Work Now in Progress.
Nevada will soon have one of the
| largest and most comprehensive irri-
CATION systems in .he world where
with to make its desert lands blossom
as the rose. Mr. l.. II. Taylor, dis
trict engineer for the United States
Reclamation Service for Nevada, has
recently been in Washington and
reports the satisfactory progress OF the
Truckee-Carson reclamation project,
of which he has immediate charge.
This project contemplates the utiliE-
alton OF the waters of the Truckee
and Carson rivers for the irrigation Of
about 375,000 acres of sage brush des-
ert in western Nevada. These lands
will furnish homesteads of about so
acres each for about 4,500 families. It
is expected that with the addition of
the towns and villages that will natu-
rally spring up in the district, the
population of the state will be In
creased in the next few years by at
least 10000 people.
Active construction Is now in prog
gress on main canal about thirty-one
miles long. which is to divert the wat
ers of Truckee river to large storage
reservoir on the lower Carson river
There the waters of the two streams
Will be mingled and impounded, and
thence led out upon the plains in the
vicinity of the Carson and Humboldt
Sink. Two contracts for the construc-
tion OF different divisions of this canal
were made by the secretary of the In
terror with T.. B. and A. l.. Stone Com
pany. and c. A. Warren & Co., Cali

lively. Ground was broken on Sep
tember IL, 1908, and the work is to be
finished by November OF the present
year. In the meantime, surveys for
the requisite system of distributing
canals are well under way, and the
department will be ready In the
spring TO contract for their construc-
ton. This work will be followed by
the erection of dam which will form
the reservoir on tho Carson river
The reservoir will have total length
Of about eighteen miles and will flood
over 10000 acres of land to an average
depth OF twenty-eight feet.
The lands to be irrigated by these
works aggregate about 100000 acres.
situated in the lower portions of the
Truckee, Carson and Humboldt river
basins. In the upper valley Of the
Truckee and Carson rivers some $4,000
ceres of additional land will be sup
piled from works to be constructed
some time in the future. As these
great areas are gradually brought un-
der cultivation. and greater water
supply Is required, ten additional res
eryoirs. including Lake Tahoe. are to
be added.

Damage at Port Arthur.

New York. March 13.-The Herald
publishes the following from It's cor
respondent:
Che Foo. March 1856 D. M.
Eastern Time.-Captain Hale OF the
British steamer Foxton Hall, which
las arrived here from Port Arthur.
ttates that he was there when the
Japanese fleet attacked Port Arthur at
midnight Tuesday. The attack lasted
one hour. The attacking fleet came
from the direction of Talien Wan. Ow-
ing to the distance OF the attacking
vessels, he says. their early firing did
no damage, A signal was Immediately
given by the forts to prepare for the
attack. The Noyik weighed anchor
and proceeded outside the harbor, but
after she had been struck twice In the
stern. she retired and returned to the
naval anchorage. The other Russian
vessels took no part In the combat,
but allowed the forts to do the work.
After quarter Of an hour only one
fort remained active. the other main
tanning complete silence. II Is re-
ported that In this fort two guns were
disabled. One shell struck mud
dredger. which sank, but the others
fell into the harbor, causing no dam
age. General Nolkoff's house was
completely demolished and two guards
were killed by a bursting shell. The
Japanese losses are unknown. The Rus
SLAMS are constructing new forts at the
land entrance to Port Arthur. Several
thousand Chinese laborers are work
ing on these forts. A refugee from
Port Arthur reports that the Retvizan,
the Czarevitch. the Palladn and tho
Bayan are under repairs In the naval
dock. The rest OF the fleet is anchored
west OF the harbor.
