Those far-sighted newspapers that
advocate the economical little scheme
of stay-at-hOme vacations are reason
ably certain to have a large number
of sympathetic readers. And, besides,
those who actually spend their vaca-
tions doing little odd jobs around
their homes are by no means the least
benefited. nor do they have the least
genuine enjoyment.

The Pawnec Reservoir scheme.

Owing to an insutficiency OF water
supply the United States has abandon
ed the PaWnec reservoir scheme In
northeastern Colorado and lands with
drawn from entry have been thrown
open to regular entry. This action on
the part Of the government will be a
great disappointment TO the people OF
Logan cuunty and others who have
been feeling sure that the great rescr-
voir would be built. Yet IT Is better
that the first expenditures under the
new law should be under the most IA
vorablc conditions, and later on more
doubtful projects may receive atten.
ton. The cause af western irrigation
is too important to be jeopardized by
partiality toward local interests, no
matter how desirable it may be to
meet the wishes OF those concerned

The Platte Rescrxotr.

The South Platte reservoir project
about which high hopes were enter
tained by the people Of the northeast
section OF Colorado has been definitely
abandoned by the government on the
ground that the water supply was not
available for the large workings which
were proposed.
The scheme as AZ first contemplated
called for huge reservoir capable Of
irrigating thousands OF acres Of land.
but, apparently, the government,
which must necessarily be cold-blood-
ed and calculating In these propo.
sitions, found out that the water was
already so largely taken that the sue.
cessful outcome Of the project would
be matter Of grave doubt. With 80
many opportunities In this western
country for irrigation enterprises
which are wholly feasible. the author
tiles felt justified In abandoning the
South Platte scheme. However, this
does not necessarily mean that small
er enterprises wonld not be wholly
successful in that particular section of

uncle Sam Will Build no Reservoirs
In The south Platte Valley.


The following despatch from Wash
ington appeared In the Denver Repub.
lican o: recent date:
"As d result of extensive surveys
and examinations made along the
south Platte river from Greeley to
.Iulesburg. In eastern Colorado, the
geological survey reports that there is
not sufficient water in that stream to
reclaim the immense tract OF public
lands Withdrawn from eutry July II,
1902, and accordingly the secretary Of
the interior To- dsy ordered restoration
to entry OF all public lands included in
townships four 70 twelve and ranges
l5 to ~, lying north OF the South
Platte river.
when these lands were temporari-
Ily Withdrawn on the recommendation
Of Colorado interests, the government
was assured that the South Platte
survey as designated offered many at
fractions for government irrigation,
and throughout last summer and q
great portion OF the winter the South
Platte WAS carefully measured to de-
ternine the amount OF water availa-
BILE for irrigation purposes. and some
surveys were made to determine posi-
BILE locations OF storage reservoirs.
The conclusion that there was in
sufficient water to justify a large ex-
pcnditure Of government funds, how
ever, led to the abandonment of the
project, with the result above indicat-
ed. As soon as the local land officers
are advised OF the restoration the
lands affected will again be opened to
entry.
1.-The geological survey reports do
not favor building any reservoirs along
the South Platte, for 1t is shown that
AL the available water can probably
be proftably diverted on small scale
by private capital"
It would seem from this that the
ircigaLion officials of the government
have abandoned the plan OF building
the Pawnee reservoir and that the
people In northeastern Colorado must
look TO private enterprise 10 solve the
question OF water supply.
Thisdncstion can certainly be solv-
ed by Sedgwick county residents II
they willorganizc an irrigation district
and build reservoir upon the Jumbo
site, or develop the underaow in the
Platte.
II it is not considered practicable to
develop the undertlow, and there Is a
question whether 9 sufficient under
flow could be developed. then let an
Underground reservoir be built upon
the Jumbo site.
This 10 surely practicable, and a res
ervoir could probably be built upon
this site for less money than would be
required TO develop an underhow
ditch.
In this instance sedgwick county
people must be the architects of their
own fortunes; Uncle Sam has decided
that he can do nothing for them. hence
they must work out their own saliva
tion. The best plan. whether under
flow ditch or above.ground reservoir,
should be adopted and work should be
started as soon as possible. Perpetual
water will be worth all 1t costs, no
matter which proposition Is decided
upon. The only question is which is
the better.
