Most of the rights to water from the canals in Colorado are sold, some of them, however are rented. Where they are sold the price ranges from $500 to $4O0O per water-right for 80 acres. In many sections of the State a reservoir water-right must be pur- chased in addition to the right to use water from the streams.-Irrigation Era
 This is at the rate of from about $2O to $50 an acre with an additional charge for reservoir water-right in some localities. Water-rights are still cheap in the Imperial Settle ments.

The hardened criminal and the young person who has in an unwary moment yielded to temptation are both subject to the same law and the same punishment. The criminal class in the United States today consist largely of those who have been permanent criminals and those who have been made criminals, per verted and crushed down by being thrown into the society of criminals. It is subject to which altogether too little attention is given by the public.-Los Angeles Journal.

The rice fields of Louisiana and Texas, which have been given careful study during the past season, furnish striking illustration of the profits to be derived from the adop- tion of irrigation in this section. Even with the expense of pumping, rice growing in these States has proven remarkably profitable. Lands which were formerly worth from $l to $3 per acre and used only for grazing, now sell for $90 to $40 per acre, and yield an annual return equal to the value of the land.-lrrl- gation Era.
 If the present experimental crop of rice near Imperial proves satisfac- tory this will become a great rice country, with cheap water.
