Wealth Lies in
Our Great Lake
John q. Taylor, Practical. Hard
Headed Business Man Extolled
Newlands Project

John c. Taylor, Nevada's largest
owner OF livestock. farm and range,
Is in Fallon from Lovelock on bus
ines matters. Discussing this valley
and its certain future yesterday, i,e
said:
THE great wealth of Fallon and
the Newlands project Is contained
in the great artificial lake 16 miles
west of Fallon The water supply
guaranteed by this great utllitarian
basin, created through the foresight
Iof the engineers who represent the
goyernments reclamation service,
has a value that cannot be estimated
II forms a guarantee of permanence
for Fallon and prosperity for those
who reside In the Newlands projeee
4 cannot emphasize too strongly
the need for active work on the part
of those who are SO emphatically
favored, for much remains to be ae-
complished If the fullest passible
measure of good is to issue from the
assured irrigation water supply. In
this connection drainage of farm
lands, must have first place. You
have the water in plenitude; now
you must arrange to take care of
this water.
F. When ] first went into the valley
of the Humboldt drainage diff
culties were unthought of. My land
holdings were 35 feet above the un-
derground supply, yet as the years
passed others appropriated water
and irrigated and in a comparatively
short time | found my alfalfa fields
pass from their early status and
crops languished l did what you
will positively have to do here and
instituted drainage with the usual
results. Fertility come back, yet
some of my acreage required three
years of treatment before a full
reclamation had been effected
Thus you will see that / suffered
loss through failure to understand
the true situation and my observa-
tions here teaches me that land
owners in this valley are to suffer
similarly unless they combine to
hasten the institution of drainage.
Lackadaisical and procrastinating
policies have no place in the present
situation in this valley
Il see a tremendous field for in
vestment of money and energy in
the Newlands project, and it is my
opinion that you are to have one of
the greatest agricultural districts In
the entire country. To be sure,
dairying, small fruits and garden
truck must be depended upon TO
bring you to the front but you have
a warm soil, long growing season.
backed by a great water supply and
The ultimate result is certain
Il feel that the Newlands project
residents should understand and ap-
preciate the efforts Mr.. Wingfield is
directing toward development in the
Fallon neighborhood. He is moved
by high and constructive ideals and
has no thought of personal gain. /;
Is true that he strives to conduct mis-
enterprises along strict business
lines, yet fair people would ask no
other course. He has invested for
tune in this valley and maintains an
interest in its possibilities that
stamps him as a man of the broadest
vision"

Undertaking

Authority was received yesterday
for the commencement of work on
the 100000 drainage system pro-
jected for the Newlands project and
Project Manager John f. Richardson
and Drainage Engineer A. W.
Walker have started to set in motion
the organization that Will have the
great enterprise In hand
The news is considered the most
momentons of any received in this
project from Washington in many
years. Far reaching benefits are
assured and a confidence in the val
ley's future will be carried wherever
people maintain an interest In west
ern irrigation affairs.
Work will be inaugurated In at
least three distinct districts. Two
92-ton Bucyrus exeayators and what
is known as p. & II. machine of
smaller capacity will be
moved at once and crews to operate
them have been appointed. The
smaller exeayator will be started TO
work on what is known as the Soda
Lake drains. 90 Of the larger ma
chimes will be set in motion at Car

will be moved TO near the c. p Whit
ney ranch southeast of this city.
The main drains will be dug to
an average depth of ten feet and to a
width OH the bottom of nine feet and
these great bitches are so planned
that water disposal facilities will be
al hand for all of the affected areas
within the project.
Co-ineident with the institution of

Public Schools to
Open Sept. 9th
Falion's Public Schools Will Open
On Monday, September 9th,
With Big Increases

Fallon school authorities are max
ing all arrangements for the open
ing of school on Monday, September
9th. The county high school faculty
was made complete this week when
Miss Olive p. Cowplits, of Portland
Ore. was engoged to teach domestic
science and general subjects at a
salary of $3.50 per annum. She Is
the last of the faculty of eight to
be engaged and will come to Fallon
with splendid recommendations
Principal Geo E. McCraeken, for
merly deputy state superintendent
of public instruction and later dep
uty state auditor, arrived here Mon
day and has entered upon his duties
as the head of the county high
school. Prof. McCracken will direct
and teach and big things are expect
ed of him both as an educator and as
an organizer. He is noted as a dis
ciplinarian and will have a greatly
enlarged student body under his
charge Plans are being made for
the care of about 260 students, an
increase of about so over the attend
ance last school year.
The county board of education is
meeting this increased demand at an
increase of salary outlay paid facul-
ty members of 81 $50 and in addi-
tion high school advantages are to
be enlarged to include one extra
grade made necessary by the gradua-
tion of a mid-year class from the
Fallon elementary schools.
The Fallon high school is second
in size in the state and should the
ratio of increase recorded this year
be maintained for long it will pass
Reno before many years.
Miss Mae Smith, the highly eff
eient teacher who was in charge of
the Island district school last year,
has been engaged to teach the B End
grade in the Fallon schools, round
ing out the faculty of 20 that will
teach subjects in the grades through
out the next year. Prof. j. j. Beatty,
city superintendent, will teach and
supervise and his plans call for
many new benefits for the student
body.

George WingfieId
BuysBoth hBanks
Institutions Are TO be Consolidated
And New Organization VIII be
Announced i'm Few Days

A deal was concluded this mora
ing of the utmost portenf for gooe
when George Wingfield, Nevada 3
leading banker and business man,
formally acquired control of the cap
ital stocks of the Churchill County
Bank and the Bank of Fallon. Co
incident with the deal comes the an
nouncement from Mr.. Wingfield that
he will Immediately consolidate the
banks merging them into an insti-
tuition that will fully care for all
legitimate banking demands that
may arise in this county
This deal represents the climax to
negotiations that were set afoot by
Mr.. Wingfield some weeks ago and
comes in fulfillment of his personal
aims to engage in activities in this
community on broad and compre-
hensiye scale.
During the last two years he has
made money outlays here aggregat-
ing half a million dollars and he ex-
poets to coordinate his banking insti-
tuition in Fallon with his several en-
terprises already instituted. In addi-
ton he expects to set afoot new
projects.
Mr. Wingfield left today for Reno
and San Francisco and the new or
ganization that will conduct the
bank consolidation will be effected
and announced within a few days

sufficient justification for the board
to order an investigation for the
report There is, however, another
feature of the matter which is of
greater importance than any or all
of the reasons given above. A COM
munity pasture has been sponsored
as a proper district activity and Is
almost unanimously desired by the
people to fill a pressing need in con-
nection with the stock and dairy in
dustry of the valley. II is positively
certain that in the near future, there
will be no surplus storage water
available for pasture use, and, unless
drainage or waste water can be con-
served and used, there can be no
pasture whatever. II this water Is
now allowed to run to waste. 1t may
be appropriated by private interests
and be forever lost to the district.
Water is the most valuable element
of Neyada's agriculture and addi-
tional pasture is one of the most
urgent needs of the Lahontan valley
farmers. If 5000 acres of good
permanent pasture can be developed,
its capital value would not be less
than quarter million dollars.
Knowing these facts. if we fail to
make every reasonable effort within
the power and authority of this
board to conserve these invaluable
assets for the future use of the peo-
pie of the district, we could Justly
be rated as men lacking In vision,
public spirit and common sense, and
unfit to be in charge of the business
of the district.
l hope the board will take favor
able action on this request. but my
previous failure to impress the board
with the need for action has led me
to bring 1t before you in this manner
so that the people of the district
may know that | have not failed to
call your attention to this important
subject.
Very respectfully submitted
