Nevada Power Company.

A new company was organized in
Reno Monday night which promises to
be important to Reno and of interest
to all of this part of the State. 1t is
styled the Nevada Power Company,
and has been inaugurated primarily to
control certain water rights near the
canyon east Of town, and from the de-
velopment Of these rights secure the
immense power to be had there for
transmission to the Comstock, to
Reno. or wherever in this vicinity
power may be required. Engineers
Of repute assert that during the dry
season more water flows down Steam
boat Creek than in the Truckee river;
this new location gets the benefit of
both. The distance from the canyon
to the Comstock is only about seven
teen miles, as compared with twenty
eight miles from Floriston.
Eastern capital is behind the new
company. which is capitalized for half
a million. Articles Of Incorporation
will be filed and officers elected in the
very near future. says the Reno Ca
zette.

CLIMATE AND CROPS.

Weathei-Warm days and unusually
cold night. prevailed in all districts
during the last seven days. Light and
unimportan showers occurred on Fri
day in a few localities.
Crops-The weather conditions dur
ing the weeI have been highly favor
able to the growing and maturing crops
and for harvest work in the hay and
grain fields. Reports indicate that a
great deal Of unripe wheat was SO badly
damaged by the frosts Of the previous
week that it will probable be cut for
hay. The second crop Of alfalfa which
is now being cut promises to be unus-
ually light in the majority of a lack of
moisture.
Harvesting is progressing satisfac-
torily in all sections with indications
that all of the hay and grain
will be in the stack before the
middle of the month. Thrashing is in
progress and so far grain is yielding
pretty close to the usual average, and
in a few Instances a little above 1t.
The condition Of the vegetable crops
has been much improved since the re-
turn of warm weather. ii
