The Great Clear

suaeines OF the stream maintainsd
BY my assistant In charge Of the
construction. The winter flow Of the
stream. from November 1st TO April
list, inclusive, ~ shown on the state
mont, 10 about the normal flow for
that season. For the balance Of the
season the run-oH shown In the state
msnt 10 above normal: that 10 to
cay. the flow Of 1907 was higher
than usual, nearly twice ~ much
- for this year 90 far. though this
year 10 undoubtedly above normal.
Ny Judgment 10 that the normal win.
ter flow will fiIi the reservoir. The
water stored during that period would
b available for the early supply to
the Canal system during the month
Of May, and the reservoir could
again be filled during the months Of
June and July for use In the later
months Of the irrigation season. Au-
gust and September.
Third attach copy Of the Head
gate Keepers record Of the flow Of
water In the canal system during
1907 and 1909, which. In conjunction
with the flow Of Clear Creek, gives
the best Idea Of the assistance the
reservoir will BE- to the canal sys-
tenn. For instance, In 1907 the
canal got no direct supply from the
river In April. and for only six days
In May. Had the reservoir been
completed. the stored water would
have given the 10000 aeees under
the canal system n supply Of prae-
tieaiiy ons-half acre foot per acre
In these months, six inches In depth
over the whole area. The reservoir
would again have been filled In
June and July and supplied the whole
area with another one-haK acre foot
per acre In August and September,
when the canal only got water d.
rectiy from the river four and one
and one-half days respectively. In
other words, In addition to any water
obtained directly from the river, the
reservoir would ordinarily supply one
acre foot per acre for the total area,

and that at seasons Of the year
when Il was most required for the
most profitable character Of crops.
! may add that Il 10 my opinion
that the reservoir will bs eomplst.
ed this year, ~ ! have made ar.
rsnsements with the contractors to
expedite the work, having purehas.
ed another steam shovel and quad.

event the construction, without any
question. will be sufficiently far ad.
vaneed to permit the storage Of the
winter flow, any uneompIstsd work
being cared for In the spring Of 1909,
before the period Of high water.
will state further. that In my
opinion the otsro Canal, reinforced
by the Clear Creek Reservoir, will
furnish ample water to fully irrI-
gate the 10000 aerss Of land In the
otero District.

was proposed that the membership be

first opportunity to purchase.
A petition signed by the requisite num-

with the death of Mr.. Hartman has

cited as affording indisputable proof that
the getting of money and swinging of big

shattered nervous system.
If you are inclined to be argumentative

embarrassing questions you can find that
there have been far more cases Of indi-
gestion among men who didn't amount to
anything than among those who did; that
hairlessness, even, is not confined to bill
lionaires; that the possession Of Ill health

often with a disposition to loaf and com

has been a practical and successful optimisI
