A COMP PR0MISE
Reached Between Miller & Lux
and the Ranchers

]. l. Wilson, one of the delegation from
Mason and Smith valleys. who has been
at San Francisco comforting with Miller
& Lux regarding a settlement of the
trouble between that concern and the
ranchers and other land owners of the
valleys, has returned to the valley great
ly pleased with the outlook for a speedy
compromise of all the difficulties. He Is
greatly elated and feels that with this
obstacle out of the way the Government
will now include the territory in the basin
OF the Walker river in it's irrigation
project.
Miller & Lux have been disputing with
the ranchers of the two valleys and with
the T. b. Hickey Cattle Company over
the rights to the waters in the Walker
river. The San Francisco firm has en-
tered suits against practically all of the
land owners of the valleys. claiming they
are infringing on it's water rights. The
litigation is complicate- and the suits
bid fair to be expensive unless an ad-
justment can be secured out of the courts.
The proposition of the ranchers is that
the various claimants to water rights
shall cede their interests to the Govern
ment. which shall cede back to them,
under its reclamation regulations, all the
water they require for their holdings. In
ernment would also reclaim many thou
sands OF acres which are now arid.

A LITTLE FARM
WELL TITLED
Interesting Sociological Features
Of National Irrigation
System

Some of the sociological factors in the
theme of an address last week before the
Philadelphia Congress of the American
Association for the Advancement of Sci
ence. by Guy e. Mitchell, an extensive
writer on irrigation and public land SUBJ
Jects.
No question before the public today,
Mr.. Mitchell declared, presents more In
teresting sociological phases than does
the national irrigation question in Amer
lea, not only through the great number of
homes to be created by artificially water
ing desert wastes, but through the far
reaching effect of the working out Of a
great government irrigation policy and
the general education of the American
people on the advantages of this prac-
tice, both west and east
The social side of irrigation can be de-
scribed in the single clause: Irrigation
subdivides and re-subdivides land into
Irrigated communities average the
smallest farms in the world. The west
contains thousands of five and ten-acre
farms from which men are making COM
Portable livings. The social conditions of
some of the most intensely irrigated
tracts are, perhaps, the most nearly per-
feet Of those of any communities in the
world.
EDUCATION TO EASTERN FARMERS.
Now. the effect of the great government
irrigation works, which are being pushed
rapidly forward, will be to create a west
ern empire of new homes and at the same
time to incidentally thoroughly educate
the people of the entire country on the
subject of irrigation. The consequence
will be that irrigation practices will
finally enthrall the eastern farmer. The
facts as they exist in European countries
show that irrigation can be practiced
with great profit inland which has suf-
ficient rainfall to grow paying crops. IT.
rigation is crop insurer besides guar
anteeing double yields, and when 1t il
applied to eastern farm lands the result
will be to divide them into smaller and
better titled tracts.

SIERRA VALLEY
Ranches Plan Great Irrigation
System

The ranchers of the Sierra valley, lying
Immediately west of Reno in California
are taking steps to secure an immense ir-
rigation system that will cover the entire
valley and reclaim tbs 10000 acres of arid
land that would be productive If supplied
with water. Meetings are being held and
it is believed that great irrigation COM
pany will be formed ito accomplish the
desired result.
There are 10000 acres in the Sierra
valley, and while much of it is arid there
are thousands of acres of bottom lands
that cannot be used on account of over
flows. The plan contemplates the con-
struction of immense reservoirs to take
care of this water which will be released
as needed during the summer months.

to be badly tg led up transaction
and that If tss 70 counties. washoe
and HumbolS$ ould work together in
the matters. 4 justice would be better
carried o. The court at Reno and the
Commissigners of Humboldt do not see
things through the same eyes and the
end is not yet.
To the Silver State 1t does not appear
that there is any question of jurisdiction
involved. Jurisdiction simply means the
power Of courts to hear and determine
causes and service. Neither Washoe nor
Humboldt is claiming this authority
against the other. Jurisdiction Is not
an issue. If there is any question at all
1t is the power of this county to employ
special counsel to assist in conducting
litigation In which Humboldt is interest
ed. The power has never been disputed
so far as the Silver State has been able
been exercised when deemed necessary,
not only in civil, but in criminal cases,
and the present authorities of this coun-
ty, insofar as they dispute the right of
the county to employ special counsel in
cases in which it has an interest, differ
with Judge Curler OF the Second judicial
District Court and also with the State
Supreme Court of this and every State
In which the question has been raised,
which is seldom, and never except to
avoid just obligation. AS far as the
duty of the county under the request of
Judge Curler and District Attorney Craig
to employ special counsel and under all
the circumstances of the case, there GER
tainly can be no difference in opinion
about this, for not only the ends of JUS
tice, but the direct interest of the county,
which pays all expenses, is most vitally
affected, and 1t is to be hoped that the
matter may be adjusted SO that neither
the ends of justice will miscarry nor the
interest of the taxpayers suffer further
interest of the taxpayers suffer. How
ever, the Silver State will not attempt
TO settle the controversy, but will leave
the matter for wiser heads to handle.
