gress, but has not as yet beer put upon =

eucy Of the subject does not grow out OF any
large present demand for the use OF these
lands for agriculture, but out OF the danger
that the water supply and the sites FOR tue

the Government tor the equal use at lair

eventually take up these lands. The United
states should not, in my opinion, undertake
the construt'i ion Of dams or canals,
but should limit its woik u
