Two Thousand Acres To Be Added
to Projects Settled

Project Manager John, F. Rich
ardson and his assistants are busy
at this time in plating new lands

that more than 1000 acres of desir-
able lands will be opened to settle
ment during the month. all within
the territory adjacent to Fallon and
served with water from the Lahon-
tan reservoir.
The price of water rights for the
new lands has not been definitely
fixed as yet, but will probably be in
the neighborhood of $4,000 per acre.
Additional lands may be plated
to be opened some time in March.
1t being the plan OF the reclamation
authorities to keep land settlement
active here so long as soil potential
tiles exist with water to make their
development possible. Homebuild-
ing is a process that will be under
way here for many years to come
and no one, properly imbued with
incentive and ability to do, need
have the slightest misgiving as to
this, undertaking so long as the op-
portunity exists.

Max Marcin, author of Eyes of
Youth" the remarkable drama in
which Marjorie Rambeau has been
starring, pays a high compliment to
Clara Kimball Young.
Miss Young, at present in San
Francisco, portrays the Rambeau
role in the protoplay version that
came TO the Imperial screen yester-
day, and she has telegram from
Marcin expressing appreciation that
her art enhances a play that might
so easily have been spoiled in being
transferred to the screen"
And Marcin in this telegram has
stated the most important feature OF
the Eyes of Youth" criticism. Miss
Young again proves herself one of
the greatest screen actresses.
Through the several scenes acted out
from crystal visionings, she is at all
times thorough artist, while the
unusual opportunities to display
versatility are fully utilized in the
widely varying characters of the
conscientious school teacher, the
temperamental prima donna, the
millionaire's wife, tricked into the
roadhouse and later brought into
the divorce court, and the broken

Sierra Snowfall
Is Now Tardy
Snowfall in the Sierras Is Still
Down to a Minimum Yet We
May Have Enough

Those who have been keeping tab
on the snowfall at Summit on the
crest of the high Sierras are more or
less discounted by the reports OF
the scant snowfall that has visited
the watershed that supplies this pro-
ject with its annual irrigation sup
ply. There is at this time but IL

quent but localized and the heavy
precipitation on the west slope of
the Sierras seem to have been for
the most part of restricted area. On
December 1st of last year "a inches
of snow was measured at Summit
though the remainder of the season
was characterized by light storms
with the result that the season of
1920 was more or less beset here
by scant water facilities. On the
1st of October of this year the snow
attained a depth of 28 inches, the
maximum SO far this season. On
December 5th. 1919, the snow depth
at Summit was SO inches. In this
connection IL is pointed out that oa
January 10th, 1911, the season
when all records for heavy precipi-
tation was broken at Summit the
ground was bare of snow covering,
and that on the following March
10th 325 inches of snow was meas
ured from which the Truckee and
Carson watersheds had their record

There is at this time little more
than 100000 acre feet of water
within the Lahontan reservoir. serv-
ing the Fallon unit of the Newlands
project. the supply there having
been increased during the last
month by $1,000 acre feet secured
from the Carson and Truckee rivers.
| The Fallon unit lands actually use
on an average at this stage of pro-
ject development about 125,000 acre
feet of water each year, so there is
no doubt whatever relative to the
adequacy of the water situation in
sofar as it affects the lands of this
unit. But there is grave doubt
whether or not the high lands
served by the Truckee river will be
properly served noxt season, this
happy condition being entirely de-
pendant upon storms that are yet to
come However, everyone hopes
for a repetition of the condi-
tions of 1911 when our irrigation
supply was plethoric to the last
degree.

Five-Foot Lake
Control Plan
Plan to Adjudicate Lake Tahoe
Rights to be Acted On
Next Monday

| 1t has been given out that the
reclamation authorities of the fed.
eral government, working in con-
juction with representatives of the
state and private interests, may be
able to effect desirable settlement
of the Lake Tahoe matter. When
the board of directors of the Truck
ee-Carson irrigation district meets
next Monday sanction will be asked
from this head for a plan to COM
promise with California and Truck
ee river power interests on a basis
that was available in 1911 but was
later confounded by Attorney John
F. Truesdale, representing the legal
department of the government hav-
ing the Tahoe adjudication matter in
hand. This compromise would give
to the Truckee river power compan-
les aud to the Newlands PROJECT a
control of Lake Tahoe's surfaces that
spells a five-foot seasonal variation
of the lake surface, which Cali
fornians agree shall be between the
elevations of 6224.8 and 6229.8
feet with a further proviso that the
outlet channel shall be dredged
down to elevation 6223 and of a
width of $50 feet.
A condition that is earnestly de-
sired by those representing the wa
ter users of this project is the abso-
lutte control of one-half of the five
foot variation which would mean
water availability for this project to
the amount OF 100000 acre feet or
three times the amount actually
deemed adequate for project uses.
This control. however, is desirable,
owing to the fiucuation of the Ia
hoe watershed runoff which aver
ages $4,000 acre feet each year
With one-half of the control invest
ed in this project and the other In
the power companies possessed Of
the problems arising from the Lake
Tahoe matter would be solved as
severate those who are working on
the matter. The Truesdale decree
issued out of the federal court in
San Francisco at the specific in
stance of Truesdale accords the
power companies far wider latitude
and by the same token restricts this
project to the minimum, this court
order directing that the power COM
panies shall have invested in them
in perpetuity a control of Lake Ia
hoes surface to the amount of
four feet.
Governor Emmet d. Boyle and
State Engineer C. G. Scrugham have
been assisting the federal authori-
ties, all working to the end that the
Tahoe matter shall be settled def
nitely once and for all and this COM
promise plan has been evolved and
placed directly up to the board of
directors of the Truckee- Carson ir-
rigation district for their recon-
mendation. II is believed that this
sanction may be given at the meet
ing next Monday and that data will
then be forwarded to the depart
ment at Washington for final dispo-
sition.

Vote Again
On Bond Issue
School Election VIII Be Held On
December 18th to Affirm Build
ing Enterprise

The voters of Fallon Consolidated
Saturday, the 18th of this month to
re-affirm the bond issue and school
building project previously sane
toned but lacking legality through
an error in the proceedings. 1t is
proposed to issue $4,000 in bonds,
which under an earlier arrange
ment with contractors will probably
60 direct to the successful bidder on
the proposed additions to the Oats
Park school plant, in the place OF
cash, should bona fide bond buyers
fail to materialize.
Prof. Beatty, superintendent of
the Fallon elementary schools, and
the members of the school board
say that the present school housing
facilities of this district are hope
lessly inadequate to meet existing
demands to say nothing of those in
prospect and that ready and COM
plete sanction of the enterprise now
afoot is the only logical solution of
the difficulty. Over at the Oats
Park school, the largest of the three
units in this city, the rest room and
basement are now in use as student
rooms and there is no part of the
building, not even the Railways, that
Is exempt from student activities.
The congestion extends to every one
of the three schools and in the
meantime the student body is grow
ing daily.
The plans now entertained by the
school board will provide the dis
trict with four additional class
rooms and without a doubt will care
for the growth of the district for
some time to come. Just how long
will undoubtedly be determined
largely by the federal government s
land settlement policy which has a
direct bearing on the local school
situation.

School Boards
Are to Confer
Two fallon School Boards to Get
Together and Plan For Our
Mid-Year Graduates

1t now seems altogether likely
that the 2S mid-year graduates
from the Fallon grammar schools
VIII find the. doors of the county
high school open to them at the
commencement of the second semes-
ter and that means will be found 20
provide the needed additional in
structor to take charge of and
guide the destinies of these ambiti-
Gus youngsters who through one
reason or another find themselves
members of a December graduating
class. Deputy State Superintendent
OF Public Instruction Ghauncey W
Smith has been called upon TO act
as the intermediary between the
two boards in arriving at conclu-
sion that Is fair and logical to ev-
eryone concerned
1t is generally realized that IT
would be manifestly unfair to fail
TO care for the educational needs
and ambitions OF the % graduates
from the Fallon elementary schools
and by the same token it would be a
step backward to annul the A and
class system SO distinctly an i'm
provement over the old time method
by which sluggards and bright
minded pupils were grouped togeth-
er or penalized a full year in grade
as the case happened to be. There
are still other elements that enter
into the situation arguing for the
present distinction In classes, in
Guiding absences through sickness
and other unavoidable causes. Mr..
Smith emphasizes the fact that ev-
cry other town of Fallon's size in
this state has adopted the A and b
class method of grouping students
in elementary schools and In these
eontemporaneous towns high schools
have been adapted to meet the stu
alton
The new method went into effect
in the local elementary schools sew
eral years ago under school auspices
time and this mid-year graduating
class is the first To come from the
new rule. All grade classes are
now adapted to the divisional plan
and partisans maintain that a grave
injustice would operate against ev-
cry student in consolidated district

PEELED, from the little first grader to
the adoleseent of the eighth grade
who is about to step into the high
school in anticipation of university
or collegiate training.
