CITY PARK HAS PROVEN
A SPLENDID CAMP GROUND

The city's camp ground in the
Oats Park has proven decidedly
popular place throughout the sever
al months of summer when travel
has been more general than ever be-
fore since the Lincoln Highway was
established Thousands have stop
ped over in the restful environment
and availed themselves of the good
water, shade, camp kitchen and rest
room facilities, ii frequently happen
pening that parties would rest there
for days from the effects of the long
ride across the desert as the way was
being made TO the Pacific slope.
One thing is certain, according to
Park Tender John T. Schneider and
that is that the park and its auto
camping ground have combined to
make Fallon memorable spot in
the minds of many travellers who
have told him that II is the one
pleasant apot that will be longest re-
membered by them.

DISTRICT IRRIGATION BOARD
HAS MOVED TO FIX COST

A committee from the member
ship of the Truckee- Carson irriga-
tion district board has submitted a
recommendation to the board which
IL adopted will mean definite plan
to govern in levying charges for the
drainage system proposed for this
project. 1t is proposed that each
and every acre of irrigable project
land, now on the plats, shall be
charged $10.02, payable in annual
installments, to commence probably
at the end of four or five years fol-
lowing the institution of drainage
work.
A great deal of study was given
the subject of assessments and how
to make them, the horizontal charge
finally being recommended for the
reason that any other plan seemed
to lead off into a maze of involve
ment that would probably be never
ending and that il contests are to
come they can most easily be fought
out on The basis OF distinct and
general good coming to every land
owner as a result of drainage.

PILOT EATON OF MAIL
SERVICE LOST TUESDAY

Pilot Eaton, of the government
air mail service took his allotment
of mail from Postmaster Fred
White at Reno Tuesday morning
and started east on the lap that
would land him in Salt Lake City.
But he left the main line at Hazen,
confusing the railroad tracks and
then veered off to the northeast
over the Carson Sink when he had
discovered his error. He was seen
in the northern sky Tuesday by a
number of the residents of the dis
trict north of Fallon. Yesterday a
government scout plane visited this
valley in search of Eaton and spent
some hours in reconnaissance but
without finding the lost aviator,
whom ii was later learned, flew
east over Austin and Eureka and
had not been heard from this after
noon.

ARE TALKING ON SUGAR
BETS TO VALLEY FARMERS

Thomas Dolf, True Vencil and
others representing the Churchill
County Commercial club have been
meeting with the several farm bu-
reaus of the project during late
days and talking sugar beets. Not
only have they been talking sugar
beets, they have been pleading sug-
ar beets, crying sugar beets and
emphasizing that TO allow sugar
beets to pass from without this val
ley as a distinct industry would re-
suit in dire calamity for us all. Suf-
ficient progress has been made by
the club committee in its interviews
with project farmers to warrant
the assertion, according to Club
Secretary w. X. Davis, that things
look very good" for the retention of
the big sugar factory equipment.
OF course, this is matter that will
correlate entirely around the fu-
ture activities of the land owners
in this project. If they grow beets
and produce the tonnage the fac
tory is ours; If they do not pro
duce paying seasonal tonnage
then no amount OF persuasion can
ever induce the factory owners TO
keep their investment here as an
idle enterprise"

Oil Field Operators
Waiting on Governmen,

The federal government is acting
In its usual slow and disconcerting
way in the matter of issuing oil
land drilling permits under the re-
Gently enacted law. A few permits
have come out of the official tangle
back In Washington yet many more
are still to come and several of
those who have substantial invest
ments in the field have undertaken
to hasten matters along.
Oil men in this section state that
there is very little likelihood of any
new developments for some time on
any of the land upon which appli-
cation for permits under the leasing
law have been entered owing to the
following recent ruling of the secre-
tary of the Interior;
Secretary Payne has ruled that
discovery of oil in territory now
subject to prospecting permits will
automatically invalidate all applica-
tions for permits pending at date of
discovery, so that every one who
starts or continues drilling without
such permit risks the loss of all his
investment and the loss of the
rights of all others within the dis
trict. If q company drilling with
out a permit strikes oil it will at
best have only the right to leasing
on a competitive basis.

AUTOISTS MEET
WITH MIsHAP SUNDAY p. M

The automobile In which Sam
Mizui local Jap laundryman and
two of his countrymen were return
ing to Fallon Sunday afternoon af-
ter short excursion to Reno. left
the state highway at point about
half way between the Carson river
and the A. F. Branch farm and
when Sam and his companions
came to they were trespassing on
Mr.. Branch's decided land many
yards off the state highway rightof-
way, flotsam and lotsam, seemingly
hardly worth gathering in Yet
strangely, all are on the road to re-
covery from their many contusions
and abrasions, coming back as rap
idly as France stepped out from
under the Bismarckian mailed fist.
Sam Mizui, the owner and driver
of the car, thinks somebody hit
him from the rear, knocking him
headlong from the highway; the
other members of. the party who
were victims of the catapult didn' /
profess any distinct remembrance
of what happened. They only
knew that they breezed along with
feeling of exuberance with Sam
at the wheel and home silhouetted
against the eastern skyline until
somebody blew the lights out. From
here they slept until arnica ap-
peared on the scene.
f. p. Strassburg, local realty
man, happened along and succored
Sam Mizui. The other Japanese
were returned to the mending de-
partment of the local laundry by
other automobilists who happened
along.

FALLON ATTORNEY GOES
MINING NORTH OF RENO

Edwin Bickmore of Fallon has
lreeently taken over the Silver Bios.
som Mining Company, which has q
valuable property about 20 miles
north of Reno. Mr. Bickmore had
built up good law practice at Fal-
Ion but the lure Of gold as he saw
it in the Silver Blossom led him to
give up his law practice and devote
his attention to the Silver Blossom.
He raised a good sum of money
among friends and will devote all of
his time to the development of the
Silver Blossom property. For that
reason he has removed his residence
from Fallon to Reno.
While the Silver Blossom proper
ty has been worked to some extent
in times past the present company
was Incorporated but recently, July
9th of this year 1t has a capitali-
zation of 100000 l shares par value
LOO. The work done already re-
yeals main vein from to 1 2 feet
wide running across the full width
of the 160 acres of patented land.
There is also a parallel vein ayerag
ing four feet across. The develop
ment work shows values running
six and one-half per cent copper
and carrying as high as 200 ounces
of silver and some gold values.
The old workings have been clean
ed out and day shift now at work
sinking the main shaft. Mr.. Bick-
more states that he will soon begin
shipping ore. The mine is within
easy haul of six miles to Purdy the
railroad shipping point.
Mr.. Bickmore has established of
fees in Reno and is now in Cali
fornia on business of the company.
While there he will appear before
the Incorporation Commissioners
and secure a permit to sell stock in
California. He has purchased an
automobile and on his return from
California will be in position to take
any person who cares to investigate
out to the Silver Blossom property

New Hotel
Fallon Hotel Company Has Reached
Point In Its Affairs That
Assures Hotel

Fallon's most urgent n d
known to every local mind as af-
fecting the hotel subject, Is about
to be fulfilled in manner that will
make us forget the long period dur
ing when the town was denied
what is generally deemed adequacy
of hostelry facilities. The Fallon
Hotel Company, recent incorpora-
ton, holds out sanguino hope that
the one outstanding gap in the
towns list of enterprises. Is about
TO be filled and the methods enter
tanned promise a hotel that will re-
| fleet credit upon the city and the
men who are behind the move to
do it justice with a caravansary of
the first magnitude.
Planning a structure to cost in
the neighborhood of 100000, the
sum of $4,000 is actually raised
and available for hotel building at
the present juncture with every pros
pect that the full sum will be sub
scribed within the very near future.

The benefits that would issue
from the building of a splendid ho-
tel in this city are too obvious to
need recounting at this time. 1t is
fact that Fallon probably stands
alone among the new and growing
towns of the west in it's emphatic
lack of hotel accommodations. Mr..
Lehners said: "Of course we are
tardy in ms turing a suitable hotel

things a due compensation attends.
Had the first-class hotel been erect

have been fashioned in all probabil-

Churchill County Shows Gratifying
Gain in Population in Past Decade
Despite Extinction Of Mining Camps, Increase
is Greatest Of any County in State, More
than Double the Census of 1910

Figures released by the census
bureau at Washington on last Fri
day afternoon show that this coun-
ty gained 1888 in population dur
ing the period between 1910-1920,
having at the time of the census
enumeration early this year 4,649.
This gain, though substantial, is not
as great as featured Fallon's growth
for the same period when the ad-
vance was slightly m re than 1000,
the accredited census figures show
ing this town to have 1853 men,
women and children as compared
to little more than 700 in 1910.
The best census takers in the world,
working honestly, usually overlook
certain percentage of popula-
ton, no matter where the enumer-
alton is being made. Figuring
those overlooked last spring and the
towns growth since that time and
people familiar with c. nditions here
assert that between 2250 and $500
people reside at this time within
FalIon's corporate limits of one
mile square.
II is generally believed that the
census bureau at Washington will
accord Fallon either fifth or sixth
rank in the states list of municipal
tiles. Reno is first, Ely probably
second, Tonopah third, Las Vegas
fourth, and Fallon fifth. unless it
should happen Elko or Winnemucea
or both counts more noses than is
believed to have been the case.

subdivisions are accredited with
