MAJOR POWELL ON WATER.
At Albuquerque last Monday, Major
Powell, chief of tho United States geo-
logical survey, addressed the Commer-
cial club. He said that the time must
soon come when there will not be avail-
able water enough in the .valley to irri-
grte the land for a hundred miles be-
low Albuquerque, unless it can be had
by artesian wells. "This.” lie said,
“is a very serious question, and it is
even now confronting the people of
those districts. I cannot see,” said
Major PowelL, “how it will ever be pos-
sible to obtain enough water at El
Paso or for 150 miles this side of there,
for agricultural purposes, or even to
supply the needs of a city of moderate
size. When this portion of the Rio
Grande valley becomes settled up and
developed as it must be iu a few years,
that portion will be destroyed.”
j. The Fret Worth Gazette says: "It
has biwu noted that five days of heavy
precipitation follr wed, the late artillery
competition in Scotland, and that on
the recent visit of tho French fleet to
Portsmouth the royal and naval salutes
were followed by a downpour of unu-
sual proportions. This gives addi-
tional force to the theory of bringing
rain at will by shocking the atmos-
phere, as ProfessorDyrouforth is doing
in different parts of the state.”
