period. No restrictions were included
in this agreement as to the amount
this company should charge the peo-
pie of Phoenix. The receipts are used
to diminish the operation and main
tenance of the canal system.
40. The enlargement of the canals
has been expensive, owing to the ne
cessity of carrying on work while
the bitches were in use, as the irri-
cation season lasts throughout the
entire year on this project
Al Summary-G This project
is located within the limits of the
Territory of Arizona.
"(2) The area in the project
amounts to about 10000 acres under
the gravity system and about 10000
acres by pumping. The-e is no cub
lie land subject to the exclamation
act.
"(3) 1t is doubtful whether the
water supply is sufficient for the
who'll area proposed.
20 The total estimated cost is
1855 600 of which about $4,000 900
has been expended. The project is
over SO per cent completed.
90 The land can readily return
a cost OF construction Of from $45
To $50 per acre.

cal standpoint

nomially practicable until finished.
"(S) Allotments: The following
allotments are recommended for the
four years. 1911-1914, inclusive: From
the loan, s495, 600"
1t is gathered from the report that
in its entirety the board approves the
project. its plans and administration.
Its only doubt seems To be the ability
of the gravity water supply to amply
water 10000 acres and the pumps
to supply 10000 acres. in which event
the reservoir will cost the lands that
are titled a little more per acre than
the estimated S42. for initial con-
struction. statement is also made
i'm one of the eliminated paragraphs
that the annual rainfall on the lands
to be irrigated is from 3 To inches.
Though the rainfall here is admittedly
too small To quarrel about il may
he said that the weather bureau gives
81 inches as the average rainfall
and the past year, said to be the
dryest within memory gave rain
fall of over five inches. Also the
board hesitates about endorsing four
feet per acre as an ample irrigation
supply, though il seems to be APP
proved by the practical farmers of
the valley.

to about five acre-feet per acre per an

diverted, seepage and evaporation
losses in the canals are added at the
rate of ! per cent per mile. The recla-
nation service assumes duty Of four
acre-feet per acre. which in view of the
character of the land and the length
of the season. is believed to be small
&c. The shortage that would have
existed in the past had the entire flow
of the salt river been impounded, the
necessary reduction in the amount i'm
pounded to provide for prior rights,
and the high duty Of water assumed
all lead to the belief that the water
supply is insufficient for the proper
irrigation Of the 10000 acres under the
gravity unit.
-. Lands-The proposed total acre
age under this project is 100000 acres,
the area to be irrigated depending up
on the quantity of the water supply
available. which has not yet been fully
determined. There is more land suit
able for irrigation than can be supplied
with water. All of the land is in priv
ate ownership Of which $4,000 acres
are school lands. II is expected by the
reclamation service that about 100. 600
acres will be irrigated by gravity and
the remainder by pumping from wells.
The power which is available at vari-
out points of the project is to be de-
veloped and used for this purpose"

basis rather than having a greater
quantity over a smaller area. Two
crops are often raised in the same sea-

acres under cultivation. This0a area is

Adaptabllity of Brain.

Each vocation makes a different cali

and qualities peculiar to itself, so that
as the various professions, trades and
specialties multiply, the brain takes
on new adaptive qualities, thus CIV

civilization as a mass. When the
world was young the brain of man
was very primitive, because the de-
mand upon it was largely for self
protection and the acquisition of
food, which called only for the de-
velopment of its lower, its animal
part. AS civilization advanced, how
ever, there was higher call upon
the brain and a more varied develop
