P. A. McCarran Replies to the
Standards Several lnterro6ations
Answers Questions Put Forward by the Standard
and Declares Positions That Should Make
the Middle Ground, Where Justice
Resides Accessible to All
To the Editor of the Fallon Standard:

To the Editor of the Falon Standard:
Sir: in your issue of February 2 you ad-
dressed four questions to me which in fair
ness to my position as representative of the
protestants in the confirmation proceedings
now pending in the District Court | deem
worthy of notice and answer.
Your first question is as follows:
The Fallon Standard would like to know
if Mr. McCarran stands for an enlargement
of the Newlands project and a restricted pow
er development on the Truckee river, or
whether he stands for restricted Newlands
project and the maximum of power develop
ment along the Truckee river where he hap
pens to own a ranching property?
My answer to your interrogatory is
| stand for an enlargement of the New
lands project and every other agricultural
district in the state of Nevada. The enlarge
ment of the Newands project does not and
would not necessitate a restricted power de-
velopment on the Truckee river. | am in fav-
or of the promotion and extension of agricul-
ture in every one of its branches, and if power
development would aid in the enlargement of
the cultivated area, as | believe it ultimately
WILL do favor such.
Your second question is
The Fallon Standard would like to know if
Mr.. McCarran is dsinterested party to the
suit he has started to break the project drain
age proposal and the duly instituted drainage
irrigation district?
To this l reply:
/ have not started suit to break the pro-
ject drainage proposal. l represent those in
this district who protest the present method
of apportonment of the benefits under the
proposed drainage district In this and in all
other matters pertaining to it, am retained
attorney, interested in accomplishing through
legal means, the results sought by my clients
(some 800 in number); otherwise l am dis
interested.
The third question propounded is:
The Fallon Standard would like to know
if Mr.. McCarran is making a common cause
with the project protestants from unselfish
motives or whether he is actuated from the
desire to have the Nevada Valleys Power
Company interests build great power plant
on his ranch between Wadsworth and Sparks,
familiar to all way-farers who have travelled
the route.
To this l answer:
l am representing, as an attorney, the pro-
testants in the confirmation proceedings now
pending in the District Court, and represent
such protestants without any hope desire or
possibility from an individual standpoint.
Since 1912 have been involved in litigation
against the Nevada Valleys Power Company

H. A. Cox, of San Francisco, legal
advisor, who assumed the place va
Gated by E. w. Burr, when Mr.. Burr
was promoted to a more remunera-
tive place with the federal trades
commission in the national capital is
also here. Both men are acting in
official roles that are aimed to lead
to the earliest possible consumma-
tion of the project drainage project.
In this connection is is asserted that
the federal government, as the fiscal
agent of the enterprise, has $780,
0000 available by congressional ap-
preparation for the work proposed
and that this expenditure is to be
started Immediately at the conclus-
ion of favorable decision from the
court of hearing in the case of the
Newlands project protestants against
the district irrigation board. 1t is
held that the matter of assessing
benefits is of no direct concern to
our fiscal agent; this only involves
the water users who are to pay the
bill. And Uncle Sam with his usual
age work either as the fiscal agent
or as an active participant because
he has a good sized investment here
and his agents have advised in favor
of full protective measures. This
is deemed an economic expedient
within the category of excellent bus
mess and common prudence.
ut thus happens that drainage
work is going to be undertaken, "
said Mr.. Burkholder Monday. II
have been advised by the manufact-
urers in Milwaukee, Wise, that two
large excavators, recently ordered
by the reclamation service, are now
ready for shipment and l will go d.
rect from here to the factory to
make the official inspection prepara-
tory to consigning them to the New
lands project.
"Our plans are fully matured for
the drainage work now in mind and
can assure you that dirt will be
flying with the advent of spring.
Uncle Sam is not particularly con-
cerned with the minor details now
being fought out in the courts. The
prime matter of interest to him is
whether or no the law under which
your irrigation district is constitut-
ed is constitutional This having
been affirmed he has a recognizable
head of authority with which to
deal in making his interest-free
loan and we are losing no time in
laying the ground work for your
drainage"

WELL KNOWN FALLON
WOMAN PASSED AWAY

Mrs. J. A. Wood, well known Fal-
Ion woman, passed away in a Reno
hospital Monday morning following
second major operation. She had
earlier submitted to a first opera
tion and seemed well on the way to
convalescence when complications
arose that made the second correct
i've attempt necessary and from this
she never rallied. The deceased left
numerous relatives. including the
husband, two sons, George and
James, aged IL and 10 years. Mrs.
S. j Rogers. of this community, is
sister, and Robert Coombs. also of
Fallon, a brother. Three sisters, a
brother and the parents reside in
North Carolina where the deceased
was born and reared.
Had Mrs. Woods lived until the
26th day of this month she would
have been 81 years of age. She had
never enjoyed full measure of
good health and II was in the hope
that this happy end would be ac-
complished that she submitted to
the operations.
Mr., Wood went to Reno Monday
and brought the remains to Fallon.
Funeral services will be held from
the M. e. church this afternoon, at
2 o'clock and interment will follow
at the Fallon cemetery.
Mrs. Woods had many warm
friends in this community who will
regret to hear of her passing. To
these she was warm hearted assoc
late and that she will be sadly miss
ed by many is certain.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MET
MONDAY EVENING

The meeting of the commercial
club, held Monday evening, was well
attended and evoked considerable
interest in view of the advertised
subject for discussion. Sugar beets
and beet sugar were the chief topics
of the evening and the developments
of the evening are related in another
column. Other matters brought
forward at the meeting had to do
largely with roads in this county.
The clubs road committee, compris-
ing w. A. Harmon, ]. N. Tedford
and w. A. Dudley reported on their
conference with the county commits
sioners, 1t being asserted that the
county's executive heads expressed
willingness to go as far as tax mon
eys will allow in the movement to
improve the thoroughfares of the
county.
Emphasis was placed upon the
fact that the Four and Eight Mile
fats southeast of this city, traversed
by the Lincoln Highway and a
source of complaint from all travel
ers has in truth been rendered i'm
passable by the recent activities OF
the state highway department, rath-
er than being improved as would
seem to be a warrant in view of the
expenditures of money made on the
enterprise. This outlay was made
from a fund contributed to by the
federal government, the state and
this county and the grade at this
time will not admit of travel. The
state highway department is to be
asked, "how Gomez"
l. H. Kent appeared before the

road projects. One would make, by

to a move to connect this city with

Herefor Mill
Fallon Flour Mill Will Make
Flours Again This
Season

A complete set of -four manufac-
turing machinery Is being unloaded
in the local railroad yards this week,
preparatory to its installation in the
Fallon -four mill building recently
completed by d. Mccall and the
company of which he is the secre-
tary and general manager. Sur
rounding this shipment is a story
that well illustrates the old truism,
ITS an i'll wind that blows no good"
On March 31st, of last year, the
| first manufacturing unit belonging
TO the Fallon -four mill company,
was destroyed by fire, occasioning a
loss of approximately $4,000.
Practically all of the insurance in
force earlier in the season had ex-
pired and had not been renewed.
| The situation seemed appalling to
Mr.. Mccall and his associates. But
they were undaunted and immedi-
ately set out to rebuild. The great
| heat of the confagration had twist
ed and warped all machinery to the
point of junk and this was removed
and sold to buyers of old metal as
| the second building went up. The
new structure is a practical dupli-
cate of the one destroyed. But re-
stricted finances interposed when
the building was ready for new ma
chinery and the necessary credits
could not be obtained. The project
seemed hopeless of consummation

Back In Sweetwater, Nebr., the
late cyclone season dealt in unkind
fashion with the people of the COM
munity. Among those suffering
loss by the tremendous blow was
II. E. Sharpe, -four mill man. The
twister descended upon his estab-
lishment and lifted the building
sheer from its foundation. scatter
ing II well over an area of a town.
ship. When the cataclysm had sub
sided Mr.. Sharpe found himself
possessed of. a set of -four manufac-
turing machinery but had no build
| ing. Like Mr. Mccall he felt the
effects of restricted finance and his
enterprise was at an empasse'. Pc
culiarly, this -four mill outfit was an
exact duplicate of the one de-
stroyed in this city last March. II
has daily -four making capacity of
| 80 barrels.
At this juncture Fate, certainly
not always unkind, relieved the Jun
happy situations of the two men by
placing them in touch, one with the
other, with the result that a deal
was quickly arranged and the ma
chinery loaded onto cars for ship
ment to this city. By the terms of
the deal Mr.. Sharp becomes the
heaviest stakeholder in the Fallon
-four milling company next to Mr..
| Mccall.
The first cost of the machinery
thus secured is asserted to be in the
neighborhood of s12,500 and its
present condition is nearly as good
as new. The freight charge on the
consignment from Sweetwater to
this city was in the neighborhood of
81, 900.
Mr.. Mccall assures this news
paper that the machinery will be in
place within the next two months
and that 1t will be operated to take
full care of the 1921 crop of cereals
to be raised in this valley during
the present year.

in an attempt to defend against the suit of
that company in an effort to prohibit the Ne
vada Valleys Power Company from condemn
ing right of way through the McCarran
holdings on the Truckee river, and to prevent
the Nevada Valleys Power Company from es
tablishing a power plant on those holdings. In
this, believe that have been and will be sue
cessful, to the end that we will defeat the ef
fort of the Nevada Valleys Power Company
to place their power plant on our lands or to
condemn a right of way through the same
Your next question is:
The Fallon Standard would like to know
if Mr.. McCarran would welcome the abandon
ment of the governments additional storage
scheme in order that the surplus water of the
Truckee river may not be interferred with and
the big power development scheme be thus
made feasible.
To this answer:
| would not and do not welcome abandon
ment of any storage scheme whether under
the supervision of the United States govern
ment or otherwise. | do, however, earnestly
advocate storage of flood waters on the upper
reaches of the Carson and Truckee river, to
the end that greater area of land may come
under irrigation. Storage of water in the up
per reaches of the Truckee and Carson river
would in no wise interfere with power devel-
opment. The government and reclamation
service, as l understand it, have heretofore de-
clared in favor of power development on all
streams available for such.
In furtherance of my answer to your inter-
rogatory, l respectfully draw your attention
to the fact that during the summer of 1920
was called upon and did, without compensa-
ton, represent the farmers of the Fernley and
Swingle Bench districts at conferences held
in San Francisco and at Lake Tahoe, for the
release of water from Lake Tahoe, at time
when the lands of those districts were threat
ened with drought. At this time it will be re-
called that the Manager of the Newlands pro-
ject was urging the release of water from
Lake Tahoe for the operation of the Nevada
Valleys Power Company plant at Lahontan.
AS representative of the farmers of the dis
tricts named, refused to join him in his ef-
fort to have water released for the Nevada
Valleys Power Company purpose.
P. A. McCARRAN.
(By the editor) When the unbeliever turns
believer he becomes the most pious mourner
at the bench. Mr.. McCarran's above lamen-
tations and protestations and disclaimers give
rise to the hope that he will in truth commit
himself unreservedly to the laudable things
under way here even though the course will
mean an abandonment of past policy and
practice.
