Mr.. Smith stated that the teacher

City to Borrow From
The Banks of FaIIon
City Makes Inducements to Pay
Cash For Sidewalk Con-
struction

The city council held a regular
meeting Tuesday evening, the chief
business of the evening having to
do with the allowing of the current
bills. Burr & Jensen were granted
card table licenses. this being the
sole order made. A Southern Pa
cifc representative appeared and
asked for the extension of the sew
er line from Taylor street to the de-
pot to serve the railroad company's
buildings and the growing neigh
borhood nearby.
1t was decided BY the council to
grant an eight per cent discount to
property owners served by side
walks on the construction cost in
the event cash is paid rather than
meeting the charge in ihstalments.
It is figured that this may prove in
centive for cash payments which
would replenish diminished i'm
provement fund and help to meet
the cost OF installing crosswalks In
different parts OF the city, the cost
of which must be borne by the city.
The Bank of Fallon and the
Churchill CoHnty bank have agreed
to loan the city $4,000 under the
usual emergency terms. This loan
is to bear an interest rate OF eight
per cent and is repayable on Feb
ruary 4th. 1928

same time impossibility and invita-
tion. a paradox. and to the farmers
of the Newlands project. a mirage,
not unlike the deceptive lake of
ripping blue contained in the des-
ert landscape that appeared to the
eye of the pioneer immigrant of half
a century ago to befool his brain
and stimulate tired muscles to a
last effort.
And probably the story of Lake
Tahoe was never as fully told as on
last Friday afternoon; for there
were those at the hearing who
knew the lakes history from the
day it was discovered; they knew
how the watershed that annually
gives it tremendous runoff was de-
nuded of its forest and they knew
of the primitive and reckless meth
ods that characterized this defor-
estation; how sawdust was dumped
into the lakes waters until fish
were exterminated and a complete
disregard for the future manifested.
1t was the forbears OF the protest
ing Californians, who now want
Tahoe to remain undefiled and un-
tarnished. who thus despoiled the
thing they now cherish, according
to Governor Emmett d. Boyle who
spoke at considerable length and
said that his own father. resident
of Virginia City in the prosperous
days of the Comstock lode, proposed
during the seventies to drive a tun-
mel into the lake from the Nevada
side at a level 100 feet below the
lakes surface to get water supply
for Virginia City ITO the Nevada
legislatures infinite credit" said
the governor, my fathers petition
was denied" But the father OF
the present Mr.. Bliss said Cover
nor Boyle. was the man respons-
ible for the removal Of the timber
around the lake. an act just as de-
predatory as the one proposed by
my father"
Within the shadow OF the very
mountains that form Tahoe's east
ern restraint, billions OF treasure
was mined In the seventies and
eighties aud this wealth went to
build up California. Much Of II
was used to further the interests
of San Francisco and sacramento
the centers OF protest against the
practical use OF the lakes water al
the present time and Nevada's spirit
throughout the process was one ol

In fact a thing to be emphasized al
this time, that Nevada people neve'
protested the outgo Of treasure
from it's mines for expenditure In
California. And II this state were

ton. Plans Being Made

The commercial club meeting
held Monday evening developed u
strong sentiment for the holding of
a county fair next month. A farm
bureau delegation, headed by Coun
Ity Agent J. L. McGinnis, appeared
and requested cooperation in the
undertaking and 1t now seems cer-
tain that the usual portrayal of
county resources will occur. A com
mittee representing the commercial
body met with the farm bureau com
mittees last evening and plans were
made for the exposition. A suitable
fair manager, the usual committees
and an active publicity campaign
we're matters considered.
At last evenings meeting it was
decided to give the fair on Septem-
ber Is. 16 and IT. J. G. Jones was

The officials of the United States
reclamation service and the Cali
fornians who own Lake Tahoe
rights are about as friendly and
congenial as the European diplo-
matte family. This is the outstand-
ing fact adduced at the hearing held
in Reno last Friday afternoon at
the instance of the war department
OF the government, which was rep
resented by Col. e. e. Winslow, of
the engineering branch of the army.
Reclamation officialdom was repre-
sented by Director Arthur p. Davis.
Project Manager John F.. Richard
son and Engineer L. p. Osgood and
the farmers of the project were rep
resented by a number of the ablest
and most energetic of the land own
ers. headed by President Edmund
T. Dietz, OF the Truckee-Carson ir-
rigation district board.
One would think that long ac-
quaintance and continued mutual
interchanges between the Tahoe
property owners and the reclama-
ton officials would have brought a
fairer degree of understanding yet
another outstanding feature of the
meeting was the declaration by the
California spokesman, at the con-
clusion of the hearing that 1--WE will
treat directly with the farmers OF
the project; but under no circum-
stances will we enter into any form
of negotiations with the officials of
the federal reclamation service.

the other golf stockinged nabobs,
fresh from the links at Tahoe spoke
in derision of these needs. The con-
trast WAS emphatic to the minds of
those who understood and to these
the true significance of the situa-
ton was not lost. 1t is the old
story of political might reinforced
by unequitable laws and the Cali
fornians add resourcefulness to the
pot pourri.
Away back In 1904 the settle
ment of the Lake Tahoe rights
would have been comparatively
easy matter, say those who know.
The villa sites now held at a high
value were unsought and the re-
sorts and wharfage were few in
number. Truesdale was assigned
by the legal department of the gov
ernment to work in consonance with
the reclamation officials in the ac-

proposed to regulate within a six
foot variation. But Truesdale new
er ameliorated or placated. Trans
versely, he bulldozed and procrasti-
mated and made lifetime job OF
his assignment with results that are
nil insofar as this projects best in
terests are concerned. At no stage
of the proceedings has Truesdale
ever been within sight of his goal
and when Attorney Proskey, of San
Francisco, made the statement Fri
day afternoon that Truesdale had
offended the California contingent
by absurd statements and that he
had proposed and demanded for the
government the right TO regulate
the lakes surface within a varia-
ton OF ten feet. II was at this
