In the valleys of time mountain rivers ammd also in those of tIme plains rivers the underfiow Is a great fact. All tlmer.o valleys , thrommgh several ulegree.q of longitude , have more or ios smooth bottom iands , composed of sandy alluvia , capable of holding a large quantity of water , and underlaid by beds of gravel holding much more , Timis water Is from fifteen to temmty-fivo feet front the sur- race and extenda dowmawards as much more , lit some cases to at dcpth of fifty or tOO feet. There Ia alno in amany of these valleys a see- mud bottom twenty to forty feet higher , and the trater-benring gravel extenals under timis , giving abunmiammt amuiuply to pumps at. it depth of fifty to seventy feet. Practically there Is water to Irrigate all time bottom lantle of timeco valleys , Tue Arkansas valley , three to five miles wide , from Ilutchinson to La Junta may be came large garden ; the valley of time Smoky hliii amid the two Republicans each ton over 100 miles ; and that of the South I'latte. from Sterling to its ccnflurnce with time northern stream , may be stripte of green. cry hy moans of using time ummtheruiow , Manr smaller valleys tony add to this ecct. This Is not. a theory based on imnporfect observa- tines. Its value ilete in wimat has been ni. ready demonstrated. Near Garden City , on time Arkansas , 100 pumping plants are now irrigating orchards , gardens and fields of alfalfa , In the small valley of time Eagle- tail , a trIbutary of the Smoky huh , in Wai- lace county , 1ansas , halt a dozen small areas are being irrigated in the same way ; and both In Colorado and NebraFka the Soutim Platte has illustrated Its possibilities by pro- dtmctlve orchards and alfalfa fields thus irnl- gated. In time valleys of the mountain rivers some of timls undenilow is certainly from tlmo mountains. In time valleys of time plains rivers this Is not the case. Time water tans another source. " \'est of the 100th meridian , particularly in the nild-piar2s region-eastern Wyoming , emLtltern Colorado , western Nebraska , Kansas anal Oklahoma , with northern Texas-the plaine proper , tue roiling uplands vastly cx- coed n area time valley lands , and It be. . comneta a mmmcli more important question wimether any large part of theo areas con be made preduetivo by Irrigation. In a large part of time uplande , probably SO per cent of the whole , there Is a. great sheet of underground water , or rather serIes of sheets , timat in places approacim in thickness ammd voilmme the underilow of the great river val- ieye. a EXPERIMENTS WITIJI WELLS. , 'It must be remnembored that the whole of this region has been taken up by Vspttlera. The dry years have caueeci much of time country to be abandoned , thousand , ot quarter - ter section having reverted to the govern. muent , and mnihhlons of acres going into the hands of loan companies which do not want the land. This former settlement Imas rup- plied evidence that the country can be set- tied , not temporarily , but permanently. Timoueands of wells were dug or bored all over time piaits. It was found that there was abundance of water below the surface. The depth at which It is found varies coneid- erably , but Is practically the sante oat each lntcrfiuvlal space. That is , the upland between - tween any two rivers vlll have wells of the same depth , or they mnay become gradually deeper as you go cast or vest. 'rhus wells on the Piatte-Fronchmaml divide in Colorado and Nebraska increase from a little over 100 feet in the west to over 300 In the east. On vomno divlde also the welb are deepest near the north edge of time plateau. as there the llains marl is thickest over the watenlibear- ir.g grit. This gives us a region of deep we'ls. 300 to 400 feet , on the north edge of the table land between the two Plattes. On the Republican divides wells arc from eighty to 200 feet deep. The lesser deptlms obtain between the Smoky 11111 and time Arkansas , and again aouth of the latter river. "Some of thesa wells , 110 to 200 feet deep , havIng their water lifted by wind power , have for years supplied herds of cattle and sheep with water. Sante town comnmunities anal railway division stations have been sup- plle by steaTflPLmmPS with all the water they require. These places are scattered Grant and Imperial in Nebraska , Cheyenne Wci1 , Flagler and Holyoke in Colorado , Goodland , Sharon Sprlmigs , and St. Francis in Cansas , all testify that there is a large supply of va. to" in the wells of time plains or of the valleys - leys of the plains rivers. "Within the last four years the qimestion lass been raised , cannot this water be used for Irrigation ? It is being answered In the affirmative by actual Irrigation. We have before - fore sad ! timat areas of five to twenty-five acres are being irrigated 1mm the larger valleys by pumping the underuiow , but the mechanical dimaulty is greater on time plains , whore the water has to bft lifted over Otto lmundred feet vertically. Yet timere are no\v hundreds ot farms where several acres are being irrigated by water lifted over 100 feet. Time eotire problem of Irrigation from deep wells Is being ravpie witim , and time succosstui solution hams begun. SOURCE AND SUPPLY OFVATER. . "Without going further into details it may ho affirmed that time vieibio water of the streams , with the umutlorihow beneath their beds and under time adjacent bottom lands , i jumeient to irrigate In time great valleym , of time piaino an area probably larger in proportion thamu Is zmccompllshed in time in- rigated districts of California or Utah. and that witimout carrying time water far.

"In referring to the IrrIgatIon of time plaIns by water lifted by mechanIcal appliances I have not been unmIndful oL the desire for obtaining water from artenan ! wells. There are areas where the condItIons are favorable and wimere tue driller Imas been rewarded by a splendId otmtfiow of water. In the central part of the Dakotas timere is an area of 10,000 or 12,000 square mibee wimere , fromn several hundred f uet deep , water comnea to time surface with great pressure antI in enor- mnous volume , formIng pernaammont lakee , turnIng milis and irrigating tlmousaVnds of acres. A sinmilar area of deep artesian wells of great volume Is found in tim , , Fort Worth- Waco part of Texas. The Dakota area will probably be extended west of time Mis'ourI river , and time Texas area may also have a western extension , but there seenma to be no other such aroac on the imlains. In time valley of the Red River of time North there are artesIan wells of' email deptim , imaving their supply of water in 'timo gravels of time glacial age. In the Yebhowstommo valley of Montana there are niso np lalow ! flowIng - Ing wells from sandstones of late cretaceoums age. In the Arkantus vailey , and also a little further soutim , near time 102d meridian , tlmere ate a few feebly flowing wiis from early cretaceoun rocks at from 300 to 000 feet deep. There Is also an area'of barely twenty square miles in Mcadecounty , Kan- sate , in which a good supply of running water Is given to a large number of wells from fifty to 150 feet deep. Time water is used for irrigation. This is the only arex so far known where the water VOf thO ten- tiary rocket of the plains exists in arteolan conditions. The deeper seated' rocks imave been driiled to various depths at Olmenilmu , Kan. , CimeyenneVeils (1,770 ( feet ) and Akron , Cob. , without giving encouragement to time expectation of finding decp-seatetl arteaian water on the plains. Time main reliance of the semi-arid upiandte must b cam punmping the abimmudant sheet water of the plains tertiary - tiary formations.
