THE LAHONTAn DAM WORK
Will Be Rushed And Plans Are
Being Matured For Land
Opening.

Project headquarters is now busy
with the work of preparing farm
unit plats for submission within a
short time to the Washington Office
for approval. This is a step look
ing towards the opening of the pro-
ject lands this fall, probably some
time during the month of September.
1t is now reasonably certain that
a considerable portion of the 1914
Carson river flood will be stored at
Lahontan. During his visit to the
East Mr.. Cole stopped in Pittsburg,
Pa, where the foundry recently com
pleted the various control gates for
the dam and they will be shipped
to Lahontan within a short time.
The embanknent machinery will
be started next month. In the mean
time the bottom gates for the struc-
ture will be installed within a short
time. The upper and tower gates
will be installed as the work of fill
ing the chasm progresses. In all the
iron gates ordered weigh $40 tons
and In many respects represent
something OF an engineering accom-
plishment.

The Reclamation Hearings.

The conferences on reclamation
which Secretary Lane closed on Sat
urday established certain facts which
may be briefly stated as follows
First, in spite of the difficult en-
gineering problems which have been
met and successfully handled, at the
present time the chief difficulties lie
in tactful administration. This Get
ting along with the people" is a
problem not confined to the Recla-
lmation Se.vice, 1t also troubles the
Forest service and other bureaus,
but all are coping with it more sue
cessfuly as time goes on.
/ Second, the government can and
must take hold of the big, hard jobs
which cannot be done by anybody
else. These works can be completed
at cost fuite comparable to the cost
of private work on a smaller scale
with due allowance for the restric-
tions of the eight-hour law and 9TH
er legislation which may be entirely
right and proper, but is none the less
handicap.
Third, the government service can
accomplish this work chiefly because
of the absence of politices, favorit-
ism, and graft, of which nothing was
heard, except from the small class of
chronic kickere.
Fourth, there will always be criti-
cism from the above class who will
generally be supplied with tales of
hard luck and injustice because the
government cannot sort out the peo-
Pile who go on the land, Private
companies can do this TO a certain
extend and thus avoid some trouble

WE MUST PAY MAINTENANCE
Supreme Court Rendered a De-
cision Monday to This
Effect.

More than 10000 farmers on the
reclamation projects In the West will
be affected by the Supreme Courts
decision that they must pay to the
government the cost of maintaining
and operating the various reclama-
ton projects. pending their compile
ton.
The decision was in the suit by ID.
p. Baker and other farmers on the
sunnyside unit of the Yakima, Wash
ington, project, to have the reclama-
ton service enjoined from cutting off
the water supply to enforce collec-
ton of such charges, imposed under
instruction OF the Secretary of the
Interior in 1912.
Nearly a million dollars have al
ready been collected by the govern
ment. Half a million more is about
due.
Justice Lamar announced the
Courts unanimous decision, and de-
clared that congress intended the set
tiers should pay the cost of mainten-
anee and operation.
In this case the defendant refused
to pay the assessments on the ground
that the assessment was not provd-
ed for under the reclamation laws.
He won favorable decisions In the
State Court and the Federal District
Court at San Francisco.
AT the time the maintenance and
operation payments we're deferred
the secretary of the interior issued
a circular TO the effect that should
the eountry's highest tribunal af-
firm the contention of the reclama-
ton officials the settlers enjoying the
temporary immunity from the charge
would be expected to pay the same
within 10 days following the receipt
OF notification from the department.
II is presumed that no haste will be
exercised In extracting the charge
forming the basis for contention.
though It will in all probability be
demanded within a reasonable time.
Failure TO pay within 10 days from
the date of notification will render
all land owners subject to depriva-
ton of their water supplies.
In view of the sequel to the en-
broglio 1t would undoubtedly have
been much better had the issue ney-
er been precipitated. for many set
tiers on this project and elsewhere.
anticipating a favorable termination,
may have more or less difficulty In
IN meeting the payment impromptu.
The total Truckee-Carson project
maintenance and operation charge
for this year Is In round numbers
$4,000. of which $4,000 has been
paid. The rate Is almost uniformly
10 cents per acre. though certain OF
the old vested rights enjoy rate OF
40 cents per acre annually.

Revolutionary changes In the
American parcel post system, which,

mended to Postmaster General Burle-

Mr.. Lewis recommendations are
Incorporated in 25.000-word brief
addressed to Mr.. Burleson end the
national commission in which he ad-
vccates that immediate cteps be TEX
en- to reconstruct the present sys-
tenn so that 1t may be popular

package.
The brief is intended by Mr.. Lewis
to form e basis for the postmaster
generals appeal to the iltcrststo
commerce commission for changes In
operative methods of the new postal
system.
Increase Weight Limit.
In a nut shell Mr.. Lewis recon-
mendations ere:
Increase the weight limit from II
pounds to 100 pounds on all pack
nses to be collected and delivered
Have no weight limit on packages
which are delivered and will be call
ed for at the postal terminal.
Establish a a!mrle syctom OF zones
namely. 100 miles to each zone, the
first (locaD zone to include a dis
tance Of 100 miles.
Establish C rate about 20 per cent
the cost OF service, that Is. n rate of
3 cents for the first pound in the
first zone; for subsequent zones an
additional u cent for each 100
miles; no charges to exceed IL conts
per pound.
Restore tho old fourth class ratec
and establish 4 supplemental parcel

press matter generally. with proper
exceptions, TO which zone rate9 sail
apply.
Reform tho packing regulations so
that articles carried by express may

mondatlons of Mr.. Lewis Ia tlat nf
the rates. He has made thorough
investigation of the cost of postal
transportation and finds that Y cent
will pay the co... of carrying pound
Leakage $50 miles. The rate Of
cents for the first pound he proposes
Is arbitrary end the Y cent fof each
additional pound for every 100 miles
will cut the precent rates more thar
in two.

Health a Factor In Success.

The largest factor contributing to
mans success is undoubtedly
health. 1t has been observed that a
man is seldom sick when his bowels
are regular-he is never well when
they are constipated. For constipa-
tion you will find nothing quite so
good as Chamberlain's Tablets. They
not only move the bowels but i'm
prove the appetite and strengthen
the digestion. They are sold by all
dealers.

MORE ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Project Engineer d. w. Cole Re-
turns From Washington With
Details.

Project Engineer d. w. Cole re-
turned Monday from an official visit
to Washington, which was inter-
spersed with a pleasant side trip to
visit his aged mother in Northern
Georgia, where he spent his boy
hood.
Speaking of the results obtained
by the conference recently conclud-
ed in Washington between the repre-
| sentatives of the government project
settlers and the secretary and his
subordinates, Mr.. Cole gave it as his
opinion that many practical results
would come from the expose of
views, though to date nothing be-
yond what is educative for the gov
ernment officials has occurred. Sec
retary of the Interior Franklin X.
Lane and the reclamation officials
feel generally that much has been
learned by them from the recitation
of the experiences of the individual
projects that later will help material
ly in the formation of new policies
for application in the governments
arid land policy.
The secretary called the confer
enee at the outset of his administra-
tive duties in order that he might
act intelligently and in consonance
with what Is fair and best for the
settlers.
The secretary made 1t plain during
the conference that in order to act
kco-ordinately it will be necessary for
the settlers on all the projects to or
ganize some form of association
which will be the agency for the ad-
judication of many of the matters
that now form project annoyances.
However, 1t was made plain by the
secretary that no proposal to turn
over the projects of the government
to unsupplemented local control
would be tolerated at this time. 1t
was made plain that many of the rul-
ings for which the reclamation Of
ficials have been blamed in times
past were really in fact mandates di-
rect from the previous secretary of
the interior and that much needed
relief from iron clad rules will have
to come through the agency of con-
gress. which must adjust the laws
to fit more nearly the demands.
The secretary allowed free rein in
the discussion that featured the con-
ference, which was called in lieu of a
visit by the secretary to the various
government projects, and in numer-
Gus instances the demand was made
on the floor by speakers for the re-
moval of the various heads of the
reclamation bureau. The attitude of
the secretary was such, according to
Mr. Cole, and so fair that the most
radical of the water users present,
feel kindly disposed towards him
ana are convinced of his sincere de-
sire to treat the interests they rep
resented fairly. The secretary is
disposed to meet the settlers half
way in every reasonable demand and
from this time forward we may
reasonably expect innovation after
innovation until common sense
plan has been perfected. He urged
harmony at every stage of the pro-
ceedings. Those representatives
present have been asked to work CO.
ordinately in the preparation of an
organization of the various projects
that will place them in touch at all
times with the department.
Mr.. Cole stated that Fulton H.
Sears made a good address and was
we'll received.
