To RESUME WATER
RIGHT HEARINGS
Representative of State Engineer's
Office Scheduled to Be Here
On Monday to Resume
Humboldt Hsarines

Many farmers will be In this city
commencing with Monday morning
to submit their final statements re-
lating to their water rights predi-
Gated on the Humboldt river flow.
It is believed that the hearings will
necessarily be continued over sew
eral days and Ira Mcfarland, a rep
resentative Of the state engineers
Office will be in charge Of the taking
Of testimony.
Statements will be submitted un-
der oath and will concern all Of the
facts in each individual case. Each
farmer win be supposed to make
oath As to his acreage irrigated in a
beneficial manner, the number Of
years water has been applied and
its source, and whatever additional
facts may be needed to fully estab-
hsh his right to the unhampered
use Of his water supply.
It Is asserted that the hearings in
prospect will be the last to be held
in advance Of the making up Of
findings relative to the entire Hum
boldt river adjudication. These
findings. It Is believed, will result in
q definite establishment of the
rights to water Of the Humboldt
river. in all Of the four districts
into which the valley Of the Hum
boldt is divided for adjudication
purposes. Winnemucca district is
known as No. Four, and includes q
considerable number Of land owners
who will welcome the termination
Of the adjudication now in progress.
State Engineer J. G. Scrugham
Ia reported to have declared that
findings in this matter will take into
consideration the rights within the
lower and upper reaches Of the
Humboldt and inter-river districts,
with a due regard to the rights Of
the several subdivisions. Almost
one-half Of the water users of the
Humboldt valley reside in Elko
county above Palisade and in
the distribution Of final rights their
full seasonal requirements must be
taken into account. This policy,
followed in the inter-river districts
and In the Lovelock neighborhood
may result In the apportionment of
the annual excess flow Of the Hum
boldt river to . degree that will re-
act against the further development
Of irrigation along the states larg-
est river, say those familiar with
the facts.
The annual wastage Of the Hum
boldt river. over a ten-year period,
Is about 10000 acre feet, this
being the flow that has discharged
in the sink some miles below Love-
lock.
The view Is held In legal circles
In this city that should the findings
Of the state engineers force award
this excess flow to the several dis
tricts along the river, almost one
half would thus 60 to Elko county
ranchmen, while the remainder
would not be Of sufficient amount
to warrant the construction of ex-
psnsive irrigation works at any
other point along the Humboldt.

"A record attendance turned OUT
at the Humboldt County Chamber
Of Commerce rooms last evening to
select officers and enjoy the hospi-
tality of the evening. More than
fifty Of the city's business men were
present and every business firm in
the city had representation. S.
District Judge j. A. Callahan was
selected as president of the chamber
Of commerce by a vote that was
made in reclamation. He was not
present and q committee, consisting
of Mayor Brandon, ]. w. Wilson
and Theodore Grady, was named to
proceed to the judges home and
give him official notification. The
new president was brought to the
clubrooms by automobile and after
being advised of his new position by
Mayor Brandon, responded with re-
marks Of appreciation, accepting the
place and promising his heartiest
efforts to the tasks involved, ex-
planning that his judicial position
required his absence from Winnie
mucca at frequent intervals.
The new vice-presidents who will
serve in his stead at such times are !:
M. Reinhart, first vice-president;
C. P. Hoskins, second vice-president; !;
C. Allison, third vice-president. Each
was elected by reclamation, as was
C. e. Robins, who was given his old
post Of treasurer.
Don Cooper, E. NJ. Bosch, C. B.
Brown, H. P. Asst, E. H. Gilman
and C. L. Tobin were elected to con-
stitute, the board Of directors.
A vote of commendation was
given amidst hearty hands," using
the vernacular of the stage world,
to C. B. Brown, retiring president.
In his response Mr.. Brown reviewed
the activities of the chamber Of
commerce during the last year and
spoke of the vicissitudes through
which the several commercial or
ganizations have passed during his
many years Of residence, and said
he believed the present chamber Of
commerce is builded upon founda-
tion that will be lasting and Of in
finite benefit to the county Of Hum
boldt.
Following the election Of officers
q program was given at the instance
of the officials Of the chamber of
commerce, each number being do
mated by the performers through q
high sense Of public spirit which is
generally appreciated. The pro-
gram was as follows:
Selection by L. L. Sewers or
chestra, composed of Mrs. Baldes,
Mr.. Sewers, Chester Smith, Stewart
Robinson and Oscar Reinhart.
Songs and instrumental music by
]. A. Reaveley and Geo. Cavanaugh.
A funny story by F. C. Krenkel.
Smokes and grape juice punch
were served and the litter left on
the floor, composed Of ashes and
cigar and cigarette stubs, formed
ample proof Of a regular masculine
good time.
Earlier in the evening Secretary
Theodore Grady gave a review of
the accomplishments and activities

an initial decline due to heavy

The Dixie.


THE Crimson Challenge
showing at the Dixie. today, is the
screen version of Vingle e. Roes
novel "Tharon of Lost Valley"
and is a tale of the far west.
where, If we are to believe what
the writer's tell us. the folk live in
an almost uncivilized state, so far
as thei- thirst for the blood OF
their fellow men is concerned.
Into this atmosphere goes the
college-bred daughter of Jim Last,
a ranchman and soon thereafter
her father is shot from behind by
a villianous coward, Buck Court
rey by name, and aaron swears
to avenge her Fl. ,.:or's death.
Dorothy Dalton is the girl In
the case. who almost 1one-handed
battles her way through most try
ing and dangerous situations to
accomplish her purpose, and to
protect herself from the evils
that surround her. It is typical
of the western stories, with the
usual rough element who r al
ways making trouble for those
who would live in peace.
News and comedy are the add
ed features.
