FARMS ARE RICHER
Great Increase In North Dako-
ta's Irrigated Area.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 4.-The
census bureau in a preliminary report
on irrigation in Nebraska in 1902. saws
that water was artificially applied to
246,SO0 acres, an increase of almost sc
per cent since 1899. There were 1889
farms irrigated and 527 systems en-
ployed We're constructed at an initial
cost of $2,463.74S. This sum includes
the cost of the necessary hydraulic
works and of the 1851 miles of main
canals and bitches. The increase since
1899 in the number of farms is 52.S
per cent and in total construction cost
SS per cent. The average first cost per
irrigated acre increased from SS2 in
1893 to 1902 in 1902. Of the total ir-
rigated area 244,689 acres were water
ed from streams, 200 acres from springs
and 1,021 acres from wells.
preliminary reports on irrigation in
North Dakota and South Dakota note
remarkable increase since 1899 in
the total irrigated area in North Da-
kOta. In North Dakota in 1902 the
farms on which irrigation was report
ed number 1912, and 1884 acres were
irrigated. Sixty-nine systems, supplied
with water from all sources in the
state, were constructed at an initial
cost of $45,0S7, an average of $4.34 per
irrigated acre. There We're SIS miles
of main canals and bitches. These fig
ures represent an increase since 1899
Of 1871 per cent in number of acres
irrigated, SS.9 per cent in number of
farms and 1866 per cent In total con-
struction cost. The Missouri river and
tributaries supplied so systems which
irrigated 9,44t acres belonging to SO
farms. The total construction outlay
for the 81 miles of main canals and
bitches and other irrigation works was
$40,S75. an average of $4-2S per irri-
gated acre.
In South Dakota the rainfall of 1902
was above the average and irrigation
was not practiced as generally as in
other years This was noticeably true

settlers Of Salt River valley.

present no obstacles aside from those
of purely physical or engineering
character, while the construction of
works in settled communities is sure
to involve personal features often more
trying than anything found in the
actual work of construction.
Just now there are several irrigation
districts making appeals to the gov
eminent for assistance, in order that
many thousands of acres of crops may
be saved from partial or total loss each
year by reason of a scanty water sup
ply. In one of these districts, the fam

fected an organization and will shortly
present a formal demand for federal aid
in the construction of the Gunnison

Oregon and other states similar organ
izations are forming; mass meetings
are being held, officers elected and de-

the proper form of organization re-
quired by the department before def

WASHINGTON, d. c., May If
the people of a given state or district
WITHIN state want their lands irrigat-
ed by the government they must ask
for it. This is the upshot of an infor-
NAL statement that has been given out
by the irrigation bureau The idea is
tnat the bureau does not wish to I'M
dertake reclamation projects in any
given locality unless there is a strong.
healthy public sentiment in favor of it.
The operations of the engineers of
the reclamation service since the mas
sage of the irrigation act have excited
widespread interest throughout the
country. In many parts of the West
irrigation has been developed to a
point where the requirements of the
land exceed the normal water supply.
and the settlers are organizing with q
view of securing the aid of the gov
eminent in the construction of i'm
mense storage works to conserve the
flood waters now going to waste. The
assistance of the government is asked
as the cost of the work is beyond the
means of the land owners. In all such
cases the policy of the reclamation
service has been to make it clearly I'M
derstood that this assistance can be
secured only through the influence of a
healthy and sustained public opinion
expressed in a direct communication to
the secretary of the interior from the
people. In brief, the direct benefi-

This information is contained In

agriculture, within the past week
and Is OF the utmost Importance, not
only to Bend, but to the whole OF
cnetral Oregon. This experiment
plant will be In full operation for

expenses will be borne by the %. |. Il

localities and soils require different
treatments. The quantity Of water
and the time of service are also very
important aud their determination
requires not only Rood judgment but
large experience In this particular

HOT ROCK IN
OK BOW TUNNEL

While driving the OK Bow tunnel,
an irrigation and power enterprise
on Snake river. near Payette, a
strata Of hot rock was encountered at
a distance Of 900 feet from the east
portal. The heat was 30 intense that
the drillers we're forced TO knock off
for day. Finally blast Of cold
air from the compressor plant was
forced against the face until the
temperature was sufficiently lowered
to permit Of work. Recently in the
same tunnel a heavy flow Of hot
water. almost boiling, was en-
countered. After penetrating a
hot granite dyke the rock became
cooler, but the face is again In very
hot stone.
