the west Walker river In Hoye canyon
TO Smith Valley, being some twelve
miles in length and costing over
100000 and which has been under
construction for the past two years.
was completed last week and Tuesday
afternoon the headgates were opened
and water turned into the canal for
the first time L. Saronia of San
Francisco was present at the opening
OF the canal
The building of this irrigation canal
means the reclamation of some three
thousand acres of first class land in
Smith Valley and the establishment
of many new homes in that section.
The holdings will be subdivided into
small tracts and sold on easy terms.
Mr.. Saronia has displayed the great
est of enterprise in his undertaking
and the placing of water on this large
tract of land means untold benefits
to the interest in Smith Valley as
well as opening wonderful oppor-
tlInities to those who desire to en-
gage in farming.

announced here tonight. Is to raise
the waters Of Lake Tahoe. providing

used in production OF hydro-electric

were unfounded and the plan as laid
out by the government, is to lower
the lake four inches from the high
water mark and twenty-one inches
below the water mark of 1907, when
the high water did great damage. The
government has asked for quit claim

ONE CAUSE OF FAILURE.

Dear Cornerites, One and All: There
 was a good lesson in what one of the
 Sisters wrote several weeks ago, about
 the experience of soldier boy in
 France who was able to make such a
 good impression because his dear mother had insisted upon proper ta-
 ble manners for her son.
 It reminded me of an incident of which I heard, when boy from a
 suburban. town, who wanted to make his way in the big city, called by ap- pointment on woman whose duty it was to engage employees for a string of great hotels.
 There was. much for her say-so; ; hut she seemed . very quiet, insignifi- cent person, as she sat at her desk. The young man was in real need of a position; had he obtained it from her | it would have meant not only fair salary, but plenty of geod food while he was making his way in a certain 1 line of professional study in the city Well, what do 70 uthink he did? When shown into her office by a bell hop he staIked up to the desk and stood there with his hat down over his ears! You will probably guess just whai happened,
 The woman at the desk noted every move and act: she heard the boys story, and really was impressed by his need of assistance. But she did not let her warm heart influence her te overlook his lack of courtesy. | She merely said in businesslike tone: T will make a memorandum of your case.
