FALLoN. NEVADA. WEDNESDAY. APRIL ID. 1915


On Saturday evening, May 1st at
O'Clock at the Temple theater an
entertainment will be given by the
grammar schools of Churchill coun-
ty. The program will consist of
plays, musical selections and folk
dancing. The net money received at
this entertainment will be used to
finance the Churchill county gram
rlar school tract meet.
Hitherto the teachers of this
county have run the meet without
thy funds, and depended solely up
en- the gate money taken in on the
csy of the track meet The meets
CT former years were intensely in
teresting, but presented little to the
competitors In the way of tangible
reward because of this lack of funds.
This year the teachers wish to
change the conditions and run the
meet as nearly as possible like a
University track meet
In order to make any meet a sue
cess the competitors should have
something worth while in the way of
z trophy to work for. By having
this entertainment, the teachers
think it will be possible to purchase
the cups and medals considerable
time before the meet. Then these
trophies can be displayed before
lfay 2Sth. and thus a greater inter-
est will be aroused.
The program on May 1st should
lie entertaining to a high degree.
Zach school in the county during the
past year has prepared many bright,
entertaining progi ans. The best
part of these programs will be CIV

preeedented success.
At a meeting of the committee on
rules and regulations held last Sat

contestant to five personal events;
three field and two track, and two

VITAL PROPOSAL PUT FORWARD
Government Authorities to Submit
Plan Entailing Expenditure of
$350,OO0 on Open Drains

A proposal will shortly be submit
ted to the project water users by the
local reclamation officials embody-
ing a complete and comprehensive
plan for project drainage, probably
the livest subject at the present
time to a great number of The land
owners of the project. In its sub
mission to the water users, the object
sought is uniform approval or disap-
proval. the disposal of the scheme
being entirely optional with the wat
er users of the Truckee-Carson pro-
ject
Inasmuch as the plan will entail
the expenditure of 100000 of mon
ey, chargeable to the lands benefited,
at ratio of about $500 per acre,
the proposed innovation is the most
important undertaken here since the
project was brought to its present
stage of completion
This plan, which has the sanction
of official Washington, eontemplates
the building of so miles of open
cuts, paralleling each other at dis
tances of about a mile apart, the
drains to be of an approximate width
of 80 feet at the top, tapering down
to the seven feet of depth proposed.
For this work, the one giant exca-
vator now belonging to the project
will be augmented by two others
The trend of the open cuts will be
from west to east, the course of the
natural drainage being in this direc-
ton. The object sought is the elm
ination of underground waters
which have hitherto percolated un.
derground and created a condition
that is believed to menace the fer.
tility of considerable body of pro
ject soil, which will thus be freed
from an Objectionable feature
though none the more SO here thar
in other irrigated sections, where
drainage subjects are always on the
tapis.
Should the plan meet with the iap-
proval of the water users it would
be the governments purpose to seek
reimbursement for the large ex-
penditure on the 20-year payment
plan, without interest upon the
principal. Every water user will
have vote on the subject and upon
the decision of those to be affected
viii rest the adoption or rejection OF
the proposal.

Half a part per million of iron In
water is detachable by taste, and
more than four or five parts makes
water unpalatable. In some mineral
springs iron is the constituent which
imparts a medicinal value to the
water, but ordinarily it is undesir-
able. More than 2.5 parts per million
in water used for laundering makes
stain on the clothes. Iron must be
removed from water from which ice
is made Or a cloudy, discolored pro-
duct will result. An iron content of
over 2 or parts per million in
water used in the manufacture of
paper will stain the paper. Iron is
harmful in water used for steaming,
for it is in equilibrium with acids
which inside the boiler become dis
sociated, with the result that the
free acids corrode the boiler plates,
but the amount of iron carried in So
luton by most waters is SO small
that the damage it does to steam
boilers generally amounts to little.
