TRUCKEE MEADOW FARMERS
RAISE FUNDS FOR PUMPS

Definite action to raise approx
mately $4,000, half of the estimat-
ed cost to install and operate pumps
at Lake Tahoe for the relief of True
kee Meadows water users. was taken
at a meeting of ditch owners and
representatives in the chamber of
commerce rooms Monday night, says
the Journal.
BY vote of 43 to 2, the water
users present agreed to the levying
of so cents an inch on their water
rights, providing that 800 second
feet of water be pumped or In some
other way transferred from Lake
Tahoe to the Truckee river on or
before August 10. the 800 second

Power company and the reclamation
service will be asked to contribute
the remaining $4,000 necessary to
the success of the plan. George A
Campbell, manager of the power
company. was present and assured
the water users that the company
would be willing to bear Its share OF
the expense. although he was not
then able to make any definite state
ment as to what the amount would
be.
Guy Waits, who acted as chair
man In the absence of p. A McCar-
ran, declared that from expression
of opinion he had heard on the part
OF city officials he did not doubt but
that both Reno and Sparks would
also agree to aid the ranchers In thi'
district. The sentiment of the recla.
nation service was also thought to
be favorable.

pumping costs and the best methods
to raise the money.
State Engineer Allen presented
figures showing that the total cost
to install and operate four 36-inch
pumps over the 60-day period would
approximate $4,000. He said tha,
the money would have to be appor
toned as follows: Ten thousand
dollars for the pumps. $4,000 fol-

Weevil Quarantine On Hay
May Be Modified Soon
Efforts Being Made To Release Crop; New
Survey Made and Matter Under
Consideration

While this county Is temporarily
under quarantine on account of find
Ing weevil on the bench sections
above this valley, speculation is rife
concerning the outlet for the hay
crop of this valley. From all indica-
tions there will be plenty of market
irrespective of the California action
against this specific section.
There is still hope entertained that
the quarantine will be modified, as
efforts are being made by the Cali
fornia stock growers and sheep men
to effect some sort of compromise.
A meeting with members of the Cali
fornia stock growers and DR.. Hecke
at Sacramento was held a few days
ago and It was pointed out that un-
less feed was procurable that tre-
mendous losses would follow. This
is admitted from one end Of the coast
to the other, and where there Is feed
on the coast 1t is all contracted for
or will be used locally, allowing prac.
tically none for export.
The recent hot spell that has swept
over the coast has added to the dis
tress of the cattle men and ranges
are reported In dryer condition than
has been known In the history of the
west.
Inquiries continue to come to this
section as to the possibility of bring
ing In cattle for feeding. 1t is UNDER
stood that undoubtedly arrangements
will be made by the county author
tiles allowing cattle shipments onto
the project from districts that have
not been under the foot and mouth
ban.
Contracts In Douglas County
Contracts are recorded from Doug
las county to California parties for
hay In the stack at $40 per ton. This
deal was put through by tho Spring
meyer company. Others in the same
county are contracting at or near
this price.
In the section north of Reno hay is
in demand. Recently considerable
hay was disposed of at S22 per ton
in the stack and s25 per ton baled
Some offers have been made for hay
in this valley but not at the prices
quoted.
Conditions In Smith and Masor
valleys indicate that there will moi
be near an average crop In the two
sections. Water shortage In both dis
tricts has materially cut down tht
crop. while In Smith valley grass
hoppers have reduced the crop and
have necessitated calling in experts
to combat the pest.
Drouth conditions prevail general
ly over the state, is the report of the
Nevada Livestock Association. and a
warning has been sent out for has
conservation for fall and winter feed

1t was the opinion of the three
that crops looked better in this val
ley than in any of the sections they
had visited. They all predict that the
valley will see additional population
owing to the agricultural showing
that has been made this summer
when practically all of the other sec

ROADS BADLY CUT

Trucking to and from the Lahon-
tan dam has resulted In some badly
cut up roads. The extra heavy loads
being hauled over the road have
shaken down bridges and otherwise
rutted up the highway. The lack of
moisture has also been a factor In
dusty road conditions over the entire
county.
The road from Lahontan across
the desert toward Dayton is In very
good condition and many tourists are
noted coming in from that section of
the Lincoln highway.

been since the commencement of the
iri cation season. The dam lacked
seven feet of being full which repre-
sents considerably over $4,000 acre
feet of water that was not stored.
That this was mistake is generally
known, as IT Is supposed that the
head Of the reclamation office fig.
ured on a partial spring run off to
take care of the shortage. This did
not follow and the reservoir has
steadily shrunk. Had the reservoir
been at its capacity there would have
been more than another month sup
ply OF water on hand. II is one of
the conditions that will have to be
taken into consideration by the city
council and the merchants and peo-
pie Of this city and section.

Last Thursday a meeting was held
in Reno at the chamber of commerce
club with DR.. Mead when the matter
of Investigations in relation to the
building of Spanish Sprinks was TAX
en- up. The meeting brought many
men of Nevada together who are In
terested in the development of the
state and the further expansion of
farming. Contrary to general expec
tion to immediate construction of
Spanish Springs reservoir, but named
a committee which will carry on In
vestigations as to the practical side
of such government expenditures.
DIR. Mead was kept busy on his
visit to Reno as he was feated and
entertained and held several private
conferences. This was expected and
was one reason for urging this head
of the reclamation department to
come to Fallon, where the results of
farming from stored water are
shown. Following the closeted hear
ings and the public gathering where
the Spanish Springs proposition was
gone over the following were named
as a commission to go over the entire
subject matter and make a report
that can be used at the December
term of congress:
F. b. Headley, of the United States
bureau of plant investigation; David
Week of the University of California,
chairman; A. c. Cooley of the u. 8.
department of agriculture, and Cecil
w. Creel. agricultural extension di-
rector of the University of Nevada
A committee for soil survey and clas-
sification included Robert Stewart
and F. b. Headley; committee on
land values and type of agriculture
was named, consisting OF 9. p. Doten,
chairman. A. c. Cooley, Duane Bush
and David Weeks; committee on land
levying and clearing, c. g. Swingle,
chairman. F. b. Headley, L. L. Moody
and ]. F. Richardson; engineering

others.
Will Investigate
DR.. Mead In his address to the
people at the luncheon stated that he
would do all in his power to carry
on Investigations and seek reliable
information on the Spanish Springs
reservoir plans. His Indication that
there must be thorough investiga-
tion before the plans are adopted met
the approval of the Newlands prof.
ect people who attended the session.
There was no discussion in rela-
tion to the Newlands project during
the meeting, which was dlsappoint
ment to the people of the project, as
great many matters that need ad
justment have been called to the at
tention of DR.. Mead. His assurance
that there will be thorough investi.
cation before construction leaves a
bit of assurance in the minds of the
people that he will take up the New
lands project troubles before he puts
his approval on a new unit.
Were Ready To Go
From the statements made by En-
gineer F. e. Weymouth II is certain
that he and the Reno advocates OF
the reservoir were ready to go, re-
gardless of what could have been ae-
complished The estimates made
were at hand and 1t was stated that
had the money been available that
bids on construction would have been
under way at the present time.
Regarding Settlers
George C. Kreutzer, recently ap-
pointed economic expert for the rec
lamation bureau, was present and
gave short talk on settlers. His
Idea is to hand pick them, as only

The meeting was opportune as II
has shown that there is to be inves-
tigation of the Spanish Springs end
by parties interested In that particu-
lar development and also by the peo-
pie OF this project who will file their
views with the administration heads
before definite action is taken.

w. M. Miller, on whose property
the work is being prosecuted, stated
that the property never looked so
good. He came in Monday for sup
plies and left the same evening for
the camp. He states that q recent
find on the knight ground shows
some excellent panning and he would
not be surprised to hear of big

asserts that his predictions are COM

Figuring On Mill

ciates are now figuring on custom

The Wilson placers never looked
as flattering. A recent find on
rifle section of the bed rock Is the
richest so far uncovered. This par
ticular section will sweeten up the
entire grade of the placer gravel
which Is to be treated in the trumble
mill. The mill is being renodeled in
some respects and should be in work
ing order again this week As soon
as water can be provided another
mill will be Installed which wilt
double the capacity of the placer
workings.
On the Ratcliff lease ore of ship
ping character has been developed
and the leasers are now sacking for
a shipment. This find has started
others along the lode line OF the

sections will be developed through

Outlook Good

To those who keep their finger on
the pulse of trade and conditions
over tho valley the outlook seems
bright for a good market for all tho
hay produced in this valley. The out
side sections realize that an excellent
crop Is being harvested here and it is
certain that two full crops Will be
taken from the project farms, which
10 more than is anticipated over any
other section In the state.
Reports from Lovelock are to the
effect that the crops at that point are
SIS per cent as a whole. In some sec
tions there will be small crops while
in others the first crop will be heavy.

heavy production from that feeding

Irrespective of what temporary ac
tion may be taken by California on
the weevil situation 1t is certainty
that this will be the last year of hay
shipments from this valley. This is
conceded by all those who are most
deeply interested in this expectation.
On the other hand the farm bu
reau and federal agriculturist auth
critics state that another season will
see more demand for local hay owing
to the steady increase in dairy cows
over the project. While 1t is possible
that all of the hay cannot be used
locally another season, yet many
thousand tons will be consumed that
heretofore were figured for ship.

against rushing to sell hay. His ad-
vice Is to walt until the season closes
as there Is no certainty as to the
amount of hay cut for a third crop.
He states that some of the dairymen
sold themselves short last fall, nee.
essitating buying which took off con-
siderable profits from the cream
checks. In fact he asserts that the
loss is just now being made up. as
many cows did not receive the nee

owing to over selling.
