Difficult to Prevent

Difficult to Prevent
 Mr Murphy was then asked, Can this damage from the rise in ground water be prevented by using less water in irrigation?" He replied:
 Tt is difficult. if not impossible. to apply to the soil the exact quantity Of water required for growing crops. Some soils will retain more water than others, and to apply just the proper amount might require an unequal dis : rribution of water over a field; this is not practical. in most cases. In gen. eral. some of the water applied in irrigation finds it's way downward into he subsoil and contributes to the rising of ground water. There are also losses from canals and rainfall and lome of the water from these sources finds its way into the subsoil. Care -ful use of water will reduce the amount Df drainage work that is required but there are some areas where draina ge is necessary for the protection of the land"
 Large Areas Need IL
 AIr. Murphy. in answer to a question ss to the practice of drainage in irri- gated portion of California and other western states stated that drainage works have been constructed or are being constructed quite generally over the irrigated lands of the west. '.There are, Of course, large areas needing it 1hat are not yet supplied with drain age he said, but the necessity for 1t ls recognized. and with the increased demand for land the work is rapidly being taken up.
 There are some large irrigated areas in California. especially in the southern part of the state, where drainage is not needed. and where it has never been practiced. There are the areas over which large quantities of water arc being pumped for irrigation. Be lore the pumping was begun ground water was in many cases quite near the surface The high value of water Tor irrigating purposes has caused Neils to De sunk and pumping plants 70 Dc constructed wherever feasible These have caused such lowering of ground water that drainage as such is not necessary"

SOLONS READY TO SEND PACT
 INTO CAMP PAIGN
rRepubIioan A. p. Leased wireI

WASHINGTON, March D. Con- vinced that for the present their labors to break the peace treaty deadlock are a waste of time, senate leaders moved today to get the treaty out Of the way of pressing legislation and to let issues raised by the ratification fight go into the political campaign.
 Under the plan, compromise negotio- tionS on the reservation to article 10 are to be dropped. readoption of the republican reservation program of last session is to be completed as a for mality, and then a final vote is to be taken to put the treaty into the cam paign.
 Some senators predicted tonight final vote, which it is conceded will record another failure to ratify, would come within three days. Among most leaders. however. the prediction was that the smouldering debate would take at least most of the week to burn itself out.
 The decision to hasten action was reached when republican leaders, con vinced that the democrats would block ratification unless the article 10 reser- vation were modified, determined to insist that the reservation go into the ratification reservation without change. Tn this reaffirmation they aeceded 10 a demand by republican irreconcil- ables, who had intimated that they might adopt methods of their own to wreck the republican program.
 The coup of the irreconcilables in thus bringing the treaty fight to truce was virtual repetition of the move by which several weeks ago, they ended the bipartisan compromise negotiations by bringing pressure to bear on republican leaders when an agreement seemed imminent Holding the balance of the power. their votes have to be counted on by republicans to adopt any of the proposed reserVa- tions and in addition they are under stood to have pointed out that if their counsels were disregarded, they could talk the treaty over into the campaign.
 The senate took no action on the treaty today. the session being cut short by adjournment on account or the death of Senator Bankhead.

FIRES NOT SPREADING.

John s. Brender informed us yes
terday that the fire on the Icicle was
pretty well under control. The rain
of Wednesday helped out quite a bit
but there was not enough of it any,
where on the Iccle to entirely put it
out. This fire has not spread much
since last week and it was so far un-
der control that the danger of it go
ing farther up the river was very
slight.
The fire on the Chewawa spread
considerable since last week. It was
spreading a few days ago to such an
extent that quite number of men
were sent up to increase the force
there, and the Echo has a report
from the Royal Development Co.
that it had been spread to the slope
east of their works and that their
crew had been assisting in the fight.
Rain began falling there Wednesday
morning. when Mr.. Naughton and
Mr.. Ruth left, and continued to fall
all the way as they came down. so
that it is thought that this would
quench the fire. No damage had yet
been done to the mine.

Dear Sirs:-
Now that we are finally located
again for another year, we would like
our paper sent to the above address.
Unpacked our furniture and house
hold goods this past week and to my
surprise as well as to my pleasure |
never expected our goods to come
through in such excellent shape as
they did. Not a mar or a break,
which is some record for freight go
ing over two thousand miles and be
ing in storage for two months.
Had to buy a home in order to find
house to live in, as the house stu
alton is the same here as everywhere
else. Was fortunate to get a new
house just completed, and only four
blocks from the new High School
building, where | am to be located
this coming year.
Washington is the county seat Of
Washington, Iowa, located in the best
and richest farming community in
the state of Iowa, and from all APP
pearances is a very prosperous city
of 7 or thousand population, with
wonderful school buildings and equip
ment and noted for its civic pride.
The first thing one sees on arrival is
a large sign across the street with
this slogan on it: "The Cleanest City
in Iowa" Whether it is we have still
to learn.
If any of our Leavenworth friends
should happen this way, remember
they are always welcome and that we
will be only too glad to see them. As
it is, "The Echo" will be depended on
for the news of our old western home.
With best regards to all, I remain
Very truly yours,
