BIG CIRCUS COMING TO RENO
Biggest Circus Will Visit Reno
On September End With
Wonderful Attractions.

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth is attracting unusual
interest this season with its wonderful
program of European novelties, its re-
built parade, its complete menagerie,
and its recently added $500. 600 world
less spectacle of Cleopatra, all of
which will be seen in Reno on Sep. 2.
The parade, which takes place at 10
O'Clock in the morning, is three miles
in length. In the menagerie will be
found the only baby giraffe on exhibi-
tion anywhere on earth. The inaugu-
raj spectacle of Cleopatra" is produc-
ed on the biggest stage ever devoted
to an open air amusement. 1t is erect
ed in the main tent of the show. There
is cast of 1,250 characters, q grand
opera chorus of 400 voices, an orches-
ira of 100 musicians, a ballet of $50
dancing girls, $50 horses. Ave herds of
elephants, caravans of camels, and IN
entire trainload of special scenery,
costumes and stage effects. This ID
the greatest spectacular, theatrical and
circus event in the history Of smuse'
ments in America.
Among the many European novelties
on the regular program which follows
the spectacle, are Katie Sandwina'a
wonderful strong'woffian act, and novs
city feaa by company Of Jspanesd
wsrricfs and jiu litsu experts, Wlns
ston'a riding and juggling seals, tho
Fills troupe of dancing and jumping
horses, brass band of stations, Beti
zac's mule and monkey circus, the Sits
grist-Sibon family of high air vaultefS
and somersalters, Mae Wirth, the greata
est bareback and somersault rider in
the world; Victoria Codona, queen Of
high wire experts; the Georgetty
family of strong arm jugglers, the
Florence, Les Jardy and Les Deko
families of acrobats, seven herds of
trained elephants and the fifty funniest
clowns in the world.
The Barnum and Bailey circus for
more than fifty years has stood at the
head of the worlds amusement affairs.
This year it is more interesting than
ever before, and twice as big. It trav-
els on a train more than a mile in
length, covers fourteen acres of ground
and has nearly 1.500 employees, 700
horses, nearly two-thirds Of the ele-
plants in America, ITO cages in the
menagerie and over 1900 wagons and
other vehicles. The two perform ances
that will be given in Reno will be ex-
actly the same as those presented at
Madison Square Garden, New York,
where the season was opened in March.
Not one detail has been changed. The
great spectacle was said to be the
most notable dramatic event in the
history of amusements in that city,
while the circus proper was credited
with being the best ever given there.

PROJECT CROPS SURPRISING
Notwithstanding Water Shortage
1912 Is Banner Year For
Quantity And Prices.

The seasonal efforts of the Truckee-
Carson project farmers have probably
resulted in farm crops worth total of
around 100000. The 1911 crop exceed
ed half a million dollars in value and
the production this year is greater in
an aggregate sense and will undoubted-
ly command higher average prices.
With these things as basis from
which to estimate, those in charge of
project affairs are sure that the figure
hazarded herewith is fairly accurate.
The crops that have done best this
year are potatoes and the various
kinds of grains. There has been
scarcely a failure in the cereal line, a
fact that is largely attributable to the
seasons favor. though doubtless much
success is due to an increased know
ledge among new farmers of proper
methods to pursue in this branch of
agriculture. Potatoes in the heavy
lands of the valley are remarkable for
their quality and size and sugar beets
should be mentioned in connection with
the root crops. The beets have re-
sponded to the efforts of the deplor-
ably few who had the hardihood 10
follow up bad season with acreage, In
a manner at once gratifying and sur
prising. In some instanees the ton
mage will be almost unbelievable and
the net financial returns that will 90
into the pockets of our beet raisers
will make others who decried sugar
beet raising green with envy. By the
some token il will suffice to bring the
sugar beet into higher esteem as a
local crop. for there is no doubt nov
that it will grow prolifically here and
over the state and return profit more
than worth while.
The project officials further aver
that the hay tonnage this year will
be in excess of what it was last year,
even though we have had water
shortage. Instances have come to
light where better cuttings have re-
suited from the shutting off of the wa
ter than was usual when more liberal
allowances were available for irriga-
tion, forcing the conclusion that co-in-
cident with the damage in certain of
our districts. good has resulted in other
parts of the project, good has resulted
from the water shortage.

PROGRESS At LAHONTAN DAM
New Machinery Arrives And
Progress OF Construction Is
Being fastened.

A great electric excavator, weighing
60 tons and costing $4,000, arrived at
Lahontan Monday as unit in freight
train being transported and will be put
to work within few days. The exca-
vator is built on standard gear trucks,
making it possible for it to be COUP
led in the train. This great machine
will move something like $50 cubic
yards of dirt per hour and is depended
upon to perform highly useful and
labor saving function in the Lahontan
dam building operations.
In the meantime. the 900 foot belt
dirt conveyor was completed last week
and trial run made. by which the
complete success of the conveyer was
demonstrated. This apparatus will be
the unit that will move something like
800, 600 cubic yards of dirt, or the to-
tai amount that will enter into the dam
embankment.
In connection with the work at La
nontan, this paper Is Informed that
work is proceeding as rapidly as condi-
tions will allow. As Project Engineer
d. W. Cole puts it, there Is some
thing besides arithmetic involved In a
work OF this nature. At first glance,
1t would seem that II you run twice as
fast you have gone twice as far, but
this instance. though somewhat para.
doxicalj Is an exception TO the rule.
Certain work must be dofie between
seasons, and the whole plan is so inter-
woven. one thing with another, that
only certain amount of rushing can
be done. Just now, forces of workers
are being maintained night and day at
vital points, and nothing is being over
looked that would augur for the dam 8
speedy completion.

WATER IS HERE FROM TAHOE
Generosity OF Truckee Power
Company and Washoe Farm
ers Alleviates Shortage.

Water varying in volume from 325
to 500 second feet has been in process
of delivery to the farmers OF this valley
since the last of the week. The dis
tributiCn is being made on the rotation
plan, seven days, irrigation being allot-
ted to each irrigation district. AS the
division of districts are made this plan
means seven days on and seven days off
and it is believed to be the most effec-
tive manner of serving the interests of
the project farmers.
hoe water shed, and the flow is expect
ed to continue with slight variation up
to about September 18th, the agree
ment entered into between the officials
of the power companies and the pro-
iect, calling for continuous service up
to and including September 10th. The
Stone e. Webster corporation, owning
and controlling the waters of the lake,
was particularly considerate of this
projects interests and is entitled to
thanks. II waived every form ality and
gave mandatory instructions that water
that it will probably need for its own
private uses should be released for utili-
cation here. The farmers along the
Trnekee are also entitled TO the ap-
probation of the men who own
thirsty Ia nds in this section, for they
have displayed rare public spirit and
general all round good intentions since
learning the real conditions here. Last
Sunday 24-hour period was observed
by every Truckee farmer, when the
total river flow was undisturbed and
following, the $50 second-foot extra
flow from the lake is being allowed to
proceed uninterrupted. Such acts tend
to promote good and friendly feeling
between the farmers of the Truckee
and tho Carson valleys.
Ii is estimated that something like
75 second feet of water finds its way
back into ne Truekee river from the
swamps below Sparks. which together
with the extra flow from the lake makes
around 325 feet of water that will be
available for project uses until Septem-
Der 10th.

IMPORTING HAY FROM UTAH
Utah Construction Company Is
Menacing Hay Interests OF
The Entire State.

Utah hay is being imported for use
along the line of construction of the
Fernley-Lassen railroad. And this de-
spite the avowals of the state admins
tration that it would act and prevent
the importation of hay from districts
in adjoining states where the deadly
alfalfa weevi Is known to exist.
Some months ago an expert of the
government agricultural department
visited Fallon, who realizing the rela-
tion of the alfalfa industry bears to-
wards the states welfare, called atten-
tion to the need of an effective quaran-
tine against hay from Utah and parts
of the states of Idaho and Wyoming.
AT that time the agitation that result
ed from the published reports of con-
ditions resulted in tardy promise from
the state administration that effective
precautionary measures would be taken
Immediately, precluding the i'm
portation of forage from infect
ed states into Nevada. But these
promised measures were never taken
as Is indicated by the wholesale impor-
tation of Utah hay by the Utah Con-
struction Co., 10 the line of its work
leading north from Fernley.
II SO happens that the construction
company is the recipient of the usual
dispensation from the railroad company,
for whom it works, in the matter of
freight rates, and being thus favor
ed and still being undenied the privi-
lege of going into the districts of Utah
where the pesky weevil has made his
abode, they find it very much to their
financial benefit to buy hay in Mormon
land.
But in the meantime, If the weevil
should gain foothold in Nevada, first
at Fernley and then spread to the other
alfalfa producing sections, who would
be at fault?
The state of California, ever alive to
the needs of its producers, has declared
4 quarantine against hay from Utah
and parts of Wyoming and Idaho.
When the Californians, for the protec-
tion of their home markets, declared
an embargo on Nevada potatoes last
fall, alleging eel worm infection, it
was made plain what would happen to
Nevada products whenever an oppor-
tunity arose.

What A Fair Does.

An agricultural fair when properly
conducted is always a benefit to the To-
cality in which it is held.
1t advertises the country.
1t shows what the land is capable of
producing.
1t helps to bring in new industries,
new settlers and new wealth.
1t is strong educational factor.
1t affords an opportunity for the pub
lie to see and study the newest variet-
les of field crops, the best live stock
the country produces, the latest designs
in hand fancy work, and to learn which
of the neighbor's wives does the best
cooking.
1t affords breeders an opportunity to
sell their live stock to the best advan-
tage.
1t gives the buyers an opportunity to
know who has the best live stock.
1t gives farmers a chance to secure
the best varieties of seeds.
1t inspires every one to do little
better next year.
