THOUGHTFUL NONSENSE

Sing a song Of Europe,

Issuing commands.
The queens are in the parlor
Where etiquette demands.
The bankers in the counting house,
Are busy multiplying,
The common people at the front,
Are doing all the dying.

THE NEW WATER SURVEY

That is a splendid movement recently undertaken by
cooperation of the Federal Bureau OF Irrigation and the
State University of Nevada i'll an effort to determine the
available underground water supply of the state. And al
ready, before results are determined or data published,
there are hundreds of acres of additional land under
cultivation, while every successful development means
other attempts.
AS Professor Scrugham maintains, however, it is not
merely a question of water supply; it is also a question OF
transportation. In several instances power lines are al
ready established or can be extended 10 the territory where
water is found. In other instances 1t means the trans
portation of machinery, oil and other supplies. But even
with cheap power at hand, crops can not be marketed with
out railroads. except in the form of livestock. Two con-
elusive and typical demonstrations OF this condition are
found in this vicinity, namely, Fish Lake Valley and Bic
Smokey Valley. But when we consider that even under
present conditions land in Fish Lake Valley has sold at a
price as high as 500 per acre, and If we estimate only IS,
600 acres for which water would be available. the problem
is a big one and transportation facilities will follow, for
they will be profitable. That is half the area of the Fal-
ion project, which cost 100000.
We have been preaching irrigation and development
Tor many years and maybe sometimes we grow weary and
discouraged and our readers numb. But if the present
movement has come or been hurried as a result of these
preachments we are fully repaid and happy again.
