SEEPAGE bitches PROVEN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL

in all enterprises of any mag
nitude we find cold water pourer:
and wiseacres who croak: "It
will never work. 1t will never
work. If Adam had been of the
same stri pc of man, he would
have looked upon Eve the morn
ing after he lost that rib and,
obviously shaking his head in
the face of the Almighty, have
said, "She II never work; she II
Eever work.
Fortunately for the physical
end cf the drainage proposition

company at Monte Vista. Further

completely and they drain the
land thoroughly. Crops are
growing to-day on these lands

you are not aware of this fact
~ have any doubts on the sub
ieot, take a trip up to the coun-
try southeast of Monte Vista and
b" convinced. The proof is there.
1t is an actual demonstration, con-
vincing to the most skeptical.
Again, there are those who,
through personal interests, decry
the plan of using irrigation bonds
and the proceeds thereof to con
struct sccpage bitches. Forum
ately we have, in California, sev-
eral legal precedents under a sim
liar law to Colorado wherein the
the sole supply Of water for irri-
cation districts is from seepage
bitches. The fact that the scep-
age ditch originates and is wholly
constructed within the district,
does not alter the case so long as
the water developed by such ditch
or bitches is used on some of the
lands of the district. 1t does
not need to be used on the par
ticular quarter section drained,
but may be used on any of the
other lands of the district that
lie lower down.
a seepage ditch six feet deep
along the west edge of your land
will effectively drain it as a
drainage ditch of equal depth To-
Gated on the same line. And the
water developed by the seepage
ditch, if constructed by an irri-
cation district, belong to you if
The La Jara chronicle., 1911-07-07

district, and you will always be
receiving the full value of that
water even though the current
price of water should rise to
$1,000 per second foot. But on the
other hand, if you give this water
away to private parties who pro
mote private drainage bitches, you
will not receive its value. They
will own it and it will be they
who will have it for sale and
who will reap the profit.
Then again, if you organize
small districts, the lay OF the
country is such that very little
of the water developed by the
small district can be used on the
lands of the district. Hence the
best you could do with the water
developed would be to sell it to
district whose lands lay lower, at
the market price, of course. But
remember, the market price to-
day is much less than it will be
a few years hence, when all the
land of the San Luis Valley is
drained and brought under cul
tivation. Also remember that
there is a little less than two
acres of mountainous land for
water shed for each acre of cul-
tivated land in the San Luis
Valley. And when all these lands
are in cultivation and their own
ers are calling for water, water
will be water and the price will
very probably be three or four
times as much as at present.
SO, whatever you do, save all
the water developed by the
drainage bitches for your own
benefit. THIS CAN ONLY BE
DONE BY FORMING LARGE
IRRIGATION DISTRICTS UN-
DER THE IRRIGATION DIS
TRICT LAW AND BY USING
THE WATER DEVELOPED IN
YOUR DISTRICT ON SOME OF
THE LANDS OF YOUR DIS
TRICT.
And again, in view of the limit
&C watershed area with which to
supply so vast an area within
the valley, reservoirs are neces-
sary to conserve and hold all the
wafer that now goes to waste. Get
yours at once, for reservoirs, like
bitches, get their water in order
OF priority-the first constructed
is to be the first filled. Don t
delay in securing the sites and
completing the plants. The day
will soon come, in the San Luis
Valley, when the early reservoirs,
like the early bitches, will be
the ones under whose systems
water RIGHTS will be highly appre-
ciated and which will command
the cash. There is really no com
parison of value between a water
right in an early ditch and a
right in one of the bitches of
later appropriation. The same
will soon be true of r, servoirs
for we are going to ed this
kind of water for general farm
ing. In fact, we need reservoir
water now for potatoes, sugar
beets and alfalfa.
The IN Y way to provide reser-
voir water for your lands is to
form an irrigation district.
The best way to secure drain
age of your lands is also by means
of seepage bitches constructed by
the same irrigation district, where
in the waters ddeveloped are
in the waters developed are
used on some of the lands of
the district.
All these improvements have to
be made sooner or later. And
the sooner the better.

FOREST NEWS

On June Goth, 247,OOO brook
trout fry We're received by the
Rio Grande National Forest from
the Government hatchery at
Leadville for distribution in
various streams and lakes within
that Forest.
OF this number sixty-five
thousand fries were placed in La
guna Escondida, or Lost Lake,
which has always been unstocked.
$4,000 fry were placed in the
headwaters of the Alamosa river
above the Asiatic mine.
The Rio Grande Fishermen S
association, co-operated with the
Forest Service in planting these
fish. 10000 fry were placed in
Rock creek, southwest of Monte
Vista. 10000 fry were placed in
the branches of Pinos creek,
south of Del Norte. $4,000 fry
were placed in Bellows Creek.
$4,000 fry were taken to Creede.
with the expectation that most of
the fish will be placed in Little
Squaw creek above the falls,
where there is several miles of
fine water which has never been
stocked because fish placed in
the Rio Grande river could not
ascend high falls about mile
from the mouth of the creek.
1t is expected that the Forest
Service will receive 10000 fry
soon for stocking certain waters
in the southern part of the
forest in the vicinity of Conejos
river.
Commercial clubs in La Jara
and Antonito co-operated in the
distribution and Hon. Luther A.
Norland rendered valuable assist
ance in distributing the fish in
Laguna Escondida.
Ranger George Widman has
been furloughed at his request
for six months, on account of the
condition of his health, and has
gone to the Pacific coast where
he hopes the low altitude will
improve his condition. Ranger
Strawn will have charge of
Ranger Widman's district near
South Fork.
There are several natural lakes
within the Rio Grande National
Forest for which permits have
been granted for fish culture by
the Forest Service. The condi-
tions under which these lakes
have been leased are such that
the permittee is required to per-
init fishing by the public during
the open season. 1t has been
reported that some permittees
have refused the public the pri-
vilcge of fishing in them. In or
der to protect the rights of the
public, notices will be posted on
the shores of these lakes inform
ing the public that the lakes are
open to them to fish in at all times
during the open season, and care
will be taken to see that holders
of these permits do not interfere
with the signs.

In a nutshell and briefly, the big
corporation-ftake for instance the
Steel trust) bonds issued for
twice what It's property is worth. pre-
ferred stock for double the value or
Its plants. and common stock equal to
the amount OF preferred stock ana
bonds. Now the corporations are ask
ing for government control. Foxy
fellows. On what basis? On their
own, OF course. You know what that
means. Now that they have these
corporations watered until nothing but
abnormal trade conditions can sus-
tain them, they want legislation that
will permit them to charge prices for
their product that will show sufficient
profit to pay dividends on that kind
OF capitalization. and they want to be
protected by our police and our mnitia
from any labor disturbance, should
strike occur resulting from the
grinding down of labor that IL sure
to come from trying TO hire that la
Dor at q price that will show dividends
on this fictious valuation.
In my estimation, the argument or
Mr.. Perkins. 1.-THE mouthpiece OF our
billion-dollar corporations)-is no
more reasonable than should farmer
owning hundred acres OF land with
its equipment and live stock worth
s15,000--and that amount actually In
yested-begin manipulation until he
had mortgaged or bonded. which 10
the same thing. 10 the extent OF $780,
600: then issued chattel mortgages,
which are similar to preferred stock.
TO the extent OF $4,000; then give
his notes, which compares with com
mon stock, to the extent Of $4,000. or
had these notes issued to be thrown In
with the purchase Of bonds or pre-
ferred stock, as Is always done with
these Big Biz deals. He would then
have a $4,000 property with 100000
obligation he Is trying to make pay.
Now this II no exaggeration when
compared with any OF the corpora
lions Mr.. Perkins is working for
and he IL working for them every min
ute. He n out on this stumping tour
at not less than $4,000 per year,
which is more than any 20 farmers in
Michigan have made this year, with
all our prosperity.
Well. we must get price for the
produce from this, $4,000 farm that
will permit us to pay dividends on the
$4,000 worth OF bonds and stock we
have Issued. Z
We will apply to the county board
of supervisors and II refused. we will
apply to the state legislature. and IL
that doesn't avail. we will appeal to
our government at Washington. Our
cry will be familiar one at the cap
.itol, and we will get what we want
the other tricksters and stock manip-
uiators do. II they won't do what We
