DRAINAGE DEFERRED
FOR A YEAR

The Directors OF the Lyon County
Drainage District No have been
in attendance on the meeting of the
Board of Eralization to assist that
body i'll its review of the apportion-
ment of benefits to accrue from the
drainage project. The apportion-
nents have been determined after sew
eral weeks labor by the board and its
engineer, Geo. w. Malone
The drainage district was original
ly formed by the circulation OF a pet
ition addressed to the county commits
-sioners in accordance with the provis-
ions of the statutes OF this state provid
ing for the formation of such districts.
The petition received the signatures of
practically all of the farmers in the
territory affected and the commission
ers accordingly named the three drain
age supervisors, who have had sur
veys made and data prepared showing
the cost and the benefit of the project,
accounts of their work having been
published from time to time in the
Yerington Times.
1t now develops that the landowners
feel unable, owing to the unusual fl
nancial and market conditions, to go
ahead with the project, and second
petition has been presented to the Sup
ervisors of the district asking them to
postpone the calling of bond cleo
ton for period of one year.
The supervisors have taken no offic-
ial action as yet, but will undoubtedly
postpone any further proceedings until
some future date.

NEW COMPANY TO
BRING SETTLERS

The L. II. Whitacre Land and Title
Company was last week re-organizcd
and is now operating under the title
"Whitacrc Land, Title and Investment
Company. The officers are: Clark J..
Guild, President, T.. II. Whitacrc, NJ.
Il. Penrose, a. II. Birrell and +. w.
Chambers, directors.
The announced purpose of the new
organization is to promote and adj
vance the interests of the citizens and
taxpayers of Lyon county, and partic-
ularly to boost Mason and Smith val
leys. 1t is planned to put on an ad-
vertising campaign that will make the
people Of other states stand up and
take notice of Nevada and her pos
sibilities in an agricultural line, and
direct the attention of the people OF
eastern cities and states to the great
Mason and Smith valleys.
The crux of the tax situation, say
the officers of the company, is more
people. If we can influence, guide
and direct the foot steps of the emf
grant OF the East toward these val
leys. and induce them. after they have
seen the possibilities here to settle
amongst us, to cut up the larger acre
ages into smaller tracts. and to have
more people and more farms. we
will have solved the question of high
taxation In addition to that there will
&c better schools. better churches. bet
ter community centers. better high
ways. and all this at less expense.
This company is now engaged il
taking a moving picture and panor-
annie scenes OF Mason and Smith val
leys. and when this moving picture is
completed it will be taken to eastern
states and displayed to advertise the
possibilities and the opportunities here
for the homeseeker.
The new company has taken over
the subscriptions recently raised by
the Great West Land Company, for
the purpose of prosecuting an advertis-
ing campaign. This action was taken
after the officers, who were also in
tcrcsted in the Great West Land Com
Dany. had become convinced that the
latter organization had become top
heavy and was unable. according to
Mr.. Guild. to carry out successfully
its program as announced at the time
when the subscriptions were raised.
At a meeting of the stockholders
held at the court hoise Monday night
future program and plans of the COM
pany were outlined and committee,
consisting cf Andy West and DR..
Masterson was named to raise further
subscriptions for the advertising CAM
paign.
Addresses were made by l.. H..
Cook, Frank Stickney and others who
promised to support the proposition
financially and morally. Mr.. Cook
stated that the discontinuance by the
Southern Pacific Company of its dis
criminatory freight rates would be the
greatest step toward the development
of this section.
A. II. Birrell and Fred w. Cham
bers leave for Utah and Idaho points
during the latter part OF this week.
where they will endeavor to interest
new settlers in land in this county.
The company now has $4,000 acres OF
good agricultural land available for
settlers.

WATER GETTING LOW
IN WALKER RIVER

For the first time during the present
season the farmers Of the Walker river
are beginning to suffer from the an

ports received Tuesday from Water
Supervisor Geo. w. Malone.
All water users with priorities dat
ing later than 1869 are now without
water. and the shortage is being felt
by the potato growers. However, no
serious losses are anticipated as the
spud> men are able to secure sufficient
water from the older decreed rights
to save their crops.
