need two irrigations after this month,
and surely the natural flow will take
care of May. so the reserve supply
cannot possibly be drawn upon before
the summer months. There are under
cultivation in the valley at this time
126,7171S acres mot counting the Ho-
tel Adams palm garden), and of this
% per cent is planted to grain which
will be beyond the need of irrigation
this month. Fifty-five per cent of the
acreage is in alfalfa, which needs con-
siderable water, though it can stand
pretty strong drouth without calam-
ity, but will not have &c this year. The
remaining % per cent of the acreage
is in diversified crops, some needing
much water some very little, but the
most urgent demands will be for 40
per cent of the diversified classified
tion, which comparatively small per-
centage is devoted to what the recla-
nation service lists as pasture" in
Guiding dairies etc. 1t will be seen by
a little calculation that the acreage
which will need thorough summer ir-
rigation will probably fall below 100,-
COO Almost the entire acreage may
need some, for few farmers will plant
other crops after their grain is har-
vested; a small percentage Will need
a large quantity of water, and large
percentage will need good ordinary ir-
rigation heads.
Perpetual Insurance.
SO much for the present summers
insurance, and now about the future.
Assuming, as seems quite rea-
sonable, that the present storage of 100
feet will be maintained in reserve I'M
til next winter, it will surely be a
mean, nasty scaly and represensible
sort of a winter season that will re-
fuse to add to the stored supply a
sufficient quantity to fill the basin
TO the fullness thereof, In the light of
the fact that in most preceding years
an ample quantity of rain and snow
have fallen to fill it completely. and
about half the time. as the last two
winters, for instance, sufficient water
has rolled down Salt river to fill the
basin several times.
And once the dam is finished, so far
as retaining walls are concerned. and
the basin is filled, as it certainly will
be some time very soon after the 1st
of January, 1910-anyhow, less than
year from now-what will it mean to
this valley 1t will mean 1,2S4,205
acre feet of stored water Surprising
that. then, the fountains of supply are
suddenly quenched entirely until the
stored water is xhausted-almost
inconceivable condition-and that the
clouds weep not during the same peri
cd, how long will it be before the land
is athirst and vegetation withers to its
undoing? Engineer l.. c. Hill is au-
thority for the statement that the res
ervoir, when full, will insure the val

ley lands an irrigation head, when
needed, for eighteen months of per-
petual and unbroken drouth. There
is no better time than now to demon
strate Mr. Hills conservatism and to
prove that he could not hold a job fiji
teen minutes with a real estate firm
trying to operate on fake boom.
Four feet per acre per annum is the
accepted standard of needed water
supply for irrigation in this valley.
That would equal six feet for eighteen
months Divide the amount stored by
six. and the acreage that could be pro-
tected for eighteen months would be
214,000. Suppose it became necessary
to go two years without rain. Divid-
ing the stored acre feet by eight gives
protection for two full years to over
100000 acres. or considerably over
thirty thousand more acres than are
now in cultivation in the valley, re-
CARELESS of whether they are signed
to the Salt River Valley Water Users
association or not. 1t is clear that Mr..
Hill, in his conservatism, is not think
ing of protection for the valley on the
acreage that might need it next year
the largest amount thus far conceived
as possible to bring under the reser-
voir protection, as the project Is now
calculated upon, in its fullest compile
ton and use. His figures are made
against a possible emergency that may
arise years later, when the demands
for protection will be greater than they
can possibly become for a long time.
And all this without taking into con-
sideration the auxiliary supply that
may be pumped from the ground and
which for the purposes of this article
may be thrown in gratis for good
measure, and without counting.
A Drouth Test.
No reasonable man expects that Salt
river and its watershed will ever dry
up completely, and the rains be with
held entirely for even one year; at
least, within any such period OF time
as science can now figure on; hut it is
quite within reason that there will be
dry years and drouths of some dura
ton when the supply will be limited;
wherefore, Mr. Hill is quoted again as

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWPORT Del, Dec. 2S-White Christ
mas was the first words uttered by the
residents Of Newport on Christmas morn
ing. To-day everyone have agreed that the
storm was the most severe one expert
enced since 1855. No trolley cars have been
running between Wilmington and stanton
since Saturday afternoon when two troll
ley cars became stalled in front Of the
hotel here. The conductors and motormen
Of the cars were provided with food by
the people of the town. as they could not
return to their homes in Wilmington. At
noon to-day a large force Of men was put
to work clearing the track, and also the
Newport pike TO make it possible for
travelling to be done, as the wind had
drifted the snow into hugh piles, several
feet high. 1t is hoped that by tomorrow
the trolley line will be in service.
A few farmers from this vicinity
tried early yesterday to reach Will
mington and Elsmere on their milk
routes. but were compelled to turn
back
Several local young people, who went
to Brandywine Springs Rink on Sat
urday had not reached their homes to-
day. and many Christmas home-com-
ings were deferred on account of the
storm.
One of the most unique religious SER
vices was held on Sunday evening in
one of the stalled trolley cars. The
service was conducted by the Rev. w
w. Sharp. and his congregation filled
the car. This was the first religious
service held in Newport on Sunday,
as it was impossible for the church
members to get to the churches.
The Christmas entertainment of the
Methodist Episcopal Sunday school.
which was to have been given on Tues
day evening, has been postponed until
later i'm the week Another enter
tainment, which was to have been
given on Monday night by the local
branch Of the Delaware Grange, was
also postponed.
Because several Of the men employed
by the Marshall Iron and Steel Works
failed to reach here to-day, the shift
for each man who worked was chang
, ed 70 twelve hours instead of the usual
eight hours, as the firm had many rush
orders.
