Acting Secretary of the Interior Pierce has granted an 

 extension of five years for the completion of the Dearborn 

 irrigation project. 



Trios. L. Shaw, a farmer residing in the Ruby Valley 

 near Laurin, has filed_ a suit in the district court against 

 Francis Redfern, a neighboring farmer, in which he alleges 

 that Redfern refused to allow him to use water with which 

 to irrigate his crops from a ditch owned jointly by them 

 and others. A temporary injunction restraining Redfern 

 from interfering with Shaw irrigating his crops was ren- 

 dered. 



It is rumored that a large irrigation project to reclaim 

 14,000 acres of land lying north and east of Franklin will 

 be commenced in the near future. The reservoir site is 

 located a short distance east of Franklin, about eight miles 

 east of Hedgesville. Water will be supplied from the flood 

 waters of the Snowy mountains. Feeders to the reservoir 

 are projected out of Careless, Alkali, Swimming Woman and 

 Willow creeks. The only doubt concerning the project is 

 whether or not the reservoir will be large enough to hold 

 the amount of water desired. Should this project be under- 

 taken it will mean the construction of a dam 300 feet long 

 and 40 feet high. It is estimated that the project will cost 

 $300,000. 



The farmers in the vicinity of Dillon are planning to 

 form an irrigation district for the purpose of having the 

 reservoir owned by the Red Rock Reservoir and Irrigation 

 Company pass into the hands of the ranchers. Mr. George 

 R. Featherly, who is taking a leading part in the movement, 

 is authority for the statement that the proposition is meet- 

 ing with favor among the farmers and that all the large 

 water users are in favor of forming an irrigation district and 

 taking over the reservoir in case the present owners will 

 accept a reasonable price for it.
