when Salt Lake City was the only settle
ment between the Missouri and California
Its crystal streams and fruitful gardens made
1t seem paradise to those who had toiled
| across !, 100 miles of arid plains and noun
talns; but now settlements are numerous al
most all the way, and Colorado has vastly
outdone Utah in irrigation works. 1t Is es-
tirnated that by their present system 3,OOO,-
600 acres in Colorado can be irrigated, but
not more than 500, 900 acres are yetreclaimed,
while canals in course Of construction will
reach all the rest The San Luis park canal
waters, or is capable of watering. 400, 900
acres: the State Land canal, lac, 600 acres;
the Citizens canal, loo, 900 acres, and the Del
Ncrte and Saguache canal about $50 900
acres: and three of these get clearwater 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. 1t is claimed that
with their extensive system the cost does not
exceed 50 per acre, and is often as low as
sixty cents per acre yearly, and that the crops
average twice as great as in country where
rain is relied on. Forty bushels of wheat, 500
of potatoes, fifty of oats, two tons Of wild
hay and four tons of alfalfa are spoken Of as
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
1000 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 a
great many pulling questions arose as to the
ownership of running water, and now the
courts and legislators are fast building up a
body Of common law on the subject.

Of the Reclaimed land is put at $40 per acre,
while IN its former state, used only for pas
ture, it was worth but 81 There is always
something startling about California figures,
and when you read that the late Charles
Croker and his partner expended s., SOC, 600
on one series of DAMS bitches and storage
reservoirs, it is to be regarded as only a
commonplace ''private enterprise" for that
state. But there, as elsewhere, the COM
munity will find way to compel united
action and tho ownership Of all irrigation
works h2. the state.
AS a summary CT the reports thus far filed,
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 So,
900 square miles to the nations farming land
and some billions in dollar values to the ma
tional wealth.

basis OF all work in Utah, and as the church

will in a few years be shut off and soaked up

President Grant was earnestly besought to
begin his administration with request Of
congress to enter on the preliminary work
for a comprehensive system of irrigation;
but he unfortunately went little too far
and recommended plan which elected
feeble smile from far western men. There
was enough good land still in the rainy
regions, and so the matter rested near nine
teen years, when the congressman of the far
west combined and secured an appropriation
late in September, 1SSS-$l00,0 900 to pay for
surveying and locating storage reservoirs at
the head waters of streams west of the Tooth
meridian" for the purposes of irrigation. 1t
was a trif1e, but it committed the government
to the policy, and Maj. Powell director of
the geological survey, soon entered on the
work
He now estimates the arid area at ], 400. 600
square miles or four-tenths of the United
States, excluding Alaska. OF this area he
regards one-ffth as too rocky and rugged for
cultivation, but nearly all other observers
make the rugged area much larger including
in it. of course, those mountain top plateaus
which are too elevated to produce grain. His
estimate of 100000 square miles of land
needing only water to make it productive"
Is nearer the fact, but probably still too
large In 1850 less than per cent. OF this
vast area had been redeemed, and with the
most expensive and elaborate works not more
than 20 per cent. can ever be redeemed by
any process now known to man, says Direc-
tor Powell Nevertheless, if but Is per cent
be redeemed, or 150, 900 square miles. this in
creases the cultivated lands of the United
States by nearly one-half and at $50 per
acre adds $3.50 0C0, 600 to the national
wealth
Meanwhile the committee presided over by
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has completed
a two months tour, travelling some 14,0OO
miles, examining witnesses and viewing the
sites for proposed canals and storage reser-
voirs and p 500 square miles of alleged lrriga-
bic land have been carefully surveyed by the
engineers and the line Of proposed canals plot

come matter of increasing governmental con-

his administration was ''clean and able" dis
playing great executive abilities. In 1888 he
was reelected, and gained such reputation as
the young civil service reform mayor" that
his enthusiastic friends confidently predicted
that he would soon be governor of the state
and formidable candidate for the Republi-
can presidential nomination as soon as he
reached the legal age.
In 1884, however, there were complica-
tions. Brooklyn's young Republicans were
not enthusiastic in support of the presiden
tial candidate and Mr.. Lows party stand
ing was somewhat impaired. He declined
further political honors, Travelled abroad
some time and in 1888 succeeded in getting
completely outside of politics. Through all
this, though, there was some harsh criticism;
there was no imputation on his candor
During all the years since his graduation
Mr. Low has maintained lively interest in
the affairs of Columbia college. In 1881 he
was chosen one of its trustees, and it was
soon admitted that he was an authority on
all matters connected with its business and
financial management. In April last Presi-
dent f. A P. Barnard died and on the open
ing of the new college year Mr.. Low was
chosen to succeed him.
The appointment gives universal satisfac-
ton to officials, professors, students and
alumni Among the trustees are Hamilton
Fish, Rt. Rev Henry C. Potter, Rev. Nor
gan Dix, DR.. George L. Peabody and others
of national fame. Columbia is the old and
original college of New York, the alma mater
of Alexander Hamilton and others of Revo-
lutionary fame, and down to the days of
Hamilton it was called Kings college Its
president at that time and some of its officials
got ION the wrong side" Of the great contro-
versy, and so the name was changed, any
thing labeled Kings being unpopular

President.

Hon. Seth Low, Columbia Colleges New
President.
Columbia college, the far famed New York
city university, enters on its 136th year with
the Hon. Seth Low for president. After
being twice mayor of Brooklyn and pro-
spective candidate for governor, he takes in
stead the presidency of great college, for
which he is peculiarly well fitted With
youth, health and an established reputation
for good works, it may be his good fortune
to rule the college for a very long period and
impress his individuality strongly upon the
intellect of the country.
Seth Low was born in the city of Brooklyn,
Jan IS, 1850, his father, Abel A. Low, be-
ing a prominent merchant in Burling slip.
He first took an educational course at the
Brooklyn Polytechnic institute and then en-
tered Columbia college, from which he was
graduated in 1870, standing at the head of his
class and dividing the second Greek prize of
the year. After extensive foreign travel he
went into business with his father, becoming
full partner in 1875 He was soon active in
politics and promoter of the various reform
movements of those years. While member
of the Chamber of Commerce he delivered
series of addresses on the trade of New York
and vicinity which attracted much attention
among commercial men all over the country.
In 1880 he took very prominent and active

and gaining a high
reputation as a II

being a Democratic
city, the chances for
a Republican were

mated for mayor as
a reform candidate,
and won by a hand
some majority. 1t
