These men were ap proached on thin matter because they, aro tbo rich ami well-to-do men of that Mictivn today and hnvc been for many years. They largely own tho business blocks in Asliliuiil nnd Hi major sIuim f its hank stocks. J'lioy own tho fine homes, the tlior ouglihted livestock, tho hi antonio Mlee and the choicest poultry. Tiny have the fine orchards, vineyards and gardenw, the attraetivo lawns, hedg ed with roses nnd floeeily flecked with flowers. In short, they have iiiu utimus 01 comion and onjoy whatever luxury taste and whim may ftuggost. II rroa,1it Thcw Wraith. .- Tho answers to my question wore pnu'ticnlly thu sumo in every case. Substnntiully, it may ho snid, theso old claims were taken oriRinally bo cutiso they wore located on mountain Ktienms at tho point at which tho latter emerge from tho rugged can yons upon tho plain or tho valley. Theso streams promised an ahundnut Hiipply of water for stock nnd for pwrden use nnd, finally, for tho brondcr neieago brought under pro ductive tillage in field crops. Oil the water thus supplied the old-timo fanners depended for crop siibteu nnoe. It was well along in sumnior tmic, porhnp-., before- thoy needed to npply artificial irrigation, hut when tho orojw nppunriMl to need tho moist ure thoy had thu iield laterals ready lor it n conveyance to any pint of tho ranch. Thus they succeeded. Ahund nnt yields of grains were ohlnined; grout crop of grwMi for pasture nnd Imy; houutiful gardeiiH loaded with succulent, hoth for the hoiiso hold mid the Imrnynrd; fnt hogs and poultry; well-rounded steers, con tented milch cows with their gener ous, daily contrihutiou for the family Initio mid the pig trough mid spirited Howes, the prnle ot the highways. I'liiril on Irrigation These propel lien s.mnied to (tecum ulnto without much effort on tho jwrl of the pioneer fiuuier. Thoy worked, to he sure, nnd worked vol. iniitly, iiuwy of them courageously, for in sonic case native ImiNli had to bo cloHred away for additional areas for field and tuettdow.

They niised more profitable iriilueo on n few acre than our lariHor do now on broad ttrcu.
