.- 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

worked, to he sure, nnd worked vol.

for in sonic case native ImiNli had to

no thought of crop failure. Cnrc

if their lands were well plowed and
seeded. They niised more profitable
iriilueo on n few acre than our
lariHor do now on broad ttrcu. And
tlnwo same farms, eultivnted for half
