WALKER RIVER RESERVOIR.
Farmers Present Practical Plan for Storage
of Flood Waters

"A number of the defendants in the
water suit of Miller & Lux against 1873
Farmers of the Walker river met Monday
and discussed a project that may result
in settlement of the whole controversy
ont of court.
Ut is proposed to meet the California
corporation in conference and ask them
TO stand by a plan which will place
water enough in the river for everybody
during the dry season. of the year. and
then there will be nothing to fight over
4 IN the courts.
In Antelope valley T. Il. Hickey owns
bit of property known as Alkali lake,
which is quite a body of water, about
two miles by mile, measured in area.
but from only four to six feet In depth.
This lake is near the Walker river, on
the west fork and is several feet below
the level of the water in the stream.
The lake is situated in big depression
with high ridges around it. To make 1t
storage reservoir for water 1t is only
necessary to deepen some bitches now
there. into canals, connect them with the
river and push tunnel through the en-
bankment at the lower end, and build
a short canal from the mouth of the
tunnel to point where the river is
lower than the lake None of this work
will be expensive and a government en-
gineer. who is now on the ground. will
soon be ready to give estimates of the
expense
This natural reservoir win hold water
enough, 1t is estimated, to irrigate So
900 acres of land. During the high wa
ter season the reservoir will be filled
from the river. to be returned in July
and August of each year.
This certainly appears to be about the
most feasible irrigation scheme in Ne
vada and the farmers are agreed upon
II They have appointed a committee TO
confer with Miller & Lux and they will
propose to the big firm that the reser-
voir be constructed and that bonds be
issued and subscribed for by all inter
.ested according to their acreage, and
there will be water enough for everybody
without the necessity of bringing suit.
A lawyer In the case said:
Litigation doesn't increase the amount
OF water. 1t only changes the distri-
button of IL. and one of the parties to a
suit for water is bound to get hurt But
this plan does practically increase the
amount OF water command. and I am
faclined to think that the sum OF money
the poor lawyers would go a long way
toward constructing the reservoir

During the last week or two a number
of sheepmen have been at the yards and
have discussed quite freely from their
standpoint the so-called "Two-Mile
Limit law. which is creating consider
able friction between cattlemen and
sheepmen in Idaho. This law prevents
the sheepmen from driving their fiocks
closer than two miles to a homestead.
Naturally enough the sheepmen oppose
the law and their association fought 1t in
the Supreme Court of the State, which
decided in favor of the law, one Judge
filing a dissenting opinion.
There is, however, two sides to every
story, as was evidenced today when three
prominent Idaho cattlemen were at the
yards and gave their version of the mat
ter. "Cattlemen, both large and small,
are in favor OF the law" said the
spokeman 'as IT is their only protection.
IF II was not for this law the sheepmen
would pasture the grass in our door
yards Sheepmen are quoted as calling
us squatters, but a good many of the
men so-called have been on their places
since 1880 or 1881, and have homestead
er's title. On the other hand. the sheep
men. who call us squatters. many of
them reside in Salt Lake other dis
tant points, and merely drive their herds
of sheep into the State to eat off the
range. We live in Idaho and own prop
erty. while the most of them own moth
ing in the State. but the sheep they keep
on the range. There are, however, ten
TO twelve cattlemn in the State TO one
sheepman. as they will find this fall when
the election Is on. They talk about re-
pealing the law, but they will find that
we squatters are all alive as to what Is
going on."-Chicago Drovers Journal.

YELLOW ALFALFA.
Variety Which Is Especially Adapted to Light
and Sandy Soils.

Sand lucerne, undicago media new
variety of alfalfa, called also yellow al
falfa. has been given a trial at the Mich
igan experiment station, and a bulletin
has been issued reporting the results
Like the alfalfa in common use, sand
lucerne is a deep-rooted perennial plant
sending it's tap roots to distances OF
twelve, fifteen or even more, feet into the
ground, with numerous large branching
roots which seem to increase and null
tiply as the plant grows older. In the
fall Of 1899 some two-year-old plants were
traced in light sand soil to a depth OF
seven and one-half feet, where the tar
root was one-eighth of an inch in diam
eter.
1t prefers a loose, sand sub-soil, and
seems to thrive best where the water is
q considerable distance from surface.
Two plots grown at the Michigan sta
tion were on some of the highest sandy
soil to be found on the college grounds.
These plots have been carefully weighed
and recorded. The larger of the plots.
containing one-sixth of an acre, has been
used exclusively for harvest of cured
hay The other was harvested as hay in
in 1898 and 1899, used for pasturage exper-
iment in 1900. and tried for growing seed
in 1901. The yield per acre from three
crops on this plot in 1898 was 5,917 pounds,
and in 1899 from four crops $3.50 pounds
to the acre.
Cured hay was harvested from one plot
for four years, as follows: The 1893 yield,
first year, was $500 pounds per acre; in
1899 1t was 105s0 pounds, and in 1900 49,
$50 pounds. Four crops a year were har-
vested the dates of cutting being about
the middle of June, July, August and the
first of October.
As to feeding qualities, 1t would seem
that this variety is about the same as
that of common alfalfa, being very rich
in protein. The bulletin states that II is
better adapted to being grazed than the
common alfalfa. One plot was continu-
ously pastured by sheep. As they eat
very close, and often nip the crown, the
part of the root from which the plant
springs, farmers seldom permit them to
Craze alfalfa, or. at least should not
The fact that sheep or any kind of stock
are not injurious to the new variety is
a strong point In its favor.
