MR. WISKER'S : GOATS .
Editor of The Nugget:—
The bringing of Placer and Yuba
Counties into the fold brought the
total irrigable acreage of the district
up to about 275,000 acres and it is
fact that, in
well known districts it requires approximately 5 acres feet ~ at the
source of supply for the irrigation of
each acre over a season. of five
months that is, counting storage
losses, Seepage and evaporation in
transit, where two acre feet are neCessary per season for proper growth.
The average duty where losses in ¢canal are included, for 5 eanals. in
. Utah, and Idaho, is 5.9 acre feet.
One of Mr. Wisker’s P. BE. D.
275,000 acres after 50 years. This
would make it necessary for the watershed to supply 1,350,000 acre feet
and just to show what a wild promand .

is to draw dividends .
. ise this is it is only. necessary to state
_ that as the system now stands, granting for arguments. sake that it is
; capable of furnishing 108,000 acre
feet in.nine . months, it is obvious
that it would be impossible to fur, nish water for more than one tewntieth of the acreage promised, not
mentioning the Panama eanal neces-:
sary to carry the-amount of* water.
It has been reported that the P. E.
D. Co., have reconsidered this hilarious promise, especially since the
.
squelching’ at Washington of objectionable clauses in the contract, but
just what the physical condition of
our favored employee is at the pre‘gent day we are unable to learn. A
number of landowners assure us
' that they would like to know wheth(er the. P. ED. is dead, convales; cent or is simply playing possum;
j another foolish question asked was
“How much expense has the district
shouldered and _ paid for, especially
on the engineering ‘end; in getting
data for Mr. Wisker’s Company? It
must have taken a lot of field work
‘to gct the data for these 22 power
houses and a lot of office work on
those pretty pink and green P. E._D.
maps, not forgetting the heavy brain
work figuring up. the kilowatts, commissions and tax-free profits of this
embryo trust. One landowner had the
temerity to ask who paid for the new
$30,000 office building, forgetting
that that was one of the promises of
the P. E. D. to provide an office
building for the district,

is being made to the end that water
be taken into Placer County. About
the only strictly Nevada County development is the eanal, now ahout
completed from Deer creek to Wolf
creek.
To the thinking man who has any
regard or any respect for the future
cf Movada County, this is something
}that is fundamentally wrong. That
any corporation or any individual
should divert water from the main
rivers of this county as it is now being diverted by the N. I. D. and to
take it. way.over into an adjoining
{ county, while that county has a
strernm like the North Fork of the
American, whieh could readily he
imade to serve the same territory is
entirely wrong in principle.
The N. I. D. has run a four mile
tunnel for the purpose of taking the
waters of the Middle Yuba near Militen and they have made an appleation for another 50,000 acre fect
. which would ‘virtually rob the waters
oT of that of all its summer
flow. At this moment they are planning to decapitate the North Yuba
. by the same process. How about the
!future of the San . Juan Ridge and
the the people of the generations to
come who may desire to live along
. the tributaries of these streams? Is
lit just to rob them of their natural
j heritage and make a desert of this

; that water be furnished Placer Coun. ty and to create a power

comparison with which Mr. Wiskers MUCh chastised inuliimillionaires
; would be pretty small potatoes?
. We do not think so and we hope
j that this application of the P. . p.
‘for ad: litional diversion will be denied and that the San Juan Water
; Users Ag: sociation will succeed’ in ap=
' proj miating this water for themselves
; and See that it is not diverted froin
,its natural watershed,
The North Fork of the American
rriver, im Placer County, was running
from 8000 to 10,000 inches of pure,
clear water below Colfax during the
driest part of the season last year.
Why bring water from Nevada County 40 miles with all its attendant
losses? :
N. ‘I. BD. takes in a*lot of territory, with its east boundary 3
miles east of Nevada City it takes in
practically all the territory west of
the line from the South Yuba to
