THE FARM AND RANGE
Irrigation from Pumps.

The experiments in irrigation nv
means of pumps, which will be made
in this state and in the vicinity of
Cheyenne, Wyoming. by the Depart
ment of Agriculture under the direc-
ton OF Mr. Elwood Mead, will be of
great interest.
The results may show 1t to be en-.
tirely practicable to irrigate small!
tracts Of land by this means all
through the plains region. thus re-
claiming from aridity what in the az
Eregate will be large area. The chief
question involved seems to be whether
an adequate amount OF water can be
raised in this way to irrigate sufficient
land to make the employment of the
method profitable.
1t Is evident that this method of ir-
rieating will tend toward intensified
agriculture. Water raised by pumps.
whether wind or steam is used. will be
too precious to be wasted. Farmers
will put it to the best practicable use
by growing crops yielding a high per-
centage of profit per acre.
This is the kind of agriculture Colo
rado and all the other arid states need
They may leave the production of
cereals to localities where farming can
be conducted without irrigation. The
reclaimed land of the arid states will
thus be used in growing crops that
command a high price per acre, but
which require careful tillage and close
attention to give the best results.
Close or intensified farming OF this
kind makes it practicable to maintain
4 large DOpulatiOn Der SQUARE mile In.
stead OF dividing square mile into
four farms Of 100 acres each, it will be
divided into sixteen of forty acres
each. Instead of supporting an ugr-
cultural population of twenty per
square mile. farming of this kind will
support eighty. From this one may
see what intensified farming means to
Colorado and hence what may be
looked for from any method of irriga-
ton.

GORE CANON SUIT.
Federal Authorities Ask Injunction
Against Moffat Road.

Denver May THE second move
in the Gore canon controversy on the
part Of representatives of the United
States government was made yeSter
day when bill for an injunction was
filed in the Federal Court asking that
the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific
railroad be restrained from construct
ing it's line through Gore canon. The
suit is similar to the one instituted
several days ago. which asked that the
right Of way of the road be vacated.
This one is little stronger. 1t de-
mands speedy action to prevent the
road from getting into the canon.
The papers were served on Charles
]. Hughes, counsel for the road. last
night. A hearing in the matter has
been set for next Thursday before
Judge Moses Hallett.
Besides the road the Colorado-Utah
Construction Company is made de-
fendant and various officials of the
two companies are also included. The
bill is signed by Earl Cranston. United
States district attorney. and William
H. Moody, attorney general.
1t is alleged that the government en-
gineers had it in mind to make a res
ervoir of Gore canon as early as 1901.
long before the Moffat road was organ
iZed. The value of the situation as a
reservoir site Is set forth and it is al
legged that it is the key to the water
ing of about 100000 acres in Cali.or
mia, Arizona. Utah and Colorado, $4,000
acres being in Colorado alone. A mil
lion people could be maintained on the
lands now arid which this reservoir
could irrigate.
The road has three rights of way
surveyed. it is claimed. one going
through Gore canon at an elevation
above the proposed dam. another
around Gore canon and third through
the canon at the level of the river.
It is claimed that the government
would be glad to have the road built
ut the elevation above the dam.

rate OF iliteracy is high and the
skilled trades are sparsely represent

here first without their wives; send

is slack, go back themselves. Also
like the Italians, however, they are
not contented to remain away; but
soon return, this time with their fami-
lies, and definitely establish here
their homes.
Unquestionably. the Slavs are more
assimilable than some other elements
in the new immigration. They meet
the supreme test-that of distribution.
They do not huGdle in the great cities,
like the Italians and Jews; there
are Slav colonies in New York, but
they are comparatively unimportant.
They are distributed pretty generally

morning. accompanied by Thomas

Grove stated that he had served in

He returned 10 this country after the
war and lived continually, according to
his statement. quietly in a South Side
Nat in Chicago. He says he has been
In Chicago nearly three years and that
he has visited Omaha on three difSer-
ent occasions during that time.
He stated that he had been negotiat-
ing for several days for immunity from
punishment in case he should surren-
der himself to the authorities, although
he declined to say with whom the me-
gotiations are being held.
He said that in case he was permit
ted to remain in Omaha and have in
dictments against him quashed, he
would probably get into business at
once.
Grove has been at the home Of his
brother. J. J. Grove, who resides in
Council Bluffs, and runs saloon.
He was asked if he had hand in
the famous Cudahy kidnapping, but de-
clined to either deny Or admit his guilt.
The interview lasted for nearly an
hour, during which Grove was appar-
emily ill at ease
The crime with which Grove is
charged is that of kidnapping Edward
Cudahy, Jr., whose father is the pro-
prietor of large packing establish
ment in this city. The kidnapping oc-
Cured December IS, 1900. The kid
napper demanded a ransom of $4,000
for the boy, but he was set free near
his fathers home by his captors, who
got no money.
Following the kidnapping Edward
Cudahy, Sr., offered reward of $15,-
900 for the capture of Grove, and this
offer was followed by another Of sim
iiar nature by the city council and
county commissioners. Other rewards
were also offered. bringing the aggre-
gate amount up to $4,000.

left for the home of his brother in

will be taken by the authorities is not

The Campbell system.

In recent interview Mr.. W. G,
Cheesman. president of the Denver
Union Water Company. spoke enthu-
siastically of the agricultural prospects
of Colorado. saying:
"In the agricultural line Colorado
has made great strides. particularly in
the cultivation of the soil without ir-
rigation. The new Campbell system
of agriculture means more to Colorado
than many people realize. The water
company had an experience with this
last season. which was very gratifying.
On some of our lands we did not care
to use water because it was needed for
the use of the people of Denver so we
planted our crops and raised them
without irrigation.
I'VE planted some land to durum
wheat and this yielded forty bushels
to the acre. Our rye yielded thirty
bushels. In some special cases. where
we gave particular attention to the
crops, we raised forty-six bushels of
durum wheat to the acre. These spe-
cial tests opened our eyes. So we'll did
We succeed with our agricultural eX-
periments without water last year
that we will largely increase our acre
age this season. planting about $50
acres of durum and probably about the
same amount of rye, all of which land
will be handled without irrigation.
You can see what this means for
Colorado. There is a vast amount OF
land which can be utilized for agrcul-
ture by this system. where it is im
possible to raise crops by irrigation
Colorado has now come to be an agrl-
cultural state and our crops are the
