NECESSITY FOR STORAGE RESER-
VOIRS IN THE WEST.

A significant indication of the agri
cultural progress of the West is the
growth of public opinion toward the
fullest possible use of the streams for
irrigation, and especially toward the
conservation of the winter and spring
hocd waters which now run to waste.
A recent report received by the Unit
ed States Geographical Survey, in it's
study of the country's water resources
from Mr., A. l.. Fellows, resident hy-
drographer of the survey from the
State of Colorado, throws interesting
light upon the water situation now eX-
listing in that state.
The urgent necessity for storage of
water says Mr.. Fellows, was never
more fully demonstrated than by the
great scarcity of water in Colorado
during the present irrigating season.
The guagings of the streams by the
United States Geographical Survey
show lower stages than have ever
been known before at the same season
and the fact that winter flow of con-
siderable magnitude, although less
than the normal, might have been
stored if reservoirs had been avail
able, and the further fact that a num-
Der of floods of short duration, result
ing from violent rain storms, were left
unutilized, have opened the eyes of IL
rigators as never before to the neces-
sity for storage Although the short
age has been most marked upon the
eastern slopes of the Rockies the
same is true to less extent upon the
western slope. Whereas in the east
ern streams there has been practically
no high stage, water being taken IN
the irrigation ditch before any high
stage could be observed in the streams.
on the western slopes, the streams.
while reaching stage af considera-
BILE run-off, have nevertheless at
tanned their maxima at early periods
and have subsidized quickly, SO that low
water stages have come from one to
two months earlier than usual.
These facts, taken in connection
with the prevalent high charges for
water and the increasing value of
land susceptible to irrigation, have re-
suited in filings being made. upon u
great many reservoirs sites throughout
the state.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO PUMP WATER.
J. j. Vernon.

An experiment was undertaken with
the three following points in view:
First, the development of water sup
ply from the underflOw in sufficient
quantities for irrigation purposes. Sec
Ond, test of the efficiency and econ
omy of different makes of pumps.
Third, the determination of the cost
OF irrigating different crops by pump
ing, under varying conditions of
drouth. One six-inch we'll forty-eight
reet deep, with a slotted strainer 10
Gated in twelve-foot gravel stratum
furnished over 800 gallons of water a
minute or something over 6,400 cubic
feet an hour at the rate of 1T cubic
feet second.
At the end of a thirty-hour cOntin-
uC,ls run there was no sign of di-
minutiOn of the water During this
run 63 acres of alfalfa were irrigated
in % hours and As minutes at a cost
OF $1.3O an acre for fuel. This field
was irrigated on June 9Th with river
water but had received no water from

on July 30th, IS days later. The
Ground was very dry and cracked open
quite depth. Since at this season of
the year alfalfa is usually irrigated
once in from IA to Fl days, it is quite
probable that twice the quantity of
water was required for the irrigation
than would have been necessary I'M
der normal conditions.
Taking this as probably true, the
cost of irrigating alfalfa would amount
to about IS cents an acre under nor
NAL conditions of dryness and fire.
quency. it is TO more than just that
should add that this run was made
with inferior fuel and the cost is likely
to be less rather than more. The fol
lowing figures are based on a cost of
about 1925 a cord for wood. Compu-
tatiOns from the data obtained from
the tests that have been made will no
doubt be of interest, though incOm-
plete, and are as follows: .

DOING WITHOUT ICE.

n plOSCoo NY WhiSh POiioAAopiS SOONo
may be shipped in close cars without
refrigeration is undergoing a test and
is particularly interesting to fruit deal
ers. 1t is known as the Baker system
and the gentleman who has charge of
it in Kansas City says there is no
stock for sale, and that the company
has ample capital. AS proof of this
he bought outright all the fruit used
in the tests made and no shipper was
asked to risk anything whatever.
Last year this system was tested at
several points, peaches being shipped
to Buffalo from the west and sent out
in small lots by open express several
days later, not only to the place from
which they were originally shipped, but
to cities at distance A car OF
peaches was sent to New Orleans.
Eggs were experimental with and the
This season, though, car of peaches
was sent from a town in Texas to Min
neapolis which turned out partly fail
ure, due, as it was shown by letters,
both at the loading and receiving
points, to the careless manner in which
ed upon as fair test. Fruit shipped
to Chicago turned out well and the
fruit men there considered the system
a success. A carload of fruit was sent
from Arkansas to Kansas City which
was on the way thirty-siX hours till
E,,i1 of Nh0 hoy
such that the fruit would have quickly
rotted unless protected by ice and
yet that fruit was afterwards sold
along with other fruit which came in
refrigerator cars and buyers had no
fault to find.
The Baker process is a secret one
and consists of burning a powder of
some kind in a close car The fruit is
left in this gaseous atmosphere several
hours. Before a shipment arrives at
its destination the ventilators are
opened and the gas allowed to escape.
Small lots are treated in a close room
built for the purpose. The process can
be used on any kind of a car which
can be rendered alright and no ma
cninery is necessary. A station agent
can treat a car before it is billed
out so that it will go through safely
to it's destination. The cost depends
upon the length of haul, being about
81 per cent less than the present icing
charges and saving to the shipper the
space now used by the ice bunkers OF
refrigerator cars.
The company is demonstrating the
system to convince railroad managers
and fruit dealers of it's usefulness 1t
is claimed that anything in the way
of vegetables or fruits can be handled
successfully and until the company
has shown this to be fact no attempt
will be made to secure business. 1t is
asserted that if the system turns out
even half as well as what is predicted
for it revolution will be worked in
the fruit trade and trucking interest,
because common box car at a small
cost can be insulated and ceiled so as
to render it equally as useful for han
ding perishable goods as the present
expensive refrigerator cars.

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough. Give Cham berlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is in fact the only remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Pioneer Drug Store.

There is good deal of complaint regarding the running at large of stock within the corporate limits of the town. There is an ordinance against stock running at large, but it is not enforced for the reason that the town has no place to impound the stock. This will be remedied at an early date, as it is the intention of the town council to build suitable pound, when all roam ing stock will be impounded at the cost of the careless owners.
 The Daily Journal-Miner of Pres- colt is making an effort to keep up with the progress of that progressive Arizona city. JIG. Martin, the editor, has recently added Simplex type- setting machine, and the paper has been changed from an eight-column folio to five-column quarto, change that will be appreciated by the readers and advertisers of that paper. A fairly good press report is taken. The Jour- nal-Miner is the leading daily of Pres- colt, and with the improvements re- gently added, it will be in position to maintain it's standard, and we trust it may become the leading daily of the Territory.

MUSIC

A letter written by an American mu-
steal student in Brussels to musician
in this city gives, in a gossipy way,
some insight into the manner of con-
Quoting those big schools of music
abroad and the politics that enter into
them.
"At these Conservatives" says the
writer, ''the life is not as agreeable as
one might imagine, for the young ar
lists have to struggle against scarcely
disguised i'll will; and a spirit of in
trigue, which occupies, unhappily, so
large a place in the whole artistic
world, is manifested in these schools.
1t is evident that the professors and
the directors do not always lend them
selves to It, Far from it. But in the
end, by the force Of circumstances,
they must submit to the effect of a
large chain of causes. The professors
themselves are not sheltered from
these maneuvers which come directly
from outside sources. The followers of
one professor will try to discredit an
other professors renown because his
pupils have been more successful.
"The fact that an American, young
MacMillen, of Indiana, won the first
prize at the Brussels conservatory this
summer has aroused considerable feel
ing here in Brussels, for never before
