Board of Land Commissioners,
Kansas City, Missouri:
Dear Sir-At the request and through the courtesy Of Mr..
D. Zimerman, I have lately visited the location Of your contem-
plated irrigation system in the Pecos valley. I feel that you ought
to congratulate yourselves and your engineer for finding such a
natural reservoir so closely located to this exceptionally fine
body of land. If you were to hunt the length and breadth of the
arid west I doubt if you could find as large a tract of land lying
so nearly ideal for irrigation.
In the Pecos valley the question of water supply Is one of
very great Importance. However, it is my opinion that when
i~rrigators are trained to the proper use of water, and the available
water in the valley is conserved, there will be sufficient for all
needs. I understand that you contemplate allowing one second
foot for each eighty acres of land. Judging from experience and
observation in different sections I would place the intelligent
economical duty of water on these lands at $50 acres per second
foot.
With the natural resources at your command, wisely used,
we look forward to see where is now sage and mesquite, hundreds
of prosperous, happy homes.
We trust you will make MANY blades Of grass grow where
ONE grows now. Yours truly,
[signed] W.. L. ROCKWELL. /

INTEMPERANCE GROWING LESS

From the preliminary reports OF
the commissioner of internal revenue
II appears that there was cOnsidera-
Bile reduction in the amount of spir-
it, distilled in the fiscal year ending
June 30. The loss in revenue to the
treasury was $15,767,038, repre-
senting falling of in production of
14,333.672 gallons during the year,
and leaving the total for the year at
19,80S,402. The per capita con-
sumption last year was 1.63; for the
year closing June ii would be about
40 gallons.
Just what influence the wave OF
prohibition has had in this showing
cannot he told More likely Is it
that. instead of being due to legis-
lation, the encouraging reports re-
garding the consumption of whisky
are result of the fact that the
business world is discouraging the
drink habit more strongly every
year, The young man is realizing
that ii doesn't pay to be drinking
man. AS the public, from the bust
ness and moral standpoint. frowns
more and more upon the custom of
in that proportion will the
use of intoxicants decrease. 1t may
rot be the quickest way to effect a

most effective and lasting.
