DO, DIG OR DEFEAT.

Atlanta Constitution: The citizens
of the country who have kept informed
as to isthmian canal matters know that
the canal is purely business and not
an internal partisan affair.
Any endeavor to make it sound in the
latter terms will not be labor of patri-
otism by the leaders Of either OF the
great parties.
Both parties are equally committed
to the trade necessity for the construc.
tion of the canal, and for the representa-
tives of either party to foment a partisan
breach over the project, which at the
furthest can only extend to the method s
of procedure. would subject all of them
to a clean.cut charge of un-American-
ism and poker-playing politics.

PRIVATE IRRIGATION PROJECT.

An irrigation scheme is on foot to re.
claim some of the waste lands on the
bench back of Empire, on the river.
A Stockton company has entered the
held and secured options and such
rights as will enable them to carry on
their plans. The object of the affair is
to demonstrate the efficiency of a pump
and oil engine manufactured by the
promoters. They expect to show that
1t is economical and practical to raise
water from the river and flow it over
the lands described. The land itself is
of the best in Nevada, aud only REQUIRES
water to make it extremely valuable.
The first plant will be sufficient to re.
claim about 300 acres. aud after it is
growing good crops the scheme will be
extended. with the ultimate purpose of
reclaiming about 800 acres.-Carson

Regarding the recent trip of Presi-

lowing facts have been given out:
The trip from Ogden was one of in.
spection of the numerous stretches of
progress for the past year and a half.
One stretch of track ten miles in length,
extending from Brown, Nevada, west
ward, received its initiation in the pass
age over it of Mr.. Harriman's trains
From Reno the members of the party
who had accompanied Mr.. Hartman on
his western trip returned home.
Before starting west Mr.. Hartman
expressed extreme satisfaction with the
completion of the extensive improve.
ments between Ogden and Reno. He
said:
There will be additional stretches of
track that will be Strengthened from
time to time until the work is complete.
Tunneling the Sierra is project that
has been seriously considered, but when
the work will begin, if at all, is indefi-
mite. Several routes have been sug.
gested, but none has been decided on.
The tunnels along the proposed line are
numerous. one of them being five miles
in length. Forty miles of snow sheds
now in use will be practically abandon

WORK ON THE BIG CANAL.
Three Miles of Steam Sh0veling
About COMPLETED.

"The work on the Government canal
through Churchill County is progress
ing rapidly" said H. W. Esden of the
Wadsworth Light Company in an inter-
view with q Reno Gazette man, land
Wadsworth is already feeling the ad-
vantage of the work.
"Stone Bros. and Warren, the two
contractors Of the work, are employing
every man that asks for work, and so
far there has been scarcity of laborers.
Two steam shovels are being operat-
ed by Stone Bros. and one on the War
rem end of the contract. I would judge
from the indications that the canal will
be completed and water running
through it by the Spring of 1906. You
see the time limit for the work is four
teen months, and that viii bring the
completion of the work in the Winter
or early Spring.
"At present Stone Bros. have about
three miles of ditch completed. that is
the work of the steam shovel is com.
pleted that far. The canal will ell have
to be gone over and surfaced by hand
before water is turned in.
ALREADY this territory is attracting
wide attention, and many Fasteners
are stopping over at Wadsworth to visit
the canal"

THE INDIAN MURDERER's CASE
The Governor Expresses His views
In the Interests of Fair Play.

IN the interests OF Fair Play.
A Carson Appeal representative asked
Governor Sparks his opinion in regard
to the case of the Indian boy sentenced
to be hanged from Lincoln County, and
received the following reply:
~ feel that in o matter as serious az
the death penalty, that any defendant
should have the benefit Of o jury trial
and Of all the courts in addition. As
understand he was told by his attorney
to plead guilty, which he did. and the
court had nothing left to do but to im-
pose the sentence. He did not have the
benefit Of jury trial that twelve men
might have had o chance to know the
circumstances surrounding the case. I
would feel that way in the case Of any
man. He should have trial Jury and
the Supreme Court should have an OPP
portunity of reviewing the proceedings.
do not want to see any man hung in
Nevada under any other conditions.
and believe that the best way would
be for the case to 20 back to Lincoln
County and give the defendant the
benefit of jury trial"
