Subject To irrigation.

The complete development Of the
Colorado river will permit of the rec
lamatiOn Of an area as great as the
total area now being irrigated by
projects of the Federal government.
The report then shows that the
mean water requirements in second
feet Of the ATT 900 irrigated acres
along the Colorado is 1868; the poten
tlal, with the placing Of 1856, 900 ad-
ditional acres under cultivation, 9282,
with the monthly maximum at Yuma
ranging from 10000 to $4,000 second
feet as during April, May, June, July
and August.
1t concludes: The aggregate
storage capacity of nine reservoir
sites already selected is 8,669,O00
acre feet, with ther iyer's minimum
discharge in 1902, 1850, 189 acre feet
and the maximum in 1909, 26,O00, 900
acre feet
This storage capacity, taken in
connection with the great annual dis
charge of the Colorado river, it is
believed, makes it possible to ade-
quately serve the entire area of land
referred to on the Lower Colorado
river, aggregating 1,955,000 acres, as
we'll as other areas In the upper
portion OF the drainage basin.
1.-TWO conclusions, consequently, can
be rrived at: First, that the areas
now being irrigated on the Lower
Colorado river require flows practi-
cally as great as the minimum flow
of the great river, and any further
diversion made in this basin, with
out storage regulations, will begin to
interfere with the interests of irri
gators on the lower river, including
the Federal irrigation project at Yu-
ma. Second, by comprehensive pol

Points At Issue.

Though the fight for the water of
the river has already taken on large
proportions, the points at issue at
present are relatively simple. The
Henrylyn Irrigation District, Farm
ers' Reservoir and Irrigation Com
pany, Fraser Sources Irrigation and
Power Company, and G. j. Bancroft
and w. E. Goldsborough have made
applications to the Secretary OF the
interior for rights of way over gov
ernment land for the purpose OF di-
Verting water from the Grand river,
one Of the sources OF the Colorado.
by tunnels and otherwise, from its
natural course to the Pacific ocean to
the Mississippi river slope.
In an opinion rendered by Lucius
K Chase, which will be transmitted
to Lane, is urged that only an act
of Congress can sanction the diver
sion of the water from navigable
stream. This opinion is to be supple
mented by another which H. w
O'Melveney is preparing. Together
they will form the groundwork for
the legal protest.
The larger protest in the interest
Of public welfare and well-being IS
embodied in two protests already sen
to Lane and in exhibits turned Ovel
to Hill Saturday. The brief submitted
by Lippincott forms the foundation
for the demand for an immense con-
servation project which will include
