1t Is rumored that both the Democratic

this county are going to appoint the del
egates to their respective conventions in
stead OF re-elect!ng them at primaries
as has always been done in the past.

things in the interest of gag law. and
bossism have lately received such Sc
we're drubbing In their primaries at the
HANDS OF the people that they are going
TO arbitrarily do away with the suffrages
of the voter. as they did in Winnemucca
at the Silver convention last week, and
name instead their own delegates; have
a cut and dried convention and nominate
for county office whoever suits the wiles
and ways OF the Newlands push.
Evidently they intend to Deprive the
people from having any say in their con
ventions.
Wonder how they are going to deprive
the voters of their sufrrages on election

Government Plans to Reclaim
Land Between ElkO and
WinnemuCCd

BY far the most comprehensive OF all
the irrigation projects now under way
or proposed by the government will pro-
badly be undertaken within the next
spring full corps of engineers and sur
veyors will leave the department under
the control of L. ii. Taylor of Reno
and begin a thorough survey of lhe
Humboldt river valley, from Eiko to
Winnemucca. for the purpose of prepar-
Ing data for the irrigation of that i'm
mense territory. comprising In all over
one million acres of the finest farm lano
In the state. There is little doubt that
this will be the next irrigation unuerak-
Ing and that the actual construction
work will begin Immediately after the
completion OF the great Truckee-C Carson
project. which Is now under way.
The greatness OF the project exceeas
all that have heretofore been consider
ed. At present there are about 10000,
acres of land under cultivation in i:e
various valleys of the Humboldt. To TIL,
Will be added fully 10000 more making
the extent OF territory reclaimed fully
twice that which will be brought undei
cultivation by, the TTuekee-C Carson pro

ever been taken up by the United s,ate

clearly defined at this time. There al,

of this section. but It was not q
thorough character as It Is not OK .ecteo
that any irrigation work will be don.
there I'm the near future.
THE HUMBOLDT PROJECT.
According TO Mr.. Taylor the cost OF tn,
reclamation work In the valleys OF tn-
Humboldt will rot be as expensiv. pc,
acre as that OF the Carson Sink vale,
which will be OF great advantage as Il
will permit of more rapid settlement by
homeseekers. All the main tributaries To
the humboldt river abound In natural
reservoir sites. he says. which viii max
the cost per acre much less than In Other
parts OF the stale. The Humboldt Itself
Is also admirably suited for Irrigation
purposes. he says. and practically all
waters can be used for irrigation pur-
poses.
