The main canal runs from Ier-
by, 15 miles east of Heno, on the
ITruckee Itiver, to a point ten
miles alxive Iyeville,, on the Car
lson Hiver, a distance of .'1 miles.
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
