The Livingston Enterprise, copper
owned daily, gave Gov. Dixon only q
small mention in reporting the COVER
nor's speech at Livingston but devot-
ed two columns to the meeting Of
former governor Stewart at Hobson.
The report in the Enterprise of the
Dixon meeting is said to be brief
and sorry attempt to be facetious.
There was time when Editor Flints'
attempts to be facetious were greeted
with smiles. Now the readers of the
Enterprise laugh out loud.

CLEARS RIGHT OF WAYS

Clearing the right of ways by the
county commissioners and state high

and 1t is believed that advertising for

1t has been pointed out by the
merchants of this city that by open
ing up a highway to the east that a
new field for merchandising is avail

of the produce from this section can
be handled by trucks that are now
practically excluded from market.
As this is a section of the Lincoln

GOOD REPORTS CONTINUE
FROM WILSON DISTRICT

Those coming in from Camp Will
son all agree that development work
that is being carried on is showing
up the values of the camp. Several
new shafts have been started and in
several instances good showings are
being made in both placer and lode
deposits.
The Knight property is attracting
as much attention as the Wilson
claims, as some very satisfactory as.
says have been returned from this
property. 1t is the general conten-
tion of those who have given the
camp the once over that 1t will make
a milling proposition, as while high
grade Is found in spots 1t will be the
big veins of mill grade gold ore that
will make the camp In the end.
Owing to the recent storm outside
work has slowed up to some extent
and few have made the trip in and
out the past few days.
Several parties will leave this week
for the diggings, including Joe
Hursh. w. w. Stockton, Smiley
Atkinson. Fred Branch and H. N
Riddel, who has taken a lease on
part OF the Wilson lode property.
Equipment has been going for
ward the past several weeks and
quite a camp has started near the
original discovery point. The recent
fall of snow will result In some plac-
er washing, as water is the one thing
the camp is shy on.

Electric Power Expansion
Necessary For Development
Rural Districts in Need of Modern Necessities
That City Inhabitants Enjoy

this matter has lately suggested tina
a program of expansion be decided
on for the new year; that the inter.
ests of the rural sections be given
consideration, as 1t is from this
source that Fallon stays on the map
and that the matter be taken up with
the power company and the public
service commission.
The matter should be among those
considered by the fact finding com
mission, as the heads of the bureau
are urging the use Of electricity on
farms as labor saver and a public
convenience commodity. It is admit
ted that the rural sections are not
sharing in the benefits of the power
created on the project, and this
should be brought to the attention
of the federal fact finders.
II the government can find no way
for better distribution of power it
should be done within the COUNTY
The improvements at the power plant
are of most concrete nature and
the benefits arising should be award
ed equally among the people of the
project.
Districts outside of the project are
being served with the power from
the Lahontan plant, and this is re-
garded as a situation that needs COR
rection.
There should be some concentrat-
ed effort made during the next
twelve months to right the situation
and stop the justifiable complaint of
the homesteaders on this project.

ENJOYING THE SNOW

The four inches of snow that dec
crates this section of Nevada is be-
ing thoroughly enjoyed by the young
people, as every available runner is
being hooked on behind an auto and
some fast rides are recorded. Several
close calls from accidents are record
ed and great care should be taken in
rounding corners while the practice
of hooking on is in progress.

Water Board Favorable
The members of the irrigation
board are favorable to continuance
of drainage and it is probable that
an election will be held to provide
funds. which are figured at $4,000
for completion of the drainage of
the entire project. The districts
which have been relieved by drain
age realize that 1t is only by their
action that relief can be given the
other sections that are in the same
position that was found over the
project before the bonds were issued
and the drags started work.
The members of the water board
are awaiting the arrival OF the fact
finding committee before definite ac-
tion is taken, as this matter is among
the many that will be taken up upon
their arrival.

men in general.
Aside from the location of the
mining camps and districts of tho
state the photography and geology Of
the section is given. The book, Gov.
ering some 800 pages deals with ev-
cry county in the state. giving the
original discovery, the disposition OF
the properties, the production, for
nation and activities. The early his

ty in the state to come under the
review. The data reaches from the
early sixties to the present date and

hausted later and the White Pine
rush. followed. the district was de-
serted for the new discovery and the
county seat was moved to Saltwater.

Completion Of Drainage
Under Consideration By Board
Engineer Walker Making Survey Of Necessary
Work For Relief of Whole Project

engineer Walker of the reclama
tfon office is making a survey of tn,
drainage in this valley together witt
contemplated extension, such as he
deems necessary to bring the project
to completeness as was first con.
templated.
In speaking of the necessity Of fur
ther drainage Mr. Walker states:
Soda Lake district, which is ore
OF the important arms of the pro-
ject, and where there are number
OF homesteaders who deserve everv
consideration, is in need of drainage
and a considerable amount of IL. The
people of the district assisted in SUM-

entitled to reciprocation by the pee

BE absolutely necessary.
There are other sections tn t
need the drainage to be in posi-
ion for maximum production. and
that is what is necessary to perfect
this project and make prosperity.
As to the amount necessary that is
to be determined by the irrigation
