No Surprise in Chairman Selection

Selection of julius Kruttschnitt for
the craftsmanship of Southern Pacific
excited no surprise because he has de-
voted the greater part of his attention
to the Improvement of that property
and it is known he has under way n
comprehensive plan for its further up
building Mr.. Kruttschnitt's connection
with Southern Pacific dates back to
the day when it was controlled by
C. P. Huntington. whose protege he
was. Extension OF the Hartman lines
into the southwest and Mexico are
largely due to Mr.. kruttschntt's pol
icy.
Officers and directors of the Union
Pacific railroad who were also di-
rectors of the Southern Pacific today
rendered their designations as the first
step in compliance with the decree of
the supreme court dissolving the two
roads. Inversely directors of the South :

Want Central Pacific

rnior Pacific officials make no secret
of the fact that every step now taken has
for its object possession of Central Pa
cific. They express the opinion that the
result hinges largely on the price to be
paid for that property. Central Paclffc's
value is easily ascertainable. as it's earn
ngs and finances always have been a
matter of separate bookkeeping.
James n. Wallace, president of the Cen
trail Trust company. and chairman of the
Southern Pacific's protective committee,
who, with j. Horace Harding and James
N Jarvis constitute that committees rep
resentatives On the Southern Pacific
board, declined today to discuss the re-
suit of the meeting with Mr.. Wickersham
last Saturday
He stated however, that some of the
more serious obstacles looking to the
severance of the Hartman lines We're
fast being overcome. This opinion. in
effect, also was shared by the lawyers
representing the Union Pacific road.

Statement Concerning Irrigation

The following statement con-
corning irrigation, made by Mr..
NJ. f. Layne is of interest Mr..
Layne Of the Layne 4 Bowler
Co., has visited and investigated
nearly all the irrigated districts
in the United States. He states
that the well pumping proposition
is a better home builder and the
most satisfactory manner OF irri-
cation. as each man controls his
own water supply, which can be
applied at the time most needed.
The water supply in semi-arid
districts, as far as ne has in
vestigated, can be put in a COM
mercial and disable shape by
proper equipment Of wells at a
less cost per acre for installation
than the average ditch or canal
now in use in the states Of Wash
ington and Colorado and other
western states. Mr.. Layne
states that the operating expense.
including interest on he cost Of
well plant will be far less IN
keeping with results obtained,
than the ditch or canal system.
The average cost Of ditch or
canal water along the Platt e
river in Colorado costs $500 90
per second foot. which is $50
gallons per minute The water
is delivered at the head Of the
canal (thst Is when there is
sufficient water in the river to
supply the canal ana the farmer
loses the leakage and eyapora-
ton. which loss amounts to in
many cases 30 per cent before
the water reaches its destination.
Thus il is clear that a well
that will produce 1850 gallons
per Mute. which is three second
feet. or $50 miner inches. il paid

reage, limited cultivation and
improper application Of water
will lead to bankruptcy.
Mr.. LaYne has given the study
of developing and placing of
under-flows or ground water in
commercial or disable shape, his
entire time for the past thirty
years, and he is confident that
the engineering world is just
coming to know the wonderful
possibilities 10 be developed in
the very near future from this
great source Of fresh, life giving,
energizing force stored in God
giving reservoirs, to be used for
mans benefit, when ne once un-
derstands how to best procure
il and apply il as he should.
The well water is your own
private property to be used at
your pleasure and convenience.
There is no waiting or guessing
when your turn" comes as with
the ditch or canal, no litigation
concerning priority rights such
as is common in many canal and
ditch propositions.
Therefore, a correctly installed
well irrigation pumping plant is
a water getter, a home builder
and a mortgage litter.
When we consider the fact
that Lubbock county has this
water underneath, at such a short
distance from the surface. the
above statement is very en-
couraging. Experts tell US that
the main strata Of water. from
which the irrigation is done, av-
erages less depth from the sur
face than any county on the
plains, and that practically the
whole county can be irrigated.
When this fact once becomes
known to the world. land values
will certainly soar. The soils Of
the proper sort for irrigrtion,
there is no alkali or other in
furious qualities in either the soil
or water. Thus everything indi-
Gates success m the future.

more than pay for the fuel con
sumed in operating pumps, and
the upkeep on the ditch or canal
viii more than offset the deterior-
alton on the well plant
The greatest mistake and In
most failures from we'll irriga-
ton comes from installing a well
too small and impractical
machinery which does not pro-
duce water in sufficient quantities
TO permit Of properly spreading
same.
A beginner is inexperienced,
and does not know how to meas
ure the water and much less how
TO estimate il. but being enthused
and excited, imagines that he
can easily irrisate a township
with his new 2000 gallon well.
When in fact the 1000 gallons
guessed at or estimated will in
many instances only be 600 gal
Ions per minute. so he usually
fails in his first attempt. This
discourages him and is the reas-
on for so many failures in new
irrigation districts.
Now, in order TO be conserva-
tive and be on the safe side, Mr..
Layne strongly urges all parties
putting in irrigation plants to con-
suit those who have had expert
ence. who can properly install
irrigation plants. and superintend
the setting of a weir at some con-
venient location. so that they can
at all times know the exact
amount OF water their wells are
producing.
