Churchill lIrriga.
ton Canal.

The government irrigation lower
canal will tap the Truckee river
four miles east of Clark's station.
1t will follow the canyon for about
ten miles and will involve driving
three tunnels, one of which will
be cement coated throughout.
The canal will be IA feet wide
at the bottom, SO feet wide at the
top and carry the depth of 10 feet
of water in the center and will
have a flow varying from two to
three feet per second.
From various points along it's
curse lateral bitches will be ex-
cavated following the higher
ground and irrigating the land
for forty miles.
The first canal will be taken out
q few miles this side of Wadsworth
and will be carried across the can
yon by an inverted siphon, which
will run northward nearly eight
cen miles to the Pyramid reserva-
ton, compris.ng approximately 81,
600 acres.
While the work of the main
canal will be completed in about a
year, asmall portion of the land
that can be watered directly from
the canal will probably be ready
for entry some time about May LIST
next. That scheme contemplates
reaching far out into Churchill
county to lands now fer remote
from any water supply.

The Cost of census.1akInu.

The difference between the cost Of
securing the returns from the six
simple questions asked in 1890, and
that of the extended inquiry made
century later, is illustrated by the
per capita cost, which in 1890 was
liz cents, and in 1900, 1916 cents. In
1880 Virginia was the most populous
state in the Union, having 747,610
inhabitants. The records of the
Treasury department show that at
the first census, the cost of making
the enumeration in that state was
S,553.90. Moreover, at that enumera-
ton. the underpaid assistant mar.
shals supplied their own blanks, an
item which was of considerable i'm.
portance in the days when all paper
was made laboriously by hand. In
1900 the population of Maine about

There are several NORWOOD farms

UNION PACIFIC ADMITS
ELEVATOR AGREEMENT
Concerns at Omaha, Council Bluffs
and Kansas City are Paid for
Handling Grain

Washington. May 25.-The Union
Pacific railroad has filed with the in
terstate commerce commission its
answer to the order of the commits
sion instituting an investigation of
the alleged rebates Of the Union Pa
ific TO elevators.
The Union Pacific admits that it has
an agreement with the Midland Eleva-
tor Company at Kansas City and the
Omaha Elevator Company at Council
Bluffs, both companies being represen-
tatives Of Peavey &c Co., under the
terms of which the Union Pacific
pays IN cents per 100 pounds for re-
ceiving, transferring and handling all
grain which passes through these ele-
yators.
The Union Pacific says that these
elevators are absolutely necessary to
the economical and profitable hand
ling of its grain business and that in
stead of building and operating the
elevators it arranged with the repre-
sentatives of the Peavey concern to
construct and operate them and fur
nish the necessary facilities for hand
ling all grain shipped over end con-
signed to the Union Pacific lines. The
road denies that the allowance so paid
is excessive.
