OPENING DAY


The streets of the city were throng-
ed today with people interested in
the county fair and East Fifth street
was crowded with automobiles and
other vehicles transporting people
and exhibits to the fair grounds. A
large amount of live stock was
brought in by farmers for exhibition
purposes, consisting OF horses, cattle,
etc. Some fine animals were noticed
in the line of march to the grounds.
Today has been devoted TO receiving
exhibits and a considerable array of
farm products have been listed in ad-
dition to live stock.
The work of establishing tents and
other facilities for the amusement
features Of the fair has kept an army
of workmen employed and many peo-
pie visited the grounds to witness
the work in progress.
The list of horses on the grounds
to enter the races is beyond expecta-
ton and the barns are far from ade-
quate for their accommodation. All
the barns on the grounds are filled to
their capacity beside the large barn
adjoining the grounds and lumber
was hauled to the grounds today to
build a temporary barn for the ac-
commodation of the overflow. The
racing program is far superior to
anything ever before attempted at
the fair and will be a big drawing
card.
Tomorrow the fair will be in full
swing with races, amusements and
fireworks in the evening, and with
favorable weather conditions which
now seems probable there will be
three big days at the fair grounds.

FARMERS INSTITUTE

several of the workers in agricultural
extension will be here on the nights
of the 10Th and 10Th to hold the insti-
tute and confer with farmers, dairy
men, hog raisers, cattle men and the
citizens generally. They will also
bring with them Miss Norma ]. Davis
TO give demonstrations to women and
girls on various problems of cooking
and household management. Mr.. v.

day and take trip through the val
ley to get i'll touch with the dairymen
and others to find out what import
ant problems they are meeting with,
and at the same time interest them in
attending the institute. Yerington

people pleasant and show some en-
thusiasm in the interest they are tax
ing for the benefit of our valley.

MAD COYOTES

A letter received by Mrs. Roy Nc
Oregon relates that cattle men and
sheep men in that vicinity are having
much trouble with mad coyotes which
are destroying great deal of stock.
Mr.. Greeley tells about losing nine
teen head of cattle so far by having
them bitten by these coyotes that have
the rabies. The last coyote that Wis
tied his herd bit two fine cows and a
calf and then going to a sheep camp
some distance away attacked the herd
er who was in his cabin asleep. The
man protected himself with the bed
clothes and was not bitten.
These coyotes become mad from
long affliction with the mango and
their bite is deadly They attack any
animal or person that comes in their
way and they are becoming very nu
merous in Oregon and are getting
down into the northern part of Ne
vada. Some means should be devised
to kill them if they get into this State
and it might be a good idea for the
Legislature to provide for a good sized
bounty on the animals. 1t would be a
serious thing for stockmen and sheep
men to have the coyotes in this State
become infected with the rabies.

LAHONTAN DAM
NOW IMPOUNDS
LAKE OF WATER

After four years of work the great
Lahontan dam on the Carson River
for the Truckee-C Carson Government
Irrigation Project is completed at
cost of $1,500,000, which is slightly
under the first estimates.
1t is believed that shortages of
water, which harrassed homesteaders
during the early years of the recla-
nation work on the desert, are now at
an end for all time. The dam will
back water up for distance of nearly
eighteen miles in the Carson River,
forming an immense artificial lake.
The flow of the Carson may be aug
mented by part of the flow of the
Truckee River, conveyed in an i'm
mense open canal from the Derby
dam to the Lahontan Reservoir.
The storage capacity at Lahontan
is 100000 acre feet, and the shore line
of the artificial lake, when full, will
be fifty miles The lakes greatest
depth will be l20 feet and its greatest
width two and quarter miles.
To protect the dam during periods
of great food, spillways have been
provided at each side of sufficient
capacity to easily take care of any
excess water The water for irrigat-
ing project lands is drawn off
through conduits in the base of the
dam into spillway pool. The gates
are controlled FROM a tower in the
lake, just above the dam
The total length of the dam at the
top is LOO feet and the length at
the base is 200 feet, while the great
est thickness is 600 feet. Eight hun
dred thousand yards of earth and
10000 yards of concrete were used in
the construction of the dam.
The cost of storage is figured at
about SIS per acre foot of capacity,
everything considered.
The project now has about $4,000
acres in cultivation and facilities have
been provided for opening new lands
as fast as required for settlement

MORE WHISKY PEDDLING

+. w. Brooks arrested Jack Helix

He was caught giving Piute Indian
named Jake Stewart a bottle of whisky
in the toilet back in the l.. & L. sa
loon. Stewart works in the saloon
as a porter and will be held as a wit
ness. He has made the statement
that he had no trouble in getting Halk
and others to procure whisky for him
whenever wanted and the money was
forthcoming. Stewart has acted as a
go-between for Indians who want
whisky and produce the money to pay
for it, and the white men who get low
enough to procure it for them on a
percentage.

LIKES THIS DISTRICT

Mrs. A. Matrias, of San Francisco,

of Mrs. R. NJ Smith at the Brooks
Cottage. She has been looking over
this section with view to investment
in some of the good things. She may
decide to put in with Mrs. Smith in
the development of some of the gold
prospects in the Piute Flat section as
she is very much pleased with waht
she has seen. Should she do so Yeri-
