dency to construct storage reservoirs I re-
gard as one Of the most hopeful develop
ments for the welfare OF the irrigated sec
ton OF the country. since Il Is in that d.
rection that we must expect added facilities
for the Irrigation OF western land.
MANY Of these runs In which water is to
be ~impounded are almost dry throughout
the year, but. during the wet season they
run full. A large part OF this water can
be saved and turned into domestic uses. II
costs but little to construct a dam across
a canyon. a mere earthen embankment
serving the purpose. while in all section
of the irrigated region available canyons
and runs may be found. All that is nee
essary to make a satisfactory reservoir is
the construction Of an embankment higher
than the possible rise Of the water and ?
waste-gate for the purpose of allowing
the surface water to escape when 1t reaches
the maximum height"
This is the plan that the United States
government is carrying out on a large scale
in the North Platte valley, and the same
method employed on a grand scale by the
English government in Egypt to bring
large areas under cultivation.

Less Light In May.
According to the reports Of the state oil
inspectors filed during the last few years
less oil is used during the month of May
than any other month in the year. This is
due to the fact that the days are longer,
the farmers are buster and the young man
and the young woman turn to moonlight
walks and shaddy hooks. Last year the
receipts for May were not sufficient to pay
the expenses of the office.
Decrease in Appeals.
A very small number of cases were filed
in the supreme court during the month OF
April, the number being 40 per cent less
than for April Of last year. Clerk Herd
man surmises that this Is due to the fact
that district courts are in session abou,
this time and most of the lawyers are
busy in these courts. Another reason ad.
vanced is that the new law requiring the
filing OF papers within six months of the
time of appeal instead of in one year as
heretofore. has discouraged appeals for
delay. The cost of appeal would be toe
great for the small time gained.
