The reservoirs of the state are
coming fast. Five years ago there
were scarcely any, but in the coming
spring, big aud small. they will be
numbered by the hundreds. The
reservoirs in 1890 will cover and ir-
rigate as much land as did all the
bitches in 1880. Then it was not
thought necessary to store water
now it is considered Indispensable
The first that attracts the attention
of the ditch corporation is an oppor-
tuHity to build reservoirs. The irri-
eating ditch of the period is cons,d-
cred but half complete that does not
have storage for water. There is an
insecurity in planting crops beneath
ditch that has not the ability to
tide over pinching time of drouth.
There is no safety without the reser-
voirs. They are being built every
where.
We are now told that the mann
moth reservoir of the state at the
present time is projected and soon
will be built in the South Park. 1t
will be intended to hold water
enough to fill the English or High
line ditch at its full capacity for
thirty days, and If used IN modera-
ton, tor sixty days. This say the
farmers who are dependant on the
Highllne, Twill completely insure a
supply of water through the entire
crop growing season."
The next largest reservoir we know
of is the one already built by r. G.
Henry on the line of his great hun
dred mile canal in the Arkansas val
ley. This water store place is a lit
tie above Lamar and is reported
when entirely filled to be capable of
holding water sufficient to lrrigate
ten thousand acres from the first of
July to the first of September, or
through the entire irrlgating season
for that matter.
Then again the reservoir now be-
ing constructed in the canon on the
upper Cherry creek, will, when filed,
water from ten to twenty thousand
acres along that fertile valley. Be.
sides these all over the state they are
being built. Nearly every farmer is
moving in that direction, and NOV.
ing vicieusly, and Colorado will soon
be land of lakes and ponds and
ripping waters.-Field and Farm.

We have never heard but one man
speak disparaglngly of irrigation who
had spent any considerable length of
time in a country where irrigation
was extensively practiced, and thst
was gentleman with whom we talk
ed, from southern California, where
he had passed 90. His objection
rather surprised us. 1t was, in effect,
that maleria had become very preva-
lent in the locality IN which he lived
from continued irrigation. Southern
California, being mainly only few
feet above sea level, might easily be
affected that way but we do not think
that the Arkansas valley IN eastern
Colorado 1000 feet above sea level,
ever be SO affected to any great ex-
tent, although it will doubtless in
time suffer more or less from maleria
caused by the evaporation of water
in the irrgating canals.-La Junta

vision committee OF the Presbyterian

D. c., February t. or the twenty-five

York, and Barker GUNNER. Esq, OF
Trenton, n. j., who were unable to at
tend on account Of sickness, were pres
ent. DR.. R. Booth, Of New York, and
Morris II. Stratton, of New Jersey, were
chosen in their places
The method OF the committee has
been to read over the entire confession,
chapter by chapter, marking for consid-
Grafton such sections or paragraphs as
were suggested by the presbyteries or
by the committee itself. These they
proceeded in order to consider and to
act Professionally upon changes proposed
whether by elimination, substitution or
addition.
The chief discussions Of the commit
tee were upon chapters s, 6, and III,
which were chiefly indicated in the ad-
dress to the presbyteries Many of the
questions were referred to committees
to report at the adjourned meeting in
Washington. Changes were made sub
ject to revision in chapter 8. sections 8,
4, 5 and z; in chapter 4, section 1; in
chapter 9, section 4; chapter z, sections
4, 5 and 8; chapter TO- sections and 8.
The discussions Of the committee
have been thoroughly harmonious and
the agreements reached thus far prac-
tically unanimous The committee have
been confirmed in the belief that re-
port will be finally adopted which will
receive the approval of the general as
sembly and be accepted by the presby-
teries.
During the interval from now until
the session at Washington the commit
teemen will carefully consider all the
changes made and will reach o final
conclusion A subcommittee will then
be appointed to draft q confession in
conformity with the general desire.
They will put 1t into clear, terse and
concise English and report to the whole
committee at its meeting just prior to
the meeting Of the general assembly.
The last meeting Of the committee will
be held in Buffalo or Cleveland
