avoid this error and the aim is to put
Just enough land under ditch that can
be adequately watered during the en-
tire irrigating season. This policy Is
restoring confidence in irrigation and
will eventually cause the state to be
completely settled with prosperous
farmers.
Colorado's annual agricultural out
put is now something more than
$100.000.000 This includes fruit rails
ing. which, in normal years. aggre-
gates about 100000.
Reliable data shows that the yield
of an irrigated farm in Colorado is
more than twice the yield OF land in
rain-belt country. 1t Is estimated
that the net returns from q well cul.
tivated irrigated farm is at least 2s
per cent on the valuation OF the farm.
It is not unusual for a Colorado farm
to pay for itself In two or three
years where the farmer couples in
telligence and frugality together. Ap
proximately 380.000.000 has been e1
pended In the construction OF irriga
ton projects In Colorado. The total
value OF Colorado farm lands is placed
at $3.50. 100000.

A court of domestic relations in
Chicago has decided that wife is
not obliged ito follow her husband
and hold out her hand like monkey
for money" but is entitled legally to
her share OF his means. This will
be regarded as an intolerable assault
upon sacred and vested rights by the
class of husbands who think wife
has no use for money beyond car
fare. and that while the wife does her
part of the business of the domestic
firm. the husband is the only one en-
titled to handle the cash.

ridge, and there are no rugged places
to make the ascent dangerous one.

to tho great round dome called Spanish

point, it is covered with sheep pasture
and is about forty acres IN extent. A

five feet high and four feet across has
been erected hero and of course we had

Perpetual Snow.

At this time IL was covered with snow
to a depth of several feet and IL is pre-
sumed that the forty or more acres I'M
the bottom is practically never bare Of
snow Snowshdes and avslanches all
winter long keep piling down into this
"Basilica,' ae Mr.. Gillian calls it, uu
til it becomes too deep to melt before
winter comes again. a little below the
Basilica is beautiful little lake fed'
by this glacier-hke patch OF snow
which never goes dry and affords re-
frsshment for horses, COWS, bears, deer,
birds and people. 1t IS called Eliza
beth, because it belongs 10 Mrs, Gillian.
No trees can grow under this snow
deposit in the Basilica and thus there
is great open space of apparently
smooth ground, though the probability
is that underneath the snow there are
boulders enough to build city. And
it must be confessed, we became chill
drcn again as we stood looking from
above into this basin, and we pried;
boulders loose with our hands and stared
in awe and wonderment as we watched
them whirling and jumping down thar
terrible slope and then 90 racing liks
cannon balls across tho SLOW plane be-
low. Later after we had gigzagged our
way down TO the snow we sincerely
hoped we had left ''no stone unturned
