1t was also proposed to build dam at
the outlet Of Lake Tahoe SO Al to regu-
late the flow of Truckee river and retain
the water at the time Of the floods and
prevent 1t from going to waste. until 1t
is needed for the crops There are sew
eral power plants along that river oper-
atinE sawmills, pulp mills and manufac'
turing Industries. The owners OF these
plants entered a remonstrance against
the plans of the reclamation service, and
after a long controversy an agreement
was reached, to avoid litigation. under
which the various private interests were
consolidated in one company and entered
into a contract with the government to
share equally the expense OF building
storage works to conserve tbs water.
The private company is to pay one-half
the expense and have the use OF the
water for manufacturing purposes: the
government is to pay the other half OF
the expense and have the use OF the
water for irrisatins purposes This ar.
ranEement was approved by Secretary
Ballinger shortly after he came into ofilce
last spring.
But he afterward refused to sign the
contract and the papers are still lying on
his desk. In the meantime the private
companies have been going ahead on
their own expense building the dam. which
is nearly finished. They have put the gov
eminent in a hole, and will soon be In
a position to dictate the terms If its
managers choose to do so.
Cost Of the Improvement.
The government has already spent more
than 5000. 600. and will spend about 81
900 before the project is complete
About 100000 acres are now under canals
but 10000 acres will be short of water
until the dam proposition at Lake Tahoe
is settled. The work is 30 per cent COM
pleted. with 1O8 miles of main canals and
$50 miles OF laterals: 81, los, 900 worth OF
land has already been sold at $50 an acre
AS soon as the land 10 all paid for the
irrigating works will be turned over to
the settlers, to be managed for and by
themselves The annual tax for the use
Of the water is 20 cents an acre
About 800 farms, averaging eighty acres
each, are under cultivation. and large
crops of alfalfa. sugar beats. grain OF
various kinds, potatoes. and other vege-
ables have been harvested this fall The
potatoes are especially good. equal &c

course until the body has time to produce

THE only sure cure for colds and

Part Of New Haven System Given Up,
Although Paying Well.

Poughkeepsie, Oct. IA stretch Of
about twenty miles of the Central New
England railroad, including half dozen
passenger and freight stations, win be
abandoned at midnight tonight. II is
the first time in railroad history in this
section that any part Of line which
is paying has been closed up and the
property along it abandoned.
The Central New England has taken
this action because the stretch Of rail-
