w. A. KEDDIE'S AEROPLANE!;
ARRIVED HERE YESTERDAY

Former State Senator w. A. Ked-
die received his new flying machine
last evening which was brought over
from Yerington by Aviator Will
liams, q former British army flyer,
counting four years of air expert
ence during the late awr, and Mr..
Keddie is preparing to use the ma
chine In the conduct of his stock
business In this state Having
ranches over the entire northern
half of Nevada Mr.. Keddie proposes
to establish landing fields and will
fly to and from the big ranches
rather than depending upon trains
and automobiles for his travel. He
has already started the clearing of a
field on the ranch here and will
build a hangar in the near future
where the aeroplane will be kept
when not in use,
Aviator Williams piloted the big
machine over Fallon last evening
and those who took note of II re-
marked on the extraordinary size of
the plane and the great speed at
which ii was driven. II was driven
over from Yerington in 32 minutes
which Is about six times as fast as
Mr. Keddie could have made the dis
tance by automobile.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
COMPANY PROTESTS TAXEs

The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company is again protesting the
payment of taxes on the valuations
at which its lands within this coun-
ty are assessed and has rendered
$12, 2,623.2l in settlement rather
than $20,70S.24. the amount actual
ly due. The railroad company's Of
ficials offer TO pay all special taxes
In full on the valuations as assessed,
but balk at the regular levies. The
railroad company, being bigger and
more resourceful than the indiyid-
ual land owner. can do things that
are entirely without the power of
the average man. proving that the
game OF follow the leader is not al
ways a game. but may be bunk.
/. When II Is considered that the
railroad lands In this county are as
sessed at $3.50 per acre, the fair
ness of the figure Is plain to the av-
erage mind when II is known that
the lands that have been sold by the
railroad company during recent
months have changed hands at sale
values usually several times In ex-
cess of the assessed figure, forming
the basis of the present protest
Not only does the railroad com
pany pursue a pslfadoxical policy in
the matter OF meeting its tax tithing
but II has violated from the day its
lands were placed on the market for
sale the congressional act that gave
title 10 the big Central Pacific land
grant.

"NORTHERN TRAIL" WELL
NAMED SAYS LOCAL MAN

The Northern Trail that leads
out from near Hazen across the des-
ert through Lovolock and thence
eastward comes in for excoriation
at the hands OF all cross the coun-
try travellers who have the misfor-
tune to be beguiled into its mazes.
DR.. c. 3. McCafferty, the dentist,
writes to the Fernley Enterprise as
follows: Talk about bad roads;
the -Fallon route Is q boule-
ward compared to the Loyelock- I'm
lay road. For distance OF IA
miles they are simply impossible.
The best time one can make Is about
two miles per hour. 1t Is certainly
shame that tourists are led by
Reno garage men to take this road
rather than the Lincoln highway
They are simply looking after Reno
interests, however, In order to bring
the travel that way rather than
through Carson City and by Lake
Tahoe. found many machines
broken down between Lovelock and
Inlay and long way from water
or help. The heat was So intense
that one could hardly Withstand 1t.
As for myself had very hard
time. Broke hub ON one of the
rear wheels, the wheel dropping of

A little later front spring gave

route should be brought to the at
tention of the Fallon commercial
club and published by the papers at
Fallon and Fernley."

SCHOOL BOARD MET TUESDAY

ward for the purpose of making
four additional classrooms possible

board is more or less puzzled over
the method to be pursued in get
ting the much needed classrooms
The growth of the school popula-
ton of this consolidated district has
been rapid and despite q we'll plan
ned school building program main
tanned throughout the past, many
children will be denied the class
room this fall unless the board is
able to proceed with its plans.
A tight money market, high in
terest rates and excessive building
costs combine to thwart school
building plans wherever they are
projected and this district finds IT.
self in a position entirely anala-
gous to that Of other rapid growing
communities. 1t Is now proposed
to sell the bond issue to the con-
tractor who will be expected to mar
ket the collateral. An appeal will
also be made to the public spirit of
the people of this community who
will be urged to purchase the bonds
as an investment. These will car
ry six per cent interest and certain
ly constitute an attractive form1Df
investment that should not be ne
gated by those who entertain fair
degree of loyalty to this community
and its interests.

THE LAST STRAW

Western Gamers viii aot pack
any heavy surplus of canned fruits
or other canned goods this year.
Leading Gamers, it is reported, will
pack only enough fruits TO cover
their actual orders in hand and do
not plan to put up larger quantities
and take their chances in disposing
of these goods in the open market
later.
The prices of all sorts of small
fruits are the highest on record this
year. The policy of boosting the
price to the limit by fruit growers
organizations may react to the det-
riment of the industry by curtailing
demand The present demand for
fruit and vegetable products has
been created by the Gamers through
their campaign to place these ar
ticles before world consuming
public in canned form. When the
cost of the raw material forces the
price of the canned product beyond
the purchasing power of the masses
direct injury will result to the grow
er. We may see an illustration OF
the straw that broke the camels
