Government Dam
at Lake Tahoe

Contractors are at Lake Tahoe es-
timating the cost of the projected
government dam for the purpose of
bidding for the work.
The new dam will be situated about
three quarters of n mile southeast of
the old one. 1t is to be built of con-
crete and supervised by some of the
most skilled workmen. There will be
constructed above the dam concrete
bridge which will be the passage be-
tween Tahoe City and the Tahoe Tav-
ern. The new bridge will be modern
in every particular.
1t is said that the purpose of the
government for erecting this dam is
on account of the old dam being the
property of F. Fleishacker, he having
purchased it from the Truckee Lum-
Der company and having a right of
way. The canal will be 2,200 feet in
length from the Lake to the outlet
of the Truckee river. Construction
work will begin June | and must be
completed in six months.

To Oil the Railroad

Salt Lake Herald: Oil by the train
load is likely to be used along the line
of the Salt Lake Route to protect
travellers from the dust. The propo-
stion is receiving favorable consid-
Grafton at the hands of the managers
of the road, and while they are not
prepared TO say that the scheme will
be adopted, they. are convinced that
it is a good thing and that ii may be
put in operation even during the pres
ent year.
The plan is to Use oil from the wells
in California TO scatter along the
track through the desert, and in this
way permanently settle the dust. The
plan has been found to work well on
a number of the roads in California,
and it is believed it will work equally
well alog the Salt Lake Route.
West from the Meadow valley wash
there is long stretch of desert and
in the hottest part of the year it is
feared that the dust along this stretch
of track might detract from the pleas
ure of travelling unless oil is used to
keep the air clean. After the ground
is thoroughly saturated with the oil,
all that is necessary is to sprinkle
once or twice a year to keep the track
practically free from dust. After the
nrst treatment of the ground, oil
sprlnkling is not heavy expense.

This is not the spirit that Vermont

one which says that duty must be

In relation to the case of John Shee-

TO have been unjustly assessed. the

be competent to judge a mans TAXA
bility. Our tax laws need little re-
vising." This is one of the very points
the Reformer made in its arguments

taxpayers. 1t is bad enough to put
a man in Jail when he refuses to pay
a tax which he knows. or thinks he
knows. to be unjust; but when IL
comes to DISTINGUISHING man on the

far
