favorable action upon the matter
OF establishing a postal savings

BIG STORM WOULD
BE WELCOMED

The weather has done a lot of
blowing and blui1ing the past week
without much results. A sheavy
shower of short duration fell Tues
day bat was too short to be of an
benefit. The farmers and stock
men would welcome a general
downpour of rain. The grain
fields would be benefited and above
all else the lower ranges need it.
The ranges are reported to be as
dry as bone and the spring feed
will not start. Sheepmen report
that the condition is most unusual.

A QUESTION OF
VAST IMPORTANCE

Several weeks ago two articles
appt ared in this paper regardi G
the appropriation by the govern
ment OF the food waters of the
Carson river not heretofore ap-
propriated. The question has
been quite freely discussed without
knowing the definite meaning and
future hinderance to Carson Valley
that turks in the government ap-
preparation.
Many water users have. declared
that they would attend a meeting
to be held ia Gardnerville and
others in Ormsby and Washoe
counties similarly affected have
given their assurance that they
would be present. Such a meeting
would certainly be of great benefit
to all concerned.
Acting for the benefit of the
community and taking a great H.
terest In the future development of
the agricultural resource of Cal ION
Valley, this paper will en-, ca for
to deal with this important ques-
ton IN a thorough manner aext
week. 1t is the most impo ant
question, we believe, before our
people today and stands as huge
obstacle in the way of development
OF Carson Valley.
1t Is true that the government
appropriation OF the flood waters
OF The Carson river, interiors in no
way with riparian rights of this
Valley. 1t is also true that farmers
owning old water rights are inter
ested more or less Gin building up
the Valley, in seeing new farms
created and the population OF the
county increased. Douglas county
should have a population of 10000
instead of 1900 but if no effort is
made to hold the heritage that
rightfully belongs tolsus, then we
have slims schances of advancement.
Farmers, unlike business men,
are not competitors, as some really
believe. There are more farms in
the United States than ever before
and and the annual yield is stag
gering. Yet the prices of their
products was never better ll.an
during recent years. if there was
but one ranch in Carson Valley
its value per acre would be Aothing
as compared with the same soil
under sent-iav conditions.
With all lne ara land under cult
yation and our population increas
ed To 10000 the valuations would
advance still higher. To do this
1t Will require storage water for
irrigation.
/ This meeting will be held in
Gardneryille during the first weeks
in May, the exact date to be al
nounced later.
