RESERVOIRS
Engineer Taylor States That
Title To Railroad Land
Has Been Secured.
Government Can Now Commence
Budding at Its Pleasure.

Supervising Engineer L. II. Taylor
spent Thursday and yesterday in the
vicinity of Fallon, looking over the
work of this district. He states that
the negotiations that have been in
progress for sometime past between the
Reclamation Department and the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
whereby the former sought to acquire
tile to several thousand acres of rail-
road land situate within the limits OF
the lower Carson and the Alkali Flat
reservoir sites, are completed.
The work on the immense dams
necessary to conserve the water can now
be commenced without fear of hin
drance. However, it is not likely that
work on either reservoir site will be
started until the demand for water is
greater than at present.
The plans upon which the Carson
Sink irrigation project is being build
ed is exceedingly complex and in
clude many advantages not usually had
in connection with irrigation projects.
1t requires time to work out many of
these departures, and the building of
the immense storage reservoirs will be
completed to conform with the demand
for water created by the increased
acreage, that will ultimately come
under ditehes now building and project
ed.
Engineer Taylor stated during his
visit this week that of the two projected
storage reservoirs the Alkali Flat site
situated near Dayton would receive at
tention first by reason of the fact that
it is not at present trayersed by the
Carson river, and the turning OF water
into its confines would render more
feasible the preliminary work on the
Lower Carson reservoir.
In speaking OF the size of the two
reservoir sites, Mr.. Taylor stated that
the water surface presented by the
Lower Carson project would be IL 900
acres, while the Alkali site would pre-
sent water surface of only 5000 acres.
Likewise the engineering difficulties
presented by the former are much
more difficult than those presented by
the latter.
As stated before in these columns, q
greatly increased flow of water can be
secured for use in the Carson Sink by
utilizing the fiood.waters of the Lake
Tahoe watershed, which will be done
as soon as the Vandall suit can be dis
posed of. In the meantime the i'm
mense dams necessary for the con
serving of water will be built, but the
date of their building will depend
largely upon the demand created by

FALLON MAIL
IS ROBBED

The Fallon letter mail from the west
was robbed sometime last week and
that the act was not discovered un-
til Wednesday of this week would in
dictate a eulpable carelessness on the
part of those whose duty it is to look
after the mail sacks.
1t seems that past practice has been
to allow the mail dumped off from
night trains to lie undisturbed until it
was convenient for the carrier TO pick it
up. The isolation of the depot, made it
easy for the culprits to pick up the
mail sacks protected by the darkness
and to ransack them at their leisure.
The San Francisco mail that had evi-
dence of having received the attentions
OF the robbers bore the date OF Novem-
Der 29th, which would indicate that the
robbery occurred a week ago last
Thursday.
As near as can be learned nothing of
value was taken that could be realized
upon by the robbers. Several postal
orders and drafts are missing but no
cash was contained in the registered
mail.
Dectives have been searching for a
clue since the deed was discovered, but
little hope is entertained that the rob-
bers will ever be apprehended as the
time elapsing between the act and its
discovery would allow of their getting
out of the country.
The fact that the mail sacks were not
missed for several days is a fine COM
mentary upon the watehfulness OF
those whose duty it is to care for
Churchill county mail en- transit.
