ottawa, ont, July 3l.-The Lib

Canada in an open address to the

Had Reciprocity in 1854
I'm 1891 Lord Elgin negotiated
with the United States treaty for
that purpose which lasted until 1866
and which within the memory of
many still alive, was of the creates,

prominence in Canada, whatever their
differences on other questions, have
been unanimous in the attempt again
to secure the free exchange of nat

"rhe latest attempt OF the Conser.

They Are Held in Slavery.
Every street in the Yoshiwara IS
lined on both sides with resorts and
all vie with one another in display
Until the recent fire the buildings
were among the most elaborate n
the city. And everyone had in front
of it a great cage, or show window
The cages in which the women are
shown are typical of the real slavery
i'm which they are held. Most OF
them are in the Yoshiwara, because
old Japan considered ii honorable foi
a woman to sell herself in order to
pay her fathers debts. From the
Shinto standpoint these girls are eN-
amples of filial piety. The 5000 or
$500 which a father receives for his
daughter seldom grows less, as the
proprietor manages TO keep her in
debt for clothes and Injuries. Even
the legislation which Japanese re-
formers and American missionaries
have obtained on this subject has
been nearly a dead letter.
Six Thousand Women in theFire.
The population of the Yoshiwara is
indicated by the fact that after the
recent fire. which destroyed the To-
shiwara. the number of women who
fled from the flames-not all sue
cessfullv however-was officially Civ
en- as six thousand. Practically all
of these were kept in hand by the
who have opened tempo
rarv quarters on the site OF the burn
ed structures.
The Christians especially, who try
TO maintain a New Testament stand
ard of life, are concerned over the
evil which puts Japan so far behind
the civilized nations. The sentiment
quickly crystallized and such social

DUTY AND MEASUREMENT OF
WATER

BY Don H. Bark, U. s. engineer in
charge of irrigation investigations
in Idaho.
The greater part of the land in the
west would be practically worthless
without water with which to irrigate
it, yet there is far less attention
given to the measurement of this
water than there is to the measure
ment of the land. Under the Carey
act the land is sold to the settler for
SO cents per acre and would hardly
be worth that without the water
while water costs the settler all the
way from $25 to 500 per acre. No
one would think of buying a farm or
any piece of property without having
its boundaries located by the county
surveyor or competent engineer, yet
nine out of ten irrigators accept the
water that is given them by the wa
ter master without measurement or
question, even though it is ten times
as valuable as the land to which it
Is applied. These conditions should
be changed. Every irrigator should
install measuring device in his head
ditch and learn how to measure wa
ter accurately and then see that he
secures whatever water he is enti-
tied to. We have been far too care

pOlRtment IN the future II we 20 to
the extreme and think we are going
to raise fruit without irrigation wa
ter. 1t is easy enough to raise trees
and many orchards have been raised
up to the bearing time with very
small use of water, but when a
crop of fruit has to be ripened right
at the very dryest time of the year
when wood growth has practically
ceased and otherwise the tree would
be using very little moisture, it will
be found that an orchard requires
as much water as any other crop and
If the water is short at that time a
few days may ruin the entire efforts
of the year. There is also another
factor to be kept in mind in the use
of the irrigation water, and that is
that the fruit buds for the next sea-
sons crop must be developed dur
ing the last part of July and August
of the preceding year, just at the
time that the greatest drain Is made
on the tree by the growing crop. In
our irrigation experiments on peach
es, we have been able by with gliding
water at this time to absolutely stop
the development of fruit buds.
There is also another factor to be
considered in irrigating the orchard.
Enthusiastic orchardists will take
one out, point to a young orchard and
say, Look at that, it has never had
drop of water" and / have looked
many tines and have seen trees fine
and healthy in appearance, but only
half or even one-third the size they
would have been had they been irri-
gated, and capable of carrying only
very small load of fruit, even IL
they had plenty of moisture to ma
ture it, SO that even If the orchard
should be irrigated from that time on

water.
Throughout all of the experiments
upon which the weir formula is based
certain conditions have been observed
with regard to the setting and plac-
ing Of the weir and these conditions
must be reproduced if it is expected
to secure accurate measurement. If
these conditions are rigidly carried
out, water can be measured with the
Cippoletti weir with an error of less
than l per cent. These conditions
apply equally to all weirs whether
triangular, rectangular or Cippoletti
1. The weir box should be set with
its floor even with the bottom of the
ditch and should be level in all direc-
lions. The weir itself should be ex-
actly level and perpendicular.
2. The channel leading to the weir
should be of uniform cross section,
or what is still better, should grad
ually enlarge as the weir Is ap-
preached. The axis of the stream
should pass through the weir and
to it; or, in other
words, the weir should be located at
right angles to the middle of the
stream. The advancing stream should
be free from internal cross currents
or eddies, as these have an influence
upon the discharge.
3. The water should be brought as
nearly as possible to state of rest
before it enters the weir. An excess
velocity of approach due to the We
locity of the advancing current will
affect (increase) the discharge more
than almost any other one thing.
This velocity can be reduced by wild
ening and deepening the box or pool
above the weir. It is calculated that
