THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

Mr.. G. Il. wantland. chairman OF the
executive committee Of the National r.
rjgation association, In the current
number OF The Garden OF the Gods
Magazine has paper on THE Re
claiming OF Arid Lands" In this he
calls attention to the fact that the
tenth national irrigation congress, to
convene at Colorado Springs on the 9Th
OF October, will celebrate what may be
called a great victory. The first irriga-
tion congress was held in Salt Lake
City about twelve years ago. Compar-
atively few realized at that time the
importance of the object for which that
congress gathered. Today all over the
country, the people nre commencing TO
comprehend the possibilities Of the So
called arid regions, and the necessity
OF retaining them, and adding their
immense wealth TO the general fund of
the country.
But II would be q mistake to con-
slider the work of the Irrigation asso-
citation finished. with the legislation
so far secured from Congress. 1t must
now be practically demonstrated that
the building Of reservoirs and the con-
struction OF canals and bitches IL JUS
titled. To this end the first projects
must be carefully planned. with view
to the good Of the general cause, rather
than that OF individuals. or sections.
There should be no selfish quarrel as to
where the first appropriation Is TO be
spent. II Is clear 1t can't be made
to cover the entire area. Let wisdom
and moderation prevail, and let the
Irrigation association exert Its influence
for harmony, without which but poor
results will be obtained from the act
as now passed by Congress.
The National Forestry association
win meet with the irrigators at Colo
RADIO Springs, Forestry is another sub.
ject that needs general attention. Our
forests are destroyed in a manner that
will, finally, bring about retaliation. il
is time 10 commence sane methods IN
the dealings with the trees Of the coun-
try, and It ls hoped that the Forestry
association win succeed in creating a
general demand for the preservation Of
trees, as the Irrigation association has
succeeded in bringing the irrigation
question 10 the nations notice.
