The DISPATCH is indebted to Resi-
dent photographer L. H. Taylor for
the following description Of the work
contemplated:
The Lower Truckee canal line. sur
veyed by the United States Irrigrtion
Survey in $4,000, was designed to
take water from near the crest of a
dam across the river. about fifty feet
above its bed. The location Of this
proposed dam is about three miles be-
low Caarks station. In order to obviate
the necessity Of this high dam, which
would be very expensive, and yet gain
the required elevation to command all
the irrigable lands. the writer proposes
ascanal to head In the right bank Of
the river a short distance above Clarks
station. about a miles by the canal
route. westerly from the site Of the
dam first mentioned; from that point
the line to follow the mountain side,
close to the river, for a distance Of
about ten miles. to a point approx
mately five miles above the town aof
Wadsworth. where 1t would divide into
two main branches. designated A. and
B. Up to that point the main canal
would have a carrying capacity Of
ESQ second feet. a uniform grade Of
GA in 1000 and q sectional area of
2o5 square feet.
Branch canal A.. designed to sup
ply the lands southeast Of .Wadsworth,
to continue along the mountain side to
the south Of the river for about 7 miles
to a point south from ,Wadsworth.
where 1t would enter the plain; thence
to run easterly for about l3 miles to
the edge Of the Carson Sink Valley.
This line was run on a grade Of o. in
1000. the canal TO have a sectional
area Of 100 square f~et and a capacity
Of SIS second feet for the first ten
miles. after which Its carrying capa-
city and sectional area would deminish
as lateral bitches branch off from 1t.
Branch canal 3. would run north
ward from tn terminus Of the main
canal. crossing Truckee river by an
inverted syphon Sc inches in diameter.
and extending to Pyramid Lake. 1t
would have a total length Of about d
miles and would furnish water for about
24oo acres Of land lying west and north
Of Wadsworth. Except in the pipe
line across the river. where the hyA
draulic grade is 3 in 1000. this line Is
designed TO run on a uniform grade Of
O.3 In 1000. The sectional area and
capacity at the head are 90 square
feet and 225 second-feef. respectively
but these would be gradually dImin-
lshed TO the north.

to make it public. Tt is we'll. If
there is more to this story it should
be told, and it is not impossible that
there is more. The report to the
Legislature was not quite satisfac-
tory and did not leave a good taste

Local tax carried in the election in
Marshville last week. Says the
Marshville Home: Local tax for
education is an innovation in our
educational system and many of our
people did not understand it when
the election was first proposed. The
writer is not an enthusiast over big
appropriations by the State for
higher education, but we believe it
is properly the business of the State
to educate it's citizens in the common
schools. This it is providing for to
an extent, but it does not go far
enough. If, then, it is conceded that
State taxation for public schools is
right and just, local taxation under
the same principle is also right, and
it is the duty of every community
to supplement the public school APP
preparation by special tax. We are
glad to announce hat Marshville
has endorsed this modern and prac-
tical idea of education by going on
p record for it and will maintain a
permanent educational institution
on a sound financial basis, which
is necessary for the continued sue
cess of any enterprise, either pub
lie or private.

Death of John FL. Boner.

Our Washington correspondent
makes note of the death in that city
of John Henry Boner, a native of
North Carolina, who was better
known abroad than at home. He was
a man of culture, of fine literary
taste and a poet of gifts. He was a
frequent contributor~to the Century
Magazine and has published one vol
ume or more of verse. Mr.. Boner
was a native of Salem and was born
in 1916. He edited newspapers there
and at Asheville, held clerical posi-
tions with the State Legislature and
in 1887 moved to New York. His
worth had instant recognition there
and he was alternately on the staff
of the Century Dictionary, the Lii
brary of American Literature, the
Standard Dictionary, Literary Di-
gest and Appleton's Cyclopedia, and
was for a period the literary editor
of the New York World. Latterly
he has been connected with the Gov
eminent Printing Office at Wash
ington. In his death the State has
lost a son who did'it credit and the
world of letters is the poorer for
his passing.-Charlotte Observer.

Work on Silk Mill Begun.

High Point, March Work has
begun on the excavation for the silk
mill, mention of which was made
in this correspondence some time
ago. The buildings will be ready
for the machinery early in the sum-
mer. The promoters are Swiss peo-
pie, who own large factories at Pat
terson, n. j., and other places. It
is proposed to build the factory with
a view to employing 1000 hands, as
they can be educated to do the work.
This will draw a good class of labor
and give employment to a class that
is looking for this kind of work.
