A WATER BULLETIN
INTERESTING DOCUMENT FROM
THE OFFICE OF EXPERT
MENT STATIONS.
Prepared by J. S. Greene of Pueblo,
Under the Direction of Prof. Ell.
wood Mead, and Was Written fer
Those Who Contemplate Settling
In the Arid West.

Washington. d. c., March S.-The
Office Of experiment stations of the I'm
tied States department of agriculture
has just issued a bulletin on the &C
quirement OF water rights in the Ar
kansas valley in Colorado, by Hon. j.
S. Greene OF Pueblo, formerly state en-
gineer of Colorado. prepared under the
direction OF Elwood Mead, chief Of ir-
rigation Investigations. The bulletin
is written especially for those who are
contemplating settling in the Arkan-
sas Valley. and is intended to give
them such an understanding OF water
rights and the conditions which af-
feet their value. that they can act in
%telligently in acquiring a water supply.
Mr.. Greene has been for many years
a prominent irrigation engineer of Col
Orado, has administered the laws OF
the state as the state engineer, and is
a landowner and i~rrigator under some
of the canals dealt with in the bulle-
tin. He has. therefore. had to deal
with the questions discussed from the
standpoints of the investor, the public.
and the individual farmer.
Water rights are acquired from the
state, in the first instance, but the in
dividual settler must usually secure
a right from some individual or COM
pany which has built a canal for the
purpose of supplying water to farmers.
The value of both classes of rights
depends very largely upon physical
conditions and upon other rights of the
streams. Mr.. Greene shows this ON
neCtion and points out the sources of
information as to those conditions.
Rights purchased from canal owner
are subject also to the conditions of
the contracts under which the water
is supplied. A large number of these
contracts are given and discussed in
such a way that an intending settler
can tell what points he should look
into before purchasing a right.
The laws and contracts are discuss
ed also from the s~tandpoints of the
canal owner and of the public welfare.
The report is therefore of great value
to students of irrigation law and econ
omics since it gives valuable in
formation and its Interpretation by
one who has studied it from every
point of view.
The conditions in the Arkansas val
ley in Colorado do not differ essential
ly from those in other parts of the
arid west, and the report is therefore
of interest to any one wishing to IN
derstand the subject OF water rights
in the United States,

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
F'or a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment. pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu,
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Che.

A SPREADING PLAGUE.-The blind tiger is reach
ing out for new business. The patronage OF the
old sots is not sufficient to satate its greed for gain
and now it is reaching out for the young men Of
the country and entangling them in its meshes.-
When young gets his consent to patronize
these places he takes his first downward step and
his final end no one can tell. Heretofore in this
parish this disgraceful traffic has been carried on
mostly by class of lawless scal1awags who were
here to- day and somewhere else tomorrow, but Of
late some of our own people have degraded them
selves by engaging in this illegal business and
number of bills returned against them at this
term of court, several of whom were young men
who have scarcely reached their majority. This is
deporable state of affairs and the Signal regrets
to make such statement in regard to its own par
ish and people, but facts facts. We want to,
see the people wake up to the real situation as it
exists to-day in this town and parish and do sone-
thing to check this evil for if it continues to grow
the parish and people will soon be given over to-
crime and lawlessness to such an extent that good
people will not want to remain here, nor will we be
able to get others to come in and locate among us.
