will likewise atlord homesites and

It has often bono said that there are

It la needless to say that the Milwau

ALTURAS PEOPLE
The Alturas Republican begins to
see matters In their true light, so far
a regards the construction of the
grade out of that town, which is
beaded for Lakeview. Its issue of
the 38th ult. contains the following:
The work on the eo called "Auto
mobile road"betweea here and Goose
Lake, is etill in progress. We have
talked with different parties who
have viewed the work which has been
going ou there and we find that all of
our people do not fall Into the idea
that this la an automobile road.
In tho first place, it seamed strange
to us that anyoompany would expeud
the sum uf $00,000 or 70,000 just for
the purpose of constructing au auto
mobile ilue from here to Ooose Lake.
The road does not. commenoe right
and end right for such a venture. If
any compauy wanted to construct au
automobile road la this oountry at
such au expense, it would build the
road from Hurtles here. It Is believed
thut a good road could be built from
Hartles here at this price and theu
passeugers could come by this way
aud save time and uiouey.
It is believed by many of our citl
zeus that the work now iu progress
nortn of Alturas, is thut of the N. O.
O. There is some ground for this
belief when it is known that youug
Huuuaway was here about the time
the crews' started to work and that it
seems to be the N. O. O. crews whloh
are doing the work Mr. Duuaway
has beou aooompanlod by some of the
foreuieu of the construction work of
this road.
It Is alleged that the N. C. U.
knowing that he oouutry is generally
hostile to their movements ou
account of their unsavory operations.

Th tact of the matter is that the

Government Facts and
Figures Showing What
Has Generally Been
Accomplished
The man, or the men, who talk
against any country that is capable of
being irrigated, no matter how deso
late its nature, before the fructifying
water is brought thereon, in this day
. and ate of acknowledged success in
irrigation the world over, only makes
pitiful exhibition of bis own imbecil
ity, or. worse still, of unpardonable
' mendacity.
! Facts are bard to get over, aud the
, United States government does not
isaue statements at variance with the
truth. Therefore when a record of
the production from farms irrigated
by the projects of the United States
I Reclamation Service is announced
i bv the government, it can be
depended upon that those facts set
j down are beyond the pale of question.
lo irrigation as in everything else
; the best success comes to those who
1 use their hiatus to the best advantage.
The government has learned by invee
I tigttion that in most instances the
land is being farmed by men ignorant
, of irrigation farming and often by
men who know but little of any kind
of agriculture, so that necessarily the
' production figures are not as great aa
may be expected when both men and
machinery become more experienced.
However, some of the figures publish
ed in the Reclamation Record show
excellent results. Fur instance on a
108-acre farm in the Klamath Pro
ject. California-Oregon, planted in
alfalfa, barley, oats hay and pasture
there was an estimated yield of $3002
not counting the stock and poultry.
Estimating the cost ot production at
$10 per acre this leaves a net retura
of $17.80 per acre or $1922. In Mon
tana on the Huntley Project, the
average yield of sugar beeta has been
about 15 tons per acre, and these
! beets have been worth fa per ton on
, board cars at the nearby railroad
! station. In the same country, jields
j of 30 bushels of wheat per acre and 60
bushels of oats have been secured. On
the JNortn natte rrojeci, iMeorasaa
Wyoming. one farmer reports 578
bushels of potatoes on l1 acres, and
70 bushels of oats per acre. In New
i Mexico, the Carlsbad Project, 23 tone
of alfalfa were grown on o acres, wicn
22 acre feet of water per acre. In
South Dakota, the Helle-Fourche
Project, one man reports the follow-
i iog production per acre : 10 Dusneis
of oat9, 45 bushels ot corn and 200
jgjSfizzJl
country raiBed Jou busbeis or pota
toes per acre. The average yield on
. about ;XX) acres in this project are
given as follows :
Outs. 20b0 acres, average yield. 42
busbeis per acre average gross, 600
acres, 20 bushels per acre $113; native
hsy, 320 acres. 1 too per acre, $3:
potatoes. 80 acres, 90 ushels per acre ;

there were some excellent fardena

All of the farmers agree thai csn
siderab'e capital is needed for the
successful posecutico of i&e work,
and that as time goes oi the yielda
will be increased.
