The agricultural resources of the
6iIa valley are both varid and ex.
tcnsive, comprising an area OF
arabic land of which there is at
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which is
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat,
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de,
cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits.
This is the natural home of
alfalfa, of which from to 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 5
to 8 tons per acre. 1t is. not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolifcly, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than in the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill lands are
adapted to all of the products of
the temporal zone, and many Of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with a sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
appearance and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish.

tion of the valley, contains large

Farming lands can be purchased
at from $50 to 500 per acre, in
cluding Improvements and water

Uncultivated land without water
right is free to any settler under
the United States homestead law.
This class Of farms will eventually
become valuable when the canal
facilities have been increased.

An Underground Sea.

"Stories about great subterrancan
lake or sea beneath Nebraska, Kansas
and part of Indian territory are going
the rounds of the press" said Robert
T. Hill, of the United States geological
survey. They are accompanied by de-
tails relating to the bottomless ponds
occupying areas where patches of land
have sunk and disappeared other re-
ported phenomena supposed to be in
the same connection are roaring wells
in which water ebbs and flows.
Such tales become current period
ically. So far as the wells are concern
ed. they are based on fact. I myself
have seen a number of wells In which
the water rose and fell at intervals.
This is not an uncommon phenomenon
in parts of the west. 1t has a relation
to changes of the barometer. When
the barometer Is high, the pressure of
the atmosphere being greater, the wa
ter in such wells and springs stand at
a low level. On the other hand. when
the mercury In the glass is low, the
diminished pressure permits the water
to rise. The surface level varies from
day to night, for the same reason.
"There are many phenomena connect
ed with western wells and springs
which are calculated to excite the at
tention of the observer from the east.
They are puzzllng sometimes even to
a scientific student. / have never seen
a we'll that roared, but l know of no
reason why such a thing may not hap
pen. There are wells from which cur
rents of air come up. Stories are told
of magnetic wells, in the neighborhood
of which the needle of the compass is
affected / never saw one, and no facts
appear to support this peculiar yarn.
Water Is the most common substance
in the world, and there Is nothing about
which so much humbug exists.
'"rhe most remarkable well / have
ever seen was on the old battlefield of
Stone river, in Tennessee. A man dig
ging for water struck an underground
stream. He made the hole big enough
to hold water wheel The stream ran
the wheel and pumped water up to the
owners house. Underground streams,
of course, are common enough. They
are frequent in the limestone region of
Texas, in the gypsum region of New
Mexico, in the Appalachian region, and
in the limestone region of Iowa and
Missouri. The very fact that these
streams are flowing shows that they
are seeking q base level, and hence 1t
is useless to try to tap them by artesian
wells, because the water will not rise.
There is no such thing in the world
as an underground lake or sea- Never
theless, such lakes have been created
frequently by the imagination of hope
full settlers in the west. The truth in
this matter was established years ago
by the government engineers, who, un-
der the direction of Col. Nettleton,
journeyed across the great plains of
Kansas and Nebraska. They sounded
every we'll they could find, studying the
underground water. OF the fact that
there was no underground sheet of wa
ter they made certain The wells We're
like any other wells, the water coming
from saturated rocks below the level of
surface evaporation. ."-Pittsburg Com

Put to the Test.
An old hunter, who had lived many
years in the West and other regions
where hunting was part of a mans

ly to a Washington Star reporter, and
the conversation turned on dogs, after
1t had run to considerable length in
other directions.

the dog had the wolk agoin lickety

the dog chaw up the wolf, fer he prid-
ed himself on that dog and had been

Course Jim knowed dogs and he
knowed that dog of hls'n would chaw
the wolf up In no time, and he went
