Holds all the growth of all our land.
A nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.

All Previous Water Storage Records
Have Been Eclipsed at Lahontan
Reservoir

A new high water mark was es-
tablished at Lahontan reservoir yes
terday when the 4160 elevation,
just two feet below the spillways
was reached by the impounded
flood. The previous high mark was
recorded on June s, 1919. when
the 4159.5 elevation was reached
and 252, 900 acre feet of storage was
on hand. The new mark means
that 257 900 acre feet of water is on
hand with every prospect that the
level of the artificial lake will
reach the spillways during the pres
ent month. The high mark for last
year was attained on April 18th,
when the elevation of 4155.S was
reached, or AZ feet less than the
mark of yesterday. The storage at
this mark approximated 216,000
acre feet.
Reclamation officials who watch
the photographic figures connected
with the operation of the Newlands
project, are elated over the unex-
pected turn events have taken and
now forecast a season when there
will be an amplitude of water for
irrigation and power purposes.
Earlier figures compiled from snow
fall records were more or less mis-
leading, owing to the fact that the
water content of the snow has been
unusually heavy and the watershed
runoff rapid.

Bandits May
be Tried Here
Bandits Who Shot Sheriff Jim Smith
Are Believed TO be In
Custody In Idaho

Sheriff Jim Smith is In receipt of
a telegram from Constable Herbert
Hoover at Caldwell, Ida, stating
that he has positively identified the
two men held in the county Jail
there for the theft of an automobile
at Winnemucca one day last week
and that Sheriff Brady and he will
bring the prisoners back to this
county TO face trial for their law in
fractions just as soon as extradi-
tion papers can be signed by the
governor of Idaho and the trip
made home by automobile. II Is
thought that the officers and their
prisoners will be back in this city
this evening or tomorrow when
formal complaints will be lodged
against the two charging them with
burglary and with the attempted
murder of Sheriff Smith.
The apprehension of the two men
was made by officials in Caldwell
who acted in response to messages
from the Humboldt county officers
who traced them directly to the Ida
no town after their theft of an
Essex car in Winnemucca. The fact
that Hoover identified the pair of
outlaws confirms the belief that fol-
