A Vatit Area Iliu-hnd. l nt Little of It Col- tliati'd. The first biennial report of Mr Elwood Mead , state engineer ol Wyoming , details the progress of irrigation in tbe state and furnishes instructive data on this important branch * f industrial development. Aooordlng t the report , "there are now in Wyoming over S.OKMKK ) acres of land under ditches and miheejnable of Iwhig irricated from them That this lanfl is not being ir rigated is manifest to any one who knows anytbitur about the agricultural productions c f tbe state. Two millinn acres of irrigated land -would make IS.riiW lVi-aere ( farms. The census report for ItisM nbows tbe a-ver- ace value OT farm products on binds culti vated in this state to lie $ s.ii' > jier acre The returns from tbe totul acreage tinder ditch , if cultivated , would , in two .years , more than equal tbe present astiessod valuation of tbe state That this is not the present condition of affairs is due to tbe enormous disparity iKitween tbe acreage -trailer ditch and tbe acreace undei cultivation Aocordiug to the census report for 1S1U only atiuut 10 per cent of the land under ditch is irrigated and oulv ab ut 1 ] er cent of tbe land under ditch is cultivated , tbe census report showing that 2USUHKI acres -were irricsted und a little over ua.OOO acres devoted to the production of cereals " Irrlcation Iioti < rf Encmeer Mead contends that tbe first steps toward tbe reclamation of tbe state were not taken by farmers but by stockmen , Tbe earlier ditches were not built by men who made the production of crops their principal Irasiness , but constructed ditches us an incident in the munagmnent of ranee stock in order to provide -winter fetid. Not only were the first ditches built under these conditions , bat also more than half of all the ditches in tbe state. Tbe managers and owners of herds of-range cattle recognised the future value and im portance of the irrigable lands , and the desert land act pave a ready means of ac quiring title In tbe mare pros/ierous days of the cattle business , efforts to secure irrirable lands reached an enormous , jnagni- tude and the building of ditches -was a nec essary adjunct. That their reclamation would have followed rapidly , under favor able conditions , there can be no question The-wunr was Interrupted by boavy losses in tbe cattle business uud the delay in .se- curtug lund titles. Tlie expenses of reclama tion ulso proved hearier thaa at first antici pated , HunchiM } the Limit. "We have "been building cheap ditches rather than reclaiming the liest laud or utilizing the best sources for a perennial -water supply The extension of irrigation by such methods has about reached its limit. Nearly all the small streams in the eastern half of the state have been fully nppropri- nted. Many have more ditches diverting -water than can tie supplied. On practically all there is u shortage during the latter part of the irrigating season. Much -water still runs to waste in Aiiril and Muy , but until storaceworts are constructed to conserve this the limit of agricultural extension from small streams has "been reached , so far as the eastern half of the state is concerned. " Truii loraiing ; a Det-crt- " American Desert " " -which "The Great , oc cupied a large slice of the transmissonri country in old geographies , disapj > eared like a mirage before the inrush of settlers. Al though the designation was a figment of the imagination of early explorers , it served as a scarecrow for a time and frightened many away until the progressive pioneer demon strated the fertility of the maligned country. A similar transformation is about to bewitnessed in the Mojave desert in southern California. The recion is u desert in name only. It simply lacks moisture. This idea hus impressed a syndicate of cap italists. The members have under taken to build in tbe nar rows of the Mojare river a dam 171 feet high und from 75 to 150 lett lone , in order to pro- Tide an irrigatinc reservoir from which water may be supplied to irrigate the so- called Mejave desert A BUTVCV just com pleted shows that f ull > 'O.OJD acres can tie irrigated from this reservoir It is lieliered that tbe Mojave desert is quite as roclaiinable by the proper -use of water us many other places in California which have been converted from arid wastes of sand into fertile.gardens and orchards. Anaheim , for example , tvhon it was first taken up for settlement , was as uninviting aud forbidding a plaoe a could well be imag ined. , and murh of tbe land in K rn county which new produces almost fabulous wus. to look at , nothing but a bsd of dry and sterile sand. Protokt'd : There are jieriods in the lives of some husbands when forbearance ceases to be a virtue and toleration becomes a crime. Such an occasion confronted Mr. Amos Herr of Rook Si > rtngs , Wye. , and he proved equal to it. For some time past Mr. and Mrs Herr agreed to disagree , and finally separated , uach occupying different apartments in the same house. The only restriction placed on Mrs. Heir's liberties was that of rooeJrinc other men. But Mrs Herr rebelled and , when Mr Herr remonstrated , Mrs Herr and Hurry Gilmwe , u town sjiort , fell upon Amos uud kicked him out of tbe bouse. To a man of Mr Herr's mild , forpivinc disposition , this truatment on his threshold wus mere than be oould rationally bear. But tbe in dignity wus rnbbod in. Tbe pair caused his arrest fer disturbing tbe peace , aud be was convictca and fined.

A rather romantic marriage has just occurred in York-county. The daughter of a successful farmer there was betrothed in her infancy to a playmate by her parents. , according to the custom in Germany In after years the parents came to America and ] settled in York county. The old lietrothal was forgotten by the young laoy and she promised her hand to another and was mak ing preparations for the wedding day , -which was to occur in a few weeks. The joung lover , however , remembered the ceremony of his youth and last week appeared aud demanded the hand of tbe maiden. Hewon his wise and the American engagement has been permanently .leclarod off. i It is not every man who has such a record in tbe matrimonial line us has Mr Adolpa Peterson of Portal , says the Pa pillion Times Within n year he has Deen twice legally { i ' divorced from one woman and twice married I to unother. About a year ago he procured a I divorce from Alice Peterson , particulars of which are familiar to all readers of the } t Times.and a few months thereafter he took us | ' biswife Miss Annie Theissen. Last full the | 1 divorce -was set aside by Judge Scott and Adolph found himself with two wives on his hands He sent his second wife to her iwople toj-emam until matters could be adjusted so I that they might lecally enjoy wedded life- Last month Alice Peterson procured a divorce - vorce from Adlph in tbe Custsr county court. This left Adalph free to call his second end wife to his home acain. But in order to cover all legal defects it was thought best to hare tbe marriage ceremony performed again , so last Friday evening , in tbe pres ence of a few intimate friends , County Judge Langdon united Adolph and Annie in the holy bonds of wedlock. Truly. Mr. Peterson has bad more than his share of matrimonial troubles. Let TIS hope that with his new wife he may enjoy enough of life's sweets to make him forget the troiibulous past. Nncgi'ls o !
