The power situation in this city
remains unchanged since the last ses
sion of the city council, and while
there are plenty of rumors concern
ing what is to be done no definite
move has been made by Mr. Rich
ardson of the reclamation office or
the citizens who have been insistant
that they have knowledge of the
source of power.
In some instances provisions have
been made to forestall the shutdown
of machinery. 1t is figured by many
that they can go back to the tallow
dip If necessary but that power must
be had TO carry on established bust
ness.
At the ice plant a 20 horsepower
deisel engine is working "a hours
day and 10 giving entire satisfaction
II is stated at the pant that this has
proven a saving over the former costs
of electric operation AT any rate the
big engine keeps right on popping
and ice and refrigeration is going on
as usual. This plapt is ready for any
emergency

stalled. This up-to-date enterprise
realizes that 1t can take no chances
and the installation of safety power
plant guarantees running conditions
throughout the fall and winter
In several instances gas engines
have been ordered and will be in
stalled. Several garages of this city
have their orders in and in case
power goes off they will be equipped
to take care of their business.
water Situation
The city water is one of the grave
concerns as this community depends
on a pumping plant, electrically driY-
en-, to keep the tank and mains filled
with water. Should power be off any
considerable length of time the cis-
tern on the hill will not supply the
wants. For some time there has been
talk of an auxiliary engine for the
water system, but no definite move
has been decided on in this matter
1t has been suggested that one of the
tractors be used, but some of tho
engineers maintain that this would
not fill the bill, owing to lack OF
power. The council and citizens have
| been advised that in case of close
down for any length of time. that fire
losses would not be paid by Insurance
companies, as they base their under
writings on this protection. The Fal-
Ion water system is rated as exeep-
tionally high and consequently the
rates of insurance have been mater
tally cut the past few years. In fact,
Fallon is enjoying one of the lowest
fire insurance rates in this state.

Last Saturday Father Meehan Of
Sparks came to this city and united
in marriage Louis Yierra OF Califor-
mia and Miss Anna York of this city.

Catholic church at 2;30. The couple

Both suffered broken ribs and cuts
and il will be some time before they
will be able 10 be out again. The
many friends OF all of the injured
spent many anxious moments until
they were pronounced out Of danger
People In California
Both Mrs. Eldredge and Mrs. Ern
est Huish were in San Francisco
where telegraphic word was sent to
them. They arrived early MONDAY
morning and we're met at Hazen by
friends who brought them TO this
city.
In the case of Jesse Eldredge the
home coming of his wife was one OF
the saddest that has been chronicied
in this city for many months. Two
young sons survive with the widow
and there are other relatives to whom
the community extends It's sympathy.
Il was only last year that Mr..
Eldfedge finished his home in this
city and was apparently on the road
to the desires that he had wished 10
fulfill His activities in all public
movements have made him one Of
the most worthy of Fallon's citizens
and his death is "a blow to everyone
in this community.
Ills partnership with his brother
in-law, Phil Hursh, has resulted n
establishing one OF the most credit
able merchandising businesses in
this city He has been a fine citizen
and good husband and there has
never been any movement OF note
but that he has taken an active par
in making il success.
Many View the Wreck
The news of the accident was soon
noised about Sunday morning which
resulted in many auto parties going
10 the scene and viewing the wreck.
The accident happened SO quick thai
Mr.. Hursh is unable to clearly ex
plain it and the short time that Mr
Eldredge lived threw little light on
the subject. It is conceded that the
big car was travelling al high speed
and this undoubtedly was the cause
of one of the most unfortunate acct
dents that has taken place here in
many months.
Jesse Penelton Eldredge was na
tive of Oregon where he was born
April S. 1881, being 40 years, 4
months and 8 days of age at the
time OF his death. He has been 4
resident OF this city for the past Il
years. coming here from Oregon

CHICKEN HUNTING PARTIES
SCOUR THE MOUNTAINS

Any time after last Thursday the
men folks and few of the other
gender left this city and section for
the short timber belt anywhere from
100 to 800 miles away in the quest
of sagehen commonly called chick
en-"
Indifferent luck is reported with
very few bag limits and lot of
empty ones. The birds, contrary to
chicken habits, were off their usual
haunts. 1t was the general belief
that the few springs flowing this
year would make easy shoots, but
from all accounts the chickens have
read the Volstead act and drinks
are off their menu.
One of the hunters, who returned
with two birds, stated that he drove
200 miles, walked another 100. lost
two nights sleep, slept cold, blew out
a perfectly good tire, put knock in
his engine, sprung a leak in the oil
inc and will have to take a week
off 10 get back to his former form.
A few chicken dinners are being
arranged and it is whispered that in
many instances the family pot will
be augmented by the Plymouth Rock
hen who has recently quit laying.
Like the fellow who found the salt l.!
his bread we like it that way.

MAKING GOOD RECOVERY

Mrs. Lester Page and Ernest
Hursh, who were so badly injured In
the auto accident late Saturday night,
are both making good recovery.
Neither suffered any severe broken

Parties from Hazen who came to

BOY Is INJURED

A youth Fred Parrish. while
playing at the gravel pit q few days

his head. Al the time It was not
considered that he was seriously In
jured.
During the past few days he has
not been as well and a physician has
been in attendance The injured boy
is being given the best of attention
and there is every reason to expect
his recovery.

The recent meeting of the farm
bureau camp in Reno, at which 257
boys and girls attended from every
corner of the state. proved the great
est farm bureau meeting so far held
in this state and resulted in address
es by a lot of prominent Neyadans
who see more to farming and agri-
culture than in any other state re-
source.
Possibly the best shoulder punch
that was gieyn, and one that should
have more room and state publicity
than any other recorded at the ses-
sion. WAS delivered by J. NJ. Fulton
Of the Southern Pacific Company and
one of the foremost Nevada boosters
in this state There is never an op
portunity to say things straight but
that Mr.. Fulton delivers the goods.
While he stressed the good of the
assembling of the little men and wo-
men Of Nevada to take up and carry
on. yet his talk on the neglected op-
portunities and the lack of state CO.
operation deserves more than pass
ing mention.
Cites Instances
In his talk Mr.. Fulton cited the
following outstanding instances
where Nevada cheats herself:
THE farmers of Utah and Cali
fornia are not left helpless and on
their own resources TO find a market.
The chambers of commerce of Cali
fornia and Utah make the farmers
prosperity one Of their prime OBJ
iects"
In California and Utah the com
mercial organizations see to 1t that
a market is provided for that which
is produced. Utah with the help of
capital has 33 canneries, 25 cream
cries, three condensed milk factories.
On the west. California has 100 can
ueries, 134 flour mills. 152 cream
cries, eight condensed milk plants.
All Of these plants stand ready to
buy from the produeer-eream sugar
beets, wheat, peas, string beans, to-
matoes, corn and fruits of every kind.
The cooperation of commercial or
ganizations with producers in these
two states results In the property of
the farmers who come into Salt Lake
City. Ogden, Logan. Provo and other
Utah towns, as well as those I'm Cali

tables, berries or fruit.
Market Uncertain
We believe Nevada can produce
better celery than Walnut Grove,
California; Mineral. Humboldt and
Churchill counties have proven It,.
We believe Nevada can produce
chickens and eggs equal to Petaluma
We believe at many points between
Wells and Verdi Nevada can produce
as good grapes as any country This
has been proven in Lassen county,
California, practically a similar eli-
mate Nevada can produce abundant
ly of grains. sugar beets, tomatoes,
asparagus. celery. onions. cabbage,
head lettuce, string beans and peas,
many thousand carloads OF which
pass through Nevada annually to
eastern markets However. our farm
