CROPS ARE GOOD;
MONEY Is PLENTIFUL
Henry Clcws Tells Of Immense stores
of Gold and Products.

Henry Cicws Tells Of Immense stores
of Gold and Products.
Henry Clews says of the money and
crop situation:
The crop outlook is especially sat
isfactory. We are now almost sure
of a full crop of cotton, corn. and
wheat, all of which will command
good prices and for which there is
likely to be a good home and foreign
demand.
The government report indicates a
large crop of corn and a good crop
OF wheat. The cotton crop is expect
ed to reach over 100000 bales, and
as already pointed out, the money val
ue of our crops will certainly exceed
all records.
Cheap money and plenty of 1t is a
very influential element in the pres
ent advance. In spite of the ap-
proach of crop moving demands, both
call and time money are unusually
cheap, and such low rates naturally
make good stocks and bonds look at
tractive as investments.
Bank reserves are about the highest
on record for this period of the year,
and the monthly currency statement
shows the amount of circulation in the
country to be $S,O46, 100000, against
$2,7S1, 900, 900 a year ago.
An increase Of over $260,00O, 900 in
IL months, chiefly in gold certificates,
is, Of course, inflatlonary in charac-
ter, especially in view Of the dimin-
ished activity in business, which les
sens the demand for currency.

the evaporation was slight and in
creased greatly toward the edges,
while in dry fields a short distance
away it was between two and three
times as great. The pans on the top
shelves of the towers in the lake
showed twice as much evaporation as
those in the bottom and this condi-
tion was due to the blankets of vapor
which lie over the surface.
Tests made in alfalfa fields show
that the evaporation is much slower
in dry fields. 1t is also much greater
at midday than at night, and it is the
intention of the government to find
the exact amount Of evaporation at
different points in the United States,
in order to be able to estimate the
water supply from various lakes, res
ervoirs, bitches, etc.
Consequently it is our aim to CO.
operate with the reclamation service,
the forest service and the geological
survey to determine these matters.
An effort will be made to get forest
rangers and men living in the noun
tains to keep measurements of the
snowfall at different attitudes.
They will be furnished with the
necessary apparatus to keep the ac-
counts. Fifteen inches of snow will
make one inch of water on an aver
age, according to accounts kept, al
though this varies at different alti-
tudes and in different climates, but
from accounts gathered and taking
the average flow of various streams it
can soon be determined during the
winter and spring what amount of
water will need to be stored, taking
the evaporation into consideration, to
irrigate certain acreage of land dur
ing the season."
Professor Bigelow has conducted
experiments at Reno, New, and has
visited the different government pro-
jects in this state, having gone over
the Minidoka and Twin Falls country,
and this afternoon in company with
Chief Engineer Sanders visited the
government dam, where the proposed
evaporating plant will probably be
placed.

GLASGOW STREET RAILWAYS.
Successful Operation of the Municipal
Electric Lines.

Consul j. n. McCunn of Glasgow,
reports that the official details of the
operations Of the municipal street rail-
ways of that Scotch city for the year
ended May 81 show gratifying results,
and gives the following particulars: :
The number of passengers carried
was 226,94S,29O, an increase of o.
SS5,192 over the previous year. The
revenue from passenger fares reached
the record figure of $4,416,S21, an in
crease of $97,SS3 over the previous
years total While the total receipts
for the year are the highest yet re-
corded, the increase is the smallest in
the past 10 years. In 1912 the in
crease of receipts over the previous
year reached the extraordinary sum
Of S60S, ,040. This remarkable increase
was accounted for by the fact that at
that time the great extension scheme
was being rapidly utilized, and the
receipts were proportlonately lncreas-
ed. The total receipts, however, OF
that year U901-2) were only 5000
O41, so that the revenue has increased
ir six years S1,426,2S1, or about so
per cent The comparatively short ex-
tensions Of the track mileage made
during the past year and the lnclem-
ency Of the weather during the sum-
mer and autumn seasons are the at
tributed causes for the lower rate of
increase.

EXPERIMENTING
ON EVAPORATION
PLANT TO BE ESTABLISHED
AT BOISE BY GOVERNMENT.
Study of New Problem to Be Carried
on by Government Experts at Ida
hos Capital in Connection with the
Work of the Reclamation Service.

Professor H. T. Rigelow of Wash
ington, D. c., who has charge of the
climatological work of the United
States for the weather bureau, is
spending a few days in this city for
the purpose Of establishing evapora-
tion plants here in connection with
the reclamation service. and also ar
ranging with the forest service to de-
termine the amount of snowfall ih the
mountains during the winter, says the
Boise Capital News.
In speaking of his work this morn
ing, Professor Bigelow said;
'The study of evaporation is new
problem taken up by the government
and it is a very important one in con-
nection with the reclamation serv-
ice, which is building large storage
reservoirs, which in parts of the
country will be greatly lowered by
evaporation and consequently it can
be readily seen that this feature will
affect irrigation and plant industry
TO a great extent.
1.-THE government is beginning its
work at Salton sea, where work has
begun of installing a gigantic evap-
oration plant to determine the exact
amount OF evaporation on the dry
deserts of California.
"The Salton sea is now dropping
at the rate of six feet per year and
very little water is coming in from
the rivers, so it will be easy to deter
mine what the evaporation is in THAI
locality and altitude. The plant will
consist Of a series Of towers in which
pans will be set 10 feet apart which
will show the evaporation at differ
ent attitudes.
In experiments already conducted
there with 29 pans in operation 1t
was found that there was great diff
ference in the evaporation in a short
distance. In the center of the lake

While we have not had an opportu-
nifty of seeing the alaska" wheat
grown by Mr., Adams, nevertheless the
description and cuts published in yes
terday's Oregonian correspond very
closely with the characteristics of a
variety of wheat known as Seven
headed" or Egyptian" wheat.
This wheat has been grown on a
small scale at this station for some
years, and we find it to be of little
commercial value. Hence we suggest
that our farmers do not become too
enthusiastic over this new wheat until
its merits have been more fully and
conclusively demonstrated.

FOREST RANGES
AND PURE SHEEP
FEDERAL SUPERVISION
GOOD FOR BREEDERS.
Possible to Raise and Run Pure Bred
Registered Sheep on Western Ma
tiOnal Forest Reserves - Certain
Conditions Necessary and Govern
mcnt Provides These.

Many sheep breeders, especially
those of the east will be surprised
to learn that pure bred registered
sheep may be raised and run on the
open ranges of the west in large
bands without any diminuton In the
grade or quality of the product as
compared to the parent dams and
sres with which the flocks were start
ed, says forest bulletin. The first
requisite, however, is that an entirely
satisfactory range, properly protected
flom the intrusion Of other flocks and
upon which there is certain to be the
necessary amount of forage, water
etc, must be assured. At the present
time this condition exists only upon
private lands and within the national
forests of the west which are under
the administration of the forest serv-
ice.
A noteworthy example of what can
be accomplished in breeding high
grade sheep on properly controlled
open range is that of Allen Bros, who
Craze about 5000 head of registered
Cottswold sheep within the Uinta ma
tional forest in the state of Utah.
These bands are the increase of about
200 head of prize winning stock from
the royal stock show of England and
the international show at Chicago,
purchased and imported to Utah by
Allen Bros. since 1892. They have
been grazed within the Ulnta nation-
al forest since 1908, upon ranges
which are practically ideal for sheep
grazing purposes, being well watered,
grassed and shaded, and protected
from the grazing of other sheep.
Careful breeding is developing pure
bred type of Cottswold entirely ade-
quate to western range conditions, yet
equal to anything raised under fences
in the eastern United States or in
| European countries.
This is a sample case that demon
strates what range control within the
national forests is enabling the stock
men of the west to do. There are
quicker and greater returns to be Sc
cured from the raising of high grade
stock than from inferior mongrel
breeds, but in many sections stockmen
have hesitated to invest in registered
! sires and dams because of the uncer-
tainty Of securing ranges upon which
feed and water are absolutely assured
and without which such ventures
would not be so remunerative or as
successful as the running of inferior
grades of stock better adapted to the
severe range conditions that are COM
monty encountered because of over
stocking and lack of control.
On national forest ranges the mum,
Der of stock allowed is only what the
range is sufficient to sustain under all
conditions, and a stockman who Sc
cures a permit to Craze stock on these
ranges may embark upon the business
of raising high grade cattle and sheep
with every reasonable assurance of
success.
