State Board OF Health

Irrigation Of
District Feasible

The report of the federal rec,ama-
tion service, who had several survey
ing parties making a survey of the
water resources and possible irriga-
tion projects of the Rogue River val
ley, is completed and is published in
brief herewith. The report recon-
mends the irrigation of the entire
acreage of the valley as an 'immedi-
ate possibility" The valley is di-
vided into two districts, one embrac-
ing the valley from Medford to Tolo,
and the other the Ashland district
The report commends the system of
the Rogue River Canal Company and
recommends that the landowners Of
the lower valley put their land under
the company's water.
The Ashland district has several
available water sources. The report
advises immediate development of
laterals from Bear creek and further
investigation and later development
of one or more Of several available
sources and systems. Those interest
ed in valley irrigation, which by the
way is deemed by the government in
vestigators to be a necessity in all
but years of maximum rainfall, are
greatly pleased with the report. A
meeting will be held at Talent soon,
it is understood, to discuss the mat

Summary of Report.

summary Oh report.
The Investigations have been made
with possible future development in
mind rather than the projects already
constructed or proposed, although
these projects have had a consider
able influence on the conclusions
reached.
The land is practically all in pri-
vate ownership. Sections of the val
ley are closely populated, small rather
than large farms being the rule. Ap-
proximately half OF the valley is
planted to orchard, the remainder be-
ing devoted to the growing of grain
and forage crops. The area is par
ticularly adapted to the growing of
apples and pears, and some of the
finest orchards in the state are found
here.
The soil survey made by the de-
partment of agriculture in 1911
shows that the average texture of the
soil is clay loan. The fact that
practically all of the soils are desir-
able, with irrigation, indicates that
they will stand the construction
charges of any irrigation system here
tofore proposed.
Irrigation Necessary.
In years of maximum rainfall irri-
cation is not needed. In years of
average rainfall irrigation would ma
terially and profitably increase pro-
duction. In years of minimum rain
fall the moisture is wholly insuffi-
cient and irrigation is necessary to
mature crops.
A duty of 1.5 acre feet delivered
on the land has been adopted. 1t is
based on the assumption that fruit
will always be the predominating
crop in the valley.
The source from which the water
supply for irrigation must come nat
urally divides the area into two dis
tricts, which are treated in the report
as the Medford and Ashland divis-
ions. The Medford division includes
all the area extending north to
Rogue river at Tolo which the Rogue
River Valley Canal Company pro-
poses to irrigate. The Ashland di-
vision includes all the area south of
this division.

John c. Orcutt, assistant secretary of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, was a guest of the Arkansas Profit able Farming Campaign Tuesday. He was invited here by Carl J. Baer, gen. eral manager of the Board of Com merce, who met him in Cincinnati recently.
 MT. Orcutt visited the plantations at Scott's Tuesday morning and was deeply impressed by them. He said in the course of an interview:
 "The business man of the city must teach the farmer to be a real business man. These plantations are wonderful. The planters must be a remarkable set of men who have learned and practice business meth ods"

 KILLED BY A GUARD

Fred Brewer, aged 56, a recluse re- siding near the State Reform School, was shot at a. m. Tuesday, and died at the county hospital at 2 p. n. the same day.

ROBBED A STORE
 OF Sl5,OO0 NOTES
ITIS NOT PROBABLE THAT THIEF WILL BE ABLE TO REAL IZE ON ANY OF THEM,
 HOWEVER.

Last Monday night thieves entered the store of P w. Dupree at Jack sonville and stole a leather pocket book containing $15,000 in promissory notes. The name of E. P. Stone, Mr. Dupree's father-in-law, was stamped on the outside of the purse.
 It will be difficult, if not impossible, for the thief to realize anything on the notes, for to negotiate them it would be necessary to forge MT. Du- prees endorsement. me purchaser of the notes would have no recourse, and MT. Dupree can collect them by showing in court that they were lost.

 ARE ADVANCED
H. F. AuTEN PROTESTS AGAINST ACTION OF THE PULASKI couN. TY BOARD OF EoUALI-
 PATTON.

During the past week the Pulaski County Board of Equalization has made many raises in the assessment of real estate on Pulaski Heights, claiming that it had been assessed too low heretofore.
 Hillcrest and several other addi- tions came in for their attention. Tn Hillcrest virtually all the lots are now assessed from $100 to $400 in all but few isolated sections. The equal izers say that lots in this section were never assessed at more than S20O, that being the highest figure. That assessment was placed on the lot on which the home of c. G. Price is To- cated. It was raised to $400, as were many other lots on which are beau tiful homes in that section of Little Rock. They said that basis for the raises was according to sale price of lots in the various sections.
 The first protest to be filed with the county judge was received Sat urday morning from H. F. Auten or Pulaski Heights. There were five protests, one for himself, one for the Pulaski Heights Sewerage Company, one for the Pulaski Heights Land Company, one for the Mountain Park Land Company and one for the River side Land Company The protest al- leges that the assessor of Pulaski county assessed the property at 50 per cent of its value and that the board then raised that assessment making it more than 50 per cent and a,so higher than other property in the same vicinity. Several additions owned and controlled by MT. Auten were included in the protests. These protests are not against the recent action of the Board of Equalization.
 Four other property owners in Pu- laski Heights filed with the county clerk protests against the assessment of their property, declaring that the assessments exceed 50 per cent of the value of the property.
 Those who protested are: E. E. Moss, owner of Lot No. g, Block No. 83, City of Little Rock, Lots Nos. 1, 2, 3, ', and g. Block No. 1, Auten & Moss addition, Lots Nos 2, 8, g, 10, II, Block No. 2, Auten & Moss addition, and Lots Nos. 4, 5, 6, z, 8 and g, Block No. IA, Pulaski Heights E. I. Eichenbaum and Gabe Lyons, owners Lots Nos. 3 and 4, Manning's subdivision, and Block 53, Pulaski Heights, and Lots Nos. and g., Block No. 40. Pulaski Heights; John P. Streepey, owner of Lots Nos. 10, II, 12, 13, Block No. ', Pulaski Heights, and F. B. T. Hollenberg, who did not enumerate his holdings.
 A. c. Read and E. J. Bodman, real estate men of Little Rock, went over the assessments of property in Hill cres and Midland Hills, and said the work of the board was fair. Gus Bertner, property owner in Pulaski Heights, addressed a letter to the board, saying that his property had been satisfactorily assessed. and that other property in his neighborhood
