Delivers Cows
To Local Farms

Litton Stoddard of Reno has dur
ing the week delivered a car load OF
dairy cows to farmers over this pro-
ject. He has another car load coming
in next week, which have been sold
and will be delivered In all approx
imately so head of milk cows will be

The stock is all of fair grade,
some of excellent value and all of
good milking strain. Part of the dis
posal comes from Humboldt County.

Jersey which is sought by many OF
the dairymen of this section.
1t is understood that additional
shipments are to come in and In
some instances orders are being made
up for high grade and some pure
bred stock The tendency to get
back to the dairy is spreading over
the entire section, as it has been
shown the project people that there
is no such thing as a flood or over
production of butter fat, the products
from the creamery being eagerly
sought in coast and local markets,

SCOTT DITCH CONTRACT
SIGNED BY CITY AUTHORITIES

Weather conditions is the only
thing In the way of commencement
of highway work through the city of
Fallop, and with the weather man on
our side activity should begin within
a few weeks at the utmost.
During the week the contract be-
tween the city and the reclamation
bureau has been signed. Mayor
Clark and the other members of the
city council affixing their signatures
and deposition of the ducument with
the reclamation bureau.
The stipulation that S2500 must
be raised in actual coin in order that
the city might pay for its share of the
removal of the Scott ditch caused
considerable hustling, but between
Geogre Coverston and others on the
committee the funds were raised
money of the realm-and the same
is In the bank subject to the order of
the reclamation service.
Some time ago word was received
from Mr. Borden, state highway en-
gineer, that he hoped to rush the
work on the Fallon paving and as
soon as advised would advertise bids
for construction. He suggested that
weather conditions should be used as
a basis of calculation as to when the
work should start.
The city council at its next meet
ing will advise the highway depart
ment that the deck is cleared for ac-
tion and that they can make arrange

Oakland Cal, Feb. 15, 1923.
George l.. Sanford,
Carson City, Nevada.
Our company is in the business of
selling power to consumers In several
counties including Churchill county
and has not refused to sell power to
any one along reasonable business
lines. When con -ete proposition
is presented to our company we will
take up the question and dispose OF
II the same as we have always done
in the past eight years in operating
our lines In Nevada. No complaints
in all these years have been made to
us from any of our numerous Gus
toners and we have no reason now
to change our past policy which has
been satisfactory to our customers
and never discriminatory in favor of
any district or community. The con-
tract for lease of power house was
executed as of January 29th and de-
livered to reclamation service Febru-
ary 7th, wherein we complied with
every requirement by the depart
ment. Pressure of other business
prevents me from coming to Nevada
at this time.
Edison F. Adams, President.
Following the adjournment OF the
meeting, at which Mr. Richardson
spoke, and get out his fears that any
further retarding of the signing of
the contract would possibly prevent
the building of the Spanish Springs
reservoir, and also might result in
other complications, Governor Scrug
ham forwarded a letter which
offers suggestions along the line
of legislation and other matters:
II am still OF the belief that with
the just showing that has been made

Sunday evening Mr.. Richardson
departed for San Francisco where he
is to hold a consultation with Mr..
Adams. Mr.. Richardson stated that
he is anxious to secure concessions
and hopes that by talking this mat
ter over with Mr.. Adams and other
members of the company, an under
standing may be reached whereby
the contract can be amended and
meet the approval of both sides of
this vital question. He is expected
TO return early in the week when he
may be able to offer some new con-
cessions that will pave the way to
the signing of the contract.

MOTOR CAR TANGLEs
WITH WOOD TEAM

Friday evening as the motor came
in from Reno 1t collided with a wood
team driven by who
conducts a wood yard on south Main
street. The driver believing that the
track was clear started his team of
ten animals across the track whom
he realized that the motor was al
most onto him. By applying whip
and language persuasion all but the
second or rear section of the load of
cotton wood was cleared when the
motor made the connection, result
ing in wrecking the wagon and piling
wood over the car and under 1t. 1t
required nearly an hour to clear the
track of the wreckage. Some slight
damage was done to the motor.
The motor man stated that owing
to the heavy fog that obstructed his
view he could not see the team, and
the teamster was shut out of view by
cars on the track. That the wreck
was not more costly with possible
loss OF life is one of its fortunate
turns.

FALLON AND RENO
TALK CANNING PLANT
Commercial Clubs Agree That Ven
ture Can Be Financed

A delegation of Churchill county
chamber of commerce members met
with the Reno Chamber of Commerce
cheon held at the Overland hotel in
Reno, the object of the local delega-
ton being to present the possibility
of a cannery for this city.
For some time the matter has been
under local discussion and following
the invitation of the Reno people the
matter was put up to them both as
to moral support and financial aid.
That both will be forthcoming was
the assurance given at and after the
meeting.
Following the regular meeting of
the Reno chamber, Chairman Knight
advised his people of the object of
the meeting briefly outlining the
purpose. Mayor lark, who is also
president of the local chamber stated
the purpose and suggested that AL
Reed, as secretary, and who had ac-
cumulated the facts and figures be
given preference, which was done.
Mr.. Reed at once outlined the
plan; that of a small cannery; one
that would offer a market for the
local vegetable raisers and create an
industry that could be gradually ad-
ded to and brought into a real indus
trial scheme. He asked for the sup
port morally and financially of the
Reno chamber, as he cited the fact
that Reno to a large degree depends
on the prosperity of Fallon and the
project. He told of the fast increas-
ing dairy herds and the future for
the Hearts of Gold" eantaloupes
II was w. II. Simmons of Reno,
who is the largest distributor of
canned goods in the state who made
the talk of the day. He stated that
while he was for the cannery and
anything that would help Fallon, he
believed that Reno could finance and
hrndle practically all of the products
of local cannery, yet he insisted
that the people must show him that
they would produce the goods. He
cited the fact that when the Fallon
sugar factory was running his firm
shipped In sugar In competition with

funds per cent In the Lakeside
Cave Rock project the Lincoln High
way funds will be used in place of
the cost that would otherwise fall
upon Douglas county. Under this
arrangement for each dollar expend-
ed by the state highway department
nineteen dollars of federal and Lin
coin Highway money will be spent.
Chief Engineer Borden yesterday
gave assurance that under the pro-
gram outlined and planned the state
will this year be able to finance
its part of the undertaking. This
means that before the passing of an
other summer nearly seven miles of
scenic highway will be constructed on
the east side of Lake Tahoe--a road
twenty-one feet wide, grayel-surfaced
six inches thick for a width of ten
feet, and ''feathered" two and one
half feet on each side of the thickly
grayeled portion. As located the new
highway will be shorter than the
road now used. In fact the engineers
claim that it will be the shortest and
most feasible route between the
points named. The grades will be
easy, the vision good, and curvature
slight or gradual-all making for
easy travel and safety.
Asked if the lake shore highway
improvement eontemplates tunneling
at Cave Rock, Mr.. Borden declared
that nothing of the kind will be done.
He plans a concrete retaining wall,
backfilled, to replace the present
wooden-bridge structure.
The.great amount of traffic on the
Lincoln Highway along Lake Tahoe,
increasing each year, makes advis-
able construction of road as soon as
possible. 1t will not only add to
the scenic features of the highway
and to property values but will in
sure more extended improvement at
an early date. Once the Lakeside
Cave Rock road is completed the
sooner will the highway department
and the forest service be called upon
to continue the good work from
Cave Rock to Glenbrook. plans or
iginally called for use of forest mon
ey on the road leading from the
California line this way, but partic-
ipation by the Lincon Highway Asso-
citation will obyiate delay and leave
the way open for use of forest money
this side of Cave Rock.
The big thing now is the likelihood
of construction of the Lakeside-Cave
Rock section of the Lincoln Highway
this year.

Expansion Proposed
On Lincoln Highway
State Will Cooperate In Building
Lake Tahoe Ssenic Route

That Fallon and the state highway
department must get to an under
standing on the Leetyille Carson
road is evident as work on the road
leading up to and around Lake Tahoe
from Carson Is assum ing shape. IRE
spective of the way tourists are rout-
ed from or to Fallon this season this
short piece of road that is now an OBJ
struction and menace toward devel-
opment will have to be modelled to
suit public clamor.
The state highway department has
given out that little or no determin-
alton can be given on the amount of
work that the Office can furnish on
this piece of work until after the leg
islature adjourns and the office
knows Just where it stands. In the
meantime every effort should be ex-
pended to see that this section is
not barred out through lack of coop
Grafton by the state and especially by
the highway department. This being
a section of highwa ythat takes the
travelling public to the one great
show place of this section of Nevada,
and opens an invitation for settle
ment, it becomes not a local eondi-
ton but state affair. Nevada asks
for population and one small piece
of road would hinder the objective.
The other end of the Lincoln High
way is to be taken care of as is
indicated from the following of the
Carson News of recent date:
Construction of a graded, drained
and gravel-surfaced road from the
state line at Lakeside to Cave Rock
the coming summer is a possibility
bordering on certainty.
If the Lincoln Highway Association
gives the aid the officers seem will
ing to extend the Nevada highway
department will undoubtedly let con-
tracts for work to be undertaken as
soon as snow is off the ground in the
spring.
Chief Engineer Borden has been
asked how much Lincoln Highway
money will be needed to complete
the Lakeside-Cave Rock project,
which has been located by the de-
partment surveyors, and he is pre-
pared to supply the needed informa-
tion. 1t is known that the Associa-
tion has available funds set aside for
road-aid in Nevada and it is expected
that the amount needed to match
federal aid will be forthcoming.
Normally the federal government
furnishes 75 per cent of the road
cost, the county 20 per cent and the
state highway department from is

Recent Contract Meeting
Held With Governor
Project Protestants Lay Cards Down
On Executive Table

The meeting held in Carson last
week between members of the rec
lamation service of this city and a
number of citizens who have insisted
that better contract be made be-
tween the power company and the
government on the renewal of the
ten year lease for the power plant

son assembling in the governors Of
flee to talk the situation over.
The governor acted to a certain ex-
tent as the representative of the gov
ernment and also as the arbitrator
asking for a full show down of the
facts and the complaints as they ap-
peared to both sides.
In speaking of the meeting Mr..
Long stated
81 believe that some good came
from this meeting as 1t has been
shown to the governor that the peo-
pie of this project are simply asking
for something that is theirs. the pow
er, or a chance to say what shall be
paid for power that is created on
their own project and to safeguard
themselves against any raise or ulti-
mate dictation during the term of
lease. The feature of set rate on a
guarantee basis is what We have been
after and not to take chances on be-
ing compelled to pay for other In
provements or earning capacity Of an
assumed valuation. This, | believe,
we made plain to the governor. Mr.
Moody acted as spokesman for the
objectors while the rest of us also
spoke in favor of amendments to the
contract that has coused so much
public discussion in this section.
Il. II. Kent In a very straightfor-
ward talk told the governor what we
wanted and he believed that If the
matter was shown to the representa-
tives of the government in their true
light some conees ions would be
made Mr.. Dolf also laid down the
facts as they were and as they would
follow under the new contract.
Mr. Berney. Mr.. Or .hore and the
rest of us laid the cards on the table
believing that the matter should be
threshed out before a non-interested
party, yet one who carries some
weight on his recommendation. The
disappointment of the meeting wa.

the reclamation service. whom we be-
lieved would be there. However. his
letter which was read shows that
he is taking the position that the peo-
pie of the project are entitled to con-
sideration and he suggests a course
of action.

the power company, who was to have
attended the meeting, failed to ma
teriallze. and IL was after the session

ments for advertising and awarding
contract for the paving. Under
ordinary conditions inside of six
weeks work on the new highway
should be under way.
The city is advertising for the dig
ging of bitches, the laying of sewer
and water connections and the re-
moval of the fountain together with
other preliminary matters necessary
before the streets can be turned over
to the highway department for grad
ing, as the concrete will be set to
grade and raised sufficiently to allow
proper shoulder and storm drainage
at the side.
The contract will cause the expen-
diture of some $4,000 per month for
three months at least calculation and
while the county and city have to
meet some of this expense the feder-
al aids means the bringing in of some
money in the way of recompense for
that expended by the people.
Undr the plan of a highway along
the Lincoln Highway route it will
bring the stranger into this city over
an up-to-the-minute road and remove
much of the impression that Fallon
is at a standstill.
Several contractors have been
looking over the route and it is said
that several local contractors already
have figures ready to submit to the
department just as soon as the city
and the highway department says
the word to go.

INTERESTING PAPER

Jim Smith has in his possession a
very interesting newspaper published
in Virginia City, October 81, 1874.
1t is a supplement to the Daily Inde-
pendent and contains a full account
of Adolph Sutro's campaign lecture
against William Sharon for the u S.
senatorship.
Aside from the attack on Sharon
the paper is illustrated with wood
cuts showing the geological cross sec
tons of the Comstock together with
other data on the great lode.
Sutro reviews his fight against the
bonanza crowd and illustrates his
speech with Illustrations of "Billy
Sharon's Crooked Railroad" now the
V. d T. He charges bribery, pur-
chase and intimidation of voters in
order to defeat him and In no small
language denounces Sharon as the
greatest swindler of the age. Sharon.
however, won the senatorship.

LYCEUM CONCERT
ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

The concluding number of the Ly-
ceum entertainments as arranged by
the Legion boys proved one of the
most enjoyable of the series given
during the winter months. Through
the activity of the American Legion
members the people of Fallon have
enjoyed several evenings out of the
ordinary and some excellent talent
has been displayed by the artists that
have appeared.
The concluding number rendered
Monday night by the Mozart Ladies'
Quartet was probably the most en-
joyable of the series. The four
young ladies' certainly came up to ex-
pactations and their instrumental
and vocal renditions were OF high
order and complete finish. II was

Cheese Factory
Under Survey
Promoters Given En-
Couraement by Milk
Producers

Roy Leidy who Is figuring with the
dairy people on the establishment of
a cheese factory in Fallon is meeting
with encouragement from over the
project. During the past week he has
had cheese maker here with him
and together they have gone over the
plans and talked 1t over with those
carrying dairy stock In sufficient
numbers to furnish milk for such a
project.
There Is some talk of establishing
the plant at saltwater where the nat
ural hot water would be an incentive
as 1t would reduce the expense OF
steam heat for the plant and the
heating of the milk to bring 1t to
the proper degree of curd This is
but part of the plan and while in
definite takes on some shape. A
cold storage plant is necessary in
connection with heat as cheese has
to be ripened under exact conditions,
and all of this is being gone into by
those who are endeayoring to boost
the plant over.
In looking over the dairy situation
it is found that approximately $500
cows are being MIXED in this valley
and with importations that are or
dered and which will be shipped in
together with the natural increase.
about 1000 cows will be ia tie pro-
ducing class before this fall 1t is
figured that 35 per cent of the tleif-
ers raised on the farm come to mat
urity and that under natural increase
approximately 1900 new head will
be in milking by another season.
Should the plans mature it is like
ly that two or three grades of cheese
will be manufactured in order to sat-
isfy the market that demands such
products. An attempt will be made
to manufacture a high grade full
cream cheese and the other grades
of less expensive nature will also
come from the factory.
Mr.. Leidy states that after looking
over the situation and talking with
merchants in Reno and other mar
ket sections that he is satisfied that
the field is ready for the introduction
of such an industry in Nevada. Prac-
tically every pound of cheese con-
sumed IN the state is imported, either
from the east or west He contends
that Nevada can produce Just as good
an article and that it need not be
competition as it should receive the
approval of the people in preference
to that of other sections.
He has met local encouragement
both from the farmers and merchants
and if his plans carry, as they seem
to be in shape to get ov r. he expects
to start with his associates In this
new industry within a very short
time.

ENJOYING THE RADIO

The radio receiving instrument at
the Lahontan Club has been in excel
lent working order the past several
evenings, resulting in the people en-
joying concerts from the street Most
of the entertaining features come
from Los Angeles, but other stations
have helped make up variety.
The only trouble with the concert
is the perpetual sputtering and chug-
ging of autos that work with muff-
lers out. OF course the autoist gets
a kick out of it and so do the rest OF
the people. 1t has been discovered
that the auto has even more broad
casting effect than the generosity of
the Lahontan Club members.
