ment it is to be hoped that the cut In
this appropriation will be taken into the
courts. 1t is asserted with some reason
that the aldermen lack authority to cut
this item in the budget They ought
not to have such authority. They lack
the necessary information TO determine
how large the uncollectible taxes are
and in this instance they have taken no
pains to find out Merely to deceive

RANCH PROPERTY BURNED

A fruit train on the Western
Pacific Saturday forenoon started
several fires on the ranches east
Of town that destroyed a good deal
of property. On the Henderson &
Griswold ranch fifty acres of
pasture were burned over, twenty
five tons of hay, over a quarter of
a mile of fence and stock and hay
corrals were burned. On Mrs.
Green's ranch 25 acres of pasture,

were destroyed. On the Bruce

fence and corrals. Mr.. Fernald
suffered less than his neighbors as
he lost only "a acres of pasture
The fires started about 10
o'clock in The forenoon just after a
fruit train passed east. AS soon
as the fire were discovered, the
ranchers and section men began a
fight that lasted until after 3
o'clock in the afternoon. A re-
quest for help wss sent to town
and three or four automobile loads
of fire fighters responded.
The fires started outside of the
right of way and were caused by
sparks from the engine of the fruit
train. The Western Pacific
engines are not provided with
hoods ur screens and Goals of fire
are thrown from the smoke stacks
into the grass and dry stuff along
the track. This is not the frs
fire that has started from this
source and it may not be the last,
but to an outsider it would seem
good business for the railroad
company to properly equip it's
engines with the necessary ap-
partus to prevent the scattering
of .fire-brands and the consequent
destruction of property.
The total loss by Saturday s
fire is roughly estir ated to be from
lSl5O0 to $4,000. Claims will he
presented to the railroad company
for the losses.

TRUCKER WATER.
PROJECT ORCHARDS

J. A telegram from Washington
concerning irrigation matters in
this state says:
On the Truckee-Carson Project
active work on the Lahontan dam
has begun. A large force of men
is now employed on this structure
and first class outfit has been
installed. 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 added to the open area
of the project. A good share of
this additional land belongs to the
government and it includes some of
the choicest tracts on the project.
One of tine interesting things on
the Truckee-Carson project has
been the planting of considerable
acreage in fruit. Horticulturists
predict that the Truckee-Carson
section is going to be second
Yakima Valley. Some of the trees
which where planted when the
project was first opened in 1905
are now in bearing and the fruit
is of excellent color. fine flavor and
perfect shape. Apples, pears and
cherries are the principal varieties
of trees planted. There are also a
few peaches. The apple crop is
especially promising.
This is the first year of sugar
bcets in the Truckee- Carson Sec
ton. The sugar factory has just
been completed at cost of 5000,
600 and several thosand acres
were planted in beets this year.
An interesting feature on this pro-
ject has been the successful farm
ing of the Indians on their allote 4
lands. For the first time they
have been induced to plant alfalfa
and their crops this year were
good.

CURIOUS TREE

The rain tree of Peru grows very
large is rich in leaves and is called
by the Indians tamaicaspi. 1t has
the power of collecting the damp
ness of the atmosphere and con.
densing, it into continuous and
copious supply of rain.
In the dry season, when the riv-
ers are low and the heat great. the
trees power of rondens1 seems
at the highest and water falls in
abundance from the leaves and ooz
es from the trunk. The water
spreads around in veritable rivers
part of which filters into the soil
and fertilizes it. These rivers are
canalized so as to regulate the
course of the water.
ltsis estimated that one of the
Peruvian rain trees will on the av.
erage yield nine gallons of water
per diem. In a field of an area
OF one kilomcter square--that is
1880 feet each way can be
grown 10000 trees separated from
each other ny twenty-five meters
This PLANTATION produces daily $685..
600 liters of water. If we allow
for evaporation and infiltration we
have $4,000 liters or 20, 531 gal
Ions of rain for distribution daily.
The rain tree can be cultivated with
very little trouble, for it seems in.
