HOMES FOR
HI
What Water Storage VIII do
in One Section--A Big
Project Planned IN the
Adjoining Valley.

The Journal has obtained from L.
H. Taylor, resident photographer for
the United States government, an in
ter view regarding the extensive work
that is being done here in preparation
for the million dollar reservoirs and
canals that will probably be constructed
in the Truckee river basin next year
Mr.. Taylor said:
There is no absolute certainty that
the PRESENT work will be carried out.
1t all depends upon two things. LIST
whether the value of the land to be
brought under irrigation and cultiva-
ton will justify the expenditure neces-
sary to put the water on 1t. Second.
whether the large owners of private
lands will be willing to put them on
the market in small tracts to actual
settlers at a figure that will insure
them a ready sale.
We are now engaged in surveying a
canal line that will head in the Truckee
river at Floriston aqout the paper mill
which will have for the main diversion
canal a total length of 81 miles. ex-
tending to a point near the old Emma
mine north of Reno, where branches
will take off to command the lands in
Emmon, Prosser, Spanish Springs and
Warm Springs valley.
These valleys, together with a small
area between the Nevada-C California
line have an aggregate area Of $4,000
acres Of splendid agricultural land.
much better than which Is at present
under cultivation in the Reno valley Of
Truckee Meadows. This land Is capa-
BILE of supporting comfortably a family
on every eighty acres. Ultimately.
with the laborers that will be employed
and the industries that will spring up
they will support 10000 people and
Reno, which will be the base of sup
plies will have 100 per cent added to
its population from this source at the
very least, Each of these valleys will
contain a small village and | believe
that Warm Spring valley will contain
a good size town.
In the event of the owners Of the
large land holdings in these valleys
failing 10 agree 10 the conditions that
will be imposed upon them by the
government, the waters Of the Truckee
river. which will be stored in reservoirs
in the Sierra Nevada mountains, will
be taken past these lands and diverted
for the use Of lands in the nelghbor-
hood Of the Carson river sink and they
will be for obtaining water and thus the
future Of Reno and the tributary
country is mainly dependent upon the
business sense Of these few people.

THE SITUATION IN HAWAII
President Roosevelt Writes Letter Asking FOR

Will Bring Documents.

San Francisco, Feb. 1i.-Mall advices
from Honolulu are to the effect that
Senator George r. Carter of the Ha-
waiian legislature has received per-
sonal letter from President Roosevelt,
asking for a statement Of the political
situation in Hawaii. Senator Carter
will leave for Washington February
II, to present the matter in person.
President Roosevelt's request, together
with the report that President Dole's
resignation would be called for, has
caused unusual interest In Honolulu
political circles.
The differences between Judge Gear
Of the First circuit court, and Atty.
Gen Dole as to the methods of pro-
oeeding against transition period prls-
oners' resulted IN a remarkable court
proceeding, during which twelve muir
der indictments were disposed OF in an
hour last Wednesday afternoon, Dole
asked that the cases be continued, as
he claimed that they were dependant
upon the decision in the Osaki Mankichi
case at Washington. Gear refused to
grant a continuance.
There were several bitter courtroom
passages between the attorney general
and the Judge. Gear held that as the
indictments had been brought and the
defendants demanded a trial he could
not postpone, while Dole argued that
as the defendants had been convicted
before, whether the conviction was le-
gal or not, and the question Of legality
OF the conviction was pending In the
United states Supreme Court, contin-
uances should be granted, When Gear
finally refused contlnuances, and or
dered the cases tried Dole withdrew
from the courtroom and refused to take
any part In the cases at ALL
The result was that four acknowl-
edged murderers were brought to trial
with no prosecution, and no evidence
being brought against them, the jury
in each case was instructed to return a
verdict OF not guilty.
The police promptly rearrested the
men as they We're set free, however,
and are holding them under the old
convictions,
