Elwood Mead, the j head of the Irrigation department of the 'Australian government, says: "The water system of this company will be adequate to water 100.000 acres." The Han I.uls valley la crossed diagonally from northwest to southeast by the nlo tirande del Nort. the same stream which l.ono miles to the south forms the boun dary beta-een Texss and Old Mexico. From th mountains to the westwsrd the Conejos, Alamosa, I .a Jara and Kan Anions rivers fluw Into llie nio Uranrie. From the east the Culebra. Trlnchera and Costilla creeks and their, tributaries flow a largw amount tf water. The northern end of the valley Is a closed, basin, with a chain of lakes at the lowest, point, but many streams come from the Hangre de Chrlsto and Coi hetoim ranges. WhIlo the land In the valley lies level, It all has a slope which enables Irrigating canals to be built at low expense There Is now under Irriga tion In the valley about 600,000 .acres of land. of which about half Is watered by the Wo Grande. VP to a few years ago this irrigated Isnd was generally held In largo tracts, but recently It haa been largely divided1 Into eighty or IGO-acre firms snd sold to 'hew settler. T meet the demand for Kin Luis valley land dozens or new Irrigation enterprises hava ben Inaugurated, most of which depend upon reservoir construction to make their supply of water dependable. fieitlnarr r Mrctlos). The San Luis valley waa once a great fresh water lake, extending more than 100 miles north and south and forty miles east and west, walled In on eve.-y aide by moun tain ranges, except, for a narrow gorge through, whloh the water cut Its way toward the south.-There waa great vol canic activity on .the mountains on each side and tho rivers that flowed Into the lake brought down' many cublo miles of debris. :.The coarser material aettled near the meulhs of ths rivers, but the finer ' particle- Covered the lake bottom nearer th center, .Thus the lake gradually filled Into an -almost level plain. In the mean time the gorge which drained It gradually deepened until the lake bottom waa left dry,' with a - half doxen livers flowing across It, Dot In Valleya, but almost on top' of the' ground.' HerSuss of the peculiar natur of Ita formation, land In the Ban Luis vallev rfif. fers In appearance; from that which people! irom me east are aocuatomed to. As the rivers filled .the old lake up with soil and other materials the larger atones and peb bles and the heaviest, richest soila were deposited Together' around the outer edge of the valley. Tha finer, lighter soils were brought to-the center. On the outer edges thrt slope of ths valley Is now from thirty to forty -five feet to the mile, and this, with the very loose, coarse subsoil, gives almost' perfect drainage. Toward the center of ths valley the soli is denser and the slope much lefs, ranging from nothing up to foufset to the mile. People from those parts of the, United States where tha fluer and darker the aoli Is the richer and more valuable It la. are often aurprlsed to find that in the 3anrl.uls valley the coarser around Is tha higher prlcea. aafc-lrrlgaUoui ( Sell.

Kxrta of the Department of Ag ilculture pursued tor several years ex haustive inquiries Into these conditions, and finally reached the conclusion that all the dralnate problems of the valley could be easily ana sateiy soivea and at a very low yovt pera acre. The. Ban I.uls valley might be described as a projection of New Mexico into Colo rado.

WOULD ABOLISH ALL BOARDS Pat More Power la the Major aaa City Coaacll Delegatlea Is Not Valted ea Ar Particular Plaa of Actloa. Agitation for the commission form of government for Omaha Is not making much of a stir among the members of ths Douglas county delegation to th legisla ture, but a substitute plan Is said to be rapidly gaining ground and support. The members from nn'uvlaa countv are dia- centralising the government of Omaha In the hands of the city council and the mayor. This would mean the abolition or the Water Board, the Board of Fire and Police commissioners, th- Board of Park commissioners and tha Board of Educa- I tion. All of these ' bodies would go the i way of. the. defunct Board of Public j Worka. which once figured in the city charter, but Is now merely a nam In the t ordlnam-ea. ' Members of tha Park Board and t lie i Board of Education draw no salaries, but the other boards Involvs some additional 1 expenae to the city. State Senator John E. Reagan, who Is ' alated by the Douglas county democrats I for a place on the cities snd towns com-' mlttee. is inclined to believe that the agitators for this modified commission will succeed In doing something, although he will not commit himself a an advocate of It. "A number of the member of th house delegation are very much In favor of j abolishing aome of these boards." said Mr. ) Kragun. "snd although tha delegation as 1 a whole Is not committed to sny such I action, it will gain some support. Tim 4 abolition of tha Water Board haa bet n 1 agitated for some time and much haa been ssld against the necessity for the fire and Police board.
