing hauling in this and
others of the counties of the state.
The ordinance will be ready for pub
lication within a short time.

Evening Was Largely Attended and
Important Matters Considered

A largely attended commercial
club meeting was held at the rooms
in the Palace block Monday evening,

ed meeting characteristic. The jap
anese question was revived and in

ton. japanese are not wanted

text formerly voted. The signs are
to be endorsed by the Churchill
County Chamber of Commerce, the
Churchill County Farm Bureau and
the Churchill County Branch of the
American Legion.
The members of the club declared
in favor OF project drainage as pro-
posed by the Truckee-Carson irriga-
tion district board and put forward
the suggestion that the water distri-
button system OF the project be con-
crete lined at the earliest possible
date. II was asseverated at Monday
evenings meeting that the loss In
flow In the Truckee canal between
Derby and the Lahontan dam reach
es as high as 40 per cent during the
warm period of summer and that
drainage will never be fully effected
until all canals and laterals have
been concreted.
The matter of moving the Fallon
stockyards from the western limits
of town to the eastern was again
brought up and it is proposed to ac-
lively revive the project. 1t being as
serted that stockmen generally de-
sire the change.

mittee of the club. the members OF
which are I. II. Kent. c. w. Foote,

THE WEST ALWAYS LEADS

In proportion to population the
west is doing more to better highway
conditions than is the east; this Is
not only a result of necessity but the
keen realization of the benefits of
proper highways and the desire of
the western states to stimulate
through travel, which will bring
them new population and new
wealth. Highway Forum.
