THAT IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The senior senator putting no little time IN try
ing to convince the people of Kansas and the west
generally that it is feasible to store spring flood
waters for the purposes of irrigation later on in the
season For one we think most of or at least many
OF the irrigation schemes being advocated are either
pipe dreams or a prospective graft The running
stream is the if not the only profitable source
of irrigation When it comes to a proposition to
store waters the amount in tons of water required
by a single acre for single season should not be
lost sight of even if the great cost of storage is g
nored. OF course the Eleventh Irrigation congress
which met in Ogden, Utah, in September, brought
out much interesting discussion and suggestion in
regard to the problems of irrigation, forestry agri-
culture and horticulture in the semi-arid and arid
regions Some 6O6OOO,OOO acres of vacant public
land remain to be reclaimed by irrigation The
president of the congress estimated that there is
water available under the present storage system
to irrigate onesxteenth of that He urged that
the should in the next thirty years provide
reservoirs sufficient to reclaim 20,0O00OO acres at
an annual cost of s10,0OO,000 The money would
be wen spent, even if the prediction that the re-
claimed land will provide homes for from 100000
to 900 900 persons be gilded with enthusiasm but
remains to be demonstrated that it is practical
or even possible to reclaim 10000 900 acres at an
annual cost of 100000. There are $16,O00,00O
now in the treasury in the way of money received as
proceeds of sales of land in irrigated regions and
which as a reclamation fund only be expended
in the direction of irrigation.

ENGLAND's OLD AGE PENSIONS.

That the British government is still considering
the advisabilty of providing old age pensions for
paupers seems TO be indicated blythe fact that the
boards of guardians and other bodies have been in
structed to ascertain as far possible the number
OF workhouse and infrmary inmates OF 60 years and
who would be able to turn to account pension
of SIPS a week. The local authorities are also
asked to give return of those who through physical
irfrmity other cause could not avail themselves
OF such pension without additional aid. The ques

houses and inirmaries is. If the government were
TO allow you s125 a week. do you consider you could

the object of this action the part of the govern
