The foregoing advertisement is Of
great interest to the people of this
section. 1t is for the construction of
the two main lateral canals leading
from the great reservoir on the Car
son river to the lands in Churchill
county The great canal from Wais-
worth to the Carson river reservoir,
which will unite the waters of the
Truckee with those of the Carson riv-
er in the great storage basin near
Leeteville, will be completed this fall
and the water turned in.
OF the lateral canals to be construc-
ted under the above advertisements
one will be upon the north side of the
Carson river and terminate near Soda
Lake; the other upon the south side
past Fallon and terminating near
Grimes farm at Saltwater.
Engineer Taylor in charge OF the
work, states that by next April water
will be flowing in a part of both these
laterals sufficient to 1lrigate about
10000 acres Of land about five miles
from the head of the south lateral. The
two canals when completed will irri-
gate about 100000 acres of land more,
but the above number of acres will
be ready for cultivation next spring.
When it is remembered that the total
number of acres now irrigated by the
Truckee river is only about 10000, the
amount of land that will be available
for settlement next spring is impor-
tant Estimating that the farms will
average 100 acres each, three hundred
farm families can settle next year up.

IMPORTANT
ADDITION.
Made to Local Postoffice
Mailing Facilities.

The disappointmen.s, delays and
disarrangements of baslness because
of the irregular and late delivery OF
mail by train No. II on the Big Four
has been a matter of much just com.
plsint on the part of the public for sew
eral years. BY reason of this delay a
great part of the time the rural car
riers have been unable to carry out the
letters and papers of that day to their
patrons and the city carriers are often
unable to carry to the patrons through
out the city the letters and papers
brought In by No. II until the after
noon and sometimes until the mex
morning.
AS No. II brings in more mail than
any other train and as much IS half
dozen Of tome other trains ths matter
has assumed q very troublesome phase.
By reason of it letters are not delivered
sometimes until the secoad day after
they have been mailed at Cincinnati.
A part Of this delay In the transmits
sion Of letters has been caused Dy the
fact that we have had no mail from
Cincinnati from 8 p. IN until II :25 q.
IN. the next day, over II hours.
In order to secure a partial relief
from these troubles. Postmaster Camp
bell some two months ago made appli-
cation to the p. o. Department for q
pouch mail service over the d. 8. & q.
electric line that would bring us an
early morning mail from Springfield.
Some two weeks ago Mr.. Arthur L.
Benymer, Chief Clerk Of the Railway
Mail Service at Cincinnati, came to
Bsllefontaine to investigate the matter
and after due inquiry he said he would
report favorsply and saw no reason
why the request should not be granted
ae stated that by this arrangement
we would receive pouch from Spring
deld at 2 40 every morning except Sun
day: that this would bring ms all let
ters mailed at Cincinnati up to 8
o'clock the previous evening and all
mail from Cleveland up to about the
same hour ;and mail from points north,
east, south and west and be O very I'M

cieved from Superintendent Holloway: !:

Deaths DOings.

One of Bellefontaine's skillful ar.
lists and most talented men passed
away Tuesday evening at 8 O'Clock In
the person of james NJ. Lowe.
Mr.. Lowe had peen in failing health
for several years bat only three weeks
ago was he compelled TO lay aside his
regular duties and remain at home
Less than IA week before his death he
found it necessary to keep his bed aid
after tnis his strength rapidly failed
him until the end came
James Mays Lowe. son of E. B. and
Elizabeth Lowe. was born in Bellefon-
taine, Ohio. August 10, 1853. He was
bright lad and made rapid advance
ment in his studies in the local public
schools. At an early age he sho wed
remarkable talent for drawing ana
deciding upon this as his ife's work
entered the Philadelphia higher Art
Academy at the age of 16 years He
finished his education at that insti-
tuition and shortly after the close of his
course located at Newburg, N. Y,
where in 1880 he opened studio.
After successful business of three
Gears he was attacked with typhoid
fever and was compelled to return to
Bellefontaine. Upon his recovery
he returned to Newburg but remained
only short time when he came to
Bellefontaine, which place he had
since made his home.
Mr.. Lowe was an artist Of marked
ability. His WORK merited and re-
ceived the highest praise of the best
critics in that line. He was thorough
in anything he undertook and the care
fulness of his work was one of the
secrets of his success. His was a bright
mind. He read much. his choice Of lit
eratare being of the highest ..and best.
he was exceedingly well informed
upon subjects Of astronomy and scien-
tific affairs occupied much of his time.
What he attempted he reduced to a
science and no work for him was finish
ed unless it was well done.
About two years ago he accepted a
position in the W. NJ. Catch art stu
dio in this city and until compelled
to give up his duties attended to all
the retouching done by this successful
firm. Those only who knew him in
timately appreciated his real worth.
He was of a retiring nature and
inclined to depreciate his own work
and ability. No person had disposi-
tion more kind or had greater love
for things beautiful than did James
Lowe. His devotion to his home and
those therein was the cause for general
remark and his death has struck a
sad chord upon the heart strings of
brother and sisters whom he leaves
forever.
Mr.. Lowe Joined the Methodist Epis.
copal church during the pastorate of
Rev. ]. L. Albritton. in this city. He
had fond regard for Christian prin.
ciplee, and his living was honest and
upright. He realized that life for
him was rapidly drawing to an end
and expressed willingness to go feel
ing that with him all was well. Fun
ersl services will be held from the fam
lily home Friday afternoon.
Mr. loves remaining sisters and
brother are Mrs. o. p. Taylor. Mrs
Fannie Howbert. Miss Sarah Lowe,
Miss Hattie Lowe, Miss Madge Lowe
and Mr. Herman Lowe.
