''Old Settler"
Enters Protest.

Farmers i'll Saltwater precinct
have a grievance, which though
not of long standing, is serious
because it threatens the success
full cultivation OF their different
farms this season. Heretofore,
the water supply upon which
they have depended for irr1ga-
ton, has found its way through
what is known as New river
channel, but with the progress
OF government work III reclaim
ing other lands it has been
deemed necessary to build dam
some 10 miles vest of the farm
ing section affected, which turns
the water supply down Old riv-
er channel. This leaves the
farms along New river channel in
relatively the same position as
the arid lands, that are now be
ing prepared for reclamation,
and unless the necessary amount
OF water can be had within the
next two weeks, a loss will be
suffered that will approximate
thousands of dollars.
In Justice to the government
officials in charge OF reclamation
work, 1t should he stated that
their projected plans included
the delivery of water to the
ranches affected in a seasonable
time, hut owing to unforeseen
circumstances, this has not been
possible.
Now, the question is being
raised, "who will have to stand
this loss?' 1t Is a matter in
which the old settler is absolute
~ powerless to act, as his com
pact with the government,
whereby he was deprived of his
riparian water rights, included
a delivery of water when needed.
Several thousand acres of cult
vated lands are now dependant
upon a ditch that was calculated
when built to supply only one
ranch, and as a consequence, a
number oT us are facing a condit-
ion that is deplorable to say the
least, and while we hope that
we are not unduly alarmed,
present circumstances certainly
warrant a very strenuous pro-
test. We are face to face with a
shortage IN crops due to a lack
of water. As wehave no power
over the cause. will we be forced
to suffer the loss? Every law OF
equity demands that all losses
incurred should be reimbursed.

newspaper offices, regarding the
entry of public lands under the
reclamation acts that Supervls-
ing engineer l.. H. Taylor has
prepared the following letter
for the benefit of such inquiries.
The number OF acres OF land,
ultimately designed to be irriga-
ted is from 300, 900 to 400, 900
cres, OF which 200 900 acres
viii be supplied with water in
the next three years. OF this ac-
reaee 1t is estimated that about
forty thousand acres will be IT.
rIgated during the present year.
fhe land Is located in a NUM-
Der OF valleys along the Iruckee
and Carson rivers, extending on
each side from the Central Pa
cihc railroad, the distance being
III some places % miles from the
road. The mann body OF 300
600, acres to be irrigated first Is
in the Carson Sink valley, south
of the railroad. Some OF this
land Is immediately adjacent
Wnllu the farthest extends about
70 miles from the railway. The
soil Is adapted to alfalfa, all for
age crops, potatoes, onions,
beets and other vegetables, APP
pies, pears, berries and the hard
Ter declduous fruits. The soil
and climate are similar To those
IN the vicinity OF Salt Lake and
Ogden.
The public lands arc subject to
entry under the homestead act,
no price being charged for the
land, DGt the cost OF irrigation
VIII be assessed against the land
as Il charge for the water right,
to be repaid In 10 annual install
ments without interest, at the
rate OF 81 60 per acre per an
mum. TINS covers the cost of
maintenance and operation dur
ing the 1o-year period, aud pro
videS for the delivery of water to
each farm and also for a com
plete drainage system.
fItle To the public lands is not
given until all payments for wa
tel have been made. Lands
held in private ownership are
supplied with water as desired
at the some price and upon the
same terms as public lands.
The public lands are now OPP
EN- To entry under the homestead
act but we strongly advise all
intending settlers not to file up
ON anv OF the lands outside of
the district to be irrigated dur
ing the current year, and not
until we can inform them when
the water will be ready for de
livery 10 such outside lands, for
the reason that without water
they can produce nothing that
will yield them a living.
The entire reclamation work
is not expected to be completed
i'll less than eight years from
date, but 1t Is fully expected to
have a large part of the irrlgat-
gated system complete this
spring, and the government ex-
