WATER FAMINE SEEMS SURE
IN PACIFIC COAST STATES
California Cattle Suffer From
Drought; Electric Power Is
Menaced

Strict economy must be practiced
in concert by water and power users
in California this season to avert
disaster resulting from the water
shortage following succession of
three dry years, state railroad COM
mission engineers declared Monday
In q conference held to discuss the
situation. The San Joaquin Light and
Water Company is the concern most
affected at present, as its power load
must be cut in half at the end of ten
days unless rains come. according to
h. s. Ready, assistant chief of the
commission.
c. II. Lee, state water commits
sioner, reported that the situation in
the Sacramento valley was acute and
asserted that the planting of rice
must be lessened If shortage was to
be avoided The water commission
had limited diversions, he said, and
put checks on the use of water that
it hoped would enable irrigationists
to 90 through the year without a
shortage of crops.
He advised, however, the planting

water in the late summer.

WELL KNOWN GfOLOCIST
EXAMINES FALLOa OIL FIELD

The Nevada Consolidated Oil Cor
poration composed of wealthy south
ern California and Illinois business
men who were induced TO enter the
Fallon oil fields through the untir-
ing efforts of Geo Edison Porter, are
showing the field what quick action
means. Two days after their repre-
sentative, NJ. A. Dickson, closed the
deal whereby the corporation by ac-
tual purchase acquired 160 acres of
patented land. besides purchasing
the preferential rights on a large
acreage of selected locations near
the Carson Sink Oil Corporation
uplift." their geologist, VIM. Gier of
Los Angeles, an expert of many
years experience in oil and miner
ais, was on the ground. Mr. Gier's
examination was SO satisfactory that
he stated that the Fallon field was
destined to be a second Texas or
better. His full report which has
been promised to Mr.. Porter for pub
lication is awaited with keen inter
est BY the oil men of the district.
Mr.. Gier's reports in the past
have been accepted by Los Angeles
capitalists as the final word and a
favorable report OF this district is
sure to turn the attention of other
southern California interests to the
Fallon oil field.
Mr. Dickson leaves his week for
Los Angeles and promises that an
early date will see a standard rig on
the ground owned by this corpora
ton which will be equipped to go to
any depth necessary.

BOY NARROWLY ESCAPED
INSTANT DEATH YESTERDAY
Leonard, Five Year Old Son OF MIR.
and Mrs. George III. Chester
Hit BY Auto

An accident that might have been
fatal occurred in front of the Fallon
garage yesterday afternoon, result
ing in the serious injury of Leonard.
the five-year old son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
George II. Chester, of the Freeman
estate holdings near Saltwater. Mr..
Chester is the manager for the COM
pany owning the Freeman ranching
and stock interests and had come to
Fallon accompanied by his two small
sons. Stopping his car in front of
the Fallon garage he went inside on
a mission and in returning to his
automobile he was followed by the
little fellows. Other cars were park
ed in front of the garage which
served to obstruct the children's
view up and down Center street and
as they stepped out from in front of
one of the parked cars the younger
child was struck by a Hudson tour
ing car. driven by Miss Orva Will
liams. The impact broke two of the
little fellows ribs and badly lacerat-
ed his face and scalp. Mr.. Chester
rushed the injured boy to DR.. q. F.
Derby's offices where surgical atten-
tion was given to his wounds and he
was afterward removed to the Fall
lon hospital where he is being cared
for. DR.. Derby gave it as his opin-
ion that the wounds that are appar-
ent will not be fatal and that he viii
recover unless he suffered internal
injuries which can only be determine
ed by the passing of period of time.
Miss Williams was prootrated over
the unfortunate occurrence and col
lapsed when she arrived at the home
of one of her friends in this city.
Mrs. Chester, mother of the in
jured boy, will be home tomorrow
from visit with relatives in Santa

with the results noted
The ranch sold by Mr.. Wightman
IS one of the finest as we'll as the
first settled within this valley. Ii
was taken largely from the public
domain by the late d. M. Wightman
nearly half century ago and indus
trious effort throughout this period
served to bring 1t TO a high point of
cultivation. 1t comprises $40 acres,
of which 475 carry recognized gov
eminent water right. Six hundred
and fifty acres are in alfalfa and 1t
is said that between 5000 and 1000
tons of hay will be cut during the
present year, much of the acreage
not hitherto yielding the maximum
production being largely new seed
ing.
Mr.. Yarbrough is to have immedi-
tie possession and will turn the
property over to his two sons, now
engaged in rice farming in the Sac
ramento valley, who plan to develop
their newly acquired place into one
of the largest pure blooded stock

such effort and appreciate in fullest

HOOVER AND BRYAN ARE
GREAT POLITICAL FACTORS

C. d. Van Duzer, one time Con-
gresham from Nevada, is now in the
oil promotion business. He writes
the Standard that he has a record
of 81 wells drilled with no dry holes.
He is now operating properties in
Pennsylvania and Kentucky and is
watching developments in the Fal-
lon field with great interest.
Although long out of the political
game, he is still counted one of the
shrewdest observers of things polit-
ical In the country. Here is his fore
cast and comment of the situation at
this time:
Politics are mixed and the Devil
can't tell what is in store for us.
Hoover has immense independ-
ent strength and can win. Bryan
has rapidly regaining strength in
Democratic circles and must be rec
ognized. | am still 16 to 1 Bryan
man but am for Hoover for presi-
dent. Lowden has the inside track
for the Republican nomination, but
the Republicans have lost the conf
dence of the people by their petty
politics. Women, labor and inde-
pendent thinking Americans who are
tired of politicians and political par
ties, will elect the next president.

WALTER j. CRACKING WAS

Saturday, accompanied by his son,
II. G. Bracking. They visited the
companys well drilling plant during
their stay in this vicinity. 1t was un-
der Mr.. Bracking's guidance that
the Lahontan Oil Syndicate attain
ed prominence and he proved to be
an executive of high capabilities.
Since his retirement from the man
agement of the oil company, Mr..
Bracking has been giving his atten-
tion to the promotion of other COM
panies in which he is interested and
it is not unlikely that he may be i'm
pressed back into the service of the
