IRRIGATION ARGUMENT.

~ argument in favor Of irrigation
by government aid has been advanced,
ghich ought to be convincing In the
East among those who look upon the
matter rs Of nothing more than Sec
tional Importance. The chairman Of the
transportation committee Of the Chi
cago board Of trade MIR. w. H. Chad
wick. thinks that the arid region Of
the West Is the real cause Of the ex-
cesslye heat the East sometimes suf-
fers from, and the drought that some
times blasts the crops of that section.
He declares that the intense dry heat
Of the arid regions Is carried east
ward through atmospheric influences
and menaces the agricultural regions
Of the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio
valleys with the result that farmers,
merchants and transportation inter-
ests lose millions of dollars yearly
through failure Of the crops, Scarcely
any part OF the Union" he says, has
becn unaffected by the conditions pro-
duced by the scorching blight which.
originating only In the arid region,
blasts the crops over an important part
Of the country
This IS probably true. National irri-
cation works have never been urged on
account IF their exclusive benefits to
one part Of the country but because II
Is evident to all that they would be Of
immense Importance to all sections and
states alike. But If It can be shown
that the neat OF the parched deserts is
,irectly menace to eastern farmers,
they should need no further argument
to induce them to join in the demand
for the passage Of measure that when
carried out, would bring them thous-
ands of dollars from their own fields !

PORTO RICO TRANSFORMED


What American influence can accom-
pllsh, when permitted to take its own
course, Is shown In Porto Rico. There the
Americans have already built as many
miles of good roads as the spanards
did In four centuries The Spaniards,
according TO the report Of Mr., w H.
Elliott, commissioner OF the interior for
the island, had one, and only one good
road. Now they are common, and the
building Is stlll going on. Between the
principal cities good roads are being
built and villages are connected with
the main roads. and as a consequence
wages Of common laborers have gone
up from IS cents gold TO so cents. and
planters are paying as much as a dol
lar, one American sugar.growlng firm
employs 1900 men at the larger sum.
The peasant class can hardly believe
It's good fortune. Some OF them often
knock on work on pay day and loaf and
smoke until the cupboard Is bare.
The cost Of transportation has fallen
from so cents per 100 pounds to 10, in
one place, and from 10 cents to In an
other Capital Is invested in sugar and
tobacco lands, and the fruit business
promises good results. railroad
around the island was formerly pro-
jected but never built Now the con-

between San Juan and the suburb OF
San Turce. A good telegraph system,
covering the chief towns OF the island,
is already in operation.
In other directions the American in
fluence has been as benehcent The
cities and towns have been cleaned IN
