cradle food for thought. We repro,
iuce below a portion of the Indepen-
dents report of the speech:
"rhe leading resources of the State
VS. mining aud stock ising. These
industl les have been followed and the
great agricultural resources of the
State have been neglected. The water
supply is a question that Interests
everyone and the problems connected
with II must BE- solved by the people
rhe State has an area OF no 600 square
miles. OF which l05. 600 square miles -
nearly 9S per cent-still belong to the
United States; only or per cent Of
The land Is owned by the people and
corporations and pays taxes. This Is
an anomalous condition and cannot last
long. The utilization of the public
lands OF the State Is the problem TO
be solved The State has considerable
water and 1t should be so used as to
give the best results. In order to get
these results there must be united ac-
ton. The Irrigation Congress should
be attended by delegates from the State
who would make its conditions known.
"only small proportion Of the land
under private ownership Yields any re-
Turns. The large ranches must be cut
up into small holdings II The State ever

stock raising do not develop and build

to make the lands OF the State more ac-
ceptahe to the home seeker. This can
only be done by an Intelligent system
OF water storage. Nevada is advertised
less than any other State in The Union
