WATER REQUIRED IN IRRIGATION.

Facts of interest in connection with
the amount of water used in Western
irrigation are furnished by description
of the Vernal Valley irrigating system
Of Northeastern Utah, now in prepare
ton for one of the reports of the United
States Geological Survey. The Vernal
Valley is fertile region, approximately
twenty miles long by three miles wide,
its boundaries being sharply defined by
the surrounding foothills. The soil is a
sandy loan and the principal crops are
alfalfa and oats. Like many other Sec
tions of the West, the mean annual pre-
cipitation in the Vernal valley is small,
being only little over nine inches, an
amount entirely insufficient for agricul.
tural purposes; furthermore the annual
snowfall is light and there is no well-de-
fined rainy season. Hence, without the
use of water, the land is practically
worthless for cultivation, its value being
placed at $l.25 per acre. With the con-
struction of irrigating bitches, however,
and with the assurance of good water
supply, the same land at once increases
in value to $50 an acre.
According to the twelfth census, $4,000
acres of the Vernal Valley are under
ditch, 17,471 acres of which were being
cultivated in 1900 by means of irrigation,
the population numbering 5000. All the
water which is diverted for use upon the
land is taken from Ashley Creek, a trib-
utary of the Green River. From this
stream there are three main canals, be-
sides a number of smaller ones, each
drawing specified amount of water
which has been allotted by law.
Measurements have been made at va
rious times by the photographers of the
United States Geological Survey, OF the
amount of water appropriated by the
canals and used upon the land. The
combined maximum capacity OF the
canals OF the valley was found to be
sufficient to allow $50 cubic feet of water
to pass in each second of time. The
records OF the flow OF Ashley Creek and

Condition of School District No. 7.

The schools in all parts of the city are
overcrowed and the question of new
buildings will be brought before the peo-
pie in the near future. There is also
some talk of increasing teachers sala-
ries, but although the increase should
be made, the financial condition of the
district at present will not permit it
without the drawing OF illegal warrants.
The school law provides that warrants
on school funds cannot be drawn to ex-
coed the income in any one year, and
the limit for this year has been reached.
The following statement, compiled by
School Clerk Z. G. Peck from the books
OF the county treasurer, shows the finan-
cial condition of this district at the close
