IRRIGATION IN NORTHERN COLORADO.

The company rules provide that reservoir water will be carried 
when 250 rights are called for, but that the water will be cut off 
when the demand drops below 200 rights. Water is carried for $10 
per right and rights of other reservoirs must be made equal to those 
of Terry Lake or Windsor Reservoir, which range from a 16 to a 
22 day run of 1J second- feet. Single day runs are carried at a 
minimum charge of $1. On each right carried by the canal there 
is delivered to the lateral of the owner of the right 0.72 second- 
foot. To supply this 0.72 second- foot at the head of the lateral the 
company requires that there be delivered to the canal 1.25 second-feet, 
the difference taking care of losses in transit and inaccuracies and 
inequalities in distribution. Under a fairly constant demand and 
with better wire installations this margin of safety could no doubt be 
cut by 0J.5 second-foot. 
Demands for water are usually made by phone or in person 
to the secretary, who enters on a card provided for the purpose the 
name of the owner of the water, the name of the person ordering 
the water, the number of rights to be run, the lateral to which the 
water is to be delivered, and the period for which it is to be delivered. 
On account of the length of the canal, two days' notice is required 
for water to be delivered or cut off. Thus, to secure delivery Wednes- 
day morning, water must be ordered before 1 o'clock Monday after- 
noon. At 1 o'clock each day the secretary begins the preparation 
of a list of the demands for the second day following, by revising 
the sheet of the preceding day. Orders which have expired are 
scratched off and new orders are entered, after which typewritten 
copies are made for the superintendent and the various ditch riders. 
The sheet is in the form shown below.

under the lateral. On the second morning following the water is
