WHAT IRRIGATION WILL DO.
GREAT RESULTS ANTICIPATED IN THE
NEXT DECADE THROUGH THE WEST
ERN STATES

1t is my opinion that irrigation will
be the means of doubling the popula-
tion of every state and territory with
in the coming ten years. | further
believe that in the last, where the
rainfall is. heavy but uncer tain, irriga-
ION will ultimately be r,sorted to in
rd"r to insure greater regularity of
rcps. -Four tenths Of the area of the
United States, not including Alaska,
require irrigation. This territory in
clujc' parts of California, T, xas, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, all of
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wy yom
ing Montana and portions of Dakota
and Washington.
Through this vast territory there
flow a number of streams with narrow
valleys capable of cultivation. In
these valleys settlers have taken up
their abode, --cities have been built
aud now the cry is for more room.
The room is there, and the only thing
needed to make the broad sunburned
plan- vie with valleys is irrigation.
The SCI timent in favor of this method
of reclaiming lands ia growing strong,
aud predict that ten years will wit
ness revo,ution.-Gen. John IL.

STORM ECHOES.
Terrific Weather All Over the Country
Latest from the Texas Panhandle.

TRINIDAD, Nov. IA special from
Clayton says: Sheep herds are COM
pletely wiped out, and the range for thir-
ty miles from town is covered with their
dead carcasses. 1t is estimated that
10000 sheep perished in this part OF the
country. The hotels in the town are full
to overfowing from men coming in out
of tho storm, and the livery stables are
crowded. The wool house belonging to
the railroad company has been turned
into shelter for horses, many Of which
were so weak that they were lifted in by
hand.
Hay is nearly exhausted, and to-day
800 ton was offered, which was re-
fused by stockmen having COW horses
here.
At Texline, nine miles below Clayton,
two passenger trains are blocked, and
supplies are being sent from here to
them. Snow plows are beginning to
run, and it is hoped that communication
with the outside world may be opened
soon.
The depth OF snow here can not be
correctly estimated. A snow plow pushed
by four engines was stopped by drifts two
miles south of Clayton, and only after
eight hours OF shoveling was It released.
The trainmen report much difficulty ex-
perienced in the different cuts, which in
some places are completely filled with
dead cattle and sheep. The loss to both is
! tremendous.
| Old COW men say that with the present
depth OF snow stock will be unable to live
for any length of time, and unless the colo
weather moderates and the crust which
has formed on the snow loosens, mortality
among cattle will be tremendous.
Among stockmen who lose heavily art

SAN FRANCIsco, Nov. 11.-Lovers of
the turf were given an exhibition at the
Bay district track, Saturday afternoon,
such as has never before been seen on
the Pacific coast. The great event of the
day was the performance OF Senator
Stanford's filly Sunol, who made the re-
markable time of 2:l0ia, lowering the
3 year old record of 2;l2 recently
made by Axtell. During the last few
weeks horsemen here have been greatly
interested in the approaching test Of
Sunol's capabilities, and when the tilly
was brought on the track this afternoon
there was q fair crowd present to witness
her performance.
She was accompanied by Il runner dur
ing the trial A start was made with the
latter about furlong behind. Sunol
reached the quarter in 80 seconds. She
went to the half in :O5, and then it
seemed certain that barring u break she
would succeed in lowering the record.
Her time to the three quarters was :37l4.
The runner pressed her closely down the
stretch, and Marvin, her driver, applied
the whip, but the colt did not make the
slightest skip and passed under the wire
in 2:10lI.
When the time WAS ANNOUNCED there
was wild cheering among the spectators,
and the enthusiasm continued several
minutes.
