LABOR BOARD
CHIEF is RABID
PART IT'S A y

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 22.-Re-
gardless of political beliefs, trade
unionisls in this state are denounc-
ing the unfaifness of Ben w. Hoop
er, chairman of the railroad labor
board and former governor Of
Tennessee.
During the recent campaign
Hooper left his post in Chicago
as mediator between railroad
managers and employees, to stump
this state for the national admins
tration and to denounce railroad
employees.
Instead of assuming a judicial
attitude and protecting the office
of chairman Of the railroad labor
board, which he happens to hold,
Hooper violated the first rules of
common fairness and deceney by
putting the office into partisan
politics.
He justified charges by the rail
road brotherhoods that the board is
prejudiced. These workers have
refused to appear before Hooper,
who has secured an injunction from
Federal Judge Wilkerson COM
handing them to appear.
Albert E. Hill, editor of the
Labor Advocate, suggests that Sen

duct in Tennessee a matter to be

A SAD DEATH IN FALLoN

A death that was unusually sad
and one which has brought out sym
pathy from friends occurred Satur-
day when Mrs. James A. Faust pass
ed away at the local hospital. Mrs.
Faust came to Fallon some weeks
ago from Tonopah, where she had
been visiting with her brother John
Franks, expecting to spend some time
as the home guest of George Franks
of the Churchill County Bank. She
was taken Ill and for a time every
belief was extended that she would
recover. Late last week a turn for
the worse took place and her husband
was sent for arriving before she
passed away.
Mrs. Faust was a native of this
state, being born in Phoebe, Nevada,
January 81. 1895. The body was
shipped to the birth town where in
terment was held. She leaves a hus.
band and enc daughter two and a
half years of age, while a mother,
four brothers and a sister survive.
She has been making her home at
Delta, Utah, where her husband Ia in
business.
The people of Fallon extend their
sympathy to Mr.. and Mrs. Franks
who had planned a very enjoyable
summer with Mrs. Faust.

DEATH OF MRS, JARvIE

On May 81, 1924, Mrs. Elmira
Jarvie. we'll known lady of this
city, passed away at the Miller hos
pital. While she has been ailing for
several years her death comes as a
shock to the circle of friends that
has been made during the number Of
years that she and her husband have
resided on this project.
Mrs. Jarvie was a native of Fin
land, where she was born 81 years
and s months ago. She came to Am
erica early in life and after marriage
moved with her husband to this city.
Mr.. Jarvie has been employed in the
reclamation service for a number of
years.
The remains were shipped Monday

where they will rest in the family
plot. No children survive and the
husband has the sympathy OF the
community.

FALLON WINS FIRST GAME
OF SEASON FROM RENO

Sunday afternoon at the high
school ball park good crowd of
baseball fans witnessed the first
game of the season and some excel
lent ball was played. It being the
first get together of the local team
the results were most nppreciable, as
the home boys gave Reno a good
trouncing and has toned them up for
any games that can be arranged for
the future.
The score stood at 10 to l at the
end of the ninth inning and the home
team playing better ball at the close
than at the opening. The Reno boys
were credited with 10 errors to two
on the part of the Fallon team, MAX
ing a good showing for the first OF
the season, The Fallon lineup was

NEW INCORPORATION
WILL FINISH OIL WELL

Last Thursday the Last Chance
Oil & Gas Company perfected its or
Ganization and takes over the Cal
neya hole together with the drilling
rig that is mounted This came about
after the abandonment by the Cal
neva company, as many have faith in
the section and believe that with
depth that an oil well will be
brought in.
The organization is financed by
the people of this section, as so local
people have subscribed $40 per
month, assuring sufficient money to
carry the hole down to the depth
where the Fallon Oil & Gas outfit
had the best showing that this valley
has known.
The officers elected last week for
the new company are c. M. Way,
president; G. r. Forbes, secretary
Judge I. A. Jones, treasurer; DR..
Lowman, DR.. w. G. Hoffman, George
Wilbur and F. H. Bowman together
with the first three named comprise
the board of directors. c. B. Murray
will continue to act as driller.
The company takes over the Cal
neya lease together with $50 acres,
which gives plenty of territory ia
case the developments come up to
expectations.
Work was resumed on the hole
Memorial Day, as the rig was on the
ground, the pipe which was pulled
some time ago is being put into place
and active drilling is now under way
The financing of this enterprise
shows the faith of the home people
in the Fallon oil field where there
are many indications that oil should
be developed.
The new company is incorporated
with 100000 shares at par value
of 10 cents per share and with the
voluntary work and the drilleTs TAX
ing an interest in the company 1t can
be stated that this well, which Will
undoubtedly test the east side of the
valley. will be sunk at the lowest
cost ever undertaken In Nevada.

CATTLE SITUATION SERIOUS
IN NORTHERN SECTION

L. e. Cline, who made q trip into
the range section north of Reno, has
returned to this city. His mission
was to look over the feed situation
in the Sierra valley section and other
points north of Reno, as application
for the Importation of cattle into
this valley has been made and there
iG some objection to such a course
being allowed.
In the case of Phillip EIDE, who
took a lease on the lower Dudley
farm and range IA miles east of this
city. considerable money had changed
hands. as hay had been bought and
pasture leases made. The decision OF
the county commissioners and health
board to exclude any California cat
tie upset the plans of Mr.. EIDE, and
unless he has some relief his ESQ
head of cattle will undoubtedly
starve to death.
Mr.. Cline states that the section is
almost devoid of green feed, that
where creeks flowed year ago they
are dry and that there is but one hay

are in bad condition and undoubtedly
many are doomed.
He is talking over the situation
with parties in this valley, and Il OF
the personal belief that the cattle OF
that section are not in as much dang
er of infection as those In this val
ley. He considers IL a matter that
needs careful consideration and one
that will have to be considered from
every angle.
He has made a number of trips
into this section and usually II Is one
of the most prosperous range sec
tions of the north. This year. he be-
lieves, will spell disaster to a number
of the farmers and stock men who
have no place to turn, as II is i'm
possible to furnish feed let alone cut
hay in that section this summer
The EIDE cattle are stationed at
Chilcoot. some 40 miles north of
Reno.

REPRESENTING OTHER PARTIES

The recent report of a hearing oi
the Spanish Springs storage matter
in Washington, in which 1t was stat.
ed that True Veneill was represent.
ing the Newlands project, as pub
lished in the Reno Journal, is en-
tirely misleading. Mr. Vencill is rep
resenting other parties, as the New
lands project has no representation
at any recent hearings. Inquiry of
the water board members shows that
If Mr.. Vencill is in Washington In
any interests whatever they are his
own or some one else, as he has no
authority from the present water
board to lay down any facts, figures,
complaints or suggestions
Mr.. Vencill is probably east at his
own volition, as otherwise his name
would not have appeared as a rep
resentatiye of the Newlands project.

Quarantine Holds
: Through County
Situation Seems Better
In California; State
Moves Stations

The situation regardink the fooi
and mouth disease in California has
been encouraging the past week. In
feetions reported by the California
authorities have been confined to the
southern California section with nc
new outbreaks in the northern part
of the state
While the different states are en-
forcing quarantines and additional
sections are taking precautions, a
few sections in California have been
released. Special care should be
maintained for the next thirty days.
is the advice from headquarters, as
auto traffic has multiplied and there
has been considerable travel from
the known infected sections.
All roads leading into Nevada are
closely guarded. The state has taken
up the matter with the border line
California counties and such sections
as Mono and Alpine are cooperating
with Nevada ard sharing expenses.
Quarantine men have been moved
closed to the line in Alpine and Mono
counties while Inyo county has every
road leading into that section we'll
guarded.
The Douglas county authorities
are cooperating with Alpine off
cials and two new stations have been
put into operation this past week,
one at the head of the east fork of
the Carson river and the other near
Hope Valley.
Houck Too Lenient
Both Arizona and Nevada figure
that DR.. Houck, the federal director
in California, is far too lenient in his
regulations. He has advised that
autoists are not O menace and ad-
vises less rigidity In enforcement OF
county regulations. Arizona still
maintains the closest lines and there
has been no laxity on the part OF
Nevada, despite any advise Of the DR.
Houck. That California still has fear
of the disease is shown by the send
ing in of more veterinarians who
viii arrive from the east during tbs
fore part of this month.
Locally the same regulations are
being enforced and all California
cars are subject to inspection and fu
migation unless they have clearanc,
and there will be no importation o
livestock of any nature into thi
yGlley.
Several new cases have been re
ported of foot and mouth disease il
southern California. Four cases wer,
reported by the end of the week com
prising 200 head of cattle, five hogl
and several goats. No new case;
were reported since Saturday by the
federal bureau.

Plan to Celebrate
Fourth of July
Committee Named to
Seek Funds; Meeting
Wednesday Eve.

The public meeting held Monday
evening to gather the expression of
the townspeople relative to holding
q Fourth of July celebration brought
out fair representative number of
people. After some discussion Edgar
Maupin was elected as chairman and
Bryan Laveaga as secretary, with J
B. Crane, Capt. Clarke, Harry Yetter
and Ira Kent as a committee to see
what could be done IN the securing
of funds.
There was considerable discussion
as to the period of celebration, some
going SO far as to suggest three days,
while others believed that two would
be sufficient and several stuck to the
one day celebration. 1t was pointed
out that it being in the height of the
haying season that three days took
too much attention from the farms.
while one day celebration could be
popularized. 1t seems from the gen
eral sentiment that there will be a
one day celebration.
The committe out looking for
funds will report on Wednesday
night when all interested are asked
to be present. II the celebration is to
be made success there will have to
be lot of hurry up work done, and
Wednesday evening will decide on
the campaign.
1t is the general belief that such
celebration will draw from the near
by sections and it will be a state
affair as quarantine regulations will
prevent outside attractions.

U. s. MAIL POUCH
STOLEN AT HAZEN

Post office inspectors and railroad
detectives are conducting an investi-
cation following the theft of a mail
pouch from a truck at the Hazen
depot, May 2s, 1t became known this
week. The mail pouch was trans
ferred from Southern Pacific train
No. to the truck and the theft was
discovered a few minutes later. The
pouch was consigned from coast
points and Reno post office officials
are not familiar with its contents.
1t is understood that the officers
engaged in the invootigation have
obtained clues which may result in
an arrest within the next few hours.

debts, reclamation land experts, and
people agree with him, but 1t Is ac
tion they are after and not promises
We are long ON promises out this
way He favors the McNally bill
which provides that all future recla.
nation projects be examined from
the departments Of agriculture, com
merce and interior before they are
approved, all of which brings the
Spanish Springs unit under fire
again. 1t is the general belief that il
any such mmission makes an OK
animation and also comes to this
unit. where the water rights are an
unknown quantity, that 1T will be
some years before any real construc-
tion begins on new unit, be 1t at
Spanish Springs or elsewhere.
Entertaining Notables
During the long period of build
ing, debt making, failures and sue
cesses that have been witnessed on
this project, many notablcs have cast
a casual glance at this valley, It's
people and the possibilities. Let one
of the men come in tomorrow and he
will never get down to earth with
the farmers. On the contrary he will
be taken care of first in Reno, then
possibly at Carson, finally at Fallon,
either at the reclamation office or
with someone of official capacity.
This Is not a new story, but an ex-
ceedingly old one. Department heads,
senators. reclamation officials. engi-
neers, experts and land commission
ers have each In turn visited the
Newlands project as the guests of
some one at the head of the local bu-
reau. They went away about as much
advised as to the conditions that
exist as the farmer would be of the
Einstein theory.
If DR.. Mead and others are really
truly interested in the future of this
or any other project in distress then
let them send In some one en- the
quiet, cut out the brass bands. Let
such man take In this whole valley
form stem to stern. Don't take q
week OF a month, but several months,
through the season. Let him visit
the proposed reservoir sites for the
relief of Fernley and the bench, let
him realize that there is no water
right established to Uncle Sans nine
million dollar pond; let him find out
what becomes of the o. & M. and
other charges. and look into the cleo
trio situation. Keep him away from
the governor, the Reno chamber of
commerce, John Richardson and the
prominent farmers of this valley who
have a knife TO grind Send in such
man for down right thorough in
vestigation. one who can be trusted
and not bought, who don't care n
damn about a political Job or who It
hurts to tell the truth, and then Will
DR.. Mead and all of the men at the
head of the bureau learn just what
Ia wrong with this and other projects.
We are all of the belief that Dr.
Mead is on the right track and that
there is hope for all of the projects,
especially this one. Let 1t be properly
managed, cut down the excessive
costs, readminister 1t, throw over the
waste timber and get down to brass
tacks, such as any good business
man uses. and this project will go
ahead. Like DR. Mead we are of the
opinion that there is way out for
this project. but not under the old
plan. 1t has proven a failure.

with Governor Richardson of Cali

done toward tapping Lake Tahoe for
this seasons relief.

sons relief. If this can be gained Il
will save the bench section, which
otherwise is threatened with drouth.

ing permission to take water from

to the bench sections, met with q re-
scsal on the part CT tho property
