grantee company must pay fees to
the state totaling $1445. Of the
sum $25 is for filing and recording
the permit and the remaining
$1420 is a permit fee. Under the
state irrigation law the first 1000
acre feet commands fee from the
beneficiary at the rate of five cents
per acre foot aand thereafter the
rate is three cents per acre foot,
according to the Lovelock Review
miner.
Word has been issued that addi-
tional storage facilities are to be
created at Humboldt as rapidly
following the receipt of the state
permit as financial conditions will
admit. New construction is to be
carried on continuously until the
new scheme is matured, the rapidity
of work to be guaged by the ability
of Lovelock valley residents to de-
fray costs without involvement or
Inconvenience.
About ninety per cent of the
water users of the Lovelock valley
are stockholders in the Humboldt
Lovelock Irrigation, Light and
Power Company. Those in control
of the affairs Of the company with
others agreeing, entertain the opin-
ion that the additional storage
rights granted by state authorities
on Tuesday will lead to the even

With the granting of the right to
effect additional storage at Hum.
boldt, state officials had taken cog.
nizance of. three new irrigation
schemes within the valley of the
Humboldt. The largest diversion
privilege is that accorded J. Shee.
han of Winnemucca and John G
Taylor of this city, together with
associates, who have 100000 acre
feet of water and would transform
the Grass Valley area southwest OF
Winnemucca and inaugurate farm
crop supply that win perpetually
forbid famine in our esteemed
neighboring city; the second largest
diversion right is that accorded the
Lovelock company in the new 50,-
900 acre foot appropriation, and the
third extends storage rights at
Devils Gate in Elko county, where
$4,000 acre feet of water may be
retained throughout future seasons

work on the proposed dam will start,
but it is understood that this work
is to begin before the first of the
year. It is estimated that sufficient
electrical energy can be generated
at the dam to supply the proposed

however, is merely conjecture at the

ial, surveying the project, and MAX
ing plans for its successful culmin-
alton have been under way for
several months and from all that
can be learned of the enterprise,
there is no doubt but what it will be
carried through successfully.
In addition to the granting of the
permit to ]. J. Hylton, the state en-
gineer also granted permission to
the Humboldt Irrigation Light and
Power Company of Lovelock
to double the capacity of its
reservoir, which at present is capa-
BILE of storing $1,000 acre feet of
water. This project, together with
the Winnemucca and North Fork
project, practically completes the
reclamation of land along the Hum
boldt so far as the arranging for
available water is concerned.
Actual development of the land
coming under the various projects is
just starting, however, and the next
few years should make an appreci-
able difference in the wealth not
only of this county, but of the en-
tire state.
