FOR SOLDIERS
The Pioche Record
Has New Owner
As evidence that the national gov
rnment la preparing to reclaim all
the arid and other waste lands of
the United States In order to furnish
employment and to make permanent
homes for discharged soldiers and
sailors, the Record has received a
circular letter and booklet of Infor
mation from Secretary of the Interi
or Franklin K. Lane. The informa
tion contained In this little booklet
Is considered so valuable that it Is
here reprinted In full.
Mr. Lane Is a thorough western
man, having received his appoint
ment from the state of Washington,
where he waa an honored and pro
gressive citizen for a number of
years. He Is thoroughly conversant
with the value of arid lands when
they once receive a sufficient amount
of water. One of his greatest under
takings was the reclamation of the
higher lands In the Kittitas and Yak
lma valleys, in his home state, where
hundreds of thousands of acres are
nearly ready for reclamation by an
Immense dant at the headwaters of
the Yakima river, within three miles
of the summit of the Cascade moun
tains. Water from this system will
be carried a distance of 200 miles
and If the same results are realized
as from former smaller systems In
these districts the land will within
five years have Increased In value
from nothing to as high as f 1,000
and even $2,000 an acre.
The valleys of Lincoln county
await only the magic waters of the
mountains to make them blossom a
profusely as the soil of any state in
the Union. Some united effort
should - be put forth by the citizens
of this county, in conjunction with
the White Pine county reclamation
organization, to acquaint the govern
ment with the fact that It can have
the hearty cooperation of Nevada
