Chief Justice he reverently repeated
the oath, kissed the book at the end,
and Theodore Roosevelt, a soldier of

which his party has installed since the
close of the civil war. He then de-

his hearehs by it's brevity AS the
ceremony closed he was again greeted
by the roaring cheers of the immense
throng. Accompanied by his escort
and followed by the troops and
civilian paraders he started for the

no fault of the climate or soil was
amply proven by several people
who gave their orchards and gar
dens just what water they required
and no more. We saw potatoes
that were raised here last summer
that were equal to any we ever saw
coming from districts that claim to
make a specially of potatoes. 1t
is Just as bad to have too much
water as not enough and this is one
of the problems our new settlers
have got to figure out before they
can make successful irrigation

Now that the irrigation season is
On it will be well to call our readers
attention to the fact that it is pos
sible to use too much water. MANY
of the residents of this valley have
come here from the east where
such a thing as irrigation is un-
known and when they get to hand
ling water they are more than liza
bic to turn on too much and thus
overdue a good thing. Last year
gave lots of evidence of this. The
peach crop was in one or two places
almost ruined because the fruit was
entirely too watery, caused by the
trees getting more irrigation than
they required. But where it was
mostly noticeable was in the root
crops. Potatoes were rendered al
most useless. A large majority Of
this product resembled the Red
River valley potatoes after an ex-
cessively wet season. That this is
