NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

The new national irrigation law, In
spired by President Roosevelt, Is des-
tined to reclaim 1JO,OOO.OO0 acres OF
fertile soil during the next thirty years.
These lands are located west OF the
Missouri river aud are now barren des-

These moneys come from the sale OF

One of the B..t OF the session.

On first consideration it would seem
that the irrigation bill possessed only
sectional advantages to the West. but it
really means much to the eastern mar
kets of this country. When President
Roosevelt succeeded to the presidency,
the friends of irrigation found their
strongest ally. for one OF the Presidents
first acts was to place himself in line
with the best irrigation sentiment of the
country. President Roosevelt, 1t is said,
regards the irrigation bill as one Of the
best measures which his signature has
made law.-Brooklyn Times.

The bugaboo Of injurious competition
