BUREAU MEN TO
WASHINGTON
ENT SEVERAL RELIEF MEAS
URES AT CONFERENCE

Monday, l.. L. Cline of the fedora
/ farm bureau and r. u. Headley Of
the government experiment station
left Tor Washington, where they viii
meet in conference with others from
projects over the Union, when ex.
change of ideas, betterment OF con.
ditions and advancement OF farm life
will be discussed.
The Diannual session calls for men
over the various projects and they
with department heads set up the
progress made during the year OF
dates between sessions. AT the same
time the necessity for advancement
is given consideration and recon-
mendations are then made to the
government.
In speaking of the b'allon project
Mr.. Cline stated that while he is but
an agent, and would listen to much
from otner sections, that ne would
when his time came, make some re-
commentators Tor this section.
AS is well known he rides a hobby
COW instead of a horse and he will
urge that the bureau, OF the govern
ment, assist in the establishment OF
pureDred pulls for the project dairy
men. he stated tnat he realized
that 1t was in many instances an ut
ter impossiDility for farmers to Sc
cure pureDred stock, but through the
aof IA IA M ~ 80 H.
voted to the importation and distri-
button of purebred bulls that one of
the big problems would be solved.
His suggestion is that the govern
ment bring in the stock and dispose
of it on long term contracts. That it
would thus be possible to exchange
bulls and keep herds clean, and at
the same time bring up the grade
line over the entire county. He
states that some excellent grade
herds are now milking, and that
within few years the cream product
should be vastly improved. He has
shown by figures that the higher the
grade the longer the check, and it is
with this in view that he will advo-
cate the assistance of the govern
ment in helping her children over
the top.
Mr.. Headley together with Mr.
Cline will take up the water charge
question while in the east. How far
they can go with this important mat
ter to the project water users is not
known but every endeavor will be
made to lay the matter before the
department.
The successes and failures of this
project, together with those of other
governmental settlements, is part of
the program. He predicts that the
Newlands project, despite some of
the set-backs that have been admit
ted will make very creditable show
ing. 1t is along this line that Mr..
Headley will have considerable to
say.

RENO CHAMBER HEADS
SHOW TRUE ATTITUDE
Condemn Lincoln Highway In En-
deavor to Shunt Tourist Trade Over
Victory Path. Fallon Off Their e1Nap

/ When Brewster Adams and Chas.
S. Knight of the Reno Chamber of
Commerce came down here on sew
eral occasions and vamped the peo-
pie, and they put it over a number of
them, it was believed that the sister
city was doing much to promote the
welfare of this community, especial
ly in the matter of highways and the
directing of travel over the roads
leading across the state, and into
Fallon and Reno. Now comes this
same yamp, Mr.. Booster Adams and
tells the San Francisco Chronicle
that to send tourists over the Lin
coin Highway is nothing short of
murder, but to send them over the
Victory route is leading to paradise.
/ Then short time ago Governor
Boyle, as editor of the Journal,
stated that he was for the Victory
highway as against any other route,
yet these men come to Fallon and
tell the people what a wonderful
country they have, how they can en-
large the population and that the
heart of Reno fairly bleeds for the
good people of the reclamation Sec
tion, and a lot of us fell for it, we
were yamped for fair, and it is a
revelation of the hussy city to know
just where her affections lie
The tourist trade is banked on as
as means of ready dollars to the
merchants, garage men and hotel
people during the summer months,
but if Reno has her way every moth
er's son and daughter who drives
across country will be routed north
of here and land in the arms of the
riverside people. If Reno had meant
what her representatives said when
they talked to the people here, they
would have insisted that the routing
be through Fallon and the reclama-
ton district, not north and west and
through Reno.
Something of a tally was kept on
the activity of Reno touring boosters
last year and 1t was found that in
many instances people anxious to
come to Fallon with the idea of set
tlement were advised that the road
was practically impossible. Many
instances of this crude work devel-
oped when the stranger told his
story to the garage man or the hotel
proprietor. They still have this in
mind, despite the assurance of Mr..
Adams ct al, that Reno is stretching
the friendly hand to our people.
Carson has been treated the same
way. Placerville has been forced to
make a fight for a routing over the
summit via the Lincoln Highway,
and that California city has gone so
far as to elicit funds from neighbor-
ing sections to maintain publicity
relative to the shortest route to Cal
ifornia, the Lincoln Highway over
the Carson route.
Between Hazen and the dam, and
short distance the other side, there
is some disgraceful road, road that is
used extensively by the highway de-
partment. This is the only barrier
between Fallon and Carson that
needs immediate attention. The

ing of the ten year extension of the
people; that the power should be
leased, IL leased at all, to the people
of the project and they in turn sell
it at the profit that is made by the
distributing people. 1t is further
contended that there Is a serious
question of water confronting the
project people If more water is stored
at the head of the Carson and along
the Truckee. 1t is further contend
ed that IL land is to be thrown open
to settlers that 1t should be in this
valley and not in new and untested
sections.
They set UP the plea that the mat
ter has been misrepresented and that
the contract as between the power
company and the government has not
met the approval of the majority of
the water users, on the contrary the
matter was taken out of their hands
and passed over their heads. In fact
the men who met last evening, re-
presenting a very substantial element
in the community and farms, have
called for a mass meeting to be held
Saturday afternoon at the Palace
theater where the whole subject mat
ter is to be gone over.
Mass Meeting
In deciding to hold mass meeting
the protestants assure the people
that the subject will be barred to the
bone. They have considerable data
which is to be laid before the people,
and at the same time they are asking

DIED AT Los ANGELES

Friends of E. r. Morton will be

to friends in Fallon tells of the death
of her husband from pneumonia. In
terment was at Los Angeles.
Mr.. Morton will be remembered In
this section and over the western end
of the state. For many years he was
travelling salesman for the Flor City
Woolen Mills. During his many Wis

will regret to know of his passing.

SPANISH SPRINGS CONTRACT DOUBTFUL;
PROTESTANTS CALL MASS Meeting SATURDAY

The Spanish Springs reservoir
threatens to be ripped from its foun-
dations as those who have opposed
the scheme not as reservoir site
and storage project, but on account
of the transfer of the power on a ten
year lease to the Valley Power Com
pany, have lately been advised that
the published contract, which was
submitted to the press by Mr. Rich
ardson, and believed to have been
signed, has not in reality received
the signature of the secretary of the
interior. On the contrary, this con-
tract was a proposal in form as ap-
proved, but not signed by the gov
ernment.
A recent letter received by Mr.. II.
]. Long from a member of the bureau
in Washington states that while the
contract was formed and forwarded
to Fallon for publication and public
distribution, that 1t had not been
signed, but might be signed at any
time. This letter bore the date of
January 2, 1923, which indicates
that the much talked of and suppos-
edly contract is yet hanging In the
air.
PrOtestants Meet
Last evening a number of water
users, men who have been opposing
the granting of the power to the
company, met and took action in the
hope OF holding up this contract un-
til general opinion of the entire
water using community can have
voice. They contend that the grant

Last Friday the board of county
commissioners met and put in long
day of service. All of the county
affairs were gone over with the clerk
and bills scutinized and passed.
The question of selection of ap-
pointiye positions went off without
friction and the county starts the
new year under harmonious admin
istration.
M. Il. Johnson was named as game
warden of Churchill county, which
Office he held while acting as deputy
sheriff. His activity in sports and
as a member of the Greenhead CluD
qualities him for the position.
A number of bids were presented
by those who would represent the

that the proponents be on hand.
They state that they not only invite
the Hazen and Fernley people to be
present but hope they will be present
in numbers, as 1t is their belief that
they are vitally interested in what is
believed to be a question of their
future.
The contract and the Spanish
Springs project will both be dis
cussed from every angle, and if there
is any possibility of holding the sig
nature from the contract it will be
done.
Ask for Hearing
During the day individual tele-
grams were forwarded to the depart
ment asking for a delay in signature
of the contract, while kilograms urg-
ing Senators Pittman and Oddie to
take up the matter were sent. Con-
gresham Arentz was also appealed
to and urged to make personal calls
on the department to hold up the sig
nature pending the meeting of next
Saturday.
If the contract has not been signed
since the letter of the End inst, was
received, there is every possibility
that the Spanish Springs matter will
be held up pending a thorough in
vestigation. 1t is with this in view
that the wateretaoin shrdlu cmfwyp

step and asking for mass meeting

PLACE BECOMES FAMED
FOR ITS GOOD EATS

Among the many tourists coming
from the east and who have stopped
at Sand Springs where Mr.. and Mrs.

marks are made. One outfit, that
had evidently not Jared we'll until
they reached Sand Springs, stated
that it was the best meal they had
found since leaving New Orleans,
and that is going some.
Locally the fame of the Brock

too well known to need this favor

comes to town and takes in more
than half of America as a compara-

the merit that is to be found. to-

Growing from a few hundred cows
last fall to nearly 100 the testing
association of dairies on this project
shows a more healthy condition than
was anticipated. At the present time
rs herds are under test with close
to eleven hundred COWS. II is stated
that a number of the cows are dry at
this season and that by fall several
hundred new cows and heifers will
be in and added to the list.
This is one association that has
met approval of practically every
dairy man on the project and while
some have not Joined many have an

Enlarge Weevil
Guard Lines
Western Nevada and
Eastern California
Add Precautions
Against Bug

The enlargement of the quaran.
tine against weevil is being felt In
other sections as Sierra county, Cal.
has been included in the recent ex
tension of weevil hay restrictions.
Western Nevada, that is Douglas
county, is taking no chances on quar-.
antine and has closed the Jacks Val
ley road between Carson City and
Genoa, thus forcing all traffic via
Cradelbaughs and through to Min
den. An inspector has been placed at
the Clear Creek bridge where all
autos are inspected. This is done to
prevent If possible the spread of the
weevil from the Washoe section to
the Carson Valley alfalfa farms.
Another inspector is set up near
the Alpine county line of California
to prevent the indiscriminate travel
without inspection. 1t is stated other
inspectors will be stationed on tho
highway near the Placerville summit
and others on the Truekee summit
division.
A recent telegram from Sacra-
mento is as follows:
With an additional appropriation
of 10000 made today by the state
board of control, the alfalfa weevil
quarantine patrol forces along the
California-Nevada border will be
augmented, it was announced today
by James Mills, head of the agricul-
tural council.
1t Is planned to place additional
inspectors along the border without
delay as the California hay growers
and the state department of agri-
culture are solidly behind the move
ment to prevent the spread of the
weevil into the upper valley for fear
that it will cover the entire state.
The number of men to be EN-
ployed in inspection work has not
yet been determined but a confer
ence is to be held in the near future
to decide on measures to stamp out
he weevil.
Gov. James G. Scrugham and Cecil
W. Creel, chief of agricultural work
in Nevada, are here to confer with
Gov. Richardson relative to quaran-
tine matters"
