DRAINAGE BOARDS PLANS
WERE APPROVED MONDAY
Board Approved Plans for Project
Drainage Meeting Monday

Plans submitted by the reelama-
ion service drainage board for the
correction OF seepage conditions Oh
this project were approved by the
hoard of directors of the Trnckee-
carson irrigation district, meeting
Monday. With this approval and its
subsequent ratification by the land
owners of the valley. the govern
ment reclamation service will pro-
ceed with the fulfillment of the
plans. These provide for the con-
struction of three classes of drains.
all to constitute single system in
their finality. Glass one drains are
proposed as follows: Upper Soda
Lake, Lower Soda Lake, South Fork
Drain. New River Drain. &c. Ex-
tension Drain. Diagonal Drain. Har-
mon Extension, LID" Drain, "AD"
Drain, Piute Drain. West Side Drain.
Carson Lake Drain. 81" Drain, Fern
ley South Drain. Keddie Drain.
These involve drain construction
of total mileage of 81.20 at
total cost Of s54e,323. whieh
charge will be apportioned against . n
acreage of e6,375. an average per
aere cost of sS.23. The estimated
excavation necessary for the compile
tion of the primary scheme is O.
572.522 cubic yards.
Supplemental work is anticipated
and is included within the plan
edopted as classes two and three
Under the secondary head a total of
2045 miles of open excavation is
proposed al cost of s139.295, and
an additional 1925 miles will come
under the tertiary head and IL con-
structed will cost an additional
yt4S,S63, according TO the estimates
submitted, making the cost to the
project land owners of the completed
Ggstem the sum of $S34.49l. Tor
this sum they will have received
11s.3 miles of drainage canals. The
average per mile cost thus figures
s7.054. and the per acre cost for
the project lands for the completed
system at s12.5S.
Deep drains have already been
constructed in three districts of the
Newlsnds project to the AMOUNT or
nearly twelve miles. These were Ip-
stalled during the year 1914 at a
cost of approximately $4,000 These
drains were cut 20 an average depth
of seven feet, which depth is still
deemed generally satisfactory and

Prospects Good for Honey Crop

Prospects were never more aus
picious in this valley at this period
of the year for bumper honey crop
of first quality, according to E. G..
Norton, leading bee man of the state.
The absence of frost is condition
of prime importance and il now
seems certain that the various bios
SONS popular with bees will enjoy
their fullest longevity as a result of
the favorable season. Churchill
county sent forward something like
120 tons of extracted honey to mar
2ket last year and will probably do
as well or better this year. OF this
amount Mr.. Norton marketed so
tons, the product here commanding
an average selling price for the
grower of 81 cents per pound, as
contrasted with around sevent cents
in former times. This high figure
resulted, 1t is said. from sugar re-
strictions and other high prices gem
orally and is probably more than
will be received again, although the
pre-war level of honey prices may
not be with us again.
There are about half dozen
apiaries of first rank In this valley,
the product of which last year intro
duced here about $4,000 in cash
from the outside.

to be benefited. is assured by the
visit of A. B. Gray, w. P. ,Harring-
ton, George Smith and William Max
we'll. who drove here last Saturday
for a short stay In the course OF
which they made plain the plans of
the Greater Carson club for more
general recognition of the Fallon-
Carson City route by cross country
automobile travel The Carson COM
mercial organization Is busy with the
task of making plain the saving In
miles which may be thus effected
and the further fact that numerous
points of great interest punctuate
the entire route, which takes the
traveller to Lake Tahoe aud into
California via Placerville.
The Carson visitors are certain
that the great Lahontan dam and
reservoir will eventually prove
points of interest that will attract
travel along the artificial lakes
shores and rather marveled at the
lack of local appreciation Of the pos
sibilities existing there.
The members of the Carson party
posted Lincoln highway signs be-
tween this place and Carson City and
are certain that the road will be es-
tablished as an optional route when
the Lincoln highway directors come
west next month. .
1t is pointed out that between
Carson City and Placerville are 26
resorts. all affording rest and attrac-
tions for automobile parties and
these are to unite shortly In holding

geologist of very prominent standing
in California, who has recently made
an exhaustive study OF this oil dis
trict as well as the L. s. govern

with expert drillers In California for
the putting down of | 6 inch well
on its property and is prepared

be given the support of the
entire state In pioneering this new
field, as Il will be wonderful as
set TO Nevada in the event of positive
