Preservation of the Water supply an I'm
portant Factor i'm the Problem
The afternoon session of the congress
was opened by Senator Warren, upon
what congress is doing in aid of irriga-
ti6n. he said that discussion of what
congress had done in aid of irrigation
offered a much wider field than that
confined to what had been done. How
ever. there was hopeful side shown by
the spirit and temper of the last con-
gress. The upper house had given much
time to debate in favor of national con-
struction of reservoirs and the larger
canals The progress made in preserv-
ing the forests was step ahead and
the depSEtment OF agriculture with a
western man at the head had made a
good beginning.
Hon. Z. +. Best, of the Interior de-
partment, then read a paper on The
National Forest Reserves and the Rela-
tionship OF Reservation and Irrigation. -
Judge Best said the whole heart of the
secretary of the interiors was in this
problem of preserving the forests. He
said the preservation of the water sup
ply was the most important factor in
the problem. Judge Best spoke of the
intimate relations of the forest to the
flowing stream. the latter always being
at the maximum when the former was
undis:urbed.
President Carey. during his remarks,
paid a very high compliment to the
work of Secretary Bliss as the head of
the interior department. State Engineer
Mead, of Wyoming. in an able address.
spoke on THE Obstacles to Settlement
in the Arid Region and the Best Means
of Overcoming Them and Judge En-
cry. OF Kansas. led hsiA'scussion of the
topic, The Storage OF Water" and OBJ
stacles to Settlement in the Arid

vision No. 1 in Wyoming.
At 3 o'clock the congress selected
Montana as the state in which to hold
the next annual meeting. The city will
be selected by the executive committee
