to employ the surveying crew now
employed by the state highway de-
partment on the route of the Lin

survey of streets in Fallon that
are to be paved. It has been point

Members of the farm bureau and

ject, as IL is quite sure to do In a

hence II is clear that we must go in
to other lines of production to
considerable extent
Dairying must always be one of
our leading industries, but canta-
loupes can come in as a close sec
ond. Sugar beets have promised
well, but diseases threaten to inter
fere. II has been demonstrated that
cantaloupes of quality that have
not been equalled anywhere else is
reliable crop here. The county
farm bureau, working in conjunc-
ton with the Cantaloupe Growers
Association, has arranged for a pur-
chaser for the entire offering of
cantaloupes on terms that insure
good profit to very grower who pro-
duces a fair crop. The banks stand
ready to finance reliable parties in
growing the crop. the buyer agrees
to advance the necessary cash to pay
for harvesting and the railroads are
anxious to cooperate to the fullest
extent in furnishing shipping facili-
ties. Now it is up to the individual
grower to produce the goods. Go

Nevadans Accomplish
Real Pioneering Stunt

Mrs. George Slater has been Wis
iting her sister Mrs. Roy Leidy dur
ing the past week. Mr.. and Mrs.
Slater live at the Summit of Pine
Nut mountain, their nearest point
of civilization being Minden. This
being the hardest winter for ten
years. they were completely isolated
for four months. Becoming very
anxious for their mail they set out
for Minden on skis and it took the
whole night to make the journey.
They preferred night skiing TO day
as the glare of the sun and the soft
ness of the snow makes travelling
harder. The snow was eight feet
deep at Pine Nut and while they
were rather lonely, being the only
inhabitants, they are quite rejoiced,
as there will be plenty of water
this spring which will enable Mr..
Slater TO develop his placer hold
ings. Mrs. Slater left Saturday
morning for Minden where she will
join Mr.. Slater and journey back in
the same manner.

Business, Industry and
Finance In the i. S.
Summary of Business Conditions BY
Federal Reserve Board for
Month of March

The outstanding feature in busi-
few weeks has been the improve
ment in basic industries (including
steeD, and especially in the move
ment of railway equipment. copper
and other metals. A marked in
crease in the production of automo-
biles has also been a feature of the
month. Building which has been on
the upgrade for several months past
continued its growth in activity.
February. 1922, building permits
were about 40 per cent in excess of
those of February, 1921, and the
advance is still continuing. AS
against this favorable trend In the
physical volume of production in
basic lines is the fact that a variety
of conditions have operated to Off
set the encouraging Improvement
which has been noted in textiles
during the winter months. Promi-
nent among these unfavorable infiu-
ences are the disturbed relations
cost of production and lack of for
ward orders has had a depressing
effect in those districts where no
labor troubles have made them
selves felt. No important changes
have been observed in other manu-
featuring lines. such as leather
boots and shoes. Agriculturally the
month has been one of favorable de-
velopment considering the season.
According to official figures a
crease in unemployment is under
way In trade, both retail and
wholesale, the tendency has been on
the whole downward although not
pronouneedly so. Retail trade is
uniformly lower than ii was month
ago or than it was at this time last
year. The movement of commodi.
ties to market during the month has
been very satisfactory and an in
crease in carloadings has been no.
ticeable in many parts of the coun-
try. The advance in the index mum
ber of wholesale prices shown by
the Federal Reserve Boards compi
lation amounts to four points fol
the month (from 13S to 142-191s
prices equal 1000. Financially the
month as shown but little change
and discount and interest rates have
not moved materially. Foreign
trade shows a somewhat further de-
cline with much closer approach
to adjustment of export and import
figures both here and abroad. In
creasing stability in foreign ex
changes, with the exception Of
marks, has been the rule.

To Maintain Service
Complaint of Eureka Chamber Of
Commerce Results in Hearing
BY Service Commission

At hearing before the Public
Service Commission of Nevada In
which the Eureka Chamber of Com
merce was complainant, responsible
ity for interruption of transporta-
ton on the Eureka-Nevada railway
was placed upon that company. 1t
was shown that no effort had been
made to keep the track and right
of way in repair nor precautions
taken to guard against washouts,
the danger from which is great at
this time of year.
On March goth Vice President
Sexton of the Eureka-Nevada rail-
way company replying to an inquiry
from the public service commission
regarding the tie-up stated that,
"On account of washouts and par
tial destruction of three most i'm
portant bridges on the line, the Eu-
reka-Nevada Railway Company here
by give notice that service will be
indefinitely suspended"
The public service commission has
ordered the railway company to en-
ploy at once a force OF not less than
twenty men and at least one daily
work train with the necessary ma
terial and supplies to put the line
between Palisade and Eureka in
seryiceable condition at the earliest
possible date The railroad COM
pany has been further ordered to
maintain at Eureka a crew of work
men and a supply of material for
the purpose of protecting other por-
tions of the line that are threatened
by water run-off from melting snow.

Union Well To
Install Standard Rio

The Union we'll on the Rice ranch
showing more than satisfactory
When within fourteen feet of the
original bottom of the we'll certain
unexpected conditions were en-
countered which in the opinion of
the management necessitated the
changing of the rotary outfit to
standard tools. The switch-over
under supervision of head-driller
George Hart. who has had charge
of drilling operations since the hole
was spudded in, is nearly complet-
ed and Field Manager Edison Porter
states that operations should re-
sumo on Thursday of this week.
It is expected that when a few
feet more of drilling and when the
removing of the water needed for
rotary drilling is completed the
company will show an oil we'll.
1t must be remembered that wa
ter invariably holds back oil pro-
duetion and that while in this well
the water has been cased off, thous-
ands of gallons of water have been
pumped through the hole daily by
the rotary process used by the com,
pany. No production can be ex
pected until this water is bailed oui
which will be done as soon as drill
ing operations will permit and by
the use of standard tools no more
water will be pumped into the we'll.
The company expects to complete
this we'll within a few days of actu-
al drilling

examine the liberal contract prepar-

as you are able to handle, giving il
the needed care and attention. Let

no reason why we should not, l pre-
dict that good cantaloupe ground

price double that at which IL has
sold in the past.
In this connection we wish to
urge every one to experiment with
asparagus. celery, and rhubarb, at
least to the extent of supplying his
own table and furnishing some for
the local market. Asparagus espec-
tally promises to become shipping
crop from this valley.
Black raspberries, also, have
proven successful wherever tried, SO
far as l have been able to learn.
With us they have never missed a
full crop since planted years ago.
Concord grapes, too, should re-
ceive more attention. Indications
are, however, that they will not
stand wet feet. and that they must
be planted In sandy or sandy loan
soil with good drainage.
Every other crop that gives any
promise of success should be tried
out in a small way and results re-
ported. The valley has reached the
point where We must diversity our
crops and not rely upon a shipping
market for alfalfa hay

4-SPEED FORD CAR
NOW ON MARKET

The Ford car is now being equip
ped and delivered In Fallon
with a four-speed axle. according to
an announcement made last week
Especially on closed cars and the
commercial delivery cars has 1t been
a great advantage on account of the
additional power secured by the
change in the gear ratio. This de-
vice has received the approval of the
Ford Motor Company and the distri-
button of the axle through the Ford
agents will no doubt add greatly to
Its general use.
The axle makes out of the Ford
car a six-speed car, with two high,
two low. and two reverse speeds. II
is said TO quicken the "getaway"
and enables the car to run at a mile
and a half an hour in high gear.
It adds so per cent in applied pow
er and this serves as an important
item to its advantage in the negoti-
ating of hills.
