Value OF Irrigation.

Ex-President Harrison, in one of his
messages to Congress, took up the
great problem of irrigation, and in the
course of his paper used tie following
languages:
The future of the territories of New
Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, in their
material growth and in the independ-
once and happiness of their people, is
very largely dependent upon wise and
timely legislation, either by Congress
or their own Legislatures, regulating
the distribution OF the water supply
furnished by their streams. II this
matter is much longer neglected pri-
vate corporations will have unrestrict-
cd ntrol of one o. the element, Of
life AMI the patentees of the arid lands
will be tenants at will of the water
companies.
The improvident granting of fran
chises of enormous value without rec
ompense, by the State or municipality
from which they proceed and without
proper protection of the public inter-
est, is the m st noticeable and crying
evil of present legislation. This fault
should not be committed in dealing
with a subject that will, before many
years, affect so vitality thousands of our
people.
