RAIN IRRIGATION

At Bridgeton, New Jersey, Chas
F. Sesbrook is farming with twenty
five acres under irrigation, and he
usually gets from three to four
crops year from each piece Of
ground. The crops raised are let
tuce, celery, carrots, cabbage, beets,
onions, leek, and practically every
kind of truck vegetable gardener
would grow.
The method of irrigation which
Mr.. Seabrook employs is to repro
duce gentle rainfall, insuring
uniform distribution of water,
under control. The application of
the water is in the form of a fine
spray, which settles into the soil,
and does not remain on the sur
face. The pipes run horizontally
across the field six feet in the air
and are fifty feet apart. Every
four feet a nozzle is inserted in the
pipe from which the water Is
elected in fine spray. This spray
is so fine that it does not pack the
soil as heavy rain. Water is
pumped into a storage tank under
air pressure which will supply the
water through the system of over
head sprayers.-Scientifc Ameri-

The AMERICAN nile
Most Diverse River in the United States
Study of les 100000 Square-Miles
Basin by United States Geo
logical Survey

For some 1000 miles the great Colo
rado River sweeps diagonally across
the country from the high mountain
plateau of Wyoming and Colorado to
the farthest southwest corner of the
United States. The basin drained by
the Colorado and its tributaries ia about
800. 900 square miles in area, and much
of it is of high industrial and scenic
interest.
The Colorado basin comprises two
distinct portions. The lower third is
but little above the level of the sea,
though here and there in it ranges of
mountains rise to elevations of 1000 to
5000 feet. This part of the valley is
bounded on the north by line of cliffs
which present bold and in many
places vertical step of hundreds or
thousands of feet to tie table.land
above The upper two-thirds of the
basin stands from 1000 to 5000 feet
above sea level and is bordered On the
east, west, and north by ranges OF
snow-clad mountains, which attain al
titudes ranging from 5000 to $4,000 feet.
Through this plateau the Colorado and
its tributaries have cut narrow gorges
or canyons in which they flow at al
most inaccessible depths. At points
where lateral streams enter, the cany-
ons are broken by narrow transverse
valleys. The whole upper basin of the
Colorado is traversed by labyrinth of
of these canyons, many of which are
dry during the greater portion Of the
year and carry water only during the
melting of the snow and the brief
periods Of the autumnal and spring
rains
In the lower portion the river strong.
ly resembles the Nile, having annual
floods which distribute silt over the
adjoining lands and render them as
fertile as those in the historic valley of
North Africa. The Colorado and its
tributaries are not only of value for ir-
rigation, but, descending in steep chan
nels, they present abundant opporl uni
ties for the development of water
power. Power has been developed at q
few points, but the resources of the
Colorado basin are in this respect yet
practically untouched.

OBSERVATIONS BY UNITED STATES
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

In basin so literally provided with
natural resources it is fundamental
necessity, in planning for the utiliZa-
ton of the river, to ascertain the
amount of water available in the main
stream and its principal tributaries, so
that future developments, as we'll as
those now under construction, can be
suitably designed in type and capacity.
For long period of years the United
States Geological Survey has been
making observations and measurements
at many important points in the Colo
rado basin, and the latest published
information on the subject is contained
in Water. Supply Paper 289 of the Sur
vey, by Engineers W. h. Freeman, E..
y. LaRue, and II. D. Padgett. which is
a progress report Of river-f1ow measure
ments in this basin for the year 1910.
Gauging stations were maintained at
alarge number of points, covering Grand
River and tributaries in Utah, Colora-
do, and Wyoming; the San Juan basin
in northwestern New Mexico; the
Little Colorado River basin in Arizona;
and finally the discharge near the
mouth of the main stream at Yuma,
Arizona. These records are not only of
local value for guiding economic de-
velopment, but they have an interna
tional significance in connection with
the difficulties that have been encount.
cred in the control of the Colorado near
its mouth in Mexican territory.
NECESSITY FOR CONTROL OF THE RIVER
The control of the Colorado for the
prevention of further outbreaks such
as it's recent diversion into the Salton
Sea must involve thorough knowledge
of the trIb.taI. flow, even IN the high
regions of it's headquarters, in Colora-
do, and the ultimate steps taken to
prevent disastrous inunda alton will in
all probability involve the control of
these upland tributaries.
The size of Colorado River Is indi-
Gated by it's discharge at Yuma in the
year 1910. The heaviest discharge was
in May, 10000 cubic feet second; the
smallest discharge was in October.
4, 300 cubic feet a second The average
discharge for the year was 19. 700 cubic
feet second. The total run-off for the
year was l4,3OOOOO acre-feet, which
would make lake million acres in
extent and 143 feet in depth.
A COPY Of the Colorado River report
for 1910 may be- obtained free on appli-
cation to the Director of the Geological
Survey, Washington. d. q. Copies of
the corresponding report for 1909 and
for 1908 are also available.

TELEPHONE SYSTEM
CHANGES HANDS AGAIN
Nelson, Woods and Henning the
New Owners

the Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company, and
Mr.. w. B. Matheson, OF Phoenix,
Arizona, connected with that
company and also the old Over
land Company, were here this
week and inspected their tele-
phone holdings between here and
St. Johns and on Thursday
closed a deal with Messrs. Fred
w. Nelson, of St. Johns, and
Vim. B. Woods and Lloyd c.
Henning, of Holbrook, whereby
the Mountain States Company
transferred all OF it's telephone
lines connecting the following
named towns in Navajo and
Apache Counties: Holbrook,
Woodruff, Snowflake, Taylor,
Shumway, Pinedale, Hunt. Con
cho, St. Johns. Springerville and
Eagar, as we'll as several small
intermediate stations. The new
management assumed charge of
the property on September 1st.
The price was not made public,
but it is understo ID that quite a
large sum was paid and that the
sale was by no means a bargain
for the purchasers. The reason
that the company sold these
lines was that it was not in di-
rect touch with their other ex-
tensive holdings and that their
method of operating would be
a loss to them if they retained it.
This company, which is a part
of the Bell companies, has recent.
ly purchased nearly all of the
telephone systems in Arizona,
and are going to spend nearly a
million dollars in improvements
There are a few small lines such
as the one just disposed of, that
they will sell in order that they
may concentrate all their i'm
prOvements upon the revenue,
producing plants. .,.....,.
It has been stated that they
also sold the line between Hol
brook and Winslow, but that is
not fact for the very simple
reason that they never owned it
or had anything to do with the
operation oft in any way, shape
or manner. This probably comes
from the fact that the Overland
Company, of Phoenix, advertised
that they were the owners of the
line between Winslow and Hol.
brook, which was not a fact.
This line is seperate and distinct
from all other telephone compa.
nies. It is operated by the North
ern Arizona Telephone Company
and is owned by stockholders
residing in Holbrook, St. Joseph
and Winslow. In justice to these
local businessmen we wish to
correct the impression. This COM
pany has cordial relations with
the companies that it connects
With at WinslOw and Holbrook.
The lines that have just been
purchased by the local men are
known as the "Nelson Lines,
the system having been in sue
cessful operation for some few
years and was built under his
direction. The company in 1910
sold its holdings to the Overland
Telephone and Telegraph Com
rany. of Phoenix, Arizoua, which
latter concern operated them un-
til about two months ago, when
it became involved in financial
difficulties, caused by very bad
management and probably some
graft. and then the Mourta
States company stepped in anu
paid off all debts of the Overland,
paid the bonds outstanding and
then gave the stockholders what
was left, which was very small.

land stock. That is the history
of the lines that have just been
