IRRIGATION IN CONGRESS.
It Receives More Recognition than is Gen

Special Correspondence.l

lOfSNAN@AI
 While for great many years there has been much talk of urging upon Congress the necessity and importance of retaining the Arid West through 8 series of internal improvement by the Government, there has been but little serious or concerted effort ma de in this direction. Great undertakings are not accomplished in a single year of agita- tion and some of the most beneficial measures. ever enacted were before Congress for long period of years. But the failure of the Government thus far to appropriate money for reser- voir construction has led some men to assert that it is useless to make any further effort to induce Congress to render this desired assistance. This is certainly a very superficial view of the situation. The records of Con- gress show that, until the last two | years, almost nothing has been at l tempted in the way of introduction ot bills, urging the matter before com mittees or any other direct work done to accomplish the construction ot storage reservoirs. Such claims, there. fore, made by some few men that be- cause Congress has not, during the past twenty years, favorably con sidered the proposition, and has not appropriated anything for the building of storage reservoirs, that therefore i will not be just as well for the Wes to give up such useless campaign and combine on some other policy must be considered as weak ant nerveless view.
