RENO, Nev., April 25.—The latest and | uished gathering of officials | most complex irrigation project deter- from Washington and the State of Colo- | mined upon by the Government is in Ne- | vada and is known as the Truckee-Carson project. It has for its purpose the stor- and Truckee rivers. While no great engineer- ing work is involved, the presence of num- erous private irrigation companies adds materially to the difficulties to be encoun- tered. A series of reservoirs and dams is to be constructed and when completed an area of not less than 185116 acres of land, now arid, will be rendered suscept- ible to irrigation. Speaking of the prop- osition ¥, H. Newell, the hydrographer in | arge, says: “This is one of the most important of the_interstate irrigation schemes which have been under consideration. The con- struction of the work proposed will do much toward increasing area in Nevada and will greatly add to the population. The State has been held in the background for a number of years en’account of a lack of water supply and this is the first step toward sending it ahead in the agricultural rank.” S BTy OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST WASHINGTON, April 2.—Postoffices established: California — East Auburn, Placer County, Charles I.

Special Dispatch to The Call, WINNEMUCCA, Nev., April 25.—The Federal postal authorities are investigat- ing a crime committed in Moapa, Lincoln County. The postoffice at that place was fired by unknown persons and the post- master, L. J. Harris, who slept in the building, narrowly escaped with his life. As far as the officials have learned it was intended that HFrarris should perish in the ruins, The fire was of incendlary origin. The ex- terior of the structure had been wet with oll, the greater—quantity having been placed about the door, so that escape would be almost impossible. When the match was applied the building took fire instantly and in a moment was a mass of flames. When the postmaster awoke the rcom was full of smoke. Half suf- fccated, he groped about to -Teach the street. Finally, with the clothes burned from his body, his head and hands hor- ribly scorched, he passed beyond the reach of the flames and was carried to a nearby hotel. On the afternoon preceding the fire a stranger appesred at the postoffice and registered &fx letters. This was an un- veual occurrence in the small town and attracted attentlon. The mail had left before the stranger’s arrival and would not be taken from the office again for two days. The letters were destroyed in tke fire. A jug in which the oil was car- ried has been recovered and has been identified as the property of the person who registered the letters.
