postage stamps for Egypt comes into
use February l. There are ten desig-
nations in the adhesive series, in value
ranging from one to two hundred MILL

each. o."
The opportunity has been taken in
this series, as in other countries in late

Characteristic figure or scene. Thus In
this issue are finely engraved pictures
of the Sphynx, the Golossi of Thebes,
the pylon Of Karnak, the Temple of
Abu Simhel and convent ional portrait
of Cleopatra, with other subjects; the
one.hupdred'millicmes stamp, illustrat.
ing the Temple of Abu Simbel, is a
particularly handsome label. ist."
There is, in addition, a series of EN-.
blessed envelope stamps of the old de.
sign, but IN new colors. The adhesive
stamps are surface printed from de,
signs spbtnitted by the Egyptian postal
authorities. 'f t'A -
The ten stamps make an exceedingly
handsome set, and a great improvement
upon previous Egyptian emissions.

LAHoNToN DAM
IS TO BE FILLED

The big gates at Lahontan dam will
be closed the last of this week and
the process of storing a part of the
carson watershed runoff win be ac-
tive. At present the cubic foot flow
at the dam averages around 1.200 and
this will be made to mount up as the
impounding process continues. The
present capacity of the dam is 10000
acre feet of stored water though it
is only aimed to store from 10000 to
10000 acre feet of water from the
larson flow for 1914 project users.
Project Engineer ID. w. Cole states
that the work of building the dam
will probably proceed more rapidly
from this time forward than the
storage process. i'm another week,
with the raising of the temporary
spillway, the dams capacity in
ereases. Finally, when completed it
will impound 100000 acre feet of wa
ter for irrigation perposes here, thus
assuring an independent supply for
uses in this part of the project.
Last Monday the Truckee river
Flow under the impetus given by the
warmer weather, jumped in its vol
ume Of water at Derby dam from L.
zoo cubic feet to 1850 and it has since
been quite high. There is no doubt
however, but that the Fernley and
Hazen districts of the project win
draw a plentiful supply of irrigation
water from the Truckee this season,
adequate for every prpose. Project
Engineer u. w. Cole states that the
snow 10 still banked up in the noun
tains and that the supply will be
abundant throughout tho year
