Saturday meeting of the water
users of Carson Valley was held at
Minden. c. NJ. Henningsen was
chosen chairman, while H. +. Dang
berg was elected secretary.
The Chairman announced that the
object of the meeting was to con-
slider the proposition of cooperation
with the government in the matter
of storing surplus waters of the
Carson river, and especially to gath
er sentimate from all those present
regarding the matter. II. +. Dang
berg was called upon to explain to
the meeting an outline of the talk
had by the committee in conference
with officers of the Reclamation
Service an Reno on the 9th day of
this month, at which conference
were present +. G. Hopson, Super

Settelmeyer and H. +. Dangberg,
representing the interests of the
Upper Carson. Mr.. Dangberg ex-
planned that The result of the con-
ference was the consideration of a
plan to construct a storage reser-
yoir in Long Valley, with supply
canals and distributing system,
which would mean a canal fourteen
miles long on the East slope of Car
son Valley. and a canal seven miles
long connecting the East Fork and
the West Fork of the Carson river,
to supply approximately "a 900
acres of land with water, about
fifty per cent of which was consid-
cred lands now irrigated, and fifty
per cent of lands not irrigated. the
approximate cost of which would be
1890, 900. There has been an esti-
mate made that if such a project
could be worked out, that the cost
TO the lands now irrigated would be
approximately 5000 the balance
of the cost To be assessed To the
lands not irrigated. Also that all
lands in private ownership not ir-
rigated would, if it were possible To
bring about the solution and per-
fection of the project, necessarily
be sub-diyided and sold in units
under the direction, supervision and
rulings of the government. Mr..
Dangberg also clearly stated that
there had been no definite propo-
sition made. only that these figures
and estimates had been given as
working basis, that the water users
and land owners of the Upper Car
son may get together and associate
themselves for the purpose of max
ing a proposition to the Reclamation
Service. showing their willingness

STORM PERILS MANY
YACHTS RETURNING TO CHICAGO
FROM MICHIGAN LOST.
Terrific Gale Sweeps Lake and 1t Is
Feared Some of the Boats Have
Been Swamped.

Chicago, June 22.-Hundreds of lives
were imperiled and many thrilling res
cues effected on Sunday in one of the
worst storms which has swept over
the lake this season. The storm broke
so suddenly and with such fierceness
that the many lake craft cruising
some of them many miles out-were
caught and tossed like tissue boats by
the gale and great waves.
Twelve boats of the fleet which was
returning from the Michigan City
yacht races, held Saturday, were re-
ported missing.
The fleet, consisting of about thirty
six miles off the Jackson park harbor.
Every effort was made to protect the
weaker craft, but darkness fell over
the waters and many boats were lost
to view.
Six of the missing boats belonged to
the Jackson Park Yacht club; two
were owned by members of the Chi
cago Yacht club and the others be-
longed to the Columbia and Lincoln
Park Yacht clubs.
High-powered motor boats and mem
bers of life-saving crews all along the
lake shore swept the waters with
searchlights in an effort to find the
missing yachts.
Ten men were rescued from float
one mile out from the foot of Indiana
street by Captain Garland and his life
saving crew, after the men had been
washed away from their moorings and
were rapidly being driven out into the
lake. Captain Garland caught their
distress signals and went to their res
cue
