Gently to file the record on appeal
in the case which was decided some

This is one of the most import

the largest of its kind in the history
of the state with the exception of the
famous Quinn River suit.
The bill of exceptions alone COM
prises $500 pages and $4,000 folios.
This will constitute practically the
entire record on appeal. The case

for nearly two years. The Quinn

Abandon Plans for
aying IN faIlo.a
MAY CONSTRUCT PAVING
BY NEW ROUTE IN SPRING
Blame Richardson for Failure to
Reach Agreement on Removal
of Scott Ditch

Attorney A. l.. Haight returned
Sunday from San Francisco where he
represented the City of Fallon In
conference with Director Davis of
the Reclamation Service, Project
Manager Richardson and G. w.
Borden of the State Highway De-
partment. Plans for paved road
through the city of Fallon which
have been held up pending salts
factory agreement with the reclama-
tion service for the removal of Scott
Ditch which is adjacent to the pro-
posed paving route were discussed.
Mr.. Haight reports that satisfac-
tory agreement was settled upon last
Thursday, but that later In the ev-
ening after the conference had brok-
en- up Project Manager Richardson
baked and negotiations were called
off.
The agreement provided that the
city of Fallon should bear one-half
the cost of the removal of Scott
Ditch, such one-half not to exceed
S2500. 1t also granted the United
States power line franchise
through the city of Fallon to trans
NIT electrical power for the sole use
of the Exclamation Service or the
association of water users. The
franchise was to be revocable in case
of transfer or attempted transfer of
any of the rights granted or in case
of resale or distribution of any cleo
trical energy to any other person.
firm or corporation.
1t was the revocable character of
the agreement which Mr.. Richard
son principally objected to. City and
State Highway officials are inclined
to question the good faith OF Mr.
Richardson as he could have raised
his objections when all the confer
ees were together and given them
chance to come to an understanding
Iais he did not do. but backed down
on the agreement after the other
members of the conference supposed
that it was all satisfactorily settled
The city council is now consider
ing plans for the paving over q diff
ferent route through the city and
where the irrigating ditch will not
be an obstacle. 1t is possible that
the proposition will be presented TO
the people of Fallon for a vote at
the next municipal election.

Commercial Club
Holds Lively Session
Decide TO Hold Noon Luncheon At
Lincoln Cafe, Next Saturday,
October 14th

The local chamber of commerce
held their regular meeting last
Monday evening with the largest at
tendance that has assembled since
the weekly meetings were discontin-
led last June.
The chamber heard the report of
the committee that was appointed
last week to draft resolution taxi
ing a neutral attitude in the South
ern Pacific-Central Pacific unmerger
proceedings. After considerable dis
cussion the chamber voted unani-
mously to reject the resolution and
maintain its former position as fav-
oring Southern Pacific control of
the Central Pacific.
Fred Grob presented a request
from the United States Chamber of
Commerce asking for an expression
from the local body on legislation
now before congress authorizing
Federal Reserve banks to make a
charge of one-tenth of one per cent
for the handling of foreign"
checks. The local body went on rec
ord as opposing the charge.
The desirability of undertaking a
more extensive advertising campaign
to attract new settlers to the New
lands Project was discussed. 1t was
pointed out that the efforts already
expended in this direction had
brought good results, the only OBJ
stacle in the way of further adver-
tising being lack of funds. The re-
suits of the advertising campaign
are of as much benefit to the farm
ers of the project as to the business
men and an effort will be made to
enlist their support In the work. j.
M. Heizer was appointed a member
of the ways and means committee
with a special assignment to try
and get the farmers interested in
the work of the Chamber of Com
merce.
Before adjournment announce
ment was made that the noon lunch
con scheduled for Saturday, October
14th, would be held at the Lincoln
Cafe.

SUFFERS BROKEN ARM
WHEN CAR BACK-FIRES

C. E. Kent is now going around
with his arm in a sling, having brok-
en- it in cranking his car last Fri
day night. Mr.. Kent had attended
the Democratic rally at the Rex and
was started on his way home in the
car. He had not gone far when the
engine died and when he tried to
crank it again 1t kicked back break
ing his forearm and dislocating his
elbow. Examination of the engine
disclosed the fact that a broken wire
resulting in short circuit had
caused 1t to back-fire.
