THE PROJECT ENGINEER.
Will Busy Himself In Interest
OF Farmers.

Protest Engineer d. W. Cole left on
Monday afternoons motor for Reno
and Lake Tahoe on government busi-
ness. During his absence he will prob
ably again confer with the farmers
who reside in the country tributary to
Reno relative to the disposition of the
Truckee river water. Lately the flow
recorded at the diversion dam at Derby
has been short from 90 to rs second feet,
but an average of 230 second feet hav-
ing been maintained for the past five
or six days. 1nasmuch as this is the
time of the season when water is
money Mr.. Cole is going to use bis
good Offices insofar as he can to see
that the farmers of this project get
their just deserts in the water appor-
tionment.
The farmers along the Truckee have
shown admirable qualities in time of
stress and have public spiritedly denied
themselves privilege they could
usurp, and tits not believed the present
shortage is attributable to anything
save carelessness on their part.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC VALUATION
Is Increased Substantially Over
The Figures On Last Years
Tax Roll.

The heaviest taxpayer on the 1912
Churchill county tax roll is the Central
Pacific Railway Company, as usual, the
sum of 1884. 1865 being assessed
against this company, divided as fol-
lows: real estate, 81, 1898, 1888, improve
ments, s2s, 995; personal, 1906, 537
In addition, the Nevada & California,
subsidiary company, is assessed for
1925, SD, making total railroad as
sessment of So, $50, 279. This is raise
over last years figures of 1857, 563.
The tax roll is in process of printing
at the present time, though it has not
been totaled as yet. Assessor Sitton
is positive that this years increase in
valuations as compared to last year
will approximate half million.

ABOUT OUR INSURANCE RATES
Mayor George Sherman Has Re-
ceived a Laudatory Letter
From Underwriters.

Though the board of underwriters
have granted no reduction in insurance
rates for Fallon, the project is in mind
as evidenced by the receipt of letter
by Mayor G. E. Sherman, touching up
on matters which the underwriters
wish corrected before acting definitely.
1t seems that the city's license tax up
on insurance companies doing business
in Fallon is Objectionable to the under
writer's, who threaten to include the
tax in the rates to be granted.
Another feature earnestly desired is
amendments to the present fire ordi-
nance, regulating more stringently the
practice of storage of petroleum pro-
ducts in the busines houses of the town.
To this end model fire ordinance has
been submitted and the council is busy
preparing amendments to the Lresent
ordinance to accord with the changes
desired. 1t is probable that the rates
will be made public within another two
weeks at the outside. The letter fol-

Hon. G. E. Sherman, Mayor,
FaIon, Nevada.
Dear Sir
Our surveyor has submitted 0fdi-
nance Nc. 22 of the City of Fallon, and
we wish TO call your attention to that
portion referring to use and storage of
petroleum products, also that part de-
fning the duty of the Fire Chief as
Fire Marshal. Would suggest that you
change the above sections to conform
to sections IA, Is, 16, II and Is on the
same subject under our model fire or
dinance, a copy of which you have.
Referring to the license tax on insur-
ance companies, will state that unless
the same can be repealed, it will be me-
cessary to include this charge in the
rates. We will hold rates until we
hear from you regarding the tax
You are to be congratulated upon
the excellent fire protection you have
installed. We hope it will be kept in
first-class condition, and that all Sec
tions of Ordinance No. % will be strict
ly enforced.
Your early reply on the subject of
license tax will be appreciated.
Yours truly,
w. j. DUvAL
District Secretary.

FACTS ABOUT STAMPS;
Not Generally Known BY Those
Who Use Them,

""S NV essSssss
Reports Of the bureau Of engraving
and printing, when taken ~ Z manus
factory, show some astonishing figures.
Take, for instance, the single item Of
postage staripsj that Is, without the
revenue and customs, which, by the
bureaus own classification. fall Under
a separate head. There are fifty-one
kinds and denominations printed, ranga
ing from the little green, one-cent
stamp up to Its stately, aristocratic
brother which staggers under q fiye-
dollar valuation. Also, fifteen colore
are used in printing the stamps. A
pause here for reflection will probably
convince the most observant person
that he is unfamiliar with several of
these colors; that ia, of course, in con-
nection with stamps. We all know the
one, two, five and ten cent stamps.
But to be able to call to mind just
what those fifteen colors are means a
wide observation as well as q careful
one. For the benefit of those who fail
to solve this self-appointed riddle, the
answer is this: Four shades of blue,
two of green and two of brown, red,
yellow, olive, orange, purple, lavender
and dark slate.
The stamps which leave the bureau
annually amount to more than 10,000,-
900, 900, the latest yearly report show
ing the number to be 10,003, 265, 49,

DRAINAGE ENGINEER HERE.
d. w. Murphy, Engineer In
Charge of Drainage Visits
This System.

d. w. Murphy, engineer in charge
of drainage in government irrigation
projects, spent Monday and yesterday
in Investigating conditions relating to
drainage in this valley. Following his
investigation he will probably make
mans for comprehensive drainage
svstenl TO cover the areas where drain
age has come to be vital problem.
Mr. MuIphey's visit here was for the
purpose of looking over and determin-
ing the areas and their extent where
drainage relief will be necessary. No
definite plans have been formulated ac-
cording to Mr.. Murphy in regard to the
character Of the work to be instituted.
Engineer Thomas Williamson has
been engaged for two months in pre-
liminary work, during which time over
100 wells have been sunk in the var
ious parts of the project and the water
table thus determined. Mr.. William
son has also made rough survey Of
affected areas and the lands included
have been classified.
According to Mr.. Murphy, there are
two distinct methods used to correct
drainage problems, the closed and open
drains. The latter are more eeonomi'
cal than the former, when large bodies
OF water are present, while the under
ground system has certain features Of
distinct advantage. He said drainage
difficulties were present In at least one
half of the government projects and
that proper steps had been taken in
some to correct the condition.
Whenever the work is instituted here,
its expense will necessarily be borne by
either the general construction fund Of
this project or its operation and main
tenanee fund.
Mr.. Murphy stated that estimates on
the proportion of irrigated lands in the
west needing drainage generally were
in the neighborhood of 20 per cent, and
that the matter of disposal of ground
water was an all-important subject in
most irrigated sections.

REVIEW OF PROJECT EVENTS.
. Taken From The August Rec
lamation Record.

The regular operation and mainten-
ance work was carried on. A serious
water shortage prevailed, the availa able
water supply being about one-fourth of
the usual and necessary supply at this
season of the year, but by careful ro-
tation of bitches and apportionment of
supply, the crops were carried through
the month without very serious dam
age. The first crop of alfalfa was an
average crop in quantity and quality
and other crops, such as potatoes, sugar
beets and onions were in good condition
with prospect for fine yields unless the
water shortage should become more
acute. The second crop of alfalfa was
only partially irrigated, but the pros
poets are for an average yield. Gener-
al business at Falon and on the project
continued to be fairly satisfactory.
There was considerable building and
the freight business to the mines was
active. Farmers were busy and rea-
sonably hopeful in spite of the water
shortage.
Lahontan Dam.-The diversion dam
and fiume in Carson River were COM
pleted and the river was diverted
through the 9-foot concrete conducts
and the flume on July goth, thus expos
ing the bed of the river for the excava-
tion for pool and base of embankment.
Concrete was placed in the three risers
of the left spillway steps, and forms
were erected for side walks and guide
walls of this spillway. The sand-ce-
ment plant consisting of tube mill, ele-
vators, storage bins and feeders, was
erected and nearly completed during
the month. The usual force averaging
about 230 men with AZ head of stock
was employed. The Lahontsn-Fallon
transmission line was erected for about
13 miles of the total l6 miles distance.
Contract was placed for building the
substation at Fsllon, and the work Of
moulding concrete blocks for this house
was commenced.
