COUNTRY ACROSS THE RIVER

ANCE BY RAINS

Will Day. who spent a few hours
across the river yesterday on his
copper ground and other claims
states that the country over that way
is washed clean.
Where there was d road or a trail
it has washed to bedrock, new gorges
were made, old shafts filled and the
bottom OF every canyon and gully is
washed clean.
The roads leading to the various
mining properties are cleaned out
and will necessitate rebuilding if they
are ever intended for use. Several
old shafts are half filed with water
showing the heft of the electric
storms across the river. 1t has been
notable fact for years that all
storms are extremely severe in this
mineralized section. That the storms
were heavier to the east of this city
is plainly shown.
Mr.. Day states that this is the time

cleaned and many OF the ledges that
were covered are now exposed to the

NEW RAILROAD RATES.
Recently Authorized Reductions Not
Effective Until Tariffs are Issued.

Owing to a strike of the pressmen
of San Francisco, making it impos-
sible for the Southern Pacific Com
pany to issue it's new Nevada sched-
ule of rates, advertised for July 1st,
the company has issued a statement
to the effect that the old rates will
govern until the new can be invoked.
Meanwhile, the railroad, though op-
Grating under the old system of
rates, will rebate all patrons for ex-
cess charges with the usual prompt
ness.
1t take a great deal of time and
trouble to establish complete
change of freight rates within state
and the unanticipated difficulties at
taching to the printing of the tariffs
has made a postponement necessary,
though without consequent loss to
the shippers of Nevada.

THE 1918 WATER SHORTAGE.
Is Making Itself Felt In This Project
Where Crop Shortages VIII Occur.

The unprecedented shortage of
water this season has been made
manifest and the predictions are
freely urged that unusual losses will
attend. In fact, owing to the large
acreage of sugar beets throughout
the project and the large investment
involved, there is likely to be a de-
privation of needed water that will
mean loss TO our farmers of many
thousands of dollars. All lines of
reasoning lead to one conclusion, l..
e., that the United States govern
ment is largely blameable for the
present state of affairs and the fact
that strenuous endeavors are now
being exerted to provide an assured
water supply by the construction of
the Lahontan dam in no wise miti-
gates the offense of building a great
connecting link, uniting the Truckee
and Carson watersheds at a project
expense of $1,600,0O0, when the wat
er supply for diversion was mooted
and not established.
Subsequent events have fully prov
en- the folly of this engineering move
and the corrective efforts of the re-
clamation officials in no wise nullifies
the blunder or its great cost to the
farmers of this valley.
To be sure this and last seasons
are and were unusual, but neither
Is this fact palliative for the man
who has expended labor and money
that he might get the reward that
usually goes to the energetic usband-
man. The matter of individual wat
er distribution is a minor affair and
Is not to be confounded with the
1913 collective loss.
From the reclamation office the
statement Is given out that some
thing like 150 second feet are being
received into the project canal sys-
tens, of which probably 100 second
feet are actually distributed. the diff
ference representing the loss through
evaporation and seepage. A good
many times this amount would be
necessary to fill ell local needs. 1t
is maintained by the project officials
that the water available will mature
the beet crop and save the gardens
and young alfalfa from destruction,
and to this end the rotating of the
flows in the large canals is occur
ring now The residents of the north
and south districts must on one hand
content themselves, while the others
use the flow.
