DENY SCHOOL PETITION


For some time there has been an
effort made by the people of the
Beach district to establish a school
it being contended that the drive was
too long to Fallon and that often
during winter weather that it was
necessary to keep the little folks at
home. A petition was circulated
among the people of the district and
while it was not unanimous. as some
of the larger taxpayers refused 70
sign, yet it was literally subscribed
to.
This petition was presented to the
board of county commissioners and
was thoroughly discussed from every
angle, in fact the matter went over
from Friday afternoon until satur-
day night. as It was a close question
on convenience and economy. At the
session held Saturday evening It was
decided to maintain the bus service
and the commissioners declined to
open the school as provided for in
the petition.

OIL BOOM ON
NEAR TONOPAH
CoIedale Scene of Rx-
tensiye Filings; New
Field Operating

George Edison Porter, who has
spent the past week in and near Ton
opah, has returned to this city He
states that there IS a real oil boom
on in Tonopah and IS the custom OF
the boomers out south they are NAL
ing a real boom of the conditions.
The recent filings on land near
Coledale has resulted in locating
practically the entire Columbus
marsh sections and the laying out Of
townsite. The townsite is at the
old Coledate station where surveys
have been made and a town lot cam
raign is on with many sales and
number of tent houses now on the
ground.
Not content with the Coledale or
Columbus marsh boom, another set
of filings have been made near Crow
Springs. which was formerly one of
the stage stations leading into Tono-
pah. The entire section has been filed
en- and a number OF interpretations
have been perfected. Town lots viii
go onto the market at Corw Springs.
so 1t is stated.
At the Coledale section one rig is
Up and drilling and when Mr. Porter
left the drill and casing was down
past the 300-foot mark It IS under
stood that the first well is financed,
even the promoters furnishing part
Of the cash. Other companies expect
to be operating in the near future.
A number of Fallon people are
interested in the new field as filings
were made on ground several weeks
ago, they have learned of the boom
that is now on in the section.
For a number of years Coledale
has been on the map owing to the
prospects for coal at this point From
time to time it has been announced
that coal of commercial quality has
been uncovered and while some was
marketed there has not as yet devel
oped a real coal mine in the district
A number of interested Fallon oil
men expect to leave this week for the
new holdings and it is possible that
one or more rigs from this valley will
be moved to the new field.

FALLON CREAM
SOUGHT ON COAST
High Cost of Produc-
ton Sends Agents
to the Project

With the East Bay Creamery, the
Mutual Creamery and the Oakdale
all bidding IN this section for cream.
and with the Reno plants asking for
cream, the demand exceeds the sup
ply. For the past year or more the
Rewlands project has been the CEN
ter of attraction by creamery people,
and while the Mutual Creamery has
established an enviable record for its
products and paid out many a dollar
to the local people, the field was SO
attractive that others have come IN
Tor a share OF the dairy returns.
It has been explained that there
is a shortage Of dairy products, es-
pecially cream on the coast, as high
eest Of production has driven many
of the dairy people out of business.
Price of land has increased to a point
where it absorbs the profits from
dairylng and population has increas-
ed to a point where the demand for
dairy products takes up the daily
supply.
This is all benefit to those who
have been gradually increasing dairy
holdings in this section. The Kent
farm, the Chester farm, Miss Jane
Sunderland Long, Hartman and
others are steadily increasing cows
and in most instances milking ma
chimes have been added as regular
equipment
Recently George Chester ordered
one of the largest DeLaval milking
machines that is manufactured by
this concern. This farm which has
been devoted largely to cattle win
be given over to dairy interests. The
equipment as contemplated at the
farm will be among the most modern
on the project.
Recently the annual test of milk
cows over the project has been com
pleted with most satisfactory results
and it is probable that it will be ex-
tended into another year With the
natural and imported increase in
dairy COWS Churchill county will by
another year be among the foremost
IN the business on the coast.
Constant inquiry is being received
1T the farm bureau and agricultural
headquarters relative 20 possibilities
Of establishment of daries in this
county. Under the strict quarantine
and test rules that are enforced here
only clean cattle can come in, which
assures this project a future as the
basis for much of the best stock that
will supply the west in the near fu-
tufe.
The fact that the cream stations
ever the coast are here taking up
every ounce of cream that is produc-
ed IS the best indication of the results
Of the enterprise on the project.

ATTRACTIVE PACKING

Recently some attractive packing
and boxing of Lahontan apples has
been noted. II. +. Bnerer is sending
out under his own label "Lahontan
Valley Apples" properly selected,
boxed and labeled.
The trouble with much of the ex-
port from this valley of excellent
fruit and produce has been the Lack
Of grading and proper packing The
example set by Mr.. Buerer can be fol-
lowed in many instances and help

SELL WE'LL
IN EASTERN MARKET

A telegram received at the farm
bureau yesterday states that the last
of the shipments of cantaloupes from
this district brought good prices n
Pittsburg, New York and Chicago.
The eastern market paid $3.50 per
large crate and 81 so for flats. c. G
swingle, who received the telegram
stated that this should net the grow
ers a good price and that it would
prove the best season that the melon
farmers have had.
tt is expected that returns on mel
ons from the commission men will
be made shortly which will mean
the distribution of considerable
sum of money throughout the pro
ject. On the Bench the settlements
have come in earlier as they were
shipping ten days ahead of the lower
end of the valley. The same is true
of the Fernley section. The results
of the season have been most en-
oouraging and win mean an enlarge
ment of acreage another season.
Considering the adverse weather
conditions Of the early spring the
conditions have been above expeeta-
tions. All of the commission men
operating in this valley will return
another year.
W. I. Chamberlain, who took a
car load Of melons, the last to leave
the project to San Francisco, has
returned to this city and states that
he received a profit price for his
shipment, in fact his melons sold
higher than any in the market at the
time.

contract, and the Churchill commits
sioners feel that this matter should
be definitely settled before they act
further.
In recent communication with Mr..
Borden Ii is stated that while Lander
county has not fully provided for the
funds that portion has been made
available and that it will be neces-
sary for some resurvey over Sec
ton of the route. He feels confident
that this will all be Strengthened out
within short time and urges Chur-
chill to be prepared to take adyan-
tage of the federal and state funds,
also the Lincoln highway funds.
which under present circumstances
may be withdrawn.
In the meantime many Of the
heavy taxpayers are urging this high
way building as a necessity to open
up avenues to trade. The scheme has
been approved by practically all the
merchants and the commissioners
are making sure of their ground be-
fore they put their stamp of approx
al on bond issue for highway work.
II is now figured that in order to
put this section in a position of ad-
vantage on freight and touring bust
ness that the road east must be COM
pleted. II is likely that Mr.. Borden
and other members of the highway
department will be in this city short
ly and hold a special session with
the commissioners In order to see
what can be done relative to right
of way prices and possible changes
in tie route to save additional ex-
pense to the state and county. Mr..
Borden has agreed to meet with the
commissioners at any appointed time,
while number of heavy taxpayers
are urging a settlement that the con-
tracts may be let this fall.

PROJECT HAS
Big TURKEY CROP
Market Conditions to
be Investigated by
County Agent

A survey of the turkey breeding
and birds available for Thanksgiving
is being made and the matter is to be
taken up direct with the commission
men of San Francisco by AL Reed or
his trip to the coast during Legion
week.
The survey so far has developed
that there are more turkeys avail
able for Thanksgiving than last sea-
son. 1t is stated that approximately
40 per cent of the birds will be mar
ketable by Thanksgiving and it IS
anticipated that good price will pre-
vail on the coast markets, as it is
stated that California is shy on avail
able birds.
Last season about 150,000 pounds
CT birds left the project for outside
markets, the coast absorbing most of
the birds. This season the net weight
will run well past 100000 pounds Of
turkeys, as they are averaging larger
in size and more attention has been
paid to the control of disease.
Some losses were reported early
in the season, but as a class the pro-
jeet has reared the heaviest crop of
birds SO far offered on the market
What started in a small way on
turkey raising has developed into
one of the substantial business YER
lures ON this project. The Fallon
turkey has become famed over the
coast, and in many instances some of
the largest hotels on the coast are
being supplied in preference to Cali
fornia reared birds.
The problem of chance has been
pretty we'll eliminated in this section
as most of the turkey farmers are
now rearing on scientific methods
Diseases that formerly made it a haz-
ardous crop are now well under con-
troll. and while there was some Loss
as a whole the project has made
high average in this culture.
Small orders for turkeys are now
being filled both in the Nevada mar
ket and California points. From this
time on birds will be available for
export in quantity.
In many instances turkeys have
been reared along with other farm
products and the tendency to raise
grain in quantity for feeding has be
come a part of the program. Corn
this year has done exceptionally well
and is being used extensively for fat
tening the birds for the market.

During a recent visit of Tom d If
of this city to Los Angeles he found
that the movement of the chaneb n
of commerce of the southern city was
still active in regard to the broad
guaging of the railroad from Nina
to Owenyo, the present narrow guage
terminal.
Mr.. Dolf also found that It vas
possible for cattle shipments TO Los
Angeles from southern Nevada TO
be made without rest over. owing
to train connections over the Tono-
pah-Tidewater road with the Santa
Fee. This advantage in shipment not
only saves time to the shippers but
saves money. He is of the belief that
the Southern Pacific will widen the
guage of the road from Nina to the
terminal and when this is done it
will place the Fallon section IN di-
rect communication with Los An
geles and make room for much pre-
duce raised here that is nov held
over owing to long rail distances and
excessive frieghts.
A recent article appearing IN the
Western Nevada Miner, published at
Nina. states:
The Southern Pacific Company re-
Gently sent out to the press a lengthy
statement covering the proprosed i'm
provements and the betterment Of
the lines of that corporation since
the decision of the federal govern
ment TO allow it TO retain control as
a part of its system the Central Pa
oifie. No mention, however, was
made of the proposed broad guaging
of the narrow guage gap in their Los
Angeles gateway between Nina and
owenyo. Calf But, Notwithstanding
this omission, there is every reason
for believing that the completion Of
this project will be among the big
proposed improvements. One of the
reasons for this belief Is based on a
semiofficial statement published in
n Los Angeles paper to the effect
that If the Southern Pacific was al
lowed TO retain the Central Pacific.
one of the first steps would be the
broadguaging of the narrowguage
branch. Another reason is the con-
struction of the Twin Falls-Wells
line by the Union Pacific, making
the broadguaging the narrowguaga
line and giving the Southern Pacific
a standard guage north and south
hsort line into OILS Angeles a matter
of self-preservation.
This situation was more forcibly
pointed out TO rs recently by promi-
nent Nevada railroad official. He
put the matter as follows in regard
to the construction of the Twin Falls-
Wells line by the Union Pacific. He
said. It stands TO reason that the
Union Pacific does not intend 10 stop
at Wells As evidence of this is the
filing by that corporation of a capt

FALLON YOUTH LOSES FORD
TO PROHIBITION OFFICERS

Last Saturday night several mem
bers Of the prohibition squad came
in from Reno and in the course Of
the evening made search of a num-
Der of machines for moorshine.
Complaint has gone forth that too

that a PM flask was found. The

Commissioners Consider
Highway Work Contracts
Rieht-of- Way Regarded Too High;
To Meet With Officials

During the session of the county
commissioners held Friday the ques-
tion of entering a contract with the
state for additional mileage to the
highway came under considerable
discussion. Recently Meesrs. Boohe

department visited this city and con-
ferred with the commissioners on let

matter was taken up.

quirements of the state and govern

tied they decline to definitely set
their approval on the continuance of
the contract east.
Communication with George Bor-
den, state highway engineer, is being
held and it is hoped that this matter
can be Strengthened out so that the
contract can be let this fall. Mr.. Bor-
den explained that It would be pos
aible to let this contract as soon as
the right of way matter is settled
and as the matter has not been in
