1t is proposed to do, the surveys have
already been made and the work will
probably be undertaken next summer.
ters Of the Grande has already been
done with the waters Of the Laramie
river, which have been taken across
the watershed of the Medicine Bow
range and turned into Chambers lake,
from which they pass down to the
arabic lands Of the Poudre valley. Thi.
enterprise Is In the same general dis
trict az the one now proposed. and
serves as a model. The head waters
Of that branch OF the Laramie which
have been diverted come very near
having their rise in a glacier. They
start In a canyon 80 deep. SO shaded,
and located at such an altitude. that
the SHOWS Of n winter are hardly
melted out before those Of another
come. From the ridges on both sides
the winds sweep the SHOWS into this
narrow gorge until they lie 200 feet
deep or more Solidifed by pressure
and partial thawing, the mass OF snow
becomes a mass Of Ice, and the sun has
an all summers work before him TO
convert that Ice mass into water.
Water from such a source Is particular
ly valuable because IT is what they call
Tate water" IL comes at a time Of the
year when many Of the Iowlands
streams are dry, and yet when water IL
still needed to mature the crops. A
flow OF n cubic foot per second
through the entire season is worth NOT
less than 1900. and az this branch of
the Laramie often runs $50 cubic feet
per second at the time when water IL
most In demand, II will be seen that
the flow was well worth capturing. To
abduct the Laramie at this point re-
auired a ditch five miles long, circling
about b two sides of the Medicine
Bow range. which IL crosses at altitude
OF $500. For three-ffths Of the dis
tance the side hill along which the
ditch was led vas so nearly vertical

Costly Voting for = Girl

Earl Bells admiration for a prett,

him 5 cents each time he voted. He
voted often. In spite Of all he could

Reports in regard TO winter wheat
are d-iscouraging. The continuous rains,
followed by high water in the streams.
have flooded the low lands In many
portions Of southern Illinois, SO that
what wheat was not winter killed has
been utterly ruined by water. Reports
from nearly half Of the counties in the
state, including almost all of the win
ter-wheat growing counties, are that
two-thirds Of the wheat seeded last fall
-1.74s,oo0 acres was winter killed or
destroyed by foods, and the condition
of the remaining third-5S9, 900 acres
is so poor that under the most fayora-
BILE conditions only one-third OF an ay-
erage crop may be expected. The ont
look is that little more than enough
wheat for seed will be harvested IN
Illinois this season, and the people will
have to depend on other states 70,
wheat for consumption, a condition
that has occurred but once in the azri.
cultural history of the state.
