Especial Correspondence of the Be-


Especial Correspondence Of the Be-

WASHINGTON, March s.-A petit
tion, signed by almost everyone Of
Importance in Reno and vicinity has
been sent TO the secretary of the in
terror asking for government aid in
securing water for the irrigation OF
the Lemons valley, which lies just
north of Reno and near the California
boundary. The name of GOV, Emmett
D. Boyle heads the list, which in
cudes many state officials, profess
sional and business men. The petit
ton is as follows
Whereas, There are more than
10000 acres of the richest and most
fertile agricultural lands of the State
Of Nevada. lying in Lemons valley,
about eight miles north of Reno, in
the County of Washoe. and
Whereas. Surveys have heretofore
been made showing that water suffi-
cient to irrigate all of said lands can
be obtained and conducted thereto;
and
Whereas. The cultivation Of said
10000 acres OF land would increase
the population and promote the bust
ness interests of Reno and vicinity
and be of inestimable benefit thereto,
and greatly add to the productiveness
and wealth of this state
Now, therefore, we, the undersigned
citizens of the United States and
residents of the State of Nevada, do
hereby petition and request you 70
procure the assistance of the govern
ment of the United States in con
structing the necessary reservoirs and
other works for impounding flood wa.
ters and conducting the same to said
lands for the purpose of irrigating
the same. And your petitioners will
ever pray"
This movement has been underway
for some time. In fact, efforts have
been made for years to secure irriga-
ton in this region, and Honey Lake,
across the boundary line in California
has been talked of for years as q
source of water for irrigation.
Senators Newlands and Pittman are
very greatly interested in this lates
agitation for new irrigation district
and they will do everything in thei'
power TO cooperate with the interior
department in making II reality.
