WHICH E HIGHLY MiH:2ALlEO
This Valley is Likely 10 Attract Consider a5Is Attention in tae Near Future, Ogjng to Fresh Discoveries Of Gold Bearing Ground

l ne hONukuk riVer 1OluS the Yukon rom the NorlhWest about ,.5o miles from Boring sea. Its drainage basin has an area about the same extent as the Panama, viz. 25,oOo square miles, and includes the southern range of the Rocky mountain system, which here forms the Nukon-A1ctic waterSh The length oi the koyukuk including is largest fork IS over 300 miles and it measures round its bends GOO or 700 miles.
 The following description is taken from the report Of A. H. Brooks, ot t.e |. $. geological survey:
 Between the Arctic circle and latitude 66 50 the river splits up into a number of forks Of these the Middle fork rises north ot lati tude 6S near the northern margin oi the range and for 100 miles oC- Cupies 2 mountain valley which is sharply trenChed 10 a depth of 2,ooo 10 :, 500 feet below the sum- mits. The valley ot the North fork is about TO miles west of the Middle tork and probably has the same general character. Both forks make southWestcrly bends before they come together to form the koyuEuk river proper in loWland which stretches southWard from the edge ot the mountains.
 Wild creek joins the Koyuhuk a few miles below the junction of the two forks, flows southeasterly ill its upper course, but like the other rivers described 1t makes southwest bend near where it leaves the mountains.
 The lower reaches of the North and Middle forks and Wild creek lie i'll a broad valley basin which is about twenty miles long and five miles wide at its upper end, but which narrOWs to two miles near the mouth of Wild creek. Gently sloping walls bound the basin, which has level and silt-covered floor, and at is southern end mergeS into the Koyukuk flats.
 Fifteen miles below the junction of the North and Middle forks the John river is continent from the north. It rises near the northern margin of the mountains, and tra- verses nearly the entire range be- fore 1t enters the plateau region. The valley walls of the John river rise precipitously, and the lower reaches, broad and level, merge into the flats of the upper Koyu- kuk.
 A few miles above the mouth of the John river the koyukuk enters a low silt-covered flat, about 10 to so miles long and 20 to 90 miles wide. The eastern rim ot this flat is outlined in part by the South fork, which joins the koyukuk from the east, close to the Arctic circle. it flows in general south westerly, parallel to the Middle fork and to the upper koyukuk, and traverses the eastern margin of the koyukuk flats. bends sharply to the west, and joins the Koyukuk after traversing the loWlands.

EXPERIMENTAL FARhING
University Experts Studying Soil and Climate and Testing Crops in
 The Valley.

Prof. c. w. Shaw, supervising field work of the agricultural department of the State University is making a study of soil and climatic conditions in Imperial Valley with especial ref erence to the growing of citrus fruit.
 The professor appears to be little dubious about orange culture because someone reported ten years ago that he had observed temperature of 13 degrees and ice two inches thick somewhere in Imperial County. Mo- body in the valley ever heard of such a record. however. The lowest temperature observed at Bl Centro, In the past three years was 26 degrees above early in the morning on Jan uary &, 1910, and last winter was the coldest in the experience of the old est settlers. Orange and lemon trees were not injured. although some very young nursery stock was damaged by frost.
 The University experimenters are growing this year at Heber fifteen varieties of cotton, including Egyptian and Sea Island. ''It has been report ed that Sea Island boIls do not open in this climate. but the university men are not convinced and propose to see for themselves.
 Experiments with various forage and fertilizer crops are being conduct ed at the Heber station.

IRRIGATION CENSUS
Expected to Develop Exact and Prae ticsI information as Extent of
 Reclamation.

The Census Bureau Is proceedns actively with the irrigation investi- gation required by act of Congress ap- proved February 25th last. It is ex- pected to develop exact and practical information relative to the investment of capital in the various projects and enterprises, and also as to the arid and semi-arid states of the Union. Irri- gation experts estimate that there are between 40,000,0O0 and 5O0OO,OOO acres of land susceptible of irritation. of which about one-thlrd are actually un- der irrigation. Of the latter there are fully 5,000,00O acres not yet taken up by settlers. It Is estimated that the completion of this work will add to the farm area of the United States an acreage equaling the farm area contained in the New England states.
 In 1902 the Reclamation law was en- acted, providing for the construction of irrigation works by the Federal Government under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, with the funds arising from the sale of public lands. Up to the present time this fund amounts to about $50 ,OO0, 900, and works, which are estimated to cost about $120,0OO,OO0. to supply water to 3,O00000 acres, have been commenced
