COUNCIL MEETING
WAS WELL ATTENDED

The new city council met last
evening in its first regular monthly
session. Many local people turned
out to see the solons in action and
eyinced considerable interest in the
proceedings. DR.. G. A. Hascall pre-
sented petition from property
owners in the district affected, pro-
testing the condition of the Howser
Bros. feed corrals, an order follow
ing from the council directing that
the premises be cleaned up.
The chamber of commerce was
represented at the meeting and as a
result of oyortures the city engineer
was directed to correct the approach
to the sidewalk at the Kent Com
pany store corner where In times
past considerable athletic ability
has been required to surmount the
existing impedimenti.
A petition was also presented to
the council signed by the children
of the 9Th and 7th grades of the To-
cal elementary schools, asking that
the excavation on lots north of the
court house be filed. Councilman
c. L. Benadum revived the subject
of better drainage for the district
in the northern part of town where
an inadequate drain ditch serving
the Williams Estate farm has Gre
ated more or less trouble during ir-
rigation and storm periods. It is
believed that remedial measures will
shortly be taken TO correct the con-
dition complained of.
Harley Enlow, local contractor
was given the award for the COM
pletion of the city's second septic
tank unit. the contract price fgur-
ing being $3.50 The cost of the
uncompleted tank up TO the present
time is sS772.27 and the additional
contract necessary for its compile
tion will bring the total outlay on
this account to sum In excess of
$4,000.
The appointment of A. w. Loft
house as night policeman was con-
f1rmed for the remainder of the
present month.

DECISION EXPECTED SOON
IN DRAINAGE SUIT MATTER

II now seems certain that Dis
trict Judge G. ]. McFadden will
clarity the project drainage situa-
tion by judicial decision within the
next few days. Argument was
made recently by opposing counsel
and the word was issued by Judge
McFadden upon the receipt OF the
documents of legal lore that he
would hear no cases. nor suffer dis
turbation, until he had made his
study of facts submitted and re-
sulting conclusions. People in
closest touch with the suit believe
that Judge McFadden's decision will
be received here during the coming
week.
II is also asserted by project au-
thorities that in the event of the af-
firming of the legality of the dis
trict irrigation board organization
and of the drainage proceedings at
tackled in the suit. that the federal
government would proceed instanter
to drain the farm lands of this val
ley in accordance with plans enter

months.

RENO SCORES TEN
TO FALLON'S NINE

With both teams playing loose
ball. Reno diamondites nosed out
Fallon for a ten to nine win Sunday
at the Moana grounds. says the Ga
zette.
Both teams used two pitchers,
and in the case of each pitcher sup
port was of mediocre variety. Al
most from the beginning the game
was a comedy of errors. with scores
close enough to add a thrill that
ordinarily would have been absent
from so loosely played a game
Reno permitted eight men to
reach first on errors, while Fallon
was responsible for four men taking
the first sack without any warrant
for being there. A total of seven
errors for Fallon and nine errors
for Reno, with eight hits on the
visitors side and the home boys
hammering out thirteen safeties
tells big story.
Two doubles by Reno and a
strong batting rally by Fallon in the
seventh gave zip to a game that
had thrills aplenty in spite of loose
playing. Farber started the first
double when he picked up a hot
grounder from Ludwig headed
Hawley at second and chucked to
first in time to head off Ludwig's
dash. The next double came with
bases full in the seventh, when
Farber scooped hot grounder.
pegging TO Stobener to head off
Powell's race for home. with Stobe-
ner's throw reaching Harding in
time to nose out Erskin at first.

UNUSUAL HAPPENINGS IN
An UNUSUAL COMMUNITY

Fred A Nelson, of the district
east of Fallon, tells an unusual
story Mr.. Nelson is inimitable and
this quality of nature runs through
all of his bents. He is a school
clerk of parts, a farmer who sue
ceeds and a politician in season who
is sought by seekers of preferment
every two-year period. He brought
in a story this week that, like Mr.
Nelson's individuality, abounds in
human interest. AS he tells the
story a band of sheep passed by his
farm several weeks ago, forming
merely an incident in dull day
Weeks afterward he found a young
shepherd dog acting strangely on
his farm, timid as is characteristic
of the breed. The dog would ap-
proach him in a spirit of friendli-
ness, and then run away. fearful of
close approach. II became plain to
Mr.. Nelson, after a time. that the
dog was acting an unusual part and
one day he concluded to follow the
animal in its retreat. The course
laid down took Mr.. Nelson through
his alfalfa field to the bank of a ca
nal where he found two lambs dy-
ing of starvation They had been
left in their helpleDsness by the
herder of the band of sheep that
had gone along the route by Mr.
Nelson's place.
AS Mr.. Nelson, bachelor, tells the
story, the dog was pleased to the
point of ecstaey and made his pleas
ure and appreciation known in ways
quite unusual to the average ca
nine. AS he took the lambs in his
arms and made his way to the farm
stead a family of one had suddenly
grown to four. As the days
passed the lambs grew into sturdy
little fellows, the dog went far
afield in an effort to serve his new
master and loneliness gave way to
cheer and companionship. Even
old bachelors have hearts. you
know
To give his dog story u climax
Mr.. Nelson further recites that re-
Gently his shepherd directed him to
spot where he had discovered a
young hare, So young in fact that it
could barely move about, and in
yestigation showed that the dog had
mouthed the rabbit in an effort at
succor but had not succeeded, Again
was the faithful animal grateful to
the point of licking Mr. Nelson S
hand and otherwise showing his
pleasure when like the lambs, his
master took the little founding in
to his arms and made his way to the
house.

5. +. FILED CLAIM FOR
ALLEGED LOSS FROM WATER

Among the business considered
by the board of irrigation district
directors at its meeting Monday was
claim for $500 filed by the
railroad company for an al
legged loss sustained when the
Truckee canal broke at a point be-
tween Hazen and Fernley on Janu-
airy End of this year and went rush
ing down the hillside against the
railroad track embankment. The
members of the irrigation took the
stand that had the railroad company
maintained its culverts free from
impedimenti no damage would have
resulted from the waters. 1t is not
known whether the Newlands pro-
ject will be sued for the sum as a
result of the rejection of the claim.

1921 Meeting
to be Biggest
Fallon TO Have Its Biggest Fair
This Fall Ii Plans
Count
fBy A. ]. Reed J

The biggest and best county fair
ever held anywhere Is to be given in
Fallon on the 18th, 18th and 18th
of September. Anyone in doubt as
to this statement, ask any farmer
who has been tending his field crops
with an eye on the calender, looking
at the fair date5. Go to any COM
munity center meeting and talk to
the people there about last years
fair and see what they say about the
one coming. Then talk to the mer-
chants of Fallon and you Will find
that they are willing TO boost and
back the fair to the limit
The fair committee has started
its campaign and everyone called
upon for assistance will be expected
to cooperate In every way in order
to put the fair over the top. A
county fair of the importance of
this one is not a ole-man fair. 1t IS
not expected therefore that anyone
person will do everything.
meeting iG TO be held soon of
the committees on the fair from
each community center and a gen
eral discussion will take place on all
plans to be engineered on the fair
days
A letter from the Inter ational
Grain and Hay Show. which is to be
held this year AT Chicago between
the 26th of November and the 3rd
of December. states that an exhibit
of the Lahontan project hay is de-
sired There is no reason why hay
from the project should not take
first prize, in the alfalfa class at
least The list calls for timothy,
alfalfa and clover hay. Any one or
all three may be sent. II is one ex-
ceptionally fine way to advertise
the real quality of the project hay.
Advertising of this nature is not to
be overlooked at this time.
There is no reason why an excel
lent exhibit of hay cannot be placed
at the county fair. There will al
ways be some outsiders at the fair.
Then, too, a good many hay buyers
are usually in the project about that
time of year and IL will all help to
have them see a first class exhibit.
Following is summary for TAX
ing of samples:
The samples should be obtained
from pure fields of timothy. alfalfa
and red clover. When any of these
are mixed IT is impossible to secure
a bale that will be fit for exhibition.
Timothy and red clover can be TAX
en- from new seedlings but good
samples of alfalfa come from old
beds.
In preparing these samples for
bale exhibitions they are cut at the
same time that the regular crop is
cut and with the same mower The
portion of the field that the bale is
to be made from is cured in the
same way that the rest of the field
is cured unless II shows signs of
raining. In this case. the hay is put
under shelter and removed outside
TO cure in tho sun after the rain is
over. II allowed to heat from
moisture in the hay the samples
will turn yellow.
After the sample is thoroughly
cured II should be made into a bale
at once and put away in dark
place until shipped to the Interna-
tional Hay and Grain Show. The
hay can be pressed into a bale with
regular hay baler, in a box or the
paper balers used by merchants. A
regular hay baler is preferred as IL
will make a better bale"

PROJECT WATER USERS
VOTE To ENTER SUIT

Another suit wherein project wa
ter users are principals is promised
by the vote taken recently under the
direction of the district irrigation
board on the matter of whether tho
federal reclamation fund shall be
reimbursed to the amouns of ap-
proximately s190.000, unpaid ac-
cruals on account of the operation OF
this project over period OF a dec
ade.
Out of nearly 500 farm land own
ers in this valley about 200 return
ed the ballot mailed by the irrlga-
ton board and of these something
like lao voted to enter the plain
tiff role against Uncle Sam. while
another 40 voted TO sustain the rec
lamatlon service demand that the
moneys be returned In instalments.
Nearly coo water users failed to
register an opinion showing an ap-
parent disinterestedness in the
question.

A local plumber unacquainted
with legal phraseology and legisla-
tive enactment told a story yester-
day of a recent happening in which
he was a central figure. AS he re-
counts the affair he had a plumber
competitor arrested for unfair COM
petition under the Mann act and In
the formalities that followed the
competitor was convicted, II didn't
matter a whit that the plumber was
corrected as to the particular stat
ute under which his competitor was
convicted. Impossible, said one
auditor. THE Mann act applies
merely to interstate traffic in wo-
men," said the interlocutor. The
local plumber refused to have his
story spoiled and explained. "of
course there was a woman in the
transaction because had a wife and
two children dependent upon me for
support" So far as the narrator
has been able to learn the local
plumber is still sweetly oblivious OF
the provisions of the Mann act as
others of his fellows have had its
sting vividly forced home to mind.
