Dry Squad Raids
Two Local Places

Saturday evening federal prohibit
tion officers raided two soft drink
establishments in this city, resulting
in the arrest of three men.
At the Bank it is claimed that
evidence was secured that will hold
Jim Jensen and Homer Moss.
At the Barrel House a thorough
search was made but no liquor of
any kind was found in the house.
The officers, however, claimed to
have found bottle containing whis-
key on the roof of a shed in the
rear of the building and on the
strength of this evidence caused the
arrest of the proprietor.
The fact that no damaging evil
dence was found within the Barrel
House and that the bottle found on
the outside was apparently planted"
there by someone not connected with
Mr.. Hoover's establishment, has
caused considerable adverse COM
mept regarding the grounds for his
arrest.
All three of the men were taken
before commissioner Woodliff who
held them over under $1,000 bond in
each case. The bonds were immed-
lately furnished.

FIGURE ON EQUIPMENT
FOR CANNING PLANT

The parties interested In the pos
sibility OF a eannery for this section
are figuring with several concerns
relative TO the price of equipment
and materials From what has been
developed with correspondence IL Is
believed that a small cannery beyond
the experiment stage can be in
stalled.
1t Is realized that it will be i'm
possible this season to go into big
business, but the promoters are sat
isfied that practical canning can be
accomplished with the expenditure Of
a limited amount of money aud il is
with this In view that a small but
practical plant is to be installed.
Figures on a real plant have been
submitted and while II would assure
a manufacturing plant IL has been
decided to stick with the original
plan of conforming TO a plant TO fit
the present situation. IL Is certain
that the effort will be made to test
out the several fruits and vegetables
that are available and a home mar
kot is assured for this material. De
tails of the plan will be worked out
within a short time \ J. Reed

data from a number of small plants
that are most encouraging.

TAKING OUT SHIPMENT
AT CHALK MOUNTAIN

L. NJ. DAVIS, manager of the Chalk
Hills Silver-Lead Mines Company,
who spent the best part of the week
at the property came in last Satur-
day.
He states that the property is CIV
ing every indication of becoming one
of the real producers of this section.
Recently a cross cut has been started
on the 110 foot level to reach the
vein that is developed on the 60 foot
level. Stringers of good grade ore
are coming in and il is expected to
cut the vein in a short distance.
Work of extracting shipping ore
from the upper level continues and a
shipment will go forward shortly
Assays recently made show heavier
silver content, which brings the ore
grade up several notches. Mr.. DAVIS
is more than satisfied by the present
outlook at the property and with the
work that is outlined this should be
one of the going mining properties
in this end of the state.
Several other claims in the district
are receiving the attention that the
district warrants. Several mining
men have been over the ground in
the district the past months and in
dications are that transfers will be
made OF several promising claims.

$4,000 Now Available

Highway Engineer Borden Discusses
Plans For Road Expenditure

fornia. Recently one of the big mag
azines contained an advertisement
advising tourists to take the southern
route cutting out the northern and
western end of Nevada entirely, and
undoubtedly this advertising will
have its effect.
THE endeayor of the road boost
ers of this end of the state is to
divert this tourist travel TO western
Nevada and northern California Ell
ther over the Lincoln Highway or the
Victory. 1t is going to take a lot of
advertising to make the touring pub
lie realize that during the summer
to shunt them to southern California
is sending them into the hottest sec
tion of the west, while if they can be
sent north, say to Lake Tahoe or up
the Truekee river they escape all of
the diseomforts that are nature-made
in the south end of the state and over
the deserts of southern California
before they reach the cooler coast
sections.
with repairs made to the road
between Leetyille and Carson it will
offer an indueement to the tourist,
especially if they can be assured that
the road is in good travelable con
ditfon. We consider this one of the
assets in letting the world know that
il is possible to reach the mountain
GOODNESS from the Fallon section, or
that they can be directed from the
Lake Tahoe or Plaeerville section in
TO the Lahontan valley. l am con-
vineed that with conservative meth
DDS the comparatively small amount
of money allowed by the legislature
can be made TO do lot of work in
helping out the situation.
Another thing that can be figured
on in the future for the Churchill
county roads will be the gasoline tax.
This should bring in about $4,000 a
year for maintenance ortroad work.
This has been figured out in the
office and according to the ear popu-
lation this sum will be available the
next year. 1t is going to help every
county in the state in proportion to
the number of cars as every one of
them uses gas and the collection of
the fee is automatically controlled
through the selling stations. l CON
slider this law one of the best passed
for highway improvements that has
gone into the statutes.
THE recent opening of Lake Ia
hoe will be an incentive to start tour
list travel westward early this spring.
While the road over the summit into
California is not yet open it viii be
within very short time, and this
being the earliest route over the
summit into California, l believe will
help to divert the travel that is going
TO Los Angeles northward. Western
Nevada is fortunate in being able to
advertise this route to the travelling
public and California should help
make it a feature"

TALKING HONEY

The ancients robbed" their bees
and took out the honeycomb in
chunks none too cleanly the way
they handled 10, and crushed honey,
wax and all into a sticky mass. And
in this way 1t was eaten.
Up to 20 years ago there was not
much improvement in the method OF
preparing honey for eating. Those
who did not care for the wax In comb
honey, melted the chunks, and skim
med of the wax as it came to the top.
or strained It through eheeseeloth or
screen wire. Hence we have the term,
strained" honey. Many primitive
heekeepers still prepare their honey
for market in this manner. Such
honey may be excellent in quality II
It has not been overheated in the
process. Heating honey above Ice
degrees, at the highest, Injuries the
flavor. and also darkens It's color
Strained honey can be distinguished
from the best grades of extracted
honey by a eloudiness or murkiness
in the finished product that cannot
be gotten rid of.
The modern, up-to-date beekeeper
of the highest type neither kills his
bees nor "robs" them TO get the
honey. Instead. he has "supers" or
top hives that he sets above the reg
ular beehive, and the only honey he
takes is what they store in the supers
after they have gathered a plenty for
themselves and stored for their use
in the hive below. Sometimes there
isn't any surplus for the beekeeper.

Breaking Land
For New Crops
Demand is Brisk For
Alfalfa and Wheat
Seed on Project
This Spring

From the amount of alfalfa and
grain seed being sold by the Kent
company and others who handle this
farming necessity it is indicated that
more land Is being broken for hay
and grain than in several seasons.
The increase in alfalfa seed demand
Is oceasioned, it is believed, by the
steady price of butter fat which has
been a pay envelope OF the project
farmers. More COWS are being added
to the equipment of each farm and
this means more hay consumed To-
cally.
Grain at the present time even for
chicken feed is imported. At one
store in this city every tenth custom
er ordered chicken feed, all 0f which
was imported. Seed wheat is in good
demand and there will be more
raised this season than formerly and
should result in less importation
another year. Comfortable corn is
imported which could be raised on
the project and assist in cutting
down the cost of poultry production
by table furnished by the board
of trade of San Francisco it is shown
that the coast cities are short ap
proximately 10000 pounds of butter
perweek, and this has had the ten
deney to keep the price of butter fat
above that of several previous sea-
sons.
II was pointed out by Mr. Cline
that in many of the dairy sections
the acreage that formerly supported
cows is now being devoted to other
culture. The high price of imported
hay, he contended has had the effect
of driving many dairy concerns out
of business. 1t is his opinion that
despite thefaot that there is a lack Of
natural pasture ground In this sec
tion, and that too little attention Is
given this feature, that butter fat
will never decline 10 former low
levels.
The Kent company has been re-
eeiyiag grains from points in Oregon
and Nevada, corn from the middle
western states and barley from Cal
ifornia. all OF which IL is stated by
members OF the firm could be raised
in this valley. as there Is never a
year but they import the grains used
on the farms.
The breaking of new land and re-
seedingaf old is probably the best
indieationthat the project farmers
are making an endeavor to cut out
some of the importations and add
more cows TO the fast growing popu-
lation in this line

Some time ago the question of Sc
curing money for the maintenance or
repair of the road between Leetyille
and Carson was taken up with Gov
ernor Scrugham, Chief Engineer Bar
den and others, while the legislative
members from this county became
active in securing the cash.
1t was stated at the original hear
ing before the state executive and the
highway engineer that much depend
ed on the appropriation made by the
legislature for this work. That ii
trimmed to the quick there would be
no money available, but if an allow
ance was made that the state would
see that the county received a sum in
proportion to the appropriation. For
a time it was believed that a sum in
the neighborhood of $4,000 could be
set aside, but with the trimmings
that followed and the expansion of
other road plans this sum has been
cut to $4,000, which is now available.
In a talk with Mr.. Borden as TO
how the money can be used and its
availability, he stated:
There is $4,000 now available to
Churchill county for application on
this section of the road. 1t can be
used either by the county commits
sioners as they see fit, or they can
designate the highway department
to take 1t over and use it for repairs
or maintenance. Personally | would
prefer to have the county handle the
money. as it will not build highway
but should be sufficient to put into
good condition the road that is CON
fessedly in very bad condition. re-
gret that this office cannot sign a
check for more money, as the en-
deayoT OF the department is to max ke
good roads, to connect up counties
and give the people the most for
their money, In this case if the
commissioners use the cash for main
tenance it should go a considerable
distance and when the time comes
a real highway can be constructed.

made especially toward the northern

lieYe that this season will see the

that more dairy cattle are being add
ed to the farms, and take it from me,

that have the wealth. The dairy

''It is hard to believe but records

While l cant say that I know the
exact condition of Fallon regarding
the poultry industry, l do know that
as high as thirty carloads of poultry
and poultry products are shipped in
to this section each year, and l be-
lieve that the Failon section can be-
come real factor in supplying US
with that which we import.
II am interested in good roads,
and hope to see the day when a con-
crete strip will reach from Fallon to
Reno. This will give the farmers a
chance to get their products into this
market at less expense and also be
an inducement to settlers in the Fal-
Ion section. There is going to be
some work on the canyon road this
summer, and if | had my way it
would be one of the best highways
in the state.
when the round the state trip is
made the outlook for better times
seems to be in sight. All of the in
dustries of the state are gradually

and agriculture are going ahead
steadily and every section that l
have visited shows the influence of
this class of work. l have every rea-
son to believe that this summer and
fall will show better times for every
one over the whole state. OF course

In a recent talk with J. c. Dur
ham, county commissioner of Washoe
county and head of the Revada Sales
Company, he is optimistic over the
general outlook. His conclusions
come after a statewide survey, he
having recently completed round
the-state trip. In speaking of the
outlook he said:
Nevada looks good to me, espec-
tally the western end. 1t is true that
the cattle interests have had bad
time of it this spring as prices are
somewhat soft, but the sheep men on
the other hand are in the velvet. The
eattlemen who sold to the feeders
made their money early last fall and
received a good price. They have no
complaint; it was the feeders who
were nfpped, but other things seem
to offset this state loss.
ELY at the present time is COM
ing back with a big punch and the
camp will hum with industry this
summer. Virginia City is a big fac
tor in distributing wealth through its
pay rolls, and in fact all the mining
camps are looking up. This is true

contemplated and a remodeling of

FIGURING ON LIGHTS
IN SHECkLER DISTRICT

The people of the Sheckler district
are figuring on bringing in electric
lights for the district. The pole line
and the other equipment is being
considered and if the right prices
can be secured the line will be
reality, 1t is proposed to do most of
the work through community volun-
teers.
The same scheme is in mind in
the Harmon district and it is likely
that both sections of the project will
be electrically lighted within a short
time.
One of the farmers of the Sheokler
district who is running three gas
engines finds that the cost is over
$40 per month. This it is stated,
could be more than cut in half, and
the same condition exists in practic-
ally each of the sections. Between
milking machines, pumps and separ-
ators the application of power is re-
garded as essential to undermining
the farms. 1t is believed that much
can be done to relieve the situation
by community cooperation in power
matters.

Takes Up Plans
Wallace Reception, Z air
and Industrial Show
Under Discussion
By Members

Monday evening at the regular
monthly meeting of the Churchill
Chamber of Commerce a number OF
important matters came up for dis
cussion and action.
Possibly the most important matter
before the chamber and the people
is the reception of Secretary Of Agfi-
culture Wallace. who IS due to arrive
in this city on the 18th instant.
Those named to act on this commit
tee were Messrs. l. IL. Kent, Thomas
Dolf and Il. j. Long. They will see
to arrangements along with other
members of the club. The farmers
and citizens of the Harmon District
If agreeable to the club members will
have a luncheon at the community
house. A special meeting is to be
called shortly to take up the details
of the reception and the adyisability
of extending invitations to state
notables.
The matter Of Churchill County
participating in the Nevada Indus.
trial Exposition and Auto Show.
which is to be held In Reno, June
End to 9Th was discussed. The coun-
ty resources are to have such display
as the mall sum of money available
permits and Cline. Smith and Mig
hels we're named as a committee. The
idea will be to make this a resource
show so far as this county Is con-
eerned.
The coming state fair was dis.
eussed and the secretary was advised
to correspond with Mr. Hardy, OF
Fernley, and take the matter up at
once. 1t is figured that at least
$1,000 aside from the state fund OF
$4,000 win be necessary to make this
an affair of merit, one that will at
tract outside attendance and give
Churchill county its proper position
before the people. As the fair Is
some distance off. more perfect plans
Will be adopted following advise
from Mr. Hardy.
The Good Road Day" seems to be
Ia air, or full of It, as there has been
no definite time set owing 10 the un-
certainty of getting gravel for the
occasion Il is realized that there Is
necessity for betterment of the high
way north from Williams Avenue TO
the freight depot, as it is in a de-
plorable condition and with the vol
unteers who have assigned their time
and muscle To this work there can be
much accomplished while the ladies
of Fallon have volunteered a feed
mat would be worth working for.
A proposition from an outside firm
to come in and see what could be
done toward the erection of a hotel
was received but no action has been
taken. The general admission of all
parties that this is the one crying
need of Fallon was admitted, but
like many other needs il is money
first. and that seems to be the short
article at the moment.
The chamber will be called to-
lether in a special meeting shortly
totake up the entire unfinished bus
mess of Monday evening.
