If money going to be expended by
outside people this season in probing
the wealth that is under the surface
in the mining fields.
The semi-precious minerals that
abound in Churchill county should be
given more publicity. There is a
growing demand for many of the
minerals that are used commercially,
and several large deposits OF clay,
alum, sulphus barium and other min
erals that enter into every day man
ufacturing are awaiting development.
There is but one way to get them be-
fore the commercial world and that
is to show such people that the de-
posits abound.
The pavilion needs lot of atten-
ton, the race track needs work and
the grand stand is crying from the
wounds that it has received during
the winter. Either the commercial
club should name a date or the men
selected by the governor as a govern
ing board should fix the date, and
make it early enough that this sec
tion can show its wares to better
advantage.

State Fair Arrangements

Date Should be Fixed to Prevent Con

With Elko and Reno both planning
en- a fair and Fallon in line for the
state fair parties interested in max
ing the Churchill county efforts count
for something should get together
and name a date, not that this county
wishes to take anything from the
other sections but in order to make
date certain for the holding if the

1t is conceded by those who have
handled the various county and state
exhibits that they have been held too
late in the fall, mainly as the exhibits
come at time after the first frost,
resulting in only partial exhibits of
the resources of this section.
Much in the way of agricultural
products are not shown those who
visit this section, and in order to
make the fair a success from the
point of view that the state appro-

Government Engineer
Going Over Project

Ferd Bonestedt, one of the govern
ment engineers arrived from Wash
ington, d. c., Monday afternoon and
was the guest of project manager
Richardson. The arrival of Mr.. Bon
stedt was mainly to go over the pro-
posed Spanish Springs reservoir addi-
ton to the Newlands project.
During a recent visit to Denver
Mr.. Richardson held several consul
tations with the engineer and Others
in command of this work. The early
work on the newly acquired rights is
bringing his west.
While this is 3. visit to the project
in general and most especially tC
Spanish Springs and the acquired
territory and other lands and rights
that will have to be taken care OF
the visitor will at the same time go
over the power problems in this val
ley together with other matters that
are incidental to the project as a
whole.
Several days will be spent in this
section and part of the time will be
in Reno where the several rights-of-
way for the ditch lines will have to
be secured. 1t is evident that gov
ernment is not going to lose any time
in pushing its work on the Spanish
Springs plans. With the money now
available considerable preliminary
work can be accomplished this year.

Word has been received by Project
Manager ]. f. Richardson that Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace will
visit this project during April. Unless
plans are upset he will be in Fallon
and go over the project on April 13.
The cabinet member is coming
west to visit three OF the federal
projects and the Newlands is includ-
ed in his program, as to the object of
the secretary's visit Mr.. Richardson
stated;
Il believe that the visit of Mr..
Wallace at this time is primarily to
go over the real agricultural situa-
tlon on this project The government
has a big investment here, one of the
largest In the west, some eight or
nine millions of dollars being eX-
pended in government holdings, and
It is to go over the ground personally
or at elast meet with the people who
have given their time and money to
the development Of Uncle Sans farm
that the man at the head of agrl-
culture is to be here.
Several men of the reclamation
bureau including myself have urged
that the department heads pay us a
viist and see what has been done in
the comparatively short time that
this undertaking has been in the
hands of the settlers and l am con-
vineed that we can show them lot
of real fesults.
another thing that has been urg-
ed from this Office and others who
have the future of the project al
heart is the establishment OF a gov
ernment stock farm on the project.
1t has been realized for some time
that the safest way TO prosperity in
the valley is through the dairy COW,
but many of the project people are
not financially fixed TO invest in pure
bred sires, the one essential that puts
the COW into the money producing
class.
This government breeding farm
is one of the propositions that | be-
lieye is bringing Mr.. Wallace to this
section. Il has been put up TO him
and others that If the porject is to
become a paying institution and one
that will show the way to others,
better cattle must be the plan. Prao-

Secretary of Agriculture
Plans Visit to Project
Cabinet Member Advises Local Office
He Will be Here April IL

tica1ly every official who has gone in
grade cows bring in better checks,
and with this in view we have all
urged that the agricultural depart
ment lend assistance that would be
material. BY the establishing of a
breeding farm where pure bred bulls
could be used by dairymen of this
project it would be but short time
until the results would be felt, and
by the backing of the agricultural
department in this matter those who
who are sticking to their farms
would feel that the department, from
which they have expected something
was endeayoring to make good.
Il do not know the exact plans Of
Mr.. Wallace, as the word received is
not in full DETAIL but it is certainty
that unless plans are upset he will
be here and | have hopes that some
thing OF a substantial nature will
materialize from his visit. That the
real head of the department is taking
a personal interest in this project
and the people is something worthy
of note. We will all get some ideas
from his visit and it seems to me to
be one of the opportunities that the
project has had for real advance
ment."
After talking with Mr. Richardson
the question was taken up with men,
bers of the chamber of commerce.
Plans will be arranged as soon as
definite assurance as to date is avail
able for entertainment OF the cabinet
member. The visit may mean much
to the project and this city. 1t is
realized that should the department
come to the assistance of the agricul-
turists, both in stock breeding and
other advantages, that this approval
by the government will do much to-
ward the merits of this section.
The nationwide advertisement Of
the visit together with what follows
is of significance to the project as a
whole and II will be up to the local
chamber to provide for the enter
tainment OF the visitor. As the next
meeting of the chamber this matter
will be taken up and arrangements
made.

Southern Pacific
Orders New Steel
Falton-Hazen Branch to
Receive Benefit of
improvements

Some time ago the chamber OF
commerce took up the question OF
ballasting the railroad right-of-way
between Fallon and Hazen with oil
cials of the Southern Pacific, J. M.
Fulton in a statement to the chamDe
informed the members that this mat
ter would receive consideration when
possible, as many adjustments had 10
be made following the policy OF eX-
penditures for improvement OF the
main line and local feeders.
Mr.. j. Buckley, the local freight
and passenger agent of the company,
has received word that not only will
ballasting be a part of the improve
ment to the branch line between raj
Ion and Hazen but that heavier rail
is to be added to the track bed.
Orders have been issued by the
head Office to start work as soon as
material can be secured for three
miles of new and heavier rail Which
necessitates reballasting TO carry the
additional load both in trains and
rail 1t is also understood that the
road bed between here and Hazen
will be relaid with heavier steel as
soon as such material can be rounded
up, making practically a summers
work on the line between the two
points.
Other Improvements are under
consideration; one being an electric
ally controlled gate at the crossing
on lower Main street. While no acei-
dent has happened at this intersec-
tion, yet Mr.. Buckley has advised the
head Office that as a safety first pre-
caution this Improvement should be
made. From the general tenor of
the company and its program of rail
improvement this small but import
ant safety device will probably be in
stalled during the summer.
The Southern Pacific at the pres
ent time is making improvements to
the entire system over the state,
much double tracking being taken
care Of and most of the feeder lines
are being put into first class con-
dition.
II is stated by Mr.. Buckley that
freight conditions have been most
favorable from this section during
the winter and spring. From five
to six cars Of hay day are moving
west while cattle shipments have
been pretty regular. Community
shipments of stock have taken over a
number of carloads, while incoming
freight shows that the project is re-
ceiying more than ordinary amounts
of buflding materials

Some of the drawing is worth
more than praise, in fact it shows a
deftness with the pen that needs
cultivation. This boy has been with
out any lessons In drawing and such
talent is entitled to survive. There
is a lot of stuff that is passing for art
in the cartoons that does not com
pare with his work. and with some
instructions Fallon would have a pen

repairing the Gilpin waste-way and
$4,000 is being expended annually on

CUT-oVER WooDLoT FAVORED
Value Increased in After Years by
Taking Out Detective and Un-
desirable Trees.

The owner of a farm woodlot who
is looking to the future as we'll as to
the present will prefer what is known
as IAN improvement cutting" to a less
systematic harvesting Of his timber
crop, forestry specialists declare. They
say that it will pay the farmer to
leave standing a considerable percent
age Of those kinds of trees which he
wants to encourage in his wOOdlot.
These trees will seed the soil and fill
up the gaps left by the cutting.
All logging operations should be
made with the preservation and extern
sion of the stand Of young growth In
mind.
1t is considered a good practice at
the first cutting to remove trees like
the chestnut, aspen, ironwood and
beech, since they are considered less
desirable and satisfactory in New
York woOdlOts.
Stag-headed, batt-injured and heavy
fOliaged, limby trees of every variety
may likewise be disposed Of at the
first cutting.
White pine, white ash, Eastwood
red oak, hard maple, tulip, poplar
and in some cases even hemlock should
be encouraged.
A special warning is given against
making the first cutting too heavy. II
is said TO be better to make this first
cutting most carefully and If desirable
to go over the wOOdlot again in five oil
ten years. If the first cutting is toe
heavy, it may result in a tangle o
brambles which will retard all devel
Opment.

OF SCOUT
CLEANUP DAY

Last Saturday proved to be an ideal
day for the work of the Boy Scouts.
At seven o'clock the sixteen Scouts
had found jobs and were plying them
industriously. Every Scout was on
his honor to really earn his money by
doing faithful work, and from the re-
ports of their employers, there is alb
solutely no question but that in every
case the Scouts earned their twenty
five cents per hour.
Besides the boys joy in earning
money for themselves, three motives
spurred the boys on thru the long day
of ten or eleven hours. First, the
Scouts and their leaders were and are
determined by their program, actions
and accomplishments to win the good
will and support, not only of the par
ents of the boys but of the whole COM
munity. Second, every boy knew that
every cent he earned would make pos
sible more hikes, good eats and a
Summer Camp of a week or two.
| Then there was the secret hope with
every Scout that he might earnthe
most and so win an Eversharp pencil
offered as prize to the high point
| Scout.
At eight o'clock in the evening, all
the Scouts gathered for few mo-
! ments at the home of ScOutmasteI
Boone to check up the results of the
day. 1t was a meeting of great joy
! for success and victory were writer
Enthusiastically in the broad smiles OF
every face. At the call of the rol
each Scout related his experiences
places worked, hours put in and a
mount earned, depOsiting so per cent
of that amount in the Scout treasury
1t was all a triumph. Thru the hear
ty cooperation of you PlentywOOd PEG
pie in giving the boys work, you made
it possible for every boy to have
good report. James Bruce and Ray
mond Gunenther with a record o.
twelve hours work and $500 eacl
were high point Scouts, tying for thu
prize pencil. Marion Mitchell, Gibson
Zeidler and Irwin Marsh with clever
hours work and $2.75 each run close
second. The Troop voted to divide tn
honor between the two high pOin
Scouts and to give each of them
pencil
When all the returns were in, tn
sixteen boys had worked 139 and one
half hours and had earned S34.85 o
an average of more than eight am
one half hours work each and NOR
than S2.15 for each Scout for the day
But this is not all. The Scouts Oh
their work so we'll that many of then
have been asked to do more wor
; later. Also the Troop, as whole to
gether with the Scout leaders, hav
taken the job of cleaning the schoC
premises, the entire returns of whic
; are to go into the Scout treasury b

this will not be all for if there al
