LOW WATER IN LAKE TAHOE
WORRIES MANUFACTURERS

The Truckee River General Elec-
trio company is having its worries
along with other parties who de-
pend on water for necessary usage.
1t has developed that the supply at
Lake Tahoe is threateningly low,
that at the present time only one
and four-tenths feet remain available
for power and irrigation purposes,
which will not last it is feared, until
the fall storms help out the situation.
Lake Taho now stands at a level
of 6226.6 feet above the sea. It's
maximum high water mark is 6,229.3
feet, which marks the crest of the old
spillway. The sill of the dam is at
6,223.3, but the lowest that the lake
can be drained through the outlet of
the Truekee is 6,225.2 feet. leaving
but one foot and four tenths to go.
But evaporation during the remain
der of the season, If no water was
removed, through the outlet would
take up a foot and a half of the lakes
water level.
From this it is seen that the lake
must reach its lowest level before the
season is over, and cannot be depend
ed upon to increase the fall flow of
the river. Had it not been for the
dredging just below the dam last
summer. conditions would be far
more serious than they are.
If the company had not been tied
up by injunctions in the California
federal courts, il would have pre-
pared a channel above the dam
through which another foot or more
OF water would have been made avail
able for this fall but a temporary
detriment to property owners on the
lake. as a wet season would fill the
lake basin again to a satisfactory
level.

Thousands of men are working
along the line, balasting that portion

road from Susanyille a distance of
about 80 miles westward into the
timber country.
Residents in Susanville and along
the route are in a very happy frame
of mind over the completion of the
road and are anxious 70 have regular
service on the line. This will be pro-
vided at the earliest possible moment
which will be some time between now

cars of ballast will be required
to put the track into good shape, and
the tremendous force of men now en-
ployed will be augmented daily until
the road is thrown open for perman-
ent and regular travel.
1t is said that a daily minimum of
40 to 80 cars of lumber for eastern
markets is assured by the Walker
timber interests alone. The branch

BRAKEMAN FATALLY IN
JIRED by FALL FROM TRAIN.

William Combs, head breakman on
the local train running TO Virginia
City from Reno, was killed Monday
evening about 6.07 by falling from
the top of a box EAR, at a point be-
tween the Knickerboeker Switch n
the old Powder House.
When the train reached Gold Hill
the engineer did not receive n sig
nal from the head brakeman to slow
up for a way car and continued on
his way until he received a signal
from Rear Brakeman Blackwell. The
train was stopped and a search IN
stituted at once for the missing
brakeman. No signs were shown on
the train that he had been run over,
so the train was at once run onto a
side switch and the crew with the
engine went back to look for the
missing man.
The engine, with Conductor Harris
and some volunteers from Gold Hill
standing on the ear footboard, was
backed rapidly down the track. After
passing the Knickerboeker Switch,
the body was seen lying TO the left
of the track.
1t was seer at once that the NECK
of the man had been broken by the
fall as he was lying upon his back
with his face downward. The head
was lifted and it was seen that the
injured man was family breathing.
The injured man was lifted to the
toolbox of the engine and the order
given TO make Virginia City with all
speed. Engineer Savage opened his
throttle wide and the engine made its
best speed up the steep hillside. The
whistle was opened wide and the en-
CINE with its dying load went
through Gold Hill at topmost speed
and soon brought up at the Virginia
City depot.
When the mar was lifted TO the
Bfounu III was seen thdl ne was "eau
and Conductor Harris reported that
he had breathed his last as the speed
ing engine was passing the Belcher
Hosting Works. An examination of
the body at the depot and a further
examination at the undertaker's par
Tors proved that the deceased had
died from the effects of a broken
neck.
This IL the first death In the state
which has taken place since the new

DISCUSS BILLS
.F0RWORkMEN'S
. COMPENSATION
Hearing Held Yesterday at
Which Various Elements
Interested Take Part; to
Stop School Dances.
rBY ORA WILLIAMS.1

Des Moines, Feb. 12.-When the big
hearing Of the session opened yester-
day afternoon before the joint com
mittees on judiciary of the legislature,
on the workmen's compensation bills,
preliminary to the final contest for
law that will revolutionize as to COM
pensation for injuries, there was
large attendance, those represented
being employers, the working men and
the casualty insurance companies.
At the outset new proposition was
projected by the appearance before
the commission of Prof. Charles
Cheney Hyde, professor OF interna'
tional law at Northwestern university,
and attorney, for the Italian and
Austro- Hungarian consulates at Chi
cago. He appeared with Geo. Claussen,
attorney, of Clinton. Prof Hyde pro-
posed that in whatever bill Is adopted
there be incorporated a clause that
will make the nearest consul or vice
consul of a foreign country the sole
legal representative of any depend
ents of deceased persons coming un-
der the act who live in foreign coun-
tries. This is to protect the widows
and orphans of accident victims from
the ambulance chasers.
Senator John T. Clarkson presented
the attitude Of the state commission
and it's purposes in the preparation OF
the commission bill. He pointed out
the essential differences between that
bill and the manufacturers bill, or
Wrightman bill. He defended the pro-
vision for the establishment of state
monopoly in a mutual business and
opposition to the claim that competi-
tion ought to be permitted. .., a..
so far as competition Is con-
cerned," he declared, 81 tell you that
there is no competition, and there can
be none. am not blaming the insur-
ance companies nor are they to be
censured for this fact. 1t is due to the
very conditions under which they do
business that they must get together.
I know we say they are prohibited
from agreeing as to rates; but as for
casualty insurance you can legislate
until you are black in the face, but
you can't prevent persons from meet
ing and exchanging notes and reach
ing a common conclusion as to what
