day evening angurs well for the under
taking. The crowd waa gathered in
response to tg4ue- from Mr.. c. J.
Blanchard, the Reclamation Depart
ment's statislieian, who is also the
publicity man Of tie department. He
and others familiar with local conditions
have realized for q eng time the crying
need for just sueh ~ organization as
was perfected Wednesday evening
In his remarks to the crowd Mr..
Blanchard stated in part. that during
the season about closed, water had been
running through canal system which
could have supplied water TO five hun
dred farms, which mad lain idle during
this period, because nc settlers had
elected TO take this land. He pointeo
out that such Il condition was unknown
In other projects where construction
work was in earlier stagea, but that
aettlera has rushe ii, built towns ana
established their communities, in somt
instances two years ahead OF the deliv-
cry Of water while in the Truekee Car
son project, water was being delivered
and the settler was absent Such a
condition was deplorable one, and il
casting abont for the cause, large part
Of the blame must fail upon the loca,
business interests, because during tn,

and half million dollars have beel
expended by the government in bringing
