Of opposition to Judge Russell some
four or five weeks ago, but our on
| ly interest was to discover what the
opposition wanted and whether or
not the Russell contingent could be
worked. 1t bobbed up that Reese
McCloskey wanted the senatorship
and that Charley johnson was
throwing encouragement bouquets
at himself. Both started out against
Judge Russell and both, if the state
ticket is in evidence succeeded in
working somebody, if not the judge.
his supporters, as men whose names
were handed in by Weaver and
others did not appear on the printed
ticket and at the same time no fight
was made on the defeated ones for
or against election. This county
and all other counties, with possible
exception OF San Juan county, is
for Judge Russell and not scatter
ing vote will be cast against him,
hence his friends want to drop all
alliances and combines. There is
no necessity for them.

The splendid work which Elwood
Mead of the Department OF Agricul-
ture and his assistants, are doing
throughout the West along irriga-
tion lines, is becoming we'll known.
As State engineer Of Wyoming Mr..
Mead achieved for his State such an
enviable reputation throughout the
irrigated region that his broader
work Of investigation under the gen
eral government is meeting with
much favor and is being Watched
with deep interest. His first an
nual report on Irrigation Investi-
CATION" is just issuing and will be
found of great value to the West.
1t deals with the methods in use
in the arid States in the distribution
and use of water in irrigation, and
gives a large number Of measure
inents made to determine the duty
OF water; the losses from seepage
and evaporation in canals; and des-
cribes the methods by which the
water supply may be more effective
ly and economically applied to
crops. 1t contains papers discuss
ing the results Of the years investi-
cations, by Elwood Mead, Expert
in charge, Clarence 7. Johnston,
Assistant, and reports and discus.
sions by special agents Thomas
Berry, Colorado; w. NJ. Reed, New

Irving, California; r. c. Gemmell
and George l.. Swendsen, Utah; d.

braska. 1t is illustrated by views,
diagrams and maps showing the To-
cation and character Of the investi.
CATIONS made.
The investigations, says Mr..
Mead, deal with problems which
sorely perplex the irrigators and
canal builders of the arid West.
Their comprehensive study is new
feature of National aid to irrigation
development in this country. Here.
tofore the leading object Of such mid
has been to promote the construc.
ton OF new canals, to show how
much land there was above existing
bitches which could be reclaimed,
and the benefits which would come
from such reclamation. II is be.
