factory is a single enterprise which
demands better transportation than
is afforded by the roads of the pro-
ject at present.
The difficulties of the city OF Fall
Ion government largely correlate
around administration policies of
1920, when all salaries were in
CT eased and incumbents of offices
resigned and were reappointed In
stanter TO enjoy benefactions put
forward by themselves. The city's
overhead was very substantially In
creased by this very obvious evasion
of the provisions of law. Another
item that has gone far to dissipate
the city's surplus of cash is the Sec
ond septic tank unit. This was un-
dertaken by the city authorities on
force account and an estimated cost
of $1,000 has been exceeded until
II is now known that the proposed
innovation will cost the city's tax
payers about twice this sum.

FALLoN BOOSTERS ASKING
FOR OPTIONAL RACING ROUTE

Nevada automobile organizations
are proposing a road race to be held
on dates that will be fixed within
the near future In which Fallon
cars will be entered. 1t is proposed
to race from Reno to Elko along
the northern route, thence to Ely
and back to Reno by way of Tono-
pah. Nina, Minden and Carson City.
A betting pool is being pledged in
this city that will be placed on en-
trants who race from Reno to Elko
by way of the Lincoln highway, II
this route can be made optional. w.
A. Keddie proposes to enter his
Pierce-Arrow car for the run IL ne

he is certain that no man in the
world can approach the mark that
he will set up in this event and use

prise. Back of this enterprise are
the county commissioners. AS the
county's executives the commission
ers have provided initial shipments
of four cars of gravel and to the
four men first named is due the
credit for placing this gravel on es-
pecially bad stretches of highway
This gravel was loaded at the
Hazen pit by r. r. Gamble and so
far the unloading, drayage and
spreading on roads has been per-
formed by local citizens. Cress &
Fort, T. H. Depp, B. c. Archer and
others of the local citizenship are
among those who have aided the
four owners of stock who are prime
movers in the good roads under
taking.
II is the purpose of the county
board TO continue supplying gravel
for road uses and it is hoped that
the cooperative movement that is
now successfully launched may be
continued indefinitely all to the end
that road improvements may be
quickly effected.
The first bad road to receive at
tention runs south from Taylor
street skirting the J. w. Ferguson
farm. This has been much improy-
ed. Saltwater avenue in this city
is now being gravel coated for
quite distance and other projects
are to be undertaken at once.
No citizen, claiming public spirit
as character istie. can afford to re-
fuse to enroll in the good roads
movement.

Knight Was Here

c. S. Knight, secretary of the
Reno chamber of commerce, visited
Fallon Saturday in an unofficial ca
pacity. He is striving to bring
about a coordination of Reno and
Fallon interests and direct these In
the work of utilizing the surplus wa
ters OF the Truckee river TO the best
advantage. He is seeking a survey
of the lands that might be benefit
ed by irrigation. This is aftermath
of the proposal to build a reservoir
at Spanish Springs valley. Reno
business interests have belatedly
recognized the value of the water
that would be diverted and hope to
be able to put forward a substitute
plan which would return more direct
benefit to Reno.

who have heard rehearsals assert
that the talent invoked represents a

Two naughty little girls who
have disobeyed their mother are
transported to Doll Land by the
queen of the fairies and the fairies.
They meet and see all of the dolls
of Doll Land. At first they are
pleased but after remaining there
awhile number of unpleasant
things occur and they decide they
do not like Doll Land quite as well
as they thought they would. They
begin to wish they were back home
again.
The fairy queen and all her
fairies appear and the queen re-
quests the fairies to return them to
their home.
The girls decide they are willing
to go. The fairies take them back
home and the girls decide never to
be naughty again.
The finale consists of several
