FACTORY OFFICIALS TO
BE IN FALLON THIS WEEK

Manager Fred Hinze, of the Fal-
Ion sugar factory, received a mes
sage Monday from A. w. Black, of
Bay City, Mich, advising him that
he will be here on Friday of this
week in company with several of the
heaviest stockholders In the COM
pany owning the local factory and
that the party will spend several
days in surveying the situation In
this valley. Farmers will be inter-
viewed, the big plant inspected,
plans made for the current year and
fixed policy set afoot On next
Monday evening the farmers and
business men of the community are
urged TO be present at the regular
commercial club meeting for a con-
ference that will be very fruitful If
everybody who should do so at
tends and enters into the spirit of
the occasion. Admittedly, the sugar
factory and sugar beet culture here
are subjects that must be given full
and earnest consideration at this
time and no one should lose the op-
portunity to be heard in the confer
ence Monday evening.

The water users meeting held Saturday
evening that project residents who differ on
the drainage subject might take friendly
counsel developed into a talkfest and the real
purposes of the meeting remain unserved all
because Pat McCarran, mentally flatulent and
sometimes called an attorney, usurped practi-
cally the entire evening for word bandying,
personalities and sarcasm. McCarran is the
legal rag baby of wrong doers here and else
where and they hug him to their breasts in
moments of extremity for Pat is an effective
as we'll as cherubic pleader and nearly always
carries the trial jury's goat home with him in
his automobile tonneau. The meeting of Sat
urday evening was held at the Churchill coun-
ty chamber of commerce rooms and had bare
ly gotten under way when Pat showed up.
From this time on the meeting was all Pat
and nonsense with the result that numerous
speakers scheduled to talk and counsel were
deprived of the privilege, and the rapproach-
ment that was sought by conservative and
constructive minds representing the two local
viewpoints on project drainage was not eff
fected
McCarran represents the 125 protestants
against project drainage and he resorts to
ways that are dark and devious in this repre-
sentation His antics of Saturday proved to
fair minds generally that he would beg the
back into the ways of gentry of his type gen.
orally by appealing to sentiment and preju-
dice. Of course Pat opened his buccal cavity

OREGON MAN TO BRING
FINE DAIRY HERD HERE

Shober j. Rogers closed a deal
Saturday with ]. r. Moben of Lane
county, Ore, In which they Will con-
duct dairy on Mr.. Rogers ranch
south of this city and share equally
in the gross butter receipts. Un Ter
the terms of the contract Mr.. Rogers
is to furnish the hay and dairy
plant while Mr.. Moben is to furnish
and care for the dairy herd He Is
the owner of 81 head of pure bred
Ayrshires, which he has brought up
to fine point with care and breeding
and he will bring this to Fallon
within the next few days and estab-
lish 1t on the Rogers ranch.
In making this deal these men
point the way TO what others may
do in the matter of solving the hay
marketing question which is ad-
mittedly acute in every alfalfa pro-
ducing section of the west where the
development of the dairy has failed
to keep pace with the increase of
the hay production. At the lowest
possible market price for butter fat
Mr.. Rogers expects TO reap a greater
return for his hay tonnage than
would be possible under the old sys-
TEN of marketing hay baled and in
addition his ranch will lose none of
its fertility but will ON the other
hand have this restored to the
land.

FROM OUR COUNTY AGENT

II is necessary to form some sort
of a melon growers association so
that action may be taken in an or
ganized way. With no information on
the acreage planted last year or the
amount to be planted no concerted
action can be taken. An association
could contract now for this sum
mer's crop. The cantaloupe grow
ers of Turlock have awarded a con-
tract to the California Vegetable
Union. The melon grower of this
project must do the same or quit
the business Many men here have
become discouraged at the failure
to market good crops of melons.
An association must be formed to
protect the grower. The association
can handle the situation by dispos-
ing of its products through its own
office. This would be the most sat
isfactory way for the type of melon
grown here. A meeting will be held
under the auspices of the Farm Bu-
reau in the near future.
We have a fair coming up which
promises to be the best ever Let's
make IL one that will be remember
ed. One the entire state will hear
about. Last years fair was sue
cess but we must start planning
this years fair now. Many of the
herds we have in the project will
go to the California state fair. Our
date must not interfere with others
going or coming.
The first week In September has
been suggested. The exhibitors are
the ones to decide 1t. Therefore,
let's hear from Morgan, the Here
ford man, and Long, the Holstein
man. We want their herds at our
fair this year. A. ]. REED

Submit Plan
to Secretary
Board of Engineers Sitting in Reno
to Consider Storage Con-
cluded Work

The board of reclamation engi-
neers that met In Reno throughout
last week to consider the subject of
additional storage for the Newlands
project finished the work In hand
Friday evening 1t is understood
that very comprehensive review of
the entire storage situation was eff
fected and that recommendations
have gone forward to the secretary
of the interior. This board com
prised F. e. Weymouth, chief engi-
neer of the reclamation service; d.
c. Henny, of Portland, Ore, and
James Mum, of the Denver U. s.
r. S. Office, consulting engineers;
Project Manager John F. Richard
son, and F. E. homestead. an assist
ant engineer in the service who had
direct charge of the preliminary
work effected at Spanish Springs
valley and Kings Basin, alternative
sites that were considered by the
board
Project expansion through addi-
tional storage is the end sought by
the reclamation service and 1t is
confidently believed that some easy
and practical way will be found
shortly to undertake the enlarge
ment of the Newlands project, al
though 1t is not known definitely
what recommendations went for
ward to the secretary of the interior
who is the final arbiter in the mat
tor.
1t is not thought that the owners
of Fallon unit water right contracts
will be asked to pledge themselves
in advance for any amount as re-
payment of the construction cost of
the enterprise. This point is worthy
of emphasis in view OF the great
ado that has been made over previ-
Gus tentative announcements rela-
tive to this matter.
The money for the additional
storage project is available. there
being something like one million
dollars in the reclamation fund that
can be applied to the project ex-
tensions in contemplation. These
extensions embody areas variously
estimated at from $1,000 to $4,000
acres in extent. the first figure be-
| ing the actual minimum, while re-
vision of engineering surveys may
make additions possible to bring the
sum total of new lands up to as high
a figure as $4,000 acres.
A committee of project water
users has been named to classify
lands and report to the reclamation
authorities on their findings as to
this area and its desirability as
Newlands project adjuncts This
committee consists of w. II. Austin.
of Fernley, w. A. Harmon and Ben
Holmes of Fallon.
The hope runs strong throughout
the entire project that either the
Spanish Springs or Kings Basin
sites will be declared for by the rec
lamation service and that active
construction work will be started
within the near future on both the
projected reservoir and the water
distribution system that would
serve the new lands.
People familiar with conditions
In the Fallon unit assert that a
proper Installation of the territory
decade hence must include an en-
larged water supply. Fertile unoc-
eupied lands lie in every direction
from this city and no plan for the
future would be complete without a
provision for bringing these under
water

they may do a small part at least
in helping to save the childhood that
is now passing through one of the

The Churchill County Commercial
Club Held Interesting
Meeting Monday

A very representative group of
men attended the meeting Of the
commercial club Monday evening.
President II. A. Clarke explained
that the first in order of new bust
ness concerned the move to change
the name of the club to the Church
i'll County Chamber of Commerce.
Action was deferred for another
week to allow the legal committee
to make needed investigation of the
subject.
The matter of providing addi-
tional hitching posts in the city for
farmers horses was discussed and
II was decided to provide new facili-
ties on the vacant space between the
city hall and Williams avenue.
J. M. Heizer spoke to the club
membership on the attitude of the
drainage protestants, asserting that
their position had been grossly mis-
understood. He reeited in clear
manner the contributing causes of
the protests and the incidents occur
ring as aftermath of the movement.
e. p. Osgood and Roy Leidy spoke
on related topics and the friendly
discussion was carried along later
by Attorney +. Il. Wood, who told
how drainage had increased the
values of his land holdings and
made an unhealthful section over
into one highly desirable as a place
of business and residence. The
worth of land. said Mr.. Wood. has
Leen multiplied many times, unbe-
lieyable results have been attained
in other ways and he recited the ad-
yantages that go with free govern
ment money as compared to funds
derived from private sources.
/. II. Kent gave notice that he
would introduce a resolution at the
club meeting that adopted. would
commit the club to thep Ian of max
ing the Fallon-Carson City route a

STEWING DRIED FRUIT.

SIEW1NG DRIED FRUIT.
When stewing dried fruit 1T is an
economy of time and fuel if two
pounds or more are cooked at time.
Of course the amount depends entire
ly on the size of ones family, but
the idea is to cook more than enough
for just one meal at time.
After the fruit is cooked it may
be put into sterilized pint jars and
sealed and kept Indefinitely.
Menu for Tomorrow
Breakfast-Stewed dried apricots,
broiled bacon, scrambled eggs, brown
bread toast, coffee.
Northumberland dried beef.
baked potatoes, bran bread, rhubarb
and orange jam, tea.
Dinner-Liver and bacon, mash ed
potatoes, baked onions, jellied tomato
salad, cherry pudding, coffee.
My Own Recipes.
Apricots are a rather tart fruit
and therefore especially acceptable in
the spring when the appetite is bit
jaded. 1t is always a good plan to
serve a fruit that is rather acid when
bacon makes the breakfast.
Rhubarb and Orange jam.
Two cups finely cut rhubarb, 8
oranges, cups granulated sugar.
Remove the outer stringy part of
the rhubarb and cut in tiny pieces.
There should be cups. Remove the
rinds from oranges, scrape off as
much of the white part as possible
and cut in shreds. Take the pulp out
of the skin and put pulp, shredded
rind, rhubarb and sugar into pre-
serving kettle. Bring slowly to the
boiling point. Skim carefully and
boil until the jam thickens when a
little is tested on a cold saucer. Fill
jelly glasses with jam. When cold
cover with parafTine and store in a
dry, cool place.
JeIlied Tomato Salad.

sentation of 1.-The Passion Flower"
with Nance O'Neil in the role of Raj
munda at the Belmont theater in
New York, Jacinto Benavente, the
author, was comparatively unknown.
True. the Washington Square Play
ers had done one of his short plays
at the Comedy theater in New York,
but the atmosphere SO essential to
the plays of this master dramatist
was totally lacking. and it required
only fortnight to prove 1t fall
ure. Two years later, the theater
Guild, which later did st. John 1r-
vines John Ferguson" made a
commendable production of one of
his fanciful spectacular comedies. But
Bonavente Is essentially a dramatist,
not a writer Of comedy. and THE
Passion Flower" is the most power

after this play had been produced
under the management Of Richard
G. Herndon, and Miss O'Neil had
triumphed in the leading role, that
the man and his work became known.

LAST CHANCE TO SEE
"CIyILEAN CLOTHES"

Tonight is the last chance to see
Civilian Clothes the screen portrayal
of the brilliant stage comedy that took
broadway by storm and which has talk
Ell Fox theater patrons by storm this
week. The story, well filmed, is a
good one. In brief: They met in the
Argonne under fire. A romantic girl
and a big, Yankee captain. Met and
loved and secretly married. But when
the war glamour faded and her hero
appeared in her aristocratic home in
loud suit of hand-me- down civies she
didn't rush to lay her head on his rain
bow necktie. So Fighting Sam Nc
Ginnis opened a new attack, became her
fathers butler, hur9bled her, maddened
her, trained her: until one night she
crept into his room and-they lived
happy ever after. The Fantomas serial,
an Outing Travelogue, Sunshine comedy
and a news reel are also on the screen.
Tomorrow there will be a complete
change of movies and vaudeville, but
tonight the vaudeville bill, and a good
one too. will consist of Lew Rice, a
black faced comedian, lately with a
minstrel troupe; Arch and Vedder, sing
ing and dancing with some tart male
mad female repartee, keane, Adams and
Knight in a little drama sketch, AN
Irish Courtship'' and the farce comedy
act Racing Days-Just Before Post
