THERE is more land on the globe
developed under irrigation than
under rainfall.
1t has been said that the first irrigat-
ing canals were run from the four
rivers of paradise, Assyria, Nineveh,
Egypt, Peru and Mexico owed their
beauty and power to the ordered min
1stration of conducted water. The lofti-
est achievements of the human mind
and heart had birth in the rainless
lands. Irrigation always has been the
religion of semi-arid lands-the faith
which sees in the desert the promise
of springtime blades.
The early powerful civilizations of
which recorded history remains were
fostered and developed on breezy, arid
plateaus with artificial systems of irri-
cation. Such was that which carved
the mighty bas-reliefs of Nineveh, or
reared the hanging gardens of Babylon,
or which raised ancient Egypt from
the rank of bankrupt nation to a rich
land, with teeming population and all
the kindly fruits of the earth, under
the benefcent influences of Father ST.
hor.
The western world was to furnish yet
more magnificent proofs of the tran
scendent value of irrigation as the
foundation of nation building. Empires
Of the Aztecs and of the Peruvians
stand unparalleled in the power and
beauty conferred by as perfect systems
of irrigation as the world has seen.
Early American Irrigation
1t was not to be expected that the
bulk of the pre-Columbian, sedentary
aborigines of America would attain the
agricultural development (and the ir-
rigation system accompanying it) of
those two great nations Mexico and
Peru. In Colorado we find rock hewn
cisterns, made by the Pueblo Indians,
zigzag terraces on the canyon sides
and open stone set bitches. In New
Mexico there are only 100000 acres OF
land under irrigation out of so, 900, ,OOO
acres which make up the territory, and
except in a few instances these sys-
TENS We're devised by the Indians and
improved upon by the Spaniards-hav-
Ing done service for three centuries.
In Arizona, where the pre-CoIumbian
culture in many points approached
most closely the distinctive develop.
ment of Mexico, there were once 2,OOO,-
600 acres of land under irrigation, where
the modern American can show but
$4,000 acres under ditch. In the valleys
of the Salado and Gila rivers there
were several long forgotten cities
which would seem to have had from
100000 to 100000 inhabitants, and their
waterways are said by engineers to be
marvels OF engineering skill.
In considering what the blessings of
water meant to these ancient Ameri-
cans we have only to remark the su-
preme part it played in their folk lore
and religion. The whole religion of the
southwest. it mas been said. may be
summed up in single phrase-"A
prayer for rain!"

WASTE OF 1904.

Some impressive figures regarding
the waste OF last year are being pro
duceI by those persons who revel in
statistics. For instance, we are in
formed that the men killed in the wars
OF the world in 1904 make up waste
of 100000 lives. Russias contribution
in money alone to the war waste of the
year was 1854 100000. Waste by fire
in the United States and Canada
amounted to s215, 100000. This country
leads the world in the production of
great ash-heaps where homes and bus
mess blocks have previously stood.
Defalcations. entertainments, forgeries
and bank wreckings in this country in
1904 led the waste of $4,742,5O7. Waste
OF life by violent causes other than
war-such as the Slocum horror, vari-
Gus railroad accidents, explosions etc.
--approximated 10000 There were
moro than $500 homicidcs in the Uni
ted States and 81 lynchings.
1t ought to be an easy matter to i'm
prove the record at many points dur
ing the year just begun There GER
tainly is something wrong. with. the
conditions under which such waste is
possible. Individual improvement is
the royal highway to a more satisfac-
tory condition Of organized society.
Let each person carry out such new
year resolutions as will reduce the
great aggregate of inexcusable waste.
