TO TEACH IRRIGATION.
Washington State College VIII Take
Up Timely Study.
THE
RELIABLE
STORE.

The State college of Washington
will teach irrigation as a special sub
ject. The program for the coming
year will cover the entire subject, in
cluding the building of reservoirs and
bitches; the measurement and distrib-
ution of water; time to irrigate and
best methods of application.
Prof. o. L. Waller, who has had
charge OF much government work in
this connection. says TO the Inland
Farmer of Spokane:
"Thc state of Washington is now
entering upon an era of agricultural
settlement and development which is
destined to make It one of the fore
most irrigated commonwealths in the
United States.
"The completion of this develop
ment will involve the expenditure Of
millions of dollars in canals and
bitches and still a greater number Of
millions in leveling and grading the
land for the application of water. To
tens Of thousands OF people who do
this work the problems of irrigation
will be entirely new, and to leave them
to learn all its lessons by experience
will involve the loss of large sums of
money in mistakes and in the inaug-
uration OF wasteful and improper
methods of distributing water, which
will tend to retard both present and
prospective development of the state"

There are, however, smaller tracts in

"WORST TOWN IN THE STATE"
UnenviabIe Reputation Earned by
Georgetown, Washington.

Georgetown, Washington.
Georgetown, Wash, is known as the
toughest town in the state" and the
following from the Seattle Star tells
how it has achieved its reputation:
Georgetown. Seattle's prosperous
little suburb. boasting of popula-
tion OF 1000, is, according to her
officials, the only city in the state
without a debt. And her hope is.
soon to become a part of the Queen
city" says the Seattle star
The Georgetown council has just
appropriated $1,000 with which to
build a new city hall, and even with
that outlay. there remains still in the
city treasury neat little nest-egg OF
$4,000 with more money coming in
every day.
Conscientious scruples, such as lie
behind the perennial wave of reform
in Seattle. have not stood in the way
of progress in Georgetown and she
has earned the "debtless distinction"
by becoming what Mayor Ballinger
and Chief Delaney would call a very
naughty town.
The burden of furnishing running
expenses for the city. has been in IA
very large degree lifieG from the
shoulders of tax payers and saddled
on the backs of gamblers pool room
keepers and saloon men. From these
various sources the city derives a
monthly income of about $4,000 and
secures remarkably low tax levy.
The Georgetown Gambling houses
which are running full blast pay into
the treasury 5000 month each or
$4,000 year.
one pool room "antes up" $3.50 a
month or $4,000 year.
There are 80 slot machines in oper-
alton in the town and these are fined
$40 month each, netting $4,000 a
year.
Although Georgetown is by no
means short on saloons she forces
each one of the Is within her pre-
! cinCts to pungle up $3.50 year. bring
ing the citys total revenues pretty
close to $4,000 all from other than
racnnr,au
A better example of single town
thriving off fines and licenses could
hardly be found in the country,
Georgetown, however. could not be
so prosperous were IL not FOR the fact
that she is a suburb, and can take ad-
vantage of that fact to accommodate
the gamblers that are sporadically
driven out of Seattle.
Her tax levy is very low. Her cit
liens are fond of telling the story of
John Rines, a pioneer owning a tract
Of 100 acres i'm what should properly

fused to allow his property TO be TAX
en- in to Georgetown when the
city was incorporated, and as result
it is said he paid last year tax rate
4 mills higher than the Georgetown
property owners did.

AS to the great possibilities of irri-
cation in the west, George II. Max
well, editor of Maxwell's Talisman,
Chicago, gives some entertaining sta
tistics in the last issue of his valua-
BILE paper. He says:
1.-THE time will come when irrigated
agriculture in the middle west will
absorb every drop of water falling
within that territory.
"And when the irrigation canals
and the irrigated farms Of the middle
west will dry up the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers. just as irrigation in the
west has dried up Tulare Lake in
California, and is rapidly drying up
the Great Salt Lake In Utah, the
floods of the Mississippi and its trib-
utaries will be led out through net
work of canals, large and small, and
stored in reservoirs and every drop
devoted to beneficial use, a use that
will be so valuable that its value for
navigation will count nothing In COM
parison.
II may be a great many years be-
fore this will happen, but it is certain
to come. In no other way can the
vast population with which this coun-
try will TEEN within a few hundred
years be provided with the food to
sustain it.
Japan, from her total are of 147,;
655 square miles of which only 49,
900 are cultivated, collected an annu-
al revenue before the war with Rus
sia began of 121,i33,725. and her ex-
ports amounted to $124,2Os.923.
The average population per square
mile of Japan is 299.76, but only about
one-seventh of her territory is actu-
ally under cultivation.
A section of our own country con-
tanned within Il square extending one
| thousand miles north from New Or
leans and one thousand miles west
from Pittsburg and containing one
million square miles, II as densely
| populated as Japan. would sustain "A
| population of 30O. 900, 900; but a much
larger proportion of this great square
| in the center of the United States
could be more extensively farmed than
in Japan, where only one-seventh of
the total area is cultivated.
Possibilities of Future Development.
on the 1900 square miles of land
in Japan that is actually farmed they
sustain SO,OOO,OOo farmers 1t is a
safe estimate that at least one-half
of the thousand-mile square central
section of the United States above de-
scribed could be as closely cultivated
as the productive fields of Japan.
Those Japanese fields sustain over fif-
teen hundred people to the square
mile. At the same ratio of popula-
ton our own thousandmile square
central section would sustain $50, ,0O0,-
600 of farming population alone
A population of over fifteen hun
dred to the square mile sustained by
agriculture seems to the ordinary
mind incredible: but on the Island OF
Jersey. off the English coast, a pop
ulation of over thirteen hundred to
the square mile is sustained by out
of-door agriculture i'm a climate by nc
means best adapted to intensive farm
ing"

ENJOYS are still in session at Ports
