Las Vegas Artesian Well Great Success

The last we'll to be drilled for artesian water in Las Vegas
Valley, Clark County, Nevada, has proved a wonder. At a depth of
only 40 feet the drillers were surprised at the tremendous flow Of
water encountered. A careful measurement was made and it is
reported that go miners inches Of water are flowing from the 12-inch
casing. The news caused considerable excitement, every one being
surprised at this unexpected development, the largest well bored to
this time flowing only about rs inches
So far in the water development Of this valley, says the Las
Vegas Age, every well has been a success. Some Of the wells are
small, but the least of them are worth far more than they cost 1t
is supposed by many that this is the FIRST well that has been driven
into the main flow of the underground waters and that the wells
already drilled would have their flow wonderfully increased by
sinking to greater depth.
The success of the Miller we'll gives new encouragement to
those who are trying to build up the agricultural interests of the
Vegas Valley and will result in much more rapid progress in open
ing rp new ranches. Not the least important feature is the fact
that while the cost of the new we'll was less than $500, and the land
on which it is located was valueless Government land only q short
time ago, the property now is worth between $50 and 500 per
acre. The productiveness of the soil has been amply demonstrated
by the success of the ranching operations the past year, and the
future of Las Vegas Valley as one of the garden spots of the world
is now doubly assured.
We are informed that Mr.. Miller is driving this new well to
greater depth to thoroughly demonstrate the possibilities OF that
neighborhood.

Prices Of Food Supplies To Consumers

In many respects this season is proving to be one Of the most
fortunate in the yields of its crops and the supply Of farm products.
Yet an increasing cost of living, SO far as determined by foodstufs.
is the experience of practically every householder. The family
budget has constantly to be overhauled and to families of small
income there is no doubt an increasing necessity to pare down the
quantity and quality of eatables required to maintain its members
in q we'll nourished condition.
This tendency Of rising prices affects the life of the people at
its source, because the vitality of every portion of the population is
largely determined by the kind and the quantity of food with which
it can be supplied. 1t is this aspect of the question of the cost Of
living that makes the matter important enough for citizens to insti-
tute an inquiry in every large centre of population as to what is
responsible for the increase in the cost of food supplies.
A commission of public spirited men and women acquainted
with popular conditions, and who have capacity to command inves
tigating talent of the right sort, would go far to show whether or
not the ~distributive system, as at present concerned with food sup
plies, is really getting an undue share of the cost to the consumers
of these and kindred commodities. says the San Francisco Journal
of Commerce.

Simple Rule For Water Measurement

The information generally obtained on this subject is of SO
technical q character that it is Ineligible only to the engineer.
The following, furnished by the Pelton Water Wheel Company,
gives a simple explanation of a method by which any one of ordi-
nary intelligence can easily and accurately measure the water of a
stream or ditch.
Select q stretch on stream or ditch which will afford a straight
and uniform a course as possible, avoiding pools or distractions to
the normal flow. If the water is at any point carried in a fume it
is better to measure at this point. Lay off a distance OF, say, 100
feet; measure the width of flowing water at about six different
places in this distance, and obtain the average width; likewise at
these same points measure the depth OF the water at three or four
places across the stream, and obtain the average depth. Next drop
q float in the water, noting the number Of seconds it takes to travel
the given distance. From this can be calculated the velocity Of the
water in feet per second. The cubic quantity is the product OBJ
tanned by multiplying the average width in feet by the average
depth in feet by the velocity, which lin feet per second) will givs
the flow of the stream in cubic feet per second. From the fguree
so obtained it is advisable to deduct about rs per cent, as the sur
face velocity of water is in excess of the actual average velocity.

POISONING SMALL PESTS
Report On Method OF discriminating
Squirrels, Cophers and Rabbits

Report On Method OF Exterminahng
Squirrels, Cophers and Rabbits
Interesting results have just been an
nounced by the Forest Service as q result
Of the campaign conducted in Southern
California by Stanley f. Piper, Expert Of
the Biological Survey Of the Department
of Agriculture, TO exterminate ground
squirrels and gophers.
Extensive experiments were tried to
determine the best means Of killing of
these destructive little animals, and it
was found that most effective results
we're obtained by using poisoned green or
opening barley heads. The squirrels are
exceedingly fond Of this green heritage.
and eagerly ate the poisoned food placed
along their runways. Tests were also
made with oats, wheat, barley. ~raisins.
prunes. dried apples, and cracked corn.
but these did not prove 80 successful.
While green barley proved most sue
cessful for poisoning ground squirrels, yet
the difficulty of procuring q sufficient
supply in all localities led to dried barley
grain being tried. The grain was treated
with %strychnine sulphste, saccharine.
and eggs, and although this combination
proved very destructive to the squirrels.
it had practically no effect upon doves
and quail. In fact, a deliberate attempt
was made to poison these birds at their
watering places, but no bad effect re-
suited. The poisoned grain was also
used in fields grazed over by sheep and
produced no i'll effects whatever.
The experiments also proved that go
piers were partial to rsisins and dried
apples. and these we're successfully used
in the poison experiment. 1t vas found
that by sprinkling the apples or raisins
with the strychnine solution, as effective
results were produced as could be OBJ
tanned by inserting the poison into the
fruit.
The experiments for determination OF
| squirrels also resulted in the death OF a
considerable number OF rabbits. and in
other experiments it was found that
poisoned oats proved very effective in
killing both jacks and ~cottontails. Green
alfalfa was also used with good results
for the same purpose.

The Coming Building Material

Concrete is as old as the Roman empire, but it is only Of late
years that Portland cement has been known; and that the wonderful
combination of cement and steel-rsinforced concrete-has become
an important factor in building operations, especially in supplanting
structural steel
The constituents of concrete are not only unlimited in guam
tiy, but they are widely distributed, SO as to be cheaply procurable
in every section of the country; and when properly made it seems
to be not only the equal, but in many respects the superior, of the
very best building stone, excepting probably the question Of appear
ance. Sand and rock or gravel are, of course, present in every State
in the Union in absolutely iuexhaustible quantities. and the materials
for the manufacture of cement are only slightly less widely distrib-
uted and plentiful.
