The debate on the resolution fol-
lowed the same lines as that already
made familiar by the struggle over
the railroad bill. There was no ac-
tual struggle yesterday. The passage
of the resolution was a foregone con
clusion. The Republicans showed
considerable skill in attacking the
Sims forces, as Chairman Sims OF the
House Committee on Commerce war
ranted them Administration sup
porters." One line Of attack involved
the assumption OF a real purpose on
the part of the Administration TO use
the war as a means OF forcing Gov
ernment ownership" with no inten-
tion OF ever surrendering the "publlc
utilities" said to be taken over for
war purposes only. A closely related
assumption was that the taking
over" for war purposes had no neces-
sary relation to Government owner
ship" but did have q very close rela-
tion to taking over" the Government
ownership vote in the November cleo
ton. These two methods OF insinu-
ating the forms OF duplIeity, known
as the cross and the double cross,
were kept at work together below
the surface, while the Republicans
kept on the surface professions OF
their devoted loyalty and entire will
ingness to do anything and every
thing to win the war.
Immediately following the passage
OF the resolution, the House conferees

trouble. Later her heart became

Reclamation
Of Arid Lands

Governor Boyle is now in Washing
ton and it is given out that one of the
important matters he has in view Is
taking up with the Government the
opening of large tracts of land in Ne
vada for the location of returning
soldiers who are soon to become pro-
ducers instead of consumers
While there is much vacant land
throughout Nevada, the Fallon Eagle
believes the lands of the Truckee-
Carson project will doubtless offer the
most inviting opportunities because of
the leveling and preparation of the
land by the Reclamation Service as
wen as the assured water supply
through storage, all the payments to
be made on the 20 year plan without
interest This will open the way to
the soldier with small means to ac-
qaire home and farm that will pro-
duce prolific crops with no cuch thing
as a season of failure.
The Fallon project is a splendid ex-
ample of government control of irri-
cation. as the Eagle states, yet Ne
vadas possibilities in the matter of
reclamation of arid lands, is in no
wise confined to Churchill county.
Thensands of acres of arid land lies
idle in Mason, Smith and Carson Val
leys as well in dozens of other fertile
sections of the state What has been
accomplished in Churchill county,
can be duplicated in many other sec
tions of Nevada.
Carson Valley offers wonderful in
ducements for an irrigation project.
The runoff or flood waters of the
Carson river is sufficient to irrigate
every acre of land in this county
The land that would thus be brought
under cultivation is the best in the
tate. As an actual fact over "a per
cent of all first class agricultural land
IN Nevada lies within the boundarie.
Ct Douglas county. The land not YET
cultivated is of the same fertility as
that already under cultivation.
