WATER RIGHTS.
An Important Phase of the Irrigd
ton Question.

Prof. Elwood Meade, at the Gig nth
session of the National Irrigation con-
gress at Missoula, called attention to q
matter in connection with irrig ation
which is becoming more and more i'm
portant to farmers in the arid region
namely, water rights.
From being like air and light,
said Mr.. Meade, "the common prop
erty of all, and equal to meeting the
demands of all, water has become sc
valuable that controversies over Its
appropriation are coming to be wsged
with an ingenuity and fertility of re-
source only equalled by the impOr.
lance of the property sought to be con-
trolled, and by the Indifference of the
under irrigation means that those en-
gagged must raise crops simply to pay
lawyers fees, there is no question that
the ultimate verdict will be that a
dependence on the uncertainties OF
rainfall is to be preferred to the I'M
certainties now attendent on the diver
sion of streams, and that the vicissi-
tudes of the clouds are less to be dread
ed than constant attendance upon
courts"
Mr.. Meade made strong plea for d
general system in measuring rivers,
in supervising the issuance of titles
to water, as is done in the survey and
disposal of pueblo lands. An evil of
state court DEGREES, he said, is that the
DEGREES ignore the trrigator. It is
largely held that water is the exclu-
sive property of the company owning
the canal; Mr.. Meade, however, holds
that rights for irrigation should be in
separable from the land reclaimed.
The United States Agricultural de-
partment is now instituting irrigation
investigation and Mr.. Meade states
that this work Is destined to have an
inestimable value in presenting in re-
liable and comprehensive form the
facts regarding the time of year when
water is needed, the volume used, and
other necessary data. These investi-
cations are destined to do more, how
ever than to promote the reform of
water contracts, and to act as guides to
COURTS and irrigation authorities.
: hey will show to the east that irriga-
ton has more of benefits than of neces-
stiles to the east as we'll as to the west,
and the fact that the general govern
ment is rich in something besides pub
lie land.
GAS it ia now," said Mr. Meade.
"practically all of the 600, 900. 900 acres
of public land might as well be on the
moon for all the good it does the
homeseeker and the rivers are only a
source of expense because there is no
agency to direct their conservation and

IRRIGATION

Eight years ago the National Irriga-
ton Congress was inaugurated, and
meetings have been held annually
since that time. The project WAS de-
signed to induce the people of the west
to com bine in q strong demand for ma
tional legislation toward q comprehen-
sive system of water storage and irri-
CATION in the west.
For some years the sessions of the
congress accomplished little, owing to
the fact that the delegates could not
reach any agreement. Very little eff
fective pressure could be brought upon
congress without the most harmonious
action by the representatives OF the
west. 1t is of course notorious that
while hundreds of millions
of dollars have been ex-
pended in river and harbor
improvements in the east, the west has
secured an inconsiderable share of ma
tional appropriations. No other
problem pressing for solution in the
west at the present time is half so i'm
portant as that of the reclamation of
arid lands. With the rapid settling of
the country sthe problem has reached
such proportions that in water storage
and irrigation on q tremendous scale
lies our hope of future prosperity.
Two things have combined to pre-
vent any action by the national con-
gress in behalf of the arid regions Of
&c he 0f ia
east with their overpowering weight in
congress have forced the appropriation
of immense sums of money every year
for the improvement of water ways
east OF the Missouri river. These ex-
penditures have consumed all of the
available funds. The other reason for
discrimination against the west has
been the inability of the west to de-
wise a comprehensive policy upon
which all the people of the Interested
states could consistently and en-
phatically unite.
AS the years have passed the senti-
ment in the westhas become crystslized.
The various states and territories have
realized that their sonly hope lies in
concerted action. Concessions have
been made by different sections with
vfew,to securing absolute harmony.
AS soon as the Irrigation Congress ar
rived at a point where definite policy
could be stated, adhered to, and
worked or,year after year, its influence
began to be felt. For three success
aiva vaars now the National IRRIGATION
Congress has reaffirmed definite
policy,for the'reclamation of arid lands,
and the declaration of the congress has
been gaining in weight each year.
The position of the National Irriga-
lion Congress ia now strong one. Its
influence has begun to be apparent in
the national congress. Last winter

HARMONIOUS IRRIGATION LAWS.
We urge the adoption of a har-
monious system of irrigation laws in
all of the arid and semi-arid states and
territories, under which the right to
the use of water for irrigation shall
vest in the user, and become ap-
purtenant to the land irrigated. and
beneficial use be the measure OF the
right, and the irrigated home be pro-
tected from litigation by the es-
tablishment of q state system for tn q
euuita BILE and final adjustment of the
rights of irrigators to the distribution
of the waters of the streams.
INTERSTATE RIVERS.
We favor the establishment of a na-
tionaI commission for the equitable ad
iustment of all differences arising from
the appropriation and use OF the waters
of the interstate rivers.
FOREST PRESERVATION.
We earnestly urge upon the con-
gress of the U nited States the import
ance of carrying into full effect the
legislation enacted with q view to Sc
curing the broadcast and most effective
action by the national government for
the preservation and re-forestation of
the forest lands of our country and the
resulting conservation of our timber
and water supplies, and wise and sys-
tematic utilization of our numbering
resources.

THE French take great glee in the
situation in South Africa. They re-
member the Fashoda affair with no
very kindly feelings toward the domi-
nant African power, and they are glad
that the Beers have had the nerve to
say to England what they dared not
say. There is no likelihood that any
of the European powers will take q
hand in the war, on either eide. But
England will have enough to busy her
in fighting the Transvaal and the Or
ange Free State, with not q few citi-
zeps of Natal and Cape Colony to join
in the fray on the side of the Beers. 1t
must be remem bered too that the Beers
once before forced England to recede
from position she had assumed, and
by force of arms won their point. The
war is not a summer holiday.
