NOTICE OF APPROPRIATION OF

FOR SURVEYS IN SAND HOLLOW
PROJECT RECEIVED
Piollmlnary to resuming active work
on tho Tulo Lake reclamation project,
whereby the lako Is to bo drained
through un underground channel, a
party of surveyors went to the lake
today, and active work Is expected to
bo started Monday. An appropriation
of $G,000 has boon approved by the
reclamation service, and while small.
ct It will enable tho work, to be con
tinued. Notice has also been reserved
by Manager Camp that fl.BOO haa been
appropriated for surveys and estimates
In tho Sand Hollow project.
This in considered good news, and is
believed to bo the forerunner of a
larger appropriation by the next ses
sion of congress for the continuation
nnd completion of the project located
north of Malln.
Owing to a report that the land un
der tho Horsefly district would not
pay for tho Irrigation construction,
this project Is not being considered at
the present time, according to ad
vices. Work on the making of the sur
veys and estimates will start Monday.
A crew of men la also expected to
start work at Tule Lake Monday In an
effort to locate an underground outlet
for the reclamation of thousands of
acres of tule land now under water.
Tho former opening ia found abort
water, It having receded, and an at
tempt will be made to find another
strata in the bed of the lake that can
be bored to without too much expense
for the dralniag ef the lake.

Tho career of Senator Weeks has
