MORE RESERVOIR FILINGS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

(frOm IueSuayS Dllly.)
About sever hundred and fifty reser-
voir filings have been made at the local
land office up to the present time.
There is another delegation Of settlers
in the city today from the west of the
river, and all of them are entering on
land. An additional hundred filings
were docketed at the land office this
morning and the total number for the
day will probably be 125. These fig
ures show to some extent the advan-
tage that is being taken of the reser-
vOir law.
The average number Of filings made
by individuals is three or four, that is
to say. each individual files on an aver
age OF four quarter sections Of land.
One man neal Dickinson has filed on
sixteen separate quarter sections, and
two applicants at the land office yes
terday filed or ten quarter sections Of
land each, and then filed on ten more
jointly. AS the average number Of
acres taken up by each filing is 1GO.
the extent to which the government
domain is being taken up under this
law is realized.
The law is Il good thing for the land
office lawyers rs they receive fees
ranging from 50 to 81 Tor making the
papers in each filing. The land office
fees are - in each case.
The reservoir law provides for Il
declaratory statement by the applicant
of the land desired to be reserved, the
business of the applicant. the location
OF the reservoir, the proximity of
springs and sources of water supply.
and the amount of land owned by the
applicant in the vicinity of the reser-
vOir. The amount of land reserved
in any one section depends upon the
capacity of the reservoir to be con-
structed.
The officials of the local land office
must receive the declaratory state
ments rs provided by law, but it is also
provided that the commissioner of the
general land office may reject any APP
plication in which he is led to believe
that the applicant does not in good
faith intend to build reservoirs.
The applicant for reservoir sites
must complete the reservoir within
two years from the time of filing the
declaratory statement. and then have
the site surveyed and file a plat in the
land office, after which the land is re-
served from sale so long as the reser-
vOir is maintained and water kept
therein.

$3.50 for new bucks. The fourth year
would leave about $1,000 after deduct
ing rcn and $3.50 for new bucks; the
fifth year, $500; the sixth year, 81 800.
From the seventh year the income
would be over So, ZOO and gradually in
crease up to $4,000 or $1,000. according
to the care given to the management
Of the goats. or course the deductions
made of the total income include only
the rem and the most necessary addi-
tons to the number of bucks. and what
evcr Il party will have to deduct for
renewals, expenses and help he can
best judge for himself. Yet he should
after the second year have enough for
a comfortable living, and out Of the
revenue of the fourth year enough
should be laid by for the fifth to make
a first payment on the land without
being compelled to be stintcd in the
fifth years expenses, and from the
sixth and seventh year the income
should enable the breeder to venture
$1,000 or $4,000 each year for the es-
adjustment of Il thoroughbred flock Of
his own, in which actually the largest
profits would be.
These figures are rather conservative,
yet they show that there is money in

they are handled in the right way.

Winteriug Stock.

The most important point in winter
ing farm stock is to see to it that at
the beginning the stock is thrifty and
not so old that it will be more apt to
depreciate than to increase in price
by keeping through. Stock young
enough not to have made it's full
growth pays best to keep Of all. 1t is
far better to kill or sell in fall the
stock that has passed its best than
to try to winter it. If it is kept over,
the food it eats will be wasted. If the
cost Of food fed to stock that gain
nothing from it was spent in better
feeding Of young and thrifty stock. it
would make stock keeping in winter
always profitable instead Of being, as
now. the cause Of greater loss than
gain.-American C%ultivator.

RESERVOIR FILINGS.
Stockmen Taking Advantage of the
Liberal Provisions of the Reservoir
Law.
Business at the Local Land Office
Largely Augmented by These
Filings.
THE RESERVOIR LAW.

Business at the local land office is
lively these days with the applications
of settlers in the western part of the
state for land filings under the reser-
vOir law, which went into effect not
long ago. The law was passed with
the idea of encouraging the building
OF dams II reservoirs for the storage
OF water in some states. to the i'm
prOvement of the general conditions
in states where water is scarce. by
storing up the rainfall that wastes
away through mountain streams and
ravines. Under the provisions Of the
law anyone can reserve and have the
use of 100 acres of land in one section
for fifty years, providing he builds Il
reservoir, that will hold and contain
100000 gallons Of water, such reser-
vOir must he on the same section with
the land reserved.
The provisions of the law are being
extensively taken advantage of by set
tiers in the western part of the state,
although 1t is improbable that many
reservoirs will be constructed. for the
reason that the natural conditions are
such that to construct reservoirs in
many VI tHc pIiCcS where liIlu HAS
been filed upon would he impossible.
But filing upon the land keeps other
settlers off, and stockmen. by the pay
ment of the filing fees, may have the
use of the land until the entries are
cancelled, and in the meantime they
secure the use of the land and keep
settlers from %encroaching upon their
ranges by the payment of Il filing fee.
Another provision of the law is as
follows: LANDS so reserved shall
not he fenced but shall be kept open
to the free use of any person desiring
to water animals of any kind. If
lands so reserved are at any time
fenced or otherwise enclosed. or if
they are not kept open to the free Use
of any person as aforesaid desiring to
water animals of any kind, or if the
reservoir applicant attempts to use
them for any other purpose, OF if the
reservation is not obtained for the
bona tide and exclusive purpose of con
s%tructing and maintaining a reservoir
thereon according to law. the declara-
tory statement, upon any such matter
being made duly appear, will be can
celled and all rights hereunder be de-
clared ut all end"
