CASH PAID FOR LAND ON

Treasury Steadily Acquiring Realty
in Square t43.

The process of acquiring the various
properties in square 143, the pew Hail
of Records site. goes ahead steadily. As
fast as titles to the different lots are
looked over by the Attorney General
and the papers are turned over to the
Treasury Department. settlement is
made with the owners.
Yesterday. a check was given in pay
ment for the Boyes property. one lot.
the price paid by the Government being
SS.66S.s0. In all the Treasury Depart
the site. Two of the Hazelton lots have
been paid for and the Behrend, Stewart,
and Boyes properties
At the Treasury Department il is said
there is little fear of protracted delay
on account of the fact that lot IL is
in litigation. The title for this lot is
contested by three different individuals
and each has agreed to accept the price
being paid by the Government for the
other lots.
In case 1t appears likely the litigation
over lot IL is TO be too long drawn out,
the Government will, 1t is said, condemn
the lot, turn over to the court the value
OF the lot according to the price being
paid for the rest of the site, and then
let the alleged owners of lot IL all fight
10 their hearts content for the posses
sion of the money instead of cUntesting
for the lot itself. Such a course would
obviate delay and would not interfere
with the preparation OF plans. and the
securing of an appropriation for the
building itself.
The total cost of the site will be
1908. 494-10, this being two and one
tenth times the assessed value of the
square.

Injunction Suit.

Miller & Lux served papers on
four of the largest ditch companies
in this valley this week notifying
them to appear in court at Carson
next Monday and show cause why
they should not be enjoined from
taking a certain amount of water
out of the Walker River. 1t was
thought that the SHOWS of last sea-
son were heavy enough to assure an
abundance of water this Summer.
Such does not seem to be the case,
however, as ranchers all over the
valley are now compelled to pump
water for their stock. Miller x Lux
have some 1900 or 400 head OF stock
to water, and to pump water tor
them means much expense, while
not to pump it means death to the
stock. Miller x Lux are, therefore,
going to try and get what water
they think belongs to them In the
river.

The GenzeI Residence Burned.

Last Sunday eveing between sew
en- and eight o'clock the residence of
Henry Genzel, located about five
miles north of Yer1ngton was total
ly destroyed by fire, together with
the furniture and clothing of the
family. Just how the fire started is
a mystery. The folks were all out
doors attending to the evening
chores when smoke was seen issu-
ing fran the kitchen roof and it is
very likely that a defective flue
was what caused the blaze. Mr..
and Mrs. Genzel and their little
daughter worked heroically pump
ing an throwing water, but to no
avail. Fortunately the wind was
in direction which kept the flames
away from the barns aad haystacks.
The loss is in the neighborhood of
$1,000, with no insurance. Mr.. Cen
eel will rebuild.

ct IL. Master Robert Esden, of

with a recitation and everybody
expressed themselves as enjoying
very pleasant evening.
There are about $50 campers here
and we are having very pleasant
time. The scare about the convicts
has entirely subsidized. A grand mas
querade was given Wednesday
