ANHEUSER-BUSCH, St. Louis Sold by Grocers and Dealers Everywhere HALL. LUTE & CO. YVostributors Sacramento, Calif, IRS , BM-81 } Jan established 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 . work: testes 45% ! ie esters forte fete rte sfenge oe ate che ote: age ne eake nde neserfe ste rte st See oloyetes Nt tfe reife fe rte ct 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, Although the N. I. D. is to be a Nevada formed for } : i presumed County institution, the purpose of bringing water onto the lands and sponsored and financed hy the landholders of effort and axpense for 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 . part of Nevada County to the end ; that water be furnished Placer Coun. ty and to create a power iin ! stream nionopoly 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 Bear River. It ineludes the miners patented quartz claims and his plac“Other, promises was to deliver. water free to . . Hanford and this county, it seems that most of the water delivery , er mines, lands declared and sold ve Uncle Sam, not as agricultural land, but as mineral land. Many claim owners protested at the rural transformation, but to no avail-—they had to become a hostage of the N. I. D. whether they liked it or not because no-dusky chiof in darkest Afriea had anything on the supreme council when it came to handling the branding irons of the N.I. D.: it was thumbs down on every plea for exclusion. Although we went to war and took . this country from England because we Were taxed without representation yet a mine owner may have a square mile of patented placer ground on Harmony ridge that he never figured on raising goats on, and if he lives in Nevada City he; is forbidden to cast a vote for his! director, but the county indigents at the hospital ean, and the Manager saw to it that they did on a recent . occasion and will probably provide another buggy ride tomorrow. The supreme chief and his council have had much wampum—they hove spent it—they want nore, Ueh! They threaten us with a land tax five times as big as all we have paid before unless we vote more wainbum, Ugh! When this is gone they will want more, Ugh! Will they get it?
