Contractors Examine
Walker Lake Road

]. w. Wilson, of Yerington, w. H.
Gibson of Minden, Walter Norris. OF
Luning, and f. L. Phelps, of Reno
and several others were in town on
Monday. They went over the propos-
ed route of the Walker Lake high
way and will put in bids to do lC
miles of the work through the big
bluff near Cottonwood Creek. Bids
will be acted on at Carson by the
Highwa ycommission next Monday.
The prospective bidders declare that
the work will cost more money than
has been appropriated. They say a
boat of 10 ton capacity will be neces-
sary to carry 900 tons of cement and
other material to be used in the con-
struction work.

Canada's Bird Refuge.

It is something for one bird to tell
another that Canada has created a
series of reserves in the province of
Quebec where birds are safe from man
made troubles.
Unlike most bird refugees, Perez
Rock, picturesque island near Perez
village; the east and north cliffs of
Bonaventure island, three miles further
away; and the northernmost of the
Magdalen islands, 124 miles out to sea,
have been set apart specifically to pro-
tect birds whose value to mankind is
chiefly their beauty as a part of ma
ture
There is no attempt to argue, for
example, that the gannet, the kitti-
wake, or the razorbill aux should be
protected because they help the
farmer; they are protected simply be-
cause they are birds.
No human being may steal an egg
from their nests; no weapon danger
Gus to their welfare may be brought
within a mile of their island sanctu-
aries.
Naturally all other birds are equally
safe, and the refugees will be help
toward carrying out the purpose of
the international treaty for bird pro-
lection.

Carson River Irrigation

The proposed irrigation enlargement
in upper Carson valley by the owners
of land and private capital, have pui
a number of the state engineers force
to work making up data ON flow, sur
veys and general statistics of the head
of the Carson river.
The withdrawal of the federal claims
to the storage sites has made it pos
sible for local financiers to take up
one of the largest projects in Nevada
During the past ten years the farm
ers Of upper Carson valley have con.
structed a number of impounding res
ervoirs which supply water during the
late season, and as a result they have
been able to cut third crop of hay
where other districts have failed
The new project, it is Claimed will
bring under irrigation some 10000
acres OF new land on the benches, and
there is possibility of some OF this
water finding its way to this valley
as suggested by State Engineer Scrug-
ham in his talk to the citizens several
weeks ago.
