trip to Hazen Monday returning the
following day. There was nothing at
all remarkable in the fact noted, but
the revelation experienced in the rapid
development OF the country interyen-
ing between Fallon and Hazen is a
matter that might well cause
wonderment with the most farseeing.
On either side of the main road
cabins, built on the same plans as
those that marked the first industrial
advances of every section, meet the
eye. In nearly all cases the settler
has followed his initial BODYBUILDING
by the erection of additional buildings,
and the building of fences, all ot which
tends to strengthen the general OBJ
servers confidence in the ultimate fu-
ture of the section. The buoyancy OF
every agricultural community is based
on the faith of the man who tills the
soil. Ii one is to judge from the evi
dence presented the faith OF the peO-
pie who a.e now elect,ng the Carson
Sink for their homes is unoounded.
Returning by way OF Soda Lake
road the same conditions are en-
countered-in fact, wherever, the
opening OF lands to settlement has oc-
Cured, it has been seized upon by tn
homeseeker with avidity.
There is something remarkable III
the transition now being experienced
by this section, inasmuch as it marks
one OF the closing chapters OF the
homestead privilege. In fact the
ideal conditions that must soon rtsllt
in this section, can be SAID TO be a
direct result OF the taking OF all avail
able homestead lands. The crea ion 0I
the Reclamation Act was SO to speak d
relief measure framed for the very
obvious purpose of providing homes
for parties, who had the blood in their
necks to undertake the transforming
of virgin desert soil into stretches that
will under their efforts soon blossom as
the rose.
1t is 6gured that the extra expense
to be incurred by the water right sold
by the government is more than amply
compensated for by the surety Of
moisture for crops that accompany the
contract. With the advantages being
offered by the different government
projects, the lands embraced thereby
are being eagerly sought, and the time
must soon be upon US, when we can
say fortunate indeed is the man, who
had the foresight to forecast the Won
derful advantages to accrue from the
interest Uncle Sam has taken in max
ing the initial step in the development
OF the arid lands"
"Is there any more good lands avail
able for settlement in the Carson Sink
country" run large number OF in
quiries that reach US daily, and they
come from people who are land hungry
who through the va. ious natural
processes OF life have learned the real
value OF a home. That question
has been asked for thirty years
In conversation with an "old timer"
t6 whom much honor is due, he stated
that when he came to this section
twenty years ago he was told that the
good land was all taken. In looking
over the country he was himself con-
yinced of the truth of the assertion,
but for other reasons he settled here
People have been coming in ever since
so he states. Three years ago he did
not think that he knew OF single
good tract of land that was vacant, and
vet the advent OF the Reclamation de-
partment makes available for settle
ment tracts OF land compared to which
the original holdings OF the old settlers
will seem insignificant, and he greatest
land activity of the section seems
DESTINED for the near future. The
most amazing thing OF the whole affair,
states the purity, whom We quote, Is the
fact that the late comers seem to be
satisfied that they will do fully as yell
in their BODYBUILDING process as those
who came earlier and had their pick.
At the bottom of this condition which
pnzzles 30 many is simple but i'm
portant truth which is OF wide applica-
ton. The bonanzas OF today were
taken yesterday. The snaps OF to-
snorrow are kicked about today as not
