Water Users Must Unite to
Get Second Storage Unit

tanned in official minds, 1t will be
necessary for both old and new
lands to share in the cost of the sec
ond water impounding unit. 1t is
suggested that the new lands shall
bear a construction cost of approx
mately $4,000 per acre which sum
Is accounted a reasonable outlay In
Idaho and other irrigated districts,
while lands now served would be
called upon for an additional $1,000
per acre. Fernley, Hazen and
Swingle Bench land owners general
ly demand the proposed innovation
and have magnanimously sanction
ed the drainage project now about
to be undertaken for the benefit of
the Fallon unit served from Lahon-
tan reservoir. To give a due return
IL will be up to the water users of
this district to cooperate with their
less fortunate neighbors in broaden
ing the scope of irrigation possibili-
ty to the utmost
There Is available at this time In
the reclamation fund at Washing
ton the sum of 100000 for first
stage work at the Spanish Springs
site and ii is given out tn the sum
will be advanced whenever sanction
has been given by the water users of
the Newlands project
Ii is further emphasized that the
reclamation fund available for con-
struction purposes Is now in a state
of plethora, this happy condition
having been induced by the new gov
ernment oil land leasing law and
that should we fail to press the plan
To fully mature the Newlands pro-
ject at this time ambitious people in
other western states will quickly alb
sorb the surplus in schemes of their
own.
Already California interests have
moved to secure rights to a part of
the water supply of the Truckee
watershed and only prompt and
concerted action by people here can
save this supply for western Nevada
uses.

SCHOOL LUNCHES

Owing to the popularity of the
hot lunches served at the Oats Park
school last year the lunches will be
served again this year: Last year
the work fell rather heavily on the
domestic science department and so
this year the Red Cross and the
Parent-Teachers Association agreed
to hire the cooking done with funds
that are not charged to the cost of
the lunch. In this way the lunches
can be served at just the cost of the
produce used in their preparation.
Each day one hot dish will be
served at a cost of five cents per
dish. This will be soup, chocolate
or some such dish. Sandwiches will
also be served at five cents each for
those who do not bring sandwiches
from their homes. The idea of the
lunch is to provide a hot dish each
day for those who would otherwise
have to carry lunch. Some pupils
have to come long distance on the
trucks and have to get up very early
in the morning and for that reason
need something hot for lunch. In
fact every boy or girl who must
necessarily carry a cold lunch should
have a hot dish of some sort al
noon. The pupils may carry theil
own sandwiches, ETC., or purchase
them at the school.
Another innovation is that tn,
| lunches will he served at eacl
school instead of just at the Oat
Park school. The cooking will b.
done at the domestic science room
in the Oats Park School and will b.
carried in five gallon containers t,
the other schools and served hot
Thus no pupils will have to go t
any other building to get thei
! lunch.

Factory Plans
Are Perfected


Fred HinZe, manager of the La
hontan Valley Sugar Company. own
ing the beet sugar factory in this
city, said yesterday that the farm
ers of the project are sending in
new contracts for 1921 beet acreage
daily and that indications now point
to very successful and extended
manufacturing campaign next year.
There Is no doubt, according to Mr..
Hinze, about the local farming view
point. Farmers generally realize,
he said, the urgency of a new farm
gpolicy in this valley which will
bring a change from the one-crop
program of the past few years and
introduce a diversified production,
chief among which will be sugar
beets. The peculiar adaptibility OF
the sugar beet to the projects en-
virons means a seasonal production
of the highest purity and sugar
content, which means in turn, that
the farmers here will profit from
these dispensations.
Mr.. HinZe is in touch with his
Michigan associates and the con-
clusion has been reached to lose no
time in tuning up the factory or in
instituting repairs and innovations
which will make of the local factory
a sugar producing unit as good as
any anywhere. AS stated previous.
ly in these columns new beet sheds
are to be constructed and labor saw
ing machinery installed for unload
ing, and in the factory distinct i'm
proyements are to be effected and a
re-arrangement of certain of the
machinery brought about.
Up in Rigby, Ida, the Star. a
leading Idaho weekly. recounts in a
recent issue that the Beet Growers
Sugar Company paid out s400,0 900
in single day to the farmers of the
community and wage payments are
being maintained meanwhile to a
factory force of about ESQ. Such
an enterprise maintained regularly
in Fallon is going to bring unwont-
ed prosperity at this juncture in the
projects development and reason
ing people generally maintain that
the half-hearted support of the past
that has characterized the two at
tempts to operate the Fallon factory
is about to be succeeded by an hon
results in roundest measure.

FORMER FALLON PHYSICIAN
NOW In TEXAS OIL GAME

Dr. G. NJ Gardner, former Fal-
Ion physician, now one of the lead
ing medical practitioners of the city
of Reno, has fallen into cold turkey
in Texas oil venture which is
known as the Reno-Tex oil company.
This company's directorate in
cludes in addition to the doctor,
Judge G. F. Talbot, former supreme
court justice of this state, we'll
known here and recently elected a
state university regent, and Jerry
Poncia, Sparks capitalist who was
also a resident of this city at one
time They wisely went down into
more than 5000 acres of likely oil
land which has lately become very
valuable through the bringing in of
two big producing wells nearby,
one three miles away and another
six miles. The proving of the i'm
mediate field in which the Reno
Tex occupies a highly strategic
place has added greatly to the value
of the land holdings enjoyed by the
company and at this juncture nu-
merous Texas drilling outfits are
importuning for the right to sink
wells on the acreage.
DR.. Gardner and his associates
seem to be well on the way to
wealth at this time. 1t is their
plan to actively develop the Texas
holdings and also to enter the Fal-
Ion field having optioned during re-
cent days a substantial acreage in
the heart of this field where de-
velopment enterprise is to be un-
dertaken.

Stray Elks Did
It Up Brown
Gave a Social Affair That Was Dis.
tinctly An Event of SurpassfnR
Enjoyment

The Stray Elks of Fallon, about
75 in number. came to the front
Saturday evening with the biggest
social offering in Fallon's history.
1t was an affair especially worthy
OF commendation and this commen-
dation was very generally put for
ward by the terpsichorean devotees
who were out in recordbreaking
numbers to dance to the strains of
the Riverside 5-piece orchestra of
Reno, which delighted and entranc-
ed and made the occasion, in combi-
nation with other splendid and note
worthy efforts. more than worth
while. Clark's pavilion was filled
to the brim and those attending as
severate that Fallon has never been
favored with a ball so elaborately
prepared for nor with 80 large an
attendance.
The hall was tastily decorated In
the lodge colors, purple and white,
the floor had been polished to the
last degree, and after the custom of
Elkdom, the IL o'clock toast was
put forward. Exalted Ruler L. N.
French, of the Reno lodge with
which most OF the Stray Elks here
abouts affiliate. was toastmaster.
Praise is due the committee of
arrangements for the manner in
which their affair was conducted
and the recollection of the date will
remain long with those who were SO
fortunate as to attend as guests.
A large sum was cleared by the
Fallon Elks which will be used for
charitable purposes, this lodge be-
ing a leader in doing meritorious
acts.

Work of Surveying the Spanish
Reservoir Site Is Proceeding With
Flattering Results

The work of surveying the Span
ish Springs reservoir site east of
Reno in Washoe county, is proceed
ing under the direction of the fed
eral reclamation service with fiatter-
ing results. The engineering party
in charge of the work has found a
possible storage capacity of 800, 900
acre feet and underground condi-
tions that makes for entire feasibil-
ity of dam construction and this
amount of storage may be obtained
by the building of a dam that is
projected very much after the fash
ion of the great Lahontan structure
west of this city.
Although tentative In character
at this time IL is confidently be-
lieved by those familiar with this
projects needs, present and pros
pective, that the Spanish Springs
scheme will be matured within the
next few years To take the place of
the Lake Tahoe basin which has
been virtually lost to the govern
ment as Newlands project ad-
junct. That this loss will prove a
blessing, as the ultimate is figured,
is asserted by those who understand
project conditions and are familiar
with the water supplies of the east
ern slopes of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. The Truckee river
watershed, that would contribute to
the Spanish Springs basin, gives OFF
in an average sense each season
something like 10000 acre feet of
water. greatly exceeding the average
Tahoe watershed runoff There
would be, in addition, a freedom
from involvement with other rights,
a condition that has been the spec
iaI bugbear of the Tahoe situation
from the earliest days of the New
lands project.
The fulfillment of the Spanish
Springs scheme will carry an outlay
of about $4,000, 900. for which an
amplitude of irrigation water will
be assured for this project as IL is
now constituted and for all pro-
posed project extensions The Fern
ley and Hazen districts, which we're
beset with a water shortage last
summer. would be removed for all
time from drouth possibility and in
addition some $4,000 acres OF the
most productive farming land In the
world would come under the ener-
gizing influence of water. the thing
that is working so much magic
throughout arid and semi-arid west
ern America. The new lands en-
braeed within the Spanish Springs
scheme include about 10000 acres
lying on the Pyramid Bench. toward
which many homeseekers have look
ed longingly for many years in an
ticipation of the day when irrigation
facilities would be provided. other
lands that would be benefited in
clude 1000 acres on Lahontan
Bench west of this city and an addi-
tional 1000 acres west of the Island
district. known as the Lahontan
Bench Extension. Additional high
land extensions within the original
ly projected Newlands project
would come under the new scheme
to make the total area benefited
something like $1,000 acres in ex-
tent.
