Home Made Flour
Cheaper Prices
Into Flour of the Very
Highest Grade

1t will soon fall to the lot of Fal-
flour manufactured at home from
hard wheat grown at home and at
prices that will recall in the most
vivid sense pre-war prices. ID. Mccall
recently completed a deal whereby
he acquired so tons of the best
wheat produced by X. L. Douglass
on his Island ranch and an addition
al SO tons produced by George Wing
field on his section ranch in the
same neighborhood and he ground
this into flour of the highest quality
which will be sold very shortly to
tallon customers.
What is more interesting is the
price and referring back to the term,
pre-war prices, it will require long
journey in memory's ship to bring
to mind the time when Mr.. McCall's
contemplated price was duplicated in
the past because he expects to sell
the snow white, home grown and
home manufactured product at the
unheard of price of $500 per barrel,
or $1.50 per sack of 40 pounds. This
is the approximate figure that the
Fallon Flour Mill management will
exact in return for what is denomin-
ated the best production of flour
ever turned out in this state
Mr.. Mccall is able to make this
price because he operates his mill at
a minimum of cost and in milling
home grown wheat is disposed to
give his customers the benefit of the
cost of carrying the wheat to the
coast markets and the flour back
from the mills on the coast His act
must be stamped as one entirely
magnanimous and calculated to give
the people of this community the
entire benefit of freight costs.
Both Mr.. Douglas ad Mr.. Wing
field aided Mr.. Mccall in his project
and sold him their entire output of
Marquis hard wheat than which
there Is no better flour makingwheat
on the market.

FUND For Municipal Swimming Pool
Grows Under Active Boosting
by Local Citizens

The swimming pool benefit given
at the Rex theater Saturday evening
attracted full house of local people
who evidenced willingness to help
a good cause along and the part of
the receipts that will go into the
rapidly growing fund amounts to
$4,000. The Palace theater man
agement had previously shared the
receipts of an evening.
Charles Hall. local mining man
addressed the crowd of people pres
ent at the Rex benefit and under his
urging solicitors who passed through
the audience secured subscriptions
to the amount of 1856. Miss Mil
dred Dunford two years ago placed
the sum of 1868 in a local bank as
evidence OF her public spirit and in
dustry and small balance was
turned over by the boys who solic-
tied the business section of town a
few weeks ago, after they had first
paid for the big excavation down in
the city park where the permanent
tank is to be constructed Just as rap
idly as the chamber of commerce
committee having the matter in hand
at the present time can make the
necessary arrangements.
The amounts that will be forth
coming from the business men of
Fallon as a result of a five per cent

all moneys belonging to the fund
have been secured from the several
sources that more than $1,000 will
be on hand to go towards concreting
the basin.
The city authorities are lending
their best offices to the enterprise to
the end that II may be matured In
advance of cold weather and thus be
ready for amphibious sport early
next year.
w. X Davis. j Z. Eldredge and
Stanley Lockwood form the COM

that all donators of labor, supplies

ALFALFA GROWERS OF
CALF. MARKET LETTER

The market for alfalfa hay showed
but little change during the week.
Receipts In the terminal markets
were again small. with prices well
maintained.
In most of the local marketing
districts of the state the demand and
volume of business show further i'm
provement, with a widening differ
ence in prices above those of the
central markets, amounting now in
some localities to as much as $5.0e
a ton above the present parity of the
respective central market
One of the great difficulties of
many growers under present condi-
tions of very low prices and necessar-
lily slow sales of alfalfa, is their in
ability of promptly meeting their
monthly power bills, resulting in
many instances in the shutting off of
the power by the power company.
The growers plead that their pos
ition in this respect is made espec-
tally difficult by the fact that the
power company charges them a very
much higher rate in the first part of
the season than in the later, the
early charge amounting to as much
as $3.50 an acre for a single irriga-
ton in many localities in the San
Joaquin. The growers are asked to
pay this excessive rate at the very
time when they are in the most un-
favorable position for meeting it and
II they cannot meet 1t promptly and
the power is shut off, they lose the
benefit of the later much lower rate
and, of course, they also lose the
later cuttings.
We have taken this matter up with
he heads of one of the big power
companies, in the hope of obtaining
some relief for our members.
These gentlemen explained to us
that they are compelled to make the
graduated charge, as they would lose
money If the charge to growers of
grain, etc. who use the power only
for one or two irrigations In the ear
ly part of the season, were made at
the same average rate as to the Gus
toners who use the power all
through the irrigation season.
1t would seem to us that this rate
schedule could be changed so as to
be more favorable to the alfalfa
grower while at the same time pro-
tecting the interests of the power
company, but for the time being we
have TO take the situation as 1t is
We therefore asked the power
company to be more lenient with our
members In the enforcing OF the
shutting off rules of the company.
The gentlemen of the power com
pany explained to us that their de
linquencies are already increasing al
.disquieting rate and would b,
bound to Increase still more rapidly
IL they were to stop enforcing theii
rules with our growers generally
which probably Is true.

FALLON RANCH TO HAVE
NINE-HOIF GOLF COURSE

Senator Robert Douglass is max
ing a nine-hole golf course on his
ranch near Fallon, says the Reno
Journal.
Years ago, in the days of the BIZ
cycle craze, he was star racer.
When the automobile came along
he had one of the first in Nevada,
and one the first road race ever
held in the state. about 1904 with
Senator Arthur Keddie. recently
killed in an airplane accident. he
won the Moana road race a few years
ago.
In 1913 Senator Douglass bought
an airplane and became one OF Me-
vada's first aviators
''But there's nothing like golf for
thrills" he said yesterday. as he
made the rounds with George
Springmeyer at the Reno links.
He and his boys propose to get
all the fun there is out of the grand
old game on their new course on the
ranch.

Reno-Hazenkoad
Is Being Boosted
hernley Good Roads Meeting Held
Sunday Afternoon Was
Largely Attended

F'allon people who attended the
F'ernley good roads meeting, held in
the enterprising west project dis
trict town ON Sunday afternoon, re-
port an attendance and enthusiasm
that promise much for the enterprise
having for its object the construction
of a hard surfaced highway from
Sparks to Hazen to form link IN
the states highway system that Will
serve two cross-the-state routes IN
an equal sense. The route proposed
for the improvement is 81 miles in
length and it is the opinion OF those
who were present at the ternley
meeting, gained from expressions
made by state highway authorities,
that the project will be among the
first to be undertaken.
1t is understood that the sanction
of the project is contingent upon the
early passage of the amended Phipps
bill now about TO be adopted by con-
gress, il reports can be believed. In
deed, assurances OF this impending
official act are SO convincing that
people interested in the Reno Hazen
highway assert that only reason
able amount of time to be given over
to construction activities will be re-
quired to mature the undertaking.
With the Fallon-Hazen highway
promised the people of this county
by state officialdom IL seems certain
that another year will witness the
use of the completed highway which
will connect this city with the states 5
metropolis.
Attending the Fernley meeting
Sunday were the members of the
commissioners boards OF Washoe
and Lyon counties and many private
would be benefited. Fallon was well
represented in Mayor H. A. Clarke,
Councilman j. W. Flood, City Engin-
eer l.. w. CrehoYe, A. j. Reed, Geo.
LIGHTHOUSE and A. f. Branch.
Following the discussion featur-
ing the meeting the ladies of the
Fernley Improvement Club served re-
freshments to the big crowd in at
tendance and the event has been pro-
nounced one of the most successful
of the kind ever held in this state
The following resolution was put
forward and endorsed at the
meeting:
''WHEREAS. the traffic demand
for a hard surfaced road between
Reno and Hazen is insistent and the
practically unanimous demand OF the
people of Washoe, Lyon and Chur-
chill counties exists, and.
WHEREAS, the passage of the
Phipps-Dowell bill will make the
building of this road a comparatively
small burden upon the taxpayers OF
the states communities, therefore,
"BE 1T RESOLVED by the follow
ing representatives of Washoe, Lyon
and Churchill counties that the
building of this hard surfaced road
between Reno and Hazen be heartily
endorsed and that the state highway
department be requested to immedi-
ately have the necessary surveys
made of this road and submit the
same to the bureau of public roads
at Washington, ID. c., to the end thai
the road may be built as soon as
possible"
