The Irrigation Problem

The Michigan Ditch has opened
to irrigation and consequently to
settlement and cultivation probably
forty square miles of good land
1t is the pioneer enterprise of this
kind in the Park One of the
smaller and more easily accessible
tracts was of course chosen by the
pioneer promoters of limited means.
In this connection the New Era
wishes to call the attention of pros
pective investors in North Park
properties to the possibilities of
two other tracts similar in size to
that reclaimed by the Michigan
ditch and one of three times that
area:
between the Platte river and
the Park range is a three cornered
patch of sage brush as big as that
covered by the Michigan ditch, part
of which can be covered from the
North Fork of the Platte River by
building dam about quarter of a
mile long and so feet high out
across the outlet of Lake John and
filling the lake. The remaining
higher parts above Lake John are
under the Big Horn Ditch on In
dependence Mountein.
2-The flats of the Illinois creek
valley, most of which lie south of
Owl Mountain between the noun
tain and the creek. A ditch out of
Jack creek above the junction with
the Illinois will cover this whole
fiat just as easily as the one now
in use covers Suttons ranch at the
upper end of the flat. Where is
the water? 1t runs down Jack
creek and Illinois creek every
spring and early summer A fair
use of the opportunities of that
country above Rand up to Teller
for storage reservoirs can open all
this flat to cultivation much more
cheaply than the same character of
land is being opened farther north
at nearly as great altitude in nor
thern and eastern Wyoming and in
Montana.
Extending almost the whole
length of North Park, from Soap
creek. nearly at the foot of the
mountains in the south end. north
over twenty miles to the junction
of the Platte river and Michigan
creek. is the Big Flat. 1t is not
accurately a flat, as it is a strip of
rolling country from one to ten
miles wide, averaging six miles.
sloping to the north so that water
at the level of Soap creek at the
south end would cover practically
the entire tract if there were
enough of it.
There is the difficulty The ir-
rigation of these three and a half
townships of good arabic land as
far as the proposition has been in
vestigated. is an almighty expen-
sive project. The Platte river
carries plenty of water right beside
it but it would have to be pumped
up 100 feet higher or a pipe line
laid ten miles long to get high
enough. 1t may be possible to con-
duct water to the south, the upper
end of the tract. and investigation
of the possibility of carrying water
from some of the high mountain
streams around the side of the Park
or of turning water across a pass

proof that the time has come when

PRESERVING Flour.

Much interest has been shown of
late by the army and navy authorities
in a new method OF preserving flour
by means of compression. With by
draulic pressure apparatus the -four
is squeezed into the form of bricks.
and experiments are reported to have
shown that the pressure destroys all
forms OF larval life, thus preserving
the -four from the ravages OF insects,
while 1t is equally secure from mold.
Three hundred pounds of compressed
flour occupy the same space us 100
