Some of the most recent achieve
ments of government engineers, for the
watering of dry regions in the west,
seem well nigh miraculous. They ap-
peal strongly to the imagination, far
over-passJng, as they do, what would
have been deemed the impossible few
years ago,
Take, for example. the famous Forty
Mile desert, in western Nevada. The
region has long been an abode. of dread.
hundreds of people having died of thirst
while trying to cross it in the days OF
the rush of gold seekers to California.
If the shallow graves made for them
had been dug only few feet deeper;
unlimited quantities of water would
have flowed forth
All of this great sink, is beng
rapidly transformed into literal gar
den, 100000 acres have already a plen-
tiful supply of water and producing
crops suggestive Of the fabulous. The
first thing done by the engineers IN
this case was to turn the Truckee river
out of its bed. and carry its floods
through canal thirty-one miles long
over into the valley of the Carson
rivera feat deemed by experts the
most remarkable of its kind ever
known.
Only the Beginning.
But this was only the beginning. The
engineers thcreupon went up into the
mountains and tapped magnificent
sheet of wafer called Lake Tahoe-a
natural reservoir twenty-one miles long
end eleven miles wide, This, however.
is only one OF half score of lakes, In
the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas,
which are to be utilized in the same
way, q total area of 100000 acres be
ing eventually watered on this ''proi-
ent'i alone, which is known as the
Truckee Carson.
The old Forty Mile desert trail ran
rigated area, which IS today develop
ing into one of the garden spots OF the
world. 1t occupies the ancient bed of
very large lake. which seems to have
disappeared within historic times. AT
all events. the Indians in that part OF
the country have traditions In regard
10 it. The four principal rivers of Ne
Vada flowed into 1t for ages, bringing
silt which, deposited on its bottom, now
forms n soil Of amazing richness, hun
dreds of feet in depth.
Where there is not a lake at hand to
serve as a reservoir, the engineers make
one. They pick out suitable place
among the hills, where there Is a hollow
that will serve as gigantic tank, and
then they turn a river into it, damming
the gaps between the mountains TO pre-.
vent the water. from getting away. In
this way, in the Pecos valley of south
eastern New Mexico, they have created
n vast artificial body of water in a
natural basin, making the inclosure COM
plete by stopping FIVE gaps in the hills
with dams. This is on the so.called
Hondo project.
