MAY AID.
IN NEW RECLAMATION

1t seems that Uncle Sam is going to take a hand in the adj
iustment of water rights along the Walker River, where Tom
Hickey and Miller & Lux have been fighting for the past quarter
of a century. 1t is now proposed by the Government to use
Alkali Lake as a giant reservoir for water storage. Hickey owns
the largest portion of this natural site and attempted to convert
it into a reservoir years ago, but was prevented by the Govern
ment.
BY such a n adjustment many acres OF valuable land could
be brought under cultivation that r. now idle. 1t would also
assure the Smith Valley farmers a regular supply of water and
there is many a spring freshet that goes down the river that
could be turned into this natural lake site. 1t is unfortunate
that tie lake site has remained idle 81 many years as many ga
sons have passed when water was shy and the farmers needed
the assistance. BY Uncle Sam coming to the rescue it means that
the water shortage o the Walker will eventually be relieved.

work, experts believe, will play a

years. The so-called Lever bill,
providing for large appropriations
for carrying on this work all over
the United States. very likely will
be passed by this session of congress.

Stage hill is probably the worst

the road makes a sharp turn. and
little careless driving means a
plunge of several hundred feet down
a rocky embankment.

NOW BELIEVE DETROIT
FIRE NOT INCENDIARY

That the recent fire that destroyed
two buildings, stock of groceries
and part of a hardware stock at De-
2rOit was incendiary now is ques-
tiOn for debate, County Attorney
Arthur Hurd said today. Mr. Hurd,
with Deputy Fire Inspector Chandler
went to Detroit yesterday to make
Further investigations. Mr.. Hurd
found that the fire started on the
interior of the building and not from
che outside as was at first reported.
Two men who discovered the fire
said that boards had been wrench
ed loose from the building and soak
led with coal oil. But this theory
now has been abandoned.
The fact that the two men thought
She fire blaged higher than ever
when they threw water on the flames
81 now believed valueless, since 1t is.
believed that the fire had been burn
ing, perhaps for hours, when the
two men discovered it. and that the
excitement of the moment caused
she wrong impressions.
Just what is the cause of the
fire Mr.. Hurd cannot assign. But,
as al evidence at the present time
seems to show, the arson theory is
exploded.
