CARLIE DEFEATS ELKO

Elko was defeated in a baseball
game at Carlin on Sunday by the
scor3 of 10 to 8. O'Rrien opened
as pitcher for Elko but was reliev-
ed later by Bryant. 1t was fairly
good game and we'll attended. A
number from Elko went to Carlin
to see the game, and later had a
good time in that town.

THOUSANDS OF ACRES
OPEN To HOMESTEADERS

Water right litigation which is
responsible for the backward farm
ing conditions of most of Nevada
counties is fast being relegated to
the scrap heap and common sense
is taking the place of animosity.
Owners of land and water rights
are beginning to realize that money
spent in law does not make the
creek flow faster and that the same
amount of money expended for de-
velopment will accomplish the
greatest good of all.
News of the compromise of all
differences in a famous Walker
river case was received this MORN
ing by w NJ Kearney, state Enei-
neer who is in Tonopah attending
law suit. Mr. Kearney is delight
ed over the result as it is in line
with his policy in Humboldt and
Elko counties where he has tried
to bring the farmers together on
a plane of mutual understanding.
The settlement of the East Walk
er lake case means adding $40, ,OOO,-
600 to agricultural values on the
border of California and Nevada
in Smith and Antelope valleys.
1t also means the immediate in
vestment of $20O,OGO in the con-
struction Of a reservoir to con-
serve the storm waters and the
creation of net work Of distribut-
ing bitches and laterals to reclaim
100000 acres of desert land.
The farmers of the Walker river
district of Nevada and Antelope
valley Of California have settled
their differences and are now unit
ed for the reclamation of the de-
sert. After years of litigation the
dispute over water rights on the
Walker river has heep settled by
arbitration and the verdict ap-
proved. The parties to the contest
reached the conclusion that the
money which was being poured into
lawsuits would build a reservoir
and canals which would do away
with the stringency Of water and
give more than enough to all.
AREA RECLAIMED
The decision will mean the recla-
nation Of a vast area of hitherto
unproductive desert land and will
add millions of dollars to the value
of taxable property of the state.
The Walker river valley land is
very fertile and the value of the
land reclaimed by this vast project
will undoubtedly reach 500 per
acre as soon as water is available
for irrigation purposes.
The suit which has just been set
tied has been pending since 1902
1t was first instituted for an adju-
dication of the rights of the Ne
vada and California users of water
from Walker.

This afternoon the work may be

the work goes on without hitch or

Eer during the latter part of the week,
and an acceptance of the invitation
was received here, also by wireless.
1t proved a gay dinner, the two Of

tasted it, so it is said, but whether OF
hot they liked it cannot be learned,
hut one may take it for granted that
they did, or did not, just as one wishes.

The entrance OF the ship into the
harbor. Saturday afternoon was one OF
the prettiest sights naval men have
seen for some time. Without pilot
boat, the huge ship of war made her
way into the harbor shortly after 3
O'Clock. The booming of cannon, from
ship and shore, began as she slowly
felt her way into the pert, and swung
in alongside the EVA side of Alakea
wharf. A few sharp signals given,
lines brought TO the dock By the Brit
ish jackies, and the battle-cruiser WAS
made fast
A few minutes later, Consul Rem
tiers boarded the vessel and met the
captain. He was followed by Lieu
tenant Ball, u. S. A., aide to Brigadier
General Funston, and the local enter
tainment committee consisting of
George f. Davies, William Healey,
Robert Catton, Roderick o. Matheson,

them was Guy Buttolph OF the COM

as representative Of the cricket club

was received by Captain Halsey in his
quarters, where the program as out
lined was gone over, and heartily ap-
proved by the captain, save the ar
rangements for Monday and Tuesday,
coaling days, during which time, he
said, the officers would be required to
