EXTENSION ACT.
final Effort Being Made To Induce
Remaining Water Users
To Sign Up.

OF the early 500 water users in
the Truckee-Carson project all but
30 have accepted the terms of the
reclamation extension act. OF this
number practically all are either
large or extremely small users OF
government irrigation water, a num-
Der of contracts being held for from
an acre to 10 or Is acres. To these
the extension act is a matter of
small concern That all may avail
themselves of the benefits of the new
act the local project Office is this
week mailing out letters explaining
that week from today is the last
date upon which the water users
may change their mode of doing
business with the government. Ap-
propos of this matter it is given out
that so per cent of the government s
water users on all projects have
taken advantage of the 20-year ex-
tension law.
1t should be understood. by all
that operation and maintenance
charges will hereafter be assessed on
the acre-foot basis for all lands COW
cred by water right application (also
vested right agreements providing
for the assessed rate) whether or
not the Extension Act is accepted in
connection with the said land. There
fore the matter of operation and
maintenance charges should not en-
ter into consideration in deciding
whether or not one will accept the
new law.

DISCUSS DRAINAGE QUESTION.
Reclamation Authorities Are Consid-
ering This All-important Subject
In Local Conference.

Supervising Engineer e. G. Hop
son, OF Portland. Ore, ID. W. Muir
ply, government drainage engineer
Of Los Angeles. Cal, and Project
Engineer d. w. Cole are in confer
ence this week relative TO the pro-
posed drainage operations for Dis
tricts Nos One and Two north and
south of Fallon. The chief ques-
tions eorrelate around the method
of securing funds for needed work
rather than the manner of INSTALL
ing the drains, as this paper under
stands the matter, the urgent need
of drainage being a recognized fact.
Whether the proposed drainage can
be effected and charged against the
project as a unit or whether each
district must Withstand the expense
incumbent separately, rests largely
If not entirely with the water users
Of the system.
Whatever operations will be COM
menced will be conducted under the
provision of the 20-year extension
act, which is sufficiently pliable to
allow of the contamination OF the
several plans under contemplation.

OUR PROJECT CHARGES.
MAY Not Be In Accordance With Re-
Gently Published Public
Notice.

1t seems that the public notice af-
iscting operation and maintenance
rates for this project, published in
the last issue of the Standard was
promulgated more or less prema-
turely-an instance of officialdom
thinking out loud 1t seems that
the proposed charges are in reality
tentative, the Washington authori-
ties having considerable latitude In
the matter of time in which to pro-
scribe the seasonal operation and
maintenance cost. 1t can be done
carly or late to suit the official
whims. 1t is said that in due course
of time the definite rates will be es-
tablished.
The chief difficulty attaching to
further postponement of the matter
lies in the fact that If these charges
or anything resembling them are to
be actually established later, the ir-
ligationist may pass through an ir-
legation season and later awake to
4 schedule of charges that will dis
count his seasonal efforts. He should
know under what system of charges
ais water is being furnished, if the
graduated rates and not a fiat charge
are to be in effect and make his
plans accordingly. Any other plan
is not fair and equitable.

j. 4. MILLER HOSPITAL BURNS
Fine Structure Burned to the Ground
Monday Entaling $4,000
Loss To Owners.

The J. II. Miller hospital located
southwest of Fallon burned to the
ground early Monday morning.
Catching fire presumably by the over
turning of a lamp in one of the
toilet rooms at about 1890 Monday
morning the fire rapidly gained
headway, defying the scant fire
fighting apparatus at hand, the de-
struction of the fine structure being
fully complete within about two
hours. The loss to Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller, who had given ten years of
their life to the assembling of the
hospital plant, is estimated at about
Sis, 900 in cash. Exclusive of this
sum are the efforts that entered into
the structures erection, Mr.. Miller
performing the greater part of the
work. Built by contract, the build
ing destroyed would probably have
cost nearer s25,000 than $4,000.
There was no insurance upon the
structure or its contents.
So rapidly did the fire gain head
way that access to the building in
terror was quickly made possible.
Practically all of the personal effects
of the familys went up in smoke, a
scant two wagon loads of bedding
and family effects being saved
These were moved Monday to the j.
A. Bailey ranch, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller will complete their contract
with the county for the care of the
county's INDECENT sick, or until such
time as other and more suitable
quarters can be had.
Mr.. Miller may buy the sugar fac
tory boarding house buildings which
would admirably serve the pu-1ose
in mind. Undaunted, he propo4 J; to
commence anew and his spit Is
commendable.
Within the destroyed building at
the time OF the discovery Of the
Monday mornings fire were seven
patients. all of whom escaped in
jury, though their effects we're like
wise destroyed. Mr.. Miller is car
rying his right hand in cast, the
result of serious cuts received in
breaking window to allow OF tbs
playing OF stream of water on the
nIs. Though the leaders are cut and
his hand otherwise badly lacerated
he does not think that serious re-
suits will follow
MIR. Miller took the contract for
the care of the county's INDECENT
sick ten years ago. He, aided by his
estimable wife, always gave the most
conscientious care TO those in their
charge. Throughout this period
they labored painstakingly TO erect
a hospital for county uses that would
do full justice to every demand and
II was only recently that their hand
iwork was crowned with the compile
tion of the 37-room structure, fully
equipped for every kind of hospital
and clinical work.

new ENTERPRISE is ASSURED
Standard Oil Company Let Contract
For Building of Fallon
Oil Station.

Fallon was assured of a new in
dustry Friday afternoon when c. L..
Flint, of San Francisco. acting for
the Standard Oil Company, awarded
to Anders Henricksen the contract
for the installation of the machinery
necessary for the operation of an oil
distribution station in Fallon, and
the building of the appurtenant
sheds, concrete abuttments, fences,
etc, for the sum of $4,000. The
plant will be installed alongside the
railroad spur in the Oats addition
and work must start at once, ac-
cording to the terms of the contract
given Mr.. Henricksen, the desire of
the Standard Oil Company being the
earliest possible consummation of
their local enterprise. Only a little
more than month will be required,
1t is said, for the completion of the
plant, the total cost of which will
exceed $4,000, including the ma
chinery to be installed.
Like all Standard Oil construction,
the local plant will be a model of
excellence in every detail The
tanks, three in number will be set
in concrete, and this material to-
R6INeT WITH steel anu iron Will con-
stitute the principal building ma
terals.
The building will be constructed
of galvanized iron with concrete
foundations. The main building
will be 33x40 feet, besides an office
building, pump house, 22x32
stable and a 22x32 wagon shed
There will be three steel tanks of
38S barrels capacity each, for Pearl
oil. gasoline and distillate. A good
size open fence will be constructed
around the plant to guard against
intruders.
The Standard Oil company does
not sell oil at retail but only to mer-
chants. pumping plants, etc., max
ing deliveries with the oil tank
wagon within a radius of 10 miles
around Fallon.
The supply of oil will be shipped
from the Standard Oil company's
big plant at Richmond, California,
and pumped from the car tanks into
the steel tanks, which will be ele-
waited sufficiently to use the gravity
system in filing the oil tank wagons
for local delivery.
