labor and study, made himself master Of
this whole Spanish Immigrant business,

more than one monstrous fraud attempted

complished under more favorable circum
stances. Our legislation as to water has
on the whole been wise, hut it can never
have the stability or success which would
come with the control of both water and
land. Our engineering works have clio
tied the praises of experts from
other irrigating countries for both
their economy of construction and
adaptation to their use. At present the
practical knowledge of the subject is al
most wholly confined to those engaged in
the work. The information gained
through the labors and Investigations of
the geological survey can be utilized by
local legislatures, while by placing the
responsibility of the work on our people
a great impulse will be given to the diff
fusion of intelligence on the subject and
to local pride in the character of our irri-

this problem in the hands of the people

being in both caseses that the delay and

from such action would be disastrous.
