reception and the big bunch of recruits.
Washins ton, April 3.-Senator Carey is
much encouraged over the prospects of
government of 100000 acres to each of
the arid land states and territories to be
improved by irrigation. There has been
such a general expression of opinion on
the part of the members in favor of the
bill that there is little doubt that it will
be favorably reported soon by the COM
mittee on public lands. Mr.. Carey is led
to believe that the bill will receive the
unanimous endorsement of the commit
tee. Senators Dolph and Villas, both of
whom favor the bill, say it provides for
IN experiment in the right direction, and
is n which, if it should be undertaken,
may lead to a solution of the question of
what is to be done to reclaim the arid
lands.
