NATIONAL IRRIGATION.
We congratulate the people of the state
of Nevada upon the passage of the Ma
tional Irrigation law. which will ulti
mately reclaim the arid lands of the
West, and which VII within a few years
transit rm the desert wastes of Nevada
into fruitful homesteads. We assert tina
the attempt to usurp the credit of TINS

persistently urged and fought for irri-

who have measured Western streams
and threaded the mountains and deserts
to learn the possibilities of storage ano

credit and the fullness of Nur gratitude

We rejoice in the requirement BY the

government of The United States ana
which will greatly promo. e the Industrial
