APPROVES THE WORK DONE
The Army Engineers Approve
Unqualifiedely the Work of
the Reclamation Service.

1t is seldom that a report on an i'm
portant public work has afforded us
greater satisfaction than that recently
made by the army engineers who were
appointed to investigate the work so
far done by the United States reclama-
tion service. We were particularly
anxious that the report should be ia
vorable, and this for the reason that
the engineers in charge of this great
project have been permitted to carry it
on without that political interference
which in the past have been SO often
disastrous to work of this character.
The organization of the engineering
staff of the reclamation service is ex-
cellent; the men have been carefully
selected; and they have done their
work with an esprit de corps and zeal
which have won for this project the un-
qualified commentator of the technical
press. The army engineers are noted
for the strict impartlality with which
they investigate public work on which
they are called to report, and such
criticisms as they have made on the
work of the Reclamation Service show
that IN this particular they have spoken
without fear or favor.
For these reasons, the nation is to be
congratulated on the fact that the
board considers the engineering struc-
lures of the various projects to be on
the whole well designed and well built.
Some of them, as the Pathfinder Dam,
the Shoshone Dam, the Roosevelt Dam
and the Gunnison Tunnel, are monu-
ments rehecting great credit on both
designer and builder" Regarding the
cost of the works, the Board states
that il has almost invariably exceeded
the original estimate, and hat this in
creased cost has naturally caused great
discomfort among the settlers. II was
due partly TO a general increase in The
cost of labor and material; partly to un-
derestimates and an insufficient allow
ance for contingencies; and partly to
the necessity for doing more work than
was originally contemplated. In justice
10 the engineers, it should be pointed
out that at the time the works were
started, the question of low cost was
not made paramount, the Executive,
indeed, having made 1t understood that
every possible means was to be used TO
hurry forward the various undertake
ings. The experience gained in these
earlier works, however, has made it
possible TO estimate very closely the
cost of the later projects. In any case
it is fact that although many of the
works cost much more than was esti-
mated, they have been built at lower
cost than works of the same character
that were constructed at the same time
in the eastern states. Scientific Am.

Albert N. Burd Passes Away.

Albert NJ. Burd, a practicng attof-
ney, who mas made this place his home
for five years, passed away Tuesday
morning at his office on Maine street,
after an illness of pneumonia lasting
two days. Deceased was formerly in
comfortable circumstances, but at the
time of death was without funds and it
is believed that dependency brought
about by his financial condition had
much to do with fastening his demise.
Kind hands ministered to his last
wants however, and everything possible
was done to alleviate his sufferings.
Following death, which seemed inevita-
bic from the outset, the remains were
embalmed and will be shipped on to-
days train to Woodruff, III. Inter
ment will be held at that point, where
near relatives reside.

on Government projects are very desir-
able, the committee fails to find any
authority of law for expending any
part of the reclamation fund on such
farms. They should be maintained en-
tirely at the expense of the department
of Agriculture, it is held.
As to the size of farm units, the
committee says: "All things consid-
cred, the department is to be compli-
mented upon the success thus far at
tanned in establishing the farm units,
but in special cases it may be found
necessary to increase or diminish acre
age heretofore prescribed. This is
the nearest approach to commentator
of the Reclamation Service that is con-
tanned in the whole report.

.FERALEY SENTIMENT FAvORS
Churchill County is Regarded
With Favor By Residents
of New District.

Our Fernley correspondent says that
Churchill county sentiment has by far
the upper hand in Fernley district and
that Yerington reports of Lyon coun-
ty meeting being held in Fernley is a
pure cloth fabrication and nothing else.
The chief difficulty presented to date
anent the agitation for annexation to
this county of this much coveted and
promising district lies, so it is said, in
the lack of leadership. Everyone
wants annexation, but no one feels
that it is incumbent upon him to press
the matter. We understand, however,
that E. j. Barrow, l.. l.. Wheeler and
others of the leading citizens in Fern
ley district are now at work upon the
undertaking and that literally signed
petition will result, asking for the
change.
Should this be brought about the
credit will be due to the loyal Fernley-
ties, who see the true advantages of
becoming Churchill county citizens and
to our Legislative delegation, which is
lending every legitimate effort in aid
ing the movement. Figured from the
standpoint of equity and justice, the
territory is Churchill county's. 1t once
belonged to US but was lost in sharp
practice legislative shuttle during a
session when Lyon county's delegation
was composed of longheads and Chur-
chill county's representatives were un-
suspecting, credulous sorts of carpet
bagging politicians, who didn't see the
joke until they had lost for their con-
stituehts a very valuable strip of land.
In asking for the restoration of the
former boundary lines, this county is
simply demanding what is right, just
and equitable, but will the members of
the legislature see it this way? Let US
hope they will.

A Ask For Taxpayer 5
Meeting.

This paper received a telegram from
A. X. Merritt and w. II. Williams, as
semblymen from this county, now in
Carson City attending to their legisla-
tive duties, which is self explanatory.
The telegram which follows emphasizes
the necessity of general attendance
at a meeting called for Saturday eve-
ming at the courthouse. The telegram

ing at an early date and formulate a

Perhaps the most important business
to come before this meeting will have
to do with the Fernley districts annex

the people of the district affected would
be served more conveniently both in
county seat and irrigation project af-
fairs by the change.
Then, as suggested, there are GER
tain changes proposed in the county's
salary budget. There is also the mat
ter of preparing for passage bill hav-
ing to do with legalizing the towns
past acts, and it is not improbable that
an amendment or two may be put for
ward by the Churchill county delega-
tion to the general incorporation law
doing away with certain salaried of
fcers and making others including the
marshal, subject to the mandates of
the council.
These matters are all of vital impor-
2 tanee to this community and county.

THIS STATES AGRICULTURE
Future Is Presaged By Activity
OF Private Irrigation Com
panies Under Carey Act.

With nearly a million acres of desert
land taken up in this State under the
Carey Act and with applications in for
much more, it appears that in few
years Nevada, instead of being known
as land of deserts and sagebrush COW
cred hills, will be known as the land of
farms, orchards and gardens. Large
corporations have taken up thousands
of acres in many parts of the State and
irrigation projects are now being con-
structed for the irrigation of this fer
tile desert land. When the water is
placed on this soil there will be homes
for thousands. Nevada has discovered
that by the proper storage of water
and the proper distribution of the same
the deserts can be made to bloom, and
that the real growth of the State depends
upon the farms this State will produce,
more than upon the rich, producing
mines which the State can boast of at
the present time.
By the Carey Act 1000, 600 acres of
land were set aside in this State to be
taken up and cultivated and at the
present time only 13013 acres remain
not segregated, making over 999, 869. 50
having been taken up by corporations
under the Carey Act.
All of this land has been taken up in
the past two years, since c. L. Deadly
has boen Surveyor General of the
State, and he has, as a result, become
known as ''The Father of Carey Act
in Nevada" " In speaking of the good
work being done in an agricultural way
in this State under the Carey Act, Sur
veyor General C. L. Deadly says:
There is no industrial question of
greater Importance, or which demands
the attention of the people of the State
Of Nevada more, than the subject of
irrigation and the reclamation and set
tlement OF her arid-lands. Upon the
control and economic application of the
waters to the soil depend the growth
and future prosperity of the State.
''This is a question that has COM
manded the attention of our citizens
since Nevada become State.
"There are millions of acres of lands
in Nevada, which can only be made
available for agricultural purposes by
conserving the waters of the rivers and
streams which rise in the mountains
and are fed during the Summer season
by the melting SHOWS which accumulate
during the winter months.
"These streams are swollen during
the Spring and early Summer, and the
waters find their way to the sinks or
lakes in the lowest valleys, where they
evaporate during the dry season. To
store these waters before they are
lost SO that they can be utilized in irri-
gation, public and private capital is at
present directed.
In many instances landowners indi-
vidually and comparatively have di-
verted the streams from their natural
channels, and by conveying the waters
upon the lands by means of canals and
bitches from storage reservoirs and ar
tesian wells have transformed sage
| brush deserts into fields of waying
grain and alfalfa.
"As nearly all the available waters

HUNDREDS OF TONS OF CARP

Mud Lake Is Wiped Out.

Der c. Hale, chief clerk of the state
lake in the southeastern part of Idaho
just before his return to the city from
his vacation.
"Bear river is not the direct outlet
of Bear lake. as many suppose" said
Mr.. Hale. Bear river flows through
Mud lake and there is a short stream
that empties Bear lake into Mud lake.
Some years ago the carp was in
troduced into Mud lake. They have
multiplied with wonderful rapidity.
They were not disturbed. Being a
low grade fish, nobody seemed to care
to catch and eat them, especially as
there was an abundance of fine high
grade fish in Bear lake. near by. AS
a result Mud lake fairly swarmed with
great fat carp.

ART GALLERY TO TEACH BOY
Costly Collection of Colonial Prints
Placed In Magnificent Newport
Home to Instruct Youth.

Providence, r. Ito teach his
young son, heir to millions, the prln'
ciples of patriotism and the great
events in American history, Marsden
J. Perry of this city has had placed In
his magnificent Newport summer home
the finest collection of colonial prints
in this country.
AS a central figure In an elaborate
system OF training worked out before
his birth and constantly improved up
on during the few years that have up
to now passed over his head, Mars
den J. Perry. Jr., is the subject OF one
OF the most costly experiments In
education yet recorded.
The study of America and its his
tory has been one of the things In
which it has been long planned young
Marsden shall specialize. and better
TO do this the child has a private pic
ture gallery of incalculable worth and
illustrative of the great periods OF his
native land placed before him as
first aid.
The remarkable collection OF prints
which are the envy of all wealthy col
lectors Of colonial objects, practically
cover the salient points of the United
States early progress. The wars, the
treaties, the famous scenes in the
courts and on the battlefields are all
depicted.
An upper hall in the Perry mansion
in Ocean drive is the gallery which
contains these prints. They cover one
entire wall, opposite to which is a
glass partition through which one gets
view of the sea.
Washington Entering New York
After the Battle of Trenton" Martha
Washingtons Reception" Franklin
at the Court of France" Franklin
at the Court of st. James," are the IT,
ties of some of them. Each picture Is
of practically the same size and
mounted in a carved and gilded frame
of simple design. They are the result
of years of collecting.
Years ago Mr.. Perry from time to
time added to a small beginning In
prints, picking them up, one here and
one there. Some came to light in old
farmhouses. Others were located in
the shop of some abscure dealer in
antiques. Still others were rounded
up by hired collectors who ran down
possible clews and made business OF
perfecting the collection.
AS yet no one has been permitted
to view these pictures. With the ex-
ception of the servants, the Perry
mansion has been deserted for weeks.
No one has been allowed to enter or
to remain about the grounds. With
in a few days, however, the family
will arrive to take possession for the
season, and the new picture gallery
will be under inspection. Also one OF
the most unique educational expert
ments known will have been begun.
