The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-05-01
SEEPED LANDS.

In most cases seeped land is caused
by the accumulation of water from
other land, and may come through
gradual soaking underground, or by
passage along the top of an imper-
vious layer, as of shale or clay, and
sometimes by being conducted through
a layer of porous gravel. In all these
cases if the source of the supply can
be ascertained, then when this is
tapped, only patience is needed to
again bring the land into it's former
condition. AS 1t has taken some years
for the full effect of the seepage to
show, so the effect of drainage may
not be fully seen for one to three
years. Sometimes where there is a
layer of sand or gravel overlaid with
clay, water will gush up through holes
when punctured through the top layer
of clay. In such cases the seepage is
often seen on the side of the hill and

was found to lose at the rate of a
depth of 81 feet in one day. 1t was
not surprising that an immediate re-
suit was the loss of the garden crops
below the canal in that part of town.
What attracted my attention to the
case and led to the measurement be-
ing made was field of cabbages, full
grown, with the tops just showing
above lake of water. In this case
the canal was an old one, and had
been running without any material
loss. Some plasterers had found an
excellent supply of sand where the
ditch crossed a draw and, digging
into the sand, had thus given the wat
err full chance to leak, which it did
very freely. This illustrates the fact
that cleaning ditch often increases
the loss. Sitting up the canal with
clay sediment very greatly reduces the
loss. If the sediment is fine sand
the silt may be of little benefit. Some

times the construction of low dams to
hold up the water and let the silt
drop has a marked beneficial effect.
The time has not yet come to gen.
orally line the bitches and canals.
Measurement of hundreds of miles of
bitches has shown that the greatest
losses usually occur in limited
stretches Sometimes these may be
told by an examination of the soil and
the surroundings, but often they can
not be guessed at from a casual sur
face examination. The better way is
to determine the worst places, and
then to improve these. The presence
of signs of seepage below the canal
may sometimes indicate where there
may be suspected spots. At present
the application of a remedy to the
worst places, or an attempt to silt the
canal with clay sediment will do the
greatest good at the least expense.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-05-01

An important project is under way
by which an extensive acreage of land
in the lower Yakima Valley, lying
above the Sunnyside Canal, will be
watered. The project involves a com.
bination of the Selah-Moxee Ditch
Company and the Lombard & Horsley
ditch Interests and the tunneling of
the Selah hill and the hill on the east
side of Union Gap. These tunnels will
cost $150,000 and will enable new
ditch to be carried at sufficiently
high elevation into the valley below
the gap to bring under irrigation a
very large tract of dry country. The
tunnels will also accelerate the flow
of the water, the cement bottom and
sides adding so per cent. to the flow
of the water in fumes.

While a Snake River dam bill has
passed both Houses of Congress, it has
differences in form that require adjust
ment. There is also very strong OPP
position to the project, as it is as
serted a leading lumber company will
build an immense mill at Five Mile
Rapids, and desires the passage of the
bill so they can utilize the water for
their private benefit, rather than to
conserve the water for the benefit of
the public. There is sight of differ
ence between a millsite and damsite.

increasing to the bottoms. These soils
are generally among the easiest to
drain, though from failure to under
stand the situation they have often
met with failure. With the greater
value of land, the cost of drainage is
moderate, and when reclaimed the land
will be the best of the farm.
One of the conclusions of the in
vestigations reported in Bulletin No.
As, of the Colorado Experiment Sta
ton, was that most of the seep wa
ter came from the bitches, rather than
from the water applied to the soil.
While this is not always the case, 1T
is generally true. 1t was found that
with bitches in heavy clay there was
usually a loss equal to a depth OF
three inches over the whole canal
each day. In sandy soils with some
degree of clay, the loss might be two
feet a day, and in some cases where
there was gravel bottom, the loss be-
came many times greater. One of the
old canals in the suburbs of Greeley

Government By Injunction.

The Jeffersonian believes that the Hon.
Samuel Gompers thinks he is doing right
when he tries to deliver the labor vote
to Bryan, but we also believe that he is
making the mistake of his life. He is
going to do more harm to the labor unions
than Van C1eave can ever do with that
half-a-nillion campaign fund of his. The
course of Mr.. Gompers is splitting the
labor men into factious groups, and
bitterness will be engendered which will
injuriously affect unionism for years.
The Central Labor Union of Pennsyl-
vania is angrily threatening to get out an
injunction against Mr.. Gompers!
Now, wouldn't it be comical to see the
Labor Unions tie one another up with
injunctions?
Commenting upon the orders issued by
Mr. Gompers to the effect that a Bryan
lte should be made the president of the
Central Labor Union, Frank Feeny, presi-
dent of the c. L. Us, says:
"Ie (Gompers) has been saying all
along that he did not believe in one-man
power, or government by injunction, but
in trial by jury-and what did his rep
resentative do yesterday?
"FIe rendered decision that was worse
than any arbitrary power judge could
have exerted"

com guest at the Bryan home, and Tom
Taggart, the gambling-hell man, was al
lowed to dictate the e-presidential
nomination.
A-Standard Oil man, like Guffeyy of
Pennsylvania, is thrown out because he
isn't for Bryan any more while a Stand
ard Oil man. like Dave Francis, of Mis-
souri,, is told to come up higher, because
he is still for Bryan.
Verify, the Peerless One is a tean1-~a
whole team.
The strategy Of the Bryan campaign
consists in the effort to reap for Bryan
the benefit of the indignation which the
negroes feel about the Brownsville af-
fair In other words, Mr.. Bryan is craft
lily capitalizing, as a political asset, the
wrath which Roosevelt and Taft aroused
in the negroes when they, Roosevelt and
Taft, took the white mans side of that
squabble.
Now, suppose Bryan succeeds with his
willy scheme,-what will be the result?
HE WILL OWE HIS ELECTION
TO THE NEGRO VOTE.
Could anything more calamitous be-
fall the country?
If the negro leaders can prove to their
race that they have been able to decide
a presidential election, who could fix the
limit of their arrogance, their demands
for patronage and recognition?
What are Southern Congressman, edi-
tors, and leaders of thought doing that
they can not see the terrible menace of
Bryan's abnormally selfish and unscrupu-
lous grasping for Office?

National Campaign Notes.
The Young Mems Democratic League
of Atlanta finds itself in state Of agita-
ton What is the matter, kids? Not
'skeered," are you?
Keep on calling for Bryan. Maybe he
will come, after awhile Even the doodle
comes, you know, if you call long enough.
"Thou shalt not STEAL" is the subj ect
of one of Bryan's pious stunts. Neverthe-
less, he is stealing the Watson Williams
vote in Nebraska, by running Bryanites
on the Peoples Party electoral ticket To
steal vote isn't wrong, unless Bryan is
the loser. To steal votes that do not be-
long to him is no violation of the COM
mand, Thou shalt not stea1'-else Bryan
wouldn't do it.
The Cosmopolitan Club of New York
has for its purpose the practice Of Social
Equality and of intermarriage between
negroes and white people. They gave
banquet, a few months ago, at which ne
gro men sat down to eat and drink with
white women. They are to give another
such banquet in October.
THE SECRETARY OF THIS So
CIAL EQUALITY CLUB is OUT
MAKING SPEECHES FOR MR..
BRYAN.
We trust that the Young Mems Demo-
cratic League of Atlanta will not be in
formed of this. The Kids are already
very unhappy.
The Rev. DR.. Corrothers negro divine
of eminent responsibility, is likewise out
making speeches for Bryan. To his au-
dience of negroes in Washington, D. c.,
the Reverend Doctor declared:
LET US VOTE FOR Mr.. BRYAN,
A MAN WHO WILL ENFORCE THE
14TH AND 18TH AMENDMENTS"
And the audience roared with enthusi-
astic approval.
HOW LONG WILL 1T BE BEFORE
SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS COMPEL
MR.. BRYAN TO REPUDIATE THE
SUPPORT OFFERED TO HIM ON
THOSE GROUNDS?
Say, Vardaman How do you like that
kind of negro talk?

THE JEFERsON4AN.

How do you like it, Governor Broward?
And what do you think Of it, Senator
Culberson?
Is it HONEST, in Bryan, to allow the
negro leaders to support him upon the
ground that he will either combat the
Southern disfranchisement laws, or will
favor the cutting down Of Southern rep
resentation in Congress?
What evidence has Bryan given to
these negroes which convinces them that
he sides with them on these vital matters?
The question is fair one, gentlemen,
and 1T MUST BE MET.
You are sitting still, uttering no word
of protest, while Bryan is niggerizing the
Democratic party. Speak out, gentlemen!
The negro leaders went to see Taft
about the Brownsville matter, about the
Foraker bill to re-instate~ the negro troops,
about the Southern Acknowledgement
laws, and about the 18th and 18th amend
ments From Taft they got no satisfac-
ton.
They then went to see Mr. Bryan about
those same matters. He talked with them,
and they came away rejoicing
FECTLY SATISFIED.
WHAT DID BRYAN SAY TO
THOSE NEGROES?
THE SOUTH HAS A RIGHT TO
KNOW.
In his Jefferson Day banquet speech
in Chicago, 1905, Mr.. Bryan declared:
"The time has come for the Democratic
Party to declare in favor of Government
Ownership of the railroads."
Evidently, w. ]. B. was mistaken, just
as he was when he vowed and vociferated
against national banks, the gold Standard
and asset currency.
Well, there's one good thing in being
a rock-ribbed Democrat-you don't have
to use the same ribs all the time. If
you're a Bryan Democrat, you get new
set of ribs every year, or so.
Which is also very consoling, as Mr.
Pecksniff would say. Or did that cele-
brated moralizer use the word ''comfort-
ing?
The things which Bryan solennly calls
his principles have undergone all sorts
of changes, but that cast-iron smile of his
stays put. Two such smiles never smiled
at each other as the two which met when
Bryan, the Peerless, shook hands with
Murphy, the Tammany boss.
And it would have given much pleasure

July % the firm addressed letter to
the wholesale grocers, biscuit bakers
and confectioners Of the United States,
asking for figures showing trade con-
ditions at that time compared with six
months before. The following are the
statements for the eastern states,
southern states and the middle west:
"Staple groceries, 10 per cent less in
the eastern states, II per cent. less in
the southern states and 8 per cent. in
the middle west.
"Sales of groceries classed among
the luXuries, 16 per cent. less in the
eastern states, IS per cent less in the
southern states and Is per cent. less
in the western states. The falling off
in biscuit and bakers articles and in
confectioners' trade shows substantial
ly the same per cent"
10 show how the trusts can escape
from the evils that affiict others, Mr..
Bryan recently called attention to the
fact that recent issue of the Wall
Street Journal shows that the Interna-
tional Harvester company made larg-
err net profits last year than in any
preceding year, and the directors Of
the International Harvester company
are largely the same as the directors
Of the steel trust.

He Didn't Tell His Hostess the Truth
About the Delay.
Dinner had been ready and waiting

guest was very much embarrassed.
Just to think that her husband was so
rude as to be late at dinner engage
ment and keep all the guests waiting!
After awhile the belated one arrived.
red faced and perspiring.
$50 sorry to keep you waiting" he
said. "But was detained at the Of
fee with an out of town customer.
Just couldn't get away"
The excuse sounded all right and
was accepted by the hostess, but 1t
was a myth.
The truth was: Preoccupied, he had
gone home from the Office at the usua!
time and found the house locked, much
to his surprise. Where in the mischief
were his wife and children? he Won
dered. Why didn't they tell him they
were going away? He went all around
the house and tried the doors, but they
were locked. Then he found piece
of iron in the back yard and broke open
a window and crowded in. He crowd
ed out through the window for the
evening paper and crowded back. He
read the paper, and still the wife and
children didn't return.
At 6:O3 o'clock he remembered the
dinner engagement. While he dressed
and rode twenty blocks the guests
waited. But others have made the
same blunder.-Kansas City Star.
