Former Fallon Man in
Long Beach Accident
l.. A. Pringle, Wife and Daughter
Narrowly Escape Death In
Leap From Trestle

According to report In Mon
days Los Angeles Times, L. A.
Pringle, who was principle of the
Fallon schools for several years,
with his wife and eleven year old
daughter, Eunice, were forced to
leap from the trestle crossing
Alamitos Bay near Long Beach.
Calf, late Sunday night to avoid
being run down by a street car The
Pringle family were with a party of
several others from Garden grove
who had been spending the day In
camp across the bay and were re-
turning to Seal Beach by way of the
trestle when the street car appear
ed. Helen Wright, 16 years old, of
Garden Grove was swept away by
the powerful current when she leap
ed into the water and was drowned
Her body was found the following
morning washed up on the beach
two miles from the scene of the ac-
cident.
That there were not more fatali-
ties is considered little short of mi
raculous. Mr.. Pringle carried his
dIughter in his arms when he jump
ed and fortunately landed in shall
low water without suffering any SER
ious injury. A short distance from
the place where he struck the wa
ter there is deep step-off from 40
to SO feet deep. 1t is believed that
ii was into this gap that Miss
Wright leaped and lost her life.
She was never seen after leaving
the trestle although she was not
missed at first in the confusion of
the work in rescuing others.
The motorman of the car stated
that conflicting shadows were caus-
ed by the moonlight and he was un-
able TO see the pedestrians in time
to stop.

HARDING BACKS UP FALL
ON NAVAL OIL SCANDAL

President Harding himself has
assumed responsibility for the naval
oil leases, according to the Wash
ington Herald, and has elected to
stand by Secretary Fall just as Pres
ident Taft first stood by Secretary
Ballinger in his controversy with
Clifford Pinchot over National con-
servation.
In the meantime, the unanimous
adoption of the LaFollette resolu-
tion for an investigation. following
the original exposure by Senator
Kendrick (Dem., Wyo.,) OF the Sc
cret deal by which these naval oil
reserves were turned over to pri-
vate interests controlled by subsidi-
aries of the Standard Oil Company,
promises that a genuine investiga-
tion will be made of the oil scandal,
and may extend to the designs of pri-
vate interests upon the forests, coal
and other mineral lands of the gov
ernment.
The mastery speeches of Sena-
tors LaFollette and Kendrick upon
this subject, and the mass of facts
they have already presented. COM
pletely refute the reasons given by
the Administration for making these
leases. The press of the country is
becoming aroused over this grab of
the public domain, involving as ii
does an onslaught upon the entire
conservation policy originated by
President Roosevelt and upheld In
part by President Taft and In whole
by President Wilson.
There is no question but that the
people of this country are devoted
to the policy of the conservation of
natural resources. and that when
they know the facts of this oil scan
dal that they will rally to the de-
fense of that policy and visit their
condemnation upon those who would
destroy It,
Among the interesting facts in
this connection is that all of our
modern war vessels are oil burners,
and 75 per cent of our great mer-
chant fleet are the same. The de-
struction OF the last of our naval oil
reserves is therefore dangerous both
to our commerce and our national
defense.

chance to get revenge next Sunday
for the defeat they suffered at the
hands of Fallon two weeks ago.
Members of the Fallon team are
practicing hard this week and expect
hard fought game Sunday as word
has been received that pitcher
from the state prison and possibly
some other players have been requi-
sitioned for this particular game.

changes are contemplated for the
Fallon team from the lineup that
was framed to play Carson in the
opening game. with the possible ex-
ception of substituting Leslie San
ford for Harvey Foulkes at second
base.
The Fallon team will assemble at
the chamber of commerce rooms at
$50 a. m, Sunday and all Fallon
base ball fans are urged to join the
team and make the trip to Carson

The annual memorial service of
the Fraternal Order of Eagles and a
Mothers Day celebration were
Jointly observed at the Rex theater
on Sunday afternoon. May 14th.
The beautiful services of the Eagles
in remembrance of their departed
brothers, the loving Mother-Day
thought, and the drawing power of
a strong program made this an out
standing event in the history of our
community. The solemn and yet
beautiful decorations, the hundreds
of carnations given In honor and de-
votion of dear mothers, the excel
lent addresses and inspiring music
were factors that lifted and thrilled
and moved the large audience to
worship and silent meditation. The
Eagles memorial service was car
ried out with solemn impressiveness
by the Past Worthy Pres, II. A.
Clark; Worthy Pres, Jim Smith,
Worthy Chaplain, J. H. Malloy; and
Worthy Secretary, r. A. Morton,
who touchingly read the names of
the departed brothers. Kendall,
Danielson, Burnett, Price, Kline.
Shirley, Black, Wightman, Lewis
and Waidley, while the mellow tones
of the bell softly answered that they
were resting in silent graves.
The Hon. Judge Ducker of Carson
City delivered the memorial address
with such masterful touch of
pathos and dignity that the great
assembly was moved to profound
realization of the value of brotherly
love, the possibility of being minis
tering angels to those who struggle
under heavy burdens and in the sun
set of the evening, the lovelines of
being remembered by dear ones af-
ter the mortal clay has tenderly
been laid to rest, those, which we
have loved long since and lost
awhile" this touching tribute to
the dead was a Strengthening COM

of loved ones and a serious exhorta-

Fine Prospects for
Oil at Diamond Well

Interest in the oil field this week
centers around operations at the
Diamond. With the bit in hard
lime formation and good showings
of oil with tremendous gas pressure,
feeling of suspense has been cre-
ated that big things are about to
happen.
Work goes on night and day at
the Fallon Union. The casing is
down and two towers are working a
twelve-hour shift each to make
speed in bringing in the we'll. Con-
tinued good showings of gas and oil
Operations at the Syndicate have
been held up until casing which has
been sent for arrives.

Senator Pittman
Fights Dunn Bill
Charges Eastern States With Fur
pose of Defeating Present Fed
eral Highway Law
PROPOSES AMENDMENTS
TO BILL If 1T PASSES
Necessity of Preserving Present
Highway Law Clearly shown In
Speech By Nevada Senator

Passage of the Dunn bill which
would reduce federal participation
in the cost of roadbuilding In Me-
vada $12,500 a mile for the fiscal
year 1922, and $4,000 a mile for
1923, was vigorously opposed by
Senator Key Pitttman last week ON
the floor of the senate. In a we'll
directed speech attacking the bill
Mr.. Pittman gave the following ar
gument:
"Of course those who have taken
particular interest In this matter
of road building understand that
there are two kinds of roads antici-
pated In the Federal highways act
primary and secondary roads. The
primary roads are interstate roads,
or roads that are supposed to be ma
tional highways In the real sense OF
the word, because they are supposed
to constitute a system of translate
roads that connect and make q
whole system.
Those roads are built in accord
ance with the plan laid down by the
Federal Highway Department. They
must be at least 20 feet wide: they
must have certain kind of founda-
tion; they must be surfaced In a GER
tain way. They are substantial.
permanent, national highways.
THE experience of the Federal
Highway Department and of the
State departments of the States.
through which these roads have
been constructed. proves that these
roads can not be constructed for less
than $4,000 or $4,000 per mile.
The secondary roads, or roads which
connect with the state highways.
may be built of less substantial ma
terial and be less expensive, because
1t Is not anticipated that they will
have the same amount of travel over
them; but the Dunn bill does not
attempt to limit the expenditure Of
roads solely, but limits It as to pri-
mary roads, these interstate nation
al highways. as well; and can not
be done. 1t means that the whole
plan of Congress in this legislation
will fall.
There will be no incentive for a
state to match, we will say, $12,600
against the Federal $12,500 In
building road from one side Of the
state to the other side, when the
state highway commission and the
Federal Highway Commission. for
that matter, state that that $4,000
will not build the character of roads
that should be built The result is
that the building will stop. The re-
suit is that the states will cease to
cooperate. They will not put up
their money, and remember that un-
der the Federal highway act, after
the road is once constructed, II must
be forever maintained at the sole
expense of the state. The state is
not going to participate In building
an unsubstatntial road. because IL
will mean that IL will have to re-
build that road every year. and the
state is not going to do it.

the Post Office Committee had of
building Federal roads solely with
