Grand Opera House.

Richard Golden in "Old Jed Prouty"
will be the attraction at the Grand
opera house the last three days this
week with matinee Saturday. "Old Jed
Prouty' will always rank among the
great plays of the American stage. 1t
Is known to almost every theatergoer,
as simple tale of honest people; their
everyday life is told in simple Ian
guage. The American public, quick to
recognize the better elements of nature,
whether on the stage or in private life,
take kindly to "Old JEDI even through
all his escapades. They recognize that
| he is the embodiment Of honest rural
simplicity. They like the man and
don't care whether he is dressed in
broadcloth or homespun. so his nature
has something attractive and lovable.
An audience may laugh at the awkward
situations that Mr.. Golden's hero en-
counters, but they never laugh at the
man and there is something in the play,
which for a better term. may be called
heart-interest, which always appeals
strongly to the better nature Of even
the most hardened auditors Seats now
on sale. Regular prices
AT the Grand opera house next Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, April %,
90 and "a, the thrilling story Of Hal
Reid's great play, "Hearts of the Blue
Ridge" will be presented. The story of
this play is a feud similar to the Nc
Coy Hatfield feud of Kentucky, and
depicts in a mastery drama the loves
and hatreds of two families, a social
condition so prevalent in the border
states. The feud is handed down from
father to son, and in many instances
whole families are destroyed by this pc
culiar warfare. But in this play the
families are reunited, which the author
brings about by a beautiful and nat
ural reconciliation. The production is
we'll staged, and the cast includes such
favorites as Charles Coburn, Dorothy
Lewis, Albert Lang and Bertram Yost.

IRRIGATION NOTES.
An Interstate Complication.

bulletln NO. "a.
An interesting complication. which
has arisen in the demand for wa
ter in the west for irrigation purposes.
was noted in a recent reconnaissance
made by the United States Geological
survey in Western Nevada. This
)art of Nevada received very little
ain, and hence Is n dry and unpro-
uctive land. But so wonderful are
he possibilities Of development in
eemlngly dead country by means of
irrigation, as has been illustrated
ime and time again in other sections
of the west. that even this inhospita-
BILE tract could be brought under cult
vation and made suitable to sustain
coed population If developed by irri-
sation. But II seems that the rivers
in Western Nevada all rise on the
eastern slopes of the Sierra Ncvadns
On the California side of the line.
Indeed this boundary seems to have
been originally drawn so as to include
Ill the good land available on the
east up to the border of the interior
desert. Thus California controls the
headwaters of these streams, and with
all the conservatism born Of imaginary
lines. the California settlers are slow
to allow the erection of storage res
ervoirs and irrigating plants which
IRE needed to give the Nevada set
lers the wator they require.
Like everything else. time will fin
ally straighten out this difficulty now
serious enough, and Nevada will get
its water, but the instance as an ex-
ample of the hindrances in the way OF
progress is interesting and suggestive.
