the memorial, and an artistic plan is general
ely approved On Monday afternoon the CO.
lumbar club expressed its approval of the ma
mortal by subscription of S. At the same
time the Disco Club pledged S., preferably
for an artistic monument The subscription
of the Authors Study Club is s10 and the
sentiment OF the club is divided equally be-
tween an artistic and practical memorial. Both
the Ramb1ers and the Portland Avenue His
torical Club have expressed their approval
of the plan and have taken the amount of
their subscription under advisement.
The clubs have been asked to take vote
on the kind of monument which they pre-
fer and to send the result of this to the dis

will not make their contributions conditional
upon the acceptance of any particular plan,
and as yet none of the subscriptions are con-
ditional.

bable nominees of the fusion conventions:

splendid service andsis very popular with
all classes of people. 1t is a foregone
conclusion that he will be the unanimous

ticket will prove tower of strength and
his reelection is assured by a handsome
majority.
IT begins to look as though John Weber
of White Pine County would be the Fus-
ion candidate for State Controller Mr..
Weber is very popular in eastern Nevada
and it is conceded that he will have the
Great East behind him to a man in
the Fusion conventions. Mr.. Weber is
well qualified for the position and is an
Punassuming gentleman that makes
friends with all whom he meets.
1t is said that Judge Mack will become
a permanent resident of Rero and will
not be a candidate for reelection to the
District Judgeship. In this district it is
reported that Attorney General Wood

WATER FOR 100000 ACRES.
That Amount of Land Can Be Reclaimed In
Carson River Valley.

One of the most important agricultural
problems In Western Nevada is the re-
clamation of the Carson river valley.
ert country of the Basin ranges, but the
waters of the Carson river and its tribu-
taries permit of irrigation and save II
from being altogether unproductive
During the spring and early summer
the river is swollen by melting SHOWS on
the Sierra Nevadas, but later in the sea-
son it's volume becomes insignificant and
no extensive reclamation through irriga-
ton is possible at low water stages
Within the last few months, however,
1t has become apparent through investi-
cations made by the division OF hydro
graphy of the United States Geological
Survey under the charge of l.. II. Taylor,
that with the proper conservation Of the
wasted winter and spring flow, by the
construction of storage reservoirs it
would be possible to irrigate not less
than 1900 acres of land now lying arid,
besides materially increasing the reliabil-
ity Of the supply of water for lands al
ready under cultivation.
With this amount of land reclaimed for
farming purposes, 1t is estimated that an
increase in the property values in the
section reclaimed would amount to Sc
veral millions of dollars. The estimated
cost of this storage is less than seven
dollars for each acre which can be ir-
rigated, or about $4,000 for the total
acreage reclaimed.-Reno Gazette.

With her main and fore topsail gone,
several masts splintered, her steering
gear damaged and her logbook de-
stroyed, the stout sailing ship Loeb
Finlas. OF 5000 tons. was towed into
port one night lately and locked al

been for the abnormal appetite OF Ras-
tus. pet Gillian lamb. who finding
the ships log on chair in the cabin
two weeks ago, devoured is leaves and

he could give more circumstantal
narrative OF an adventurous and
stormy voyage, states the New York
Times
"Rastus was a wee bit OF lamb
when we left Tocapillo, Chilli. 1877 days
ago" said Capt. Deans, "but on orr
long trip lambie has grown 10 re-

the animal has eaten nothing but pa

including the first mates best jacket,
buttons and all: fur from the back %

every opportunity. and feathers he has
slyly slipped from my big white par

The Loeb Finlas struck terrific nor
westers soon after leaving Bermuda
and Capt Deans removed his clothing
for the first time in rs days. during
which period he was not able to snatch
more than an hours sleep at any one
time and sometimes got none at all
