Railroads. public utilities COM

Guiding the United States Steel Cor

Interstate Commerce Commission to-
day their request for reconsideration
of the commissions original assigned
car case decision. Representatives
of coal mine operators. the National
Coal Association and others were
present to enter opposition.
Decision Caused Protest.
Under a decision announced last
June, but not yet put into effect. the
commission held that neither mines
which produce railroad fuel nor coal
consumers or others who own coal
cars should be entitled to exclusive
car service during periods Of coal
shortage or of transportation ditfi-
culties. Upon the filing Of large
number of protests the commission
reopened the case and withheld the
effective date of it's decision. Rail-
roads declared enforcement of the
new system would increase operating
charges for them by 100000. 600
annually.

Commissioner AitchiSon endeavored to
bring out whether mines that have
assigned cars for railroad fuel pur-
poses did not occasionally divert
such coal to sell on the commercial
market. The witnesses were uncer-

Sidercd that the assignment of rail-
road cars was Immediately stopped
when the railroad itself did not
actually get the fuel.

INDIANS RAISE TURKEYS
ON THEIR RESERVATION

At the Indian reservation east of
this city a number of the Indian
farmers have proven very successful
turkey raisers. Nearly every farm
has a few birds. while fourteen DIFF
ferent Indian farmers will have birds
for market. Floeks ranging from so
to $50 birds have been produced by
these farmers.
Joaquin Brown, who owns ten
acres of land on the reservation. has
probably made the best results as on
this small place $50 turkeys are now
available for market.
While Brown worked on the farms
during the summer his wife pat In
her time on the turkeys with the
above result. Twenty hens was the
start in this industry and the birds
are as fine as any on the project.
The fact that the flock was reared
on a ten-aere plot. and no such
equipment as most of the white
farmers have is one of the features
that merits approval. OF his farm
three acres is devoted to grain which
was fed off by the growing birds,
about three acres of alfalfa is also
cultivated on the place and the rest
is given over TO range for the birds.
With ordinary prices for birds
Brown will market close to $4,000
for his turks. which is fair sum-
mers work and it will keep some of
his white farmer friends hrmping
to equal the results.

SUDDEN DEATH oVERTAKES
WILLIAM b. NICHOLS

The many friends of William b.
Nichols. one of the best known men
of this city, were shocked to learn of
his sudden death while alone in the
cabin that he has been occupying
for some time past.
From what can be learned death
came suddenly Saturday evening. as
the last that was seen of Mr.. Nichols
was about o'clock Saturday when
he went home. Neighbore found the
old gentleman seated in a chair with
a newspaper in his hand and his
glasses on. Death was caused from
apoplexy and was evidently entirely
painless. He had been in his usual
good health and made no complaint
of feeling i'll.
w. B., better known as pat"
Nichols was among the well known
operators during the Goldfield boom
His place of business was always
crowded and he put over several of
the big deals in the camp. Later he
moved to Rawhide and there was
among the live men who made the
camp what IT was during the boom
When the oil excitement came to this
valley Mr.. Nichols moved here and
for time was among the promoters
that secured ground and established
a rig. He was head of the Big Four
oil Company and was waiting to re-
sumo operations, in fact this was
what kept him in the district.
His likeable ways. good character
and square dealing always made Pat
Nichols a favorite In the mining and
promotion game. He was native
of Texas, and remained staunch to
the. Southern ideal of honesty and
mannerism. He will be missed by
the many friends in this section and
over the state. He was about n
years of age.
The deceased leaves a wife. tive
married daughters and three sons
William. Buel and Ben. Members u
the family have been advised of hi.
death and will be in this city Thurs
day when funeral arrangements will
be made.

Creamery Man
Looks Over Field
Sacramento Coopcrat- :
i've Company Will
Ask for Share

s. N. Ayers, representing the
Northern California Milk Producers
Association with headquarters at
Sacramento, came to this city Mon.
day to look over the field with an
idea of asking for some of the pro.
duct for his institution. Mr.. Ayers
represents the cooperative creamery
of northern California, one of the
largest cooperative plants operating
on the coast and his statement is 10
the effect that 1t Is through such or.
ganizations that the price of cream
is where 1t is today.
In order to lay the plans of the
California cooperative institution be-
fore the dairymen of this project, a
public meeting is to be held in this
city on Saturday evening, December
L, when j. M. Henderson and j. A
Rubson of Sacramento will explain
the operation of the creamery and
theirs in particular in California.
They are not here to sell stock or
to take anything from the farmers
or dairymen. On the contrary. 1t is
explained, they are endeavoring to
show that their plant can offer the
best inducements to cream shippers
Due notice of this meeting is to be
given and public gathering will be
asked of the dairy interests of the
valley.
As this represents another cream
consuming concern coming to Fallon
to seek trade 1t intensifies the propo-
sition of the dairy COW being the
backbone of the valley. 1t Is but a
short time since real dairy interests
have become factor in the marts
of trade of this section, and every
firm that comes in and asks for a
chance to do business is doubly well
come.
In the case of the Sacramento peo-
pei they are seeking a field where
they can see further expansion, and
as it was stated by Mr.. Ayers during
his visit that the valley should be
supporting $4,000 cows If not more.
The fame of the cream from this
section has spread and another "a
months will see the project the
greatest dairy section in this state.

Crop; Other Concessions Made
to Beet Growers

he stated. You have the land, more
water than any section | have visit
ed, and the climate Is such that a
crop can be depended on"
In discussing help for cultivation
he stated that in California there has
been no marked shortage, and he
cites the Utah situation where boys
are employed during the summer at
a liberal wage for such work, thus
keeping the money at home. :
People Are Skeptical
Owing to the repeated failures of
farmers and others are skeptical as
to any move that would involve them
in any new obligations. No money
has been made by those who have
raised beets and the investors in the
plant have suffered loss. On the
other hand the factory is in good
order and with slight expenditures
can be made as modern as any plant
on the coast. 1t Is a question of fair
treatment on cooperative basis and
under the recently modified plans as
set out by Mr.. Wilson and others
who are interested, 1t seems that
there is chance to start the idle
wheels moving.
Local Men I'm Field
The conclusion of the manage
ment to place local men In the field
who can explain the situation as 1t
exists. with the cooperative plan
should make better feeling and will
undoubtedly result in the securing
of more acres for beet culture. The
history of the California beet fields
is one of success, the same il true
of other sections, and with the OBJ
iectionable features of the contract
eliminated. and the sense of the
stock note explained, 1t would seem
that the Fallon factory can be placed
on its feet and some profits added
to the income ON beet acreage in this
and other western Nevada irrigated
sections.
