SATURDAY IS TO
BE''TAC DAY.

Permission has been given to rep
rcscntative of the Volunteers OF
of America to hold tag day in Yer
ington as has been done in Carson
City, Reno, etc.
The Volunteers of America is all or
ganization dedicated by Maud Balling-
ton Booth to spiritual work among
prisoners in the state penal institutions
and to relieving their ofttimes destitute
families "More than 10000 children
have been helped to future good
American citizenship through OUR or
ganization," said Mrs. Booth upon her
recent Pacific coast tour.
A local committee will represent the
Volunteers on this occasion: Mes
danes J. A. Dixon, Laura Frazier, r.
]. H i'll, c. H. Mastcrson, Mabel
Plummer and ]. L. Wilson.
Headquarters on Tag Day will be in
the Farm Bureau office. with Mrs.
Frazier in charge.
Invitations to sell the tags will be
sent to number of young people.
and as an incentive. as well as re-
ward for their efforts, Yerington mcr-
chants have generously offered some
very pretty and useful prizes for COM
petition.
The first, pair or roller skates
given by the West Hardware Co, will
go to the one securing the largest
amount for her tags. The second
is a Prcmo Camera from the Ycring-
ton Drug Co. The third prize will be
a Waterman fountain pen from the
Nevada Drug Company. The fourth.
a box of fine candy from the Oasis. y
For those who do not win prizes, but
who secure at least $3.50 for their tags,
Mr.. Damon, OF the Granada theatre,
will give pass for two movie tickets.
The work of this organization is
supported by voluntary contribution
and it is hoped every citizen will give
the small sum asked for the tag, a
quarter, dime or half dollar.

hanged. No means OF drainage was
provided as the irrigation system was
constructed Natural drainage chan
nels were damned up and otherwise
obstructed. The river channel has beer
raised and water has been continually
run upon the land, giving it no time
to drain out.
The changes proposed are that the
river bed be cleared Of distractions
and lowercd that the distribution sys-
tenn be improved; that drainage
courses be opened up and all waste
water conducted to them: and that no
water be applied to the land between
growing seasons, allowing this time for
the soil to drain and for the water
table to lower.
The layout OF the proposed scheme
OF Development can be seen i'll the en-
gincerjng office Of the District. The
plans and estimates arc preliminary
only, aud it is expected that many
changes and additions will be made
Suggestions and criticisms for the pur-
pose of helping in the Improvement
OF these plans will be gladly received
Considered solely in the nature OF an
Investment. there is no doubt that the
proposed project would be a success.
The expenditure of approximately
three and one half dollars per acre III
the $4,000 acres OF land would so
greatly improve the value that the
average advance III the value of the
land would be several times this ex-
penditurc. Much of the land now va
cant, without means to obtain water
and lands now being watcr-loggcd and
alkalied would be sold or rented
and placed under cultivation The
damage to lands now under cultivation
would be stopped and a positive, grad
ual Improvement would certainly re-
suit. And further permanent bene-
fit would be the development OF eff
cient organization for the proper man
agement OF future work. The COM
pletion of development OF this sort
together with the assurance of pro-
gressive policies for the future could
not fail to attract many bona-fide
homeseekers and to mark the begin
lining of new era for Mason Valley

THAT the citizens are morally

THAT it is essential that busi-

THAT a community cannot be

in addition to those that are being
maintained as diversions. The result
is that much OF the land along the
river. which used to be well drained,
is water logged and subject to over
flow and the river is cutting new chan
ncls and otherwise damaging the lands
along it. The filling up Of the chan
mel is also detrimental to lands lying
a considerable distance away from the
river, affecting the depth Of the drain
age outlets, overflowing and damaging
bitches and flooding crops.
An example Of the effect OF an OBJ
structed river channel is shown by the
condition of lands along the stretch of
river about three miles below the Me-
Lcod bridge. as compared with lands
along the river below the steel bridge
on the Miller ranch. Below tho steel
bridge, tic river channel has less fall
than the upper stretch. but is deep and
unobstructcd. and appears to be shout
in its natural condition. The lands
along this stretch are we'll drained and
open. The reason they are not better
cultivated is that they are rough and
would require considerable leveling.
The stretch OF river below tie Nc
Leod bridge has been filled up OH ac-
count OF the many old dams and the
lands along it are becoming badly
waterloggged, grown up with brush
and willows. and full OF sloughs and
mosquitoes.
According to the proposed plan of
development, the river channel would
be cleared of these distractions and
srraigltcned and eiecprircd iir some
places and brought back to its natural
condition. with certain improvements
in addition The consolidation of ca
nails would eliminate all diversions i'll
the Main Walker. except the open con-
crete weir. near the Miller ranch. and
the proposed open type weir. just be

Distributing System.

distributing oySteIH.
The work planned for the canal sys-
TEN would include the consolidation of
canals both on the Main Walker and
on East Walker as far up as the High
Lateral. From this point down, there
would be only three permanent diver
sions: one at the present High Lateral
diversion, one just below Mason and
the present diversion near the Miller
ranch The diversion on the East
Fork would serve all present East
Walker canals below it. At the Ma
son diversion, an east and west side
canal would take out and serve the
lands under all the present diversions
above the Miller ranch. also about 2+,
0OO acres additional. which is now
without ditch capacity
Under the existing distributing sys
TEN, assuming that the West Side Ca
nal, now being constructed, will sup
ply about 10000 acres of land, there
remain about 10000 acres more, lying
west of the river between Ycrington
and Wabuska, whicI, cannot be served,
owing to lack of ditch capacity. On
the East side of the river to the East
and North of Ycrngton, there are
about $4,000 acres without ditch ca
pacity. In order to get water to this
land under present conditions, it would
be necessary for the owners to acquire
rights i'll and enlarge old bitches, which
arc not properly located or to construct
long and expensive private bitches,
where rights of way would be very
difficult, if not impossible, to obtain.
This would mean that, in many cases,
the cost would be SO excessive that it
would be prohibitive, and after resort
ing to such means. the owner would
find himself involved in the same diff
ficultics, even more complicated. which
the present owners OF these old bitches
and diversions have to contend with II
is little wonder, that under present
conditions, this uncultivatcd land can
not be sold or rented to prospective
settlers who come to Mason Valley.
Drainage
The general slope OF the valley on
north and south line through Yer
ington is about eight feet per mile.

The river channel is obstructed by

PARIS. Dec. 2.-The successful be-
ginning OF the bread strike. or lock-
gut. Is indicated by the official fg-
ures that by 3 O'Clock this afternoon.
three hours after the movement be.
gan. only ISIS bakery shops were open
In Paris and 1852 were closed. Many
of the former Joined the strikers by
night. when long bread lines formed
In the vain hope that the shops would
be reopened. No untoward Inc idcnt
had occurred UP TO 10 o'clock to-
night. except that the windows OF one
bakery were broken by disa ppointed
customers: another bakery selling
bread at franc IS centimcs was
hooted and complaint laid for Illicit
raising of prices.
The baker employees union de-
cided some time ago TO assure n sup
ply OF bread IL there waS n strike.
The union met tonight and decided
to placard Paris to the effect that
1t was not collaborating with either
the employers or the government
but had summoned all bakers To be
ready to take possession of the ovens
so as to assure bread to the working
classes. the aged and the children.
