Reports Unfavorably on Arentz
Mining Bill; Action Urged

The possibility of the Churchill
county chamber OF commerce obtain
ing a full time secretary was one of
the major topics discussed at the
meeting of that body last Monday
night. j. p. Eldredge suggested that
the employment of a man who could
devote his full time to the work of
the chamber OF commerce and boost
and advertise Churchill county
would be one of the best possible
steps that the chamber of commerce
could take.
Ii was stated that a secretary
who could devote his entire time to
the work could help the people of
Churchill county as no other man
could, in advertising the resources
of the county and interesting people
from all over the country in Fallon
and surrounding territory No ac-
ton was taken.
The house warming committee
stated that the program for the
evening of January End was being
outlined. The chairman announced
that he has already spoken to a
number of men and asked them to
give five minute talks and that he
had a number of representative bus
mess and professional men sched-
uled for short talks. A musical
program is also being arranged, he
said.
The question of the Reno-Hazen
road was broached at the meeting
and President H. A. Clarke urged
the members of the chamber of
commerce to boost for the PROPOSE
ton. He spoke of the meeting that
is to be held in Reno on December
20, and asked that a large delega-
ton from Fallon be present. Clarke
stated that the Reno-Hazen road is
on the primary system and will un-
doubtedly be constructed II IL re-
ceives sufficient support from the
people interested. Nothing could
be OF greater advantage to the COM
munity than that road" he added.
The Churchill county commissioners
were requested by the chamber of
ing.
practically every Monday night
questions come up that are of vast
Importance to the community"
Clarke said, "and IL behooves us all
to get out and boost for greater in
terest in the organization. He
stated that the number OF farmers
present at the meetings usually far
outnumbered the local business
men. "Of course we are still a COM
paratiyely young community. but II
is time that we cast on our swad-
ding clothes and become precoci-
ous," the president concluded.
