FOXES HEAD LIST OF PURE
BREEDS IMPORTED LAST YEAR

In the list of importations of pure
bred animals for which the United
States Department of Agriculture is
sued certificates of pure breeding
during the last fiscal year foxes
stood at the top In numbers, dairy
cattle were next, with dogs a close
third. Beef cattle, horses, and
sheep, formerly imported in large
numbers, were almost in the same
class with cats. Very few horses
have been brought in during recent
years, and the number of beef cat
tie and sheep has decreased, partly
on account of foot-and-mouth dis
ease, which existed in England
part of the year. However, since
the war fewer animals of all kinds
have been coming into this country.
The total number of ali kinds
brought in during the year was p
$40. There were 967 foxes. all from
Canada; 761 dairy cattle, mostly
from the Channel Islands and Cana
da: 591 dogs, a large part of them
from England. Germany and Cana

T. L. Kendrick, manager of the

with the grade of wheat that is com
ing into the mill from the ranches
of the project. The wheat is hard
and is making a better quality -four
than the mill was able to turn out
last year The mill is now running
at practically full capacity the only
delays being occasioned by shortage
of wheat There is a great deal of
wheat being held by farmers be-
cause of the rush to get the canta-

the cantaloupe crop is disposed of
the hauling of wheat will commence

1t is the 100 per cent American
made movie and is said to be the
eleanest and most entertaining pic

the story of romantic love of an
Irish youth and country girl, ward

the American Revolution.
1t carries the first real message
of American history and has been
endorsed by the National Commit

1t shows the great American pa

Paving Work in
Fallon Delayed
Construction Cannot Be Started In
til Scott Ditch on saltwater
Avenue Is Moved

Contractors bids for the eonstrue-
tion of an 1S-foot paving through
the city of Fallon will be opened to-
day. In view of the fact that no
definite plans have yet been made
for the filling In of Scott Ditch II is
probable that contraction of the
pavement will be delayed for some
time.
Paving for Fallon has been ar
ranged to take advantage of state
and federal aid, whereby property
owners will pay but a small fraction
of the costs. Such improvements are
open 10 municipalities of less than
2,500 population connecting main
Travelled state highways. When this
opportunity was brought to the at
tention of the city council early last
spring, plans were advertised. Final
approval by the council followed an
advertised meeting at which object
ing property owners were given an
opportunity to be heard.
After a survey was made plans
were drawn to cover an 18-foot strip
from the east city limits along Still
water avenue to East street, north
to Center, thence to Maine street
From Maine street the course is along
Williams avenue to the west city
limits. Plans provide for concrete
construction.
Scott Ditch an Obstacle
After being approved by the fed
eral government exception was taken
to the Scott ditch along Saltwater
avenue. Unless the ditch is dispensed
with and filled up federal funds will
not be available, was the verdict fol-
lowing a visit by government engi-
neers.
About a month ago a resolution
was circulated asking the city, the
reclamation service, the irrigation
board and the interior department to
condemn the old Scott ditch as a
menace to life and a public nuisance
The resolution was signed by a num-
Der of representative residents but
has not been presented to any of
those to whom addressed.
Immediate Action Necessary
Since 1t Is planned to rush through
the paving program, IL was indicated
by the mayor, 1t is necessary that i'm
mediate steps be taken to dispense
with this ditch. There is no other
course to be taken if federal money
for these improvements is made use
of. il is claimed Several solutions
for the difficulty have been suggest
ed by various parties.
One plan is to run the ditch
limits on Richards street. This can
be made to serve property owners in
the city claiming water rights. 1t is
said, and will not interfere with the
water users on ranches directly east
of Fallon who are now being served
flict with two properties in the city
limits
The disadvantages, said the may
or, Il believe will be offset by the
benefits to be derived from the paw
ing improvements. This is the most
at this time, and while the plan Is
not perfect, it is a step in the right
direction. To run pipe line along
saltwater avenue would entail pro-
hibitive expense at this time to prop
erty owners. II would be likewise
very expensive to run a ditch around
the city limits, and this, too, would
shut off water users within the city
limits"

Operations In the Fallon oil field
are going forward with renewed
energy and hopefalness. Splendid
cooperation has been manifested be-
tween different companies in the
loaning of equipment back and forth
and in helping each other through
the various difficulties that are
bound to arise in an unproyen field.
The Calneva company is making
good progress. the drill now being
down 1920 feet in a well-defined
blue lime eapping. The formations
encountered in this well are identi-
cal with those of the old Fallon Oil
& Gas company's hole which is 500
feet away and there is every reason
to believe that the Calneva will get
into a good oil sand before drilling
another 200 feet.
