Or an average of $500.

Or an average of $500.
Taking this cost in Colorado as the
basis, some decidedly interesting and
instructive comparisons may be made.
Assume that the water was pumped
from wells 20 feet deep, and assume
that ditch water for gravity irriga-
ton costs $50 an acre with $1.25
maintenance charge including deprc-
citation on bitches and fumes, (Which
is very low for any project now un-
der consideration, and there is found
to be a considerable saving to the
farmer by the use of pumping
equipment.
When interest is figured at six
per cent on the original $50 an acre
investment in ditch rights. plus the
maintenance charge of slips, it is
found that the cost to the farmer is
$425 an acre each year for gravity
irrigation.
BY taking the same interest charge
of six per cent on the original pump
ing investment of $7.45 with an add
ed depreciation charge of four per Gel I
or 10 per cent total, it is found that
the cost to the farmer for irrigation
by pumping is 75c for interest and So
for operation. This makes a total
annual cost for pumping Of 1915 an
acre, compared with total annual
cost of $4.25 by gravity, or saving
to the farmer of $3.50 each year on
every acre under irrigation.
These figures do not take into con-
sidcration the tremendous advantaee
to the farmer Of having tho water,
when pumped, just when he wants it
regardless of the demands Of his
neighbors. With the pumping plart
the operating cost stops. of course,
when the pump stops enabling the
farmer to take advantage of natural
rainfall.
This advantage of irrigation by
pumping is contingent, of course, on
the availability of electric power.
Such irrigation will be made impos-
sible in all sections remote from
power stations if the cost of con-
struction of transmission lines is
made so high as to make it unpro-
fitable for the power companies to
serve these communities.

CHEAPER TO PUMP

1t will surprise many to learn that
pumping water for irrigation is cheap
err than securing it by gravity where
electric power can be secured as
low as $50 a horse power year, and
where water rights in gravity
system cost $50 an acre.
Tests made with 60 small pump
ing plants in Colorado prove that
under average conditions an efficient
plant capable Of irrigating 100 acres
through lift of 25 feet represented
an investment by the farmer of $7.45

SIX RESCUE SHIPS.
VIII BE Chartered to Bring Americans
Home.


Washington, Aug. 13.-Immediate
for Americans was agreed upon today
by Secretaries McAdoo, Garrison and
Daniels and Assistant Secretary Phil
lips of the state department. They
will carry eight thousand passengers
at as reasonable rates of passage as is
possible.
Secretary McAdoo made this state
ment:
at was determined by the relief
committee to charter six vessels and
put them in condition as quickly as
possible and to send them to Europe
to transport American citizens to this
country. 1t was estimated it would
take but three weeks to provision and
otherwise equip the ships for this serv-
ice and to get them to Europe. They
will take care of about 5000 persons.
THE secretary of war will take
charge of all arrangements in cOnnec-
ton with the QUILTING and forward
ing of these ships and of getting them
back to America. All are American
ships. 1t has not been determined
what point these vessels will touch in
Europe. They will go to those places
where it may be later deemed the
greatest relief possible may be afford
ed to Americans.
Under the terms of the appropria-
ton for the purpose the government is
to be reimbursed, that is, so far as the
passengers may be able. The rates OF
passage will be made as seasonable as
possible
Further details will be determined
upon tomorrow

ono ever thought or mentioned me
for the place.
"As far ~ the assertion that the
state administratio was backing any

It Is as purely rot - the assertion
that am . candidate for state chair

pOintees of the governor were, indi-

candidates for senator. For instance
George b. Ross was for Medley, W. E.
Brooks was for Farrelly, s. T. Seaton
supported Brown, Taylor Riddles q
thorough administration man, was ac-
tive for DOster. Others were for
Sapp. and Botkin himself is an ap-

few really STRANDED
Number NJ Destitute Americans Is
Greatly Exaggerated.

London. Aug. 13.-In view of the
nature of the cablegrams reaching
London from the United States, the
committee of American residents is
forced to conclude that an exaggera-
ton has been made in some cases re-
garding the number of Americans re-
ported stranded and in distress and
supposed to be suffering.
Herbert C. Hoover Of California,
chairman of the committee, said to-
day there were not more than 10000
Americans in England at the present
moment who were DESTROYS of return
ing home.
Fully 81 per cent Of these" he
said. ARE able. under the conditions
now prevailing, to finance themselves
and but 3 per cent are in reality
stranded.
THE committees fund is more than
amply taking care of the destitute
Americans, and it is my belief that
not more than $4,000 or $4,000 OF
government money will be required ia
provide for them.'
