SOME COMMENTS ON MR.. HILL
AND IRRIGATION.

St. Paul Pioneer Press: One of the
most surprising things in the history
of western progress has been the
rapid growth of the movement to en-
gage the power and u of the
national government in a grand
scheme of irrigation covering all the
arid lands of the west within the
reach of water supply. Within the
as: five years from being a mere
speculative dream. the vast scheme
has become a substantial reality. en-
bodied in a national statute proyid-
ing the means and machinery where
by it can be gradually carried out
This legislation was wrested from
congress as the result of the labors
of an active and energetic propagan-
da backed by an organized body Of
public sentiment representing the coll
stituencies of all the trans Mississippi
and Pacific states, with the patriotic
concurrence of the rest of the cOun-
try. How all this came about in so
short a time has been known to but
very few until it was explained by
Mr.. j. ]. Hill in his address to the
North Dakota irrigation congress at
Bismarck On Tuesday. 1t was the
result of a campaign Of education
through not only the trans Mississippi
pi and Pacific states but the country
at large, inaugurated and maintained
by five railroad companies which each
contributed five thousand dollars an
nually for five years. This sum of
$4,000 a year was expended in the
dissemination Of information regard
ing the feasibility of the scheme and
the vast u which could be
added to the productive soils of the
country by irrigation; in arousing the
active interest and enthusiasm of the
interested states therein, and in Civ
ing them organized expression
through meetings and congresses,
through lectures and addresses and
periodical literature. When public
sentiment throughout these states
had been fully aroused and enlight.
ened. and the united influence Of Their
constituencies was brought to bear on

representatives, the necessary legisla.

Minneapolis Times: In their con-
sideration of James j. Hills many
sided character fair-minded observers
will do well to study n side at a
time. In such examination they will
be forced to cOnfess-whether they
like his methods or not-that he has
been a power in the development of
the west and is likely to continue to
be as long as he remains in active
business life. To his influence as a
railway magnate we are indebted for
much of our development in agricul-
tural methods and for a large share of
er directions that have made mer-
chandise of the wonderful resources
of this section. For his share in this
he is accorded full credit by all public
spirited citizens, and though his
breadth of view and great projection
OF foresight have been exercised pri-
marily for the enrichment of the pro-
perty under his control it were a mean
spirit that would not acknowledge
that the people of this section have
reason to be grateful to him for his
enterprise.
That Mr.. Hill is still an active help
err in the development of the north
west is evidenced by his address on
irrigation at the Bismarck convention.
The public will be pleased to learn
that Mr.. Hill was one of the pioneers
of the irrigation movement. He was
-..Crumental in getting railway COM
panies to institute a campaign of
education with a view to the encour-
agement of irrigation, not only in arid
but in semi-arid and ever in humid
regions. The question was finally
forced upon the attention of congress

about.
