FALLON CONTRAC-
TORS LAND BIG JOB

Wildes, Robinson G. Hammond re-
ceived word last week of the acceptance
Of their bid on three miles of fiuming
for the Eastern Oregon Land & Devel-
opment Company, to be constructed at
a point near Lakeview, where the Ber-
ney brothers are now working. Al
together something like two million of
feet will enter into the construction of
the flume and it is figured that some
thing like year will be required to
complete the contract.
One member of the firm will leave
within few days for the Lakeview
section and will be joined shortly after
wards by another, while Mayor M. L.
Wildes will remain in Fallon through
out the summer to complete the local
contracts of the firm.

PROJECT IN DEPENDABLE STATE
Charitable Impulses of Power
Companies Governs the
Water Supply.

The only disturbing phase of the wa
ter supply question in this project at
the present time lies in the fact that
the charitable impulses of the power
companies that control the outlet to
Lake Tahoe govern the project s supply
of irrigation water. Just now, more
than half of the water being used
comes from the lake, with the amount
furnished by the Truckee river proper,
and the Carson river, constantly de-
creasing. Within another thirty days
! without the Lake Tahoe surplus a real
drouth would be on in these parts.
In connection with this subject it is
not at all probable that the power COM
panies would refuse to allow the sur
plus waters of the lake to be used in
the Truckee-C Carson system. In the
meantime. to guard against possibility of
this condition, it is necessary that the
Carson dam be built without delay. 1t
is noteworthy that the strongest
recommendations have been made to
the department by all of the govern
nent's field of officials, for the building
of the proposed dam. With the pas
sage of the reclamation bond issue it is
not thought that the work on this
project will be long delayed.
The lower Carson dam site Is II, 200
acres in ext. Mt and will hold when the
proposed dam is completed something
like 290, 900 acre feet The dam has
not been designed, although the type
has practically been determined as be-
ing of the gravity, rock filled kind. to
cost something like $3.50, 000 1t would
not be surprising to those who are in a
position to know something of the
progress of reclamation affairs, if the
work on this dam should be started
under way by the government during
the present year.

ISSUES HIS ORDERS FOR FEWER ARRESTS

After making personal and friendly talk to the policemen of the ceptral sta- ton yesterday, Chief Bodeker lsrt night mailed orders to the sergeants of zthe other precincts relative to the reducing of the number of unnecessary arrests. The letter is as follows:
 Sergeant -
 Several times since I have been chief of the police department I have instruct ed the officers of the department to les sen the number of arrests for minor of- lenses. There are still far too many ar rests for offenses that should never come int ocourt, but be settled by the officer and the offender. Out of the last 14OO ar rests there were about 400 cases dismissed in police court.
 That shows that some one is using bad discretion, and I insist that this be stopped, and not so many arrests made for minor offenses. I will be glad to see the number /of arrests cut down to 800 within the next 30 days.
 You must remember that we are all human and make some mistakes. If any consequences develop from action taken on account of this order I will assume ail the responsibility and see that the officer is not mistreated. want you to devote your special efforts to arresting thieves, blind tigers and similar offenders.
 This kind of work will greatly lessen and facilitate the work of the three re- corders' courts and will save many citi- zens the humiliation of appearing in po- lice court on trivial charges. Hoping you will use your best efforts to carry out these orders, am, yours truly,

Allen J. Krebs, who has been a builder and contractor in Birmingham for many years, was in Atlanta several days ago at which time he requested R. M. Clayton, city engineer of Atlanta, to fur nish him with the cost of viaducts In that city. MT. Krebs has received that in- formation and in an interview yesterday he said the city of Atlanta, in some in stances. constructed viaducts and bridges without the aid of the railroads, while in other instances the railroads constructed the viaducts without any aid from the city
 T was in Atlanta a few days ago. said MT. Krebs ''at which time I secured some information that is of more or less value to the people of Birmingham. I am very anxious to assist in solving the via- duct question for Birmingham, and feel no hesitancy in giving out this informa- ton. Atlanta has solved the question of viaducts very wisely and if this informa- ton will help the City Council they are welcome to 1t.
 Tn Atlanta there has been no fixed principle about who is to stand the cost of viaducts or underpasses, but each problem has been met and solved in a way fair to both interests.
 The talk about the First avenue via duct in Birmingham costing a million dollars is pure exaggeration. It will cost nothing like that amount, and it Is a mis- take to confuse the peoples minds by creating the impression that 1t is such an enormous undertaking.
 T am absolutely opposed to the clos ing of any streets. It is unnecessary, and in this day and time engineers and without the necessity of closing streets. !"
 The communication to MT. Krebs from R. M. Clayton, city engineer of Atlanta, bridges and viaducts in the City of Allan ta:
 Statement showing original cost of and viaducts in the City of Atlanta:
 Forsyth street bridge, over tracks of W. & A. and Central railways: Total cost, $19o. .437.Sl. Entire cost paid by city.

 WANTS AN ARCADE
VERY ENCOURAGING AND MER- CHANTS BELIEVE THEY WILL SOON BEGIN STRINGING LIGHTS

First>avenue merchants are determined meeting held yesterday afternoon the merchants along First avenue to Twenty third street agreed to light that ave- nue with an arcade similar to the one on Third avenue. To this end a com- mittee was appointed yesterday after noon to solicit subscriptions to the gen. eral fund and a report will be made at meeting to be held within a,few days The merchants on First avenue have been discussing the question of Sn ar cade for some time. However, since the Shubert theatre was located on that ave nue, the matter has taken on new life and is now on the way to realization.
 The merchants have not secured enough money absolutely to insure the erection of the arcade, but enough has been raised to make the matter very promising.
 we are determined to erect an arcade on First avenue" said H. J. Porter yes terday. We have been holding meetings for several weeks trying to solve the problem and I think everything is now in fine condition. We have been given the most promising receptions by all the merchants that would be benefited and hoE 'e announce positive date for the arcade's erection soon."
 With Third avenue illuminated; Second avenue graced with an arcade, and First avenue brilliantly lighted not to men, ton part of Twentieth street, and the Vast number of private signs, Birming- lam would unquestionably .ake rank as one of the best lighted cities sl the CT tire country.

J. A. Matthews said: "I have not en- tered into the railroads offer very thor oughly but from what has been presented me from outside sources think the offer of the railroads is primarily fair The railroads have requested the city to close some streets The streets are already closed and if opened the city would derive very little from them. I believe the rail roads should be encouraged as much as possible in all matters of Improvements.
 .sThe railroads have been at great ex- pense this year and the executives have been hard pressed to solve economic prop- lems and carry on their work. The com mon carriers have been very good to Bir- mingham and have assisted Birmingham greatly. This being true no city or mu- nicipality should rush at the throat of railroad or corporation and grapple with if on a matter that should be settled without any serious difficulty to either party

William 6. Mudd

William s. Mudd said: When Il comes to a question of closing up the streets of Birmingham I do not believe the city of Birmingham has any au- thority to close them. As l under stand the law the legislature only has the right to close streets and any ac- ton on the part of the city would not be legal.
 q am in favor of building the via ducts, but I would not like to see the city or the railroads get the better of the argument. The two interests should get together and solve the question like one firm. The matter of viaduct af- focts the city and railroads alike. The one eliminates serious grade crossings for it's citizenf while the railroads free themselves of a serious damage prob lem and also they create in the minds of the people an Idea that they wish to do everything possible to help out the people.
 "The railroads have contributed no little in solving problems for Birming- ham and the city should not disregard this help. I believe the plan will be agreed upon. Perhaps not as it now stands but primarily as offered by the companies"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-08-11
Hugo Marx

Hugo Marx of the Ferd Marx store, said: q think the railroads are asking the city to do far too much in the matter of via ducts. The city should not close any streets. The aldermen should not con sent to pay any abutting property dam- ages and all the details should be looked into carefully before any action is taken.
 "The matter of a viaduct for the city of Birmingham is serious affair and should be carefully mapped out. No charges should be taken of the future nor should there be any doubts as to the actions of the railroads in the future. l do not believe in taking advantage of the rail- roads nor would I consent to see them made the victims, but at the same time every attention should be given their proposal by the city and nothing done in haste"
