III there Is one thing commercial
Traveller dislikes more than another. it
i, elaborate ceremony; and If the spirit
OF hi- profession is in him, he generally
finds some way TO let his prejudice be
known. One evening travelling sales
man from Cincinnati happened to sit
down at a hotel table in company with
half a dozen entucky Legislators, who
talked with excessive formality. Ii
was "Will the gentleman from Hardin
do this?" and 'does he gentleman from
Franklyn want that?" the ordinary
form of direct address being carefully

commercial traveller suffered in total
silence. Then he turned to the waiter

leakage and evaporation on the
way down from Chambers Lake.
The using of the natural bed of
stream for the conducting of water
for irrigation, as just described, is
permitted by State law.
The manipulation of the water
stored in the plains reservoir of
this company affords another in
stance of ingenuity. These reser-
voirs consist of a chain of six
artificial lakes some seven or eight
miles eastward from the company's
main head gate. The lakes were
formed from natural depressions
in the land, diked up, and are filled
annually through the company's
main ditch. But they are SO situ-
ated that they cannot be drained
into the main ditch and the water
carried forward to the land desired
to be irrigated, nor can they be
drained by independent outlets
that can be made to reach such
land. So the water can only be
utilized by means of an exchange
with older bitches that lie at a
lower level than the reservoirs.
The total capacity of these reser-
voirs is in the neighborhood of
600, 900, 900 cubic feet of water, SO
it can be seen that the utilization
of the water thus stored is a matter
of no small importance. The reser-
voirs are all connected by canals,
and can all be drained, one into
another, until the last one is reach
ed The exchange of water is
made both with other bitches di-
rect and with the river below. An
exchange is frequently made with
the Larimer and Weld ditch, the
dischargeway of the reservoirs
crossing the ditch in a fume at
right-angles, and through the bot
tom of this fume the water is
dropped into the ditch below.
When it is not convenient for the
Larimer and Weld to take this
water, it is carried on into the river,
being measured near the discharge
way of the lakes by a weir, and
the owners of the reservoir per-
mitted to take an equal amount of
water from the river above, at
their head gate. There is nothing
compulsory about this exchange,
but it is made by mutual agree
ment among the ditch companies.

Wbat Irrigation bas Done
for Colorado.

water measurement and manipula-
ton in Colorado are taken from an
illustrated article in the last num-
Der of the Scientific 4mertoan writ
ten by II. A. Crafts:
Colorado cultivates more than
2 2,ooo, 900 acres of land, fact made
possible by irrigation alone. The
State is divided into eight water
districts, and each of there districts
is subdivided into what are known
as commissioner districts. There
is State Superintendent of ir-
rigation; but really above him in
authority is the State Engineer.
Over each commissioner district
presides water commissioner,
who is appointed by the Governor
of the State upon recommendation
of a majority of the county COM
missicners of the counties through
which the district extends.
1t is the duty of a water COM
missioner to see that the water ap-
propriated for irrigation in his dis
trict is distributed according to the
legal rights of the owners OF the
dltches within his district. These
rights have been established by
DEGREES of the District Courts of
the State, and the DEGREES are
printed in pamphlet form for the
guidance of water commissioners
and others in interest. The rights
of an irrigating ditch to water from
a natural stream, with relation to
the rights of competing bitches, is
based upon the priority of appro-
priation. Appropriation dates
from the completion of ditch and
the taking of water through it for
irrigation.
The commissioners district, COW
ering the Cache la Poudre Valley,
includes a cultivated area of about
$50, 900 acres and ia bitches pri
critics. The aggregate appropria-
tion of all of the bitches is 2,4oo
cubic feet of water per second. The
flow of the river is about
1000 cubic feet per second. In
1884, a year of high water, it dis
charged for a period of twenty
consecutive days 5000 cubic feet
of water per second; and for a per
iod of fifty-five consecutive days
1000 cubic feet of water The river
is rated at a weir constructed for
the purpose, just inside of the
UlOuiu vi lHS NdIi oh.
From these ratings the water
commissioner devised a scheme
which has proven quite satisfac-
tory. As it happens, two of the
largest bitches in the district are
of the latest construCtion-the
Larimer and Weld, with an appro-
priation of 72o cubic feet per sec
ond, and the Larimer county, with
an appropriation of about 600 cubic
feet per second. The head gates
of both are within FIVE miles of
the rating weir, and within four
miles of each othe In the bed of
the river, near each of these head
gates, was set pole marked off in
inches, and by using the ratings
made at the measuring weir as a
basis, formula was established
whereby the amount of water be-
ing discharged by the river at any
given time could be determined by
glance at one of these stakes.
The Larimer and Weld being SEN
ior to the Larimer county, and its
head gate lower down the river,
the stake located at that point is
used for observation in the first
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1900-08-25


and Weld until its appropriation
of 72o cubic feet per second is fill
ed, and then if there still exists
surplus that surplus is given to the
Larimer county ditch up to its full
appropriation. Above the Larimer
county is still the North Poudre
Canal, which is the junior of all OF
the large bitches on the stream,
and which comes in for supply
when all the others have been
given their appropriation. AS the
appropriations of the three bitches
named aggregate an amount about
equal to half of the appropriations
of all, the problem of distribution
can, for the greater part of the
time, be solved by cutting the total
discharge about in half. So long
as there is sufficient water passing
the head gate of the Larimer and
Weld ditch to satisfy the appro-
priations of the senior bitches, the
commissioner does not worry HIM
self about them; each ditch gets
its full appropriation, and that is
the end of it. Occasionally there
is complaint that some ditch is
taking more than belongs to it, in
which case the commissioner has
to make an investigation and cor
rect the abuse, if there is one. But
should the water fall below the
point mentioned, then he must call
down the Junior bitches in their
order, until the senior bitches have
their full rights.
The larger ditch companies run
their bitches in sections, having a
ditch rider for each section. The
water of the river is distributed
twice day during the irrigation
season-morning and evening.
This keeps the Superintendent
informed of the amount of water
their respective bitches are entitled
to. Upon this information the
Superintendent predicates his
orders to his subordinates, who are
thereby governed in their distrib-
ution of water to consumers. The
water is kept running in the ditch
es, night and day, all through the
irrigating season. During the day
time the farmers and their hands
distribute the water over their
land. At night, the hours of which
are made very short by the irri-
gator, and on moonlight nights
some farmers remain out irrigating
all night, the water is turned upon
some level portion of the farm,
where it will cover the ground of
its own volition. In times of low
water it is not uncommon for two
large bitches to work on the ex-
change plan-that is, one ditch for
a certain number of days will take
all the water that the two are en-
titled to, and then give the other
its turn under like arrangement.
1t has been found that water will
go much further under this plan.
The storing and distributing of
water for irrigation involved many
interesting features. Take the
Chambers Lake reservoir of the
Water Supply and Storage Com
pany, as one, for instance. 1t is
situated high in the Rocky Mount
ain range, at least fifty miles from
the head gate OF the company's
main ditch, but tributary to the
Cache la Poudre River. When the
water stored up in it is needed for
use at any time, it is measured in
to the main current of the river
and permitted to run its course.
