PROGRESS ON
THECANAL
State photographer Tay-
iOr Gives the
Facts.

Respecting the great irrigating pro
jsct of the lTruckee river, Engineer
Taylor gives the following:
THE present operations are only
part of a greater plan for the utiliza'
ton of the waters of the rivers oi
Nevada for the irrigation of its arid
valleys and plains. They involve the
conserving and diverting of the wat
ers of the Truckee and Carson rivers
and will eventually bring $50, 900 acres
under cultivation. OF this land part
is private property but in some valleys
the major part is government land.
The canal which diverts the water
from the Truckee Is now being con-
structed under contract, and will when
completed supply water to 100000 &C
res directly, 20 per cent of which is
now government land.
1.-THE contractors still have a year
in which to complete the work, but the
distributing systems will not be finish
ed by that time, and / am unable TO
state when they will be finished. The
surveys have not yet been completed.
"All government land has been with
drawn from entry except under the
homestead act aud the secretary OF
the interior has the right under the
law to limit homestead entrys to
from 10 to so acres. He has not yet
fixed this limit nor the price or con-
ditions under which the water will be
furnished Water will not be supplied
to any portion Of the district within
one and half years and to the MAJOR
part In not less than from two TO three
years. All the land will be subdivided
as soon as the limiting area of the
homestead entry has been determined
at Washington.
when this has been done the land
can be entered by any person having
the right to dc 80 under the home
stead act; but 1t will be some time be-
fore the water can be delivered and
until 1t can, there is nothing person
can do to make living out of the
land.
"In view of these facts and condit-
ions, It is considered inadvisable, il
not hazardous, for anyone to file on the
land at present, and there is no as
surance that persons SO fling will be
able TO hold the property. 1t is the
wiser plan for all to wait until matters
have been definately settled as to the
size and locations of farms, and the
conditions under which the water will
be delivered is dehnately settled. The
law of residence will be strictly enforc-
ed and all must actually reside on
the land for five years before the title
can be acquired.
"rhere is no question that any irri-
CATION scheme undertaken by the gov
eminent Will be a success. Exact data
has been gathered for years and every
available stream has been gagged ac-
curately, so that the average as well as
minimum aow has been carefully de-
termined."
