JAMES w. JOHNSON is
NAMED FALLON POSTMASTER

The news of the appointment OF
James w. Johnson as postmaster Of
Fallon was received here last Fri
day. Senator Oddle names Mr.. John
son as postmaster of this city, the
appointment being of temporary
character, awaiting confirmation By
congress, which will confirm the Sc
lection in December.
There is no question as to the
qualifications OF Mr.. Johnson for tn
POSITION, and the fact that he orig
inally received the endorsement OF
the Republican county central COM
mittee only strengthens his position
The fight that followed within the
renks of the local party evidently did
rot shake down the original inten-
tion of the friends of "Jim" to land
him the goods. The appointment un
met the approval of the
followers of the party and the lead
ers or it wouldn't be so.
In the meantime those who have
been in the fight for the position are
wondering Just how it happened az
Jim" nearly took the count early
this spring when the forninst men,
bers slipped one over and did some
naming of delegates and candidates
on their own accord 1t is a great
game if one don't weaken and II Ia
apparent that Jim Johnson and his
supporters never came near the
weakening point.

PROJECT POTATO CROP
PROMISES GOOD RETURNS

The potato crop of the Bahontar
valley should be the means of bring
ing In considerable money to the
farmers this year. A shortage is re
ported over the other Nevada sec
tions that have heretofore been sup
plying California with the tubers. In
and about the Dayton section, which
has been a steady shipper to coast
points, the crop is short. Mason and
Smith valleys will not have the usual
crop and other districts of the state
are in the same condition.
1t is estimated that between 500
and 600 acres of spuds will be har-
vested on the project this year. Dan
Evans, who acted last year as In
spector. states that the potatoes so
far shown are In excellent condition
and he believes that the Lahontan
valley potato this year will be In
good demand.
Last year this valley graded all of
the potatoes shipped and was the
only district that adhered strictly to
the program. This work was in the
hands of Mr.. Evans and while it took
some time To convince the farmers
that II was the best policy. the re-
suits were entirely satisfactory. On
the last visit of Dr. Dinsmore to thu
city he stated that the reputation
made by the Lahontan potato last
he further stated that this was the
one section of this part of the state
that conformed to the letter of the
plan of sending out only Al grade
shipments.
This year. owing to the weevil
embargo, it will be necessary to
screen all exports of potatoes. With
screening, new sacks and grading,
the tubers leaving the project should
bring top market prices on the coast.
For several weeks the local mar
ket has been supplied with home
grown potatoes and they are of ex-
cellent quality. Mr.. Evans is conf
dent that the class of goods that
went out last season will result In
more orders than formerly and that
by the same care this year that the
Lahontan valley will build up trade
that Will stick. 1t is one of the op-
portunities that is offered the local
spud growers that may not again
present itself.

MOTOR TO REMAIN, SAYS
PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

The application of the Southern
Pacific r. r. Company for the dis
continuance OF the motor car service
between this city and Reno and other
by-points has been denied by the pub
lie service commission at Carson.
The rail people eontended that the
motor is not paying proposition and
that the company should not be com
PEELED 10 continue the operation. The
Churchill chamber of commerce and
others interested In local develop
ment protested the movement on the
grounds of public convenience. 1t 10
evident that the commission eonsid
cred convenience and the earning
capacity of other branches of the
road in deciding in favor of Fallon.
This city is probably the best sup
piled with train service of any place
of its size in the state, even main line
stations have no better accommoda-
tions In the way of service. The
Southern Pacific I'm the case of Fal-
Ian has rendered excellent service
and the many suggestions for
changes have never put up any sched-
ule equal to that now in service.
On a number of occasions Mr.. Ful
ton has visited this city to talk over
train service and he has generally
been advised to let well enough alone
as Fallon and this section is entire
ly satisfied with what we have. The
continuance of the motor assures this
city of rail convenience and mail SER
vice that cannot be bettered.

City Lighting and Power
Still Under Consideration
of the Situation Probable
Cause of Opposition to City
Owned Plant

The light and power situation has
seen little change since the meeting
of the city council last week when
the petition was presented which
blocks city investment for lighting
and power.
The local people who depend on
power are still hoping that some
thing may materialize that will re-
lieve the situation and also prevent
them from the additional expense of
private plants for light and power,
the two essentials this fall and win
ter
BY those who advocatde the cree
tion of a plant, city owned, 1t is be-
lieved that the opposition did not
fully understand the situation. 1t
was generally broadcasted that this
would raise taxes. This Is not tax
matter, as the bonds, should they
have been issued, would have been
net from the earnings of the plant.
As the matter now stands when the
light and power goes off the city
stops earning from that resource and
practically all of the city expense
continues. This fact can be borne In
mind and the deeper It sinks the
better.
In the meantime II is agreed that
this city must fiannce a power plant
at the pump house for water pur-
poses. This will cost in the neighbor-
hood of ten thousand dollars any
way II is figured. and all of the ex
penditure goes into pumping water,
while 1t will eost-as much to run the
plant as would a system including
both power for pumping and water
purposes.
1t is generally admitted by the
opponents of the plant that there
will be a shortage of power follow
ing the emptying of the reservoir.
Many held to the belief that there
would be power throughout the sea-
son Figures at the reclamation of
'ice disprove any such calculations,
and unless heavy rains follow within
the next few weeks there will not be
water available to turn the wheels
at the Lahontan plant. One look at
the reservoir should be convincing
aroof of the situation.
Some labored under the belief that
water from Tahoe would reach the
reservoir This water will never get
past the bench If It ever gets there,
and II is agreed that Lake Tahoe
water is not to be disturbed follow
'ng the end of the irrigation season.
In the meantime there is yet talk
of taking over the sugar factory
steam plant for power purposes.

CREAM SHIPMENTS
LEAVING THE PROJECT

The modification of the quarap-
tine on cream can shipments from
this county has resulted in shipments
OF cream going forward to the North
etn California Milk Producers Asso
eIation. This concern is providing
an inspector for cans returned and
received at the plant at their own
expense. Other ereameries that look
ed over the ground have not made
the same class of arrangements and
therefore have not yet been able to
ship
The Mutual Creamery of this city
continues to handle the bulk of the
product and shipments of butter to
Los Angeles go forward.
Many of the cream producers and
most of the Fallon people are of the
belief that the local creamery should
handle practically all of the cream
produced In this section, as IL Is 4
home plant. hires men, pays taxes
and otherwise is one of the main
manufacturing plants of this com
nunlty There is no necessity of i'm
portatiosn of other butter products
which Is noted on the market. and
while the local plant is doing TIL
bulk of the cream business it should
be handling practically every ounce
that is produced in this valley.
During last year, at the height of
the cream production. at least eight
creameries were bidding for the pro
duct. This made good business fos
the dairymen. but 1t was not good
business locally, as this same cream
should have been manufactured here
and the finished butter shipped. l.
would have helped add to the higa
class products possible in this valley
Undoubtedly within n chort time
the ban Will be lifted In other see
tlons of California and this in turn
will open wider field for cream
shipments, which is all detrimental
to home production.
Maid o. Glover" butter, as manu-
featured at the Mutual plant In this
. city, has made an enviable reputa
ton, but with the continuance OF
shipments out of the county IL is not
going to add to the prosperity of the
local plant, which is one of the very
few going concerns within this city

Unfortunately for this project and

eral Electric Company filed a water
filing on this supply and also ac-
quired the major part of the riparian
lands between the reservoir site and
Woodfords, the object being event
ually to construct a reservoir for
power purposes. This acquisition By
corporation is but one of the many
mistakes that the reclamation bu-
reau allowed while this project was
in the course of construction.
The Gardnerville paper states that

rights of the project is timely.
That the Carson valley farmers
also welcome an adjudication of

ing from the Record Courier, pub
lished at Gardnerville:

ers who have small storage projects

The Reno Gazette has the follow

The interior department author

Larry Crehore is IN communication
with the sugar people and 1t is yei
possible that satisfactory deal can
be put through.
Some idea of the amount of water
that will be necessary TO fill the
river beds can be taken from the
recent release of water from Donner
lake. II required four days coaxins
to get it as far as Derby and the
Fernley section had not received
water up to Tuesday The Carson
river is dry from Gardnerville down
stream and very little water is avail
able above that point. Any talk OF
early filling the reservoir Is figuring
on the miraculous, as only some
thing extraordinary would have any
effect ON the rivers or the storage
reservoirs.
In several instances gas engines
have been ordered for plants In this
city. This will probably mean the
abandonment of power, loss to this
city for a number of years. The cut

If not for all winter, Is not a very
inviting situation, as ii will close a
number of plants, will leave Fallon

The city council has shown fair
disposition to all concerned. The
members have stated publicly and
privately that they would follow the
wishes of the people. but as Mayor
Tedford has stated he believes that
the situation is not understood by
the majority of those who signed

The matter of dividing the pumped
