Organized for the purpose of develop
ing the agricultural resources of Humboldt
Valley by conservation and use of the
waste and unused waters.
Ten years ago, the u. S. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water in
the valley to irrigate 10000 acres of land.
Today, the Commissioner of Industry,
Agriculture and Irrigation says there are
only $4,000 acres of land under irri-
cation in the valley.
The profits that will return from recla-
nation of even part of that extra land
for which there is water will be very large
This is the largest and most important
irrigation project In Nevada, and about the
only large one left in the United States not
|'exploited.
The returns to stockholders will be very
large, and land owners and present water
users who take stock will receive benefits
not granted under any other project.
1t is expected that every person inter-
eSted In the future prosperity of Humboldt
Valley, or who wants good investment,
will take stock in this company.

Mr.. de Mile is said to have done a
splendid piece of work. But it is no
discredit to him to add that the re-
sourcefulness and sensitiveness of Da.
vid Belasco have undoubtedly contri-
buted the lions share to the values of
his admirable play.
1t is predicted that one only need to
gee the management of the scene of
the hotel lobby to realize the master
touch, to observe how all things are
made to seem real, and yet to conform
to the general dramatic plan, with no
disconcerting intrusion of detail that
is merely clever, but that serves no
useful purpose. The mere handling of
the telephone switchboard in the first
act, during scenes where it must be
busy and might interrupt important
matter, is said to be in itself lesson
in stage management.

making his first extensive tour of the
country. This unusually graceful and
clever young man became famous in a
single night when he danced the orig
inal role of Prince Danilo in the first
production of 'The Merry Widow" His
services in this part were demanded
by New York for two solid years. Then
the following year was divided be-
tween Boston and Philadelphia. Next
he was featured by Charles Frohman
in the New York presentation of The
Dollar Princess" and remained in that
for two years, appearing only in New
York, Chicago, Boston and Philadel-
phia.
Mr.. Frohman elevated him to star
dom and presented him in The Siren"

cessful of all musical comedies in re-
cent years. Brian played this for al
most a year in New York and is now
making his bow to the theatregoers of
the nation in the same vehicle and sup
ported by the original company Of
well-known artists seen with him dur
ing the long run of the piece at the
Knickerbocker Theatre in New York.
The story of ''The Siren is a pretty
one and far above the ordinary plot of
such offerings in the nature of the logic
and coherency of the theme. Brian is
seen in the role of gay young mar
ouis whose fancy runs to the writing
of humorous verses. He goes a little
too far when he writes things consid-
cred highly seditious and derogatory to
the throne. The minister OF police Is
ordered to make an example OF the
young and noble culprit. In order TO
fasten this crime on the marquis the
police chief must have a specimen OF
the marquis handwriting.

piece is not altogether due to the in.

is partly due to careful management
