AWARDED.
San Francisco Company Will
Build the Great Canal.
GOOD TIMES AHEAD
FOR WADSWORTH.

The contract for the Construction of
the Truckee irrigation project, sections
one and two has been awarded to A.
{. Warren & Co.. a San Francisco
firm.
Work will be comm enced at once
and there will be plenty Of labor for
men and teams for many months in
this the most advanced experiment in
irrigation being made under the new
law.
The company which secured the
contract is composed OF E. A. Buck
man. A. j. Rash and C. A. Warren.
all Of San Francisco Headquarters
VIII soon be established along the line
of construction and operations begun
L. A. Taylor, resident engineer for
the government. will be in charge of
the engineering end of the great un-
dertaking.
A E. Buckman will arrive In a few
days to mark out the work, and 1t is
expected that active work will be in
progress in less than a month.
A million dollars will be expended in
this gigantic undertaking and the bene-
fit to Wadsworth resultant will be
great. 1t is estimated thlt at least
thousand men will be constantly en-
ployed on the work and it is a conserv-
alive estimate to say that at least S2O.-
600 per month will be spent in this
town. This will mean much TO our
business men, and times will be lively
In this burg for the coming year even
though the railroad shops should be
moved to the new site few miles
east of Reno during that period. and it
is not probable that this can be done
in so short time, judging from the
length Of time required by the railroad
for the work already completed.
While the irrigation work was being
talked about. and even when the work
of surveying was being actively prose-
cuted there were many skeptics in our
midst who declared that the work
would never be undertaken. They did
not give any good reason for their
opinion and ii may have been induced
by the idea that the proposition was
too good to be true.
= Nothing is too good for Wadsworth,
and now that the last doubt regarding
the irrigation project has been swept
away by the letting of the contract.
let's throw away our hammers. Bury
them. We will have no use for them
and are better off without them. II
we should feel called upon to do some
knocking" in the future. let's first
make sure that we will not be iniuring
our town, and, indirectly. ourselves.
If the pickets on our fences are loose
let's tack them on and not allow our
property to run down, with the idea it
is almost valueless. 1t Is not only
possible. but very probable that before
long real estate in WadsWorth will be
voluahie than ever before.

HANK MONKS
FAMOUS DRIVE
Horace Greeley's Stage Coach
Ride Vividly Recalled BY
an Interesting Worlds Fair
Exhibit.

ST. Louis. Aug. l7-Hank Monk,
the stage driver Of pioneer days in the
West, was immortal.zed by Mark
Twain in his "Roughing It," The
stage coach in which Hank Monk got
Horace Greeley to Placerville "on
time, = and the gold watch that was
presented to the intrepid Jehu because
Of his record breaking trip will be
among the interesting curios at the
Worlds Fair. ST. Louis. 1904.
Mr.. ]. A. Yerington. of Carson City.
Nevada's executive commissioner to
the Worlds Fair. was in ST Luis a
few days ago and told Charlie M.
Reeves, secretary of the states and
territorial exhibit committee, that Ne
vada would exhibit among other inter
esting things, these famous Hank
Monk relics.
Hank Monk, as will be remembe red
by everyone who has read Mark
Twain's first famous book, "Roughing
It," was the driver who was In charge
Of the stage that carried Horace Gree
ley into Placerville one evening in the
latter sixties.
Mr.. Greeley was booked to deliver
an address In that mining village at 7
o'clock. The trip was tedious and the
great editor began to fear that he would
not reach Placerville in time to keep
his engagement. He leaned out of the
stage window and asked the driver,
Hank Monk, If he could not entice
little more speed from the horses.
The imperturbable driver leaned
down and replied:
Keep your seat, Horace, Ill get
you there on time.
How Hank Monk kept hi; word is
graphically recorded by Mr.. Clemens.
Probably no trip over the mountains
was ever at such break-neck speed.
The distinguished passenger was tossed
around In the bounding stage like corn
in a Pepper and there we're those who
declared that Mr. Greeley's head was
forced through the roof.
The trip was the topic Of the entire
coast and country and some admirers
OF the celebrated driver bought him a
handsome gold watch. Inside the
case was this inscription:
Presented to Hank Monk In COM
memoration of his celebrated drive in
landing Horace Greeley on time.
Keep your seat. Mr. Greeley, I'll get
you there on time. s"
At the time OF the Greeley ride
Hank Monk was In the, e,employ OF DR..
NJ. Benton Of Carson City. Monk
and Benton were close friends and
vhan the Old stage driver died the
famous watch passed into the possess
ion'of DR.. Benton,
Hank Monk was buried In the Gem
lery at Carson City. A plain sand4
$ione slab marks the grave and in a
niche cut in the stone may be seen
lntype portrait of the man who got
Horace Greeley In ION time.
Mr. Yerington has secured the
Va'ch from Mr. Benton and will have
1t on exhibition in the Nevada build
ing.
