LAND LEVEL|NC QUESTION
DISCUSSED BY FARMERS
Resolutions Unanimously Adopted
Requesting Government to Con-
tract With Farmers

The meeting of the Water Users
and Homesteaders held in the Rex
Theater last Thursday afternoon
was thoroughly representative of the
interests of the valley and unusually
successful of results.
The object of the meeting was to
prepare an outline of the needs of
the farmers of the valley and to
formulate resolutions for presenta-
tion to Governor Boyle on the occas-
ion of his visit to Fallon Saturday,
these to urge state aid for the prep
aration of land
Robert Hodgen was elected chair
man and II. E. Beaudreau secretary
of the meeting. thc latter presenting
set of resolutions previously pre-
pared by number of hometseaders.
These resolutions brought up con-
siderable discussion largely directed
to the cost of land leveling
1t was stated by member of the
Reclamation Service present that the
average cost of rough leyeling by
tractors under the government was
5000 per acre but the animated
debate following this statement led
to considerable modification of it.
The trend of feeling was toward
the adoption of the plan of land lev
cling contracts with the farmers at
cost not to exceed $4,000 per acre
and the working out of the plans
defined in the resolutions to obtain
from the State, county and Reclama-
tion Service sums representing In the
aggregate about 100000. the man
ner of distributing this sum to be de-
eided upon by the interests repre-
sented in the loans.
After a full and free discussion
the resolutions, which are to be
found in the column of the proceed
ing of the Saturday meeting with
Governor Boyle In attendance, were
unanimously adopted.
A motion was then adopted that
the chair appoint committe of sew
en-, one from each district of which
the chairman shall be one to prepare
the resolutions in suitable form and
that these be wired at once to Secre-
tary Franklin X. Lane.
The following were appointed on
the committee: II. E. Beaudreau. w
d. Moody, Dave Anderson, Dan Ev-
ans, Edmund Dietz, w. G. Rawles.

Whatever may have been the

enticing fairy.
In this part entitled .The Awak-
ening OF Spring" came the solo
dance "rhe Call of Spring by Betty
Shaw. Such a pretty elhn figure as
was this little maid in her dainty
costume and difficult poses as she
drifted across the stage in the per
feet timing of her dance. giving evil
dence not only of her thorough
training but also of devotion to her
part.
This was followed by song

teen of the tiniest tots who had al

in order to catch sight of the previ-

part as though they truly enjoyed It.
Then came "yoiceG Of Spring
consisting of a solo by anna Abbott
who looked exquisitely pretty as she
held the ribbons over her eight small
girls who took the part OF floral
ponies.
Next there danced onto the stage
and speedily into the hearts OF the
audience Tayiin Kinney most accu-
rately costumed as a butterfly and
rarely is TO be seen more graceful
and rhythmic movement than in the
excellent portrayal OF the glorious
hued insect by this little maid. The
little creatures of the air so well
characterized by her would no doubt
gladly welcome her as one of their
near kindred
The next number was folk dance
by four boys and four girls repre-
senting eight mother goose eharac-
ters. and this was followed by a
splendidly executed Virginia reel by
seven boys and an equal number OF
girls.
The reviving OF the graceful Min
uet, the dance so loved by our
grandfathers and grandmothers. was
prettily done by Isabel Loring in the
character of George Washington and
Isabel Davis as Martha Washington.
The concluding number Was a
march and drill by 16 boys and girls

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR THE
TRUcKEE-CARSON PROJECT
Resumption of Tractor Leveling Au-
thorized and Sec. Lane Sends
Encouraging Message

The Standard has been literally
deluged with requests for informa-
tion on the tractor leyeling program
by the Reclamation Service as notice
had been given out that this work
had been suspended upon orders
from Washington issued through the
local Office.
The rumor had also gone abroad
that the suspension was due to re-
cent articles in the Standard where
in 1t was stated that the cost of
rough leveling ranged from $4,000
to $4,000 per acre. Evidently
there was no foundation for the
statement that the suspension was
the result of the publication of the
above figures, as doubtless the fig
ures of the Project Manager giving
the average cost of leveling to be
about $500 per acre would be ac-
cepted in Washington as accurate.
And for the further comfort of the
homesteader a telegram has been
sent to Project Manager j. F Rich
ardson from Washington authoriz-
ing the resumption of land leveling
at cost not to exceed $500 per
acre which is more in accordance
with the tenor of dispatches to the
Editor of the Standard from Secre-
tary Franklin X. Lane, all of these
declaring the department in SYM
pathy with the plans outlined by the
Water Users for the best methods Of
land leveling.
From these and also from mess
ages from Chief Engineer A. P. Da-
Wis the outlook for relief to the
farmers on the Truckee-Carosn pro-
ject was never brighter and 1t only
remains for the settlers to continue
to maintain their present united
front and persistent efforts to con-
vince the powers of the business Of
their cause and their desire to ad-
vance every movement for the bet
terment of the valley.
The following kilograms indicate
that the voice of the farmers of the
valley has at last been heard in
Washington:
