for from five to ten million dollars a year. This vast sum is now wasted l and worse than wasted, because the | lack of any, control or administration | of the property is resulting in the gradual destruction of the native | grasses on the ranges, and in conflicts between stock men, which are serious Iy detrimental to the industry. It is proposed to lease these lands and use the revenues for irrigation develop nens.
 Second. It is proposed that the west shall have a fair share, say one seventh of each river and harbor bill, as recommended in the Chittendeu re- port, to build storage reservoirs to store the waters that now go to waste in winter floods. The government would be reimbursed for these appropria- tions, just as for other river or harbor Improvements, in the general develop ment and prosperity of the country. But, beyond this, reasona ble increase in the price of the 100, 0,000,0 acres of irrigable public land when reclaimed I by irrigation would more than cover the cost of all the reservoirs the gov ernment would build.
 Third. It is proposed that where the government owns the land, which
 is now worthless only because arid, l that the government shall build the Iirrigation works to reclaim it and then sell the land with the water system to
 actual settlers, in small tracts, for | enough to cover the cost of reclama-
 tion in addition. to the government
 price of the land, thus opening for
 settlement vast regions which must re-
 main desert until this policy is
 adopted. The government would be
 reimbursed for it's entire disburse-
 ment from the sale of the land, be-
 sides realizing many millions in addi- ton from what is now a worthless :, asset.
 The carrying out of this policy by
 the national government would be
 equivalent to the creation and annex ation to our national domain of so l much new territory. If the original ] acquisition of the territory under the Louisiana purchase was wise policy, 5 it must be equally wise to make it 7 habitable. It can never be done by private ent erprise. The irrigation f works necessary for it's reclamation a must be built on too large scale. e Hoping for an early and favorabl

city east, and especially so from Chicago west. That the movement is with force and is bound in all the senses of right to win, the following letter sent to the eastern merchants and their appended reply is sufficient to con vince the most skepticaf:
 DEAR SIR Ut is conceded that the western half of the United States would support greater population than the whole United States contains to-day, if the water which now goes tn waste in winter floods were saved and utilized for irrigation. The new home market which would thus be created must warrant the attention of every merchant and manufacturers. to the solution of the great problem of the reclamation and settlement of the arid region of the west.
 The carrying out of the policy ad- vocated by the National Irrigation Congress, as set forth in its resolutions as embodied in the enclosed report of its last session at Missoula, would ac- complish, this great result; and the inauguration of this policy would im- mediately increase population in the west with marvellous rapidity. The enormous enlargement of the demand from the west for the things we buy of the eastern merchant and manufact- urer, which would result from this great increase in western population, cannot fail to interest you in the sub ject.
 We write to ask you to give thi: matter, which is of such great impor tance to your interests as well as-tt ours, the most careful consideration and extend the support of your cooper ation and membership to the Nationa Irrigation Association, and also ti write to the Senators from your stat and the Congressman from your dis trict and urge them to exert their in tlnence in favor of the inauguration o the policy set forth in the resolution of the National Irrigation Congress. Whatever there. may be of opposi
 tion to this policy arises from misap
 prehension. Some think it is propose to involve the federal government i
 enormous expenditures without re : turns. This is totally erroneou view. On the contrary, the carryin
 out of the policy. advocated would T, turn to the government from sales (
 it's now arid lands many millions excess of all it's expenditures IT
