PRIVATE WORK PROGRESSES.
You know why we are here" he con-
tinued. I'VE come to inform ourselves
about the reclamation Of the desert by
putting life-giving waters on 1t. Nowhere
else on earth have such marvels been
wrought as you have wrought here. No
where else under the canopy Of heaven
does the soil respond to the touch Of man
as 1t does here. What you have done In
the way of irrigation is only begin
ning-only a drop in the bucket COM
pared with what will be done. Where one
acre has been reclaimed there are hun
dreds yet to be brought under water.
There are many barren valleys that will
be made to blossom as the rose and fruc-
tify under the touch Of water and the
cultivation of the prosperous farmers that
shall occupy them.
''You cannot realize yourself. even,
none of US can realize what 1t means IN
the way of wealth when the profit per
acre runs into the hundreds of dollars
and where the product is assured Other
States are limited in the produce Of their
lands They necessarily have to produce
less profitable crops and less of what they
can grow than do the rich lands Of this
State under water Upon the returns
from the land depends the amount that
can justifiably be expended in irrigation
works. Here there Is practically no limit
within reason to the amount that can be
expended to reclaim your lands by the
introduction Of water, they are so pro-
ductive.
ssIt was not desired by those who draft
ed the national irrigation law to take
away from any section the benefits of
private enterprise In irrigation works.
They hoped in fact to develop them. and
they were not disappointed. Two days
from now we hope to witness the opening
of the first Government irrigation system
that has, been completed since the law
was passed. During that time millions
of dollars have been spent on private
irrigation works. Private enterprise has
not been discouraged because the Gov
ernment took up irrigation work. 1t Is
not the intention Of the Government to
occupy the whole field, no, nor has It.

MoNDELL's FUNNY STORY.
Congressman Mondell started OF well

on the part Of the people of your State .
he said. II feel very much as a newly
enlightened Congressman from Indiana
remarked to some friends on the closing
day Of last session. He went to Wash
ington, as is the custom of newly-elected
members, to view the scene of their COM
ing triumphs. and one of his constit-
uents who met him there asked him how
he liked 1t in Washington. He said he
had heard all about the magnificent hos
pitality accorded TO newcomers there, but
had never had any idea of what 1t was
like until he got to the capital Why,
he said, L haven't had my knife out of

hospitality of your glorious State for a

to what has already been said. Your
chairman has called attention to the Won
derful progress your State has made. a
progress that we can all realize, and
which all must be impressed with. My
distinguished colleague from Pennsylvania
has told you what we have experienced
since reaching your State. and your
townsman, Mr.. Reed, has read his views
on the irrigation situation In California.
It might not be well for me to advance
those views before a California audience
lit might be deemed impertinent for me
to tell q California audience what 1t
should do, but there are matters that
must be considered here In California. it
seems to me, in the way of legislation to
better irrigation conditions and the profit

CONGRESSMAN Mondell spoke of the great

There is even something in this grand
country that seems TO overcome the heat

Ell Paso and of the stay at Phoenix and
the irrigation sights they saw at those
places.

SANTA fE REFUNDS
VAST SUM OF MONEY
Auditor of Road Places Yearly
Overcharge at a High
Figure

TOPEKA. Kan. March g. - During
the year ending June 80, 1902, the San
Ia Fe paid back to shippers $1,519, sS2.
This fact was developed in the exam
nation today of W. j. Healy, freight
auditor of the Santa Fe, before the at
torney general who Is taking deposit
lions In the case he has instituted to
ascertain whether or not the Santa
F'e is violating the antitrust law OF
Kansas.
Mr.. Healy said that this amount con-
stitutes the total Of overcharges made
Tor the year and that he could not give
the names OF the shippers to whom
payments were made without referring
to the original vouchers. He said it
would take three or four months to get
the vouchers and on the advice of r.
w. Dunlap, general attorney for the
Santa Fe, Mr.. Healy temporarily de-
ciined TO consent TO an examination Of
MS vouchers and records.
IL Is the theory of the state that
these overcharges are i'm reality rebates
and that an examination of the youch-
ers Will show that the greater portion
or the payments have been made to the

CUTSUP THE PROFITS
Letter Charges Standard and
Gould Lines Conspired

TOPEKA, March 81 During the
discussion today Attorney Monnett in
troduced letter. purporting to come
from a former ernploye OF the Stand
ard Oil company. at Joplin, Mo. The
missive alleges that upon the compile
ton of the Standard Oil company's nine
lines an agreement was entered into
between the Standard and the Santa
Fe, the Missouri Pacific. the Missouri
Kansas & Texas railway, and possibly
others. whereby the tariff for trans
portatioD Of oil over these lines should
be placed at an exorbitant and pro-
hibitive figure. The railways were TO
profit from this transaction through
distribution among the railways of 10
cents on every barrel OF oil run
through the Standards pipe line.
This made 1t impossible for the in
dependent companies to ship crde oil
and had the effect OF eliminating com
petition TO the Standard Oil company.
The theory is that the Standard made
the producer stand this expense by
reducing the price OF crude petroleum
a corresponding amount. The hear
Ing Will be resumed Monday.
