that within a distance Of several
miles and at a proper elevation. any
number Of these wells could be de-
veloped. In other words, the SAGE
Creek supply could If necessary, be
supplemented by any amount Of fine
'~artesfan water. The supply of these
~artesian bearing sands is ample al all
times, and constant in yield.
The depth Of the Rasmussen we'll
is only 600 feet and 1t is cased for a
depth Of only 38 feet. This leads to
two important conclusions. First,
that this well is not developed prop
Ierly and II properly developed would
yield a much larger amount Of wa
ter; and, second, the wells would
not be costly to drill.
On the Lambertson ranch q fine

spring at the time Of measurement
was diverted above the weir. At
least so second foot or 323,150 gal
Ions per "a hours is available here.
The spring is at the proper elevation
SO that the water would flow into
the main pipe to Rawlins.
If. In the future, on account Of an
unforeseen or unprecedented growth
Of Rawlins or the need of a greater
supply should develop, there is no
possible ground for doubt that these
two additional supplies. viz. the
Iartesian supply in the Rasmussen
area and the Lambertson Spring
be developed and made to yield
from 100000 to 100000 gallons
per day additional supply.
While there is sufficient water in
the Sage Creek basin to amply sup
pie Rawlins and the Union Pacific
railroad under nomal conditions and
growth, yet 1t is always well to
know what reserves are available in
order to meet any possible conting-
encies. .

SNAKE RIVER PIONEER

OF Joseph Morgan, brief notice Of
which appeared in The Republican

Last Saturday evening marked the
passing Of n Of the prominent pio-

death claimed Joseph Morgan at his
home e Slavery. Mr.. Morgan had
been in failing health for several
weeks and his death was not unex-
;pected, although the end came quite
suddenly. being directly due to heart
failure.
He was IS years of age at the time
of his death. and leaves behind
wife, eight grown children, three sis
tiers, two brothers. eight grand chill

Funeral services q held at the
home Monday Afternoon at 2 O'Clock

Joe Morgan was one Of the real
trail blazers of the old West, coming
to Snake River in the seventies max

of Snake River. He took up his home
on the Slavery in 1879, where he has

1t Ii to be remembered that this
year has been one of the dryest of

this q dry yea quite conclusively.
The people OF the City of Rawlins
can be absolutely assured that the
flow Of the Sage Creek springs will
seldom. IL ever. be less than $780,
900 gallons per "a hours.
A Constant Stream
That Sage Creek is a constant
flowing stream Is evidenced by the
following facts:

snowfall. the flow did not become
less than 100000 gallons per "a

Mr.. Steer rose and resumed his

him and famed him frantically,

Never-Fai|ing springs
Will Supply City Water
Upper Sage, Beaver and Donald Creek Drainage
Area Capable of Furnishing water for
City of $4,000 Population

After many exhaustive Investigations, covering a period of
years, during which the absolute necessity of a better water SUD-
ply has been accentuated by the steady growth of population and
by the increasing Importance of Rawlins as a commercial center,
the board of city trustees made the first and most important step
last week and designated the so-called Sage Greek source as the
most feasible, from every standpoint, of the many places where
an assured supply of clear, uncontaminated water for domestic
and commercial use can be obtained.
This is the first of a series of articles on the subject of this
source of Rawins new water supply and is designed to furnish
authentic data for the benefit of the taxpayers of Rawlins and to
answer in advance many questions which will be asked from time
to time between now and the date upon which a vote will be taken
on the subject of a bond issue for the purpose of providing funds
for the completion of the water system. This article is based upon
the report of the Weiland Engineering Company which made the
preliminary surveys. The next will deal with the method of col
Letting and piping the water to the city.

FARMERS In CONVENTION
A Little Story Of a Meeting
In Chicago

Time-March, 1920.
Place-The Gold Room in the LaSalle
Hotel, Chicago.
Persons-Farmers.
There is really nothing remarkable
about a meeting Of farmers. II stories
had been written about every meeting
at which farmers had been the only ones
present the entire LaSalle hotel would not
be large enough to hold them all.
But it was significant that, in the sec
ond largest city in the United States, and
in one Of the busiest centers Of that city,
the farmers from over the entire country
should be convened to discuss the prob
lens of the farm.
And even more significant than the
setting, the men present, and the time,
were the things that took shape during
the meeting, for it was at this meeting
that the American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion was born. Twenty-eight organized
states with a membership of 100000 for
mally ratified the constitution Of the
national organization and went on record
as having made for themselves an organi-
cation which would do FOR the farmers
collectively what they could never hope
to accomplish individually.
In short, the farmers had organized.
When the second annual convention
was held in December, 1920, in Indian
apolis, 40 states had become members and
th.e paid-up membership was 744,4o1.
The third annual convention, in At
lanta, Ca, in November, 1921, reflected
the interest that had been aroused by the
organization, and its powerful potential
iniuence was decidedly evident. There
were now As states in the American Farm
Bureau, and 6 1919 members, Things
were not 90 much in the future as at the
other conventions. Actual accomplish
ments. that meant dollars and cents to the
farmer were proudly recited.
Legislative measures which had been
sponsored and backed by the Farm Bureau
were held up as justification OF farmer
organization and proof Of its efficiency.
Farmers had at last made for them
selves an organization which was being
run in a business-like manner and which
could show results at a time when results
were most needed.
And so, after all, while the meeting at
Chicago was significant, It wa not re-
markable. for the farmers Of the United
States were only coming into their own.
And they had found 1t entirely to their
liking.
