the appetite and strengthen the

ed-"0h! it's only a cold" as if
a cold was a matter Of little
consequence, but people are be-

Another Victory
Scored by Fallon
N. w. A. Team Of Reno Meets De-
cisive Defeat In Ball Game
Sunday

About two hundred fans witness
ed the slaughter of the N. w. A.
base ball team from Reno on Sunday
afternoon.
AS usual the Fallon team showed
strong with the willow. Sanford
Dickerson, M. Ferguson, Thatcher
and Foote led their mates in this de-
partment of the game.
Stewart starting on the mound for
Fallon had bad first inning. He
walked Cahlan the first man to face
him; Brooks secured a life at first
on a fielders choice. Knoblock
throwing Cahlan out at second; Har-
rison polled out a single and Foster
sent a high one between left and
center field. Foulkes playing left
field and Sanford at center raced in
for the ball. a collision resulted
which permitted Reno to count
twice. This ended the scoring for
the visitors. Stewart settled down
and for six innings allowed the visi-
tors but four hits. In the seventh
inning Steve was sent to the mound
in place of Stewart; Steve allowed
one hit after two men were down;
the head of the batting list was
looming in sight, Steve succeeded in
striking out the next man up, retir-
ing the side and preventing the visi-
tors from staging a seventh inning
rally. In the visitors half of the
eighth and ninth innings Steve sent
the men to cover in rapid-fire time
and the game was over.
Fallon started the fire works In
the first inning with five hits and
three scores; they added another In
the second. Spina pitching for Reno
proved too much for the locals in
the fourth inning. He cleverly hand
ed Sanford, Knoblock and Dicker-
son. free passage to the bench, by
striking these men out in a row.
In the fifth inning the locals bat
ted around, Powell flew out to the
catcher and Foote famed, Foulkes
got a life on an error and Mapes
Ferguson landed squarely for a two
sacker scoring Foulkes; Thatcher,
Stewart and Sanford hit safely while
Knoblock drew a pass Dickerson
the next man up was struck out but
the catcher dropped the ball and
threw wide TO first giving Dick life
and permitting two men to score.
The team had batted around and
Powell stepped to the plate for his
second turn in this inning landing
safely for a single which sent the
seventh score across the plate for
the locals. Powell was run down
between third and second for the
third out, while Dickerson was rae
ing home.
Next Sunday the big game comes
off between Sparks and the locals.
If the strike continues Sparks will
come to Fallon. In case it is called
off, the locals will journey to Sparks
accompanied by more than one hun
dred fans.
The manager of the locals was in
Reno on Friday and had an inter-
view with Manager Threlkel of the
fast Reno team, relative to a game
with that team on the local diamond.
These two teams will probably get
together during the month of Aug
uet

Lot Owners Slow in
Payment OF Paving Tax

Very few have paid the tax levied
for the paving of an 1sfoot strip
through Fallon on the Lincoln high
way, which fell due on July / Some
have expressed the opinion that they
would wait and see whether the gov
ernment comes through with Its part
of the contract, but If one will take
the trouble to consult the provisions
of the resolution which the govern
ment and the state requires passed
by the city council before they will
take action. 1t will b. seen that it is
up to the property owners of the
abuttirig lots TO pay the assessment
and get the money in the special
fund in order TO get the enterprise
under way
The resolution provides three ways
of raising the money, and Fallon
chose that of a direct assessment on
the abutting property. Notice was
given and no protest was filed. The
resolution required by the govern
ment to be passed by the city council
OF the towns desiring to avail them
selves of this federal aid, contains
this provision:
That all moneys realized there
from shall be deposited in a special
fund. and made available to the state
highway department of the state of
Nevada, at or before the time con-
struction begins, to carry out the
purposes of the resolution" "
The tax so levied bears seven per
cent interest beginning July /, 1922,
and may be paid in three annual in
stallments. However, II any one
fails to make the payments, the city
can float an emergency loan and col
lect the amount from the property.
The city has already gone to an ex-
pense of about $4,000 in preparing
for this improvement. and there is
no possibility that the government
will fail to carry out its part. as
the work is authorized by law. and
the city having entered into the con-
tract, cannot get out of 1t, so the
paving appears to be assured, even
though there may be some delay.
II the property owners fail to
pay the assessment. the city will ap-
parently be compelled to bring suit
and collect the money, which would
entail the expense of attorneys fees.
In addition to interest.

Autoist Undertakes
Race Against Time
Attempts to Lower Cross-Country
Time Record Between s. f.
And Chicago

l.. B. Miller of San Farncisco and
his mechanician left the coast city
Monday night at midnight on their
cross-eountry run which will termi-
nate in Chicago. The car, an Elgin
Six. came into Fallon on schedule
time, arriving here at IL o'clock
noon, Tuesday.
Twelve miles west OF Fallon they
had the misfortune to break hole
in the radiator which curtailed their
running time somewhat As the car
came down Williams avenue il hit a
rut in the crossing at Taylor street,
breaking both rear shock -absorbers.
This necessitated layover here for
repairs. The car was hurried to the
Fallon Garage where the repairs
were made. After about a two-hour
delay they were off for the long end
of the trip.
Except where necessary to stop
will drive night and day in order to
lower the present record of eighty
four hours. Miller expects to make
the trip in seyenty-five hours.
To avoid stops, the car carries an
extra supply of water. oil and gas,
which is forced into the respective
tanks by air guns attached to the
car for this purpose. Two extra
springs and two extra wheels are
carried. The six wire. wheels are
supplied with Sterling cord tires.
The trip is made in the interest of
the Lincoln highway association at
Mr.. Miller's own expense.
Andrew Drumm acted as pilot to
the car from a point of the highway
west of town and escorted them to
the Grimes ranch.
Mr.. Miller said 'if we can reach
the Wyoming state line not more
than five hours late we will have no
difficulty in making our schedule on
the finish"
A large crowd of people lined the
highway and cheered the men as
they drove into town.

CALL MEETING OF HAY
GROWERS AT FERNLEY

A meeting of the hay growers OF
Smith and Mason valleys, Fernley
Churchill and Pershing counties Is
called for next Sunday at Fernley
to discuss ways and means of pre-
venting disorderly and unsystematic
hay marketing.
1t is the belief of many of the
farmers of the Newlands project that
a minimum price on alfalfa hay, in
compliance with the demand will
prevent hay jockeying or price-cut-
ting among themselves, which has
so often resulted in a direct loss to
the grower.
: Senator Dressler of Douglas coun-
ty will preside at this meeting ac-
cording to the announcement of c.
A. Norcross
The local farm bureau Is hopeful
of large attendance from this sec
tion and suggest that all who can
go via the Lahontan dam. The road
to Ferniey over this route is report
ed to be III first-class shape.

sage of the Pittman act, which alone
sustained the silver mining industry
and other mining industries depend.
ent upon the production of silver the
past three years, and which will con-
tinue to sustain the industry for
years to come.
I'VE also commend him for the
following outstanding acts: For the
passage of the Pittman irrigation
act; for his successful efforts in
forcing the consideration and pass
age of the road bill, which compell-
ed the federal government to put up
SS7 to the states $13 for the build.
ing of state roads; for his support
of the war finance corporation act
extending the time wherein the gov
ernment could lend money for the
use of the farmers of the state; for
his untiring and able efforts to do
away with the determinations by the
railroad companies against the state
under the so-called long-and-short
haul; for his opposition to the Eseh-
Cummins railroad bill"

PROMISE BETTER FACILITIES
FOR FREIGHT AND EXPRESS

A change is promised the mer-
chants of Fallon by the Southern
Pacific officials which will enable
them to receive perishable and other
express from Hazen on the morning
motor. Under the present arrange
ment merchants are unable to re-
ceive vegetables, berries and other
perishable goods until the afternoon
train.
Another change in the service out
of Fallon is promised in the near
future. Freight traffic manager
Luce assured a committee from the
Chamber of Commerce that mixed
train leaving about the time the ev-
ening motor now departs would be
placed at the disposal of the ship
pers of this valley just as soon as
the matter could be taken before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. Mr. Luce told the committee
this would be done upon the occas-
ion of their visit to Carson City yes
terday,
This new train service will greatly
aid shippers of produce and espec-
tally the cantaloupe growers in get
ting their produce on the Reno and
other markets of the west.
Mr.. Luce in speaking of freight
rates to the committee said that as
soon as permissible these matters
would be adjusted to the best inter-
ests of all concerned.
This matter was taken up by the
Chamber of Commerce some time
ago. The arrangement for the SER
vice is due to the cooperation of the
American Express Company and the
Southern Pacific officials with the
local Chamber of Commerce.

The Syndicate Oil company is now

predict when they will get through

can easily imagine what will happen
in case they should break through
into an oil sand which may lie un-
derneath the present strata. From
the showing of oil in the sump box
1t is believed this we'll cannot be
