WESTERN KANSAS IRRIGA-
TI0N.
me Views Of Practical GFrIgstOr on tn
4i Outlook.

In q recent interview Senator Milton
alroFn OF Garden City made the fol-
lowing statements on the irrigation
prOblem in western Kansas. The Sen.
atOE, although d Republican, was
Chairman of the State Senate sub
Committee ON Irrigation, and is the
solicitor for the receiver Of two Of the
largest irrigation systems in the Ar
kansas valley and has been the attor-
aey for several years for almost all of
the irrigation companies in southwest
Kansas, and o practical irrigstor by
farming.
"What do you think will be the ef'
feet Of this Wright declsiong"
"BeneHClal to southwest Kansas as to
the valley people and Of immediate
benefit II they will take advantage OF
Il. And think ultimately It will be
Che means of benefit TO o large portion
Of the highlands"
"In what way to the valley peOple~
"It encourages the Eastern capital
ist who has his thousands invested In
these canals to protect his property;
tho people can form districts, buy out
these companies interests, and make
thls valley blossom like q flower gar
den."
'sHow can they do that when there
ID no water In the riverH"
"YOur proposition Is on q mistaken
hasiD, for each and every winter enough
water goes by us to thoroughly soak all
our lands, then at the food periods in
summer IL goes by. My observation
leads me to the conclusion that the
fault in this Is not altogether at any
one particular door. II the farmers
win take the water and use 1t when
they can get 1t q great part of the
problem will be solved 80 far as the
valley IL concerned. And I under
stand the number Of winter irrigatorS
ls on Che increase; and l mean the
farmers, not those theoretical fellows
that lay around town sand blow off
thelr mouths on irrigation theories
more than they do their breath while
at farm labor"
SHOW will the question Of controll-
ing these food periods be solvedp"
ssI don't know just how, but it can
be- done by a reservoir system and
atofsngit. Every Western Senator and
Congressman ought to stand out and
NOS vote FOR any appropriation fcr
rivers and harbors until Congress will
SPEND some of those millions on
storage system at the heads of the
streams which In the aggregate make
np the Mississippi river. The trouble
With Congress is, that 1t has been work
tMg ss the wrong end of the stream
fcr each and every year the bottom Of
SAg river bed Of the Mississippi gets
\ higher by means Of the soil washing
down from these Western States. This
Monld be in a large measure remedied
bg stopping the food action through
tsnaEvolr or storage system; then the
Maaer could be taken out Of these res
n aFSolEs and rum out over the arid Of
BaKns arid States and would gradually
ma tts way back into the big stream

all the water heading thereinS"
"SuppOse it did try to. In the RrDt
place, whenever the United States Su-
preme court gets chance atthat queS-
tion / think COIorado's claim will get
sat down on; but even II Colorado has
that right, It can't use 1t all, nor keep
It all; 1t must come this way. and sp-
propriate Congressional legislation
will fix that"
"How about our uplands-how are
they to be beneitedf"
"Psrtly by the same means as the
valley, but mainly by forming districts
and damming the ravines and low
places and catching and housing the
storm waters and using IL when crop
season comes around. Then canals
can be taken out when authorized by
Congressional legislation and run from
the Rockies out across these highlands.
The experiments now being conducted
by the United States Surveying Corps
In this vicinity show that there is an
immense water bed to the northwest
of us, and this can be utilized"
"How about our State Board Of Ir'
rigstionP Some people In the press
ara demanding its abolition. What
do you say aboutitH"
III do not believe In passing judg.
ment until we hear all the evidence.
/ read what you refer to, and the state
ments Of Mr.. Smith show that the
board has accomplished something,
and Mr.. Cowgill's statements are very
much the same as Mr.. Smiths. The
full report Of this board under the law
is due ct the coming session Of the
Legislature, and / suggest 1t be given
o careful consideration. The law spec
ified what the board was to do, and IL
there is any fault to be found 1t should
be laid where it belongs. l did not
like the law; it was a compromise
measure and was the best we could get
at the time. The trouble was. there were
too many conceited fellows Who live
In their offices and have had no prac-
ticsl experience In irrigation-fellOwH
that were all theory and no practice In
this question; but the workings Of the
last two years is knocking out the the
ories Of these gentlemen, and that
much good 10 accomplished, If nothing
else. The board ought to be contln-
ued, but the law amended in several
respects. Artesian well experiments
would be good thing, In my personal
Judgment, but the board should be
given powers and duties to perform II
does not now possess. Under this
Wright decision I look for an impetus
In irrigation matters, and we will need
q board to investigate and fix water
rates, regulations, etc. It should be
non. partisan and be required TO sit al
certain places In the lrrigable area and
there attend to the matters coming
before it, instead Of at place remote
from It's business,
"This irrigation question is a very
healthy infant now, and appears C

Ella, attorney for the National Business
League, by direction Of Messrs. Ferdinand
w. Peck. Moses y. Handy, c. A. Gilbert
and Eldridge G.. Keith, members of the
executive committee of the league, today
presented the following statement TO Chair
man Dlngley of the ways and means com
mittee:
Gentlemen. The National Business
League is composed of business men OF al
ferent parties and relations ana varying
shades OF political opinions throughout the
United States, auxiliary councils having
been and are being rapidly formed IN ms
various States of the Union. Inc menlpers
of this league believe that there should be
thorough investigation into all matters CO n
corning which legislation Affecting business
Interests is proposed and besides demands
TINT such legislation shall be prompt. shall
be along business rather than political lines,
and snail foster general rather imam speclal
interests.
we regret that our organization vas not
completed In season for our representatives
IN he present at the public hearings even
by your committee. In view OF the wen
known fact that large proportion ~ the
people who take the trouble 10 90 TO wash
ington TO attend such hearings are scoring
to promote their own private interests WIN
out regard to the effect on general busi-
ness interests. and the fact that pnbilc STA
tistics as TO tariff effects on domestic man
ufactrlres are at present ineagor and are
not easily procured from the intereeteh par
ties we might, perhaps, nave rendered as
sistancc to your committee lhroush the
combined efforts Of our membership foui
committee. however is we'll aware Of and
has undoubtedly made allowances for the
ex parte character Of such testimony
Members OF your committee having very
courteously expressed their Willingness 10
receive and consider any statements we
may present TO the committee, we now take
occasion to express to you The desire OF
this league, which we believe Is also the
desire\of a large majority OF the business
men o. the country, that the present re-
vision Of the tariff upon which you are en-
gaged shall be n conservative one. Nhli'
we understand that It is your intention b!
| pi Division to Obtain more revenue ana 10
protect American labor. We ask that Its
henaHts and it's burdens be spread as near
| ly equally as possible and so as to foste
general rather than special interests. W.
believe that the country has now bad SUI
| Ccient Experience with tariffs 10 iurnish
basis uLon which reylsions may be made
more scientifically than heretofore and tina
| The object desired whether revenue or pro
| lection, may he secured anu at the SAME
time general business prosperity forwarded
| We understand that your committee IS en-
| d,oyorine to work along these lines and VI
! tender YOU any assistance In that direction

Washington February 2S.-The house

Mr. Barrett of Massachusetts, made an
effort IN secure an authorization for dry
dock al Boston, to cost 81 OOo,ooo' out aiter
n somewhat hot debate, the amendment was
ruled out of order. He then tried 10 secure
the appointment Of a commission 10 pass
on the relative merits of Boston and Ports
mouth as a location for dry dock anS
was equally unsuccessful .
The feature Of the day was an exceedingly
interesting political debate which occurred
late In the afternoon on the subject OF ciNli
service reform. II occurred during the con-
sideration OF a bill to permit the governors
of the Territories to appoint certain ON
cers of the Territories In case OF vacancies
without the consent OF legislative counchs'
which is now required by law.
