Between 1900 and 1000 Nevada
farms will be surveyed with respect
to acreage and production of import
ant crops, number and kind of live
stock and farm labor conditions dur
ing this month. The survey is order
ed by the government and will be con-
Quoted by the public schools of the
state in cooperation with the agri-
Gu tural extension division of the

acquainted with them. Surely they
could make more progress If they
knew what was what.
When the original irrigation law
was passed, it provided that the Sec
retary of the Interior should investi-
gate and report upon feasible irriga-
ton projects. The Secretary for
such purposes, created an Irrigation
Board. This board recommended the
socailed Truckee-Carson Project in
Nevada and California and designated
ii as consisting of three units, namely,
the I,ahontan, the Dayton or Alkali
lake and the Alpine or Upper Carson.
The Secretary of the Interior, in ac-
cordanee with the Act. reported fav-
orably upon this project as outlined
by the board. In accordance with the
further provisions of the Act, board
OF army egineers was constituted to
make surveys and estimates of this
project, together with other projects
recommended by the board in United
states. This army board made esti-
mates for the Lahontan Unit and the
Dayton or Alkai Unit, but made no
estimate or report upon the Alpine
or Upper Carson Unit
The construction of the Lahontan
Unit was Immediately undertaken and
was practically completed in 1914.
Act denying the authority of the De-
partment of the Interior to utilize the
revolving irrigation fund without an
express appropriation of Congress.
The Committees On Appropriations
emphatica ly informed the Secretary
of the Interior that no appropriations
would be made for new projects until
returns commenced to come in from
the projects already constructed or
under construction. Senator New
lands endeavored to have the Depart
ment of the Interior commence con-
struction of the Alpine or Upper Car
son Unit. He was informed by the
Secretary of Interior of the action of
Congress had that he, the Secretary
considered the Alpine Project q new
project and that therefore such work
could not be commenced at the pres
ent time. Senator Newlands appar-
emily concurred In the opinion of the
Secretary of the Interior and from the
information then in my possession
was of the same opinion. Senator
pittman then, with the approval of
Senator Newiands, again took the
matter up with the Department of the
Interior. He first saw Mr.. Newall

and several other officers of the Ir-
rigation Service, held with the Sec
retary of the Interior that the Alpine
or Upper Carson Unit was a new pro-
ject and that therefore nothing could
be done with 1t at the present time.
Shortly thereafter Mr.. Davis sue
ceeded Mr.. Newall as Director of Ir-
rigation. Senator Pittman again took
the matter up with Mr.. Davis who
agreed with Mr.. Pittman that 1t was
not new project but unit of pro-
ject already recommended and sug-
gested that he take it up with the full
Irrigation Board and the Board held
that 1t was a new project because II
had never been estimated for or re-
ported on by the Board Of Army
Engineers. Senator Pittman con-
tended that the limits and units Of the
project were determined by the Ir-
rigation Board and not by the Board
of Army Engineers; that failure of
the Board of Army Engineers to do
its duty, which was purely minister
ial and discretionary, could not elimi-
nate one of the units from the pro-
ject or in any way change the limits
OF such project. TheBoard, however,
disagreed with him. He appealed the
matter to the Secretary of Interior
and the Secretary of the Interior after
hearing full argument upon the mat
ter. held with Senator Pittman and
decided that the Alpine or Upper Car
son Project was not a new project, but
only part of the Carson -Truckee
Project Under such view of the law
he imediately decided to use the funds
in the project to institute the con-
struction of such unit. In accordance
with such decision, he Immediately
sent engineers out to investigate and
report upon the feasibility of the pro-
ject and to make estimates of cost.
These reports were favorable and
Mr.. Truesdale, one of the attorneys of
the Irrigation Department, was then
sent to Carson Valley for the purpose
of obtaining the necessary action on
the part Of the water owners and
water users and enter into the nec-
essary contracts.
All Of these facts are a matter of
record In the Department and Bureau
referred to.
The situation now is that as soon
as the farmers in Douglas County
adopt the resolution required. by the
Reclamation Service whereby they
turn over their water to the Govern
ment and receive in return therefor
a guaranteed water light, the reser-
voirs at the headwaters of the Carson
River will be built, Notwithstanding
the fact that the Government can not
appropriate any money for new pro-
jects. earnestly urge that the
water users to fulfill government re-
quirements, for they have everything
to gain and nothing to lose.
1t would seem that for his services
in this important matter, due recogni-
tion should be given to Senator Pitt
man, especially In view of the fact
that some attorneys for the irrigation

have been replaced by trains over the
Pennsylvania.
Under the new time table. Perth

from this fact the Central station here
Will hereafter be known as the New
York & Long Branch station. As Is
true of every station now on the New

this station will be good on both the
ain of the Pennsylvania and Gem

at either the New Jersey Central Ter
minal or Pennsylvania station in New
York are acceptable on both roads.
The Central train due to arrive In
this city from New York at 9:17 in the
morning has been changed to 9:09:
the 2:23 to 2:06. The 1927 train in the

Discontinued. and In its place a Penn
~sylvania train leaving the Pennsylva-
MIA station at $50, arriving in this

leaving the Central terminal at Liberty
street each night at 1901 O'Clock. and
known as the theatre train has been
discontinued although ON Saturday
night this train is run from the
Pennsylvania station, arriving here at

Considerable change has also taken
place in h trains to New York. The
Pennsylvania train which left here at
1929 mornings now caves at 1928.
The Central train which left at 1852.
now leaves at 1850: the Central ex-
press which left every morning at $40

TO II VOTERS OF
THE BOROUGH OF
kEYPORT, N. ].

In presenting the name of Edward S. Smith as candidate for
mayor, we feel that a brief sketch of his life at this time is permits
sale.
Mr.. Smith was born in the city of Perth Amboy 30 years ago of
genuine American parents and at an early age, he took up his
studies in the public schools of that city; where he graduated with
honor from the high school.
Mr.. Smith was then apprenticed to the firm of Donehue & Levy,
one of the largest building firms in this state. Mr.. Smith, being of
an ambitious turn of mind soon after took up a course of mechanical
engineering in the Institute of Cooper Union in New York City,
from which he graduated with high honors.
When still an apprentice he became foreman for said firm and
many of the beautiful buildings of Perth Amboy stand as a monu-
ment to his mechanical ability and skill and also many of the large
factory buildings by his supervision were erected and among them
the Chesebrough Vaseine and also a plant of the largest tobacco
factory in the county of Middlesex.
In 1914 the great firm of the DUPONT Powder Co. of Parin, n.
j, recognized his STEERING qualities as an engineer and secured his
services for whom he built more than 80 acres of buildings and hand
led the employment of 5000 mechanics and laborers. After which
Mr.. Smith Identifies himself with the Aero Marine Plane and Motor
Co. and by his skill and genius has built this magnificent plant.
Mr.. Smith is quiet of manner and unassuning, but efable by
nature, a smile for all, a pleasant word for everybody.
Mr.. Smith is a Democrat of the present Wilson type, 100 per
6ept. AMERICAN and OF the sure acid test, therefore the Edward S.
-iiti-l smttee are asking support of all loyal citizens in his
candidacy and he promises to give to the borough of Keyport a pro-
gressive administration. y
