LOVELOCK WATER
STORAGE LARGE

Work is being prosecuted regular
ly at the dams in the Humboldt
House vicinity by the Humboldt
Lovelock Irrigation, Light and Pow
er Company and it is certain that
the stored supply safeguarding this
district from drouth throughout
the year 1924 will exceed that of
previous years by approximately
5000 acre feet of water. 1t is the
plan of w. C. Pitt, president of the
company, to prosecute construction
work hereafter without intermission
to give storage facilities which will
fully utilize the diversion privileges
granted recently by the state adj
ministration, totaling $4,000 acre
feet, according to the Lovelock
Review-Miner.
New construction work will be
confined to the lower dam structure
and plans now entertained contem-
plate raising this impounding dirt
structure eight feet. The upper dam
Is declared to be adequate to the
added requirements of the enlarged
water storage permit although much
riprapping will be done there to
strengthen and maintain the dam.
When completed according to
plans in mind at this time the lower
dam will be two and one-half miles
across from end to end and will be
one of the largest earthen struc-
lures of the kind in the country.
A splendid four-room bungalow
was completed at the scene of the
dam building activities a short time
ago and George Pitt, in charge of
new work, is occupying the edifce.
All of the comforts of the city are
provided.
One of Mr.. Pitts principle tasks
concerns safeguarding the two dams
from the action of the waves. New
work is being carried out with a
special thought of this detail.
1t is declared that 10000 acre
feet of water will be carried over
through the coming winter to be
used for irrigation purposes next
season and the belief exists that
both reservoirs will be filled far in
advance of the next growing season.
The last requisition from the Hum
boldt storage will be made tomorrow.
Experience of the Lovelock COM
pany in its storage enterprise negate
the frequently made statement that
Humboldt river water carries silt to
degree that forbids profitable
water storage investment. Antici-
pating excuses of sits within two
reservoirs those behind the Lovelock
storage scheme provided settling
ponds near the point of diversion
from the river channel with the re-
suit that the flow of water reach
ing the reservoirs is practically free
of silt.

however, he received another and
more serious stroke, from the eff
fects of which he was compelled to
take to his bed. This afternoon Mr..
Pascal is resting easily and should
be fully recovered in a day or two,
barring the possibility of another
attack.

NATIONS CRIME BILL
SET AT THREE BILLION

NEW YOR.-The national crime
bill is more than $3,000,000,000 a year,
according to estimates of the custom
house, police, credit associations and
other authorities made public by the
National Surety Co.
The greatest single item is stock
frauds, the annual loss from which is
estimated at $1,000,000,00O by Sey-
mour L. Cromwell, president of the
New Rork stock exchange. Fraudu-
lent bankruptcies were estimated by
j. H. Tregoe, secretary of the Nation
al Association Of Credit Men, to in
f1ict annual losses Of $400,000,00 on
the investing and specializing public.
According to the figures, every man,
woman and child in the United States
is robbed or cheated out of about $50
year; or putting it in another way
enough crime is committed in the
United States to earn an income OF
$50 head to every American.
There has never been time in the
history Of this country or the world
when crime has been so prevalent, &C
cording to William B. Joyce, chair
man Of the board of directors Of the
National Surety Co He pointed out
that the $3,OO0,OO000O lost through
crime is a larged sum by $500,000,O00
than the total of the country's annual
Imports

COAL SHORTAGE NOT
FEARED BY BADGERS

MADISON, Wis-WiscOnsin officials
fear no coal shortage in Wisconsin
this winter.
State institutions will have their
supply of soft coal for the winter in a
short time according to j. G. D. Mack,
state engineer. The state uses prac-
ticaIly no hard coal
There is little likelihood that
state fuel commission will be put into
operation this year unless there is an
unexpected development in the coal
situation.
Edward Nordman, director of the
state department of markets, asserted
that he believed the federal govern
ment would take steps to prevent a
serious shortage from the announced
miners strike and that the state
would not need to take any action on
this account.
There have been no appeals to the
state this year and coal seems to be
moving in good shape, state officials
declare.
Coal docks on the Great Lakes are
said to hold abundant supply for Wis
consin.
Coal dealers, however, are urging
that fuel supplies be laid in early to
avoid the annual rush at the coming
of cold weather. Such situation, it
is declared, might cause trouble this
fall.

2O,103,761 CATHOLICS
IN COUNTRY, IS CLAIM

There are 2O,1O3,761 Catholics N
the United States, according to "The
Catholic Press Directory" which has
just been published by Joseph H.
Meier of GA West Randolph street,
Chicago. The directory was issued
under the endorsement of the officials
Of the Catholic Press association.
Although the number does not
agree with the figures Of the United
States census bureau, published III
1916, and although the total is much
higher than that given out by the
Protestant churches, Mr.. Meier says
that his Is years OF study of Catholic
statistics entitle him to say that the
figure 2O,1O3,761 is so nearly correct
that any errors which may be found
are negligible.
According to the directory, there
are 59,347 sisters and gums in the
United States; 22,545 Catholic clergy
men; 1902 Catholic churches; 212
seminaries, universities and colleges;
2O7 monasteries, abbies and scholas-
ticates; $50 converts and novitiates;
COS academies and boarding schools;
$50 Catholic high schools; $50 hoSpi-
tails and sanitaria, and 594 charitable
institutions.

The annual SteinbOrn reunion oc-
CURED Sunday, July 20, at the home Of
Mrs Ellen Whitcher
Mr.. and Mrs. Steinborn ST. were
early settlers in Harrison, coming
there IS years ago. They formerly
emigrated from Germany. Grand
mother Steinborn died in 1893 and
grandfather in 1908.
The event was a rOusing success.
All of the sons and daughters of Mr..
and Mrs. Steinborn were present with
the exception OF Anna Keene who died
in 1901, Henry jr., now Chief of Police
at Butte, Mont, and Mrs. Mary Ken
nedy of Bonnie Claire, Nevada. The

Tie; MRS. CarT16 OII OIL MANSFIELD,
Wash; Mrs. CARA Fox and daugh-
ters, Mrs. Mabel Dowell and son, AL

been five sets of twins born, two sets
being in one family.

friends OF the old family present,

korber and James Bradbury of Lan-

and occupied by Charles Ward.
Back from the street a short way
there stood log dwelling that was
built by pioneer Frenchman named
CorniQue, who occupied it with his
family for many years.
Daniel May, an early miner and pro-
moter, built a large one-story brick
residence that was at the time con-
sidered the handsomest dwelling in
Potosi. George Lee Anderson, an
early POtosi merchant and son-in-law
of Mays lived in this lOuse for
number Of years, or until he removed
to Dubuque Edward Warrington,
an English miner with capital, once
owned this place and occupied it prior
to removing to Dubuque. Rober+
Monahan, John P Bonn and Patrick
Mclaughlin in turn once owned the
premises. The old house became I'M
inhabitable, and Joseph Markus, the
present owner, built fine tWO-story
frame dwelling back a short distance
from where the old brick house
stands in a dilapidated condition.
North of this on the Potosi and
British Hollow road William Light
foot an early smelter, who came to
the Snake Hollow mines in 1887, built
a one-story frame house that he oc-
cupied with his family. He died il
1856. Robert H. Kendrick was the
next owner Of the premises and lived
here with his family for many years,
or until the death of his wife, when
he sold the property to Robert Travis,
and moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Travis has since converted the old
one-story building into handsome
two-story residence and made other
decided improvements in and about
the premises.
My next chapter will be devoted to
old buildings on the east side OF
North street from Kern's Wagon Shop
noruhward, then back to East street.
