THE ARID REGIONS.
The subject of the conversion and equal
distribution OF the water supply of the arid
regions has had much attention from Con.
grc>S, hut has not yet been put upon IA per-
manunt or satisfactory basis. The urgency
ut the subject does not grow out of any
large present demand for the use of these
Lands Tor agriculture, but out of the danger
that the water supply and its sites for
tue necessary catch basins may fall
INTO the hands of individuals or private
corporations and lie used to render subsrrv-
tent the large areas dependent upon such
supply.
