THE GREAT
TRUCKEE CANAL.
WILL MAKE HOMES
FOR A THOUSAND
FARMERS.
Enormous Work Under.
taken by the Govern
ment in Churchill
County.

Churchill county in few years
will be one of the great counties of the
state" said Mr.. William. of the firm
Of Williams Brothers, merchants, ol
Fallon, who was in Reno yesterday
Already there Is an awakening there
and every one Is looking to the next
few years as a period of rapid growth. y
Asked concerning the government ir-
rigation canal Mr.. Williams said.
"The contract let by the government
for the construction of the Truckee riv-
er canal is being pushed rapidly and
will be completed about next Septem-
ber. 1t will convey the waters Of the
Truckee river t. unite with those of
the Carson river at a point about 25
miles above Fsllon.
"At the place where the canal in
tersects the Carson river there is deep
gorge through which the Carson flows
and across which a great dam will be
constructed, which will store the water
Of both streams in an immense reser-
voir, that when full will reach the pro-
portions of lake. From this great
reservoir two canals will lead the
water upon the rich land below Rag
Town and beyond Fallon upon what is
now known as the Indian reserve.
Something like 100000 acres of land
all told can be watered by the two
canals.
'Thls land is extremely fertile and
the climate Is such that it will grow
almost any kind of farm crop. On
other land of like character cultivated
In the neighborhood, from 30 to 45
bushels of wheat per acre can be grown
and alfalfa grows rs luxuriously as 1t
does in the Trnckee meadows where
five tons per acre il the average crop.
1t will take another year after next
l think before the great work will be
so far completed that the land can be
irrigated. The surveys for the lateral
canals are not completed, as surveyors
are still at work in the field. But
what we in Churchill county are glad
to know is that the work as laid out
will be thoroughly done and that with
in two or at most three years, 100000
acres Of our best land will be cultivated.
That will mean at least a thousand
farm families, or from five to eight
thousand people including wives
children and farm help who will be en-
gagged In agriculture. That means of
course an additional population in the
villages and hamlets which are bound
to spring up. 1t will mean much for
Reno, think also, as we draw upon
that city for nearly everything at the
present time and there is no question
but wi hat we will then. ."-Gazette.

ed the sherifrs cabin into q jail, by
having lock put on the door. For
a long time there were no prisoners
but at length man named Sullivan
killed another man in the town. Sui
Ivan waa arrested and ordered com.
mitted for trial. He was an acquain.
tance of the sheriff and the two men
lived there In the sherifrs cabin In
peace and amity. They slept in the
same bunk and the key to the door
hung on . nall inside. They loafed q
round together up town all day and at
night the one who went home first
would take the key. If the sheriff
was In card game-and he generally
was-he would give the key to the
prisoner and tell him to 60 home and
lock himself In. The prisoner made
no attempt to escape, although it will
be seen that he had every opportunity.
At length his trial came on and he was
sentenced to be hanged. The SEN
tence made no change In the habits
Of the sheriff and the prisoner. The
latter continued to be bis ewn jailer
twe-thirds Of the time and enjoyed
life to the utmost while awaiting his
execution q few weeks distant. The
county attorney finally caused trouble,
however. He was young and ambiti-
Gus and complained to the district
Judge. The latter called the sheriff
up and told him to take better care Of
the prisoner. The sheriff returned to
the Jail where he found the prisoner
calmly smoking before the fire.
Throwing his revolver and belt on the
bed the sheriff exclaimed: Tam 60

What's tho matter Jack inquired
Sullivan. Why, this - - Judge
says I'm to keep you locked up here
all the time and have some feller stay
to watch you day and night until you
are hung, and not let you out Of here
at all. told the jackass you was a
friend Of mine and would show up
for the hanging alright enough with
out being locked up, but he told me to
do what he said or quit, and I'm
going to resign. I won't have no su-
picion or insult like that thrown on no
friend of mine" Sullivan did his ut
most to sooth the sheriff and finally
the latter retired, leaving the key on
the nail as usual. During the night
the sheriff was awakened by shot
and he found his prisoner lying dead
on the cabin floor with the sheriffs
pistol in his hand. On the table was
the following note:
Friend Jack was only ques-
ton of few days with me anyway so
what's the odds? You won't need to
resign now. Many thanks for the
kindness shown. Say goodbye TO all
the boys for me. Better do as the
