FALLON TO HAVE BIG
MUSICAL ORGANIZATION

Next year the pupils of the gram
mar school will have an unusual op-
portunity, in the study of music.
Band and orchestra will be taught
in addition to the regular theory of
music. Any child who will purchase
an instrument can take lessons in
the school without further charge.
IL those who purchase an instrument
at once wish to start their lessons
this summer they will take their
hrst five lessons free of charge and
will Just have to pay a nominal
charge for the rest of their lessons
until school starts. 1t is hoped that
the large majority of the pupils will
take up some instrument SO that
next year the school band and
orchestra will include practically all
of the upper grade pupils.
In securing the services of Prof.
Harmon the school board has been
very fortunate as he is teacher of
experience and education. Mr.. Har-
mon has been talking to pupils at
the Oats Park school this week
about taking up orchestra and band
work and forty-nine pupils have In
dicated that they will take up the
work. The following are their
names:
Eugene York, Carlton Jones,
James Hammond, Kent Wallace,
Fred Lohse, George Wood, Eugene
Hoover, Waldo Mayfield, Loretta
Nelson, Ralph Smith, Eunice Nc
Gregor, James Wood. Paul Loft

some instrument should see Prof.
Harmon as soon as possible and
make arrangements with him.

CATTLE ASSOCIATION
MAY BE FORMED HERE
(BY A. j. Reedl


A growing demand for pure bred
cattle in the project has caused
considerable interest and seems In
fair way to become one of our best
industries. The location here of a
number of pure-bred herds especial
ly in dairy cattle, has made neces-
sary the formation of combination
of interests among the pure-bred
breeders.
An association of men owning
pure-bred livestock would be of the
geratest advantage in carrying this
work on in a systematic way. Such
an association would also incorpor-
ate men interested in pure-bred cat
tie either through part ownership of
pure-bred sires or those farmers
having an interest in owning such
animals.
In talking to the foremost breed
ers of pure-bred dairy cattle, We
find that they are heartily in accord
with forming such an organization
1t has been thought necessary in
order to crystalize this sentiment
that a meeting be called for Satur-
day, June 4th. At that time an or
ganization for the promotion of the
increase in owning, raising and i'm
porting pure-bred cattle will be CIV
en- its initial start
Many farmers at the present
time in the project are anxious to
own pure-bred animals. Under the
present circumstances, it is hard to
get in touch with the class of ami
NAL that the farmer desires. Under
the auspices of such an organiza-
tion, the animals available for those

POWER LINE HIT by
LIGHTNING DURING STORM

Fallon's electrical service was In
terrupted last evening for a period
of several hours as result of light
ming striking the transmission line
a short distance west of the substa-
tion in the western limits of the
city. Repairs were effected during
last night by the eity's electrical
workers. As result of the hap

Nevada Contracting Company One
of Large Building Firms of
Nevada In Fallon

The Nevada Contracting Com

firms of the state, acquired a four
acre tract of land IN the Oats addi-
tion last week and plans are being
matured for the erection of offices,

age of fifty feet and is so shaped
that ample space is available for
headquarters that will adequately
serve the rapidly growing local con-
cern.
e. S. Berney, S. Rosenberg and
F. E. Gibbs, all Fallon men, are the
leading spirits of the company and
1t is to their credit that some of the
largest and most difficult highway
building jobs in the state have been
satisfactorily constructed. Among
other Fallon men associated with
the company are l. II. Kent and F.
M. Wightman.
On Saturday evening camp was
broken at Walker lake where ap-
proximately II miles of very difficult
roadway was built. This skirts the
western edge of the lake and forms
a link in a highway that will ulti-
mately lead from Carson City to
Las Vegas. This is said TO be the
most scenic route within Nevada
and it's building entailed tremendous
tasks as initial work preparatory to
the main roadbuilding task. At the
outset il was found necessary to use
the water of the lake as a means of
transport for the moving of road
building materials and the company
erected docks on the eastern and
western lake shores and acquired
launches and barges. These formed
Items of heavy aggregate cost all
preliminary to the chief task in
hand. Eight miles. of watered ex-
panse were crossed with the equip
ment, including the camp estab-
lishments
Nearly 15 months were consumed
in the road building job. Experts
on highway construction from many
sections have reported on the work
performed in a highly eommenda-
tory manner, asserting that the COM
pany's handiwork stands out as a
distinct testimonial to efficiency and
honesty

being followed by new establish

engineers estimate on the job was

nished the single instance wherein
the engineering figures were fairly
approximated by tender of contract
and this was accepted.
1t is a matter of satisfaction to
Fallon people who understand that

business channels large sums of

items necessary in the conduct of |

LABOR SITUATION IN
LAHONTAN VALLEY

AS the first crop of hay will be
harvested within three weeks, it is
necessary to start canvas as to the
labor needs of the hay fields for the
first crop. If the farmer interested
will notify the farm bureau, either
by telephone or by writing, negoti-
ations will be started with some of
the labor agencies in Reno and else
where.
A rough survey so far has indi-
Gated that around five hundred men
will be needed but more positive
and certain information must be
obtained. In order to do this it
will be necessary for the project
farmer to notify central agency so
that definite action may be taken.
1t is felt that this is not too early
to start working on this situation.

Next Monday is the last day
when taxes can be paid. After then
they are delinquent and must be ad-
yertised and carry a penalty Times
are not propitious for a general rush
to the tax collectors Office and 1t
now seems likely that this county
will have the biggest delinquent list
in our history. In this regard we
are not unlike all other American
communities. A good subject for
debate by our adolescents would be,
who is to blame for the situation,
the individual or the state?"

Stored Water is
Increasing Daily
Water Supply i'm Reservoir is Rails
ing and May Reach a
High Mark

-------
1t now seems probable that the
maximum height of the impounded
water supply in the Lahontan reser-
yoir may soon exceed the high mark
established in 1919 when 10000
acre feet of water was in storage
for a short time. Starting off badly
this season late rains and a quick
runoff have brought an unlocked
for supply to the great reservoir
and photographers in charge of wa
ter statistics for the reclamation
service are highly sanguine that
not only will power shortage be
averted but that the water will come
very close to the crest of the big
dam, where the spillways have never
been used Something like 100000
acre feet of water will be within the
big reservoir when this occurs and
more seasons will probably pass be-
fore the storage will mount to the
maximum,
Yesterday the impounded supply
totaled 21S,000 acre feet as COM
pared to 100000 acre feet at cor
responding time last year. On Sun.
day the reservoir supply raised z of
a foot and on the day following 3
of a foot with a substantial raise
being recorded yesterday. At the
present time the Carson river is dis
charging 21o0 second feet and the
Truckee supply is being drawn up
on to the full capacity of the canal
connecting the reservoir with this
river.
It is asserted that we now have
an excess of water in comparison
with last year, adequate to serve all
irrigation needs within the Fallon
unit for a period of 15 days.
A report reached this city yester-
day of a break in the Truckee canal
at Fernloy which happily was err
roneous. The alarm given resulted
in the stoppage of the canal flow for
several hours.
desiring to purchase will be listed
and these lists will be published
from time to time. In this way, the
men with a grade herd can obtain
positive and definite information
from time to time.
There are a great many things
happening from day to day which
need the attention of men who are
thoroughly conversant with the
management of livestock under any
and all conditions. AT the present
time there is no such group which
has any authority to pass on items
of this nature.
The membership in this organi-
zation will not necessarily be held
to those men who own cattle. In
other localities, the banking inter
ests, the merchants and the COM
mereial body have all endeavored to
further the interests of the livestock
owners through material aid and by
encouraging at all times the breed
ing of better live stock.
