in connection with drainage and Gov
ers in the Pioneer Irrigation Dis
trict and the Fargo basin.
In the Pioneer Irrigation District
a total of thirty-fve miles of deep
open drains have been excavatcd at
cost of about eight cents a cubic
yard OF excavated material.
The Mason creek system of drains,
as contemplated by the contract be-
tween the United States and the Pion-
Ger Irrigation District, is now COM
plete with the exception Of the Solo
mon drain, and the Dixie system is
practically complete ON the Wilson
system the Isaiah and Moses drains
only remain 10 be cNcavatcd
In the Fargo basin the drainage
bitches are well under way, about
three miles of drain having been con
Structed Approximately six hundred
feet OF thirty-SiN inch pipe were laid
lin connection with this drain through
the Millcr-laht ridge.
In connection with all the drains
THAT have been constructed the hcne-
its OF such drainage are very marked,
land readings taken ON wells and Dor
ingS show that the water plans re-
spends Immediately and very rapidly
latter the deep drains have been con
Structed and have relieved the pres
sure.
Operation and Maintenance Costs.
The total expenditure on operation
and maintenance during the year has
/ been considerably below the estimate,
although the season was several weeks
longer than the average, An item was
earrled in the estimate for breaks and
contingencies that was not found to
be needed, The canal banks are get
ting more settled and compact from
season to season and to a considerable
IcNteut Soddcd, which makes the prob
ability of breaks more remote. 1t is
anticipated that as more land comes
into cultivation the cost per acre will
be materially reduced, as il is thought
that the present operating force will
be sufficient to handle the additional
acreage At present only. about one
half the ultimate irrigablc acreage is
in cultivation.
Settlement and Development.
Very little settlement has taken
place on the project during the year
Ia comparatively small ,,amount of
state land has been sold aud placed
in cultivation, and about ten entries
on which preference right to entry
existed have been filed upon and oc
cupied, About 100 units of govern

portion of the project grades almost
into loose sand. The heavier scabby
soils are found mostly east of Mad
den Butte.
On the heavier soils approximately
22 acre-leet to the acre have been
used, while on the lighter soils below
the reservoir approximately 3.5 acre
feet. The heavier soils are located un-
der the flood water system and the
fact that the water users under this
system have not been able to count
on a late supply of water has had
more or less effect on the nature of
the crops seeded, which in turn has
had its effect on the amount of water
used. For a small area located in
Sand Basin some water users have
used on the average of ten acre-feet
of water to the acre irrigated. The
soil in this section contains no natur-
al humus and will not retain moisture
for any considerable period. In order
to maintain plant growth water has
been used almost constantly in large
quantities. This condition has been
overcome to some extent by intro
ducing humus into the soil and by
improved methods of irrigation.
Losses.
The losses in the main canal have
been approximately those shown for
the past three seasons, while the
losses in the lateral system appear. as
a rule, to be less. The losses from the
Deer Flat reservoir are considerable
less than during any previous season.
The Improvement noticeable in both
the reservoir and canals is due in a

babies die-We must have profit"
That is the pleasant and humaniz-
ing battle cry that has ,been raised by
Americas spectators in medicine
the men who are cornering the drug
supply of the nation and blaming
high prices on the European war!
They are buying up all the medi-
cines available and holding them for
higher prices-for the time when the
rich feel the need of them and only
the rich can buy.
Quinine costs five times as much
today as It did a month ago-and
there are 160, 1000 ounces of quinine in
New York-a years supply.
The quinine gamblers have made
half a miIIion--have increased the
price tenfoId since the war started
and predict s. quinine before anoth-
er year!
The leaves from which camomile
tea is made have jumped IS cents
pound, horehound has more than
doubled in price, as have also the
crude oils from which cod liver oil is
made.
Carboic acid, which was SO cents
one year ago, costs $1.70 today and
bromides have 1eaped in the same Pc
Rod from 81 cents to $3.25.
Peroxide of hydrogen was less than
ST per gross of pound bottles on
September 1. Today the price is $21.
Mamma, an Italian product, has jump
ed in a little more than a month from
80 cents pound to $1.05, and gly-
cerine, which sold for 25 cents a
pound last month, is now lowering
around so cents.
Not ALL the higher prices are due
to speculation. The war started it
and the war gave the spectators the
hunch on how they could make mil
lions.
Europe produces normally 75 per

shipments. But Europe's production
has been greatly curtailed, and Eu-
ropes demand has been greatly in
creased. Some drugs have even
been sought by Europeans in Amer
lea, according to P. E. Anderson, head
of one of the biggest drug importing
firms.
UutoId suffering already has been
inflicted on scores of families in this
and every other American city's tene-
ments. Physicians predict that un-
less the drug famine is broken hum
dreds of mothers and babies will be
doomed to death.
One hope lies in the chance that
American government scientists, now
working on the problem in Washing
ton, can find a way of supplying these
drugs that the spectators cannot
corner!

NEW MOVE TO INDUCE BUYING
or CITY BONDS

Another inducement is offered to
small investors to purchase city
bonds by Comptroller Eugene Pike.
Yesterday the mayor signed an or
dinance planned and fostered by Pike
which will permit bonds of small de-
nomination to be cashed by the city
treasurer whenever the bondholders
want their money back.
This is a feature which few other
cities have and is expected to double
the sale of bonds of small denomi-
nation to the citizens.
Eve are prepared to cash bonds in
amounts up to $1,000" said Pike to-
day. Suppose moderately fixed
family is visited by sickness or some
other misfortune. They now can af-
ford to purchase these bonds because
they can turn them III for cash when
ever they wish. We pay per cent
interest so it will be profitable move
for them to purchase an interest in
their city" . ...-

HURRICANE is
MAKING PROGRESS
New Flour Mill Is Complete Success
Dry Farming Is Becoming
Importans Industry.
Washington County News. }

Washington County News.)
Bishop Samuel Isom of Hurricane
was here Monday attending session
Of the board of county commissioners
of which he is member. Bishop Isom
always has good words for Hurricane
and reports that place making good
and substantial progress.
Crops have been very good this
year, said the bishop. Dry land corn
matured nicely; dry land wheat went
about II bushels to the acre and some
as high as 81 bushels.
The new flour mill at Hurricane
started on its first run the Gath inst.
The machinery, which is of the best,
runs smoothly and everything con-
nected with the mill works like a
charm. They started up on 1000
bushels of wheat and more wheat is
coming in right along. The mill is a
big success from every standpoint Of
view and the people are proud Of it..
Dry land farmers are feeling very
much encouraged in that section. The
success they have had so far with
their farms has acted as stimulus
and they are now going into the bust
ness more extensively. Flowing and
seeding is now in progress.
1t is very likely that an evaporating
plant will be put in next year to take
care of much of our fruit that now
goes to waste, said Bishop Isom. A
l.. Hall is about to go to Brigham
City to confer with Mr.. Knutson, an
expert in this line, to find out all
about the process and ascertain what
profit there is in the business. A
favorable report from Mr.. Hall will
decide for an evaporating plant here.
Akin Hinton Of La Verkin is build
ing very fine residence at Hurricane
and other people are building and i'm
proving.
Hurricane is growing in population,
too, four children, all girls, having
been born during the past week, as
follows: A 13-pound daughter to Mr..
and Mrs. ]. w. Inlay, Sept. 20; a
daughter to Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Brad
