all over the state, and especially in
Elko county, according to the Elko
Free Press. William Barows, one of
the Metropolis farmers who has been

COMMUNITY CENTER
. COMMITTEES NAMED
Especial Correspondence


ORAvADA. New, March S.-The
regular monthly meeting of the Ora
vada Community Farm Center was at
tended by quite a number last Satur-
day. A short address by the presi-
dent showed us the advantage of all
farmers organizing and cooperating
to become a part of the Nevada state
farm bureau. thereby receiving proper
instructions and demonstrations from
the state.
A gos. roads committee was APP
pointed to start something" in re-
CARDS to better roads. The comittee
of three is: V. Gray, H. Blought and
II. Loest. c. X. Norris will act in
place OF H. Loest till the return of
the latter.
Another committee was appointed
to make a good research for better
irrigation adapted to our valley. 1t
is interesting to note that the yearly
evaporation from the ground of the
state is 5.016 inches, according to the
state experimental station. The COM
mittee on irrigation is: r. c. Vande-
berg, Mrs. Norris and l. J. Stude-
baker.
A farmers telephone line was
talked of and met with favor by
everyone and at the next meeting we
will make definite plans, determine
costs and time for starting installa-
tions.
James Edmunds of Winnemucca
was present and gave convincing
talk on irrigation and the advantage
of getting the water first. OF course
we are aware that most folk call us
dry farmers but they are grossly
mistaken, for there is not one dry
farmer in the valley. If we are dry
farmers, then the whole state of Cali
fornia is comprised of dry farmers.
We all intend to irrigate. therefore
are not dry farmers. Mr.. Edmunds
also said the better process for grow
ing alfalfa is to check the land, level,
then flood it. level again as the first
flooding settles the land more in some
places than others.
Please, everyone remember that the
last Saturday afternoon of each
month is community day" All far
mers and wives are invited to join
from mountain range to range. to the
Oregon line on the north and just be-
low Amos on the south. Come and
take an interest for yourselves; il
you don't no one will for you. All
visitors are welcome.

MARY P|CKFORD GOT
DIVORCE At M|NOEN

When Mary Pickford Moore, "Ameri-
cas- Sweetheart" obtained her divorce
in the district court of Douglas
county Tuesday even the attaches of
the court did not know they were
witnessing the divorcing of the mo-
tion picture star. This was admitted
by Hans Jensen, clerk of the court.
Desertion was the grounds for the
divorce.
Mary appeared dressed shabbily
and Owen Moore was not in court, but
was represented by his lawyers. No
request was made to allow her to
resume her maiden name nor for ali
mony.
The rumor has been rife for the
past month that Mary Pickford was in
Douglas county and would apply for
a divorce, says the Carson City
Appeal, but as this was denied from
several sources, the matter slipped
past the people, and only in the last
few days has it developed that she
has been residing at the Campbell
home at Genoa for the past several
weeks.
II the story going the rounds of
theatrical circles is true Little
Mary" will soon change her name to
Mrs. Fairbanks.
The screen favorite told her story
to the court through tears. She
wept freely during the recital of her
wrongs. She testified that Moore had
deserted her on several occasions and
had returned only after she made re-
peated pleas for him to do so. She
declared that about one year ago he
had left her and refused to return.
After the decree had been granted
Miss Pickford returned to the Camp
bell ranch, where she told the court
she expected to remain for some time.
She declined to discuss her case after
she left court.

done of the Davis Oil Shale and Re-
fining Company left last Wednesday
for Salt Lake City, hence they will
proceed to their oil property in Unita
county, Utah. They will, as soon as
a Keystone or Starr rig can be pro-
cured, start drilling in this shallow
territory.
Charles w. Kinney, one of the
pioneer and largest locators of oil
lands in the Fallon field, is planning
a trip to New York City and other
points in the interest of his Diamond
Salt Company. This property is one
of the largest salt deposits in the
United States and is classed as nine
ty-nine per cent pure salt 1t is es-
timated that at this surface deposit
there are between 6O,000,000 and 100,-
100000 tons of salt that requires but
little treatment for market. 1t is
mined" by scrapers and loaded by
elevators, sacked by machinery and
hauled to the Fallon depot by motor
trucks at the very lowest cost. 1t is
estimated that the salt deposit is be-
ing added to at the rate of 100000
tons annually by the salt water
springs.
The Churchill County Oil & Gas Co
has purchased Starr rig which will
soon be installed to supplement the
work of the rig already drilling at
the Williams ranch.
The Capitol Oil Company and the
Nevada Peerless, both companies of
Carson City, are preparing an active
campaign. The Fallon Oil & Gas Co.
has purchased heavy rig and will
drill near their present well, which
is down about 700 feet.

NEWS OF PROGRESS
IN FA[LON OIL FIELD


FALLON, Nevada, March 3.-F. E.
Gurnsey of many years experience
as an crerator in WomiIg snd Texas
fields, is here on hunt for proper
ties and field connection. He heard
of the Fallon field when in Oklahoma
a few weeks ago. A gcologist first
told him of it and he began inveati-
cations which resulted in his re-
moval here. In speaking of oil booms
he said, 1T is only about two and one
half years ago that Wichata Falls
was a sleepy little town not nearly
as large as Reno. Today it is big
city of over $4,000 people. One may
guess from that how real estate has
doomed and what high prices rentable
property commands. When the boom
started the hctolc and lodging hous es
were filled as fast as tllCy were built
with stock statesmen, buyers and ell
sorts of newcomers. All one needed
was blue print and nirnble fingers
to count the money, as nearly every
cne paid in currency. 1t was nothing
unusual to see buyer go from one
salesman to another and take on a
bunch of stock from each All that
was asked was to see the blue print
to get the location and the answer
would be, III shoot a hundred or two
with you From what l have learned
of the Fallon field / expect to see the
same conditions repeated here. One
has TO go through an oil boom to
really know what they are, and the
excitement thereof"
One of the many Californians who
hes demonstrated his faith in the new
field by investing his money in both
stocks and oil lands, is Judge Morrow
of Westwood, Cal. He was one of the
first to buy in nd has just
purchased another 160 acres, which
with his already large holdings in the
Salt Wells district. including the In
1
groups makes him one of the largest
land holders in the district. Judge
Morrow is also editor and publisher
of the Independent at Westwood
which is famed as cne of the bigges
lumber camp towns in California.
W. B. Nichols & Sons have moved
into their new Office building which
was built for their exclusive use along
with the Big Four Oil Company, OF
which they are the fiscal agents. They
report big demand for oil lands and
oil leases of which they have made
! several big deals during the past
week. The sales are mostly to ou
side buyers and who for some reason
are keeping under cover as to just
who the real buyers are.
