OFFICERS CONTINUE
RENO BOOZE RAIDS

When Mike Curti. bartender at the
Colombo hotel In Reno, deserted his
post behind the mahogany to witness
"a fist fight ON the sidewalk he
left the bottle unguarded. Prohibi-
tion officers in the vicinity were quick
to take advantage of the opportunity
and entered the place, seizing the bot
tie and placing Curti under arrest.
During the raid, the officers made
and inspection of the place and found
hole cut in the floor. apparently
for the purpose of "ditching" the ev-
idence in an emergency. In the base
ment under the hole were several
large rocks evidently placed there
for the purpose of breaking the bot
ties in their descent through the hole.
The officers padded the surface of
the rocks with gunny sacks and do
parted with their prisoner.
Curious to know just how the
gunny sacks would function in the
emergency t1ey returned to the place
later In the evening. The bartender
kicked the evidence through the hole,
as was expected. and when the bot
ties struck the padded rocks one of
them failed to break. Tom Dwyer,
the bartender. was arrested. 1t was
the second raid on this particular
bar in day.
Prohibition officers also raided the
Alturas at Second and Lake streets.
The officers say the evidence was dis
posed of similarly there. but they
took samples and have turned them
over to the laboratory for analysis.
No arrests were made at the Alturas.

TIME IN IS YEARS

Seeing his brother dead in this city
after a separation of fifteen years was
the experience of Alfred ]. Rogers of
Lone Elm, Kansas, who arrived here
this morning to take charge of the re.
mains. News of his brothers death
was also the first word he lad re-.
ceived OF him during a period of four
years.
The dead brother was Harry NJ.
Rogers. who was found lead IN n
Southern Pacific train last Tuesday
with bullet wound through mis- heaG
and small calibre pistol beside him.
Mr.. Rogers said this morning that
he had not seen his brother for fifteen
years and that he had not heard from
him for four years. He said .ie did not
know of any reason why mis- brother
should have taken his own life
Funeral arrangements have not baaI
made except that Mr.. Rogers will take
the body back to Kansas for burial
Testimony at the inquest here has
led to belief that the man was men
tally deranged.

JOINT SURVEY FOR
0WYHfE TO START

Work OF determining definitely the
feasibility of the Owyhee irrigation

kilograms were received In this
city yesterday informing that Harry
Conkiin. representative of the gov
ernment reclamation service, and C.
d. Taylor of thestate engineers office,
would arrive here next Tuesday and
would Immediately outfit to make the
preliminary survey of the project. 1t
Is estimated that the wor xviii re-
quire six weeks.
Taylor was one of the men who
made the first reconnaissance of the
property, and his report expressed
belief that approximately 10000 acres
could be reclaimed on the east side of
Paradise Valley, by utilizing the
waters OF the Owyhee river This
reconnaissance, however. was not
considered an accurate survey of the
possibilities, and 1t Is this work that
Is to be taken up now.
Request was made at the time the
first report was made that the recla-
nation service include the project In
the Malheur toregon) project, and 1t
seems probable 1t is with this view
that the government representative is
to make joint survey with the state
engineers force.
Money for the survey was pro-
yided by the last session of the leg
islature, Mayor Brandon of this city
being one of the commissioners ap-
pointed to investigate the proposal.
Should the project become areality it
would result in great benefit to this
part OF the state. as well as all
ranches west of this city along the
Humboldt river. because of increased
water supply.

SYNDICATE WELL IS
PAST 12O0-FT. MARK

While the past week has been de-
void of sensational feature in the
Fallon oil fields. probably more ef-
fective work has been accomplished
than in any like period for several
weeks. says the Fallon Standard. In
deed, the hectic days of exploitation
and wild rumor seem to have given
way entirely to hard work and
grim determination to make hole" in
every working property in the field.
The Fallon-Union still holds the
stellar role among the companies
where things are happening, and
there is good natured wish generally
expressed that to this company may
fall the honor, and the emoluments.

attempt was made to shoot the hole
with the dual purpose in view of pos
sibly opening up the crevice through
which the seepage came, and bring
ing in an appreciable flow of oil and
at the same time throw the lost bit
to one side to enable drilling to re-
sumo. Just as the torpedo had almost
reached the bottom the boiler blew
up and all work had to be temporar-
lily suspended until another could be
brought over from Mason. This is
now being installed and the outcome

The hole is down 1887 feet, and on
Tuesday the concrete in the casing
had been drilled out leaving about
forty feet still in the well. Work
has progressed far enough to dem
onstrate that the water has been eff
fectually shut off. Reports have
gained currency that it is the pur-
pose of the management to shoot
the hole in an attempt to bring in a
flow of oil. This, however, is denied
and President Benadum is authority
for the statement that future opera
tions will be governed entirely by the
conditions found to exist when the
well is dried out.
