MAINE TROUTING.
Frosty Weather Results in Fine Sport
 With the Fly.

With the Fly.
 Lawyer Calklns of East Lyme, whc l mas been up to the Rangleys, say the 1 Hartford Times, writes an interesting 1 letter regarding the fine September
 nshing. However, the weather is rath-
 CT toe cold to be pleasant, but on the
 other hand he escapes the black1y tor
 ment of the June fishing. In letter
 to a friend MT. Calkins writes:
 have had some great fly-flshing here
 the best any one has had this year
 put nave not yet caught or struck
 anything oyer three pounds Have
 Killed l should say, twenty over two pounds all with the fly. The first two
 days it was awfully cold, and the wind
 blew four gales all the time. The high est the thermometer got was 34, and it went down last Friday morning to 21. l was very fortunate to secure the whole of new cabin to myself. The frst two days I sat by a roaring fire, open lire place, and waited for the wind to go down. Friday afternoon, just to Kill time, l went down to the dock and hy-fished. To my great surprise I caught i'll all eleven trout, nearly all over one pound There hadn't been one caught there this year. The lake is the lowest it has been for forty years. This entirely changes the ap- pearance of everything. New islands, old stumps, big rocks, and snags abound. Yesterday morning early my guide took me over to Richardson's ponds. Two little ponds, each about half as large as the factory pond, but the prettiest little pieces of water I nave ever seen Each nestled at the foot of big mountain, the sholes over- hung by ancient pine and spruce trees. No drift wood on the shores, here and there pebbly beach, just the ideal ponds, the very ones l have dream ed of, As it was then about 10, we did not expect to catch very much, and didn't l think only six, all of which we returned to the water, At noon we went ashore, broiled our steaks toast ed bread, and smoked the cigars of peace. Tt isn't all of fishing to fish," and so l lay on my back under the big pines, looking up at their tops, over 100 feet in the air, listened 10 the wind signing through them, to looms wild laughter, to a Canada jays call, and wished I was an Indian and could stay right there forever.
 About 3 o'clock we began to fly fish | again. Right at the foot of the noun | tain, just where the shadows were al- | 'eady creeping out from the shore and | lust where the sunlight kissed the shadows on the water, was just where | he trout were lying waiting for Mills . 4 per dozen silver doctor. I lost count | of the number I caught (we only kept | our of about three pounds each), but ime after time I filled the cast With rout from one pound to two and one laf pounds Nearly all of them would weigh one pound, perhaps would aver ge one and one-quarter pounds, and very one of them as full of fight as ur own brook trout, so entirely diff erent from the fish in the lake. 1 would fish till my arm ached, would est and fish again l thought of you shing at home and wished so much ou could be with me. It was the best rout fishing I have ever had and the est the guide has ever seen.

IN ARID COLORADO.
Irrigation Has Changed the Desert
Into a Garden.
But the Profit II Renped by Water
Monopoiics whose Proprietors
Grow Fat ON the Sweat Of
the TOiiers.
Especial Denver Col, letter.

A great change is taking place in
Colorado. Many eastern people are
under the mistaken impression that
the mining industry is the princi-
pal source of its prosperity. but
the stock and farming industries are
much more profitable. Certainly they
are more lasting. The profits of agri-
culture and stock raising during the
present year are estimated at $780,
Do0. 900. This rapid increase is mainly
owing to the numerous irrigation en-
terprises, especially in southern Colo
rado-the arid district. There are in
Colorado about 5000, 900 acres of land
susceptible of irrigation, and practical
~ valueless without water. About half
of this area is now under irrigation
and cultivation. To water this desert
region there have been constructed
within the past few years 10000 miles
OF irrlgating canals. The capital ex-
pended is estimated at 5000, 900, not
including the purchase of the arid
lands. These %irrigating canals extend
southwark from Denver to Pueblo,
Canon City, Trinidad, Durango, De
Beque, and throughout the Grand, San
Luis and Arkansas valleys, tapping the
mountain streams for hundreds of
miles.
From these large canals small ca
mails are run in various directions. car

rying water to farmers throughout
the districts, thus sridironing the val
ieNs with artificial streams and, to
some extent, modifying the dry, heat
ed atmosphere.
These canals are 10 or 12 feet deem
and about 20 feet wide at the bottom.
Sioping outward at the top. The bot
tom and sides are, of course, cement
ed water tight" The larger ones
have a capacity of irrigating about 50,-
900 acres of land.
In constructing these immense ca
mails the builders have adopted the pre-
historic grades and followed the lines
of the ruined and forgotten primitive
irriglting bitches of the aboriginal
tribes who inhabited this country ages
ago. The modern engineer finds that
he cannot improve upon these scientific
channels. Here are the ruins of ancient
reservoirs, into which were led the
fertilizing streams from the noun
tains and the rivers to nourish their
growing crops.
In this arid section it requires about
IS inches of water yearly to grow
crops. This water is distributed in
six irrigations. of about three inches
each, at stated intervals. There is
much dissatisfaction among the farm
ers at the appropriation of these nat
ural streams by the water syndicates.
Stock raisers must also pay Il royalty

for water. as the streams are fenced
with barbed wire, or guarded. The
few sluggish streams on the desert
o o run dry. or sink into the sands,
and during the heated term, when no
rains fall in this arid region, thousands
of dead cattle are seen on the plains
persisted for tie lack of water which
is taken from them by the big compa-
MES. The loss in cattle and sheep by
the appropriation of these streams is
immense.
Water can only be had by purchasing
stock in the company, and upon the
face of each certificate is "a description
of the land to which the water is to be
applied. Based upon this certificate
the company issues to the farmer a
water deed. or check. for the quantity
he is entitled to. The holder is entitled
to a voice in the management Of the
company. When he sells his land the
water stock goes with it. The water
is the most valuable part Of the farm.
This important fact is usually over
looked by the eastern purchaser, until
II 10 toe late. He should first endeavor
to get land near an unappropriated
stream--if he can find any In southern
Colorado; otherwise he will land with

find himself making yearly payments

1t is held that the federal government
should protect the water supply, both
in the interests of public and private
lands. The settlers hold that the water
naturally belongs to the lands-it is
, part of the land, and cannot be segre-
gated.
This comes down from the aborigines,
n claimed that water was commuu-
lty property. 1t belonged to all-no
one could take that which belonged to
others, but each person was entitled
to as much as he could use. For this he
gave his share of labor in constructing
bitches, etc. They held that the water,
like the air, was free to all, the man and
the beast, and no one individual had a
right to take unto himself that which
belonged to all. Under the laws of
Colorado this orient law is reversed. A
person may appropriate" stream and
no one may take water Jul of it with
out first paying him. He owns the wa
ter by prior discovery" or location.
and his n%eighbors above and below
him must pay him a royalty. Under
the aboriginal custom, and the Spanish
law, the water is a part of the lard, and
the purchase of the land carries the wa
ter with it.
This is what is called riparian
rights and was also embodied in the
old Roman law. 1t is row construed
otherwise, against the interests of the
government and the general public.
Who shall W the streams must soon
become a national issue, as millions of
acres of land are forever worthless.
Shall a few corporations own these
streams land practically the land) or
the people to whom they naturally be-
long?
Irrigation is comparatively new in
Colorado. These large enterprises have
into existence within the last
ten years, since the tide of imInigra-
ton has begun to flow in and created
a great demand for lands-especially
public lands.
Much of this arid region is being
planted to sugar beets. 1t is well adapt
ed to their culture and it is predicted
that the desert regions of the United
will eventually become the main
source of the sugar supply of this coun-
try. The beets raised here contain
from 200 to 300 pounds of sugar to the
ton, a larger per cent. than the beets
grown in less warmer sections. The
