Cold Weather and High Wind
Makes Playing Baseball
Quite Difficult
BY LARRY

III Winter Comes" said James
Coughlin, at won't be much cold
er 1 hope"
At tho time Of this famous re.
mark, Mr.. Coughltn was watching
the Normal aud Salem baseball
players run around in a dust storm
at South Side Park yesterday aft
ernoon. He was bundled up in
en- overcoat and a steamer rug,
and was hiding behind the wind
shield Of an automobile. yet HIS
voice gave evidence that his teeth
were chattering like a flock OF
women at a convention.
Playing baseball on such a day
as yesterday was a rather hard
matter but the teams put up an
interesting game. II the man
ager OF the home folk had Just
furnished a few electric pads for
the spectators It would have been
quite an entertaining perform
ance.
Wright on Mound
Salem won the game 8 to 4, but
the home talent had one big inn
ing. the second, when they
punched all their hits and made
all their runs. Wright was on the
mound for Normal and went the
entire route, although he was
taken out In the last of the ninth
to allow Higginhotham TO strike
out for him. Wright finished
strong and gave plenty Of evidence
that on the first warm day he
works and gets q little support
from the other members Of the
team he Is going to chalk up a
victory.
Two home runs were made by
the visiting athletes, Tesch and
Simms making them. Wright got
the only extra base hit for Fair
mont, a double.
A high wind was blowing all
afternoon, throwing dust in tho
players eyes and getting a mum.
Der of spectators all soiled up.
Salem Scores
Salem started right after the
bacon, in the first round. Lowther
famed and Rice was out on a high

big first sacker picked out a nice
fast one and knocked the ball out
OF the lot, the pill rolling through

Fairmont jumped into the lead
in the last Of the second. Wolfe
singled and stole second. He
went to third on a balk. Willis
walked and took second, and both
men scored on an error. Kelley
was safe on an error by Simms
and Eakins reached first when q
play on Kelley at second failed.
Jones was retired at first. Wright
doubled sending Kelley and FAX

Ferren at second and was tossed
out. Salem tied the count In tho

In the fifth they jumped ahead
with two more runs. A double and

than the fertile valleys of Utah
and Idaho which are titled to their
utmost.
Now that Mason Valley is sure
OF plenty of water for irrigation
and, coupled together with good
land and the God given power OF
advancement is people. In my opin-
ion Mason Valley could well sup
port hundred thousand people
from the soils alone, saying nothing
about the possibilities of the min
erals which fill our surrounding hills,
Nevada, as a state, has never been
properly represented. Her natural
possibilities and resources have in
times past, been prostituted and
branded as DESERT only a fit place
for the prospector looking for
gold. How little do the people in
our ncighboring states, who are
crowded out for lack of land uptn
which to make homes, realize that
Lyon County, Nevada. is the real
land of opportunity; and when one
undertakes to tell them about our
possibilities they can think OF moth
ing but the dry. parched deserts.

they are persuaded to come to Ma
son Valley and they leave the train

valley and motor south to Iering-
tor; from Ycrington south through

cultivated farms. the good stock.

where. they are persuaded that
Lyon County. Nevada. is the state
and county OF possibilities for the
home builder Even the people who
have lived in Mason Valley for many
years. who have grown rich i'll lands,
do not. as yet. realize one hundred
per cent OF what is possible, or
what can and will he accomplished
from the soils alone. which alone
can only be accomplished by popula-
ton. Could we only realize that
the Garden of Eden also could be
a desert without people to develop
the natural God given resources.
Mason Valley has much to offer
to the home builder and, fortuu-
ately for the Valley, land prices
are still low and land easily OBJ

and in my judgment none OF them in
anyway compare with Mason valley.
When leave the Southern Pa
cific road at Wabuska travel south
over the level roads of the valley
and view the broad and level acre
age covered with crops OF all kinds,
grain, alfalfa, potatoes and all other
crops that are grown anywhere i'll
our neighbor valleys and states.
Realizing as | do, after living
here two years, that the great
need in our valley is more people
to till the soil and make it produce,
as you are capable Of doing. When
we invite the stranger to come to
our valley from neighbor states we
do not invite him to go onto the
desert, nor do we invite him to
a country where he is compelled to
undergo the hardships Of the pio-
necr. Lyon county can well boast
of her schools, churches, good roads,
and many clean, thriving towns.
One will travel over many states
and counties throughout the West
and will not find more up-to-
date little town than Yerington,
which is now trimming over with
whole-souled business men who are
always ready to acquaint the stran-
ger with the possibilities of the val
ley, which are many. To my way
OF thinking. no spot on earth offers
more opportunities than does Mason
Valley. and especially is that true
since the storage system OF irriga-
ton has been compelled, which as
sures water in abundance for the
heretofore dry lands. Thanks. to
the public spirited citizens that are
responsible for Walker River lrriga-
ton District. for they are truly
bcncfactors and their efforts should
be much appreciated for the bene-
fits the valley will receive.
There can be no question but that
water is King, and especially when
other essentials, good land and
climate. that is unsurpassed any
where. are obtained.

find many. many people who are
forced to leave their present homes
and seek larger and broader fields
for the reason that their SCOPE OF

that it makes it impossible for them

In the past eighteen months Ma
son Valley has had considerable OF
the spirit of colonization. and the
people in general have senscd the
necessity of populating the valley
with good, honest farmers and
American citizens. To that end
there are at present operating in
the valley two land companies who
are doing considerable advertising
and work i'll adjoining states, and
without question their labors are be-
ginning to bear fruit.
The Great West Land Company.

tract OF land near Wabuska, have
been successful in bringing onto
their project sixty-siN souls, men

arc all anxious to advise their
friends to come here also.
1t seems to me that the lights
and good things which obtain IN

home making, should be- made
known to other states not so tor

bask i'll her prosperity. but we are

Dear Editor:
In reply to your request to give
you some of my views of Mason
Valley and Lyon County in general.
Let me say here that have been
a resident OF Lyon County for two
years past and have in some meas
urc acquainted myself with the pos
sibilities and resources of the valley.
True to the old customs OF the
past, I am a firm believer that the
soil is the real foundation and
ground work of industry. Mason
valley has all the natural resources
that goes to make home and we
all know that the home and all
it means, is the real country builder.
1t has been my privilege i'll the
past to visit every land and irriga-
ton project in the West, where
new homes are being built and new

Is Already Heavy

The ticket committee of the
Salem Arts League, at late hour
this afternoon reported marvellous
success in disposing of seats for

on are urged to make reservations
