LAHoNTAN PROJECT NOW
NEARING COMPLETION

The nearing completion of the La
hontan dam is an absolute and un-
doubted assurance that the Truckee-
Carson project viii endure through
out all time, for the water supply
now made certain is positively suf-
ficient for every project need, when
augmented by the supply available
through the Truckee canal, a $780,
600 link connecting the Truckee and
Carson watersheds, says the Fallon
Standard. With the completion Of
the negotiations now in progress af-
fecting rights to the waters of Lake
Tahoe, the federal government will
be in position to fulfll every con
tract which has been or may be en-
tered into in the future with the set
tiers of the project. Climate, soil
and an abundance of water are the
essential factors for the conversion
of the desert into a veritable land of
milk ana honey.

CYCLONE
CROSSES CAMP
IN NARROW TRAIL
PICKED UP WHOLE SHEETS OF
CORRUGATED IRON AND CAR
RIED THEM ACROSS TOWN.

A virile young twister brought
some new curves into camp yester.
day afternoon that filled all beholders
with amazement and the trouble
shooters of the power company with
surprise. For half an hour power
was off on the hill and in the west
ern end of the district, owing to
sheet of corrugated iron having been
carried from Oddie mountain to the
vicinity of the foundry, where it
lodged across two high tension wires
and brought the business of the
camp to a standstill The iron was
wrapped around both wires as though
it had been clamped with hammers
and it took some time for John Dix,
the trouble man, to locate the trou-
bic and remove the cause.
The twister hove in sight about
1880 from the east and resembled a
miniature Kansas tornado. Every
thing portable was lifted from the
ground over a narrow width of pos
sibly 100 yards and carried up to a
height of several hundred feet, where
ii turned in an aerial vortex, mean.
while continuing in a southeasterly
direction until it dissipated itself on
the open desert. An off shoot switch
ed off in the direction of the opera
tors hospital and brought tons of
dust wherever it passed, filling resi-
dences with unwholesame clouds and
then passing off in a jiffy.
