President Taft has approved the
rC port OF the special board OF army
engineers recommending the appor-
tionment OF the new 100000, 900
fund provided by congress, among
the following reclamation projects in
the West.
Salt River, Ariz., $495, 900; Yuma,
Ariz., and California, $1,000, 900;
Grand Valley, Colo, $1,000, 900; I'm

Icy Utah, $2,272,0OO; Sunnyside aud
Tieton, at Yakia, Wash $1,250, 900
and $665,000, respectively.
The 100000 is to be spent
within the next five years and the
interest on the loan is to be charged
against the projects.
While it is not definitely announc
ed, yet it Is believed that the appro-
preparation of $1,193,000 for the
ruckee-Carson reclamation project
means that the big reservoir dam on
the Carson river projected for some
time, will be begun within the next
year, The dam is estimated to cost
$2,000,O00 and when completed will
hold back enough water to equalize
the supply of that part of the Lrojec
near Fallon, while the Truckee will
be given over to the reclamation of
the country around Fernley.

One difficulty with young children
is their habit of throwing their
arms outside of the bed covering.
Their hands become chilled and the
child wakes-which means broken
restfor the parents as well. This
can be avoided by simple plan
invented by an ingenious mother,
who made a sack of eiderdown for
her young child, in shape like
pillow case, with a hole cut in the
closed end. Cut the hole just larg
enough to go around the child's
neck, and open it down the back, far
enough to allow it to be put on ov-
er the child's head. The squaI e
co. ners will give room enough for
the child to move it's arms, withous
allowing them to become uncovered

STATE POLICE INVESTI.
GATE FLASH KILLING,
ELECTION DAY.

The State Police under instruc-
tions from the Governors office are
investigating the killing of Carl
Flash on the night of election day
about sixteen miles from lone, in
Nye County, with the result that
Sergent Taylor, the officer who con-
Quoted the investigation has sworn
out warrent for Adolphus Lebeau
and j. M. Byrne, charging them
with involuntary man slaughter and
h"r landed the man in Jail at Tono-
pah where their cases will come be-
fore the grand jury.
The story of the murder is one
which deals with the coward1ce or
an officer and the ignorance OF men
who carried out his instructions. On
the morning of election day Deputy
Sheriff Louis Reese of Lander coun-
ty arrived in lone in Nye County
with a warrent for the arrest of Gail
Flash, who had been charged with
stealing saddle and several other
minor articles. Flash bore bad re
reputation in that sectionas one
who was liable to steal anything
The deputy sheriff stayed around
the town the greater part of the
day during which time, Flash walk
ed up and down the streets. Late
in the afternoon, Deputy sheriff
Reese swore in Lebeau and Byrne
as deputies under him, an act which
he did not have the lawful right to
do. A little later, Flash saddled
UP his horse, and left lone, follow
ed by Reese and the newly made
deputies Lebeau and Byrne. 1t is
stated that after they had gone
from town for a short distance, Mr..
Reese returnedto town claiming that
his horse had given out and went to
bed. Before leaving the two young
men he had sworn in as deputies, he
ordered them to bring Flash In
dead or alive. About ten o'clock
that night the young men overlook
Flash about sixteen miles from lone
and killed him. They claimed that

they were forced to kill the IAN in
running fight, but when Flashes
revolver was picked up beside his
body, it was found that only one
cartridge had been fired.
The authorities had Flash's body
buried and there the matter seemed
to rest until complaint was made to
the Governors office when the State
Police were put on the case. 1t is
claimed that the authoritits of that
section did not care to take hand
in the matter as Flash bore a bad
reputation and the greater number
were pleased that he had been put
out of the way.
1t now is shown that Deputy sher-

Some time ago the senatorial COM
mittee, headed by Senator Carter of
Montana, viewed the project, stoppin
at Fallon and Reno. The Army
engineer board went over the same
ground and discussed the feasibility
of the dam. 1t is now believed that
congress has decided to go ahead
with the work, which will mean
great advantage to the ranchers
The project is devised to be self
maintaining and supporting Now
there are no extensions, to speak of,
on account of the scarcity of water,
in supplying the section adjacent to
With the assurance that the flood
waters of the Carson river can be ap
piled to land adjacent to Fallon and
that from the Truckee to the Fernle
district, there should be no further
about the water supply. Land has
been withdrawn from entry on this
account, and there was no show
for settlement to come under the
government pdoject until this diff
Guilty was remedied. The spending
of nearly two million dollors will
be a noticeable increase in the vol
ume of circulating medium within
the state, and still the increment of
wealth to the state will be but just
begun. AS each family comes to Ne
vada to make their home, and as
each acre producess its wealth of
crop after crop; the millions that 1t
has cost the government to construct
this great irrigation system will be
returned and Nevada will become
the land of happy and prosperous

Children should never be sent to
school thinly clad and without warm

little ones going to school even on

protection. At night, young child

their ordinary night clothes, and

wooden stockings. No one can sleep
soundly if their feet are cold.

iff, Louis Reese exceeded hisauthor-
ity, as he was not an officer of the
county in which he swore i'm the two

Cid not have the righ to swear in

law of the state does not give an
officer the right to use firearms up
on a man charged with misdeam-

Murphy celebrated his twenty-frst
birthday on April l. He was a native
of San Francisco and lived most OF
his life in the Mission district He
started out as a boxer when he was
barely Is years old, taking part in the
four round contests which were so
popular here before the fire. Johnny
was born fighter and forged rapidly
to the front
He quickly won his place among the
best of the second rate lightweights in
the business and. though he fought
some of the best men in that division,
he never knew what a knockout punch
felt like. He lost several close decisions
to such men as Cyclone Thompson and
Freddie Welsh, but none of them was
able to gain a decisive victory over the
little fellow.
Johnny was one of the best liked
fighters that California ever turned out
Straight and honest in every deal he
won the confidence of all the followers
of the boxing game. He was a hard
worker and always tried his best to
make good. He did not know what it
was to quit, though he was often sub
jected to hard beatings by heavier and
more experienced opponents
Murphy's future looked like a bright
one when he invaded New York last
summer. The Gotham promoters were
ready to stage him against the best of
them. when Johnny was seized with a
severe cold. 1t gradually grew worse
and he was forced to cancel all his en-
gagements and return to his native
state. He came home a shadow of his
former self
Johnny made brave fight against
the malady which held him in its cruel
grip, and last winter went to Honolulu
in the hope that the change of china te
would benefit him. However, he only
grew worse, and three months ago he
was brought home to die He knew
that the end was near, and when he
said farewell to his friends in this city
before departing for New Mexico, he
told them that he never hoped to shake
their hands again.
Murphy is survived by grand
mother, two aunts and an uncle. His
father and mother died some years ago
and a year ago his sister succumbed to
the same malady that cut his young
life short.
