sequel of the electrocution of Martha

paid the extreme penalty at Sing

her husband with an axe, was brought

After securing her divorce the
first wife went to New York, where
she married Robert Place, a wealthy

WASHINGTON, April S.-The first
land reclaimed by government irriga-
tion work will be given its first taste
Of water, and will be formally turned
over to the American public on June
IL, the third anniversary of the pass
age by congress of the reclamation
law.
The Nevada town of Hazen, which
was created by this government irri-
cation project, will be the scene of
festive doings. Governor George c.
Pardee of California. a delegation of
the California legislature, members
of the irrigation committees of the
United States senate and house of
repre- sentatives, l.. II. Taylor, super
vising engineer in charge of the
work. and George Blanchard, assistant
to Chief Newell of the reclamation
bureau, are among those who Will
participate in the formal celebration
of the first accomplishment.
Water will be turned onto $4,000
acres of land which never has known
the taste of water. 1t is rich, fiat
soil, needing only this magic touch
to make it the most productive in the
world. Before another three-year
period has passed. 100000 additional
acres will be brought under water and
made tributary to the same general
system. And after that, still more.
Already the government has spent
$500, 600. The entire project contem-
plates an expenditure of 100000.
The irrigable lands. within the
reach of the Truckee and Carson river

Reno, as a result Of private irrigation
enterprise, comprise a total area of
about $4,000 acres.
The Truckee-Carson project, which
IS the official designation of the un-
dertaking which has produced the
town of Hazen, and will soon be the
creator Of some 1000 farms, is one of
IA principal projects" to which the
government has set its hand. The
others are in various less advanced
stages of progress. The problem in
viewed in this Truckee-Carson pro-
Ject was to find some way to save
the waters of two noble rivers, the
Truckee and Carson, which flow from
the SHOWS of the lofty Sierra Nevada
mountains, on the northwest border
OF Nevada and California, and plunge
into a mysterious pit on the borders
of the desert. This pit. in which the
waters disappear into the bowels of
the earth, just when they are most
needed TO irrigate the plain. is known
as sink"
To divert the waters of these riv-
ers and lead them into canals and
storage basins for distribution over
the fat, dry areas about the sinks"
is the task to which the government

build a habitation on that land, to
make bitches, to get a plow and an

fruits. all of which will cost money.
If ne has not the cash, he will have
to work by the day ana save mOney

From his profits the settler must
pay back to the government his
farms proportionate share of the
cost of the irrigation works, these
payments to be in annual INSTALL

years. at the end of that time, If he
can show that he has reclaimed a.
least one-half of the total irIisa BILE
area of his entry for agricultural
purposes, the land and the water
privileges are his forever.
The first payment for his water
rights will not be due until he has
had chance to raise one crop. Then
there will be no trouble to pay the
water right payment from this crop.

The water right payment on one
of these farms will be about sos a

years of $3.50 an acre. Thus at the
end of the 10 years the settler will
have paid $20S0. plus whatever he in

The value of one of these farm
homesteads, at the end of the 10-year
period, judging from the value of
other irrigated farms in the west,
should not be less than $4,000, and
