Following the recent hearing over
the power contract between the rec
lamation bureau and the Canyon
Power Company. in which the con-
tract has been the question, with GER
tain amendments and notifications.
]. F. Richardson made trip to San
Francisco to hold a consultation with
Mr.. Adams, president of the power
company. Mr.. Richardson returned
to this city last week and while little
was accomplished, yet he is of the
opinion that the company is willing
to stick with its plan of liberality to
electric power consumers.
In talking over the matter and his
interview with Mr.. Adams, he said
that the power people felt that they
had already made concessions and
that the matter of rate fixing should
be one of public service concern, and
that such precedent has been estab-
lished throughout the east and west
on all such problems.
He cited the city of Yuma, Ariz.,
proposition wherein the state public
service or railroad commission which
handles such matters. has filed suit
against a contract en- practically
such lines as were proposed in the
Lahontan contract. This matter will
now come to the courts and the pow
er regulating commission feels safe
in its contention that the courts will
decide against specifically set figures
this being matter of court record
In a number of instances.
Mr.. Adams, he states, is firm in
the belief that the company has made
good concessions and that with their
Investment and the future expendit-
ures the contract as IL is will be the
one that will be insisted on, or II
modified, will be only in small de-
tails.
The company, so Mr. Adams stated,
has been advised by their attorneys
that the insertion of the proposed
amendments TO the contract would
invalidate ii, and with this in mind
the corporation does not feel that ii
is either wise or matter of business
to take such chances on matter that
must have governmental approval
Mr.. Richardson, So he stated, was
in hopes that the consultation would
bring about more concessions, but
after several hours talk, pro and con,
the matter rested as IL did before the

MARRIED

Congratulations are being extend
ed to Andrew Getto, one of the pros
porous farmers of this section on ac-
count of his marriage on February
26th, to Miss Longo Desolins, of Clin-
ton, Indiana. The ceremony was per-
formed by Justice Jones.
The groom is rated as one of the
up-to-date farmers of the valley and
is regarded as one of our substantial
citizens. The lady in the case COM
ing from the middle states is being
made welcome by the friends of the
family.
This is the first marriage recorded
since the first of the year and it is
hoped that others that are contem-
plated will take the hint and carry
on the good work.

The necessity of repairs to the Lin
coin Highway leading westward from
Leetville is realized In points outside
of Fallon. Mr.. w. p. Harrington,
state counsel of the Lincoln Highway
Association, In a recent talk over the
highway and the expansion together
with the routing of travel this sum
mer, was emphatic In his demand for
the betterment of the conditions. In
this line he stated in a recent inter-
view with the Standard editor that
the barriers must be removed.
Take the point between Fallon
and Carson" he said, "I consider
tions of road across the state. not as
road altogether but from the fact
that IL leads in and out of one of the
districts whereby the state can hope
to benefit in population and offer in
ducements to settlers. Without that
particular section being in condition
to travel, homeseekers are sent over
other routes that through their geo
graphic conditions take the people
past the possibilities that are offered.
For practically every season in the
past five or six years l have made
trips In and out of Fallon over the
Carson Leetville road, and each year
the physical condition becomes
worse. | have maintained from the
start that this section of road should
have become a center of endeayor to
better, but despite recommendations
1t has been neglected and last year
became partially impossible, thus
preventing travel into Fallon and
outward, or to parties who wished to
go in and look over your town. These
who wished to be directed to Carson
and then over the Osterman grade
to Lake Tahoe failed to reach the OBJ
jective, as they were routed via Reno,
which in turn sent them over the
Truckee summit, which was natural,
as 1t seemed the logical thing to do.
Had the Leetyille-Carson road been
in the condition that the state and
the people should have demanded,
the autoist would have come to Car
son or to Minden or other highly in
teresting and historic sections, and
Fallon In turn would have received
many touring parties that never had
a chance at your district.
81 understand that th,re is a pos
sibility of some state money being
diverted toward the maintenance or
repair of this road, and l hope that
this will be assured. While the state
is making arrangements to do much
good over the state this one small
road obstruction should be removed.
THE fact that this road was one
OF the selections by the Lincoln High
way officials should have long ago
been the factor that the state should
have observed in the selection of
funds for permanent road building.
While agree with you that the road
as Ii now is mapped should be re-
the touring people a safe road to and
paired to a point where it assures

Sub Divided Acres
Need of District

Many who are not farmers and
ments in a small way are looking
around for small tracts Of land suit
able for the ideas they have in view,
but according to their complaint
there is nothing available with water
and close enough in to be made a
feature in their plans.
Several who have talked this over
agree that II there was available
land close enough for their city work
they would be on small but intensi-
fled farms. Berry culture, chickens,
turkeys, a few high grade cows. or
other interesting farm ventures are
the thoughts. but the desirable sec
tlon is not available, so IL is stated.
In practically every other section
where farming is a success small
tracts of from TO 10 acres are avail
able to those of the city. This is
particularly true of California cities,
In fact much of the produce that is
shipped to the outside world from
California comes from the small
tracts of land farmed or managed by
those who live in the city.
Several large holdings near Fallon
of ideally situated land is held which
could be cut up into small tracts for
just such cases as have been brought
TO notice. The realty men of this
city, who are alive to most any sit
uation, could be consulted by some of
the large land owners adjoining the
city limits and undoubtedly some
business could be done with the
home people and the stranger who is
looking for a place to settle. When
California papers are picked up and
the small land tract is made the fea-
ture In nearly every case the ques-
ton arises, why not Fallon?
Every acre of land that goes into
intensified farming, and where a
home is built, becomes an asset to
the community. With the auto as a
mode of transportation and the gen
eral road improvements there is an
inducement offered for small tract
farming or suburban homes. Practic-
ally every man who don't know how
to farm believes that he does.
Reno and that section is profiting
by the suburban farmer, and only re-
Gently the Wheeler holdings was cut
into small lots for thos who make
a demand for toy farming. What can
more than be duplicated here.

Good Road Day
Plans Under Way
Citizens Will be Asked
to Lend Aid to
Civic Work

A good road day is being planned
for Fallon in order that improve
ments of a permanent nature may be
added to highway that has been sub
jected to winter storms and heavy
haulage.
At a discussion Monday evening at
the chamber OF commerce several
members urged the program of a
good road day, In which the residents
of this community can get together
and assist the city and thems Ives in
a matter OF civic Improvement.
1t was decided that date will be
named when volunteers will be asked
to lend weight to shovels and others
to furnish teams and wagons to
spread gravel on the north end of
Main Street. This section was give.
consideration as most of the tsavy
haulage goes toward the freight
sheds. the creamery. the lumber
yards, flour mill and other important
business plants. The road through
winter storms has become badly rut-
ted and uneven. 1t Is proposed to
spread gravel over the road bed and
otherwise remedy the apparent and
self evident conditions.
At the same time the ladies OF
Fallon will be called upon to lend
assistance as the noon moal 10 to be
a feature of the program. The city
will furnish the gravel and the able
bodied citizens will furniah the work.
which is fair enough to everyone.
1t is expected that definite arrang-
ments will be made for this day OF
days at the next meeting Of the
chamber of commerce to be held
next Monday evening. The scheme
has been tried before and made Q
pronounced success. With the con-
crete highway, which will be fact
inside Of few months, the repairs
to the north end Of the street become
imperative. The citizens can hold
themselves in trim for this event.

Chamber of Commerce
Holds Extra Session
Several Legislative Matters Brought
Up for Consideration

Monday evening a special session
OF the chamber of commerce was
held in order to take up several sub
jects that seemed pressing before the
regular meeting of next Monday ev-
ening.
The women's league asked the ap-
proval of the club on the Sheppard
Towner bill. This having passed the
legislature no action was taken. In
the case of the. gasoline tax bill,
which as 1t passed the senate diverts
the two cent tax to the general state
fund, the chamber went on record as
against 1t and asks that 1t be amend
ed so that the funds should apply to
the highway fund, or to a distribu-
tion throughout the counties where
the tax is collected Telegraphic ad-
vice to that effect was ordered for
warded to the Churchill delegation
in Carson.
A communication urging the sup
port of delegates from Arizona and
Utah to the Sth district u S. Cham
pCi VI 1OH1hlciSct lhclt Dtiue Ou6 70
elect from the western zone resulted
in the club casting it's vote for Hugh
N. Rowe of Utah.
The question of Churchill county
taking a part in the Industrial and
Auto Show to be held in Reno, June
9th to 18th went over until the reg
ular meeting, as this is county pro-
position, full discussion is asked at a
regular session.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the governor relative to the
Churchill County and State Fair bill
The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1923-02-28

The chamber is urging the passage
and signing of the bill, and should it
be necessary delegation will go to
Carson to confer with the governor
on the necessity of the law In order
to assist this section in many indus
tries that need publicity.
Mr.. Cline. who recently returned
from Davis, Calf, where he has been
in consultation with many interested
in his line of work, outlined a plan
for the participation of Churchill
county at the coming Pacific Slope
Dairy Show, which is to be held in
San Francisco during the late sum-
mer or fall. This is an all-west show
and he believes that the project
should have a chance to show the
world some of the pure bred stock
together with other examples of the
best in farming and husbandry life
in this district as we'll as from the en-
tire state. This matter will be taken
up at a regular session and other
commercial clubs over the state will
be consulted in regard to the selec-
tion of a state delegate.
The question of ballast for the
Southern Pacific road bed and urg-
ing application of money from the
improvement program to be applied
between Hazen and Fallon was sug-
gested and will be taken up with the
s. p heads.
A good day program was talked
over and this will be given full pub
licity during the next regular
meeting.

hogs was shipped out to the Nevade
Pack at Reno. This was another
community shipment as approx
mately twelve farmers Joined In the
cargo that went out.
