TRANSFERS
DURING PAST WEEK

There has been considerable move
ment in farm property the past sew
eral weeks and several important
land deals are pending. Farmers
and dairymen from outside sections
are looking for a chance to secure
hay lands in this section where water
and feed is abundant.
Hall & Forbes, real estate dealers,
the PAST week negotiated three sales
teat open up more progress and they
have several other deals on hand
On of the most important sales
was that of the A. w. Mathews farm
property of so acres to Francisco
Brothers of Stockton, Calf, who
VIII within a short time bring in a
purebred Jersey herd. This Is re-
barded as one of the excellent farms
and In good condition throughout.
The Francisco Brothers decided to
settle here after a thorough investi-
cation of several other sections.
A close in sale was that of w. A..
Paul to J. d. Austin. Mr.. Austin
tie north of the highway, while Mr.
Faul retains the south 40 and wal
improve that section.
This Is one of the most promising
properties on the west highway and
has been developed to its present
state by Mr.. Paul In the past th"ee
years. A new. modern home, corrais
and outbuildings go with this 40-acre
lice. Mr.. Austin is to take immc-
diste possession.
The transfer of the Steinbreok
Moore property east of this city to
A. r. Gearhart of Janesville, Calf.
was also made. This 80 acres is to
he devoted to dairying and the herd
belonging to Mr.. Gearhart is expect
ed in within a short time, or as soon
as inspection is finished.
The weeks sales and transfers
show the trend of the times and IL is
the general belief that many small
farms will be sold and settled during
the next few months.

Project Manager Richardson
Discusses Power Shortage
Much Depends On Action OF Reno Taking
Over Pumps. Trnckee Canal Could
Help Situation

That there Is hope of saving the
present power situation Is the belief
of John F.. Richardson who In a
short interview yesterday went over
the situation.
In the first place Mr.. Richardson
states that the situation Is serious as
there has been no storm to help and
the decision of the water users asso-
citation and the water board to store
water for irrigation as against power
is also a factor which will have to be
considered, and 1t is his belief that
the action of the water board and
their future decision will have much
to do with the power situation.
Mr.. Richardson stated that the
next few days would undoubtedly
ahve much to do with the future Of
the operations of the plant. At the
present time the Reno people are
negotiating with the reclamation bu-
reau for the rental of the pumping
plant at Tahoe City. This project Is
demanding s25 per day for rental
and did insist on payment for water
charges. 1t is likely that the last
feature Will be cut and should Reno,
the power company and the people
OF Sparks want the pumps to STAY
that they will pay rental for such
service.
This, according to the views Of
Mr.. Richardson. is the critical point
In case water Is pumped for domestic
and sanitary purposes 1t should reach
Derby dam and then through the
canal to Lahontan, as this water is
not for irrigation, according to tho
contract and the expressed under
standing between the riparian own
ers and the parties renting or op-
Grating the pumps.
1t is his contention that with $50
feet of water in the Truckee canal

NEW SILVER-LEAD STRIKE
NEAR CHALK MOUNTAIN

Robinson and Welter, who some
time ago located mining claims n
the Chalk mountain district, have
during the past couple of weeks
opened up what promises to be an
ether shipping property from the sec
ton. The property Is about four miles
east of the Chalk Mountain Silver
Lead Mines Company, where Mr.
Dawes and associates contemplate ex.
tensive mining development this win
ter.
The bringing in of another prop
attract attention to the highly min
eralized zone that has been known
for many years. While the district s
old it has never heretofore been CIV
en- any real systematic development
High grade silver-lead ore has been
extracted from time to time but up
to the time that Mr.. Dawes and his
people took hold there has never
been the work that the district war
ranted.
The samples of silver-lead ore now
on exhibition at the office of the
Goldbasin Mining, Milling & Devel-
opment office are OF high grade na-
ture. running well over 800 in silver
and lead. The find of shipping ore is
of recent date and the owners figure
on either leasing or carrying on a
development plan. The indications
for an extensive body of ore are said
to be most encouraging and the de
yelopment to the north by the Dawes
people with a proposed 500-foot shaft
will undoubtedly place Chalk noun
tain on tho mining map.

Cattle Road
And Outlets
Commissioner Branch
Offers Another Plan
In Solution
Following the controyersy over tle

Following the controversy over the
proposed cattle or stock road leadIn <
In from the south and west to the
cattle corrals and the disposition Of
the matter by the county commits
sioners in the order recinding the
original order to start construction
Fred Branch. short term commission
er, states that 1t Is up to the property
or taxpayers more than the commits
sioners.
In discussing the matter Mr..
Branch again states that he believes
that the expenditure of some IS. 900
for this proposed new road does not
bring about Just compensation on
the matter. but that 1t is his BELIEF
that something more and bigger can
be secured for the money.
Mr.. Branch agrees that The driving
of cattle through the residential Sec
tion of the city is not as 1t should be
and that some better provision should
be made to handle tho situation.
1t is his contention. as 1t is that of
others. that the solution is to move
the cattle shipping yards east Of this
city, down toward the sugar factory.
BY making such a change 1t would
relieve all of the district. As the
matter now stands the proposed road
through from the hospital to the
stock yards does not take care Of tha
movement from the north and east
sides, and there is as much stock
moved from this district as from the
other points.
He Is of the opinion that II county
money is to be expended for cattle
movement purposes that It should be
OF common or general benefit and
by moving the corrals east that It
would allow the transfer Of livestock
to the shipping point without enter
ing the city proper.
Others have advocated this plan
and for a time such move was be-
lieved to be on the point of winning.
Commissioner Branch states that
he is willing to listen to plans and
that his sole idea is that the county
money should be spent for the best
purposes.
he people of this city as class are
asking for some outlet that stops tho
transfer of cattle through the city. It
Is regarded as menace to life and
property and Is most certainly an
Inconvenience any way 1t is put
If the plan as suggested by Com
missioner Branch is the best then II
should be SO regarded. II, on the
other hand, road leading from the
south to the corrals is necessary for
stock movement convenience and pre-.
vents transfer through this city then
1t should be considered and approved
Mr.. Branch is anxious to hear from
the city people on this matter, as
they are the ones most vitality con-
cerned and interested
The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1924-10-01

The citizens OF this county should
within the next few weeks lay ouI
some plan regarding further extern
sion of county roads in and out oil
this county. A definite plan to put
up to the legislature this winter will
have lot more weight than merely
taking what is left over and being
content with that.
II is realized by the people mos.
deeply interested in future auto tray-
ell and tourist trade that something
viii have to be done toward financ-
ing the finishing of the highway east
of this city Already the Victory
highway people are planning to cele.
brate the partial finish of this route
early next summer. With the com
pletion of the Victory highway some
thirty miles to the west of this city II
is safe to say that half of the auto
trade is definitely and permanently
lost to this city and county.
It Is a matter of fact that in order
to attract east and west travel to this
city that the gap between Westgate
and Eastgate will have to be fin
ished. The graveling of the highway
from the end of the five-mile stretch
to and past the Grimes ranch will
have TO be taken care of, ae the trav-
cling public is looking for the route
that comes with the best recommend
ations, and there has been pletny o.
complaint of road conditions east of
Fallon this past summer.
The Renu chamber of commerce is
naturally and rightfully urging the
completion of the highway between
that city and Fallon. BY this time
next year it is safe to state that this
highway viii be completed, giving
approximately 60 miles of graveled
double track highway from here to
the riverside city, and the effort Is
being made to push the highway up
the Truckee to the California line.
This is all water on the wheels of
industry for Reno but not for Fallon,
as there will be more go out than
VIII come in, and this is the business
move of Reno, and good one.
During the legislative session this
winter the Churchill delegation
should see that the federal aid bud
get includes the Lahontan route
toward Carson City. With this ave
nue. practically closed on account of
few miles of the worst road in this
part of the state. the tourist has not
been advised to come this way

city grade schools. The department
al grades of the Oats Bark school
gave an exceptionally good program
in the assembly hall, as follows:

Mr.. Duboff has started classes in
calisthenics, in which dumbbells and
wands are being used.
Miss Wickland will have charge
of the Oats Park school library. The
book cases have been removed from
the room In which they have been
kept and ladies' rest room has been
installed
A modern drinking fountain with
slanting stream has been installed
in the lower hall of the old high. AT
the West End school the drinking
fountain has been lowered so that It
is unnecessary to mount a platform
in order to drink. The playground

that 1t would be possible to furnish
lights and power In an economic
manner and at the same time store
water. Mr.. Richardson stated that
5000 acre feet of water would run
the plant for the next two months,
when he believes the situation VIII
be automatically relieved.
Mr.. Richardson stated that at tho
present moment the situation is critl-
cal and he maintains that 1t is doubt
amount of water necessary to fight
a real fire. On the other hand Mr.
Richardson maintains that there is
now demand being made for water
for stock purposes and many of the
ranchers have sold their pasturage
for stock feeding along with their
hay, and this requires water service
for stock. The fall wheat planting
demands irrigation, and 1t is the con-
tention that while water Is demand
ed for this purpose that 1t should be
put to work making electric energy.
AS whole the situation as sized
up by Mr.. Richardson is in the hands
of the water board and the depart
ment heads. He maintains that with
water through the Truckee canal in
any material quantity will relieve
the situation. and that 1t would not
injure the chances of next years
storage. AS Mayor Roberts, Seantor
Oddie and others of Reno have ap-
pealed to Secretary Work and to
President Coolidge for assistance, he
is OF the opinion that some under
standing will be reached. In fact
Mr. Richardson stated that the re-
suits of the conference in Reno and
the rental of the pumping plant at
Tahoe City will determine the power
question on the Newlands project.

ment that the Lahontan route woull

ed that practically the necessary

that 1t could eventually be applied t6

Naturally Reno is opposing any

THREAT
Delicate Situation Exists Be-
tween Turks and French on
MosuI Frontier

LONDON, Oct. 13.--The Turkish
government is considering the CUES.
ton of general mobilization, accord
ing to a dispatch from CONSTANT
nople this afternoon.
While no explanation was given II
is believed that the delicate situa.
ton between the Turks and French
on the Mosul frontier is responsible
for the Turkish governments &C.
ton. 1T is accepted as a foregone
conclusion that Turkey would not
dare to 60 to war against Great
Britain so the reported government
move is taken merely as a gesture
of defiance.
The Turkish embassy in London
announced that the latest British
note regarding Turkish occupation
is not acceptable to the Angora gov.
eminent.
The Turks contend that the prov.
ince of Hakkiare was never occupied
as the British claim and that the
Turkish troops in that region had
been sent there merely to punish
Assyrian rebels who had attacked
the Turkish governor.

RICE ON TRIAL
ON TARR|NG
CHARGE
MyersviIIe Man to Be Third
to Face Court in Grandon
Girls Case

FREDERICK. Nd, Oct. l3.---
Myersville moved to Frederick again
this morning when States Attorney
William M. Storm called upon
Arthur Rice, Of MyersvilIe, to
defend himself for his participation
in the tarring and feathering of
Dorothy Grandon at Myersville last
July "a.
Rice's case is the third to be
taken up in connection with the
affair.
While no announcement was
made early today, it is expected
the case will be tried before a
jury, unless there is a last minute
change in plans in the defense.
Court convenes later on Monday
than on any other days of the week;
hence the late decision in this
matter.
Both the State and the defense
announced this morning their readi-
ness FOR the legal battle, which is
expected to be as hard fought as
that OF Harry Leatherman, con-
Victed or aiding and abetting in the
affa1r which has stirred this section
with bitter feeling. More than a
score of witnesses will testify at
Rice's hearing, the majority of
whom have been summoned by the
defense.
1t is expected that the tar and
feather case will occupy the atten-
ton OF the court the greater part
OF the week. Rice, together with
TWO brothers and seven others. is
indicted for tarring and feathering,
AIDING and abetting. and rioting'
while ten more are indicted FOR
rioting only.
