there have been times when this had to 20 on
day and night. In Salt Lake City there is
usually such abundance Of water that it flows
down both sides of every street, lacing all the
squares with crystal borders, and this feature
it was which so charmed the early emigrants
to California and caused them to write those
glowing letters about the city's beauty. But
there have been seasons when all those bitches
were dry, as all the water was absorbed in the
gardens and orchards
When Salt Lake City was the only settle
ment between the Missouri and California
its crystal streams and fruitful gardens made
it seem a paradise to those who had toiled
across 100 miles of arid plains and noun
tains; but now settlements are numerous al
most all the way, and Colorado has vastly
outdone Utah in irrigation works. It is es-
timated that by their present system S,0O0,-
600 acres in Colorado can be irrigated, but
not more than SOC, 600 acres are yet treclaimed,
while canals in course Of construction will
reach all the rest. The San Luis park canal
waters, or is capable Of watering, 100000
acres; the State Land canal, 10000 acres;
the Citizens canal, 100, 600 acres, and the Del
Norte and Saguache canal about 1000
acres; and three of these get their water from
the Rio Grande.
In Colorado two irrigations in ordinary
seasons and three in dry are thought enough
for most crops, but roots of all kinds require
from three to ten times as much water as
things which grow above ground. OF course
experience has taught the Colorado farmer
many points which might be of no value else
where-such as to soak his land before plow-
ing or not as the indications may direct; to
seed at the proper time after soaking, and to
judge when and how much water is needed
by the growing grain. It is claimed that
with their extensive system the cost does not
exceed 81 per acre, and is often as low as
SIXTY cents per acre yearly, and that the crops
average twice as great as in a country where
rain is relied on. Forty bushels of wheat, 500
of potatoes, fifty Of oats, two tons of wild
common, but the official figures of the state
shrink these figures somewhat for the total
average. The hard wheat of Colorado is
noted, and Boulder -four already has world
wide reputation
A ditch ten feet wide and two or three
feet deep land it has proved best to have
them wide and shallow costs an average of
$1,000 a mile, and the first water companies
in Colorado realized "a per cent. on their in.
vestment, supplying water to cultivators at
SO much per duty" The investments in
that line soon increased, and many bitches in
Wyoming were constructed by Colorado cap
italists, but it is evidently only question of
time when all main bitches will be owned by
the state. 1t was not long, of course, till
great many puzzling questions arose as to the
ownership of running water and now the
courts and legislators are fast building up
body of common law on the subject.

As summary of the reports thus far fled,
and comparison with the great irrigating
works of other lands. it may with confidence
be affirmed that the United States has now
entered upon the work as part of its perma-
nent policy, that while the reclamation Of
waste lands will proceed slowly it will con-
tinue till vast work is done. That Ameri-
cans will improve upon all former methods
and that the result will be to add at least 50,-
