Mr.. M. B. johnson,
Pres, Greenhead Hunting Club,
Fallon, Nevada.
My Dear Mr.. Johnson A friend
of mine has sent me a copy of a cir
cular letter that is apparently being
sent out by you protesting against
the passage of the bill authorizing
the Department of the Interior to
convey the community pasture in the
Newlands project to the Truckee-
Carson Irrigation District unless
there is placed in the bill an amend
ment reserving to the Greenhead
Hunting Club the hunting rights up
on the lands.
Several months ago | was inform
ed that the Hunting Club and others
had been excluded from hunting on
the community pasture by reason of
some alleged damage by some par
ties to the fence around the pasture.
Immediately took the matter up
with Mr.. Arthur p. Davis, Director
of the Reclamation Service. and he
sent a telegram to Mr.. Richardson,
agent In charge, requesting him to
permit hunting upon the pasture un-
der such restrictions as would safe
guard the property of the govern
ment and the stock being pastured
thereon. Mr.. Richardson consum-
mated this arrangement. am
simply mentioning this to show you
that am sympathetic with your de-

Show Much Interest
In Coming Contests
Local Basketball Players Keen To
Meet Loyelockers; Girls
Team Is Chosen

Interest at the Fallon high school
is at white heat over the coming
basketball games between the boys
and girls teams of the local school
and the teams from Lovelock
in the Churchill county high school
gymnasium Saturday evening.
The games will be the first played
by the local teams this year while
the Lovelockers have already met
the teams from Winnemucca high
school. Lovelock and Fallon have
long been bitter rivals for seholas-
tic honors and the coming games
promise to afford the fans the best
possible chance to witness keenly
contested exhibitions of basketball
playing.
Both of the Fallon teams are out
to win the state championship and
every indication at present points
toward big possibility of the Fall
lonites carrying off both pennants
at the state tournament.
The boys received a workout last
Thursday evening when a group of
town men played a practice game
against them. The high school
team won an easy victory over the
older players and on several oecas-
ions exhibited stellar qualities.
Coach Waite has not yet an
nounced the first squad and stated
that he would not fully decide on
the FIVE boys who are to start the
game until a few hours before the
contest, due to the fact that there
is such a quantity of excellent ma
terial from which to choose.
Miss Helen Fuss, coach of the
girls team, gives the following line
up for the coming contest: for
wards. May Mills and Stephanie
Davies; centers, Theo Morgan and
Gertrude Nelson; guards. Flossie
Travers and Helen Dickinson; sub
stitutes, Francis Latin, Louise Loft
house and Jessie Dempsey.

Storage Plant to
be Finished Soon
Builder Hopes to Operate Ice and
Cold Storage Business BY
January First

Work on an Ice and cold storage
plant on Main street, south of the
Churchill creamery has been start
and 1t is expected that the plant will
be in operation by the first OF the
year. according to Charles Mckay,
owner of the property.
The plant will have a capacity of
five tons of ice and 10 tons of cold
storage, said Mckay and will cost
approximately $4,000.
Mckay has had much previous
experience in the cold storage in
dustry. He came to Fallon from
Lewiston, Idaho, several weeks ago
and Immediately -made arrange
ments to start work.
The building will be sixty feet
long and thirty-three feet wide.
The walls will be insulated with
eight inches of packed saw dust.
Besides an engine and ice rooms
the plant will contain three cold
storage rooms that will permit
varying degrees of temperature, ae-
cording TO the builder
The ice will be manufactured
from raw water, rather than dis
titled water, said Mckay, thus in
suring a minimum of impurities.
The water used will be of the city
supply, and any impurities that are
contained in the natural water will
be removed mechanically instead of
by distillation.
The outside walls of the build
ing have been completed and work
of installing the machinery has
been started When the plant is
ready to run Mckay will be assist
ed by an experienced engine man
who will come here from califor-
MIA, said the owner.
The plant is being constructed to
handle fruit and meats primarily
and the owner hopes to develop a
large local market for his ice.

BIRDS BRING
SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS
TO PROJECT; ESTIMATE

Six thousand dollars for turkeys,
is the estimated amount spent In the
Newlands project this year for
Thanksgiving birds. The birds we're
shipped to neighboring Nevada
points and to the Pacific coast for
consumption. The six thousand dol
lars is based on the fact that eight
tons of national birds were shipped
from Fallon for the. Thanksgiving
trade. The prices, ranged from thir-
ty-fye cents to forty cents per
pound.
And enough turkeys are said to
be left to feed a large number of
people at Christmas time. for the
eight tons composed only a minor
portion of the turkey crop of the
project.

Excellent Future For Sugar
Industry In Fallon He Says
A. w. BLACK ADDRESSES COMMERCE
REGARDING IAHoNTAN COMPANY
MEETING

There is no reason why we
should stumble or even stutter In
approaching the future" said A. w
Black, president and secretary
of the Lahontan sugar company. In
speaking to the members of the
Churchill county chamber of COM
merce Monday evening. I'VE are
here to stay" he continued. "and
We are here to do business with
you folks and other folks and we
are going to put the sugar business
on a paying basis, not only for our
selves but for the farmers of this
community"
In speaking of the cooperation
that is necessary to make the sugar
industry in this state a success the
speaker said that there are two
mental phases that prompt men to
get together in chambers of COM
merce. The first, he said, is be-
cause the chamber of commerce is
an institution of service. its men,
bers are prompted by an unselfish
devotion to the community and the
second reason is that the chamber
of commerce exemplifes the spirit
of democracy, democracy that is
classified only by the ability to
serve. And it is those phases, in
the opinion of the speaker, that will
make toward success for the sugar
business here.
Il am very well satisfied with
many things l have found here, ;"
Black said, but there is much
progress and development to be
made. The state of Nevada and the
county of Churchill will grow and
produce sugar beets, but the big
gest factor is the human factor and
think that is in our favor.
Some of course will refuse to
plant beets again. after the bad
crop that was. harvested this year,
but more will learn by the expert
ence of others and plant beets
again." he said There is no
reason why Nevada cannot become
sugar state"

Reno-Hazen Road to
Be Considered Soon
Meeting Called for December Goth
in Reno; Fallon to be
Represented

meeting of representatives
from Churchill, Lyon and Washoe
counties TO outline a definite plan
for the construction of a highway
from Reno to Hazen has been call
ed for December goth, by the Reno
chamber of commerce.
The request for such a meeting
was made by the Churchill county
chamber of commerce shortly after
the Phipps-Dowell road bill was
passed. The Reno-Hazen highway
will come under the primary system
of highways. as outlined by the
bill. Continuation of the highway
to Fallon is being considered by
many advocates of good roads. The
road from Fallon to Hazen would
come under the secondary system,
not being of interstate Importance,
and consequently will not be given
first consideration.

sires, because | am myself an ardent
hunter when get time to enjoy this
sport, which, unfortunately for me,
is very rare.
As I gathered from the public
meeting held in Fallon in Septem-
Der that the entrymen on the New
lands project desire a conveyance Of
the community pasture to the Irri-
CATION District, have attempted to
carry out their wishes by the intro
duction of the bill. In the mean
time, | presented the matter to the
Reclamation Service and urged them
to grant lease pending the passage
of the bill. This at the time l was
encouraged to believe they would do.
If and when the bill becomes a
law, the Truckee-Carson Irrigation
District will own the land and the
land will be under the control of the
Board of Directors of the District.
The Board of Directors of the Irri-
cation District will then have the
right to grant the privilege of shoot
ing within the limits of the land,
and | have not the slightest doubt
that the members of the Greenhead
Hunting Club, all of whom, / be-
lieve, are residents within the recla-
nation district and most of whom
are either interested in or related to
the families who control the district,
will have no trouble in obtaining
just as good privilege as they now
have.
III the Greenhead Hunting Club is
not satisfied to trust the matter to
the district in the event the district
acquires title under my bill. l sug-
gest that they call a public meeting
and there thrash the matter out and
agree on the character of amend
ment that they desire added to my
bill aud | will take great aleasure In

Recent investigations by the
United States Geological Survey. De-
partment of the Interior, in what is
known as the superpower zone-the
dense industrial region between
Washington and Boston-show a
waste of coal used in the production
of power by the industrial establish
ments in this zone in the year 1919
to the amount of 13,502,100 tons.
In other words, the energy develop
ed by these establishments by the
burning of 19,125,900 tons of coal
could have been developed in large
central power plants by the burning
of 5,623,S00 tons. This was a waste
through inefficient independent pow
er production of II per cent in coal
consumption.

Traffic Report Is
Made by Department
State Highway Men Take Census of
Travel on Reno-Carson City
Concrete Road

The Nevada state highway assoc
iation recently completed traffic
census on the Reno-Carson city
concrete highway. The census was
taken at a point about two miles
south OF Reno at the junction of the
Moana springs road and the high
way. The census has now been TAX
en- on three different years, 1917,
1890 and the recent one, taken dur
ing the last week in October, ae-
eording to the highway department.
In 1917 the road was unpaved.
In 1920 the road was paved from
Reno TO Browns and for two short
sections near Washoe City when the
census was taken. In 1921 the
payoment was completed to the
south of Washoe county line near
Lakeview. The count was taken
from Z a. m. to Q p. m, the report
states. each day for a week.
The following result was an
nounced: In 1917 there were 221
single horse drawn vehicles, 149 In
1920 and 81 in 1921. There were
271 vehicles with two or more hors-
es counted In 1917. 14S In 1920 and
1Ol in 1921. The census takers
counted 2,57S motor vehicles In
1917. ASA In 1890 and 6,sO5 in
1921.
"While these counts do not show
the maximum amount of traffic over
this highway, which undoubtedly
would occur some time during the
summer months" the report states,
"they should, however, be repre-
sentative of the average traffic
throughout the year"

tion and this year 1t heads the list.
Michigan faced many OF the same
difficulties that must be faced here,
the speaker said, but they can all
be overcome. The future of the
industry must not be measured by
this year, 'for we know that the
beets that were grown here are
very good"
In speaking OF the sugar that
was manufactured at the local plant
the speaker said that it was of the
best in every respect and is as good
as any produced in the United
States. There is no material differ
ence between cane and beet sugar,
said Black, beet sugar can be used
In every way that cane sugar can
Black expressed great pleasure
in the attitude of the farmers re-
garding the partial crop failure this
year. There is no distrust ON the
part of the farmers toward the
sugar company and there is no dis
trust on the part of the sugar COM
pan toward the farmers. he con-
cluded
Several beet growers that were
present at the meeting stated that
they intended to raise beets next
year and asked every farmer In the
valley to put in a few acres at
least. President Clarke, of the
chamber of commerce, spoke of the
feeling of optimism that seems to
pervade throughout the community
for the future of the industry
That the entire state is ready to
help Fallon and Churchill county
in the effort to make the sugar In
dustry one of the big features Of the
state is shown by the fact that Me-
vada sugar week will be held the

pose of getting the people to use
