mitted also that he had brought the ia

and had taken it back and hidden it.
But the negro had explanations for

spent the night in the bath house. He
said that Mr.. Cooper had told him that
he expected company, and feared that

agent for the sale of water shares their work being to colonize the lands. Companies in Harmony with Government
 These two companies were interested in having the public lands occupied by actual settlers and they did every thing in their power to prevent the taking up of the land for speculative purposes. If they had had the power, they would have made changes in the laws as they then stood upon the statute books of the United States, but they simply had to take the laws as they were and then adopt such restrictions regarding the use of water as would assist in the work of putting the lands in the hands of the people who would improve them.
 To this end, they would not sell water right to any one for portion Of his land, and thus prevented man and wife from filing on whole section of land and only procuring water for 20 or 40 acres of the same, allowing the bulk of the holding to remain dry in it's native desert condition. They
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-02-01

urged the would-be settlers to only take as much land as they were able to irrigate and improve. This rule was made in the interest of settlers to prevent large holdings of desert land with an occasional cultivated oasis to mark the advancement of civ ilization. These companies urged throughout small holdings, but Of course were perfectly satisfied when a person took a half section with the intention of improving the entire tract.
 Another requirement. adopted by these companies was put in the form of a provision in the contract between the parent company and the Mutual Water Company representing the set tiers, that such Mutual Water Com pany should each year take as many acre feet of water as there were out standing shares of stock in such com
 rany-each share of stock represent ing one acre of land Thus the peo- pie taking land were required to not cnly secure water stock for the entire tract of land. but they were also re- Guired to take each year enough wa ter to cover that tract of land one foot deep, at a cost of 50 cents per acre
Imperial press and farmer., 1902-02-01

foot to the mutual comI ny of which he was stockholder. his was an other step to prevent speculation.
 This restriction was also in the line of small holdings. It was estimated that the lands in this desert country would require each year enough water to cover them from three to four feet deep-according to the crop planted. The owner of 320 acres must take enough water to cover 320 acres one foot in depth or so acres four feet In depth. This water could be used on so acres and the settler, by cultivat- ing one-fourth of his holding, would have use for all the water he was re- Quired to take.
 Water Delivered-Improveme Begins.
 Water was not delivered on the land to be irrigated until June 15, 1901. During this past season, although wa ter was not available until the middle of June and then only over a very limited area, about 2000 acres were planted to sorghum, millet and other crops that could be successfully planted in midsummer.
 Not only were there 4S,000 acres filed on during the year of 1900, but the fil- ings kept up during 1901 at the follow
