AT THE NEW REX THEATER

Work has progressed on the in
stallation of the new Rex organ to
such a point that it is now possible
to announce date for the first
concert.
This will take place about Febru-
ary 1st, and will be a notable event
even for the New Rex, which has
provided Fallon with many unusual
events in the past thirty days.
Ella Louise Smith of Oakland.
and L. N. Harmon of Salt Lake
City, recently secured as organists
by the Hurst Bros. for the Grand
theater in Reno, will preside at the
console for the opening concert.
The new organ is as large as any
of the Reno theater organs, but
as regards tone, has no equal in the
state. 1t contains several stops
that are not listed In the specifica-
tions of any other theater organs.
All of the instruments of sympho-
ny orchestra will be represented in
its orchestral divisions and some of
the most beautiful as we'll as the
most powerful of typical concert
organ stops are also included. The
electric action of the instrument
make it possible to change in an In
stant from the delicate voix celeste
to grand organ ensemble that will
vibrate the building with its volume
and power. The installation of this
instrument in being made by the
Leathurby Company of San Fran
cisco. 1t represents an investment
of more than ten thousand dollars.

AMEND CONSTITUTION TO GIVE
FINES COLLECTED TO COUNTIES

Amendment of the Nevada consti-
tuition will be proposed in a rcsolu-
tion to be introduced in the senate
early next week, The change to be
asked will permit the counties of
the state To retain in their treasur-
les the fines collected by their dis
trict and justice courts. instead of
contributing them to the permanent
school fund of the state as is now
the practice. Although the meas
ure does not originate from law en-
forcement association sources. one
of the main objects of the change
will be encouragement to counties
to have their officers enforce the
prohibition law. 1t is the general
belief of those who have discussed
the proposition that turning the
fines imposed upon violators of the
prohibition law into the county
treasury will bring about something
of a cleanup of bootlegging and
blindpigging; that officers will get
evidence and institute more prose
cutions when they know that the
prescribed fines ranging from one
hundred to one thousand dollars
will go into the general fund of the
county and will probably far more
than Offset the cost of prosecution
Fines paid into the state permanent
school fund In 1919 aggregated $2,-
621 by district courts, and $12,-
29s.45 by justice courts. In 1920
the totals we're, district court So
0S5; justice courts, $13,036.00 II
is argued that fines would amount
TO great deal more under the
change proposed. d.--Carson News.

Enter rThisField
Square Deal Oil and Development
Company To Undertake Drilling
At Once

Frank E. Draper, fiscal agent for
the Square Deal Oil and Develop
ment Co, a concern composed very
largely of New York capitalists and
owning four sections of land in the
southern anticline of the Fallon oil
field, Is here assisting Vice-Presi-
dent c. W. Kinney in making plans
for the immediate future which in
clude active development of the
land holdings enjoyed. The big
Union rotary drill has already been
taken to the ground which lies in
the vicinity of Mr.. kinney's salt
holdings, bunk and cook houses are
completed and the task of spudding
in will be in order within the next
few days. This drilling rig is only
limited in its ability to fathom the
mysteries lying underground by the
height of the derrick and 1t Is the
intention of the enterpriBing men
behind the company TO prosecute
work very actively from this time
forward. Drilling permits applying
TO the ground located were received
by the company's officials on Decem-
ber goth. coming as a Christmas
present" said Mr. Draper yesterday.
The president CT the Square Deal
Oil and Development Co., is e. NJ.
Murray. of New York, owner and
head of one of the country's largest
publishing houses; c. w Kinney, of
this city. is yice-president; VIM e.
White. a prominent resident of New
York is treasurer.
II is the plan of the company's
officers to limit the sale of treasury
stock to an amount that will mature
development plans. This 1t is fig
ured can be encompassed by the sale
of approximately 100000 shares, of
the authorized issue of 100000
shares of a par value of $1.00, the
sale price to be SO cents for each
share. The enterprise undertaken
by this company has rare merit in
asmuch as il enjoys the backing of
men of the most substantial type,
owns a large area of what has been
denominated by all geologists visit
ing the Fallon field as the most
likely oil bearing ground within the
entire field. and a point hes been
reached In preliminary development
that insures the fulfllment of all
plans entertained.
Every member of the company
visiting this field, is highly sanguine
of success for the enterprise es-
poused by them. Mr. Draper is no
exception to this rule and although
only here a few days sees wonder
full things ahead for the Fallon oil
field.
Mr.. Kinney has had expressions
from practically every & ologist who
has visited here from proven dis
triets and the voluntarily given
opinions all carry the highest testi-
monials TO the likeliness of the
ground to be developed by the
Square Deal oil and Development
Company.

cd of little more than a
decade. This farm, with its
wonderful herd of II o | S I e / n
Friesian cattle constitutes one of
the show places of this project and
is headquarters for people interest
ed in the dairying industry who
happen to be here from any point in
the United States, for the Longheath
herd is famous wherever dairy jour
nails circulate. The editor of
the Fallon Standard was q Sunday
guest at this farm recently and
frankly admits that what he saw on
that occasion constitutes a reyela-
tion. 1t may be appropos to state
that Mr. Long filed on his homestead
selection before the narrator in
1907. Being in active charge of a
mercantile establishment in Lyon
county, Mr. Longs early homestead
ing experience was fraught with
yicissitudes of varying character.
These were no different from
those of the average person
who files on a selection of desert
land. But he was blessed In more
than usual degree with two human
attributes that make for success in
competition with adversely. These
are money making capacity and
tenacity of purpose.
Some five years after Mr.. Long
made his land filing he established
the foundation for his wonderful
herd of 70 dairy cattle, among
which IL is asserted by those who
know are seven cows that are among
the blue ribbon Holstein-Freisian
breed within the entire United
States. They come. from line of
progenitors that are the envy OF
stockbreeders wherever they may be
and class is emphasized in every line
of their physical structure. They
have pedigrees that would tax the
capacity of this paper to recite and
cows are being MIXED In Mr.. Longs
dairy houses that give milk in al
most unbelievable quantities. He
has one COW for which he was offer
ed $2500, which may seem a fancy
he proves to you that this bunny
eyed bovine gave him 1914 gallons
of milk each day over a period of
seven days, her great worth is dis
closed for breeding possibilities.
These are of greater value in strains
of this type than the milk produc-
tion. Carnation Skylark Segis is
this cows name and as a four-year
old she produced an average of IL
gallons of milk daily over a period
of 80 days. Her individual cream
check for this month at the then
prevailing butter fat price was
| $3.50, so 1t is shown that Carna-
tion Is very desirable and eligible
girl and has greater earning ca
pacity than some folks we know.
She Is no idler, and her short an
nual vacation period is devoted
to reflection over the probable value
of the heir apparent she is about to
tender her owner. The editor of
this paper may be little enthusias-
tic over this COW, but there are
others for she won fourth prize In
competition with the best cows of
her class In the United States at the
national dairy show held In Colum-
bus, Ohio, In 1919.
But Carnation Skylark Segis does
not outrank many others of the
Longheath herd, many of which are
great granddaughters of Colantha
4th Johanna and of the entire herd
of 20 Holstein- -Friesians, 81 are
pure bred and regiotered. This
Grandma Johanna was the first COW

breed may be developed that will
be SO prolific in the production of
milk and butter fat that heads of
families will only be required to
run single stall sairy In order to
have a profitable plant.
Carnation has a lot of female
companions, all dressed in their
winter garb who too seem altogether
satisfied with their surroundings at
the Longheath farm. They are fed
balanced rations but no ensilage,
Mr.. Long advancing the idea that
he has attained the highest possible
results without a silo as farm ap-
purtenant and expressing doubt
whether the investment would be
