the neighborhood of $4,000.
The canal will be twelve miles
long, and its estimated cost has been
stated at about $4,000, although
those intimately acquainted with the
project, are of the opinion that it
will not be so great.
The construction work at the res
ervoir will be expensive, costing. in
the neighborhood of $4,000. AL
though this cost is trivial when com
pared to the immense basins, that
will be prepared for receiving the
flood waters of the river. The con-
tour of the larger reservoir will be
over fifteen miles in length, while
the smaller will be- at least ten.
AS to how soon the work or a por-
ton of it will be completed, the men
back of the project have not given
out any definite information. 1t will
require probably twelve months to
construct the dam. The work on
this will be begun with small farce,
ry soon, which will be enlarged and
he work pushed vigorously after the
harvest season of this year.

This will make the total taxx for
Winnemucca $2.10 on 500 assessed
valuation, and Lovelock $2.35, as
against 1920 and 1915, respectively,
last year.
However, the state tax has not yet
been fixed ly the legislature for the
ensuing two years, SO it was left in the
levy at 10 the same as for the past
two years. State Controller Eggers has
recommended to the legislature that the
rate be reduced to so, and if this
recommendation is followed out, the
1909 tax in Winnemucca will be 2 per
elt, and in Lovclock 2.25.
The order of last month calling a
specia election to vote on the high
school site was revoked, and the regis
tration books called in.
Before revoking the special election,
the comw issioners failed to establish the
two county high schools, and it was not
unit the law was presented to them by
the district attorney that the mo tier was
Strengthened out, and the two high
schools established.
1t will be noticed that the commits
sioners allied to levy tax for the main
tenance of he hig:. schools, and it is
said that there is loop hole in the law,
whereby, the commissioners can evade,
he actual institution of the high school
The law is now being investigated by
onr representatives at Carson and it is
probable, an anne ,dment to the law will
te put through that will compel the
commissioners to esta blish the two high
schools, with no more dilly -dallying.
As one LOvelock citizen said yesterday,
"'rhe whole base work OF the compro-
mise on the high SET ool question, was
that Winnemucca should act in good
faith, and here now the north end COM
niissioners are evading the question on
an almost impossible technecality.
Lovelock is going to have that high
school next fall. She needs it, She
Is entitled to it, and She is going to
have it, and the sooner the disgruntled
north end commissioners, understand
this the better,

CONSTRUCTION WORK
SOON TO BEGIN ON
BIG RESERVOIRS

By the fore part of next week,
the preliminary steps toward the
actual construction work of the
Humboldt reservoirs, will have been
taken, when State Engineer Nicholas
and party of Lovelockers proceed
to the site of the big project, and
there carefully 60 over the details of
the undertaking and lay the plans
for the preliminary work.
The construction work can be
classed under three heads. First the
immense dam in the river at the
point where the water is to be taken
out, secondly, the canal to convey
the waters to the reservoirs, an
third, the construction work on the
reservoirs proper.
The dam will be located at point
in the river about two miles from
Mill City. 1t will be 225 feet long,
from seven to eight feet high, and
built of concrete. 1t will contain an
immense headgate, and amply pro
visions will be made for flood season.
The estimated cost of the dam is in

Following the issuance, at Winnemuc.
ca last Tuesday by Judge Pike of bench
warrent for the arrest of Chas. Torrey
the latter has disappeared from Lovelock
and his present where abouts isunknown
The contempt OF court, is based on the
failure of rorrey to comply with Il pre-
vious court decree, compelling him to
pay to his wife toward the support and
maintenance OF herself and their children
the sum OF $40 month alim) p,ndenle Q
lite.
Sometime ago an action was brought
by Mrs. Torrey for divorce 4 cross
complaint was filed by Torrcy, and in
consideration of the matter and upon
the recommendation If Mrs. TO,iey's
attorney, l.. &. Campbell, the court de-
creed, the husband should pay to his
wife $40 month, while the suit was
pending.
Torrey took The court decree with bad
grace, and has parted with the $40 Il
month in a very halting manner failing
to pay once before heMa confined in the
county Jail until the money was forth
coming.
On the present occasion he is three
months in areas. 1t has probably oc
cured to him that it would be easier to
fly to unknoan parts than to pay the
$l20. The bench warrcrlt can be served

DISTRICT BOOSTERS TO
APPEAR in BLACK
face

Lovelock is to enjoy big treat to-
night when they meet the black
faced minstrels face to face from
the Seven Troughs district. The
merry boys from the Seven Troughs
are to be here at noon today and
they are going to have a street pa
rade. Tue minstrels gave their in
itial performance in Mazuma a week
ago last Monday night, and their
success was instantaneous. The
people of Seven Troughs patroniz.d
the show to every MN, woman AMI
child of them, and they went there
expecting to have show which they
could josh and have all kinds of fun
with: but to their surprise they
found stage full of talented people
and the entertainment was enjoyed
to the limit.
The people of Lovelock who were
present at the show are unit in
their praise of it. They declare thai
there never has been a better show
in the county, AID that is going
some. In the first place they had an
orchestra the like of which had never
been seen before in Seven Troughs,
and when the curtain rolled up there
was chorus of twenty singers In
black coats and duck trousers, and
they were at every mark in the road
The second part, the oil 10 of the
show, was OF such nature that the
kandience was surprised into a display
vof the greatest enthusiasm. From
the time that the curtain went up
until it dropped on the closing act,
there never was moment that Was
not filled with the keenest enjoy.
ment.
Now that the bunch Of boosters
are among US, let Lovelock get toge IT,
or and give them reception which
will be worth while. They are a lot
of good fellows and the success OF
the Seven Troughs means the further
prosperity of Lovelock.

LULL in WOOL MARKET

The Eastern wool market is quiet,
at 15c.
A prominent wool buyer says in re-
gard to local conditions.
"There is lull in the local market
at present. Practically all of last
years clip has been delivered and
shipped. The new clip for the state
is estimated at 6,500,00O pounds, and is
has nearly all been sold at around l5c.
as against IL and 12c last year. An
other encouraging feature of the situa
ton is the fact that the present year 5
clip has been sold outright, and will
lie paid for ON delivery, while last year
nearly all the wool was bought on cou
signment.
t'Shearing will begin about the o0tL
If this month, and the clip will com
mence to move about the first OF
April"

new R. R. ORDER WILL
give ADDED fire
PROTECTION

Loveock will have added protec-
tion in case of fire. This was se-
cured by delegation of Lovelock
citizens, headed by w. C. Pitt, visit
ing E. g. Manson, General Superin-
tendent. of the Oregon Short Line
Railroad company at his private car
which passed through here Monday,
with party of prominent officials
aboard and presenting to them
formal request that the Southern
Pacific pumping plant at Lovelock be
connected with the town pumping
plant, so that in case of fire water
would be available from both sources.
The order for the connection of
the two pipe lines will be of mu-
tual advantage. Both the property
of Loveock citizens AMI that be-
longing to the Compony, will be
donbly protected in water supply for
fire fighting.
Connecting the pipe lines will not
cost you anything, accept your good
will" stated Mr.. Manson, "0h we'll
you know Mr., Manson you always
have that" replied Mr.. Pitt, spokes-
man for the party, with laugh.
well, | don't know about that" re-
pl:ed, the railroad Superintendent,
! and he continued with a discussion of
the bill before the legislature pro-
viding for three brakemen on all
trains stating that the railroad
company had no more need for three
brakemen than he, the superintend
ent had for ten legs. He complained
that the state of Nevada. gave the
railroad company twice as much
trouble as the state of Utah. "We
want to be on the most friendly
terms" he said, with the people of
the state, and we will always go half
way to settle any differences. Let
us know your complaints. "How
about a terminal rate for Nevada"
asked A. l. Bachrodt. out OF my
department" replied Mr. Manson, and
he waived the matter to h. W. Clapp,
district freight and passenger agent,
who said:
hope your chances to go to
heaven, are better than your chances
to obtain terminal rate in Nevada.
God Almighty Disseminated against
the state when He located it on the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada
mountains None of the officials
cared to discuss the terminal ques-
tion and the talk was switched to
other channels.
A portion of the business trans
acted by Superintendent Manson dur
ing his visit here was in issuing or
ders to the Tonopah Lumber Comp
any and The Frey Lumber Company,
that they would be required to moye
back off from the railrood right of
way, because as he explained of in
surance, and other matters" A lease
on right of way for the erection of a
gasoline tank was granted to e. :.
Floyd for the company he represents
in the Seven Troughs district.
At this time the whistle of num-
ber ten approaching from the west
sounded. The town delegation shook
hands with the railroad officials, ami
! the private car was attached to the
outgoing number ten and was whirei
eastward across the desert to that
delightful little village Of Winnie
mucca.

The chief difference between the
average hotel cell and the average
prison cell, viewed from the stand
point of social psychology, is that
one is locked on the inside to keep
outsiders out, while the other is
locked on the outside to keep in
siders in. The occupant of the
hotel cell is afraid that something
will be done to him or that some
thing will be taken from him by
some one who ought to be In a
