100000 Acres
are Now Ready

Supervising Engineer D. C. Henny
Of the Reclamation Service is at pres
ent in Washington to attend to urgent
matters in connection with the Pacific
district, which includes the Truckee-
Carson, Orland and klamath projects.
He states that the Truckee-Carson
project is now finished to the extent
that approximately 100000 acres are
covered by canals and bitches, and
that comparatively little construction
work will be done during the current
year. The work will be confined to
the putting in of small drops, culverts
and lateral headgates, for which pur-
pose at the present time several
small construction camps are being
maintained. The total area irrigated
last year was Il 900 acres, and the
settlement of public lands under the
project is proceeding at a rate which
is entirely satisfactory to the govern
ment. 1t is expected that heavy in
crease OF irrigated area will be re-
corded by the end fthe year

ADVISED TO STAY AWAY.

People returning from Rawhide say
there are between three and four
thousand people there and that at
least $500 of them are broke Gold
appears on the surface in liberal
quantities and there are great many
leasers at work, but wage earners are
advised to stay away. The supply at
present greatly exceed the demand,
and unless a man has the money to
hang around for some time until
larger operators come in he will find
himself in tough lines.

OepoSitorS in Other
Parts Of the State
Will be seen

The district court room was, crowd
ed with depositors and stockholders
of the State Bank and Trust com
pany last evening, called together
there to take action on the plan to
finance and open the institution by
Donald MacKenzi% the heaviest de-
positor il the institution.
The meeting was called to order by
Sam Platt, special council for the
reorganization committee Of the bank.
On motion OF S. l.. Lee Mr.. Platt was
appointed permanent chairman OF the
meeting and Henry Howard was ap-
pointed Secretary.
Mr.. Platt then addressed the meet
ing, stating his part in the affairs Of
the bank as special council for the
reorganization of the bank and then
launched out into the real purpose of
the meeting.
He recited a short history of the in
stitutions and spoke Of the general fl
nancial panic that had caused their
suspension He stated the bank had
been under the personal management
of its retired president, T. B. Rickey
and that the directors OF the institu-
ZION would have done something be-
fore but were waiting for Rickey to
keep his promises to them in regard
10 reopeniug the banks.
He then told of the offer by Donald
Mackenzie and asked the depositOrs
of the bank to thoroughly consider
the proposition of Mr.. Mackenzie as
through it would come the only sal
vation for the State Bank and Trust
company.
Mr. Platt then called upon Mr.. Jas.
r. Shaw, chairman of the reorganiza
tion committee.
Mr. Shaw told of the work of the
committee of its useless attempts to
get Mr.. Hickey to make good his
promises to finance the bank and
save it from a receivership.
He told of their inability to get any
one to finance the institution and Of
the committee recommendation to the
board of directors that the bank com
mission be asked to name a receiver
for the institution.
During this time, however all pos
sibie weight was being brought tt
bear on Mr. Mackenzie in an endeavOl
to get him to take over the banks
and finance them himself. At the
last minute he presented his PROPOSE
ton to the committee for considera
tion. Mr.. Shaw then read the one
of Mr.. Mackenzie to the depositOr
and those interested who we're in al
tendance.
The offer in full as received by tn
committee from Mr.. Mackenzie is a

Judge Denny, council tor Mackenzie
then addressed the gathering and stat
ed the reasons for Mr.. Mackenzie
coming to the front with his offer. He
said that the saving of the banks
meant as much to him as to almost
half the other depOsitOrs combined
and that he was willing to use his
private fortune in order to get back
his own deposit which amounts to
over 100000. He further stated that
Mr.. Mackenzie was willing to loan
100000 in coin to anyone who will
start off the bank. 1t was not his
desire to conduct the bank personally
but he had been forced to do SO in
order to save it from a receivership.
G. w. Mapes and S. L.. Lee, both
directors of the bank addressed the
Injecting, both calling on the deposit
ors to take a chance with Mr.. Mac.
Kenzie. Mr.. C. F. Cults then made a
motion that the plans Ssumbitted
be adopted and the motion after being
duly seconded passed unanimously.

San Jose Scale in Kansas.

Investigations made by c. F. Mason,
horticuhurist, showed that the San
Jose scale, which attacks and quick
ly kills apple and peach trees, has
gained a wide foothold in Wyandotte
county. In the vicinity of the Kansas
City university Mr.. Mason found many
apple and peach trees thick1y incrust-
ed with the scale, particularly in the
orchards of J. L. Williams and E. H.
Studt. 1.-THE San Jose scale costs the
farmers of this country millions of
dollars a year." Mr.. Mason said. "A
single pair will produce more than 81
-000, 100000 descendants in a year and
it is estimated that they will in that
time attack a territory of six square
miles. The only successful method of
killing the scale is by spraying the
trees with a lime-sulphur solution.
which burns the scale to death, or
with miscible oil, which suffocates
