IRRIGATION PLANTS
BEING INSTALLED

Sometime ago we mentioned the ir.
rigation project of j. r. Doty, on the
old Reed ranch west of town, which
Mr.. Doty recently purchased and the
latrer part of last week we received
the following description of the plant
from Ralph Vandercook, of Ft. Pierre
civil engineer, who has surveyed and
plated the project;
81 have just finished the survey and
map for an irrigation project for Jas
7. Doty, of Kadoka, Mr.. Doty is a
pioneer in this particular branch OF
! irrigation and / am convinced thai
hundreds of people living on the high
lands throughout the county will fol-
low his example before another year
goes by, and will build reservoirs
large enough to store the storm water
during the spring and winter so that
it can be used for irrigating purposes
during the summer months.
The place that Mr.. Doty is improv-
ing is the old Reed Ranch ten miles
south of Cottonwood. The dam and
the reservoir will be near the upper
end Of the ranch in draw that emp
ties into Big Buffalo creek. This dam
will contain six thousand cubic yards
Of earth fill and can be constructed
for nine hundred dollars or less.
We find that this draw has fall of
less than nine feet to the mile and
that by building dam only eight feet
high at the highest place and FIVE feet
high over the greater part of the dam
that we can back water up in the
draw about three quarters of a mile
and for spill-way we can use a nat
Wal opening one thousand feet up the
draw from the dam, the bottom of
which will be two fee: lower than the
top of the dam.
The capacity of the reservoir will
be sixty acre feet when full, that is
enough water to cover sixty acres one
foot deep, or enough to irrlgate sixty
acres four times with an average of
three inches for each irrigation.
On running out the bitches we find
that there will be fiifty-one acres an
der the ditch, that is fifty-one acres
of irrigable land. Making a reason
able allowance for evaporation and
seepage we will still have enough wa
ter for four irrigations of three inches
each for the fifty-one acres.
Water-users in this part of the coun
try find that it is proper to install
a plant or construct q reseyoir of suff-
icient size to deliver twelve inches
of water over the entire irrigated
area during the season.
The Government Records show that
the average seasonal rainfall is twelve
inches and that the amount OF rain
fall required for growing the best crops
is twenty inches. So to be able to
irrigate successfully during the dry
years we have cut the average rain
fall to eight inches and figure on sup
plying twelve inches by irrigation.
Mr.. Doty expects to put in four
inch pump and a small engine but in
most cases of storing waiter simple
head-gate can be used and the expense
of maintenance IS very small indeed.
since the water will be delivered by
gravity and the only expense will be
to Keep the bitches and head-work on
repair.

 It should furnish them in Ari- zona as it furnishes them in many other states of the union to the children of the rich and of the poor.
 The republicans of Arizona real izing the value of education as factor in the upbuilding of good citizenship has pledged itself to do everything in it's power to promote education by pursuing a liberal policy in the matter of providing good buildings, good teachers and good equipments including free school books.
 "The public school is the bull wark of our civilization" reads the republican platform, "and we favor a progressive policy of ex- tension and improvement of the system and pledge liberal sup port to all measures looking to that end"
 Democratic speakers in discuss ing the free school book plank of the platform treat it sneeringly and say the liberty loving people of Arizona are not asking charity. There is no charity about 1t. They might as we'll say that free school houses, free teachers and free blackboards are given the people as charity. The rising generation has az much right to free school books as to free school houses and the republicans propose to furnish them.

MOVING TOO RAPIDLY.

Recently we'll known citizen put to TIE OASIS editor this in- quirv; eff Arizona votes out of her constitution now the recall of the judiciary, can or will that act be construed to be an irrevocable compact binding upon the new state which cannot be abrogated without the consent of Congress?" The gentleman propounding the query asserted frankly that were such course possible he should vote surely against elimination of the resall as applied to the iudici- ary. To the iaquiry- THE OASIS man replied that while he had ad- vanced the very idea propounded in the question mature reflection had convinced him that the possi- bility of such construction being given to the amended state consti- tuition is so remote that it hardly iS,worth being given consideration. It never could come up for judicial determination until some judge should commit an overt act which should bring about a successful petition for his recall. Then if he would test the question he would inaugurate the necessary legal proceedings, aud tine case would go by due and regular procedure Co the highest court in the land Now il may be a generation, or a half century before such a case would arise, and by that time who can say that recall of the judiciary will not have been adopted iD all the states? Who can say it may not be embodied in the Constitu ton of the United States2 Public opinion is moving very swiftly toward adoption of all the pro gressive principles of government and by the time test case CoulC arise in Arizona it might have gone so far that no one would have the remotest idea of raising th' question of an irrevocabie compact
 It should not be forgotten tha in the ordinary course of affair the selection of the judiciary vii draw to the woolssck high orde of men, ambitious to serve justf, their fellow men. The few amonI them who might fall short woulC be held to high standard by tn exalted character and integrity 0 their colleagues on the bench an' 1t would be apt to be many year before there would be elevated on whom the people would seek t pull down; and as asserted herein the question of an irrevoCable com pact would not and could no enter.

4, BIG BUFFALO. HERD
cRoss Wl1H ANGUS CATTLE

A dispatch from Goodnight, Texas,
says
A company has been formed here for
the purpose Of taking over the famous
y. A." ranch Of Colonel Charles Coed
night and engaging in the breeding Of
buffaJoes. and cattle on a much larger
scale than has been done heretofore. and
also to make q specially of breeding
Persian and Karakule sheep. elk, ante
lope and other animals which can be
turned to profitable account.
The present herd of full FLOODED
buffaloes upon the ranch numbers 100
head. There are seventy-fve head Of
mixed breed, or cattaloes; 300 head of
Persian sheep, 43 head of Karakule
sheep, 10 elk, IS antelope and 100 head
of black polled Angus cattle.
It is planned by the company to make
the buffalo herd worth not less than
ST, 900. 600 in ten years.
Colonel Goodnight has devoted thirty
years to %propagating the buffalo and
crossing it with polled Angus cattle. He
has long been noted as the creates,
breeder of buffaloes and cattaloes in
the world. He has reached that time in
life when he wants to prepare for a con-
tinuation of the work he has so we'll be-
gun after he has laid aside life's cares
and burdens. It was this desire that
has prompted the organization of a
strong financial company to take over
his valuable holdings.
Associated with him in the work are
younger men, who are enthusiastic over
the possibilities of making the buffalo
Of great commercial value to this
country.
II hope and expect that the industry
that I have inaugurated will be perpetu-
ated and fill an unique page in the his
tory of a generation yet unborn said

and three heifers. And while | have
sold over $40, 900 of their increase,

buffaloes. and the only cattalo herd in

by breeding them with the famous
polled Angus cattle that were imported
from Scotland, l have them from one

in the mixed breed the extra ribs of the

while the ordinary cattle have only thir.

will cut a greater per cent of meat thar

and are a longer lived cattle.
