WATER FOR ARID WEST Government is Undertaking New Enterprises to Bring Water Upon the Thirsty Countryside CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D.C., Aug. 8.—Five new irrigation projects in the west will give high agricultural value to a total of about one million acres of land. That is their direct purpose. But incidentally they will have a material effect in doing away with floods, clarifying the waters of the Missouri and its tributaries, maintaining a steady flow in those rivers and developing a large amount of power. The five object lessons to which the president will be able to point are the irrigation projects known as the Milk and Sun river in Montana, the Shoshone in Wyoming, the Belle Fourche in South Dakota and the North Platte in Wyoming and Nebraska. The effect of these projects upon floods and in regulating the Missouri is not left to the realm of speculation. The basis of success in irrigation, which is the chief object of each project, depends upon catching and holding flood waters, which formerly ran off unhindered, carrying destruction with them and augmenting the floods of the dread Missouri. In connection with each project a great dam is being constructed. With its help will be formed a mammoth reservoir, in which the flood waters of the spring and fall will be held in the leash. The smallest of these reservoirs will hold enough to cover 203,770 acres of land with progressed a little further, for electricity of the farmer's principalities in the direct each project will be taken stallation of the necessary water and the operation of the plant in the hands of the federal government temporarily, the reclamation viding the necessary legal Power will be sold at cost being made only for maintenance and depreciation end of ten years, after the reclamation construction made good by the land or electrical plant will pass possession. Thus the com­munity vicinity of each of the four will guarantee perpetual ownership a public utility which will more and more prized as the ply diminishes. The cheapest electricity will make it serve families of very moderate light, and for power in a variety of activities about the farm. Auction Sale Horses Saturday, August 15th, at 10:00 A.M.

STUFF Owner and Real Estate Transfer Walter M Rose and wife to ject, depends upon catching and holding flood waters, which formerly ran off unhindered, carrying destruction with them and augmenting the floods of the dread Missouri. In connection with each project a great dam is being constructed. With its help will be formed a mammoth reservoir, in which the flood waters of the spring and fall will be held in the leash. The smallest of these reservoirs will hold enough to cover 203,770 acres of land with water one foot in depth, and the largest will hold enough to cover 1,025,000 acres to the depth of one foot. Altogether the reservoirs will have a storage capacity of 2,585,770 acre feet. Each acre foot is equal to 43,560 cubic feet, and if you wish to form some adequate conception of the great mass of water, you have but to figure out for yourself the cubical contents of all of the reservoirs. It will take twelve figures to tell the story. The important point is that it is known, through figures gathered during many years, that each reservoir is large enough to hold all the flood water which its particular river will pour into it. Each of these reservoirs is situated either at the headwaters of the Missouri or at the headwaters of rivers which are tributary to the Missouri, and so the effect upon that worst of American rivers is direct. For its effect on floods the North Platte project will be most notable. The Platte river has had a bad reputation for its antics. It has been estimated that its flood rampages, before it joins the Missouri, do a damage of at least a million dollars a year. The dam in connection with the North Platte irrigation project will cost just about a million dollars, and it will hold more than a million acre feet of flood water. As the reservoir is situated at the headwaters of the North Platte, it will have a direct effect upon the lower river. Upon the South Platte, which also contributes to the floods of the Platte, the government has no reservoir. But private interests, encouraged by the success of government irrigation, are already constructing dams and are thus co-operating in retaining floods. In a similar way the Milk and Sun river projects will directly affect the headwaters of the Missouri in northwestern Montana; the Shoshone Real Estate Transfer Walter M Rose and wife to son—Lot 8, blk L, Center to heim; $10.

UNCLAIMED LETTERS Unclaimed letters in the postoffice for week ending Auctioneer Varneta, *Lillian Ro Varno*, Margaret Martins, Gu Fritz Kaiser, Mrs. Allen, D Upon the South Platte, which also contributes to the floods of the Platte, the government has no reservoir. But private interests, encouraged by the success of government irrigation, are already constructing dams and are thus co-operating in retaining floods. In a similar way the Milk and Sun river projects will directly affect the headwaters of the Missouri in northwestern Montana; the Shoshone project will affect the Big Horn, whose waters ultimately enter the Missouri; and the Belle Fourche project will affect the Cheyenne, which has a reputation for floods and which adds to the volume of the Missouri. The holding of 2,585,770 acre feet of water by these five reservoirs means more than accomplishing just that much in preventing floods. It means that these waters lose their power to carry down mud and silt into the Missouri. And if it were not for mud and silt, the Missouri would not have such a bad reputation. It is this burden of solids which clogs its channels and which causes the cutting of new channels and the destruction of agricultural land. In the dry season the five reservoirs will become the means of swelling the flow of the Missouri and its tributaries. From the reservoirs the water will be gradually released. Much of it will be used for irrigation, but not all. And of that which is used upon the land it is estimated upon good authority that about 30 per cent will find its way back into the streams, largely through seepage. All of these irrigation projects except the Milk will guarantee to each neighborhood abundance of very cheap power. As soon as construction has A little further, the orders sericity of the farmers and mucles in the direct vicinity of project will be taken. The invention of the necessary machinery operation of the plant will be bands of the federal government rily, the reclamation acts pronecessary legal authority. will be sold at cost, an allowing made only for operation, ance and depreciation. At the ten years, after the cost of the construction has been good by the land owners, the plant will pass into their own. Thus the communities in city of each of the four projects manatee perpetual ownership of utility which will become more prized as the fuel suppishes. The cheapness of this city will make it serviceable in of very moderate means for power in a great many areas about the farm.

STUART, Owner and Breeder. Real Estate Transfers M Rose and wife to N P Han- Fine Opportunity for Investors Chas. E. Jones made a trip to Beatty and Rhyolite last week in the interest of the Beatty Milling, Mining & Reduction Co. This company is building a 10 stamp custom mill to work the ores of the Bullfrog district. After a thorough investigation of the West Extension mine, which is to furnish the ore for the mill, Mr. Jones finds that this mine alone has enough ore blocked out and on the dump to furnish a 20-stamp mill for the next two years to come to say nothing of the Transvaal mine and other properties of this district which are also anxiously waiting the completion of the mill. The 10 stamps now being constructed have been paid for in full. It is now the company's intention to add another ten stamps to the present ten now under construction, and Mr. Jones advises the company to hurry the completion of the second 10 stamps as a 20-stamp mill can be operated with the same amount of labor as one 10-stamp battery. At the same time by adding the extra 10 stamps it doubles the capacity of the mill, hence it doubles the earning capacity, the only extra expense being the extra amount of power used. The first 10-stamp battery will be in operation inside of 30 days. It is the company's intention to put a block of 20,000 shares of stock on the market in this vicinity and the beauty of investing in this proposition is that the investor reaps the benefit of the earnings of the first 10 stamps while the second 10 are being installed. Mr. Jones has, as stated above, made a thorough investigation of the mines, the machinery now on the ground, as well as the mill site, water, which is in great abundance, railroad facilities, etc., and is very frank in saying that Beatty is an ideal spot for a custom mill, and predicts that within a year's time this company will have 50 stamps dropping.

The ores of the West Extension and Transvaal mines are free milling gold ores and easily treated. A 10 stamp battery can easily crush 35 tons of West Extension ore per day, the net profit at that rate will be $3.50 per ton or $122.50 every 24 hours; 20 stamp will practically double the earnings stated above. This is not a mining proposition in any sense of the word, but a straight, commercial, safe investment, and one that is bound to pay good dividends to all interested. Mr. Jones advises his friends and acquaintances to purchase a block of this stock. He says it is a first-class, safe investment. Any one wanting further information or desirous of investing, can call on Mr. Jones. There is no commission or graft in this proposition, and the mill is being constructed and will be managed by first-class, competent men. CHAS. E. JONES. University Farm The little town of Davis will be filled with enthusiastic farmers next fall when the short courses are on. Grain growers, dairymen, stockmen, horticulturists, vineyardists, poultrymen and creamerymen are all looking forward to the good things in store, and fully 200 of them are expected to be present. Those farmers' courses in agriculture are the grandest thing in the educational line that has ever struck the state. There are five different courses, and so arranged that every man, no matter what his line in agriculture, can find something he needs. It means dollars and cents to him to attend, even if for not more than a week.

High Finance The excursion train was crowded, and the man in the center of the car knew it would be impossible to get out through the jam to get something to eat without losing his seat and perhaps missing his train. He looked longingly at the restaurant across the tracks, and seeing an urchin sitting on the iron pipe near by, he called him over, saying: "Here, son, take this quarter and run over to that restaurant and get me a sandwich. And get yourself one," he called after the boy. "You are easy," said the excursionist beside the man. "You'll never see that kid or your quarter again." And as the train whistled at the moment he feared it would be true. Just then, however, the boy came running out of the restaurant with a large fat sandwich in his hand. The train was moving as he handed up the change, and then, taking a huge mouthful of the sandwich, he called to the departing man with the hunger, "They only had one left. Thanks." L. C. Vanderburg of Fullerton heard a noise at his chicken house at midnight the other night and went to see what it was all about. Other members of the family got up at the same time.
