POSTPONED TO LATER DATE

The concert which was to have been
given by the Winnemucca Community
Choral Club on May 31st for the bene-
fit of the library and the Near East
Relief, has been postponed to later
date, of which due announcement will
be made. The program which will be
presented at that time will probably
be more elaborate than was originally
planned. The musical director, Rev
Edward Hoering, states that the men,
bers have done splendid work at re.
hearsals, and that there Is q consid-
cradle amount of musical talent in
the town which only needs develop
ing. At the last rehearsal Mr.. Hoer-
ing congratulated the officers on their
very efficient work. and prophesied a
prosperous career for the organiza-
ton.

RAB|D COYOTE IN
SIXTH St. KILLED

A rabid coyote was killed in d. J.
Loinaz yard in West Sixth street yes
terday afternoon shortly after one
O'Clock. The animal. which was stag
gering at the time, was evidently in
the last stages of the disease, and had
wandered into town not knowing
where 1t was going.
Fortunately there we're no children
playing in the yard at that time.
though it is said that the animal
snapped at some children before en-
tering the yard.
Elmer Cathcart of Paradise Valley,
who was near the scene, procured a
gun at the Weikel residence and
killed the animal. The body was
burned. as 1t was not thought neces-
sary to send the head away, the symp-
toms of the disease being plainly
evident.

SWIMMING POOL
BOOSTED BY PARTY

! An unusually large crowd attended
the card party given at Parish hall
last night. Twenty tables of whist
were played and several reports of a
mighty good time have been handed
in today. First prizes were awarded
to Mrs. w. p. Stephenson and Frank
German; second prizes to Miss Bowie
and E. M. Bosch; third prizes to Mrs.
Carl Stolfelt and Father Meisekothen.
The proceeds from this party are
to be used toward furthering con-
struction of the new swimming pool
which is being built under direction
of Rev. Edward Hoering, who Is also
the instigator. Work is being pushed
with all possible speed. The plumb
ing is all in and building is being
moved onto the site and is to be used
as superintendent Office. 1t was
hoped that this pool would be ready
by the first of June, but owing to a
shortage of special material and the
fact that Rev. Hoering has been out
of town so much, the work has been
delayed. But actual pouring of con-
crete will begin within day or SO,
and II all goes we'll the pool will be
ready for use during the first week in
June.
The tank is to be an unusually
large one. In fact larger than the
standard ones In Y.MC.A. buildings
Several bathing suits are being sent
for and will be rented to those hav-
ing none OF their own. Dressing
rooms will be provided and there will
also be showers.
Besides the swimming pool, ten
mis- court is under construction-also
a croquet court and band stand. As
soon as this project is completed, the
corner, which includes the church and
parish, will be one of the beauty spots
in this city, and one of the most en-
joyed by citizens as whole. Rev
Hoering deserves much credit for his
undertaking.

0WYHEE IRRIGATION
PROJECT FEASIBLE

Probably the biggest piece of news
which has developed In Winnemucca
for long time was the announcement
yesterday that the report of the pre-
liminary survey of the owyhee irriga-
tion project states that the plan is
entirely feasible. The report was >ub-
mitted to the state engineer by l.. H.
Taylor, Melvin E. Jepson and c. v.
Taylor, investigating engineers. 1t
was forwarded to Mayor T. A. Bran
don. a member of the owyhee Irriga-
tion Commission yesterday morning
and by him turned over to the Hum
boldt County Chamber of Commerce.
Probably the most important phases
of the report are that 10000 acres of
land on the east side of Paradise Val
ley can be reclaimed at a cost of
approximately 100000 or $50 per
acre. It is estimated that forty acres
of such land will provide an income
OF $4,000 a year. according to County
Agent Wilson, which would mean that
one thousand families could be pro-
vided for. II Is the plan to have the
government reclaim the land and give
1t to ex-service men.
Suggestions contained in the pre-
liminary report are that a reservoir
of about 10000 acre-feet capacity
shall be erected on the Spanish ranch.
where the river leaves Independence
valley; a canal with a total length of
about sixty miles from the reservoir
to Dry creek, flowing into Dry creek
and the Little Humboldt, and thence
down that stream to natural reser-
voir site. 1t Is believed that the food
waters of the North and South Forks
OF the Little Humboldt, which now go
to waste, will add 25.o00 to 10000 acre
feet.
The lands to be irrigated lie along
the east side of Paradise Valley and
comprise an area greater than can
be served by the water supply. Hence
the best land. and that on which
water duty. due to soil character and
nearness to surface Of ground water,
will be highest. can be selected.
"It rs thought that about 10000
acres of these lands can be reclaimed
and II this is correct we believe the
project is without doubt feasible"
BY means OF the Spanish ranch res
ervoir 1t Is believed possible to so
regulate the flow in the diversion
canal that at no time will its dis
charge into Dry Creek be less than 75
second-feet, and it is thought possible
by extending the canal ONE ten or
twelve miles westward along that
creek, to obtain head OF fully SOC
feet. This will enable the generation
of not less than 5000 electric horse-
power. This power privilege. t is
believed. would readily sell for at
least $150.o00. Certainly" say 'Se
engineers, I'VE believe the project
jus.ifies more detailed investigation
