SUPERB SHOWING BY CALIFORNIA ST AMONG STATES IN IRRIGATION DEVELOPMENT Value of Land Per Acre in California Twice that of Country as a Whole, and She Has Just Begun. In this address before the National Congress at El Paso, Governor Gardee of California said in part: "Here is, perhaps, no other state or story in the union whose varied local characteristics so well illustrates what irrigation can accomplish the general good as does my state California." Her hundred million acres, extending from the latitude of Los Angeles on the south, 769 miles north the latitude of Boston, embrace their limits an extent of country in varies in annual rainfall from sixty to seventy inches. In portions of her Sierra Nevada mountains, where millions of acres of sufficient pines clothe their naked land in those portions of her Coast Range, where other millions of acres heat redwoods tower ten-score feet above heaven, the snow and rainfall simple to feed the streams running through the valleys and to furnish irrigation water for all the year. In the valleys the rainfall varies from fifty inches to four or five, according to climate. But through them comes Sacramento and the San Joaquin half hundred of their tributaries. Some portions of California are more alive to the value of irrigation than could not spend money to a better purpose or produce better results than by providing irrigation works in such arid places as those of the southwestern portions of the United States. And I confidently look to see the day when the national appropriations for irrigation will go hand in hand with those for navigation, rivers and harbors, fortifications, the army and the navy. While all these are necessary, irrigation is also necessary. And, while they make possible our national existence and increase in population and wealth, irrigation makes them certain. Congress could, in my opinion, do nothing that would so surely add to our national prosperity as would the expenditure of large sums in irrigation works. California stands first among the states of the union in irrigation development. In all points denoting progress in irrigation she leads, with the single exception of the number of acres irrigated, in which she is slightly behind Colorado. She has 8000 more irrigators, however, than Colorado and the value of her irrigated crops exceeds Colorado's by seventeen million dollars. While the average value of irrigated land in the United States is $42.53 per acre, in California it is $89.19. The average value per acre of irrigated crops for the arid states is $14.81. In California it is $28.47. And California has just begun. Her irrigated acres number about one and one-half millions of her one hundred millions of total acreage, and the products therefrom are valued at thirty-two millions of dollars. It is estimated that in the great valley drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and adjacent thereto (to say nothing of the entire southern one-fourth of the state and many other portions thereof), there are twelve million acres capable of irrigation. So there is room yet for progress. WATER SUPPLY BEING WASTED UNDERGROUND RESERVOIRS STEADILY DECREASING Report of Government Expert Possessing Great Value to Weftowners and Users of Water. While irrigators in this section have been advised to rely for their future supply of water upon their pumping plants, it is useful to note the following article upon the subject, by a government engineer. The facts here presented are from the pen of W. C. Mendenhall of the United States geological survey, and are taken from the last issue of Forestry and Irrigation: In no part of the United States have the methods of irrigation engineering been so highly developed as in Southern California. A few of the less important old canals are cut in earth and are unlined, with irregular grades and leaky beds, but all the more important systems have been built by engineers after careful surveys, are cement lined or of concrete construction, many of them covered and supplied with most effective heatworks and distributing systems. Recent practice has been in the direction of using concrete pipe for the main lines, thus preventing all loss of water from leakage or evaporation in transit from its source to the point of distribution. In late years, because of the complete appropriation of all the surface streams and a natural desire to extend the areas so profitably cultivated, water users have turned their attention—occur under these conditions—the synergeic rock basins, which come to be recognized as types gions in which artesian waters are of little importance here. These special artesian creeks are characteristic of these fans and the coastal plain depressions certain definite attributes which are advantageous from view of the water user. In the first place the ground loose, free and coarse, so that a high transmission capacity passes through them readily these conditions there is no failure from the cause eased by the Denver basin, for example an inability on the part of the bearing rock to transmit fast as they are withdrawn wells. But this very openness another danger, that of exhausting the stored waters, which flows to the point of exit that shall often ten-inch bore have yielded as four hundred miner's inch. Again, in the majority of these first water-bearing strata at a very moderate depth than 100 feet. Small wells sunk to such depth at very small—so light, indeed, that rancher found it more economical number on a small tract that tribute the water from accent This condition has encouraged drafts upon the supply than made in an artesian basin with waters were farther from town and less readily accessible. In its preliminary work up underground waters of Southernnia, the United States geology has mapped the principal areas in their present and final outlines. The results rather astonishing fact that at this semi-arid region contain square miles of artesian water lands, distributed through END OF RACE IS DRAWING NEAR Large Vote Plumped In For Contestants---All Anxious to Know Who Will Get the Beautiful Piano Much activity has been manifested in the contestants and their friends during the past week. As a result of efforts their votes have been mailed and their friends will be with greater effort to secure them during any previous week of contest.

A few weeks more remain to work and now is the accepted time. Miss Belle Lyons plumps in 2600 votes this week in addition to her vote of last week, which is indeed, a splendid showing. Miss Nona McWilliams is a close second this week, having made a gain of 1825 over her last vote. Mrs. Chas. Bauer's vote is increased 1925 votes this week.

It is estimated that in the great valley drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and adjacent thereto (to say nothing of the entire southern one-fourth of the state and many other portions thereof), there are twelve million acres capable of irrigation. So there is room yet for progress. Some portions of California are more alive to the value of irrigation than others. South of Tehachapi, in Southern California, irrigation is prized as the very life-blood of the country. To the north, the San Joaquin valley is coming to depend more and more on irrigation as the only sure producer of crops. In the Sacramento valley the old regime still holds sway, although the awakening is near at hand. This lesson is having its results, viz., that those sections of California where irrigation is most used have had the greatest growth in wealth and population, and are receiving more bountifully the good things of life. Go to the Derrick saloon for Ironbrew, Cook's water, Shaw's Champagne Ginger Ale, Castle Rock mineral water, Eubanks & Cottle. The origin of these basins in its broad outlines is simple, although the details may often be most complex. In general the high mountains are areas which have been uplifted during the crustal movements that have been so marked a feature of the later geologic history of the region, and the valleys are areas which have been depressed during the same processes. These furnish unusual types of valleys whose width and extent bear no particular relation to the streams that flow through them. The normal stream valley, unlike these California valleys, has been cut by the stream which occupies it, is broad and flat where the stream is large, constricted where the stream is small, and is in every way adjusted to the stream that has produced it. But these basins which together constitute the region known as the valley of Southern California, owe their origin to earth movements instead of stream action, and the principal function of the streams has been not to deepen and broaden them, but to fill them up, smoothing them and partially burying the inequalities which resulted from the crinkling and buckling of the earth's crust, to which they are due. Thus, as the San Bernardino mountains were uplifted and the valley to the south of them sank, the streams rising in the high range carried quantities of detritus, boulders, gravel, sand and clay into the lowland, and there deposited it. The rock floor of this valley is below sea level, while its present surface is 1,000 to 1,500 feet above. This surface has been thus raised by the accumulation of material brought in by the mountain streams—loose, porous detritus saturated by the mountain waters, and so constituting a great underground reservoir. Similarly, while the ridge which in various parts is known as the San Jose hills, the Puenta hills, and the Santa tributary systems have been built by engineers after careful surveys, are cement lined or of concrete construction, many of them covered and supplied with most effective heat works and distributing systems. Recent practice has been in the direction of using concrete pipe for the main lines, thus preventing all loss of water from leakage or evaporation in transit from its source to the point of distribution. In late years, because of the complete appropriation of all the surface streams and a natural desire to extend the areas so profitably cultivated, water users have turned their attention more and more to the subterranean supplies, and in some cases flourishing communities have been built up which depend entirely upon these for their irrigation water. As a result of the geological climatic process which have given the picture-esque combinations of mountain and plain that make up the landscape and much of the charm of Southern California, a number of deep and capacious underground reservoirs have formed, which through the past centuries have been charged with the waters flowing from the mountains, and are now yielding these waters that the tributary lands may be made fruitful.

NUMBER 5 The special artesian conditions which are characteristic of the alluvial fans and the coastal plain deposits possess certain definite attributes, some of which are advantageous from the point of view of the water user. In the first place the gravels are loose, free and coarse, so that they have high transmission capacity, the water passing through them readily. Under these conditions there is no possibility of failure from the cause effective in the Denver basin, for example, namely, an inability on the part of the water-bearing rock to transmit the waters as fast as they are withdrawn by the wells. But this very openness creates another danger, that of exhaustion of the stored waters, which flow so freely to the point of exit that shallow wells of ten-inch bore have yielded as much as four hundred miner's inches. Again, in the majority of the basins, the first water-bearing stratum is found at a very moderate depth, often less than 100 feet. Small wells may be stuck to such depth at very slight cost—so light, indeed, that ranchers have found it more economical to sink a number on a small tract than to distribute the water from a central well. This condition has encouraged larger drafts upon the supply than would be made in an artesian basin where the waters were farther from the surface and less readily accessible. In its preliminary work upon the underground waters of Southern California, the United States geological survey has mapped the principal artesian areas in their present and their original outlines. The results reveal the rather astonishing fact that at one time this semi-arid region contained 375 square miles of artesian water bearing lands, distributed through a number braic sum of these factors, of which the principal are the rainfall and the direct drafts upon supply, has without question been a loss for the ten years past in most parts of Southern California. In a few cases the lowering of the plane of saturation has been serious, a drop of sixty or seventy feet being recorded extremes of the period from 1900 to 1904, during which the deficiency of rainfall has been roughly 20 per cent. In other sections where the body of saturated gravels drawn upon has been larger, or where the drains have not been so great, the diminution of supply has been less marked, but the phenomena of a lower ground-water level, shrinking artesian areas and a diminishing artesian flow are general. This fact is not in itself enough to justify alarm. It is recognized that the proper function of the stored supplies is to tide the communities through the dry period. They will be most heavily drawn upon when the rainfall is lightest, and will invariably shrink, just as a nation's gold reserve will shrink in the stress of war. As a compensating influence they would be subject to comparatively light drafts when the rainfall is heavy, as less water is required for irrigation then, and the surface streams flowing near their maximum are supplying the greater part of this minimum required amount. It is during such periods that the ground-water level should be stored and the artesian areas expanded to their original outlines. As the past decade has, on the whole, been dry, during which the precipitation is well below the general average, a decline is not a matter of surprise. The danger to irrigating communities which depend upon subterranean waters whose amount cannot be directly measured, and is therefore peculiarly liable to overestimation by our optimistic American communities, is that they do not occur under these conditions.

In its preliminary work upon the underground waters of Southern California, the United States geological survey has mapped the principal artesian areas in their present and their original outlines. The results reveal the rather astonishing fact that at one time this semi-arid region contained 375 square miles of artesian water bearing lands, distributed through a number of basins—that is, artesian conditions existed under approximately one-sixth of the valley lands which could be made stillable and productive by the application of water. In addition, there were large areas bordering the artesian belts in which the ground water lay near enough to the surface to be accessible by pumps of various sorts, and in some districts these have been extensively used for irrigation. The principal artesian basins are those of the coastal plain, Chino, San Bernardino and San Jacinto, with approximate original areas of 295, 240 and 14 square miles, respectively. The water supplied by each of these has been extensively drawn upon during the past decade, the heaviest drafts being from the coastal plain and the San Bernardino sources. In the former case the waters supply the towns of the coast, and are used for the diversified crops of citrus and deciduous fruits, alfalfa, walnuts, grapes and celery, which are raised there. The underground San Bernardino waters, supplying the towns of San Bernardino, Colton and Riverside, are used for local irrigation within the San Bernardino valley, and are the principal source from which the splendid Riverside colony draws its supply for irrigation. These subterranean sources have been most extensively developed within the past ten years. Practically all the acreage added to the irrigated districts within that time have been through the addition of artesian or pumped waters to the surface supply. These same years have on the whole been years of low rainfall in Southern California, just as the previous decade, during which these developments began, was one of high rainfall. Under the combination of heavy withdrawals of ground waters and a shortage of rain, which is depended upon to recharge the subterranean reservoirs, these have declined notably. As a result the original area of 375 square miles of artesian lands has shrunken 33 per cent. to 250 square miles. Pressures and yield in wells which are still flowing have notably decreased, the ground water level outside the artesian belts has declined, and a feeling of uneasiness pervades some of the irrigating communities as to the permanence of their supply. On the whole, the subterranean reservoirs must be regarded as resisting the drafts upon them remarkably well.

"Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott's Emulsion is the modern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is something about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophosphites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.
