mi ittee on irrigation held its first regular
meeting to-day and gsneral discussion
of the subject was had.
Senator Plumb of Kansas was last
year strongly opposed 70 any plan look
ing to irrigation by the government, and
especially in the Rocky mountain dis
tricts. The senators now believes that
these districts, which are not known as
arid lands, but which have been settled
upon and have lately suffered
from insufficient rainfall, should be frs,
considered by the government, when
making appropriations for irrigation
purposes. Senator Plumb says: "The
mountain regions which may be re-
claimed by irrigation should be reserved
for several generations"
The concession Of the Kansas senator
that some irrigation is needed is ap.
preciated by the irTgi,ion men. Tie
people OF the DakOtHs will be satisfied
with plan of irrigation on the lines
suggested by Senator Plumb, as Dakota
IS IN the same categoT with Nebraska
anu Kansas on the iriigition committee.
Ihe Dakota senators are, of course,
anxious for such planso f irrigation as
WI benefit their ,atious. end Mr..
iIumbs plan would b satisfactory to
them, rather 10 have nohing.
The admission of the new four states
has added importance 70 the proposition
for irrigation More weight would bc
carried in the senate IL Montana was or
could be represented in that body.
