What Irrigation Means.

This has before been possible, and
has kept great portions OF the west
under the control Of few. The first
object OF cattle owner Is to obtain
the control OF water. This he does by
securing the entry of title to the pub
lie laaas along the banks Of a stream.
He mas no interest In the promotion
Of settlement. Small homes interfere
with his business, and their multiple
cation will ultimately substitute
number OF independent farmers. hav-
Ing small irrigated tracts in which
they will raise the hay necessary to
support their small herds during the
winter season, when the storm ana
winds threaten the lives of the cattle.
Irrigation means the multiplication OF
the small homes and Of the small
herds, and a larger utilization Of the
great American desert.
Under the provisions OF the bill
eight hours work is to constitute
days labor. in the construction Of
reservoirs and canals, and provision is
made that no Mongolian workman
shall be employed. A fund Of some
twelve million dollars Is already avail
able, and rs the bill provides that
each project shall be self-compensa-
tory. compelling the settlers TO pay
back to the fund ten annual INSTALL

the cost Of each construction, q con-

which will gradually increase from
three million dollars to ten million

HOW IT oPERAT TES.
The Manner in which Twelve
Million Dollars are to
BE used.
BY SEN. NEWLANDS or NEVADA

The irrigation bill which passed
both houses OF congress during the
session Of 1909 was measure Of
great Importance, and Is expected To
work inestimable benefit to the people
of the United States.
II is the FIRST notable mark Of prog
rsas Of the national irrigation move-
ment, begun ten or twelve years ago,
and continued with gathering strength
and determination 70 the present time.
II sprang from hesneeds of d growing
nation. and this elamor for proper
legislation TO make useful the great
American desert has been in direct
proportion 10 the increase of hoins-
seeking people.
The bill provides that all moneys
received from the sale and disposal OF
public lands In Arizona, California,
Colorado. Idaho, Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska. Nevada, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
South Dakota, Utah, Washington and
Wyoming, comprising the arid belt
of the country, excepting the funds
set aside from the sales OF public
lands In these states for educational
and other purposes, shall be set aside
as special fund in the treasury
known as the reclamation fund. It
ii to be used In the examination and
survey for, and the construction and
maintenance of, irrigation works for
the storage and diversion OF water In
reclamation of the arid and semi'arid
lands"
This income includes the proceeds
from the sale Of mining and mineral
lands. as well as from those Of q
different character. and, at present,
aggregates about three million dollars
year. By the provisions OF the bill
any one person will not be able to
gain for private ownership tract ex-
ceedlng one hundred and sixty acres,
and in order to procure even this he
must reside upon It for Ave years,
and actually reclaim at least one-half
Of the total irrigable area for agricuit-
ural purposes. Thus It viii be impos-
sible for one Individual, or a group OF
individuals. TO gain monopoly in
land.

In the first opening Of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling a.
bout and afterward his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
heat, gave him very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came SO bad he expected to die. One
day one of his neighbers brought him
one small bottle Of fChamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as . last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground In
great agony, and In . few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effects Of
the medicine was soon noticed and with.
