Can ada's Census Returns.

The official organs of the Canadian

for the disappointment in store when
the official census returns are made
known. Instead of the confident pre-

turns so far completed indicate less

the shortage as due to the steadily di-

the senate a treaty which if ratified will
enable us to begin preparations for an

In this treaty, the old Clayton Dulwer

to supply the base for the construction
and maintenance of a necessarily Amer
lean ship canal, is abrogated.
1t specifically provides that the United
States alone shall do the work of build

safeguarding the canal and shall regu-
late it's neutral use by all nations on
terms of equality without the guaranty
or interference of any outside nation
from any quarter.

congress can then proceed to give eff

providing for the building of the canal.

sources Of the islands can be developed;
SO that franchises (for limited terms Of
years. can. be granted to companies doing
business in them, and every encourage
lnent be given to the incoming of bust
ness men of every kind.
Not to do this is to do a wrong to the
Philippines. The franchises must be
granted and the business permitted only
under regulations which will guarantee
the islands against any kind of improper
exploitation.
But the vast natural wealth of the ISL

tation, mining. banking, currency, home
steals and the use and ownership of the

velopment which will surely follow will

best proofs Of the sincerity of our desire

IRRIGATlNG ARID LANDS.

The reclamation of the unsettled arid
pubic lands presents different prob
lem. Here 1t is not enough to regulate
the flow Of streams.
The object of the government Is to dis
pose of the land to settlers who will
build homes upon it. To accomplish this
object water must be brought within
their reach.
The pioneer settlers on the arid public
domain chose their homes along streams
from which they could themselves divert
the water to reclaim their holdings.
Such opportunities are practically gone.
There remain, however, vast areas of
public land which can be made availa BILE
for homesteads settlement, but only by
reservoirs and main line canals impracti-
cable for private enterprise.
Built by the Nation.
These irriga ton works should be built
by the national government. The lands
reclaimed by them should be reserved by
the government for actual settlers, AMI
the cost of construction should SO far
as possible be repaid by the land re-
claimed.
The distribution of the. water, the di-
vision of the streams among irrigators
should be left to the settlers them
selves in conformity with state laws and
without interference with those laws or
with vested rights.
The policy of the national government
should be to aid irrigation in the several
states and territories in such manner as
will enable the people in the local COM
munities to help themselves and as W II
stimulate needed reforms in the ate
laws and regulations governing irriga-
ton.
The reclama ton and settlement OF our
arid lands will enrich every portion Of
our country, just as the settlement of
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys brought
prosperity to the Atlantic states.
