and others familiar with the conditions
that the next five years will witness the
homestead and Smoot acts.
Thousands Of acres have been acquired In
Utah during the last year, under the en-
larged homestead entry and the filing on
dry farm areas continues at a surprising
rate.
Land heretofore looked upon as worth
less is being located and made productive
under the improved methods OF dry farm

When this rush for farms can be no
longer accommodated, land values through
out the United States either win increase
or the lands under cultivation will be made
% yield greater returns by more scientific
methods Of farming. All other things being
equal, supply and demand must determine
values, and that means. with a lessened
land supply and with an increasing demand
for the products Of the soil higher prices
must prevail for productive farms.
The knowledge that the day is fast ap-
preaching when the last Of the public
domain shall be transferred TO private
ownership, IS stirring thousands OF the
landless TO hasten TO the west TO obtain a
farm before il is too late.

average two acres of land
Enlarging the reservoir so as to provide
5000 or more additional shares, the annual
rental value Of these shares would be from
$1,000 to $4,000. It is evident that If the
cost Of the additional storage will not
much exceed $4,000. the rent value Of the
water thus obtained would pay for the
total outlay in less than two years.
A revenue Of s125,OO0 year is assured on
the 5,OOO-horse power OF electric energy to

The present Indebtedness Of the com
pany, amounting TO $4,000, being the IN

OF water storage.

OGDEN. March 3,-(Special)-A large
power plant. as a part Of the irrigation
system Of the Davis and Weber Counties
Canal company will be constructed this
year. The work viii begin in the spring.
The power house win be located TO the
south OF Ogden where 5.O0o-horse power
will he generated from the canal waters.
The Davis and Weber Counties Canal
company enterprise is holding the atten-
ton Of irrigation engineers throughout the
country. as 1t affords practical demon
stration Of the value OF water storage for
irrigation and power purposes.
Samuel Fortier. a government engineer,
has made a report which is testimonial
20 the wisdom Of those who have developed
the system. II Is an authoritative state
ment as 20 the merits OF water storage and
appropriation. as Il deals with concrete
example OF water conservation and ap-
plication and proves the possibilities Of
irrigation. Air. ForIier gives history Of
the undertaking., In which he says;
Company u Organized.
some twenty-five years ago an irri-
cation enterprise known as the Davis
and Weber Counties Canal company, was
incorporated for the purpose OF dlyerting

a uaet OF land southeast Of ogden. Utah.
Being one OF the late appropriations on the
stream. the eompeny was entitled TO a
portion Of the annual flow only when
there was a surplus In the river Usu-
ally about july ] OF each year. when the
discharge OF the stream was needed by
prior appropriations. the company was COM
PEELED 90 close It's headgates and 10 keep
them closed up throughout the remainder
Of the crop-Erowius season. The earlier
irrigauons suffced Tor the raising Of grain
and hay and sometimes FOR a second crop
OF alfalfa but orchard trees and late
vegetables could not be raised with any
assurance OF success. This condition Of
affairs continued for a period OF mcrt
then ten years, when the company began
20 take steps % store water Tor the lattei
part of the irrigation season In the sum
mer of 1854 an excellent site for a dan
was discovered on East Canon creek. IN,
largest tributary Of Weber river, and tive
years later work on the structure was be-
gun. Funds TO the extent OF 5000 were
Omaha daily bee., 1911-03-04

secured and with this amount the structure
was raised some ninety-five feet above
bedrock giving an available depth OF water
of fifty-three feet in the reservoir and a
capacity OF 167,5OOOOO cubic feet.
Before stored water from the reservoir
was available the farmers under the sys-
TEN we're not in a prosperous condition.
The hard times Of the early sos had low
cred the value Of all farm produce Al
falfa was selling in the stack for about
$500 a ton, and grain brought even less
returns. Shares in the company. having
a par value of 5000 each, were selling at
from $40 to Sl2, and the price OF good agri-
cultural land ranged from SO to $50 per
acre. A fair valuation Of the property
OF the company at this time would not
have exceeded S250,OO0.
The use of stored water proved so vaIu-
able in supplementing the flood flow from
the river that in 1900 the height Of the dam
was increased twenty-five feet at cost
OF $4,000, thereby increasing the capacity
to SS7, $40 200 cubic feet which supplied the
farmers under the system with a continu-
Gus flow OF seventy cubic feet per second
for sixty days Two years later the COM
pany decided to add seventeen feet more
10 the height OF the dam, thus increasing
the available depth to 100 feet and making
the total height OF the structure las feet
above bedrock. At this level the reservoir
has a capacity Of about 100000 cubic
feet. or 1880 acre feet.
'The benefits which have been accrued
TO the stockholders Of this company as
result Of applying large quantities Of reser-
voir water have been phenomenal There
is perhaps no enterprise Of like kind in
the west which has made so rapid a
growth in the last ten years and none is
IN a more prosperous condition financially.
The shares of stock which could not be
sold for Sl2 In 1898 are now selling for
Si75 and even higher, and the prospects
are good for a further increase. A CON
sentative estimate Of the value OF the
property Of the company al this time would
considerably exceed 100000, and unim-
proved land under the system is now
worth from 500 10 500 per acre without
water. improved irrigated lands frequently
changing hands at 500, and occasionally
at Soo and over.
Water Increased Values.
This marked increase IN the value Of
all real estate under the system has been
due 10 a number OF causes, but principally
TO the water obtained from the storage

to maintain About 30 cubic feet per
second has been crowded into the main
canal, but so large a volume is not safe
and 100 cubic feet represents the present
safe carrying capacity. 1t is now pro-
posed to increase the capacity to 725 cubic
feet per second from the intake to the
site of the power plant, and to as cubic
feet per second below the power plant.
The water users when this Improvement
is made will thus receive from the flood
waters OF the river 40 cubic feet per sec
ond instead of leo feet as at present.
1T is likewise proposed TO line the upper
ten miles OF the canal with a heavy layer
of cement concrete in order TO prevent
loss Of water by seepage, increase its
carrying capacity by reducing friction,
make use Of fun head earlier in the
spring and lessen the cost of operation
and maintenance. Apart altogether from
the profits to be derived from the sale
Of electric current, the benefits OF such
improvements TO the irrigators will more
than compensate them for the money ex-
pended.
Il have examined the East Canon reser-
voir dam and am fully convinced that II
would be both feasible and advisable TO
Increase the present height OF the struc-
ture so as to double or nearly double the
present capacity. The plans include the
widening OF the present base the eXcava-
ton Of a second tunnel at about the ninety
foot level with controlling gates, the ex-
tension of the steel core and its thorough
protection, the building OF a permanent
concrete waste-way and the raising Of the
dam some forty five feet will provide a
total capacity OF 27,OOO acre feet. The
cost Of this extension has been somewhat
roughly estimated at $4,000. or less than
$50 per acre foot for the additional stor-
age. The water shed Of East Canon
creek Is one OF The best in the state as
regards precipitation, and it is believed
the run-off from this stream viii provide
for the increased storage contemplated.
am also OF the opinion that the structure
can be made as safe when raised 20 the
l45-foot level as il now is al the lO0-foot
level
Big Area Irrigated.
About 1900 acres are now irrigated by
using the flood water from the river and
the storage water from the reservoir In
conveying this water there is a large
amount OF loss in both the main canal
and the distributaries. The lining OF the
main canal will greatly lessen this loss.
The enlargement Of the reservoir 10 27.0Ol
acre feet and increasing the carrying
capacity Of the main canal from l60 cubic
feet 10 as cubic feet per second, togetheI
with the prevention Of loss due 10 seepage
