C.] It is the weakest link which measures the strength of a chain, so in the use of rivers in irrigation, it is not their flood volume, but the discharge at time of greatest need which measure their usefulness and value to farmers along their banks. A river which carries a torrent in December but is a bedof dry sand in July is of little value to irrigators if left as nature made it. There are hundreds of such streams in the West. They wind their lonesome courses through lands of unsurpassed fertility, where the climate is salubrious and healthful, and where only perennial supply of moisture is needed to secure the growth of products of great diversity and value. On some the flood period comes a month too soon; on others months too late. The first objection applies to nearly all the rivers in the norther半 of the irrigated region; the second to those in the southern half. The important function of reservoirs is to bring the total supply into agreement with farmers' needs, in order that the water may be more completely utilized. The farther the natural flow falls short of accomplishing this, the more important are reservoirs and the greater the necessity for their construction. We need to know more about the quantity of water used in irrigating different crops and of the time when it should be applied to secure the largest yield. Definite information regarding both these matters must be secured before we can rightly estimate the value of an acre-foot of stored water, or the being farmed. It takes far less water to irrigate an acre of garden than it does a like area of native hay and the value of its product is far greater, but with the first water must be had when needed. The time of the application with the second is not important. The moisture required by an acre of wheat will irrigate an orchard ten times as large, but the first can be brought to maturity along a stream which goes dry in August. The last must have water the season through. An acre of oats requires many times as much water as an acre of corn or potatoes, but oats can be irrigated while streams are high; corn and potatoes require water when they are low. Orchards, gardens, alfalfa, and root crops all take less water than small grain, but they need it later in the season, and the ability of the irrigators of the northwest to extend the area devoted to their cultivation will largely depend on the construction of reservoirs to augment the late water supply. The problems of the northern and southern halves of the irrigated region are not the same. The character of the service which reservoirs will render to farmers is modified by climatic and other conditions to such a degree as to make a separate discussion of their influence on the agricultural growth of the two sections desirable. To illustrate what is meant by the foregoing statement it may be stated that January is a wet month in California, but a dry one in Kansas and Montana. April is a dry month in Arizona and New Mexico; a wet month in much of California, Colorado, Utah and Dakota. May is a dry month in California, New Mexico and Arizona; a wet month in Colorado, Kansas, Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. July is a very dry month in Utah, a very wet one in New Mexico. This exact reversal of conditions, so far as moisture is concerned, in the irrigation months affects in a marked degree the distribution of water to crops and the relation of reservoirs to this question, and as this follows in a general way geographic lines, it simplifies the discussion of reservoir problems to new primary law. Points of the New Stratton Bill. What Has Been Approved by the Governor. The Governor has signed the Stratton Primary Election bill, which now becomes the law with reference to holding primary elections. The polls in the new bill are an interesting parture from the previous methods holding primaries, and are as follow: the numbered sections being the main subdivisions of the Political Code: 1367. A convention to nominate candidates for public office; to be voted by the electors of the entire State designated as a State convention; to a primary election for the election delegates to such convention as St. primary. Conventions to nominate candidates for Representatives in Congress, members of the Board of Equation, or Railroad Commissioners for Senators and Assemblymen for districts including more than one county, are district conventions, and a primary election to elect delegates such conventions is a district primary. Conventions to nominate candidates county, or city and county offices and members of the senate assembly representing districts within one county, or city and county Supervisors and all township offices are designated as local conventions and a primary election to elect gates to such conventions is designed a local primary. A convention to nominate candidates for city or town centers is designated a city convention and a primary election to elect gates to such conventions, a city mary. 1368. Elections herein provided The important function of reservoirs is to bring the total supply into agreement with farmers' needs, in order that the water may be more completely utilized. The farther the natural flow falls short of accomplishing this, the more important are reservoirs and the greater the necessity for their construction. We need to know more about the quantity of water used in irrigating different crops and of the time when it should be applied to secure the largest yield. Definite information regarding both these matters must be secured before we can rightly estimate the value of an acre-foot of stored water, or the benefits of service which reservoirs can be made to render farmers and the amount of money which can be profitably expended in their construction. The few investigations made have embraced only a relatively limited field, but they have brought such uniform and significant results as to make it certain that the extension and systematic prosecution of this investigation is a matter of great public importance. The first irrigators depended wholly upon the natural flow of streams; they furnished the cheapest and most available water supply; but as ditches have multiplied and the reclaimed area has been extended and the demand on this supply increased, it has been ascertained that in order to utilize our resources and give to irrigated agriculture that security which it should possess, the flow of these streams must be equalized and governed by the construction, where possible, of a comprehensive system of storage works. The experience of Western farmers while irrigation is yet in its infancy and many rivers as yet untouched has demonstrated that on the majority of streams which have a perennial flow storage will increase the area which can be farmed from two to five times. On streams where high water does not come during the irrigation season, or which run dry in summer, reservoirs are as indispensable as ditches or plows in the utilization of the water supply in bringing crops to maturity. The longer irrigation is practiced in a particular district and the more diversified its products the greater is the need of reservoirs and the more important the service they will render in increasing the stability and value of the irrigated farm. That our appreciation of the need and value of reservoirs is destined to increase with the growing use of streams can scarcely be doubted. That has been the evolution in every other irrigated land, and there is nothing in the very nature of things to indicate that this country is to prove an exception. The great number of tanks and the immense areas they reclaim in India, the massive and costly dams in Spain and Mexico, alike with the recent governmental construction of such works in Australia and Egypt, show that they are an essential feature of every complete irrigation system. Ghoulbour Dam, recently built in the Province of Victoria, Australia, cost $700,000. The demand of crops for the moisture needed in their growth varies but little from year to year, but the flow of the streams which supply this to the irrigator fluctuates widely. It is influenced by every passing cloud, almost as much by the intensity of the summer's sun as by the depth of the winter's snow. The use of streams as nature made them is therefore attended with a waste and uncertainty which is not generally appreciated and which can scarcely be realized by those not familiar with the viciousitudes of irrigated agriculture. Irrigation has often been designated as an insurance against The fact that large volumes of water run to waste in the spring and early summer, while many fields are parched and thousands of acres of crops injured for lack of it in the last half of the season, is a matter of general observation and experience throughout a large part of the northern half of the irrigated region; but our information as to the details of the causes of this waste and the character of the remedy is largely confined to the investigations of the State engineers of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho and the agricultural experiment stations in the three first-named States. The published measurements of the duty of water made by the Colorado and Wyoming experiment stations show that if we exclude the irrigation of native hay, and consider only cultivated crops, but little water is required in irrigation before June 1; that July 1 is about the dividing date between the two halves of the irrigating season, the demand for water after that time being as great as before it. Out of 24 published observations of the time when water was used and measurements of the volume applied to crops, there were only three instances in which water was used in May, and no case where any was required in April. The published reports of the Utah Experiment station do not give the details as to the dates when water was used, but the diagrams of results all begin with June 1, which would seem to indicate that the use of water in either April or May was unimportant. The investigations into the irrigation of crops by Professor Carpenter, of the Colorado Experiment station, led him to the conclusion that on the Poudre river the need of water in irrigation after August 1 was greater than before June 1. This conclusion was reached several years ago, and as the tendency toward an increased use of water during the latter part of the season has been increasing continuously since that time, its correctness is more certain today than when announced. The State engineer of Idaho, in his report for 1896, discusses the relative requirements of crops during the different months of the growing period and gives as his conclusion the following table of percentages: | Per cent | | :--- | | May | 15 | | June | 30 | | July | 30 | | August | 15 | | September | 10 | Total | 100 The investigations of the State engineer of Wyoming have covered a period of ten years. Results are summarized in the report of that office for 1898, from which the following extract is taken: In 1898 the study of the duty of water, which had been interrupted for several conventions certifying such fact, and thereupon maryy election to elect delegates to such conventions is a district primary. Conventions to nominate candidates county, or city and county officers and members of the state assembly representing districts within one county, or city and county officials are designated as local convention and a primary election to elect gates to such conventions is designed at a local primary.

A. DERGE, The demand of crops for the moisture needed in their growth varies but little from year to year, but the flow of the streams which supply this to the irrigator fluctuates widely. It is influenced by every passing cloud, and almost as much by the intensity of the summer's sun as by the depth of the winter's snow. The use of streams as nature made them is therefore attended with a waste and uncertainty which is not generally appreciated and which can scarcely be realized by those not familiar with the vicissitudes of irrigated agriculture. Irrigation has often been designated as an insurance against drought. In a large measure this is true; on many streams absolutely so; but like many other partial truth it depends on the kind of irrigation practiced and the character of the stream from which the irrigator takes his water supply as to whether or not this insurance is reliable. In June, 1896, the users of water from the South Platte River below Denver, Colo., had reason to believe that something was lacking in their guaranty against drought. On the 1st the river carried 297 second-feet; on the 8th it had dropped to 53 second-feet. Both discharges were below its normal flow at that season of the year. All of the larger volume was needed; when the supply shrank to one-fifth of this it meant many empty ditches and parched fields. In like manner the irrigators on the Laramie River in Wyoming, who, on May 30 of the same year, had 2,000 second-feet to distribute and ten days later only 500, were led to believe that the uncertainty of rivers is almost as great as that of clouds. At the beginning of the week the supply was greater than everybody could possibly use and at its close there was not water enough to fill the canal of one appropriator. These fluctuations are not exceptional. In the same year the big Thompson River, a stream fully appropriated, carried on May 30, when the demand for water was limited, 911 second-feet; on June 30, when the demand was greatest, it had only 180 second-feet. In the same year St. Vrain Creek carried on May 30, 573 second-feet; on June 1, or two days later, 373 second feet, and on June 30, 195 second-feet. In the same year the discharge of Boulder Creek was on June 1, 466 second-feet, on July 1, 141 second-feet, or the available volume at the time irrigation was beginning was more than three times the supply when the need was greatest. The difference in the water supply for the different months of the irrigation season has much to do with the present character of irrigated agriculture and with the acreage which is required of crops during the different months of the growing period and gives as his conclusion the following table of percentages: Per cent. May.....15 June.....30 July.....30 August.....15 September.....10 Total.....100 The investigations of the State engineer of Wyoming have covered a period of ten years. Results are summarized in the report of that office for 1898, from which the following extract is taken: In 1898 the study of the duty of water, which had been interrupted for several years, was resumed. One of the objects of this investigation is to determine the relation between the needs of crops during the different months of the irrigation season and the volume of stream discharges during those months. Records of the quantity used on three different farms in widely separated sections of the State were secured. One of these was interrupted by an accident, but this did not impair its value for the purposes of this discussion. In each case the farmers were requested to begin using water as soon as they thought it would do any good, and to use as much as they thought beneficial; in other words, to irrigate just as they would if no record was being kept. In neither instance was an acre of land irrigated or a drop of water used in April or May. Reports from a half dozen canals also state that irrigation this year did not begin until June. In all the records kept by the office in this and previous years we have not a single instance where cultivated crops were irrigated before June 1. The inference seems fair, therefore, that the greater part of the water supply of our streams during the months of April and May runs to waste. This is confirmed by the stream gaugings at Uva, on the Laramie, and by our general observations. The total May discharge on Clear Creek in 1897 was 20,295 acre-feet, or more than the aggregate of July, August and September combined. In 1898 it was about equal to that of the last half of the season, while more water ran to waste in June than was used during the whole season. From these various facts we draw the following conclusions: 1. That irrigation based on the natural flow is governed by the discharge of the last half of the season, and that the limit of such irrigation has now been reached. 2. That more water runs to waste in May than is used after July 1, and the loss in May and June is greater than Continued on Fourth Page. NEW PRIMARY LAW. Of the New Stratton Bill. Which has Been Approved by the Governor. Governor has signed the Stratton Election bill, which now is the law with reference to primary elections. The points new bill are an interesting departure from the previous methods of primary elections, and are as follows: numbered sections being the new versions of the Political Code: All delegates to conventions of all parties for the purpose of nominations of candidates for office within this State shall be at elections to be known as primary elections, and conducted at time and place, and under the regimes in this chapter hereinafter stated, and not otherwise. A convention to nominate candidates for public office to be voted for electors of the entire State is elected as a State convention, and any election for the election of such convention a State may. Conventions to nominate states for Representatives in Conferences of the Board of Equity or Railroad Commissioners, or nominators and Assemblymen from states including more than one county district conventions, and a prierelection to elect delegates to conventions is a district primary. Conventions to nominate candidates for city, or city and county officers, members of the senate and publicly representing districts wholly in one county, or city and county advisors and all township officers designated as local conventions, primary election to elect delegates to such conventions is designated primary. A convention to nominate candidates for city or town offices designated a city convention, primary election to elect delegates to such conventions, a city prierelection herein provided for primary convention, who reside within the respective railroad commissioner districts and State equalization districts, shall be the delegates to the respective conventions to nominate candidates for Railroad Commissioners, and for members of the State Board of Equalization. And the petitions filed by the Congressional district committees, where their are such committees, shall state whether the delegates elected to a State convention, within such Congressional district, shall be the delegates empowered to nominate a candidate for Congress in such district, or whether separate delegates shall be selected in such Congressional district for that purpose. And petitions filed by Senatorial or Assembly district committees, from districts including more than one county, where there are such district committees, shall state whether the same delegates to the State convention residing within such district shall nominate the candidate for Senator or Assemblyman in such district, or whether separate delegates shall be elected in such district for that purpose. And unless there shall be such district petitions providing for such separate delegates in the cases aforesaid, such district candidates for Congress, State Senator, or Assemblyman shall be nominated by the delegates to the State convention who come from and reside within such respective districts. Such petition must further state the number of delegates who will compose the convention, and specify the basis of the apportionment upon which they are to be elected. Such petition may either make such apportionment in detail, or may leave such apportionment to the party committees of the respective counties or of any city and county in this State; provided, however, that any apportionment made in accordance with the provisions of this chapter must not be to, or the election by, territory not included in the same Assembly district; nor such as to allow voters in different counties to vote for the same delegate or delegates; and provided further, that the apportionment for any territory shall be upon the basis, numerically, of the average vote cast for the candidates of the respective petitioning political parties at the last preceding gen- FAKIRS COME AND GO. Two $10,000 Beauties Beating their Way "Around the World." Our readers will recall the reference in these columns last week to two musicians, giving the names of Boehls and Jacoby, concerning whom the Postmaster at Olivenheim, San Diego county, wrote Postmaster Littlefield that they were representing the San Francisco Examiner and two Eastern newspapers on a wager of $10,000 to tour the world in four years, their scheme setting forth that they should start without a dollar and subsist upon moneys collected by them en route by giving concerts. They set up the ridiculous claim that they had come to the United States for the purpose of going to Brazil to become members of Dom Pedro's imperial Brazilian band. On arriving in New York, some years ago, they discovered that that amiable monarch had been deposed and had fled his country. They were out of a job, and it seems that since then they have been engaged in "going around the world" on one scheme and another, until they arrived at the quiet town of Olivenheim, in San Diego county, a fortnight ago. Here, to judge from the letter of the Postmaster of that burg, they lived on the fat of the land for several days, tooting their cornets and raking in such shekels as the gullible Olivenheimers chose to give them. "They are fine gentlemen," wrote the Olivenheim Postmaster; "see that they get a hall to give concerts in;" and more to the same effect. Accompanying the letter was an extract from the San Diego Union, giving them a half-column complimentary notice, to the effect that they represented the San Francisco Examiner and two Eastern papers on a tour of the world for a wager of $10,000. It occurred to us the Union had been very badly taken in. The letter of the Olivenheim Postmaster and the clipping from the Union were brought to this office for Elections herein provided for known and designated as primary ones shall be conducted, managed controlled as to selection of presidents, publication of notices, great registers and supplements, so, challenging of voters, voting, printing and use of ballots, of instruction, ascertainment of acts, and all other details, in the manner, and subject to the same relations as are elections for State,县, county, city and county, city, and local officers, as far as applicable except as otherwise provided in chapter; provided, that sample shall not be printed or distribled also provided, that there shall be for each primary election previously as many ballots as there are appearing on the register or elements thereto as persons entitled to threat; also provided, that no sensation shall be allowed to any party precinct election officer, and shall be the duty of every person so enjoined to act as such primary precinct officer at such primary election to perform the services required him in such capacity.

Such last named petition must further specify whether or not the same delegates are to serve in the local convention, and also in subdivisions of such local conventions, for the purpose of nominating State Senators, members of the Assembly, supervisors, or other township and local officers, or whether different sets of delegates are to be elected to such local conventions, and must specify in detail the apportionment of delegates, whether at large, or by wards, or by primary election precincts, or combinations thereof, for proposed convention. If the apportionment last mentioned is not contained in any petition filed, then such apportionment shall be made by the board of election commissioners with whom the petition is filed before the publication provided for in section 1372 of this code. Such last named petition for participation in local primary election must be filed with the board of election commissioners of the county, or city and county, at least thirty days before the date of such primary election.
