 Gheexe ( r. S. Depf. Agr., Office of Kiperiment Stations Bid. I40, pp. S3, pi. l,fiy. 1). — 

 This bulletin gives the results of investigations on the different kinds of water rights 

 recognized in this region and the manner in which they affect the well-being of 

 irrigators. It also describes physical conditions which affect the value of water 

 rights. "The subject is presented in such a way as to be of aid to intending settlers 

 in showing them some features of irrigation which should be looked into, and where 

 needed information can be found. While these rights are considered j)rimarily from 

 the standpoint of the farmer, the interests of inve.stors in irrigation works and of the 

 public in the best use of the water supply are also kept in mind."
