was slightly in excess of $1,000. 0n0
hence the government authorities
rather than taking up or exceeding

task OF building at a lesser cost than
estimated.
II required about four years IN

the governments efficiency In per-

building of the Lahontan dam is
easily Neyada's most stupendous
feat in this line and one of the
greatest in the country. Although
having total height above stream

proper extends far enough into

height OF the dam to about 200 feet.

AhENT THE DERBY FISHWAY
Facts For the Derby Fish Ladder
Enthusiasts TO Digress And
Think Over.

1t Is more or less amusing t

mule, over the fish ladder thai
was recently built by the project au
thorities at cost to the water users
of this project of s2700. The claim
IS made that Project Engineer d. W
Cole has defied Washington an.
tnorities and that the ladder is
Iidieulously short of what 1t should
be. In short that local authorities
have conspired to defeat a most
righteous undertaking.
The facts in the matter are that
the flsh ladder was built in COM
plete accordance with plans drawn
IN the local project office and ap-
proved by the proper authorities in
Washington. Due provisions were
made for floods, and other conting-
eneles not. anticipated by the state
flsh commission highbrows, or by
the sWagger Washoe and California
youths sportiyely inclined, whose
concern correlates around the one
thing OF pulling fish from out the
dark holes along the Truckee river.
The ladder undertaking when first
projected, was referred to the local
water users for a referendum vote
ny the interior department before
II was sanctioned at all, its cost of
92100 being charged against the To-
cal project fund This referendum
vote was fayorably influenced by a
letter from Project Engineer d. w.
Cole, whose chief offense is that of
not consulting day by day a few of
the damphools who have essayed the
role OF debating TO the water users
OF this project just what sort of fish
ladder they shall build to meet with
outside approval
There really was no lunch room
Ior tired fishermen attached as an
annex TO the Derby fish ladder.
The ladder was not built of concrete
but of lumber, the substitution be-
ing made for financial reasons.
though without an impaired effic-
lency. Certain wings could not be
Installed because flood waters would
tear them away in due season. But
beyond this the ladder is a ladder
all right that can be negotiated by
all OF the Truckee and Pyramid
trout except the most aged and de-
erepit members of the states finny
tribe.
The sportsman who would object
to the Derby fishway may console
themselves with the thought that
any fish that cannot jump its in
clines and proceed on to the sequest-
cred spots where the Isaac Waltons
are prone to hibernate and dangle
their fish lines isn't worth catching
anyway, for that fish wouldn't be
worth hooking. All such fish can
be found below the fishway at any
time in the proper season and can
be approached with a due amount
Of salt which may be placed on their
tails after which they will make
friends with the sportsmen and fol-
low them most anywhere.

hence in that year there were re-
ported 22,2S6 fowls, valued at 90
cents each, total of s20,633. For
1914 the report shows 6,97z
turkeys and 27,399 other fowls.
This year the turkeys are valued at
S2.30 each, or total of $15,988
and the other fowls at so cents each,

fowls of S12,I14
Total Value of Live Stock.
The total value of live stock as
above enumerated was $559,628
for 1918 and $694,393 for 1914, an
increase of S134,497. On the other
hand, equipment in 1913 was valu-
ed at S167,522, while in 1914 it was
valued at $151,254, decrease of
$16,2S6. This may have been due
to the estimated depreciation on
new implements, etc.
Bees on the Decrease.
In 1913 there were 1918 hives of
bees, valued at $4.71 each, or q
total of 5000, while in 1914 there
are 1921 valued at $40 each, or
S7,104, decrease of 1895.
However. it will be observed that
there are only two instances In
which decrease in value is shown
ON mules and bees-and in both
cases the estimated unit value has
been materially lowered. In fact
everything on the project is on thu
upward trend.
