The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-06-15

There is no necessary relation be-
tween the existence of surface and sub
surface water supplies in a particular
district. But the conditions that are
most promising from the point OF view
of the irrigationist in the arid regions
are those existing in areas where both
types of water are found and can be
used to supplement one another.
The Valley of Southern California
is one of the most densely settled OF
the irrigated regions of the United
States and one on which most care
full use is made of all available waters.
Here all of the surface flow except the
uncomfortable floods is carefully util-
lied and nearly all irrigation enter
prises have supplementary pumping
plants which are used during the late
summer of ordinary years when
stream flow is at a minimum and for
much longer periods during the dry
wears. At such times the level OF the
ground waters is drawn down, to re.
cover again during the wet years when
supply is greatest and the draughts
upon the underground reservoirs are
lowest.
The underground basins in this way
serve their legitimate function OF
great storage reservoirs, by which the
abundant water of the wet years and
the wet seasons is conserved for use
during the dry years and the dry
seasons.

has already been carried out by pri-
vate capital, but since 1t is widely dit
fused, its amount is not generally re-
allied.
In the San Joaquin valley, with four
or five times the area of the Valley or
Southern California, there is an in
vestment of $1,000,000 in LOO flowing
wells and pumping plants that yield
800 second feet of water. Here the
nlerest beginning has been made in
the use of ground waters, and the
eventual investment and water prod
uct should be at least ten times what
they are now, with a resulting reclaim
alton of one-half million acres now I'M
productive, and an increase of twenty
five to fifty million dollars in land
values. 1t is probable that the greater
part of this growth will be brought
about by the installation of small
pumping plants owned by individuals
and controlled by their owners. This
is the best type of growth and one to
which the small pumping unit oper-
ated electrically or by gas or steam
engines is especially well adapted.
Within the arid and semi-arid Sec
lions of the West there are many
valleys with a limited surface supply,
or with none, in which sub-surface
waters exist in sufficient quantity and
sufficiently accessible to be practical

this resource must and will be utilized
much more extensively than it is now,
and as a result of it's use thousands
of homes will be established and mil
lions of capital will be profitably en-
ployed.
One of the points of especial value
about these waters is their suitability
for use by unassisted individual effort.
Small pumping plants of modern types
and moderate cost, belonging to and
controlled by the individual land own
err, are the characteristic means by
which this resource is used. Such
plants are already distributed far and
wide over the arid regions, and I'M
doubtedly represent in the aggregate
a much greater capitalization than the
entire reclamation fund, and a pro-
duction that will correspond with the
capital invested. Their number is des-
tined to be greatly increased because
the use that has thus far been made
of the ground waters Is but begin
ming in spite of it's magnitude. The
homes that will result will be partic-
ularly representative of individual ef-
fort and individual initiative, and so
will develop the type Of citizenship
that holds the greatest promise for the
future of the nation and race.

This combination of the use OF botn
the surface and underground waters
of a drainage basin results in one case
in Southern California, that OF the
Santa Ana river, in so thorough utll-
ization of the possibilities OF a stream
that in it's course from the mountains
to the sea- a distance OF only lOo
miles. it's waters are used seven or
eight times before they finally escape.
The waters that return from the lrrl-
cation are recovered in springs and
flowing wells, and by pumping plants,
a portion of the power developed high
err up on the stream being used for the
latter purposes.
This is an example of almost ideal
use of water, and it represents con-
dition that will eventually be the rule
instead of the exception, for in many
parts of the West these broad gravel
filled valleys exist, with abundant
ground water beneath them and Nv
ing streams flowing into them, whose
energy can be converted into electric
power and used to pump the waters
that saturate the gravels, so that they
may be made useful to man instead
of remaining idle.

State Officers Sworn In at Boise-Hey-

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 5.-The opposition
to Senator Hepburn has dwindled to
nothing. The new state administration,
solidly republican, headed by James H.
Brady as governor, was inaugurated
Monday. The inaugural ceremonies con-
sisted of the administering of oaths by
Chief Justice Sullivan before the legis-
lature. Both branches of the legislature
organized promptly, selecting attaches
as agreed upon by the republican eau
cuses.
At noon the new state officers entered
the house of Representatives. Ex-Gov.
ernor Gooding led the procession, which
alternated the old officials with the new,
and a semi-circle was formed around the
speakers desk. Invocation was made
by Bishop Funston. The oaths were
then administered in the house. McKin-
ley Of Twin Falls presented Paul Clag-
stone or Bonner for speaker, McCutch-
con of Bingham seconding. The mi
nority placed in nomination Charles B.

ship feet, completing two days ahead
of its schedule, the next to the longest
run of it's world-girdling cruise, arrived
at Suez, Egypt, Sunday, from Colombo,

Despite their long trip the warships
looked as smart and trim as though

Admiral Sperry, who expressed himself
as well satisfied with the cruise from
