PHIPPS ROAD BILL HAS.
PASSED U. 8. SENATE

The Fallon chamber of commerce
officials have received advices from
Nevada's congressional delegation.
asserting that the Phipps road bill
passed the senate and is now before
the house of representatives with
excellent prospects of becoming a
federal law. This proposal would
bility for post highway construction.
In the case of this state the govern
ment's preponderant land owner
ship would mean a ratio of outlay
on the part of the federal govern
ment of ten to one to that paid by
the Joint state and county auspice.
At the present time the ratio Is one
to one. Not only would the pro-
posed measure greatly increase the
federal governments participation
in post road building costs but Ne
vada would, under Its terms enjoy
the return of approximately one
million dollars. already expended ON
the highway construction account.
The local chamber of commerce
is fully committed to the Phelps
bill and its endorsement has gone
forward TO washington.
Hon. Key Pittms-, senior senator
from this state, took a prominent
part in the debate leading up to the
passage of the Phipps bill by the up
per house and told of Nevada condi-
tiens which demand a broader fed
eral recognition thoa prevails at the
present time. He said:
The state of Ne7ada is required to
put up dollar for dollar with the
federal government In post road
construction.
That only seven per cent. of the
land area of the state is subject to
taxation, the remainder being own
ed by the United States.
That federal approval has been
extended for three cross-state roads,
parts of transcontineatal routes of
gerat strategic value and that it is
physically impossible for the state
of Nevada to finance these under
takings on basis OF half and half
of the total cost.
That 80 per cent of the travel on
Neyada's pest roads is by citizens OF
other states.
That the new fiscal year begins
on July LIST and that unless the
Phipps measure or a similar one is
passed highway construction in this
state must cease.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
IN INTERESTING SESSION

The Chamber of Commerce body
met Monday evening with a good
sized attendance present. Many
matters of importance to the COM
munity were discussed, including
good roads, cooperation, and irri-
cation. A meeting was planned be-
tween committees representing the
Fallon and Fernley units of the
Newlands project and one repre-
senting Reno and vicinity relative to
the enlarged irrigation scheme re-
Gently promulgated under Reno
auspices. This will occur at Fern
ley on June 5th and this district
will be represented by w A. Ked-
die, |. H. Kent, w A. Harmon, True
Vencill, G. E. Kent and E. E. Wood.
The club membership decided to
work for the transfer of the wes-
tern headquarters of the reclamation
service from Denver to this
city In competition with larger
western cities. In this connection
1t is emphasized that this is the log
ical and most central point In the
entire country for administration of
the federal governments arid land
reclamation business and strong
hopes are entertained that the
Washington authorities will accede
10 the local urging.
Minor matters were discussed,
which included sidewalks and prob
able new quarters for the club

ADMINISTRATION ASKED
TO AID AGRICULTURE

Possibilities of the benefits to the
country from increased federal aid
for reclamation projects were pre-
sented to the senate of the United
States committee Saturday by COVER
nors OF Western states. They asked
enactment of the McNary-Smith bill,
proposing federal loans to be repaid
through the sale OF bonds through
the farm loan banks.
What we hope is that congress
will lay down some general and
continuing policy which will make 1t
unnecessary hereafter to ask legis-
lation for individual projects said
Governor Davis of Idaho.

WonlO
Inning Game
One of Best Baseball Games In
Fallon's History Was the
Fans Portion

Fallon's baseball team defeated
the fast Fernley club on the home
diamond Sunday afternoon with a
record crowd in the grandstand to
take note of the accomplishments of
the local athletes II required ten
innings to make the game end right.
So far as we know this Is Nevada 3
first extra inning game of the
season among tho loading teams of
the state.
The game was full of thrills,
plays and misplays, and those pres
ent are agreed that Manager Ross
trotted out a lineup that will win
many games this season. Two de-
sirables were missing. however, in
the local lineup and these will be
added as the season progresses. They
are Diddie Practice and Willie Team
into a very fast and hard to beat
aggregation that will win many ball
games in most any semi-pro COM
pany.
The game started with Mayor H.
A Clarke pitching and Sheriff Jim
Smith receiving. The doughty ex-
captain in the Philippines put over
a hot one as a preliminary to the
real contest end his big battery mate
stopped the pellet and better still
held ii.
Fallon made 20 hits and six er-
rors, according to the score keeper
while Fernley made 13 hits and was
charged with 10 errors. There Is
something wrong with the box score
handed into this Office because the
final showed Fallon on the long end
of IL to IL score and 1t required
ten exciting innings to encompass
this happy end.
1t is enough to know that the
home team won and every unit In
the good sized crowd was delighted
with the game. II was one of those
peculiarly interesting contests, full
of thrills and good playing, and
though inside baseball was varied
from too often there is none who
would have missed the show for sew
eral times the price of admission.
Incidentally, local interest in the
national pastime was stimulated and
assurance is thus held of support
for the Fallon baseball organization.
The battery working for Fallon
was Roy Stewart and Hawley; for
Fernley, Woodward and Smith.
Stewart struck out seven while
Woodward. working for Fernley
struck out Eve. Fallen also pulled
pretty double play, Erskine to
Powell to Vance.
