ASSOCIATION
FORMED In FALLON

Following up the plan of other
cities, the auto motive trades people
of this city during the week have
formed an association that is intend
ed to work out a general benefit TO
teh trade and to the patrons.
The plan is that OF associated in
terests without any tax on the people,
in fact it is the intention to keep
prices within reason and furnish a
better service to all automobile
owners throughout the county.
At a meeting held last Saturday
evening the organization was per
fected under the title of the Fallon
Auto-Motiye Association with the fol-
lowing auto dealers and garage men
subscribing to the association.
Maupins Garage, Dykes Service Sta
tion, Houser Brothers, Lincoln Gar
age, Byer Motor Sales, Winders' Re-
pair Shop, Fallon Motor Sales Co,
New Doris Garage, Cy Cox Garage
and c. l.. Benadum.
The meeting of Monday evening
resulted in the election of w. 4.
Maupin as president of the associa-
tion and L. c. 'Taplor as secretary
treasurer. The executive committee
consisting of T. w Byer, L. j. Mau-
pin and Charles Houser was named
and bylaws and constitution were
adopted.

Cattle Purchasing Plan

By Several Business Men

party until paid for, and note is ia
ken on that line. 1t has made il
possible for ninety per cent of all
auto sales. 1t has been suggested
that dairy cows could be purchased
on some such plan, the payments
reaching over certain period, or
could be purchased on terms agreed
upon between the two parties. 1t
was shown the banker that the same
amount put into cows in this county
as invested in automobiles would
make this the most prosperous sec
tion in the state, if not in the West.
That the matter is under serious
consideration was shown by the pro-
mise of the financial agent to take
1t up at once, as he agreed that il
was logical and assured a reasonable
return to the bankers and a safe re-
turn to the purchasers. The matter,
so it is stated, will be determined
within a short time.
1t has been shown that the val
uation of automobiles in this valley
exceeds that of the dairy stock by
considerable margin, and while the
auto is practically necessity to the
farmer, yet the dairy COW is what
buys the gasoline and the means OF
paying for the machine.

VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS
DISPLAY HANDSOME COLOR

The eolors of the Veterans of For
eign Wars, which were ordered some
time ago have been reeeiyd and are
displayed at the Frazini south show
window.
The eolors are indeed handsome
being constructed of silk throughout.
The post colors are of blue back
ground with the following inscrip-
tion: "Lawton-SilYa Post, No. 1902,
Fallon, Nevada. Veterans of For
elgn Wars of the United States" The
insignia occupies the central part of
the flag This is the same on both
sides of the flag.
The national colors of the red,
white and blue will draw admiration
as when Old Glory is flung to the
air 1t will be entirely of silk with the
stars raised. The boys have every
reason to be proud of their eolors,
The members of the post wish to
extend their thanks to the women
and others who assisted them in rails
ing the funds for the purchase of the
two flags. The work of the patriotic
people is certainly appreciated.

Last week a subject was taken up
between a number of business men
and finaneiers with the idea of stock
ing the farms with dairy cows at a
minimum expense to the farmers and
a safe investment to the bankers.
1t has been realized for some time
that 1t is necessary to get back into
the dairy business on a larger scale.
Those who have stuck to the cows
are the ones who cash in the checks,
and every store in this city has no.

of cream checks and the steady ad-
Yancement of the sums In practic-

1t has been shown that the demand
for butter is not supplied by the
coast, and with the ever increasing
population in the coast section but

thus affording the better price that
has ruled, and with the assurance
that it will continue to go up and
not down.
The scheme as offered and listened
to by the banking fraternity is that

tomobiles. In every instance where
a machine is purchased on time the
ownership remains with the selling

liminary work down Williams Aven-
ue, the city crew has been moved to

contracting firms will be bidding. rs
Il is the first concrete job of tho
season in the state. and several
plants have been Idle during the
winter
Work on the paving should be we'll

Preliminary
Work Starts On
Spanish Springs
Engine er Goes Over
Canal Route Thru
City of Reno

Preliminary work toward the ac-
tual construction at Spanish Springs
was commenced last week by the
arrival of Engineer Ferdinand Bon
stedt in Reno. After visiting in this
section for several days and going
over the situation with j. +. Richard
son, Mr.. Bonstedt left for Reno and
at once took UP the matted OF sur
yeys for the canal line leading to the
proposed reservoir at Spanish
Springs. In commenting on this pro-
gress the Reno Journal states:
The first active step looking toward
the construction of the Spanish
Springs reservoir, involving the re-
elamation Of thousands OF acres of
land in Washoe and nearby counties,
was taken yesterday in Reno, when
Engineer Ferdinand Bonstedt OF the
United States reclamation service,
with headquarters at the Denver Of
flee, but now reporting to Project
Manager J. f. Richardson OF the
Newlands project in this state, com
menced his operations here.
Mr.. Bonstedt yesterday whipped
into shape preliminary arrangements
to put an engineering and surveying
party in the field for the final loca-
ton of the feeder canal from the
Truckee river to the site OF the pro-
posed artificial lake. As a result OF
progress maze yesterday it is expect
ed that the party will be actually on
the Job next week and that the work
of stalking out the canal line will
then begin.
With final surveys made and
mapped the work of acquiring the
necessary ground will proceed. That
finished, the construction work on
the reservoir and on the canal lines
and distributing works will follow.
The approval by Secretary of the
Interior Fall of the renewal of con-
tract terms with the Nevada Valleys
Power Company governing the use OF
the electrical power plant at Lahon-
tan paved the way during the recent
legislative session for the surrender
by the company OF certain vested
rights to water power sites at Vista,
on the Truckee river. This was the
greatest obstacle to the undertaking
of the work by the reclamation ser
vice Step bp step. the obstacles TO
the enterprise have been removed,
and any doubt of the disposition of
the government or the reclamation
service to move energetically in the
direction of taking up the work has
been dispelled by the development
in Reno.

RIFLE CLUB

Following the organization of a
unit of the National Rifle Assoeia-
tion in this city with forty members
the question of a safe range came up
and several were suggested. OF re-
cent date a range of sufficient safety
has been selected near Rattlesnake
Hill with a background that will
act as a buffer. L. w. Crehore, city
engineer, recently ran a survey out
for the boys and with the pits and
other equipment the range will be
in shape for practice. The ground
was offered by the reclamation de-
partment.
Rifles and ammunition will be fur
nished, up to a certain amount, by
the War Department free of charge
Additional equipment will be pro
yided at very low cost to members OF
the club. Each member will be al
lowed zoo rounds of % ealibre am
munition, and 120 rounds for larger
guns. Two each of .22 ealibre rifles
and Springfield 80 will be furnished
free Both guns and ammunition
will be sold to club members at spe-
cial rates.
A meeting of the local rifle club
has been called for Thursday evening
at the chamber of commerce hall,
between and 8 o'clock when some
important details necessary to COM
plete the organization will be taken
care of. The business of the meet
ing will all be completed by o'clock
so that members can get away in
time to see the high school play

Raid UnCoyers
Still In Operation

Monday afternoon Sheriff Carne
accompanied by several prohibition
officers raided a moonshine plant op-
Grated by Walter Browder resulting
in the destruction of the still, the
mash and some 200 gallons of first
run whiskey.
Browder was alone at the old
Browder mine some 80 miles from
Fallon and when the officers came
onto him was working over a batch
of mash. He made no resistance
and watched the destruction of his
plent which was the most elaborate
that has been found in the county
Aside from the plant lot of mash
was ripening and there was material
for future runs. Evidence was taken
and after destruction of the plant
Browder was brought to Fallon
where after preliminary hearing be-
fore Commissioner Woodliff he was
released on $500 bonds.
Sheriff Crane has for some time
been working around to this plant
and only waited until he knew things
were ripe for the raid. The affair
was carried out in every detail and
with the assistance of the federal
men the plans carried to a very sue
cessful conclusion 1t is believed
that this plant has been furnishing
a considerable supply of the mule"
that has been in evidence in Fallon.
The still, which is of 40 gallon
capacity is one of the best pieces of
work so far recovered by the officers
and has been viewed at the sheriffs
office by many people. 1t is stated
that the entire outfit was right up to
the minute, and those in position to
know state that the product from the
still was real whiskey, as it was
double distilled, filtered and ripened.

TIME SHORT FOR FILING
NAME CONTEST SLIP

Those who take an interest in coin
names, especially trade names or
marks still have a chance to be paid
for this thinking, as the Kent store
offer of $12.50 for a trade name for
their alfalfa meal and a like amount
for fertilizer, holds good until Sat
urday.
A number of suggestions have
been filed by people from over this
city and valley, but there is plenty
of room for more, and while it is a
gift to some one at the same time
it may make famous a product from
this section.

City Election
Brings Out
Candidates
Three For Mayor With
Contests in All
Precincts

While Reno is to wrestle with oYel
thirty names on its city election, Fal
on is content with approximately
ten citizens who will be ON the
elective ticket in May
Up to the present time three have
filed for the position of mayor
Mayor Clarke, George Spreyer and
j. \. Tedford, making a three-cor-
nered fight.
In the first ward e. Maupin, Sr.,
has filed for councilman while C.. l..
Benadum will probably do so. Mrs
Mona Kinney has filed as a candi-
date, she being the only woman can
didate to file to date.
In the second ward, E. r. Frazzini
has filed his petition and j. e. Nc
Lain has his petition out, which is
being freely signed, placing him on
the ticket. Harry Clinton will most
likely be a candidate for councilman
in this ward.
In the third ward Jack Flood, in
cumbent, will be in line as will A. j
Vannoy, who has filed his petition.
The election, which takes place on
May Sth, promises to be one of the
keenest contests held in number OF
years. Parties who voted in the city
last fall and were registered are en-.
titled to vote without registering

League Base Ball
Don't Get Over

The proposed baseball league as
suggested by the Reno ball fans has
fallen through and Fallon will organ
ize her own club taking chances on
games as formerly. This was the de-
cision reached after the visit last
week to Reno by Chas. Way and S. II.
Fort, the two having been at the ori-
ginal meeting to represent this city
and the proposed club and league
feature.
AT the meeting two weeks ago 1t
was proposed to take in western Ne
vada and two towns of California, a
sum TO be raised and divided pro
rata, each team to raise what was
designated and the gate receipts to
be pooled and divided at the end of
the sason.
This proposal fell flat at the re.
cent meeting when Carson and Vir-
ginia were net represented and when
Sparks came in it was stated that
that city could not raise the proper
tion assigned. Reno, it was pointed
out could raise her quota and not
strain a point
At the Thursday meeting Reno
and Susanvilee men proposed to pool
a $4,000 fund with a four-team
league contributing $500 each, with
the exception of Reno, which town
would turn $1,000 to the treasury
This league would include Susanyille
with a $500 fund already in the
treasury and with a record of large
gate receipts, Reno with 33 per cent
of the wealth of the state and as
surance of good crowds, Sparks with
Reno fans to draw from, and Fallon
at a disadvantage of distance and
small attendance at games.
The Fallon Representatives could
not see the later proposal. They
pulled out Carson had already de-
clared itself not among those
present.
In the meantime Fallon is going
ahead with plans for a local team
which will guarantee good ball and
practice will start Immediately. Sew
eral new players will be in line while
the tried timber is available. Lion
berger, formerly of the Winnemucca
team is here, and Ed Schultz will
probably be in the line. Leon Snyder
has a good pitching arm and j. f.
Diekerson is back in Fallon and will
play in center field Burns, of Taft,
is at Hazen and may be in the team,
From appearances Fallon will be
lined up right for some great battles

.Secty. Wallace
Will Not Visit
The Project
Telegram States That
Cabinet Member
Regrets Fact

Following the word that Secretary
OF Agriculture Wallace would visit
this project on the 18th inst. plans
weer laid for his reception. and 1t
was generally believed that he would
be here according to the first advice.
Last week the Reno papers con-
tanned the statement that Mr.. Wal
lace would not be able to visit the
project, this coming after Reno,
through its chamber of commerce,
had endeavored to arrange a day
with him.
Upon the assumption that the Reno
papers had the proper line of inform
alton both the reclamation Office of
this city and Mr.. F. B. Headley, of
the experiment farm. sought con-
firmation of the report through tel
egraphic query. The department at
Washington advised that they knew
of no change in the itinerary, and 1t
was further learned that Mr.. Wal
lace had not reached Las Vegas, one
of the points to be covered in his
southern trip. Through the news
papers 1t was quoted that Mr.. Wal
lace was resting at Los Angeles.
AS the matter now stands 1t seems
that the original plan of a visit on
the 18th inst. is not possible, and
unless some different plan is cast
this section will not be visited by the
secretary. Mr.. Headley is awaiting
official advice which will be given
full publicity should 1t indicate that
Mr.. Wallace will be in Fallon or any
section of the project
WILL NOT BE HERE
In reply to wire to Sacramento
in an endeavor to determine whether
Secretary Wallace would be in Fallon
on the 18th, the following telegram
definitely states that he will not:

is being rushed through that the paw

1t has been necessary several times
to shut off the water in order to
make the necessary connections, and
while it is inconyenient for the mo-
ment it is a necessity. 1t brings back
