A special meeting OF the water
beard was held Monday to take up
the seriousness of several problems
that confront the water users and
the land owners of this project.
The question of payment for pump
ing both ut Lake Tahoe and Lahon-
tan for this past season together with
ether items that have been submitted
on the coming budget bring debt
against the water users of approxi-
mately 1921, 900. which under the
present status of affairs will neces-
state payment this coming year,
1925. 1t was found that should all
of this debt be thrust on the project
people during the one-year term that
it would approximate an increase of
charge of approximately $1.62 per
acre. The board at once took up
means to gain extensions pending
adjustments and If possible to have
this matter taken up by the govern
ment.
At the meeting of Monday it was
suggested that the board send rep
resentatives to Washington to confer
directly with DR.. Mead and congress
sional representatives that quick ac-
tion might be had IL possible. Sew
eral members were suggested and
they in turn decided that they could
not go as It was not a matter of
payment of expenses but time lost on
their holdings.
1t was suggested that I. II. Kent
be sent as a representative of the
project to take up the matter and
see what could be done. Mr.. Kent al
first declined to listen to the proposi-
ton, as he did not care to devote the
time as he has enough. in his own
business to keep him busy.
After a conference with board
members and others interested In
the matter Mr. Kent agreed to make
| the trip providing that Attorney Ros
| Stoddard was included in the repre-
sentation.

Opens Power Question

The decision of DR.. Mead opens the
question of power for Fallon and
Loyeloek again. Reports from the
weather service state that the pre-
cipitation for the month of Noyem-
ber was below normal and to date
there has been no storm of sufficient
magnitude to warrant continuance
OF power service. At the present time
there is approximately 10000 acre
feet of water behind the dam and
the Truckee canal and the Carson
river have both decreased in flow
during the past ten days owing TO
freezing weather at the headwaters.
It will be noted that the ruling OF
Dr. Mead allows 1000 acre feet per
month up to January /. 1925, and a
provision is made to Increase the
amount of water for power to 1900
feet after that date providing pre-
cipitation warrants such use of water.
In case no extensive moisture falls,
IL is a certainty that the water board
and the water users will make a
strenuous protest against eny water
being drawn from the reservoir for
such purposes.
Reservoir Low
With but 10000 feet of water In
the reservoir. It is at an extremely
low stage. The use of power water
II is figured is not in the interest Of
the project and there is a general
complaint against such usage with
both the Truckee and Carson at a
low stage.
II is anticipated that unless there
is storm of generous proportion
that the review of the situation wib
be taken up by DIR. Mead, ac he haG
stated that irrigation was paramount
10 power on the project.
In fact the conditions and the rul-
ings as they are set up open the ques
tion of municipal owned power. 1t Is
entirely a question of weather condi-
tions foc the next thirty days. as Il
is admitted that up to the present
there has not been adequate storage
for next season on this project

keys. The results SO far secured are
as follows:
During a three-week period ASS
turkeys weighing on an average 11.5 t
pounds each have increased To 13 s
pounds each. During this time 1862
pounds OF feed was eaten, which
when divided among the gain pro-
duced shows that it hastEken so far
asa pounds of grain to produce one
pound of gain in weight. With corn
and wheat fed half and hall and at
prices of $50 per ton for wheat and
$50 per ton for corn, the cost of each
pound of gain during this finishing
period has amounted to 13.4S cents.
During this feeding period these tur-
keys have put on .S5 pounds of gain
each day for every 100 pounds of
live weight, and they have eaten 3.5S
pounds of grain each day for each
100 pounds live weight, and these
figures do not take into account al
falfa eaten. The figures SO far Sc
cured should be of interest To those
who are finishing turkeys for the
rest of the holiday season.
There has been a general impress
sion that the cost of fattening tur
keys is very excessive, equaling al
most the market value received per
pound. The figures so far secured
show a margin of profit over cost of
production, that is not equalled in
the fattening process Of any other
class of meat animal. The above
feeding experiment will be continued
for some time and a more detailed
account will be available

Power Company Wins
By Ruling of DIR. Mead
1000 Acre Feet Until January |, Allowed;
Weather To Rule After That
Date

A decision relative to continuance
of water for power for the operation
OF the Lahontan plant has been re
ceived by Superintendent Richard
son. This is the decision that fol-
lowed the hearing some weeks ago
when the water board and the water
users' association protested contin-
ued use of water from the reservoir
owing to the depleted condition OF
the reservoir and the slack rain OF
moisture period.
The following letter. which has
been forwarded to the Canyon Power
Company at Oakland sets forth the
decision of DIR. Mead In regard to
continuous use of water for power:

Government Should Pay
In discussing the situation all nf
the board members agreed that this
was matter in which the govern
ment should pay and not the people.
1t was shown that the government
had not kept its promise to the bench
people in regard to furnishing them
water and that as a necessity to save
crops and orchards that the water
board voted for the two pumping
plants that are now taxed against
the project.
II Is believed that with congress
meeting and taking up n number Of
such propositions that the conditions
as they exist here can be shown more
clearly to the representatives than
by correspondence and 1t is worth
the chance.

Cream Plant
Waits Approyal

The question of establishing q
cream eondensing plant in this coun-
ty in still hung In air Mr. Risner,
who has been interviewing the bust
ness people, has not met with the
cooperation that seemad warranted
and there is question of the out
come of this proposition.
In Reverse Gear
Since the first day that the Para
mount Cream Company representa-
tives came to this city there has not
been the proper handling of their
proposition. Originally he and Mr..
Volz came to Fallon and this project
to size up the number of cows, the
cream available and the product was
to be shipped to another point. After
going over this valley it was found
that this was the base of supply for
cream and that there was the great
est dairy possibility of the state here.
The conclusion was that Fallon
would be the ideal spot for the first
unit of the plant providing some CO.
operative encouragement was guar
anteed
Instead of the members of the
chamber of commerce and the mer-
chants and big dairy men getting To-
gether and making an investigation
of the merits of the plan, nothing
has been done. No investigation %
the patents as held by the inventor
have been looked up; no inyestiga-
tion of the standing of the company
rkas been undertaken and there has
been no general demand by any com
mittee of business men to locate the
market for the product or the men
who promise to erect a factory here
which is all the wrong way of doing
business. If this patent is all that is
claimed, the people back of it as
good as they sound and the market
together with the price of cream such
as stated, 1t should at least bear
some recommendation from this sec
ton.
Asks Cooperation
Mr.. Risner, who has been inter
viewing the business men of this city,
has found some financial encourage
ment, but not unanimous. The COM
pany, through their agent, is asking
that this community put up one dol
lar to their ten, and this sounds rea-
sonable. 1t is not a difficult matter
TO investigate the company and the
patents, and 1t is admitted that this
community needs Industrial plants,
such as this would furnish.
This community is naturally shy
on taking up industries that call for
financial assistance as experiences
have not been such as would lend
encouragement. but In this case the
company and the representatives
should be given public hearing.
1t has been stated that the COM
pany. is asking cooperative invest-
ment with the people of this section
and the one way to determine the
merits of the company and the future
of SUES a plant should be by a thor
ough investigation of patents, men.
product and markets. 1t is business
proposition from start to finish and
as such should be given the examina-
tion that the representative warrants
and determine II Fallon really wants
an industry that would bring in more
money to the dairy interests, taxes to
the city and county and lend employ
ment to people. If II does not. stand
the acid test, as business proposi
tion. 1t should be turned down. It "a
