Bridge Gives Way
Under Horse

Last Wednesday morning as Chas.
Schuman was crossing the river bridge
at the Henry Heitman rancn with
Stnntney Rodger he large stallion,
the ground covering the ahutment OF
the bridg suddenly gave way under
the stallion precipitating him into the
large cavity which it was found the re-
cent high water had undermined. Ii
was only after very hard struggle
that the horse was rescued and then
after he had been severely brui-ed
aud otherwise injured.
For several days this week all traffic
over this road was obliged to go "a
round by the other bridge. However,
at this writing it has been placed in
repair and traffic has Eeen resumed.
The river has been exceedingly nigh
all this week and beside this incident
has caused considerable damage to all
the ranches bordering the river in the
valley.

Dear Miss Jordan.
Throughout the
great wave of sympathy for the strick-
en- city of San Francisco has resulted
in many striking instances of generos-
ity and kindness. Not the least of
these has been the spontaneous move
ment among the school children to re-
build the destroyed school houses of
the city by the Golden tate.
The first tenier of assistance came
from Galveston. whoes schools were
rebuilt after the destruction of that
city in 1900. by the school children
of the United States. This offer
was speedily followed by Others and
considerable fund has already been re
ceived The first cash contributions
came from the Indian children of
Broken Arrow. Creek Nauino, Indian
Territory.
1t i the purpose of the School Re
construction Committee. consisting of
the Mayor. Board of Education. and
the Superintendent of schools. to uti-
lie these gifts for the sole purpose of
rebuilding the schools Ia order to
assist the movement, already 20 wide
spread. this committee has prepared
circulars and printed matter designed

schools setting forth the loss sustain
ed and the con litions in which the
School Department finds itself. Thir-
ty four schools. to replace which will

have been totally destroyed. What

The Duty Of Water

Geo ge f. West, head irrigation en-
gineer Tor this section and in the en-
ploy of the IT, S. Government, has
been in the valley this week He Is
carrying on system of experiments
at the Dangberg sage ranch to deter
mine the duty of water in this valley.
Mr. West states that the duty of water
here is high as compared with the
Lovelock valley, that is, le as water is
required here to irrigate land than in
that place. Figura lively speaking,
the duty of water in Carson valley
ranges bet ween > and 6 acre feet per
acre. In instances where the burrows
are one third mile long the water
duty is 6 and on quarter mile fu,-
rows 3. 1t follows from the above
tnat it requires less water to irrigafe
land when laid off III short furrows.
For the benefit of those who are not
familiar with the system of measure
ments used il might I've we'll to state
that an acre foot Is water one foot
deep over an acre of ground. The
foot system is used entirely by the
United States government. the inch
being an indefinite term.
