field of sugar beets was cultured and
forwarded to the Fallon factory The
beets from this farm gave the highest
returns of any turned in at the fac
tory.
The decision to sell this elegant
families about Washoe Lake on the
east side. There is room enough for
this on the big farm and water enough
for them all There is no guess work
as to the water question and absolute
ly the best soil in the state is to b3
found on the farm Should the Doug
lass farm go to small holders it will
mean another village within a few
miles Of this city and also the estab-
lishment of new AGRICULTURAL district
One of the peculiar conditions of tha
farm is that it has a milder climate
than in this valley. and on the east
side where it is located is an alfalfa
belt, while on the west is not. 1t
looks liks a chance for settlers and
one Of the best in Western Nevada.
It is hard to make comparisons, but
it is safe to state that the cutting up
Of the Douglass farm offers any set
tier a better opportunity than that of :
Metropolis for many other reclaimed
districts as the water is secured and
the land is absolutely proven. While
the friends of Mr.. Douglass regret to
learn that he will no longer be in the
game, yet the fact that he has devel
oped this big scheme should receive
spirited citizen who has the state de-
ve1opment at heart.

Commendable Work of a Nevadan
Who Reclaimed Acres by Per-

Glib Douglass has decided to cut up
his Washoe Valley farm and sell this
tract of land to parties who wish to
engage in real agriculture. The de
cision to cut up this reclaimed dis
trict comes as surprise as Mr.. Doug
lass by untiring energy has reclaimed
one of the finest tracts OF land iii Ne
vada and his work needs more praise
than any other individual undertaking
i'll the state.
Some years ago Mr. Douglass con-
ceived the idea of pumping wates
from Washoe Lake to the high land
to the east of the body OF water. He
secured some 5000 acres of land. in

pertinent and the results were so salts
factory that he ran a power line from

This also worked well, and esevera!
hundred acres of alfalfa land was cul-

Not content with this power he has
installed high power line of his own
from Stoney Lake to his farm. using
the waters of Ophir Creek for the de-
velopment of this power. The result
is that the holdings own one of the
best hydro-electric plants IN Nevada
and $500 acres of available land that
can't be beat for production and deptl,

During the first development OF this

GOOD ROAD
MOVEMENT

Assembly Doing Work
for Benefit of State

The wave of good roads has hit the
Legislature 1t is admitted from both
ends of the state that good roads are
the best asset that can possibly be
made permanent in this state. A
short time ago a bill passed the lower
house providing for the establishment
OF the State Highway and now an
other bill is pending which proposes
another road following the Humboldt
to Reno. 1t was so amended yester-
day that it gives better routing and
along more pleasant drives. While
the sum appropriated will not by any
means build this road it will at least
make a start in the right direction.
The Counties Of Elko and Hum
boldt have practically agreed TO add
more coin than the state appropriates
which will at least assure the building
Of this highway from the Utah and
Oregon line into and through Neva-
da. This is good Legislation if it does
cost some coin.
