Permission has been given by the
city officials to Caldwell school chill
dren to use the Lincoln school
grounds for an open skating rink. Wa
ter to flood the grounds will be prov.

CLUB ELECTION
COMES TONIGHT
Many Important Things Share
Interest In Annual
Event

Interest in the Commercial club
meeting tonight centers largely in the
election of officers, the annual event.
Efforts are being made to insure a
large attendance. Although there has
been little discussion, sentiment seems
fairly we'll crystallized in support OF
John Smeed, present president of the
club, to continue the office another
year if he can be prevailed upon to
take it. 1t is understood that the city
council and Mayor Grant Ward are in
sympathy with this movement on the
ground that Mr.. Smeed has proven an
exceptional executive to cooperate
with the civic governing body
Following a conference with the ho-
tel committee and several other lead
ing business men, Monday evening, it
is likely that another hotel building
proposition will be presented to the
club for consideration. Other import
ant matters along the same line that
will come up for consideration include
"a proposal from big eastern concern
to establish canning factory here and
another from a Utah concern looking
for field for the establishment of a
branch house for their produce bust
| ness.
Rest Room up Again.
New aspects of the rest room prob
lem were presented to the rest room
committee at special meeting held
at the club rooms Friday evening. R.
L. Field, local architect, presented
plans for building. estimated to cos,
in the neighborhood of $1,000. To the
construction of such a building the
city council has already made an APP
preparation of $500 and some action
is desired before that appropriation
lapses.
Something new developed at the
meeting when the farm bureau Off
GERS, now quarters on the Commercial
club floor expressed a desire to OBJ
tain a ground flooz office site. 1t wa.
suggested that if the additional mon
ey were advanced to insure the con
struction of the building to include ;
rest room and quarters for the farm
bureau, that at nominal rental, thu
funds advanced might be returned
When the entire amount advanced i
returned by this means, it is pointe'
out, the farm bureau will be we'll quar-
tered and will have the use OF thei
rooms with out having a continue
burden of rent.

BRIGHT LITTLE BOY
PASSED ON MONDAY

The passing of Charles. twelve
year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ
Heller, of this community, occurred
at San Francisco hospital Monday
evening following long illness of
empyemia. Both Mr.. and Mrs
Heizer were at the bedside of the
little fellow when demise occurred
Charles was particularly bright
and lovable child and everyone who
knew him admired his. manly attri-
butes. He was sturdy and fond of
athletics in advance of being strick-
en- last November and since that
time he made a gallant fight for
life. He underwent uncomplaining-
ly numerous operations for the re-
lief of the lung affection and strong
hopes were entertained for his COM
plete recovery. Complications en-
sued last week. however, and the
promising little life was taken.
Charles was the only son of the
family and there are none but who
will share the grief of the relatives
One can only wonder why so prom

PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS
ARE II PER GENT HIGHER
ment Purposes VIII BE Raised
This Year

The state board of equalization
recently ordered raise in property
valuations for assessment purposes
this year and County Assessor II. A.
Morton and his list of deputies are
now afield seeking 10 comply with
the edict of their superiors in Car
son City Assuming that last year S
assessed valuations were made on a
basis of 80 per cent of the actual
market this years must 60 on the
books at full 100 per cent value
and Mr.. Morton says that the
raise will actually figure out some
thing like ] / per cent. He is not at
all enamored of the idea of raising
valuations, maintaining that the
rates of former years are high
enough for all practical purposes,
but he has no latitude in the matter
and is telling those whom he serves
the facts.
This late raise means that Church
i'll county will put forward this year
for the first time an assessment roll
representing values in excess of $10,-
000, 200, albeit there has been no
reduction in the tax rate.

FALLON FLOUR Mill
WHOLLYDESTROYED
LOSS APPROXIMATING 500, 900
OCCASIONED WHEN FIRE OF
UNKNOWN ORIGIN DESTROY
ED BUILDING AND CONTENTS
ENTERPRISE TO Be REVIVED
ID. Mccall and Associates Will Prob
ably Rebuild and Rehabilitate to
Give Farmers Market

The Fallon Touring mill plant
in the industrial section of
Fallon just north of the railroad
track, was totally destroyed by fire
early this morning, the blaze start
ing from a cause which is not defi-
nitely known. The loss sustained by
d. Mccall and associates, owners of
the enterprise, is said to approx
mate $4,000, of which something
like $4,000 was in grain and manu-
faetured products. The building
was erected and equipped during
the summer of 1915 and cost at that
time in round numbers $4,000
Recently the erection OF a ware
house addition to the mill was un-
dertaken and this was practically
completed when the fire occurred.
The electric wiring had been chang
ed and il is presumed by the night
caretaker of the premises that the
switchboard being wrapped in
flames as he emerged into the main
room of the building The flames
spread very rapidly and aid had not
arrived following the turning in of
the alarm before the entire building
was ablaze. The efforts of the fire
department were directed at keep
ing the fire from the Kent Company
lumber yard buildisgs and the
Western Meat Company's alfalfa
meal plant, both within close prox
unity. Only favorable air current
made this possible, in the minds of
those who witnessed the confiagra-
ton.
The Touring mill company carried
insurance amounting to $4,000 on
the building and machinery and the
stock Is said to have been fairly
well insured The main loss arises
from the destruction of the building
and machinery which could not be
replaced for less than doubleA the
cost when the plant was erected
Mr. Mccall was the chief stock
holder of the company, and lately
bought considerable stock from his
business associates. He was in Reno
when the fire occurred this morning
Those familiar with his plans and
ambitions are certain that he will
set about and erect new milling
plant on the site of the one destroy
ed, using a type of construction that
will be fireproof

A SURFE|T OF WATER HERE WHILE
DROUTH IS IMMINENT ELSEWHERE
Lah0ntan Reservoir Will Be Running Over the Spllways
BY June lst and Lands of the Project
Are Assured Ample Water

Offices here show that 1t does not al
ways happen that the total Carson
river watershed runoff will fill the
Lahontan reservoir. for the Carson is
an extremely capricious stream. In
1912 its contributing territory gave
off but scant 10000 acre feet,
while in 1907, the year of the flood
in Fallon it poured forth a volume
that totaled 10000 acre feet, with
an average annual runoff of 400,-
600 acre feet. proving that during
short years there will not exist a sur
plus for storage in the upper Carson
valley for uses in the Gardnerville
and Minden vicinities.
II is said that about $4,000 acres
of land lying within the Fallon unit
of the Newlands project will be irri-
gated this year from the Lahontan
supply and that more than 10000
acre feet of the stored supply will be
carried over unused.
Discussing project irrigation, Wa
ter Master w. A. Simmons yesterday
said: ''The total amount of water
delivered to farms in the project last
year was 125,000 acre feet while
%. 900 acre feet were lost in the dis
tribution system through ssepage
and evaporation. The evaporation
amounts in this latitude to about 10
per cent. while the remainder must
be charged against seepage. Con
crete lining of canals is thus seen to
be desirable whenever the project 5
development has arrived at stage
that will warrant the necessary out
lay which at this time would be in
excess OF $4,000 per acre for all of
the lands within the project. Nor
would the canal Innings care for any
save the flow lost through seepage.
There is still the matter of taking
I..ft oil
Ia the farms, while 1t is beyond the
power of man to avoid the loss oe-
casioned by evaporation.
