GOVERNOR |NSPECTS
TOPAZ RESERVOIR

Governor Boyle and State Engineer
Scrugham, as members of the State
Commission, made an official inspec-
ton of the work on the first unit
OF the Irrigation project last Friday,
and have given the same their unquali-
fled approval. They were met at the
tunnel by a number of the officials Of
the district and a few representative
men of the community. who conduct
cd them over the work. Among those
in attendance were J. |. Wilson. ]. A.
Bcemer, H. c. Dukes, Thos Buck
man c. c. Tidd, J. c. Snyder Chas.
Day, Will Reading, VIM. LaRuc. In
commenting on the job the Governor
said:
This is undoubtedly the best piece
of work for the money expended of
any SO far undertaken in Nevada The
tunnel-2,100 feet long-is as fne a
piece OF engineering as has ever been
finished in the west. The entire
length is reinforced with steel and con-
crete and the plans for control seem
to be more than adequate. The tun-
mel is approximately 9 by II, finished
to the last degree and should be as
near everlasting as material and work
manship can make t.
THE canal work is progressing rap
idly and from its size it will distribute
water to those within it's jurisdictions
The project has the natural advan-
tage of an impounded lake. which is
fed from the West Walker river. but
the engineering features are excellent.
1T is estimated that at least 5000
acres of new land will be brought un-
der cultivation by this project and i'll
the dry seanson Of the year the inn
pounded water will take care of the
old water rights with an abundance
OF water
"As member of the irrigation dis
trict bond commission, | can say that
the work at Topaz lake certainly
comes up to all expectations.

BEET SUGAR MEN
VISIT MASON VALLEY

A. w Black, OF Bay City Michigan
vice president Of the L.ahonton Valley
Sugar Company spent several days in
Mason Valley this week looking over
the sugar beet situation, relative to
prospects for beet acreage next year
He stated that the past season was a
successful one for the growers in this
section and expects to have larger
number put i'll this crop next season.
MIR. Black said that he is entirely
satisfied with the progress and devel-
opment made the past year i'll the indus
try. He believes that two important
things are now definitely established
first, that the state of Nevada does
produce the finest quality of sugar
beets. not excelled by any place in
the country. and. secondly. that the
operation OF the factory at Fallon this
year, demonstrates beyond question
that very high grade sugar can be
and is being made at the plant. With
these facts established, the future sue
cess of the industry is assured, be-
cause the remaining work done con-
sists OF development only.
Th sugar beet industry, he says,
will prove to be one of the best as
sets OF the state and should result in
increasing profits to the beet growers
as fast as they are better acquainted
with the methods and plans necessary
to produce large crops and good beets.
Michigan went through the trials
OF pioneers in creatin the sugar beet
industry there--the same trials that
confront the people of Nevada today
But as result of this Michigan con-
siders the sugar beet as the most val
liable product OF the farm. consider
ing returns to the grower.

REGISTERED BULLS
FOR RANGE HERDS

Twenty-nine registered Shorthorn
bulls, recently purchased by Ed. Full
stone from the Warm Greek Land and
Cattle Company Of Elko. for the Walk
.r River Rangers Association arrived
at the Minden stockyards Sunday. and
Monday members of the association
| met at Mindcn to take delivery of the
herd sircs.
| In order to make a just distribu
| ton Of the animals. drawing was
held Monday afternoon at the forest
office under the supervision OF Sill
pervisor Maulc A disintcrestcd party
drew numbers from a hat that cores
ponded with numbers previously
placed on the bulls and after the
drawing. the twenty or more men went
to the stockyards and seeccd their
animals by number There was no
possible chance for disappointment
because the sircS were exceptionally
fine animals. the only difference being
in age.
The purchase of the registered Sircs
by the Walker River Rangers Asso-
citation is big step forward in de-
sire to better the beef animals of An
telope. Smith. and Carson Valley farm
ers that range their stock in the Mono
National Forest The plan was sug-
gested some months ago and in Oc-
tober the stockmen met at Minden to
discuss the advisaoility of such
step. At that time there was some
little difference of opinion as to the
breed to be adopted and by a major
ity vote the Shorthorn Durhams were
selected Ed. Fulstone was delegated
TO make the purchase of the animals.
and found what he wanted in Elko
county. Soon after the deal was
closed wire was received by Mr..
Fulstone offering him $l4OO for his
bargain. He notified the stockmen of
the association of the offer and it was
quickly decided that if the bulls were
worth that much to others. they were
of equal value to the Walker River
Association and the offer was refused
The stockmens' association has been
commended by Paul G.. Reddington,
district forester. for it's action in pro-
viding registered sires for range stock
and no doubt other associations that
use the national forests will follow
the example set by the Walker River
rangers
Among those present at the meeting
held i'll Minden Monday were; James
Powell, II. a. Pitts. Arthur Pitts.

Fire DestroysF Fox
and Hub Buildings
YeringtOn Business District is MenaCed by
Flames; City is Saved by Efficient
Fire Department

4einrtong today experienced the
most extensive conflagration that has
occurred here in many years when the
remains of the Hub saloon building
and the old Fox building, both pre-
viously damaged by fire, were COM
pletely destroyed. The alarm was
turned in by w. Fl. Churchyard, OF
the Lyon County bank and George
Anderson, of the Eagle saloon almost
simultaneously, and although the fire
department responded Immediately,
and had two lines of hose the flames
within very few minutes, it was with
great difficulty and desperate work
that the fire was prevented from
spreading to other buildings. AS it
was the north wall and roof of the
Eagle building were burned and the
south wall of the Nevada garage was
badly scorched, in spite of two lines
of hose that were playing upon it al
most constantly.
The fire started in the rear of the
Hub building where John Maloni was
burning trash. but Maloni declares
that the blaze originated inside of the
building, and not from his trash fire.
When the alarm was sounded the
whole building was burning. Chief
Kelly directed his first line OF hose on
the south side OF the fire and soon had
the flames under control as far as the
danger of spreading to buildings adj
joining that side was concerned.
Stringing of the second line OF hose
was delayed on account OF shortage
OF hose on the fire truck, and by the
time discarded section OF hose was
brought from the station near th, Ma
son Valley Implement Company store,
the fire. had spread to the Fox build
ing The efforts OF the firencn were
then directed toward preventing the
spread of the flames. to the Nevada
garage and the Eagle building and for
their success in accomplishing this, the
department is deserving of great
credit The heat from the burning
Fox building was particularly intense,
and imperiled, not only the Nevada
garage. but the buildings across the
street. Kelly improvised protection
of wet blankets for his hoscnen. who
were thus enabled to withstand the
heat and keep stream of water on
the garage, the contents OF which had
been removed.
The work of the firemcn was as
perfect as could be expected from a
regularly trained and organized de-
partment There was no confusion
or contradiction OF orders Chief
Kelly'S instructions were obcyed with
promptness all the time and there are
SO many who deserve credit that it is
impossible to mention any III particu-
lar, but the work of the high school
boys was particularly commended by
the chief
No insurance was carried on either
of the burned buildings. The Eagle
saloon, which was somewhat damaged,
is insured for $1,000 and the CONNER
cial which was thought by many to
be doomed before Kelly got in his
good work, is insured for 5000.
