VISITED FALLONITES

Rev. P. e. Petersen, who spent a
couple of days in Reno, visited Ted
Osmundson at ST. Mary's hospital.
He reports that Ted is doing as well
as can be expected and that he is in
good spirits. The visits by the num-
ber of Fallonites who have been in
are appreciated by Ted, who is des-
tined for number of weeks in the
hospital.
Walter Phillips who underwent an
operation some time ago is also in
the hospital and he is gaining slowly
but surely. Both of the Fallonites
wished to be remembered to their
friends here.

MACCABEE LODGE
FORMED IN FALLON

This Wednesday evening a charter
Of the Maecabee lodge will be formed
in this city with twenty candidates
for initiation and installation. The
lodge is organized under the direc-
tion of Mrs. E. II. Hern of Reno who
has spent a number of days in this
city. Mrs. Hern is state deputy for
Nevada. A drill team came down
from Reno during the afternoon, be-
ing the same team that was sent to
the national convention at Los An
geles. Mrs. James Best of this city
has taken an active part in the form
alton OF the lodge here.
The public installation ceremonies
will be held at the Naples pavilion
at s O'Clock which will be followed by
a dance, the music being Louie's
band from Reno. From the number
of tickets sold and the visitors the
dance promises to be one of the larg-
est held in some time in Fallon.

See Bright Future Ahead
For Newlands Project
Geo. W. Armijo, Representing Secretary Work
Sizes up Situation From Non-O Official
Angle; Dairy the Big Thing

George w. Armijo, personal rep
resentatiye to the secretary of the
interior, who has spent the past ten
days ON this project where he per-
sonally interviewed many of the set
tiers, is of the opinion that there is
a bright future ahead for this pro-
ject
He states that undoubtedly that
some adjustments will have to be
made and that is the policy of Sec
retary Work and what he has sent
Mr. Armijo here for. This work goes
on in way of recommendation and
from such suggestions the actual
benefits are finally adjusted.
Cows the Salvation
In speaking of the big future of
the Newlands project Mr.. Armiio
stated
after spending the past week or
more on this project it is apparent
that the big future rests with the
dairy and the products from such a
source. The outstanding feature to
my mind is the success of those who
have followed dairying and have not
deyiated from that course. That 9th
ers will follow there is no question,
and from the amount of alfalfa that
is cut here there is no reason why
this should not be one of the leading
dairy sections of the west.
81 have noted some excellent herds
of cows in my travels, and while
am not a dairyman or a farmer the
high class breeding is apparent to
anyone who comes to this valley. The
further travel teh more impressed |
am with the future possibilities along
this line To anyone asking me what
to do on this project l would say
cows and then some more cows.
II have found that this section has
difficulties in the matter of freight
rates which prevents competition
with outside sections on anything
aside from dairy products, and the
constant demand for all the cream
and butter produced here solves prae-
tirally all that diffirhlty in this one
industry.
This project is better fitted eli
matically. for dairying than some OF
the others, and the hay that is cui
here is of a very superior quality. To

sHoULDERING THE HIGHWAY

Work of shouldering up the cement
highway through this city is well
under way. The contract calls for a
six foot shoulder on either side OF
the cement which will be finished
within the next three weeks by the
contracting firm.
Following this part of the contract
the city council will make some ar
rangements toward grayeling down
Main street in order to protect the
cement center and also render prop
er drainage from the shoulder line to
the curb.
1t is expected that the lower end
of the highway will be thrown open
for travel this coming week and by
the first of the month that the entire
stretch of cement will be ready for
public travel.

Closing Land Deals
AT Spanish Springs

Active work toward the addition
of the Newlands project at Spanish
Springs is well under way. Following
the surveys of the inundated terri
tory that will follow the building of
the dam, a number of purchases have
been made by the government agents
in Reno. Negotiations for practically
all of the land that is necessary to
carry out the building program has
been concluded and in some instances
deeds have been transferred to the
government from the property hold
ers.
The Reno Journal records some of
the transfers.
The Jensen estate ranch, of some
$40 acres, in the lower end of the
valley was purchased during the
week, according to unconfirmed re-
ports, for $37, 900. About 200 acres
of this ranch was under cultivation,
ii is said, while the remainder was
pasture grass and waste land.
Prices offered for the land range
from S75 to $500 an acre, it is said,
with a general average of about s125
per acre. Negotiations for the land
are being carried on quietly with
each individual owner. 1t is expect
ed that this work will be finished
within the next week or 10 days.
The land was appraised several
months ago and the appraisement
sent to the reclamation service for
approval These were returned from
Washington few days ago and it is
on the basis of this appraisal made
by True Vencill, Lytton Stoddard, Mr..
Yates and the reclamation service Of
ficials that the present negotiations
are being carried out.

A WET WEEK

Following the frost of last week
which did some damage to garden
truck and melons in places there has
been repeated rain showers that have
delayed haying in this section. Some
hay was down, but the majority of
the farmers had not cut owing To
threatening conditions.
Hay cutting will be in full swing
the moment the weather clears and
there is promise of a fair crop, a
trifle shy in places, but better av-
erage than was figured ten days ago.
The rain has been beneficial to
pasture and range while the new
highway between Hazen and Fernley
has been assisted through the mois-
ture Road conditions throughout
the county have benefited by the
moisture is the statement that comes
from east and west.

APPRECIATE THE BAND

The band concert given by the
Oats Park Band assisted by members
of the Fallon Band and directed by
Harry Clinton, in the Rex theatre
the 18th inst, in aid of the camp
ground fund was enjoyed by all who
heard it. The combined band mem
bers deserve much credit for the ex-
cellent rendition of the six selections
offered The fox trot and waltz, THE
Trail to the Long Ago" was excep-
tionally fine. The Civic Club and the
music loving public anxiously await
the time when this same band will
give another concert.

Arthur ?. Davis
Dismissed by
Sect y. Work
Well Known Reclama-
ton Director Sum-
marily Dismissed

WASHINGTON, June 19.=Pros--
pective changes in the reclamation
service will be confined almost en-
tirely to organization and there will
be few transfers among the person
mel, Secretary Work said today in ex-
planning changes to be made on July
1st.
I'VE are going to put this branch
of the interior department on a bust
ness basis" the secretary said, "and
operate it in the interest of the set
tiers on reclamation projects as well
as for the protection of the govern
ment.
'Only through a recognition of the
fact that the interests of both are one

''SummariIy Dismissed
Arthur P Davis, the retiring di-
rector of the service whose office is
abolished, denied today that he has
resigned, declaring the change in the
office was total surprise"
'I was only informed" he said.
that the secretary thought it best
the Office should be under a business
man rather than an engineer, so |
was summarily dismissed"
The New Head
D. w. Davis. former governor of
Idaho, will assume charge Of the rec
lamation service with the title of
commissioner.
The news of the dismissal of Ar
thur P. Davis, director of the reclaim
alton service, by Secretary Work,
came as a general surprise to the
reclamation Office in this city and to
the people who have known him
here. Davis has been under critic
ism by water useres and settlers on
this project from time to time, but
has always withstood the fire, not
alone from this project but from the
others under his direction.
Davis is one of the most prominent
engineers in the service and has fig
ured in ali of the great projects by
the government since 1884, when he
entered the geological survey, ex-
ploring much of the arid sections of
America, later being sent to Nicar-
aqua and Panama to measure the
stream flow of those isthmuses. He
was subsequently photographer of
the Panama canal surveys. In 1906
he was made chief engineer of the
United States reclamation service,
and in 1914 was promoted to director
of the service. with full charge over
all branches of the work. He was
president of the American Society of
Civil Engineers in 1920 and is the
author of many books. most of them
published by the government.

At the present time there is a plan
on foot to carry on extensive COM
munity land advertising offering set
tiers a chance to come to this valley
and take over sections of farm lands
that have proven too large for those
who are desirous of selling.
1t has been realized for some time
that there are many instances where
settlers, or homesteaders, have taken
over a burden in land that they can
not carry to a profit owing to labor
and other conditions.
With this fact in mind parties are
at present in this valley figuring on d
community campaign of advertising
the holdings that are burdensome
and at the same time help fill the
valley with people who can take up
the oyerburden and add to the wealth
of the entire district.
Under the plan, which has SO far
only been a matter of discussion, it
is proposed to raise money through
community or holdings contributions,
this money to be expended in adYer-
tising the certain lots of land thai
are available for settlement, detail,
ing the advantages of the soil, eli
mate and conditions as they exist on
this project.
Such places as Los Angeles, cities
OF investments. would be covered by
investments, would be covered by
such paper advertising. This is the
policy and plan used in Southern
California and other sections that
have been going ahead and filling up
the blank places over the coast.
Cutting Large Holdings
California was the first state to
realize that large holdings were not
profitable either to the farmer or the
community. This resulted in the
thousands of small farms that are
now contributing to individual and
community wealth. On this project
many complain that labor, water
charges, taxes and other overhead
expenses eat up the profits Some
farmers have disposed OF portions Of
their holdings and others are willing
to make the same sacrifice. II is the
intention If this scheme can be put
on a workable basis to offer portions
The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1923-06-20

my thinking there is a very bright
future along this line for the people
who know the dairy business and
stick to it.
Not All Farmers
II have found here and elsewhere
that it is not every farmer who is
adapted to dairying. Unless the man
likes it, makes it business and aims
at success he will not be success.
This is just as true in every other line
of business. On the other hand
have visited a number of places on
the project where the owner was in
terested in dairying and in such cases
pronounced successes have been re-
corded, and they are the people who
have the least complaints on project
scores.
II have gathered much in the way
of data and hope to meet with many
others on this project. 1t is only by
such means that we can hope to solve
problems, and let me say that the
problems here are no worse or not as
bad as they are in many other parts
of the world.
1.-The people here have passed the
pioneering stage that is taking place
in some other sections, and by their
experiments and application of the
best methods of agriculture they are
in a position to know what can be
done here without being told by
someone who is not a farmer. In all
of my visits I have not found a sec
tion that promises more for the fu-
ture than does this porject and the
fact that 1t is primarily an American
settlement is one of the best features.
with abundance of water and the
completion of the drains together
with the soil l can see no reason why
this section ultimately will not be
one of the large agricultural sections
of the west, especially in the way of
dairying, and that is a safe invest
ment to anyone who cares for such
work and farming"
Mr.. Armijo expects to be on the
project another week or ten days and
desires to take up any questions or
differences that the project people
have. He will be found at the recla-
nation office where he has set up
office and desk.
