GREAT INTEREST
IN IRRIGATION.
photographer Newell Says it tx
lists East and West,
WHAT CANADA HAS DONE.
Plan for Extending Information Re.
gardIng Irrigsble Arid Lands
In the West.

Washington. March l4-"No investi-
CATION by the census office has aroused
a more active and sympathetic interest
than that relating TO land reclamation
by irrigation" says photographer
Newell, in charge Of irrigation in both
the census Office and the geological sur
vey. "The East is quite as much alive
to the Importance OF the subject as the
West It's manufacturers and jobbers
see in the growing West market Of
great absorbing capacity.
THE Canadians have set an example
10 the United States In the business-like
way in which they have gone about the
problem Of the public domain. They al
so have vast tracts OF arid land lying
east OF the Rocky Mountains and north
Of Montana. In spite Of relatively
low temperature they have demon
strated the success Of irrigation In a
broad and practical manner Instead Of
allowing development 20 proceed In a
haphazard way. they drew lesson
from failures and mistakes on this side
Of the boundary. and first made an ac-
curate survey to show the location and
character Of the irrlgable lands. the
sources Of supply from which these
lands can be watered. and the possbil-
ity Of regulating the flow OF streams
by reservoirs.
"The people Of the adjacent State Of
Montana, seeing the good effects Of
such policy. are eager 10 have similar
surveys made Of the public lands Of
that State. In order 20 show al a glance
on appropriate maps what land may be
irrigated and water sources for their
reclamation. and (by reportsl the cost
OF benefits 10 be derived from adequate
systems OF storage reservoirs and in
high line canals.
"As a preliminary step the census Of
Zee is ascertalning what canals are
now in operation, the extent and value
Of the existing works. and the area and
production OF irrigated lands.
Director Merriam desires that all ir-
rigation schedules be filled out and re-
turned as promptly as possible and that
irrigators who have not received such
schedules win At once write for them"

Claim that Salaries of Other Members
Have Been Advanced Referred
TO Committee.

The officers OF the FIRE department.
including Chief Devlne and Secretary
Earl. petuoned the Council last eyen-
ing TO restore their salaries TO the for

In support OF their petition reasons
were advanced, the first OF which states
that the present schedule Of wages was
not adopted as the result Of any in
yestigation or Recommendation Of the
FIRE committee, or TIE head OF the de-
partment.
Under the present system, petitioners
say, It Is notorious and unparalleled
fact that the apprentice receives the
same pay as the Lieutenant. who has
risen from the ranks
The wages Of all the men in the SER
vice. petitioners further say, have been
raised to the scale In effect six years
ago. but no advance has been given the
officers.
The extension Of the service and
growth OF the city, they contend, in
volve greater responsibility and in
creased duties. In conclusion, petition
ers say:
I'VE may add that in almost all other
classes Of employment wages have been
advanced. In Keeping al least with the
increased cost Of living, consequently
we feel that In common with other citi-
gems we are entitled to share the pros
perity OF the day"
The petition was referred 10 the com.
