IRRIGATION PRGIEGf
 I YUMA DISTRICT
Work Is We'll Advanced, the Reservation levee Being
 Complete to Laguna,
Special to Reyiew.)

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The engi- neer in charge of the Yuma irriga- ton project, Arizona-C California, re- ports that the maximum discharge of the Colorado river for the month or April was 35,000 second-feet, the min imum, 12,900 second-feet.
 On the Arizona side oT the Laguna dam the concrete walls have been carried into the outer cofferdam, thus making this feature of the work se- cure. Work Is also progressing on the excavation of the sluiceway and placing Of rock in the dam. About 250 men have been employed, x worK- ing in two shifts.
 On the California side the concrete walls have been well advanced to- ward the outer cofferdam, and a steam shovel has been installed to take the place of derrick in excavat- ing for the sluiceway. On the shore end of the dam the concrete walls have been extended into the bed rocB and the pavement on that portion completed. Two hundred men have been employed on this side.
 The reservation levee is now com plete from Yuma to the Laguna dam, with tae exception of the branch de fences, which were also completed during April for about seven miles. The railroad along this levee was op- erated during April, giving a round trip passenger service daily besides the work trafn service. Work on the Yuma Valley levees has been finished for the season. The leyee Is now intact from Yuma to the Mex ican boundary and for this entire distance it is sufficiently high to stand any Colorado rise of record, and all but two miles of it Is nigh enough to keep out the highest know n Giia flood.
 The Farmers Gravity Canal is in shape to supply water when the river gets high enough, and the con crete headworks, and the concrete for tte scoop wheel which is to be installed later, are provided. The pump on the Farmers Pump Canal has been operated continuous ly during April.

smartness of line and appearance, the idea of usefulness is never overlooked.
 Marvellous are some of the newesl models for 1908 in their compactness and capacity, as well as in the beauty of their fittings and that perfection of detail and finish which appeals ire sistibly to people of refinement.
 For carriage and auto use there are some especially attractive things. Very flat bags of all the fashionable leath- CTS, to be carried-in the present fashion-under woman's arm; little leather kits-like a dolls suitcase in size and form-fitted with every requi- site for a hasty toilet, from manicure implements to salYe and jewelry box es. The fittings are of sterling silver, gold plated and monogrGmmed, while a small cloth slip comes with each kit, slipped over it when travelling to save the leather from being scratched or marred. The whole case with it's contents measures only seven by eight inches when closed, and is only 31s inches thick.
 A pocketbook of fine lizard, snake, or velvet pigskin that measures eight inches in length by about three in width is designed for use with the modish muff that will soon be an indis- pensable accessory of milady's toilet Here again the design is as practical as the appearance is elegant Nothing mars the smooth delicacy of finish In this purse, and there is no metal to wear out dainty muff Things Ex cept for the tiny skeleton clasp this pocketboOk depends for it's smaTtness solely on the fineness of it's leather, it's perfect finish and its novel shape.
 The gauntlet gloves in the sketch are the very latest smart wrinkle for wear with tailored attire. The flaring cuff is both practical and distinctive, with the long coatsleeve, while the tiny monogram on one glove only is a matter to be decided solely by indi- vidual taste.

NATIONAL FOREST
 IN SANDOVAL COUNTY
The President Adds 197t20 Acres to Jemez Tract in
 New Mexico,

WASHINGTON May 16.-The president has just signed a proclal,,a- ton adding 197.120 acres of land to the Jemez National Forest in Lu,, north-central part of New Mexico. This addition is located in SandoyaI county on the southwest side Of the forest and covers a large part of the headwaters of the Ric Puerco river and the high mesa country lying west of the stream and including the Mesa de Cuba and portions of the Ceiita Blanca.
 The addition puts an important body of yellow pine timber under forest management. Much of this tmberland will average 4000 feet per acre and it is estimated that the ad- d1tion contains altogether appIoa1- mately 35,000,000 board feet of saw timber. The remainder of the addi- tion outside cf the yellow pine area is covered with dense stands of jun iper and pinon, which win average 10 cords per acre. This pinon and cesar constitutes some of the best of it's kind in the territory.
 Besides it's importance from a tim Der standpoint, this addition Ls aIso essential to the forest on account of the necessity of protecting the head waters of the Rio Puerco. A reser- voir has been proposed on the Rio Puerco, near Casa Salazar, which will bring under cultivation large areas of valuable agricultural land.
 At the present time the watershed of the Rio Puerco has been badly iu- jured by sheep, particularly on ac- count of the migration of large bands up and down the valley, which has resulted in the country washing badly, with great damage to the fer tile land in the valleys through the formation of deep arroyos. By the proper regulation of grazing, much Of this harmful erosion could be pre- vented without any very great reduc- uon in the number of sheep occupying the range, because most of the da-n- age is done by improper handling of the stock, instead of by the pcesence of an excessive number. The inter- ests of the stock.nen will be given very careful consideration and a strong efforU will be made to regulate the use of the range in a way which will be beneficial to them
 Because q an almost total lack of water through the greater part of this locality there is practically no settlement, except immediately along the Rio Puerco in the southern DOT tion of the addition.
 The chief industry in this locality consists of grazing sheep and goats both during the winter and summer The numbers are largest when there is sufficient show for watering

SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
 AIDED BY UNCLE SAM
Prosperity Comes From OeveI- opment and Utilization
 of Irrigation Water.

Ground-water work in the arid West often bears a most intimate re-
 lation to the prosperity or even the
 very existence of the communities effected. In regions where the an
 nual rainfall is 10 inches or less, sv
 that agriculture and horticulture
 products can be carried on only by
 irrigation, the question of water
 supply, whether that supply be sur
 face or underground, Is a question
 of commercial life or death for the
 particular community concerned In
 those parts of the arid West tha. are best known and most thickly settled,
 the available supply of surface waters has, as rule, been long since pre-empted, and during a decade or more hydraulic engineers have turned
 their attention to underground
 sources as the ones most likely to provide an increased water product and consequently growth in popula- ton and prosperity.
 The great San Joaquin valley vl south-central California, embracing approximately 12,000 square miles, is one of these areas whose surface
 waters are fully utilized and whose
 engineers are considering the possi- biiity of developing other sources in order that the great agricultural in
 dustries. now thriving may be prop erly sustained and encouraged Re cent investigations by the United
 States Geological Survey lead to the conclusion that this great valley is peculiarly favored in the quantity. quality and accessibility of its ground waters. They have been utilized to some extent in certain areas, notably about Stockton and in the vicinity of Corcoran. In the neighborAood of Stockton hundreds d windmills. many of them homemade and of crude construction, are utilized .s~ pump ground waters to be applied to the irrigation of small, but intensive ly cultivated garden tracts Recently pumping plants have been introG~v,u, and these generally Of small capac- ity, but their increased use in the future is assured by their reliabil- ity as compared with a device that can be operated only during favor able winds of sufficient strength.
 Corcoran, which is a colony estab- lished by enterprising men from the southern part of the state, is located in the center of the great artesian area that occupies the trough of the valley, and it's existence from the very beginning has been conjoinef with the development and utihzatEol-- d the ground waters. Wells in t4is region are from 800 to 1900 fesd deep and yield waters that rise to the surface in considerable volume. The practicability Of the use of waters for all agricultural purposes in this region has been proved by the success of the business enterprises dependant upon them. Other colonies have been established farther south In the valley, which likewise depend upon artesian or pumped waters, but they have not yet reached the advanced stage of development that the colony at Cor coran.

Dress Economy,

A very well-dressed woman laid down a law about spending money on clothes that would be wisdom for every woman to follow: Put all your money in street suits and economize nn your indoor frocks." The common sense of this is easy to see. A cloth suit needs the finest cut material, and pressing. for it has to stand rough wear, storm and often nasty adjust ment
 An evening gown soils easily, be- comes frayed and draggled and must be discarded quite soon no matter how costly the material.
 Carefully dressed women who under. stand this are the ones who are now making the best bargains in mex JensiYe but pretty fabrics for night wear.

PRETTY IN LEATHER
NOVELTIES OF THAT MATERIAL
 NOW FAVORED.
Mest Attractive Are the Little Accss sorles So Popular with the We'll Dressed Woman---Gauntiet
 Gloves Are Smart.

Leather plays a more important part each succeeding season in the fur nishings and fittings of those smart accessories that are an indispensable part of every well-dressed woman's outfit. The display of imported leath- CTS is unusually varied and in the array are many articles both novel and useful and very smart in line and finish.
 One of the prettiest and most at traetive of the just unpacked novelties is small balloon-shaped bag that will hold change, paper money, handker- chief perhaps, and still leave a corner for one of those tiny leather opera glasses that fold into small oblong case and that every woman either owns or wants to own. The Ritz" is the name of this particular bag and it is made of new black patent leather, warranted not to crack or split or do any of the mean tricks that patent leather has been capable of doing. The lining is white moire silk, the frame gold plated and little change purse is attached inside, with slender gilt chains that insure it's safety and make most attractive appearance.
 The Ritz is almost the only bag whose proportions suggest rotundity. The prevailing fad is for very fat shapes. even in bags designed for travelling, while all the various car riage and shopping bags are notably hat and very large, so that their ca- pacity is not impaired by their fat ness. In the best leather goods the idea of fitness is pre-eminent, and however much attention is given to

who sold early at prices below

should not worry over the loss of
the difference between the low

tell what variation in prices will
be- Perhaps next year the early

grower must exercise his best
judgement and sell when he
