WALKER RIVER STORAGE

On request OF some OF the water
users on Walker River | will endeav-
or to make a statement relative TO
the feasibility OF the proposed Alkili
Lake Reservoir. | have had occasion
to look into this matter in connection
with storage studies for the Indian
Irrigation Service, and for this reason
it was thought that | might have
learned something of interest to the
water users directly concerned.
OF the several sites that could
be used the Alkili Lake site is un-
doubtedly the best and most econom-
ical. 1t is a natural basin lying west OF
West Walker River at an elevation
such that it can be filled by divert
ing water from the river thru fed
canal. The water, thus stored, can
be returned to the river, as necessary.
The river bed where the water is re-
tsrned. is several miles below the
place OF diversion. about fifty feet
lower in altitude A great basin Of
about forty-five feet deep can therefor
be stored and then released, as re-
ouired thru a tunnel and open cut.
hee flow being regulaed by outer
gates.
A storage site OF this sort is unusual
and has important advantages over
the usual site which is located in the
main waterway. 1t is safe from floods
and no massive dam is needed as
would be in the latter case. For these
reasons the cost should be low.
The storage capacity to be devel-
oped is about $1,000 acre tet. which
means that sufficient water can be
stored each year to cover $4,000 acres
OF land one foot deep. This supply
would be sufficient to finish OH over
10000 acres of crops, allowing tor
loss in conveyance. We have estimated
the storage requirments OF Walk
err River Indian Reservation at one
acre foot per acre delivered on the
land. The reservation being III the
lower end of the valley and having the
last chance at flood water, probably
needs more storage water per acre
than the lands above.
In 1911. Duryea. Hall and Gilman,
Civil Engineers. made preliminary
study and report of this project. m
Guiding an estimate OF cost. ms
estimate. of course, was based upon
the then prevailing prices. In the
course of my studies | went over this
estimate increasing all prices to bring
them up to date, and arrived at the fig
ure of 80 per acre foot OF storage
capacity.
Although this is an increase OF near
ly 90 per cent over the 1911 estimate,
it is still very low in comparison with
the costs of some of the most success
full storage projects. The~Boise Pro-
iect in Idaho has been made wonder
fully prosperous by the Arrowrock
Reservoir WHICH cost about SZ4ou
per acre foot of storage capacity Land
that sold for SIS per acre before that
dam was built was bringing $500 per
acre last fall, This increase was partly
due to the war, OF course, but the tact
that unimproved land, on which con-
struction charges are unpaid, is selling
for $500 per acre is positive proof OF
the success of the project The climate

70 think Of Christmas is al the
same time to think Of Santa
Claus, a parsonage who has en-
ioyed universal popularity for
centuries. Tlps prince Of philan-

friend of childhood but in his
great heart is love for all man-
kind. Some worldly-wlse people
deny his existence, but these are
unllnowing, shallow-minded folks.
Santa Claus is just as real at this
hour as George Washington. The
real Washington is not the dust
in the sarcophagus at Mt, Vernon
but is the idea, or the image,
which exists in the minds and
hearts of his countrymen, and
Santa Claus the real Santa Claus,
