Water For Bench Section
Favored By Irrigation Board
Uroe Pump Installation at Lahonton and Pipe
Line For Relief of Morgan Section;
y Would Cost 5O,OO0.OO

irrigation board Is right in asking for
the relief as it is the only possible
way to relieve what | know is the
most critical situation that has faced
the upper end of the project since
1t was started" ~
A Matter of Necessity
The plan as proposed by the water
board is one of necessity. 1t is Tea-
lized by others owning farms in this
valley that the people on the bench
and in and about the Morgan section
are Just as much entitled to water
service as those receiving benefits
from the dam In order to make the
bench safe and protect Fernley and
the Morgan section IL is going to be
necessary to extend the hand of re-
lief and it will have to come from
the entire project, as undoubtedly
the only funds available will have to
be secured through the construction
and maintenance source. The $4,000
acres below the dam that are assured
water in plenty will or should assist
in relieving the parched end of the
district above the dam.
Waiting for Authority
The members of the water board
and the reclamation office are wait
ing on authority to complete plans
for relief. This as stated above will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
but will be of a permanent character,
especially the installation of the
ditch line and pipe line for the Nor
gan section.
There is every reason TO believe
that the authority to carry out the
plan will be granted. as it is a vital
necessity to a portion of the project
that contributes both in taxes and
other funds in proportion to the acre
age farmed
BY the installation of the proposed
relief measures it will place the New
lands project on a basis where prac-
tically none of the homesteaders will
suffer from water shortage and will
be a means of permanently fixing
relief for any such emergency in the
future.
The decision will have to be rem
dered within the next thirty days to
be of any material benefit this sea
son, as the proposed Improvements
must be of substantial nature and
this will take a considerable force
and much work

NOT IN INFECTED DISTRICT

The following self-explanatory let
ter has been received from Enoch
Crews from Seabright, Calf:
Il am receiving letters every day
from Nevada indicating there is an
impression that Santa Cruz poultry
is infected with the foot and mouth
disease. With your kind permission
l would like to correct this error
through columns of the Fallon Stan
dard.
There has not been a case re-
ported nearer than 100 miles of this
locality. There is no cleaner county
in California than Santa Cruz; all
highways are carefully guarded to
avoid contamination by government
deputies, and the national, state and
county officers are cooperating to
stamp out the disease in the San
Francisco bay counties and the re-
ports coming from the infected dis
triets are encouraging.

Embargo Holds
Against Infection
Little Change is Noted
Situation; Utah Bans
g Baby Chicks

The past week has not relieved the
quarantine established by Nevada
against California products coming
from the infected sections where the
foot and mouth disease has hold.
Efforts have been made to lift the
embargo on baby chick shipments
but so far there has been no release
and no importations are being re-
ceived.
The California dispatches while as
saring that the disease Is being ham
died and that 1t is under control, tsill
developes cases that are calling for
strict dispatch of infected animals.
1t was stated in the dispatches that
1t was believed that the disease had
been found near Marysville, Yolo
county, but this hasnot been con-
flrmed. The slaughtering of infected
animals continues on the coast sec
ton in an endeavor to eradicate the
disease.
Word from Utah, where the ban
is on chicks and all animal life, is to
the effect that over one million baby
chicks have been excluded from the
Utah section. The same condition ex-
lists in Idaho and Nevada is still
closed to any such shipments
Endeayors will be made to start
ineubators in this section to relieve
the situation and 1t is possible that
a commercial hatchery will be In
stituted here.
Leaves Farm Lifeless
Those returning from California
state that where the disease has been
found that the farms are lifeless as
far as animal life is concerned Ev-
erything from the birds, cat and dog
have ben destroyed together with
swine and cattle. No chances are be-
ing taken of spreading the disease.
which should 1t eet beyond bound
would ruin the cattle industry of the
coast
Locally the inspection of cattle and
sheep continues and 1t is believed
that with the maintaining of the
quarantine and precautions that there
IS little danger to this valley.
Cream and other products are be-
ing handled locally and no attempt
is being made to ship cans in or out
of California to this state.

 EXPECTED TO DIE
Shot By Romeo, Grocer, Rela- tive Of AK Murder Victims
 Of 1922 Assault

John Harvey, negro, 2 Alley c, was shot and believed to have been mortally wounded by Ernest Romeo Saturday night, the police say, when alleged to have been found in the act of stealing produce from the Romeo grocery store, 231 Twenty-fourth street, south.
 Romeo was not arrested, following n preliminary investigation by city detectives. The negro, at the Hillman hospital, is expected to die before morn ing, one of the two bullets which struck him having inflicted a mortal wound.
 The shooting occurred at Il 80 Sat .urday night but Romeo, who immedi- ately called police to the scene, did not believe he, had hit the negro and it was not until four hours later that Harvey was taken to the hospital.
 Harvey ran to his home where he called physician, who, after dressing his arm, discovered the second wound, and ordered the negro taken to the hospital.
 g According to the story given by the merchant to- H. E. Morris and B. +. Hubbard, detectives, he has been troubl ed recently by the negro's petty tbievery and Saturday night noticing that he fingered at the front of the store where quantities of produce are stored, ran out and demanded that Harvey stoh The negro fled and the shooting resulted.

COUNTY IS AFTER
 BETTER HOSPITAL
Seeks Means To Enlarge And Improve Hillman In Near
 Future

Definite action on the request for im- provements at the Hillman hospital probably will be taken by the board of revenue at its meeting Friday, Lacey Edmundson said Sunday, the commit >tee consisting of himself and T. E. Huey would confer Wednesday with Dr. E. P. Hogan and several other doc tors connected with the hospital on plans for enlargement.
 Members of the board have expressed themselves informally as being in favor of the improvements asked, and said the only question to be settled was that of the best means of raising the $300,000 required. D. E. Ball said when the delegation of doctors appeared before the board that he felt sure the people would be glad to vote a bond issue for that purpose if the actual con- ditions at the hospital and the need for improvements were presented before then.
 We think we can finance the new court house without a bond issue," he said, "and there should not be any great difficulty in arousing public sen- timent in favor of whatever steps may be needed to care for the poor patients who have no where else to go for medi- cal treatment"
 It was pointed out that practically no other method of raising the money was left open, as the tax rate was al- ready almost as large as the law per- mits. The natural increase in county revenue would not be sufficiently great to finance such a project, officials said

TO VOTE
 ON COURT HOUSE.
Majority Said To Favor Leaving Proposition To Jeffer-
 son Citizens

Although members of the board of revenue have not had an opportunity to express themselvse officially, they have indicated that they would approve the resolution of W. B. Copeland to sub nit the proposed court house bond issue to the people when it is brought up at Tuesdays meeting. The resolution is expected to pass by safe majority.
 In submitting it at last Fridays meeting, Copeland said he wished to give the voters an opportunity to ex- press their wishes on the matter before the board proceeds further. The resolu- ton provides that a friendly suit shall be instituted by a taxpayer to test the right of the board to dispose of the old courthouse site. which has been ques- tioned, and that, pending the outcome of this suit, the people shall vote in the May primaries on the question of whether the present site shall be dis posed of and the new building erected on, the site purchased for that purpose.
 It has been pointed out that bond issue will be necessary if the vote is in favor of building on the present site !; otherwise the sale of the present pron- erty is expected to produce an amount sufficiently large to construct the new building without it.
