FOURTH OF JULY WAS
A QUIET DAY IN FALLON

For some unexplained reason Fall
lon people are unable To band to-
gether and celebrate the Fourth of
July date. This year witnessed the
passing of another of Uncle Sam S
natal days without a due observance.
Peregrinations of local people took
them to Reno, saltwater and else
where while excitement was not en-
tirely lacking for the stay-at-homes
who witnessed two ball games on
Monday between the Fallon team
and the team representing Sparks in
which the visitors received two
sound drubbings.
The first game won't TO the Fallon
boys by score of 81 to IL; the
second by the top heavy score OF
10 to 1
Stewart and Hawley formed the
battery for Fallon and worked to-
gether very nicely. the evening game
with Sparks being free from error.
On Sunday the American Legion
team hooked up with the fast boys
who play for Fallon losing in the
final inning, the score being Is for
Fallon to 16 for the Legion lads.
The fast Reno American Legion
ball team will be here soon to con
test with their buddies hereabouts
and the ball diamond athletes who
refer to Fallon as their home promise
the Renoites the time of their lives
when they visit this haleyon vale.

Congress Will be
Asked for Relief
Seek Passage of Federal Relief
Measure Affecting Accruals

Members of the Truckee-Carson
irrigation district board agreed at
the meeting held yesterday after
noon to urge the members of Neva
da's congressional delegation to
work for the passage of a law that
would relieve the water users of this
project from the burden that would
attend the paying of nearly 100000
in accruals, representing unpaid
maintenance and operation charges.
most of which arose in advance of
the year 1915 as a result OF the gov
ernments operation OF the Newlands
project. These charges accdm did ted
81 d time wnen tue PROJECTS percen-
lase oil land settlement Was small
and the overhead Was large, result
ing in holding certain items of cost
III aDeyance pending a more propl-
IIous time Tor payment.
1t is asserted that about $4,000
of the total of unpaid maintenance
and operations accruals arose In ad-
vance of 1915 and 1t is this sum
that will be eliminated from Uncle
Sans list of bills payable, If Neva-
da's congressional delegation can
lend the needed plausibility to the
enterprise.
With this accomplished it is pro-
posed that the district irrigation
board shall enter into contract
with the reclamation service for the
payment of the balance that would
then be admitted as just charge
against existing project water rights.
Other business was transacted by
the district board yesterday among
which was the allowing of bills
against the water users treasury.
The largest of these was claim in
favor of Cooke, French and Stod-
dard, counsel for the district who are
to receive approximately $500 for
legal services IN connection with the
defense of the district in the suit in
which protestants attacked the legal
ity of the organization and its right
to institute project drainage and
levy assessments against lands for
the payment of the attending costs
The sum of $205S was paid the legal
firm on account and 1t is proposed
to discharge the remainder of the
obligation through the issuance of
interest bearing warrants which
would be redeemed in cash within
the next two years.
