|RR|GAT|NG WITH UNDERGROUND FLOW

Washington, Nov. 9.-Upon the
adoption and applications of success
full methods for utilizing the two great
classes of ground-waters. which are
found in the great plains, rests the
prosperity and stability of an area of
fertile and productive land greater in
extent than several eastern states.
Naturally, this vast region has possess
ed peculiar fascination for geologists
and water experts, and for many years
Investigations, more or less desultory
i'm characters, owing to lack of funds,
have been conducted therein.
After the passage of the national
irrigation act, and the formation of the
reclamation service, these investiga-
tions were taken up in a more practi-
cal and thorough manner, and extend
ed over greater areas. The under
ground waters of the great plains be-
long to two general classes, and are
divided with reference to the geologi-
cal character Of the formations in
which they are found.
The first of these is found In Dakota
sandstone, and occurs under sufficient
pressure to cause it to rise an appre-
ciable distance above the level at
which the drill meets 1t, thus forming
artesian wells.
The other is known as underflow OF
sheet water, and is found in sands and
gravels. Its occurrence is very gen.
eral all over the great plains at vari-
Gus depths, and the problem OF utiliz-
! ing it for irrigation, IL successfully
solved, means the reclamation of ex-
tensive areas of wonderfully product
i've soil, which are today worthless for
any purpose save the grazing of cattle
and sheep.
The reclamation service has con-
cluded a series of careful studies of
the underflow of the Arkansas valley
in western Kansas and has recon-
mended the construction of large
pumping project, which will be sup
piled from a number of wells tapping
| this underflow.
The results of another interesting
! investigation conducted in the valley
! of the South Platte. in Nebraska and
| Colorado. will appear in the forthcom-
ing annual report of the reclamation
service. This investigation was begun
the middle of July, 1905, and extend
ed from Sterling, Col, to South Platte.
The work was in charge of Pro-
fessor Charles S. Slitchter and a corps
| of assistants. It's purpose was to de-
termine what resources, II any, exist
| ed in the underflow water of that val
! ley, and whether 1t was practicable to
make use of such waters If they were
found to exist in suitable quantities
| for irrigation. In the section investi-
gated the valley varies in width from
two to eight miles, and the river oc-
cupies n very sandy stretch from 1900
to $500 feet in width.
Briefly summarized, the reconnois-
sance of the South Platte valley indi-
Gates that there is an ample supply OF
ground-water for the irrigation OF
suitable lands in the bottoms along
the valley, but that 1t is impracticable
in this section to divert any of the
ground-water from the valley of the
stream upon the high lands which
border It,
There remains, however, a very con-
siderable quantity of bottom lands In
the valley Of the river proper, of such

Furthermore, the necessity of all
western states standing together
doubtless will make senator's and rep
resentatives of neighboring common
wealths join with Senator Fulton and
the delegation that is to go to WASH
ington to further the appropriation.

loyal cooperation; must handle these
things on a nonpartisan basis and re-
member that the issue goes to the
interests OF all persons irrespective. of

Der that reciprocity is the soundest
foundation for all such enterprises,
and that. II the people south from
here in the state of Oregon help them,

I'VE are not making the mistake of
forgetting that these matters must be
taken up one at a time and that we
should not scatter our forces among
several federal enterprises SO as to
lose them all. Hence, we are disposed
to help the Columbia valley to get its
appropriation for the deepening Of the

SHOULD NOT HELP DEFENDANTS.
A Change in Procedure in Smoke Law
Cases Suggested.

A suggestion to the health department
for betterment of the policy Of their
Office was suggested In the Police Court
this morning by Assistant Corporation
Counsel James Pugh. He pointed out to
Judge Mullowny that when the health
office sent out its smoke inspector and the
latter found violation of the law that a
report was sent to the persons guilty of
the violation stating to the exact minute at
what time the violation occurred.
That hampers the prosecution greatly
in these cases said Mr. Pugh on this mat
ter this morning. Il would not imply 1t In
this case but 1t Is certain that the exact
statement of the time in adance of the
presentation of the case for trial helps the
defense to show no violation at that par
ticular moment or to show observations
made by themselves at that time. Under
the present system that is bad practice and
is liable to lead to complications in the
future.
The case under consideration at the time
was that of Edward Graves and Benjamin
S. Graves proprietors of the Hayenner bak-
cry of Ago C street northwest They showed
that many observations of their stack had
failed to show violations of the law and
that this was an extraordinary occasion
when the engineer tried to burn up some
rubbish. The fine was s25.

DRAWING THE VEIL.
Some Interesting Predictions About
Important Matters.

Since the days of the Witch of Endor
there has been long line of those who
look into the future. People of today are
mighty little different from those of the
past, and however much modern men and
women say they don't believe, they seldom
lose an opportunity to peep through any
window said to give a glimpse of the future.
In France today people are interested In
Madam Thebes; Russia has its Madam Oh
lendorf of Scala, in Little Russia; Germany
and the other nations have theirs, and just
now Washington is giving serious consid-
GRAFTON to Mrs. Eva Fay. Outside of the
interest in Mrs. Fay's performances the
prophesies of general character that she
has made and still makes are being very
much talked about
1t is claimed the Maine disaster was seen
by Mrs. Fay long before 1t happened
though she could not see the name of the
skip, but merely said that an American
battlesbip would be destroyed In the Ha-
vana harbor by the Spanish army. While
In Cincinnati. Ohio, previous to this, she
had foreseen the assassination of President
Mckinley and had reluctantly prophesied
1t. Even previous to this prediction il Is
claimed. she had foretold the election of
Major Mckinley to the chief magistracy,
and announced that Theodore Roosevelt
would he his vice. In later years, on Oc-
tober 4, 1904. while in Utica, she prophesied
the landslide which brought President
Roosevelt to the seat he now holds, accur-
ately foretelling the number of votes which
he would receive in the electoral college.
