STROTHER FORTUNE
. OF EARLY COMSTOCK

Enoch Strother settled on the Com
stock lode in the sixties. He left the
lode several years ago and settled in
Iowa, where he died 'carly year
ago. His wife remained on the lode
and within a few weeks of his death
she filed an AFFIDAVIT claiming a
widows exemption of $1,000 ron tax

from the burden of .sxatlon. in ad-
dition to the reductions mad. in the
regular" way. She died a short time
ago, and contest was .nstit ired by
remote heirs to set aside an alleged
will, and the court set it aside, afitr
rather exciting revelations. yhich
showed that the superintendent of
the asylum for the insane was on the
wrong side of the walls.
The manner in which Enoch Stro-
ther accumulated a fortune. which
owing to the law-alone-he was en-
titled to call his, is far from void OF
interest.
Mr.. Strother was a man nearly six
feet tall, weighed about 180 pounds
had swarthy complexion, and hail
between kinky and curly. He was a
quiet. reserved, soft-sopken, but in
tense observant man. He observed
that money on the Comstock arose
and fell like ocean tides, and he cal
culated how money could be made
from that fact, and calculated right
He observed that there was small

stock gambling game, and he observ'

little inside of his own. He purchas

SOLDIERS SURPRISE
HEARERS At TRAIN

Members of the Winnemucca Red
Cross Canteen Committee have had a
busy time yesterday and today Be-
sides serving" the regular trains, two
special troop trains have been met and
the scrappers given refreshments. At
10:45 o'clock yesterday morning a
troop train over the Western Pacific
was met by the workers. This was a
train carrying Kanakis from the Ha-
wiian Islands and those who were on
hand at the depot were Unexpectedly
and pleasantly surprised. Hawaiian
string instruments were produced and
the native boys sang songs, among
them being The Red Cross Nurse in
No Mans Land" The music was ad-
judged excellent The Hawaiians had
come to the United States from the
Islands six weeks ago and expressed
great admiration and wonder. They
were bound for Philadelphia.
This morning another troop train
passed through over the Western Pa
cific and was likewise met by the Can
teen members. The train arrived here
at 1870 am. and there were four
carloads of American engineers from
France aboard. bound for the Preside
and that wonderful discharge. One
incident was the meeting by Victor
Reinhart of former army companion,
Sergeant ]. Gianella OF the 316th en-
gineers, whose home is at Modesto,
California. The former buddies had
great time talking over ways and
means in which they secured delica-
cies without knowledge of the mess
sergeant and other escapades of like
nature.

MORE CONCERNING
IRRIGATION SCHEME

Concerning prospects of an irriga-
ton project along the Humboldt
river, mention of which has been
made heretofore, the Carson City
News brings further facts to light,
following:
There is a big program mapped
out between the government and state
on reclamation projects especially on
the Humboldt river sections. This
fact was developed during the hear
ing of the injunction suit in Reno, in
which State Engineer Scrugham out
lined the plans. This all depends in a
large measure on the disolving of the
injunctions and the clearing of titles
on the Humboldt water way. 1t also
applies to other districts held up by
law suits involving rights and re-
straining the state engineer from
making adjudications.
The idea at present Of the engi-
neer and the governor is to stop
al "oeCi ouieS, uuiI pdyih6 io"ySiS
and allow progress to take the place
of the everlasting lawing and no
results. In the southern end of the
state this plan was agreed to and
projects will be taken up there which
will materially benefit the entire
section. With law suits pending and
titles clouded the federal aid cannot
be granted.
Under assurance from the govern
ment, Colonel Scrugham has made
public the fact that at least three
million of dollars will be available
! for the storage of water and the
| betterment of the river-ways In the
state.
Yesterday telegraphic advice was
received by the engineer that all
plans, data and surveys of the recla-
nation bureau would be available
for state use and urged the immed-
late installation of preliminary work
| by this state. 1t is also conceded
| that state supervision of the funds
and materials will be granted, which
is one of the points which the engi-
neer and others interested in this
big program have been working for.
| With tie clearing of titles, which
it is believed will follow, it will be
possible to take on the projects that
mean much for central and south
ern Nevada.
| Between the Humboldt projects. the
Moapa and other southern schemes,
together with the soldier settlement
land law, there is the largest pro-
gram of progress ahead in this state
during its history. This is all state
and federal undertaking and does not
include several private settlement
projects that are well under way at
the present time, as several big land
deals are pending, which when COM
pleted, will openup lands for set
| tlement under long time payments.
1t is certainly the most promising
outlook for the state as whole since
the organization of statehood.
