about the utilization of every drop of
water available for irrigation and the
reclamation and settlement of every
irrigable acre in Nevada.
Nothing that needs to be done 10
accomplish that has been overlooked
or forgotten in this new and marvel
ously comprehensive constructive
measure Capital construction, CO.
operation, colonization are all spe-
officially provided for in the bill.
The moment the Newlands River
Regulation bill becomes law, new
era OF rapid advancement and wide
spread prosperity will dawn on Ne
vada. Every man in the state will
profit by it, whatever may be his in
terest or vocation. Every existing
interest and right whether in forest,
mines land or water, will be bene-
fitted, safeguarded, conserved and
improved in value. On that founda-
ton will be built new communities,
created by the influx of tens of
thousands of immigrants who will
come 10 NeNdud 10 Dullu
homes on its fertile soil.
Whatever needs to be done to
bring to completion existing govern,
ment irrigation projects or to insure
the success or prosperity OF the
settlers hereunder, which cannot be
done under the original Reclama-
ton act is provided for in the New
lands bill now pending in congress,
That bill embodies the needs sug-
gested by twelve years eXperienc .
and pioneering under the original
law. On the foundations built by
this new and broader measure will
be erected the new communities that
will be created by the influx of tens
of thousands of immigrants who will
come to make Nevada their perma-
nent home.
In the days of "Forty-nine" the
valleys of Nevada were whitened by
the wagon trains Of the Argonauts
seeking the golden fleece in the
gulches of California.
In the days following the opening
up of the new Comstock, which will
be whenever the Newlands River
Regulation bill becomes law, those
same valleys will be filled with tens
/ Of thousands of homes anchored 10
i the soil-new homes built by the
/ sturdy yeomanry whose labor will
produce the wealth they seek from
the fertile irrigated lands, instead OF
rocking it from the placer gravel.
The aggregate of the wealth they
will produce will be So great that
the finite mind cannot grasp its real
''at least 100000 acres" that are
capable under irrigation of produc-
ing crops. The moment the preser,
Newlands bin becomes a law the
great work of building new homes
on this vast area of land will COM
mence From year to year the state
will feel the stimulus of the inf1u>
OF new population, new capital anc
newly created wealth.
This development will progres:
with marvellous rapidly. Less time
than has elapsed since the discovery
of the old Comstock will see th'
new Comstock producing from 5000.
