YESTERDAY morning they had
4 occupied the town. Only yester-
day shots had been laundering in
the streets, but now all those
little houses seen from the hill
looked so quiet and peaceable. But
Gornuikh knew that yesterdays
fame had been thrown up by
them. He knew, and feared a new
eruption, and was taking precau-
tons against it. This fear had
made him instantly suppress the
sobbing that had shaken him over
Klimin's corpse, the sobbing caused
by almost a weeks lack of sleep
and the most terrible nervous
strain, take on the management of
the enquiry, and, tho he was not
actually the senior of the surviv-
ing Checklists, the direction of all
the work of the Cheka had some
how fallen of its own accord into
his hands.
Few of the bandits left the
town. The red-headed fellow,
wounded during the seizure of the
Communist Company's Headquar-
ters, had been made prisoner, and
Gornuikh confronted him with the
other bandits, with the peasants
from the neighboring villages who
had been caught in the town and
were now mild, timorous and de-
jected as if after a drunken head
ache, and had no difficulty in dis
covering in him one Of the leaders
Of the revolt. And Gornuikh, who
had already appointed the day and
hour when he was to be shot, now
promised him pardon, now threat
ened, now wheedled, and was tire
less in the use of thousand cum
ming tricks Of cross-examination
And sometimes it seemed to the
red-headed one that he had fallen
into the hands Of an attentively
quiet devil, or rather into the
teeth of a merciless machine, one
OF those ingenious, precise, Amer
lean machines which in ten min
utes turn a living, squealing pig
into a silent mound of sausages.
If Gornuikh was not himself
cross-questioning, he was walking
thru the rooms Of the investiga-
tors, not interfering, but following
the questions, reading the proto-
coils of the evidence, and now and
again going Off by himself to his
Office, where he shut himself up,
sat there alone for long time,
propping his shaggy head on his

Already the bell had tinl5led, the
room had grown silent, and from
the middle of the arena, suffering
and blushing, the secretary of the
Town District Committee was pro-
posing the election of a President.
+. s. A heavy puzzled murmur roll
ed along the benches. Whom were
they to elect, when the very best,
the most stallnch and capable were
lying in collins covered with red
flags. Some one shouted the name
of Klimin, some one doubtfully
named Simkova. But these
names the secretary did not write
down.
"Comrade Karaulov," came the
thin, sugary voice of Matusenko.
But Karaulov refused. He did
not know how to preside. Of that
the comrades were well aware. Be-
sides, today he was not well. :. ..

the gallery, a strong voice thsew

single thought, staring at the
sheet of paper lying before him
on the table, and now and again
carefully, sparingly, writing down
a word, another, as the course of
the revolt became ever clearer and
clear to him. Now, in half dozen
sentences he told Karaulov the
whole result of the many hours of
the minute labor of the enquiry.
Suddenly Karaulov interrupted
him:
"You see that girl standing
there? She's a schoolmistress
went thru lot during the revolt
and can tell you something of the
murder of Robeiko. / told her to
come to the meeting to meet you.
There, standing by the entry. -.
Comrade Gratchev3, come here"
And Gornuikh saw the pale face
of girl, long straight locks of
pale haxen hair falling on fore
head and cheeks, frightened blue
eyes, and heard a trembling voice:
Il want to give evidence :.
about the murder of Comrade Ro-
beiko. / was present at it.

appearance of Repin, so handsome,

with them, of her wandering thru
the town during the night of the
revolt. Now and again she went
off into unnecessary details, and
then Gornuikh gently and conf
IDENTIFY asked questions, and steered
her story in the direction he need
ed. At first her shyness inter-
fered with her talking, and she
spoke disconnectedly, but after
wards she was more and more car
ried away, her voice grew more
and more confident, and she even
began timorously to gesticulate.
When she told of the murder of
Robeiko her eyes overfowed with
tears. -.
Listen, Gornuikh," said Karau-
Low, when Gornuikh left Lisa, "I've
been watching you just now and
been amazed to see what a capable

1t was the first time in his life
that Gornuikh had had to preside
over so large a meeting. Cor
nuikh lost his head a little, did
not know what to do, while the
meeting, like a tanned beast Of
prey, lay submissively at his feet,
grew quiet, and fixed its many
eyed gaze on him, its master. And
insteal of the common sentence,

the reading of the agenda for the
day, from his tongue came other
words, heavy and sharp, which en-
tered into the consciousness of his
audience, like nails into wood I'M

words smelted and wrought by
Gornuikh's strong Judgment and
determination during that critical
week.
He told how grave had been the
danger of the revolt already past.

walking on thin ice, under which

RETURN TO PROJECT
AND BUY FARM PROPERTY

Believing that this section of Ne
vada offers the best opportunity for
farming, Mrs. NJ. L. Patterson of
Piedmont. Calf, has purchased loo
acres of land from the I. H. Kent
Company at Saltwater.
The property includes the dwell
ing on the south of the road that
was occupied by l. II. Kent and fam
lily. The grove of trees, and hot water
well went with the transfer
-Four sons will assist Mrs. Patter-
son in handling this property, they
being Garth, formerly of this valley,
Robert, viii and Wayne. 1t is ex-
pected that active farm work will
start on the holdings this spring.
Mrs. Patterson, whose father spent
the pioneer days In this section, has
made a number of visits here and has
always wished to make this her resi-
dence. The purchase of this desir-
able farm property gives the family
a holding that is certain of success.
Mrs. Patterson is a sister of Mrs.
Nell Price, Mrs. Joe Howser. and an
aunt of Clarence DeArmond of Still

Water In Canals
For Irrigation
Effort Will Be Made
to Prevent Water
Waste This
Season

Water has been turned into the
main canals leading from the diver
sion dam to the different points on
the project. The drying winds of the
past month and the slack moisture
made this move necessary. Many
farmers are taking advantage of the
first irrigation and while a full head
has not been turned in the supply is
sufficient for present needs.
No Waste Water
An endeayor is to be made to pre-
vent any waste of water this season.
Il is realized by the reclamation Of
flee that there will be comparatively
little runoff from the Carson and
Truckee rivers to help carry over the
late period of irrigation here and at
the bench section. Unnecessary waste
CT water will be prevented where pos
sible and an appeal to the farmers
along this line Is to be made.
Drainage Lowers Water
Following the inauguration of
drainage and the completion of the
$50 miles of bitches, the water table
has been materially lowered. This
results in the requirement of more
water than heretofore as the root
system has gone deeped and water is
at considerable deeper level over
the entire project.
The conclusion of the water board
to install pumps at Lahontan for re-
lief of the bench system is going to
make a considerable drain on the
reservoir, as power is also required
in greater quantity for this work.
Surveys are being made of the
water condition at the reclamation
office, and while it is going to take
some close figuring to furnish the
extra supply of water this season
there is belief that there will be no
real shortage during the irrigation
period.
New Lands Being Added
While considerable new land is be-
ing added to the irrigated area 1t
will receive a full quota of water.
Considerable old ground that was
neglected in slack times is being put
in order for crops this season, and
while there has always been an over
abundance of water for all purposes
waste is not to be federated this
season.
Storms of the past week it is be-
lieved will add some water to the
Carson and Truckee watershed and
it is possible that other storms may
aid in relief to the Fernley and
bench districts.

DRAINAGE OF PROJECT
PRODUCES HEAVY SALTS

An interesting item is collected by
the reclamation office and the ex-
perimental farm through the mea-
surements of alkali and salts from
the $50 miles of drain canals that
have been dug in this section.
The annual round up of mineral
salts shows an Astonishing amount
of mineral drained from the soils
over the project. Tests that are taken
and analysis of contests made show
that during the year that 10000
tons of alkali and other minerals
were taken from the farm lands and
deposited in the sink and pot holes
where the waters eyaporate.
This measurement is carefully re-
corded and there is little chance of
mistake, as the flow is measured reg
ularly while analysis is being carried
on continually at the labratory at
the experimental farm.
Before the drainage system was
finished much of this material was
being forced to the surface, running
the soil for agricultural purposes.
With the drains established great
areas of formerly soggy and alkali
lands have been reclaimed and are
being put back into bearing condi-
tion.
If there was any commercial use
for alkali this project would prove
a mint commercially as 10000 tons
of alkali salts would keep the rail
roads hustling to move the quantity

DRAINAGE FUNDS
Seem ASSURED

The fight To restore the sum
of S245, 900 for drainage on the
Newlands project, which has
been before congress some time
and on which several conferences
have been held, has been won,
according TO a telegram received
by G. G. Swingle from Congress-
man Richards Monday. The tele-
gram reads as follows:
"The conferees on the depart
ment of interior appropriation
bill have agreed to the senate
amendment increasing the APP
preparation to $40, 900 for
drainage on the Newiands pro-
ject."
The sum was originally rec
commended by the department of
the interior but was eliminated
through the advise of Miles Can
non, general field commissioner.
Since that time the sum Sas
stricken from the appropriation
bill by the house and has now
been restored through the ef-
forts of Senators Pittman and
Oddie and the work of Congress-
man Richards.
True yencill, as a representa-
tive of the water board from
this project, has been in WASH
ington the past several weeks

toration.
There seems to he every rea-
son to believe tina, the bill and
appropriation as it now stands
will pass and that the needed
sum TO complete drainage ON
this project viii follow.
Senate Approves Drainage
The following telegram re-
ceived from Senator Key Pitt
man Tuesday afternoon confirms
the former dispatches relative TO
the approval of the passage of
the appropriation bill with the
project drainage as one of the
clauses:

ject drainage.

Victory Highway Meeting
Favors Original Road System
Papers Indicate That Hazen Plan Not in Favor;
Churchill Will Have to Look to
Other Outlet For Highway

AT a recent meeting of the Chur.
chill County Chamber of Commerce
it was proposed to send delegation
of road boosters to Winnemucca to
listen in on the Victory road meet.
ing and also suggest that amend
ments to the plans be made SO as to
leave an inlet into this county. The
plan was to suggest that instead OF
going TO Wadsworth that the high
way be swung further this way and
enter at Hazen, which would not only
help the project but incidentally the
whole of the state.
To those who had attended pre-
vious sessions of the Victory high
way meetings it was regarded as q
waste of time and that there would
be no diversion from the original
plan, as the Victory highway people
are set on one puruose, the quickest
way to Reno, and Reno has the same
idea in view, as has been shown on
previous meetings and utterances by
those who have attended the meet
ings.
Meets Disfavor
The Loyelock paper and the Win
nemucea papers are of the opinion
that any change of plans will meet
with disfavor, and as they are on the
ground they undoubtedly know what
they are writing about, which only
goes to carry out the assertions made
by this paper on several occasions
that the Victory people are not lend
ing hand to anything but their own
needs, which is entirely right from
their own standpoint, and we have
no-dispute with them on that score.
Let Plans Slip
The trouble with the primary high
way program is that this county and
Ormsby and Lyon let things slip
when they had a good hold on the
situation. Several years ago the Lin
coin highway began a program OF
highway building in this state and
put up real money. Had it not been
Tor the Lincoln highway money the
four and eight-mile flats east OF
here would not have been built and
much other highway work would
have been in the discard.
AT the time of the selection of the
primary route there was too much
difference of opinion and lack oil
cooperation on the part of good read
boosters here and along the Lincolr
highway route. Had they shown ths
same energy that is evidenced by the
Victory people the Lincoln highway
would today be across this state and
have been the primary route.
During the time of the dispute be-
tween the virtues of the two routes,
both leading to Reno, the riverside

WADE SUFFERS
BAD INJURIES AT FARM

Edward Wade, one. OF the well
known farmers to the etst of this
city suffered a number of bad in
juries when he slipped and fell from
hay stack Monday
While feeding he lost his balance
and plunged head foremost to the
ground. The fall resulted in the
breaking of his left arm and dis
location of the right wrist, as he
endeayored to save himself by ex-
tending his arms. He was also un-
conscious for a time following the
accident.
Word from the farm Tuesday is
that he is resting as comfortable as
possible and that he is recovering
from the slight concussion sustained
in his fall.

CoNFESSES HORSE THEFT;
GETS YEAR IN PRISON

Arthur Giottonini. a 17-year-old
youth employed at the Freeman farm
turned up missing with a horse, sad
die, blankets, rifle and other farm
ownings last Saturday night. Word
was sent to the sheriff's office and
search for the young man was in
stituted.
Sheriff Crane took up his trail and
followed him east for a day. The
boy on finding he was trailed re-
turned to the farm and liberated the
horse and was later arrested at Still
water.
Upon being brought before Judge
Ballard he confessed his crime and
was sentenced to term of from one
to twelve years in the penitentiary.
He was taken to Carson last Friday.

boy has been in his sentence fol-
lowed.

club people instead of remaining neu-
trail on the subject stood with the
Victory highway program. This fact
has added materially to the weight
OF force exercised in the selection OF
the primary route.
The opening of the Midland trail
through this section, which would
meet with Bly, Pine and then on to
southern California, will undoubted-
ly have support from this section.
In fact, until the Lincoln highway Is
