The initial irrigation system j will be used to distribute water j over alxnit .rj0,0fX) acres (A land. ' During the next two years the . I system will be extended to cover l-r,(),(X)0 acrca more. This will in crease the total distributing system to a length ot 1200 miles. Ar rangements are now being made to construct a regulating dam at the mouth of Lake Tahoe. As a larger area of land is brought under irrigation and the demand for water increases, five or six Truckee River and its tributaries will be con structed, and four reservoirs .will be built on the Carson River. One of the reservoirs will be 18 miles in length and will have a surface area of 11,000 acres. l tie entire irrigation system a" projected will not be completed for nine or ten years, and will cost about $9,000,000. After the initial work is finished and the first section of land is placed under irrigation, the balance of the pro jct will be carried out with the I proceeds ot the sale oi Government land adjacent to the ditches and the sale of water to the settlers who are expected to take up the land. The method of obtaining the Government land in the newly ir rigated area will he simple. The charge has been fixed hv the Secretary of the Interior at maximum of $26 an acre This sum will not represent the pur chase price to the land, but a per-; petual title to the water. The j land itself will be homestead. Ap- j plications for the land are uow being made to the Ladd Office in Carson City. The water right of $26 an acre will be payable in ten equal installments, and title will not lapse until two payments have been passed, which will give the homesteader the opportunity of passing over a Hard year. 1 tie Government will charee no in terest on deferred payments, but will probably offer an incentive for prompt settlements. The charge of $26 an acre is set to cover all cost of constructing the irrigation system and maintain it lor a period ot years. it it is found that the charge was set too high, the last payments will not be required. In any event there will be no additional charge. Old Scout, the automobile which by this time has completed iis :;00 mile journey from New York City to Portland, arrived in Prine ville Sunday afternoon, mud si l it tered, battered, worn, patched and wired together, but still capable of continuing on its race to the ex position city. '"We've lost every thing but the front wheels and our ii'-rve," said ('haft'eur Huss .while busily engaged in tightening up a lew loose holts. Oid Sciut covered 110 miles Saturday and spent Saturday night at a point 15 miles east of Paulina, about midway between the latter place and Suplee. The listance froru there to this city, 05 miles, was covered hy 3 o'clock. Good roads were found all the way over from Burns. Night runs were dispensed with some time ago as the head light on the ma chine was lost while traveling through sage brush that complete ly covered the auto and stood con siderably higher than the machine itself. After an hour's rest in the city the machine with its two oc cupants left for Forest where they rpent the night and proceeded on their way Monday morning. A delegation of auto enthusiasts left Portland aliout the same time and will meet Old Scout at the summit of the Cascades and escort it into Portland. Chaffeur IIuss will win the $ lOOt) prize which is waiting the machine to arrive in Portland, and the driver of Old Steady, which will reach Portland a week later will have to be content with the machine alone, what there is left of it. organized and equipped and is locatad that side of Tipton. About fifty teams are here at work and are scattered along for about ft mile. This is the most difficult part of the road to be built this season and for this reason all of the construction force is concen trated at this place. Preparations have been inaugu rated for the location of a second camp which will he established about half way between Austin'a and Tipton and in a few weeks more it will be hurrah all up and down the line. Officials have stated that it is their intention to construct at least 10 miles of road this season, and the contracts that haue been et call for the completion of this work by September 1. This will not, however he the end of the year's work but will continue on ate into the fall or until the early winter snows demand a cession from labor and it is believed by that time Prairie City will be with in a few miles of railroan trans portation.
