ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
Movement for System of Irrigation

Movement for System of Irrigation
to Obviate Effects of Droughts.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Bureau
of American Republics is informed of a
movement in the Argentine Republic for
a system of irrigation to obviate the dis
astrous effects of droughts in the agri-
cultural districts. From an engineering
point of view the project is said to be en-
tirely practicable as the rivers and
streams Of the country afford almost in
eXhaustlble supplies of water, and in the
rainy season become swollen to such an
extent as to render it impossible to store
the necessary immense quantities in re-
serve tanks. The supplementing for these
of system of parallel canals from vari-
Gus points on the rivers is advocated, as
well as the sinking of artesian wells. The
districts afflicted with drought, it is
thought, will be devoted hereafter more
largely to the cultivation of wheat, which
does not suffer so much from its effects as
do cattle, sheep and maize. The produc-
ton of wheat in Argentina is increasing
by rapid bounds, the wheat exports jump
ing from S27 900 tons in 1890 to 1,000,000
tons in 1898. 1t is claimed the exports
the current year will reach 10000 tons
New Mexico Admission Bill.

icans expect to raise the point of no quo
rum as means of deferring the passage
of the measure. To meet this emergency
Joseph is using every effort to have the
Democrats attend Monday. and is hope
full of having the necessary quorum, ex-
elusive of Republican votes.
