OF GREAT VALUE
SAYS STATE ENGINEER

The State Engineer calls attention
to the fact that the first unit of the
Walker River Irrigation District
reservoir is nearing completion. This
reservoir will ultimately store more
than eighty thousand acre feet Of wa
ter and will be OF incalcuIablc value i'll
promoting similar enterprises IN
other parts of the state This splen-
did enterprise has been initiated and
constructed by the ranchcrs owning
lands which are to be irrigated from
the Walker River stream system.
The Board of Directors. consisting OF
Messrs J. |. Wilson, president, Frank
Stickney. Jay II. Clcmons. +. M. Fui-
stone and S. l.. Netlerton. with Harry
Dukes as secretary and J. \. Beemer.
as Chief Engineer, have supervised,
financed and are successfully carrying
out the work i'll the face of the many
difficulties incident to Il new project.
Their painstaking and unflagging de-
votion to interests of their community
are worthy of special comment as An
example which will mean much for
the prosperity OF the state if emulated
in other districts.
The water rights on the Walker
River were adjudicated by court de-
cree dated March 18th. 1919, under the
terms OF which the State Engineer is
made water commissioner of the dis
trict. Following the polio = of making
the irrigation districts as nearly auton-
omous as possible. the State Engineer
will at an early date, join with the dis
trict authorities in requesting the
Court to name water commissioners
to distribute the Walker River waters.
which commissioner is to be noInin-
ated by the district. Under the law.
the water stored in the reservoirs is
proprly under the control of the dis
trct directors.
In order to eliminate all unneces-
sarv costs, the State Engineer believes
that the commissioner named by the
district directors should distribute both
the stored and stream flow waters.
otherwise there will be all unneces-
sary duplication OF work and cores
ponding burden OF expense laid on the
water users. This improved arrange
ment will probably be made effective
| in time for next years irrigation sea-
son and it is believed that the distri-
button costs can thereby be reduced to
an absolute minimum consistent with
good service.

YER|NCT0N BOYS
PLAY FAST GAME

Yerington high schools football
team exceeded expectations Saturday
in holding the strong Carson high
team to a fourteen to nothing score.
The game was bitterly contested
throughout. The local boys played a
strong defensive game and it was not
until the end of the second quarter
that Carson was able to score.
Carson's second score came in the
last quarter on forward pass from
Malley to Hunting, who ran fifteen
yards for touchdown. Yerington
never seriously threatened the Carson
goal line, but several times Mathews
got away for long runs which would
have resulted in score if given bet
ter interference.
A number of Carson rooters were
on hand and Governor Boyle and 9TH
ers from the state capital witnessed
the game. Tom Buckman, OF last
years University of Nevada team ref
creed the game. Thanksgiving Day
the local boys close their season in a
game against the Carson Indians and
are, on account OF their showing Sat
urday, hopeful of ending it with a
victory.
