ADVERTINING PROJECT
MEETS APPROVAL
California Bankers Will Stand Share
of Expense to Help Settlement

There has been much discussion by
members of the commercial club, the
farmers and land holders of this sec
tion and others who are interested
in a larger population for this sec
ton. II has been conceded that there
is but one way to bring attention tn
the advantages of this project to the
vertising.
Parties who have interested them
selves in the proposition of cutting
up large estates and offering them to
settlers or colonists have taken on
color enough so that there seems to
be something tangible to tie to.
Il is known that several of the
large land holders are willing to sub
divide providing they can be shown
a market for the holdings. 1t is to
get the settler for such land that a
proposed campaign is to be started.
In a number of instances project
farmers or settlers have found that
they have too much land for profit
owing TO the hire that is necessary.
Many started with little or nothing
and the pull uphill has been too
heavy, and In order to be able to
handle a part of the ground success
fully they are willing to sell sections
or portions of their improved lands.
II is probable that within a few
weeks at the most that an advertis-
ing campaign in a small but effective
way will be undertaken. II is pro-
posed to use newspapers through the
central and middle west, where farm
ers are seeking better market con-
dition. where the climate is more
equitable and where they are guar
anteed all the water than can be
used; where drainage is provided and
on lands that do not need the original
pioneering work to put them into
crop bearing condition.
It is believed that a comparative
small amount of money can be ex-
pended through the FOR SALE"
columns of the papers selected by
some authorized advertising agency
and that several million people will
be able to read In a small but terse
way the advantages Of this section.
Il is admitted that the one thing
lacking here Is population and there
has been no concentrated effort to
bring about further settlement nor
show the outside world what IS avail
able TO the farming centers mention
ed. There is many a section in Cali
fornia that IS dansely populated
where conditions are IN no way equal
to those that exist here. Water is far
higher per acre foot in California,
and in many sections ii is pumped

Auto Wreck
Injuries Two
Highway Scene of Bad
Headon Crash With
Local Drivers

About 10 o'clock Saturday night a
head on collision between two fast
driven automobiles resulted in the
complete demolishion of the Chevro-
let car driven by Ralph Ruby and
badly twisted Old9mobile driven by
W. S. Everett of Hazen.
The accident happened Just beyond
the turn to tile west of the pavilion
and proved an interesting sight for
many of the people the following
morning. That both men were not
instantly killed is the marvel of all
who viewed the wreckage of the
small car, as IL is Ralph Ruby suf-
fered severe facial injury including
the loss of a number of teeth and
otherwise badly shaken up. From
latest reports he will recover, and
while he will be laid up for some
time, his injuries are not of fatal
character. Mr. Everett was taken
home the same night and reports
from him are to the effect that while
he was badly injured about the chest
and lungs that he is gradually i'm
proving and no serious complications
are expected.
Fast Driving
1t was evident from appearance
of the two cars that some fast driv-
ing was being indlflged in. Ruby
was coming in and Everett going out
When the crash came the Ruby car
was evidently thrown high in the air
and completely turned around and
lay bottom up with practically every
breakable portion a mass of junk.
The Olds escaped with one side twist
ed, but 1t is in repairable condition.
From what can be learned of the
cause it is blameable to a certain ex-
tent to the glare of headlights fol-
lowing around the turn. Parties liv-
ing close in heard the compact and
Immediately went to the rescue. They
found Ruby under a mass of wreck
age and lifted the machine from him
He was at that time semi-conscious
and begged that they finish the job.
He was Immediately taken to town
and the wounds dressed and other
wise made comfortable. With all of
the wreckage piled on him there were
no bones broken, the main injuries
coming from contact with the wind
shield or other sharp sections of the
machine.
Mr.. Everett after an examination
was removed to his home in Hazen
For a time it was feared that he was
badly injured internally. The U41s
was taken back to town under a tow
rope while the other car was gather
ed up in sections and taken to the
junk pile. 1t is the first serious acct
dent on the highway this summer.

A PARADE FEATURE

The kiddies' parade and circus was
made possible to a large extent by
the music rendered by the band of
this city. Through the efforts of the
boys and Professor Harry Clinton
the youngsters paraded to music
which was highly appreciated by the
large number of people who witness
ed the street show, and may it all
happen again.

at high expense on lands that are
producing the same crops that are
grown here. Lands on the other side
of the Sierras of practically the same
character as those OF the Newlands
project bring nearly double the price
per acre, and there is no water guar
antee. Lands of Eagle, Washoe and
Carson Valley that have the same
water assurance bring double IL not
treble the price that is asked in this
valley, and in no instance can the
same crops be produced.
The expense to the farming inter
est in such a campaign will be ex-
tIemely nominal. and should one set
tier come in and make a permanent
home the expense is more than com
pensated. The Union Pacific people
figure that each family that settles
on their promotions is worth $20,-
600 during their lifetime, and that
IL is a perpetual asset to the rail peo-
pie. the county, city and state. What
applies to the corporation interests
tits in this project
The advertising committee expects
within a short time to be able to re
port progress on what should bring
settlers to this section of Nevada.
During the week j. e Huntoon,
president of the Peoples Bank Of
Sacramento paid this city visit. In
talking the future of the valley over
with F. p strassburg he stated that
he could see better conditions in
sight and that with the constant
growth of the dairy industry that his
people felt safe on their investments
here.
With the People
In regard to advertising the re-
sources of this section Mr. Huntoon
assured Mr.. Strassburg and others
that he was heartily in favor of the
plan. In fact he stated that the bank
people would stand their prorata OF
the costs and hoped that the cam
paign would be launched at no dis
tant date.
1T is people that we want here
and we are as vitality interested as
any individual if not more so, as we
have investments totalling 100000
here. With the larger farms cut up.
more population and more dairy bust
ness this valley can and will become
the finest section in Nevada. We
are with the people on this advertis-
ing proposition and will shoulder
our share of the costs at any time. /"
With the people for the plan and
the big investors ready to stand back
of the scheme it will require only
some detail arrangements to put this
in active motion.

FALLON CELEBRATES
FOURTH OF JULY
Day Given Over to Sports With Big
Crowd From Nearby Cities

dance, war dance and medicine dance
was given.
The dance at the pavilion was a
crowded affair with excellent music
and lasted until near morning when
everyone decided that Fallon had put
on the best celebration ever given in
western Nevada.
Athletic Features
Practically every seat at the Rex
theatre was occupied by men and
women who took in the athletic ex-
hibitions that proved the big feature
of the celebration.
The exhibition opened with a
wrestling match between Homer
Bower and Sam Reed. No fall was
recorded and both men showed abil-
ity in this line. This was followed by
an exhibition between Fred Minden
and r. j. Kolstrup. both heavy
weights As in the other match no
fall was recorded but some excellent
examples of wrestling science was
shown. 1t proved one of the attrac-
tions of the evening.
Boxing
The preliminary exhibitions
brought out as much enthusiasm as
did the main event. The atomweight
affair between Shorty" dollhouse
and Lefty" Danielson really got
more go than the heavier classes and
more encouragement from the big
audience. 1t was a draw.
The bout between kid" Schultz
and tx. o." Dickerson was strictly
had an engagement the following day
and no features we're spoiled It was
a clever get apart affair from start
to finish.
The next event was between ICY
clone" Durand and SHARK" Shirley
in which SHARK" was there with the
goods for about one minute and on
the defense for the rest of the bout
It brought down the house however
and was thoroughly enjoyed.
The Main Event
Eddie Hollingsworth of Lovelock
and c. l. Teel of Fallon met for the
concluding bout in what was to be
six round go. From the outset Teel
was outclassed and only saved him
self in the first round by taking q
six second count. He did during the
third round manage to land a left
hook on Hollingsworth's eye which
was retaliated by a Knockout punch
when Teel took the count. Hollings-
worth is a very clever boxer and the
boys are figuring on finding material
to get the money back tat the Love
lockers took home.
The Baseball
The ball game on the Fourth be-
tween Fallon and Lovelock while II
brought out the largest crowd that
over assembled at the local diamond
did not prove a close contest as the
home team from the start had the
edge on the visitors.
The hot afternoon made ii siren
uous affair for the spectators and the
ball players which probably account
ed for the score that was piled up.
There was plenty of roofing and
cheering and every play was accorded
its respective applause, the visiting
team getting It's share. The follow
ing was the score and the players:

In response to inquiries as to wheth-
er it is lawful for hotels Or restaurants
to serve wild ducks and geese, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture states that the provisions of the
migratory bird treaty act and regula-
tions make it unlawful to buy OIL sell
wild duck or other migratory birds or
parts thereof, except under proper
permits for scientific or propagating
purposes.
Migratory waterfowl in captivity
under proper Federal and State permits
may be bought or sold and served in
hotels or restaurants, but this does not
apply to any wild birds, including
those captured under permit for pro
pagation purposes, as birds thus cap
tured can not be killed or sold for food
purposes at any time.
The serving of the flesh of wild
birds with meals in hotels, restaurants,
or other places is unlawful if a price is
charged for the meal, and the statute
can not be avoided under a p%retense
