an expense of f:~G or ten dOllers, might
have a donkey no bigger than a New

LIGHT THROWN ON
L|vENGO0D'S CASE
Letter Shows Him to Be a
Pure and Simple
Fakir.

The police have letter written to
"the poor blind man. w. G. Liven-
good, by a woman signing herself his
mother, who is now at Wallace, Ida.
The letter shows beyond doubt what
has been more than suspected since OH
Ger Shultz arrested Livengood for OBJ
structing the sidewalk and the anti
administration press shed tub of tears
over the "outrage. From the letter
it would appear that the man Liven-
good is q member Of gang who, it is
alleged, loot the public by combining
the sympathy dodge with q system Of
rank deception.
The letter advises Livengood to aban-
don the woman he is at present "work-
ing with and substitute the writer.
1t also suggests that he send her the
necessary money to get her and a child
to Salt Lake, which is regarded by the
writer as a fruitful field for the exer
else Of their joint abilities. The child
referred to is evidently a little girl,
for the writer says she can be dressed
up as boy and made valuable acqui
sition to the gang, especially, to use
the woman's own language, "just as
we are about to leave town.
The case against Livengood will be
decided at 2 clock tomorrow after
moon

TAYLOR TALKS
OF BIG PROJECT
Truckee-CarsOn Scheme Will
Reclaim Large Area Of
Land.
ACTUAL DELIVERY OF
WATER is BEING MADE
Three Hundred Men Are Now
Employed on the
Work.

L. Fl. Taylor, the supervising engi-
ncer in charge of the big Truckee-
Carson irrigation project, was in the
city with his wife and child Saturday,
on his way to Hansen, New, from Boise,
Ida, where he has been attending the
Irrigation congress. In an interview
with Tribune representative, MI.
Taylor gave out some very interesting
facts regarding tho big project, which
is to reclaim so many thousand acres
of land.
Mr., Taylor states that the initial
items of the work are completed, and
that the actual delivery Of water is
now being made to $4,000 acres of land.
The work has progressed much faster
under Federal management than it did
under the direction OF private construc-
tion companies, and there has been, up
to the present time, built and com
forty-fve miles of main distributing
system, and about 400 miles OF later
ais and bitches, which include tho
smaller laterals and drainage ditching.
Big Force Employed.
Three hundred men are now employed
on the work, and fully as many more
Those who are at work now are receiv-
ing from 1925 to $3.50 per day and
the fact that it is impossible to Sc
cure the 300 teamsters and "skin-
ners needed to push the work is inter
fering seriously with the progress of
the entire project
A number Of model camps have been
established by the Government, and
these are occupied by from forty to
eighty men each, the men paying their
own subsistence, this costing each indi-
,,l, nf
There are three eighthour shifts
working when the work is going at It's
full capacity, and the gangs will be
increased as the men can be secured
to do the work.
Within q month, or six weeks, accord
ing to the statements Of Mr.. Taylor,
100000 acres Of land in tho Truckee-
Carson district Will be thrown open for
settlement under the homestead laws,
and this will be divided into eighty
acre units, and the water will be ready
for delivery to these tracts.
Charges for Water.
The charge for the water is $26 per
acre, payable in ten annual install
ments, the first payment falling due on
December l following the April in
which the first actual delivery of water
is made, thus giving the farmer a
cndnce 10 get some revenue from MS
land before having to even make the
first payment.
Mr.. Taylor talked enthusiastically Of
the market facilities for that portion
of the country. The Southern Pacific
is completing an eighteen-mile branch
from the heart Of the Truckee district
to Hazen, while another to Tonopah is
in operation, Thirty thousand people
are at present importing every bit Of
the fruit they use from outside the
State, and all Of this trade would 90
to the home growers were they able to
furnish the goods.
According to the views of the gen
tleman, who has been on the ground
and in charge Of the actual work, the
future of this portion of Nevada is
bright indeed, and the limit OF pros
perity will not be attained in hun
dred years.

cases being reported Turing the past
week. During the corresponding week
Of 1905 there were fourteen cases re-
ported.
The city is considered to be excep-
tionally free from all forms Of sickness
and was probably never in better con.
dition from a sanitary standpoint than
it is at the present time. The report
Of the Board of Health is az follows;
Thirtysix births were reported dur
ing the week-22 males and IA fe-
males. Twenty-Five deaths were report.

Contractor Says New Building VIII Be
Completed IN Sixty Days.

Work on the new high school gymna-
sum is now benig pushed with all ra-
pidity, and it is stated by Contractor
William Allen that unless something
more goes wrong with the brick supply
the building will be ready for use in
sixty days. For over month work on
Nthe building has been at a standstill
owing to the fact that no bricks could
be secured with which to build. The
contract provided that the building be
completed in two weeks from now, but
a provision was made for any scarcity
in material, so the time for the work
has been extended.
The building as it stands now is COM
plete for one story, as far as the ma
sonry work is concerned. It is divided
off into three sections, one being a west
wing for training-room for boys, an
other being an east wing for the girls
and the third, the main part, including
the gymnasium proper. The wings are
to be two stories in height and the
center part is to be three stories high.
The brick work has been completed up
as far as the running track, which is
to be half way between the first and
second stories. On both the north and
south sides Of the building are to be
two bay windows, which will extend up
ene 1uii Inree storles' Inc distance
from the gymnasium floor to the ceiling
Of the second floor will be, twenty-five
feet. On the third floor is to be a
large assembly hall, with an eighteen
foot ceiling, The gymnasium floor and
the assembly room are both to be 50xs0
feet in dimension.
The building is to cost $4,000 and
is to be one of the best gymnasiums in
the West. The scarcity Of brick has
been all that has held the construction
work back, as the wood work and iron
work and stone has all been fixed ready
to set in as soon as brick could be Sc
cured
