LAKE TAHOE RIM
IS NOT TO
Be GUT

Secretary Payne has ruled that the
natural rim OF Lake Tahoe will not be
cut as urged by the federal reclama-
tion service to provide water for an
irrigation project in Nevada, accord
ing to a telegram received here today
from representative John e. Raker.
The secretary ruled further that
court proceedings would be taken to
determine the rights. If any of the
federal government In and to the out
let of Lake Tahoe. the measure stated.
The hearing on the reclamation ser
vices proposal to cut the rim of Lake
Tahoe In order that more water might
be made available for use on irriga-
tion projects In Nevada was held at
Washington last summer before
Franklin X. Lane. then secretary of
the interior.
Parties owning land along the shore
OF Lake Tahoe. particularly the Hob
art and Bliss interests, who were rep
resented by VIII Bliss. attended the
hearing and opposed the proposition.
They set up the claim that to cut the
rim of the lake and lower the lake
would ruin the resorts. They also
charged that there was conspiracy
between the reclamation service and
power company interests to tap the
lake 100 feet below the surface by n
tunnel In the Rubicon.
II was the reclamation departments
plan to dredge at the outlet of the lake
to sufficient depth to permit the re-
lease of such water as might be need
ed In case of an unusually dry season
At the time the proposal was made to
cut the rim. the reclamation service
estimated that It had 10000 inches
OF water stored In the lake that could
not be released because the channel
would not carry IT, At no time did
the reclamation service propose TO
draw the lake below the 622I-foot
level.
Stone and Webster and the Truckee
River General Electric Company have
rights to water In Lake Tahoe that
antedate those OF the reclamation ser

MORE SNOW
IN SIERRAS

The best piece of news that the
Record-Courier is able to give its read
ers this week. especially to the farm
ers Of Carson Valley. who have more
or less apprehension relative to the
water supply for the coming summer
is that there is more snow In the
watersheds of the Carson river than
at the same period last season. VIM
Coyan. In charge Of the Blue Lakes
reservoir. and who has kept accurate
records of the snow fall In that sec
tion for the past several years, re-
ported Sunday that there was 100
inches of hard packed snow at the
Blue Lakes summit an amount con-
siderable in excess of the record OF
last year The snow last season did
not pack down as it has this year and
as a consequence the first warm
weather the snow disappeared very
rapidly.
MIR. Coyan's report should be most
encouraging to the farmers OF Carson
Valley, who feared shortage of water
event to greater extent than was
experienced last season. 1t is not
likely that crops in Carson Valley will
suffer this season for lack of water
and the summer promises to be one
above the average for crop production

Measuring Our Universe,

Astronomers are inclined TO believe
that our universe with its 100000
stars is after all but a part of space
and that other univerSes may lie be-
yOnd. Attempts have been made to
measure the size of the sO-called uni
verse, but opinions differ very widely
as to its dimensions. 1t is difficult 10
measure it by using SO small a unit
Of measure as mile. If we take the
speed of light which travels $4,000
miles in a single second, for compari-
son we will begin TO gain some faint
idea of the dimensions. Light speed
ing along at this rate will travel in an
hour $50 ,660.O 600 miles. 1t is estimated
that II would take light 10000 years
70 travel across this space. Some as
tronomers even believe that ii would
take ten times as long or 100000 light
years. The mind can scarcely grasp
the idea that beyond this universe lie
even greater vOids.-Boy's Life.
