NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS
IN SESSION AT OGDEN, UTAH

McClurg of Colorado Springs. Fifteen
hundred delegates and spectators
Joined in the choral. to the tune OF
America" and the effect was tremend-
Gus. Mrs. McClurg was given an ova-
ton at its conclusion.
The presidents address, in opening
the congress. was in part as follows:
No act of the National Congress
since that providing for the construc-
tion Of the great Pacific railways has
meant so much for the great West as
the one providing for the reclamation
of the public lands. 1t opens up new
era of prosperity for sixteen states and
territories. 1t provides the means for
overcoming aridity. the great obstacle
that has retarded the settlement of
more than one-third OF the area of the
Republic. 1t is estimated that there re-
mains in the arid and semi-arid zones
about 600 ,000, 900 acres of vacant public
| land, and that there Is sufficient water
available under the storage system to
| irrigate about one-sixth of it. The
area already occupied and irrigated is
$500, 900 acres. III in the next thirty
years the government should provide
reservoirs sufficient to reclaim 10000,
] 900 acres. at an expenditure of $40 .000.-
900 annually, which is a very conserva-
tive estimate, as that amount will be
easily realized from the sale OF land.
the land reclaimed will provide homes
for at least 100000 to IL. 1000, 900 peo-
pie, which. with the immense property
value necessarily created, will consti-
tute a magnificent contribution to the
| wealth and glory of the Nation"
Letters to the National Irrigation
Congress from President Roosevelt and
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
were then read
On the subject of irrigation and for
estry President Roosevelt wired:
THE irrigation development OF the
| arid West cannot stand alone. Forestry
is the companion and support OF irriga-
ton. Without forestry irrigation must
fail. The greater the support Of the
forest reserve by the people Of the West
the greater assurance that the nation
al irrigation policy will not fail. for the
preservation of the forests is vital to
the success of this policy.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things of everyday use in the market
and who 10 reasonably satisfied with
the old. We would suggest that trial
OF Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because 1t
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 10c package con-
tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds
contain but IL ozs. 1t is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality

Ogden. Utah, Sept. 16.-Twenty-six
states and territories OF the Union are
represented. at the eleventh National
Irrigation Congress, which began a
four days session in the Ogden taber-
nacle yesterday. this being the largest
number ever represented since the be-
ginning of the movement for the recla-
nation of the arid West. AS showing
how the movement has taken on ma
tional, instead of sectional scope,
delegates were present even from New
York. Pennsylvania, Virginia and Yer
mont, while from the states OF the
Western plains and mountains repre-
sentatives of state and municipal gov
srnments and commercial organiza-
tions of all kinds came by the hun
,dreds.
So great are the numbers of the del
egates already on the ground for the
1rrigation congress. with more coming
on every train, that the seating capa-
city Of the tabernacle is totally made
quate. An international aspect was
lent to the proceedings by the presence
OF two representatives of foreign gov
ernments, Mexico and France. while
the government at Washington was
represented by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson.
At both the morning and afternoon
sessions the building was packed with
interested delegates and the keynote
of the present congress, as expressed
by both Governor Wells of Utah in his
speech of welcome, and President w
A. Clark. in his response. that the
time has come to do things" was
heartily cheered.
Important results. beneficial to the
cause of irrigation, are confidently an
ticipated by both delegates and Off
cials from the present congress, and
the first resolution, introduced by Sen
ator Burton of Kansas, favoring the
conserving OF the hood waters OF the
great rivers as part of the scheme of
irrigation of the West. was received
with so muck favor that there seems
to be 70 doubt that such action will
be overwhelmingly favored.
After the opening address trained
chorus of 200 voices sang the national
irrigation ode, written by Mrs. Gilbert
