the other stories are:"A Thanksgiving
Guest" by Louis r. Baker; ICY and the
Bear" a humorous adventure, by John
F. Barnes; "Chssed by a shadow" by
Warren L. Watts. while whole page of
Thanksgiving Fun is given for the young
er readers.
If any one needs to be put in a proper
frame of mind for thoroughly enjoying

Another Letter on Irrigation.
Editors World:


hardly did me justice for one would
suppose that did not believe in an
underfow at all. After the troubl e
l took to plow out the valleys of
the Smoky, Big Greek and the Sa-
line and fill the troughs with gravel,
eroded. stone and shale, | thought
that part would be easily understood.
That there is a sufficient quantity of
water in the valleys for all purposes
cannot be doubted, but the means Of
utilizing it is beyond the reach of
small fry. A canal from fifty to
one hundred miles in length, fully
cemented, could alone elevate the
water sufficiently to cover any great
area. Experiment is not needed in
this particular field for that is no
longer an experiment. 1t is simply
a matter of estimating the cost Of
the canal and the returns it will
yield upon the capital invested.
Touching once more the subject
of the g water to be found in wells
along the divides" Iheld it to be an
accumulation, as in a reservoir, in
localities, and that it could be pump
ed out. Such reservoirs are not
uncommon, even in apparently solid
rock. There is an instance of one
struck in a mine(a Cornish mine |
believe) in which the engineer put
all the engines he was able to COM
mand at work, and pumped for
twelve years before it was lowered in
the least noticeable, but when it did
give out it was all at once. During
a succession Of rainy years the water
in these reservoirs is raised and
forces its way out, forming numer-
Gus springs, but series of dry
wears lowers them and | can show
you where more than twenty such
springs have already gone dry since
1888. Let US ask ourselves the
question: What would be the effect
were this water to be brought to the
surface and there evsporated? We
have 10 inches Of rainfall; would it
be increased, by the extra amount
evaporated? Not appreciably, for
obeying the general law of storms
in this latitude, the moisture thrown
into the atmosphere here during the
summer months would be precipita-
ted to the northeast, east and south
east Of the place where evaporated.
It's general tendency would be to
lessen the water supply, except to
the amount it cooled our own
atmosphere, causing other moisture
to be precipitated here. Let the
area so watered be extended until
all available be used to the south
and west of us, and we would, in
turn, receive a benefit in a modera-
lion of the siroccO winds.
But, inasmuch as the evaporation
exceeded the water supply from
year to year, it would be lessened,
unless a supply an be drawn from
other sources. How is this to be
done? First, by the final utiliza-
ton of the underhow along the
streams. Second, Artesian wells.
Third, conservation of the moisture
already at our command.
In nv next, [ wish to take up the
latter subjects but especially the
second as it seems to have been
passed over in the memorial to
congress. H. HARLAN.
