Pittman Frames
Reservoir Bill
Spanish Springs APP
preparation Now
Before Senate

On March 26th Senator Pittman
introduced a bill to provide funds
for clearing titles to the right of way
and purchase of flood lands for the
Spanish Springs reservoir.
This move has been made by the
senior Nevada senator without wait
ing on the report of the fact finding
commission, which has not yet made
its report. This report, which was
promised early in March, has been
twice delayed. and a number of the
western senators have announced
that they would introduce measures
to provide for their locan conditions
without further delay The Pittman
bill, known as Senate No 2934, Is
as follows:
A bill making an appropriation
for additional water storage in Span
ish Springs valley, Newlands recla-
nation project, state of Nevada.
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in congress as
sembled, that the secretary of the
interior is authorized to take imme-
diate steps to provide supplemental
water storage in Spanish Springs val
ley for the purpose of supplying ad-
ditional water required by homestead
ers and settlers on the Newlands pro-
jeet and to bring additional land in
said project under irrigation and eul-
tivation, and for such purpose the
secretary of the interior is author
lied to purchase privately owned
lands and to settle, adjust, and ex-
tinguish prior claims to the use of
any water that may interfere with
the proper storage and use of such
waters.
Section 2. That there is hereby
appropriated, out of any money in
the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated, for the department of the
interior for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1925, the sum of s245, 600
for the purposes of this act.

HAY SHIPMENT NEARLY OVER

Hay shipments over the Southern
Pacific have dropped off approxi-
mately one-half in the past few
weeks, is the advise of Agent Buck
Icy at the Southern Pacific office.
Approximately twelve cars of has
n day are now leaving the project,
where as during the height of the
season double that number of cars
left daily.
1t is expected that the next few
weeks will practically clean up the
hay in this valley which has been
contracted for. 1t has mode one of
the best seasons that the project has
known and good prices have pre-
vailed.

Drainage Fund Provided
By Congressional Action
Restoration Made Possible By Activity of Dele
cation From Nevada; Project Must
Approve Band Issue

The passage of the appropriation
amendment for s245,0O0 for drain
age for the Newlands project by con-
gress puts the question of voting
bonds for this up to the water users
of the Newlands project. This will
have to be done before the sum is
available, this being provided in the
congressional action.
Election TO Follow
At specified time designated by
the water board the matter of bond
issue will have to come before the
people who are the most keeniy in
terested, the water users themselves.
The original bonds which provided
for the repayment to the government
carried by satisfactory majority
and the good that has followed is
known by every farm that drainage
has touched. Without this first 150
miles of drainage the Newlands pro
ject would today be begged with
water. 1t was undoubtedly the sal
vation of the project and there is
necessity for the completion of the
drain system to relieve sections that
did not come under the original sur
vey.
VIII Complete Work
1t is believed that the recent ap-
preparation will complete the work
of drainage on this project and make
available several thousand acres oil
land that otherwise will revert to the
government
Those who have benefited through
the original funds provided will un-
dcubtedly be asked to vote for the
new bonds and thus give to the

farmers who are in dire need OF
drainage that which is being enjoy
ed by those served. 1t is going to be
campaign on reciprocity, one where
equity in the project will be advanced
and all of the project will be served.
1t is known that several districts
over the project are in need of drain
age, and there Is not session of the
water board but that applications for
extension of the drains is urged by
land holders. 1t is to serve these
people with the same benefits that
are being enjoyed by others that the
appeal will be made.
So far there has developed no SER
ious opposition to the bond issue and
no individual has come forward and
opposed the plan for this expansion
which should complete the drain
work in districts that could not be
taken care of in the original bond
ISSUE
The work of the congressional
jority of the farmers and wator
users, and 1t is realized but for their
insistance on the restoration of the
fund on the general appropriation
bill that the project would not have
been granted the money.
This was in face of the report
made by Miles Cannon to the effect
that no further funds should be
granted without more investigation.
1t has required lot of good work
and the announcement that the funds
have been provided make it possible
for further expansion in several dis
tricts of the project.

PROFESSOR SCOTT HOLDS
POULTRY DEMONSTRATION

Professor V. E. Scott of the state
university spent the best part of last
week on this project where he gave
demonstrations of poultry grading,
better housing conditions and mar
ket selections. Many valuable sug-
gestions were made, and as this Sec
tion is fast coming to the front as
poultry district the advise and in
formation will be put to practical
use this year.
NEVADA BENEFITS
AS a result of cancellation Of
chicken shipments to quarantined
sections several thousand baby chicks
will reach this project at reduced
price. Arizona and Idaho still main
tain a quarantine against the ship
ment of chicks from California
points. Four thousand chicks are
billed for this section as a result Of
one cancellation on the part of Idaho.

To PLANT SCHOOL PLOT

Through arrangement with the
school board the experimental farm
will take over part of the acreage of
the high school The idea being to
make it a show place instead of a
generous weed growing annex.
Several varieties of corn and some
ground being given to pasturage will
be planted this season. 1t is a good
move on the part of the school board
and the experimental farm manage
ment.

WATER LAW UPHELD

The state supreme court handed
down decision late Wednesday af-

law constitutional in all respects. The
opinion is given out because of a

rights along that stream.

1t is reported that many water
users are falling to register for the
coming election of members of the
board of directors of the Truekee-
Carson irrigation district under the
impression that Il they are regis
tered for ordinary election another
registration is unnecessary. This is
a mistake. Regardless of what other
registrations have been made it Is
necessary for water users to register

wise they will be unable to vote.
Advertisements of time and places
for registration appear in another
