REDEMPTION OF ARID LANDS
Chairman MAXWELL OF National Irrigation
Association 10 Hopeful.
BELIEVES GOVERNMENT WILL ASSIST
Secretary UU of the Commercial club
Makes Public n Lengthy Letter
from Chairman MaxwclI Re-
Inting to Irrigation.

George H. Maxwell. executive chairman Of
the National Irrigation association, has
written Colonel j. Il. UT, secretary OF the
Commercial club expressing great satisfac-
tion In the progress being made by the as
sociation toward the end Of securing lib
eral governmental aid for the redemption
OF the arid lands of the west by the estab
lisbment Of an extensive system Of reser-
voirs. Mr.. Maxwell has been in Washing
ton since the adjournment Of the recent
annual meeting Of the association in Chi
cago and writes that a noticeable impetus
has been given the movement all through
the east because of this successful meet
ing.
Although do not look for large appro-
priations In this session OF congress-"
writes Mr. Maxwell, there Is really a most
remarkable transformation Of sentiment in
congress with reference to this whole sub
ject and I feel most perfect and absolute
confidence that IL we utilize the time wisely
between now and the next session we will
be able in that interval to so perfect our
organization as to get large appropriations
year hence"
Congressman Are Urged.
Mr.. Maxwell says that because OF tn,
brief time that the present session Of con-
made to push through any large appro-
priation bills. The association hopes, how
ever, to get sufficient OF an appropriation
to establish one reservoir. which will serve
as an object lesson to prove the value of
the plan. Members OF the association the
country over have written their representa-
tives in congress urging their favorable
consideration Of such appropriations as may
be introduced now and In the future for the
purpose Of establishing reservoirs, and in
nearly every case the warmest approval
has been given the matter.
The value of irrigation through the
agency OF the reservoir system to the
cattle industry OF the west forms a strong
argument presented by Mr.. Maxwell why
Omaha and western men should lend every
possible influence to the gigantic plan the
National Irrigation association has under
way. ut is not the number of acres
grezed over" says Mr.. Maxwell, that
measures the output of live stock or the
prosperity Of the industry or the profits OF
the stockmen.. 1t is the amount Of feed
that can be produced and turned into fat
cattle and sheep, and the necessity of water
to this end is becoming to be more and
more appreciated by the stockmen them
selves. illustrating the relation of this
point to Omaha: Suppose that every drop
Of water that runs to waste down the Mis-
| souri, and Platte rivers were taken out
upon the arid lands above and Used to
raise alfalfa and hay OF any kind and turned
| into stock. 1t ought not to take much
argument to convince any Omaha man what
a tremendous industry 1t would create In
the territory tributary to that CITY,"
