IRRIGATION
IN NEVADA

A telegram from Washington
concerning irrigation in this state
says:
On the Truckee- Carson project
active work on the Lahontan dam
has begun. A large force of men IS
employed on this structure and a
6rst-class outfit has been lin stalled
The work will be pushed actively
all winter and is expected to be
completed in the spring of 1913,
when 100000 acres will probably
be opened to the area of this pro-
ieet. A good share of this I'D
ditional land belongs to the gov
ernment and it includes some of
the choicest tracts on the project.
On oil the interesting things on the
rruekee-Carson project has been
the planting OF considerable acre
age to fruit. Horticulturists pre-
dict thai the Truckee Carson is
going to be a second Yakima Val

ey. Soma OF the trees which
were planted when the project was
first opened in 1905 are now in
bearing and the fruit is of excell
ent color, fine flavor and perfect
shape. Apples, pears apd cherries
are the principal varieties of trees
planted. There are also a few
peaches. The apple crop is es-
pecially promising.
TIL is the first year of sugar
beets IN the Truckee-C Carson Sec
tion. The sugar factory has just
been completed at a cost of $780,
600 and several thousand acres
were planted in beets this year.
An interesting feature on this
project mas been the successful
farming of the Indians on their al
loted lands. For the first time
they have been induced to plant
alfalfa and their crops this year
were good.

may be twice in as many nights
and then week may pass before
he makes another slaughter.
Although close watch has been

but once and then just as he was
