TURNS MINING DEAL

Another mining property is to be
put in operation and several Fallon
people feel that it is the start for the
opening of one of the real mines OF
this section.
For several years DR.. Lucas. the
Browder boys and Milt Wallace have
been contributing to the develop
ment of a property about Is miles
from Phonolite. The property which
has given excellent values in gold
silver and copper. has attracted at
tention from a number of mining
men.
Recently a deal was turned and
the property has been taken over by
Los Angeles people who are in finan-
cial condition to carry out develop
ment program that should make a
mine of this property.
Three shifts are to be employed
and work is to start Immediately.
Those who are familiar with this
ground declare that it is one of the
best surface showings in the district
and that with the proposed develop
ment that there will be a going mine
developed.
As practically all of the material
for operation comes from this city
the development on a large scale
means much to Fallon. With the
work at Chalk Mountain. Quartz
Mountain. Sand Springs and other
districts mining has taken on an i'm
portant movement within the county
and district.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
Explanation Of Recent Meeting
Given by Local Representative

The meeting in San Francisco last
week of California and Nevada agri-
culturists and farm bureau people
who are interested in cooperative
marketing, together with listening TO
the address and advice of Aaron
Sapiro, the worlds leader In this
work, resulted in the initial steps
toward such a state wide organiza-
tion. Mr.. c. G.. Swingle, who was
in attendance, and who has been
among the people who have been ad-
vocating such a movement, when
asked as to the plans stated as fol-
lows:
This organization is not a local
one by any means, on the contrary
when perfected, will embrace the en-
tire coast, that is every section that
is marketing and depending on other
than home markets to take up the
products of the farmers.
1.-THE trouble has not been lack of
products as raised by the farmers or
truck gardeners, but the overlooking
of markets east and west Take po-
tatoes for an example. Last season
at the outset there was such a flood
of potatoes on the market that the
growers became discouraged. prices
went to nothing and hundreds of
thousands of pounds rotted in the
ground, there being no immediate
demand for them. A little later bet
ter prices were obtained, but most
of the farmers had become panicy
and had let go their crops, some at
very small profit and others at a
loss.
1T is to prevent such conditions
and get the products on the right
market at the right time that this
organization is to be formed and
perfected. Had it been possible last
fall to have selected markets and
prevented the dumping of potatoes
onto the market the consumers
would have paid no more ana the
farmers would have been able to
get profit. The idea in this organi-
zation is TO prevent too much mar
keting at one time in one place and
by having agents who are advised
as to conditions produce can be sent
to the right market at the right time
and also be prevented from being
sent to a glutted market in fact this
The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1923-07-25

is an organization to cooperate
against indiseriminate marketing,
the same as is done by the orange
growers of California.
In the case of the citrus growers
of California if they hear that train
load of oranges will conflict with one
from Florida in Chicago or New
York that particular train is sent tc
another city that is shy on the pro-
duct, thus preventing competition
and assuring a market for their
goods. In the case Of the prune men
and raisin growers they regulate
their market and as a result they
have built up trade that assures
profits.
In the proposed organization an
effort will be made to interest all
Of the market growing sections with
practically every article of necessl.g
that the public demands. By this
regulation of marketing it is believed
that instead of the middlemen, who
have been fatted at the expense of
the farmer and the consumer, max
ing the big end of the profits that
the farmers will be the people who
will get what they are entitled to
The consensus of opinion among the
people who attended the California
meeting was that we are on the right
track. This organization will not be
perfected without an effort, and will
probably go through some of the
troubles that we're found by the Cali
fornia fruit growers associations be-
fore it is down to a real working
basis, but we we're all convinced that
We are on the right track and that
it is time that the farmers and not
the commission men regulated the
time and place where their products
should go. 1t is but one Of the many
modern ways of handling big bust
ness, and I contend that the farming
business is the biggest business on
earth, as without him the whole
world would starve to death within
d very few months. Organization
along scientific market lines will not
tend to raise the cost of living to the
general public. but will tend to get
the goods on the right market at
the right time and to the consumer
when and where needed. ="

For State Fair
FaIlon to Hold Event
Is Decision of Direc-
rectors; Survey of
Grounds Made

With members of the state faiI
board In attendance and assurance
that the title to the fair ground had
been practically completed, the mem
bers declared that the State FaiI
would be held in f'allon September
Il, 13 and IA. This will be immedi-
ately following the closing of the
California state fair at Sacramento
md will be followed by the fall race
meeting at Reno.
Three Day Fair
George Wingfield, who has taken
very active part in Strengthening
the tangles of the local fair ground
and other matters that are connected
with it, assured the others that he
could guarantee a sufficient number
of horses for four races each after
noon but that he requested that the
iair terminate no later than the
18th. as racing was to start at Reno
on Saturday the 18th, and while he
favored the Fallon show that the
other date had been set previous to
that of Fallon. His plan was i'm
mediately adopted and the date fixed
accordingly
1t is now the intention of the fair
committee together with the local
members and Capt, Clarke as a lead
er to get busy Immediately on the
race track, pavilion and the grounds
that have been suryed and are ready
for transfer.
Survey Made
Last Friday Harvey Payne of the
state engineers office at Carson
came in TO make the survey of the
fair grounds. Together with |. II.
Kent and Tom Dolf the ground was
gone over or surveyed out according
to description It is found by two
surveys that the tract embraces
4.007 acres within the fenced area.
There Is a loss of eighteen one hun
dredths of an acre by the highway
cutting in on the original allotment
as prescribed. The reehecking of the
ground was made and the notes are
now in the hands of the governor.
To BE Made Carnival
A feature of the coming fair will
be the cantaloupe exhibit or carnival.
At that time il is proposed to make
the Heart OF Gold melon famous over
the state. as they will be freely dis
tribnted to those who visit the fair
other features await action by the
committees which will be appointed
at a meeting to be held about the
first of August In the meantime
Capt. Clarke and others who are TAX

Local Produce
Lacks Grading

ducers and Merhants
Through Lack of
Proper Care

That there Is a lack of grading
of produce is the statement of al
the merchants of the city. Much In

A few days ago at one of the
stores of this city fifty pounds OF
Strawberries, fresh from the farm
were received, but owing to their be-
ing placed in large cartons and nc
attention given to packing they were
completely wrecked on reaching mar

as they had to be returned. During
the same day another lot of berries
came in carefully picked and packed,
they were disposed of before half of
the customers knew of it, in fact
standing orders for them had to be
filled.
II is the same with eggs and other
local market necessities. In many
instances the merchants stand loss
on eggs through poor packing. The
grading of eggs by local poultry men
is a rarely. In every real market
eggs are garded as carefully as any
marketable product, nor the grade

In one instance the local merchant
states that arrangements were made
to handle local crop, but owing to
failure to deliver that telegraphic
orders from California had to be
filled, and the local man was guar
anteed higher price than the mer
chant was paying for the imported
goods.
Several efforts have been made to
instruct in grading and packing of
local products but there has been no
concerted effort on the part of many
of the local producers to stick to the
hard and fast rules as set up by the
produce exchanges of the large mar
kets.
Grading OF cream is now in force
at the local creamery, and it should
be. as ii guarantees the consumer the
best product on the coast. A bad
batch of cream will spoil a whole
churning and the reputation that has
cost thousands of dollars to produce
is lost IL the high standard is not
maintained
At this season of the year tons OF
produce are imported and sold local
ly that could be handled through the
home merchants II properly packed

condition that is a fast rule in the

Modern Hotel
Wingfield Plan
Would Finance Addit.
ion to Flood Build
ing; to send in
Architect

George Wingfield when in Fallon
last week on the state fair matter
took up the question of a hotel for
this city. At one time Mr.. Wingfield
proposed a modern hotel on a block
cf land that he owns on south Main
street and went so far as to have
plans drawn for such an establish
ment. The building program fell
through and while hotel talk has
been in the air for some time It again
came to Wingfield to start the ball
rolling.
While talking of this matter with
a number of friends he made the
statement that the one crying need
of Fallon was a hotel and he went
so far as to say that he would inves-
tigate the Flood building and If II
was what he expected that he would
finance the erection of another story
and make a real hotel for this city.
Mr.. Wingfield stated that he
would send in his architect and have
him go over the building with a plan
to build SO rooms all to be modern
and most of them with baths and
every convenience that can be found
in any hotel over the state. By this
building II would add 10 the string
of hotels now under the manage
ment of the Wingfield interests and
assure a patronage through recon-
mendations that would soon make
Fallon known as one of the places in
Nevada where accommodations could
be found suitable for any class of
trade. The big hotel of Winnemucea
and the remodeled Golden Hotel at
Reno would act in conjunction with
the Lahontan Hotel of this city.
Carries Out Old Plan
II is given out that the new addi-
tion will cost in the neighborhood
Of $4,000 or $4,000 and that work
will start within a short time. the
idea being to have the place under
cover before winter sets in.
As has been stated before the
Flood building was originally erect
ed with the intent of modelling into

purpose and at the same time put
