National Control Of Water.

The entire question OF western irriga
ton leads up to one inevitable con-
c~lusion. This is that irrigation, over
and above-all other industries, is a mat
ter demanding public supervision and
control. Every drop of water entering
the head gate, and every drop escaping
at the end of the canal, is a matter Of
public concern. The public must deter
mine, through constitutions and statutes,
the nature Of water ownership. The
publit must establish means for the
measurement of streams and for ascer-
tanning how much water may be taken
for each acre of land under the principle
of beneficial use. The public must see
that justice is done in the distribution Of
water among those who have properly
established their rightful claim to it
We have thoroughly tried the method O
leaving all this to private initiative ant
management, and along with magnificent
material progress, we have reaped +;
large crop of ~deplorable financial results
While much must be left TO the actor
OF states and communities, there is still
a wide field for national efo t.

a New Empire.

To reclaim all the land possible in the
West, will involve the spreading Of water
over a surface as large as New England
and New York combined. Standing
now at he birth Of things and looking
down the vista OF the future, We can see
in the course of western rivers the dim
outlire OF a mighty civilization, blest
with peace and crowned with & remark
able degree Of prosperity in case wise Laws
and iust irrigation policies shall pcevail
in the wears OF the immediate future
while institutions are forming.

Trrfgatfon's Future.


The rise and future of Irrigation in
the United Safes, is the title of an inter
esting article from the pen of Prof. Ell
wood Meade in the Agricultural year
beck, just issued.
The earliest pathway Of civilization Oh
the American continent, says Professor
Mead, led along the banks of the steams.
In various pasts Of the Southwest,
notably in the Salt River Valley Of
Arizona, IN northern New Mexico, and
along the southern borders OF Colorado
and Utah are well-deiined remains of
irrigation works which have outliv ed by
many centuries the civilization to which
they belonged. Il at least n instance
the bank of an ancient canal has been
utilized as a part of modern works.
Riding up the valley OF the Rio Grande,
in the first half Of the sixteenth century,
Spanish explorers found in the midst OF
arid surroundings beds of beautiful
roses, mot unlike those in the gardens of
Castillo as they noted in their diaries.
They also found Pueblo Indians irrigat-
ing the thirsty soil, as their fo%refathers
had done for centuries before them and
as their defendants are still doing today.
In this valley and along the trlb utary
streams, and at other places in the desert
wastes of the Southwest, Spanish set
Elements sprung up and maintained
themselves by means of these life giving
waters. The bitches at Las Cruces,
N. NJ, have an unbroken record of three
hundred years of service, the history of
which is written in the banks of the
canals and in the fields irrigated. This
is due to the sediment with which the
waters OF the Rio Grande are Laden.
Year after year this has slowly added
layer on layer to the sides and bottoms
of these bitches, until from being chan
nels cut below the surface of the soil
they al Q now raised ? or 3 feet above.
Ii is here that one can yet find agricul-
ture almost as primitive as that of the
days OF Pharoh, where grain is reaped
with the sickle and tnrashed by the
trampiing OF goats.

The National Government alone can
make the best and broadcast study Of the
various economic questions related 10
the development OF agriculture oil arid
lands. This includes not only the
measurement OF streams and survey Of
reservoir sites, but also a consideration
of practical methods OF applying water
to the soil and Of social and industrial
institutions adapted to the environment
Of the arid region. The nation alone can
deal with the conflicting rights in Inter
state and International streams and with
the construction OF great reservoirs at
their head waters, with a view to bene-
filing the several states lying along their
course. The National Governmet is
already active along all these lines, and
the field for the expansion OF it's effort s
is wide and inviting.

Federal Irrigation Coming

&A2gAG a RAAI = 1CAOA4 CSAAN1AAS
Looking over Che field at the close of
the century it is seen that the United
States stands practically alone among
irrigation countries in having lett all
the work Of reclamation to the unaided
efforts Of private capital, and in the
p~rodigality of the surrender Of public
control of streams. In one respect the
policy pursued has been successful. II
has resulted ia an enormous investment
mot less than 500, 100000 and some esti-
mates make it twice that sum- and the
creation Of taxable and productive
wealth Of many times the amount in
vested. We .have now about reached
the limit OF this sort OF growth. There
will be few large private investments in
canals hereafter until we have better
and more liberal irrigation la vs.. En-
trance en- the coming century is con
fronted by larger problems; the storage
of flood waters, the interstate division OF
streams. and the inauguration of ar
adequate system of public control, which
will insure to the humblest handler OF d
shovel his share Of the SHOWS falling or
mountains above his farm, 10 matter
how far removed he may be.

being the perfect weather in the
northwest and the comparative weak
ness of the markets in that section.
Scalpers were moderate sellers, but Tor
some time the market held fairly
steady about 75c on a gradually de-
creasing amount OF trade. Transae-
tons finally grew SO insignificant that
the pit was almost deserted. Chiefly
from this neglect, the September price
slowly slipped off to 745sc. Below 75c
there appeared to be a fair demand
and the price was not allowed to re-
main at that point long. During the
last hour, the market again assumed
some large degree of steadiness, help
ed somewhat by reports OF good export
engagements at the seaboard. Trading
throughout the session was almost en-
tirely OF local nature. September
closed at 74H@75c. Northwest re-
celpts were 3O4 cars, compared with
226 last week and 296 a year ago. Chs
cago receipts were 351 cars, 46 of con-
tract grade. Total primary receipts
were $4,000 bushels against $4,000
bushels year ago. The seaboard re-
ported SO loads taken for export The
worlds visible increased 100000 bush
els. Corn was fairly steady within
narrow limits. There was a Slight OPP
en1ng decline, due to sympathy with
wheat, but later the market became
steady and prices recovered. Country
offerings were light but the cash de-
mand was also slow. Receipts were
612 cars. September ranged from 381a
to &c and closed unchanged at 3S5sc.
Oats were exceedingly weak and
closing figures showed a material de-
cline. Country offerings were much
freer, the weather was ideal for the
movement and liquidation of futures
were persistent, elevator people being
prominent sellers. A heavy cash bus
mess was done on the break, probably
100000 bushels Receipts were Ats
cars. September ranged from 21A to
21Ac and closed 3s@1ac lower at 213s
0Ac.
Provisions showed more strength
than anything else on the floor. Stocks
of all kinds were reported very light
and good cash demand was evident.
Leading packing interests were good
buyers and prices were kept on the up
grade until afternoon when some re-
action due to realizing took place The
close, however, was strong at substan-
tial advances all around. September
pork closed 271ac higher at $12 0212;
September lard 71a@10c higher at
Sc 82h@85c, and September ribs 1212c
higher at 81 121ac.

WOOL.

BOSTON, July 31.-Some improve
ment is noted in the wool market
here. Manufacturers are not exactly
ready to buy freely, but they are bid
ding on many lines of wool, and in
some instances fair purchases are
made. The mills. some of which are
closed, have allowed their stocks of
wool to be greatly reduced in order
to buy more advantageously and if
they secure much new business it is
predicted they will be forced to buy
freely. arrivals of wool from the west
which have been light for some time
are now more frequent.

CHICAGO, July 31.--A sharp decline
in oats and an equally sharp advance
in provisions were the features of an
exceptionally dull season on Change
to-day. Wheat closed at a decline of

provisions in fiuenced by light stocks
