NILE OF AMERICA.
Colorado River Is the Largest In the
Arid Region Mr. Newell Speaks
of Irrigation Possibilities.
When asked as to the character of
tne country through which ho passed
on his Journey down the river Mr,
Newell said:
"The Colorado river Is tho largest
liver or tho arid region. It can bo
compared with the Nllu In slzo and is
similar In many characteristics. It
differs In tho flow, for this is not as
regular or as well sustained, because
of tho fact that there aro no laltos
at the head of tho river .o Insure per
manency of such flow. It is navigable
with difficulty, howovor, for light
boats on tho lower part of tho river.
A largo part of its course is through
canyons where the water cannot be
diverted upon tho surrounding laud.
The lower .fiver passes through an
open countiy, varied by a fow narrow
valleys. Tho fall of rain thero ih
very slight and canals taken out fill
very quickly with silt. Slit Is tho
great obstaclo to tho development of
the irrigation feature and the ditches
will have to be given a heavy grade.
'Reservoirs aro necessary to store
and control tho silt. Small works .are
impossible and largo ones will ho
very costly. The land to be reclaimed
Is probably as good as any in the
United States, The problem of get
ting water upon it is not easy of solu
tion, for their aro many alternative
plans. The land will produce large
cropsln frequent succession, ono fol
lowing tho other. as fast as it can bo
planted, grown and harvested." j
