WILL LET CONTRACT ON
HAFED-VISTA HIGHWAY

The state highway department,
which is to grade the Washoe county
highway from Reno to the east coun-
ty line, will be ready to let the grad
ing contract for the five mile stretch
between Hated and Vista the first
part of January, 1t was made known
this week after a conference be
tween e. T. Hinshaw, district high
wy engineer, and members of the
board of county commissioners, says
the Gazette.
As soon as this work is completed.
according to ]. C. Durham, county
commissioner, that portion of the
highway between Derby and the east
county line will be graded. No ef-
forts will be made to concrete the
road in 1924. it was said, but within
another year. after it has settled, II
is said to be likely the entire stretch
to the county line will be paved.
The county at present is rebuilding
bridges and culverts on the road be

Reclamation Office Figures
Tell of Healthy Conditions
Increase in Land Settlement; Dairy In
tereas Gain Over All Other
With Poultry a Factor

The following review of the New
lands project as furnished by w. A.
Simmonds of the local reclamation
office from data furnished him By
the different ditch riders and other
sources, shows a steady but sure ad-
yancement on this project which has
in some instances been declared as
among the failures. Considering the
stress of the times and the collapse
of pricess following the war period.
the section as a whole shows a most
notable advancement.
One of the outstanding features OF
this report is the new lands that is
going under cultivation. The report
shows that 1,275 acres of new land
was prepared during the year and
this will the coming season be In
bearing condition. Two thousand
seven hundred and thirty-seven peo-
pie are credited with being on farms
within the project and that the total
invested in land and improvements
comes to s7031,077. The present
value of the farms, with improve
ments, exclusive of stock and equip
ment is placed as $7,927,40O.
Dairy interests advanced material
ly as 1t is shown that there is an
increase in dairy story to the amount
of 100000 within the year.
The cantaloupe market proved of
value to this project as despite the
poor growing season $50 acres were
devoted to the culture with 34,913
crates being marketed at a total
value of S36,222.

Fact Finders
Due Jan. 10th
Local Committee
Will Prepare
Complaint

In a recent issue of the Reno Ga
zette it is stated that word has been
received by Governor Scrugham that
the federal fact finding committee
would be on the Newlands project on
January 10th.
No word confirming this telegram
has been received at the local recla-
nation office. During the month
word was received to the effect that
the committee or a portion of the
u embers would be here, this was
confirmed in a telegram from Sen
ator 0ddie to Senator Vencill, on his
inquiry as to the necessity of sending
a committee to Washington to pre-
sent project facts for relief.
Project Manager Richardson stated
Saturday that no further word had
been received locally but that he be-
lieved that some of the members
would be here during the fore part
Of the coming month.
President Swingle, of the farm bu-
reau, together with others who take
vital interest in the future of the
project, stated that the committee
appointed some time ago would be
prepared should the committee ar.
rive.
1t is expected that the lawyers rep
resenting the water users interests
and the farm bureau will be here
next week and will assist in drawing
a concise complaint for presentation,
as it is realized that it will be i'm
possible to present all of the personal
views that individuals believe need
airing.
The arrival of any of the commit
tee will be welcomed by the local
committee as 1t is the general belief
that some good may be accomplished
by concerted or concentrated eff
fort of the people of the project in a
combined protest against matters
that undoubtedly have been against
the interest and advancement of the
project.

A CLOSE CALL

Saturday afternoon during the
busy hours on Center street Luther
Cone, a lad about ten years of age
rushed across the street and lodged
in front of slow moving machine
driven by woman.
The boy was knocked down and
fortunately the car passed over him,
he being PROSTATE lengthwise of the
machine. Aside from bad bruise on
his head the youngster was uninjured
and made his way home amid tears.
No blame of any nature could be
ascribed to the driver of the ma

STERNO VICTIM

The habit of using canned heat,
Sterno, by the Indians had fatal ef-
feet some time Saturday night when
an Indian took an overdose of this
coneoction. which is made from the
bricks and drank in place of real
booze.
Sunday morning the Indian was
found stiff and cold in a field to the
west of town and q number of the
cans were In his possession which
indicated the route he had taken.
The Indians have been warned
against the use Of this wood alcohol
combination both by the authorities
and the people at the reservation, as
several have been made dangerously
sick by its use.

of bringing the reorganization to thu
highest possible point of morale and
efficiency by the recognition of merit
where shown, elimination of lost mo
ton and Implications CT service, the
disconrinuance of unnecessary meth
DDS, practices, titles, and positions
and the supplying of additional help

cerpts from their report. dated Octo
ber 81, will be of interest to the
water users:
We found the bureau organized
along unbusinesslike lines and that
the results achieved were not COM
mensurate with the effort and money
expended. The titles held by some
are not descriptive of the duties per-
formed, and the work assigned 9TH
ers is not of nature to warrant a
supervisory or professional title.
Terms used in the accounting divi-
tion have long been the source of Con-
fusion even within the bureau and
reports received by US from the divi-
sion concerning expenditures for
settlement work were not accurate
in their presentation of COSTS"
Their report carries a total OF
27 recommendations covering various
prases of administration. One Of
their recommendation summarizes
briefly the reorganization plan ef.
feoted. as follows:
That the Washington office of
the Bureau of Reclamation be re-
organized. This plan provides that
the position of assistant to the COM
missioner of reclamation be elimin
ated as it is unnecessary to have bot,
an assistant commissioner and an
assistant to the commissioner. That
the lands and contracts division be
consolidated will the legal division
and the use of the title Lands and
contracts be discontinued. The work
of the lands and contracts division
is approximately one-third legal and
the remainder related clerical work.
That the sections known as the mails
and files. settlement, appointments.
stengraphic, and Photographic labor
atory be placed under the supervision
of the chief clerk and consolidated
into one division to be knowa as the
chief clerks division. At present the
mails and files, appointments, and
messenger sections are under the as
sistant to the commissioner; the set
tlement, stenographic. and photo
graphic, and Photographic laboratory
sections are under the editor who has
charge of the miscellaneous division:
and the chief clerk is in the miseel-
laneous division. under the editor
having charge of one chauffeur and

few to give attention to raising corn
commercially. Three hundred and
sixty-seven acres of corn was grown
at value of $7,292.
The county also leads in alfalfa
yield as $4,000 acres is given over
to this hay crop with total tonnage
of S4,551. There was 2,I15 tons of
wheat threshed on the project and
practically all of 1t was or will be
used in the district as practically
none has been exported. 1t Is figured
that 27,254 turkeys were raised on
the project and that they have
brought in the neighborhood Of $780,

NEW STUDENTS EXPECTED
TO ENROLL AT Ii. Y. L.

Although the enrolment for the
winter quarter at the B. Y. U. which
commenced on December 10, is the
largest in the history of the school,
many others have indicated their in
tention of commencing after the holi-
days, according to President F. S.
Harris. Such students will have
missed two weeks of school. The auth
critics of the institution are of the
opinion that by diligent work, those
students will be able to make up their
studies.

The following from the Reclama
tion Record for December, is of in
terest to the water users and settlers
OF this project, as while it will no
materially cut expenses individually
the movement for better organization
and reduction of costs Is appreci
ated:
complete reassignmenl OF In.
Washington office of the Bureau ol
Reclamation coincident with the re,
organization of the field service has
been made by Secretary of the Inter
ior Work. The change will go into
effect on December 1.
"The plan provides for the discon-
tinuance of the services of IL en-
ployees, with an ultimate annual say
ing of $43,50O in saalries, and nom-
inal promotions of 16 employees,
amounting annually to S2,450, whose
work entitled them to higher pay.
With the transfer of the former as
sistant director of the reclamation
service to the legal division without
change in salary, the position of as
gistant commissioner has been dis
continued The total number of EN-
ployees in the Washington office un-
der the new plan will be Sc.
"The actual net saving, effective
December 1, 1923, amounts to s25.-
440 a year. with an additional saving
of s1s,060 in the near future. In
addition to this saving in salary the
water users will be relieved of con-
siderable expense in the form OF
travelling expenses of some of the
en- nployees whose services have been
discontinued. and while the amount
cannot be accurately estimated II
will run into thousands of dollars
"Other fruits of the reorganization
include the termination of the SER
vices of Is consulting engineers who
have been carried on the rolls of the
bureau at salaries ranging from 50
to $50 per day when actually en-
ployed, while seven other per diem
are eliminated from the
force.
Definite reassignment of duties
and changes in titles of many en-
ployees are also made. The office of
