COTTON STANDARDS
ACT IS CONDEMNED
British Cotton Men Declare
New Measure Unjust-Sure
to Be Confusing.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 12.-The alarm of
the British cotton trade in conse-
quence of the United States cotton
standards act Is featured by the
Morning Post today. 1t quotes Liv-
erpool and Manchester cotton men as
saying that the operation of the act.
requiring interstate and foreign cot
ton sales and shipments to be based
on American official standards, is
bound TO result in confusion.
Some of the provisions OF the act
are declared to impose injustice upon
European buyers. Opinion in Liver
pool is represented as being free
from any fear that the United States
will be able TO establish selling
headquarters for the worlds cotton
trade, and as believing il idle for
America to suppose European buyers
will be willing to pay cash for cot
ton under the provisions of the act.

STABILITY IN INDUSTRY

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
PITTSBURGH. June I2-With pro-
duction tipping peak figures. steel is
strong today. Mill operations are
he ing maintained with schedules in
creased where they have not reached
capacity and where man power is
available. The buying for immediate
delivery is not in large volume. as
mills are catching up on shipping
schedules. Buyers are more inclined
to hold orders until near the time
of need than they were two months
ago. Makers believe there is an ele-
ment of stability in the market
which will prevent price changes for
some time.

DEATH CALLS PETER HIIBEL

Mr.. Peter Hiibel of the Harmon
district died Sunday evening, Jan.
14th, after a brief illness. He was
born on the 18th of February. 1872,
in Bonneville, Indiana. About four
years ago he came to Fallon and To-
Gated in the Harmon district. Mr.
Hiibel was an Industrious man,
loving father and husband, with a
kindly disposition and always ready
to help his neighbors and friends.
This was brought out most beauti-
fully at the service held at his late
home on Tuesday morning of this
week when a large number of people
met to give expression to their deep
sorrow. 1t was a great comfort to
the grief stricken wife and children
who mourn the loss of a dear one.
Beautiful flowers spoke of love and
friendship. The remains were laid
to rest in the Fallon cemetery with
services by Rev. p. E. Petersen as
sisted by Mrs. j. J. Beatty, Mrs. A. w.
Walker and Mr.. Evans.

MASS MEETING APPROVES CONTRACT
Highlanders Outvote Directors at Session
Called To Protest Electric Power Grant
Pass Resolution Calling For Construction Of Spanish Springs
Reservoir Earliest Possible Date Ask Power be Made

by IL. J. Long who opened his state
ment TO the effect that the people
had been deceived to some extent in
the impression that the contract had
been signed. He, with others, was
of the opinion that by Withholding
the present contract better service
and concessions could be secured,
and that while there had been delay,
he believed that it would be to the
best interest of the entire project II
the contract be held up pending
adjustments and possible cancel
lation of the power leasing feature,
as he did not believe in trading the
peoples electric plant for a question
able power right on the Truckee. He
then read the Oddie telegram to-
gether with Letter from Mr.. Bean
which set forth the fact that the
contract had not been signed.
Mr.. Swingle rose and slater that
the approval of the contract was a
practical signaure and II was so con-
sidered by the people of his section
and Hazen.
Mr.. A. ID. Drumm took a fling at
the bureau heads and the method OF
handling such momentous questions,
while several others tried to get In
a word Then someone wanted to
know by what authority Mr.. Long
was acting as chairman and there
was a demand for a vote on the
selection. The result showed that
Long had &c votes as against 5b.
Immediately a telegram which had
been received from the reclamation
Office was offered and read, which In
part stated that the contract would
be held up pending action of the
mass meeting. IL was believed that
the contract was the best obtainable
and that should litigation be in
yolYed IL would mean extended de-
lays. IL is necessary to lease the
power plant TO someone and that the
reclamation service has no funds
available for purchase of transmits
sion lines and other equipment and
that 1t is believed that no other con-
tract or lease can be negotiated as
favorable as this one. Drainage
was delayed for years by local oppos-
ition. If similar opposition desires
to delay water storage they must
take the responsibility. The tele-
gram was signed by assistant secre-
try Davis.
Mr.. Drumm then recited the fall
ures of the government to act OH
settlement in the original project
and believed that this section had
first claim as against Spanish Springs
or any other section. He asked That
the contract be so worded that power
be available to the people-"The
greatest asset of the project is being
given away" He then offered res
olution to the effect that better leas-
ing features be incorporated and that
the signing of the contract be held
The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1923-01-17

pending such introduction, reciting
much that was believed to be neces-
sary to safeguard the project people,
especially those who desire light and
power from the Lahontan plant.
He was followed by Mr.. Dietz who
believed and stated that the power
distribution could be handled by To-
cal people il they would but get to-
gether. Long stated that the power
company had refused any such con-
cession, which was in turn disputed
by Mr.. Swingle who produced tel
egram from the company stating that
they were willing to open negotia-
tions for community distribution. Mr..
Hardy then got the floor and made
a statement that had some weight
that the matter of water to the
Hazen-f'srnley section was more i'm
portant than anything under consid-
Grafton and, that the people of that
section had stood with Fallon on
drainage and only asked as a matter
of justice that Fallon stand with
them in securing more water for
their parched lands and that 1t could
only be done by building Spanish
Springs. He made one of the telling
appeals of the meeting. His state
ment that state development was
paramount brought forth applause.
Spring a Surprise
At this time ex- Governor Boyle
was called upon by the Hazen-Fern-
ley people. His appearance came as
a surprise to the people who had
called the meeting. He was intro
dueed by Mr.. Long and Boyle at
once launched into a historical and
Intelligent recital of the whole con-
troyersy. sparing no feelings but
dealing a lot of body blows From
Lake Tahoe to the Sink was taken
under consideration and threshed
out. He told the people that they
we're not financially ready for power
locally and that while he believed
that eventually II would be theirs,
and under their own management.
at present II was out of the question,
mainly on account of the cost and
limited sales. He told of the grant
ing of the power right at Vista and
stated that it was a valid and con-
stitutional right and that many at
tempts had been made to break 1T
but without effect. He told of the
visit of Secretary Fall to the project
and his assertion that rights must
be cleared before the government
would lend further assistance. He
said that the people were in a meas
ure taking away water that belongs
to the boys on the bench to turn
their electric plant, and believed that
the building of the Spanish Springs
reservoir was for their and Fallons s
ultimate and perpetual benefit.
Remember" he said, that the
right of the gift of the power to the
people must come from Congress.

aIlace Smitten
Telephone MANAGER

After considering a number of ap-
plieants for the position Of superin
incident of the Churchill county tele-
phone system the county commits
sioners met last Thursday and nemed
Wallace Smitten for the position.
His bid was S215 per month, he to
furnish his own car and the county
to pay for gas and upkeep. This was
the program before.
Mrs. Stella Richhart was retained
as bookkeeper and cashier, and will
have charge of switchboard en-
ployes. Her salary was fixed at S115
as heretofare. Her work has peen en-
tirely satisfactory to the commission
ers and to the public.
Under the contract the new man
ager is TO have the handling of all
outside employees and will also at
tend minor details. His bond was
fixed at $4,000, while that of Mrs.
Richhart is placed at $4,000.
The new manager, son of City Mar
shal j. M. Smitten. is fitted for the
position, having made a study of the
work he is now taking up. He was
given years training at Camp
Meade. then served with the Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces in France
on the west front, where he helped
carry on the lines of communication
through Atelephone connection. For
the past three years he has been a
regular employe of the local tele-
phone system.
In the future the position carries
the title of superintendent instead of
manager, as heretofore chronicled.

FALLON AND
I GAME LAWS
Local Gun Club Fayors
County Control. Mem
bers Attend Meeting

Thursday afternoon a number of
Fallon sportsmen left for Reno
where they took part In fish and
game legislation that Is to be- pre-
sented to the legislature. Members
of the Greenhead Club, one of the
organizations in western Nevada, and
which have been fighting for game
enforcement laws, and whose repre-
sentatiyes attended the conference,
returned to Fallon with the matter
of control of game still in the air.
Governor Scrugham, who seems
anxious to listen to argument on the
merits of control, either state or
county, was undecided when the
meeting finally adjourned.
Many were for state control OF
game and the enforcement of laws,
while others are inclined to county
regulations, it being argued that
each county knows its own condition
better than its neighbor. 1t Is con-
tended by the county control follow
ers that the license money provided
by such collection should go to the
county where 1t is collected, and that
a local game warden has better
knowledge of the situation than
someone sitting on a commission
this sentiment prevailed.
The question Of game refugees had
considerable discussion. 1t is also q
matter of state or federal control
and location. It was the consensus
of opinion that the state should have
such selection and preferably within
forest reserve sections. This feature
will be threshed out during the legis-
latiye session.
1t seems possible that Indians will
be allowed to hunt and fish without
license. This would to large de-
gree settle the controversy existing
over the privileges at Pyramid Lake,
where there has been considerable
friction between the whites and the
Indians.
The fact that stock men must be
considered In the selection of game
refugees is a matter that is going to
require some diplomacy, as the stock
men, as a class, have not favored
such movement. 1t is believed how
ever, that settlement will be made
and it is possible that the governor
will have the selection of such places
after consultation with the stockmen
and the state fish and game protec-
tive league.
There is no question but that all
of the sportsmen are in unison on the
question OF preservation and enforce
ment of game laws. They are also
united on the law which would pre-
vent the sale of game and against
all market hunting. Each district
feels that 1t is entitled to certain reg
ulations that differ with those Of the
neighbor, and 1t was to make uni
form the laws that the session was
held. 1t is probable that other meet
ings will take place before the law
or laws will come before the legisla-
ture. Each member of the legislature
is waiting to hear from the county
represented. as 1t is always one of
the questions that causes tangle
when the lawmakers meet.

ity. in other words, the states say
to the federal government; I'VE will
give you the big responsibility of
this undertaking, but we will share
it with you; and our officials will do
their part in its enforcement" Under
this decision of the chief justice. if a
state court fails to mete out punish
ment sufficiently drastic in the opin-
ion of the federal government en-
foreement officers, they may insti-
tute prosecution against the offender
and the federal courts have full au-
thority to punish him again for the
same offense under the national pro-
hibition act.
Instructions sent out by Attorney
General Daugherty to federal attor-
neys to push all pending cases and to
impose heaviest possible penalties
will, Commissioner Haynes believes,
aid materially In gaining joint action
between federal officials and local
authorities.
"The response to these instruc-
tions by United States attorneys, es-
pecially in applying the paddock
provision, has been electrical and
with such cooperation marked strides
in constructive enforcement are GER
tain," Commissioners Haynes says.
''The paddock provision is proving
the most effective weapon we have
in combating the illegal traffic in
liquor and reports from every section
of the country indicate that 1t is be-
ing invoked in every case where the
circumstances warrant. with most
gratifying results"
