TALKING ABOUT WEATHER,
THE FIGURES PROVE THAT
1T Is AT LEAST UNUSUAL

Speaking of the weather, it is at
least unusual. In the memory of
the Oldest inhabitant nothing of the
kind has ever occurred before in
Churchill county.
According to the records of Elmer
knight of the federal experiment
farm, the present month will far ex-
ceed the average in the number of
cloudy days and in the amount of
precipitation.
The average number of cloudy
days in December is 81, thus far in
the month there have been ten
cloudy days. The average precipi-
tation for the month for the past
thirteen years has been IT of an
inch. Up to yesterday morning
there had been 122 inches of pre-
cipitation.
The greatest amount of rain and
snow in recent years in December
was in 1917 when 10 of an inch
was registered On December 10th
of this year the precipitation was
rs which was included In a little
more than an inch of snow, on the
Gath there was 20 and on Christ
mas day only .02, on the 26th there
was .19 of an inch.
The only forecast that the local
weather man would make was that
1t is about time for change.

Secretary w. e. Barney has re-

the Churchill county chamber of
commerce take steps to obtain the
passage of the Smith-McNary senate
bill. The bill provides for immedl-
ate reclamation of arid and swamp
lands and would serve to establish
definite reclamation policy, the let

The proposed legislation would
loan, to the reclamation service,
$3.50, 100000 for the purpose of re-
claiming lands. 1t provides that the
work shall be done with ex-servtce
help and will allow ex-seryice men
exclusive rights for sixty days to en-
ter on homestead lands. The bill
would also remit taxes and interest

Under the provisions of the bill
the money loaned to the reclamation

Bad Wiring Causes
Few Fires He Says
City Engineer Gives Advice on Use
of Electrical Devices; Ayers
Fallon System Is Good

Flatirons are the most likely of
all electrical devices to cause fires
and then electric heaters and cleo
trio lights that are hung against an
inflamable surface do the greatest
damage. according to City Engineer
Crehore.
Whenever 1t is impossible to di-
rectly trace the origin of a fire il is
usually laid to bad wiring while in
fact, said the city engineer. the wir-
ing in Fallon is better than in the
average city in the state or on the
Pacific coast. The reason is that
the city of Fallon has adopted the
national fire underwriters code and
all wiring in the city must conform
strictly to those regulations.
Another dangerous practice, ac-
cording to Crehore, is to install
fuses that are larger than is neces-
sary for the ordinary house circuit,
If people would use greater caution
in installing electrical devices and
in their use the number of fires
would be greatly diminished, he
added.

Experiment To Grow
Desert Rubber Bush
Carnege Botanist Brings Plants to
haIlon From Gerlach; May be
Big Industry He Says

The question OF producing a rab-
bit bush that will be suitable for
manufacturing rubber on a large
scale, was the prime purpose of the
recent visit of Ii. M Hall, botanist
representing the Carnege institution,
TO Fallon il has been announced.
Hall brought six specimens of the
bush from Gerlaeh to be transplant
ed at the federal experiment farm
here. The northern plants, he
stated, contain seven per cent rub
Der while the local plants contain
with him, during his visit. plant
from near Mono Lake, California, a
plant that weighed sixty pounds.
The purpose OF the experimental
work is to produce large plant
that will contain high percentage
of rubber, by grating and selection.
The plant is a typical desert
plant. according to E. Knight, chem
ist at the experiment farm, and will
withstand large amount of alkai.
Consequently it is possible, if suit
able plant can be produced, to util-
ize large areas OF land, that are unfit
for other cultivation, to grow the
rabbit bush.
As a by-product of the rubber
production, Knight stated, it is pos
sible to manufacture a high grade
Of paper from the pulp of the plant
The method now being perfected,
he said, is one OF water fiotation that
corresponds to the oil fotation sys-
TEN being used in the reclaiming of
minerals.
Knight added that the work of
Hail is of a very essential nature.
The United States is self supporting
in every important manner except
rubber, he said. At present all rub
Der used in this country is imported
from South America and there is
none grown here as yet. If the ex-
periments are successful it is expect
ed that a few years will see new
industry appear in the West.

Pittman Resolution
To Aid Oil Leasers
Nevada Senator Fails to Wait to be
Petitioned; Starts Action to
Relieve Holders

That Senator Key Pittman did
not wait to be petitioned to act for
the oil lease holders of the state is
shown by the following dispatch to
the Standard by the National Press
Association:
During the war period many man
ufacturing concerns that before that
time had been engaged in supplying
oil companies, prospectors, etc., con-
verted their plants into establish
ments for the making of supplies
needed for war purposes. With the
signing of the armistice. 1t was i'm
possible for many of the smaller OPP
orators to secure drills, castings and
other articles with the result that
the prospector and small operator
could not proceed to develop his
property and the laws were such az
to cause ground to be forfeited, II
he did not do a certain amount of
work on his claim. In order that
the prospector and small operator
might have his rights protected,
Senator Pittman has introduced a
joint resolution which will permit
the Secretary of the Interior to ex-
tend the time during which work
has to be done. With the passage
of this resolution through the Sem
ate it will go to the House Of Repre-
lsentatives for action by the men,
bers of that body. This proposition
directly concerns those interested in
developing properties which are
thought to contain coal, phosphates,
oil, oil shale, gas and sodium. The
position taken by Senator Pittman
is that If the prospector is prohibit
ed from complying with the law be-
cause the government had taken
over these plants the small operator
and prospector should not suffer
and he should be given an extension
of time in which to secure the ma
terials he needs and also to have
time in which to do the work. II
the resolution passes 1t will be retro
active.
A petition addressed to all Nevada
representatives in congress Is at
present being circulated among the
lease holders in Nevada. The petit
ton was drawn up by Attorney J. D.
Finch of Reno.
A duplicate petition has been re-
ceived by the Standard and a num-
ber of signatures have thus far been
obtained. Copies of the petition
were also sent to Ely and the Fish
Lake Valley oil district

FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS OF

Although 1t is impossible to esti-
