for additional reclamation work.
Would Create Thousands Of homess
This plan of developing the internaf
resources of the country and making
homes of waste places, is splendid In
its scope, and appears to be entirely
practicable and profitable. Take for
instance, the single example Of the
swamp lands of the Kankakee River
basin in Indiana and Illinois. Here
are some 400 thousand acres of the
very richest of bottom lands, but sub
ject to overflow. They are worthless
except where they have been reclaimd
through expensive private drainage
works, when they have become worth
$100. and $3.50. an acre. Yet it is es-
timated by the government surveyors
and engineers that the entire system
could be effectively drained at cost
in the neighborhood of $40. an acre.
The same can be said of the lands of
the Red River Valley in Minnesota.
These include the finest grain and
farm lands in the northwest except
that they are frequently overfiowed. 1t
would be worth millions of dollars to
the farmers and settlers, who would
occupy these lands in small tracts. to
have a perfect system of drainage pro-
vided. These extensive systems, how
ever, especially where they are inter
state, seem to be feasible for handling
only by the general government.
The Steenerson bill places the en-
tire management of the work in the
Reclamation Service and the plan of
operation follows very closely the ir-
rigation work now being done by that
branch of the Interior Department.
Government lands, ceded Indian lands
and private lands may be included in
any drainage project, but in each case
the cost of the drainage improvement
is to be borne by the owner of the
land and no settler can have drainage
provided for more than 160 acres, thus
insuring the division of the tracts into
small farms which must be actually
settled upon and titled.
Drainage Work Already in Progress.
This work the Reclamation Service
Is qualified to do at this very moment.
While primarily an engineering bureau
1t has, in all Its great irrigation pro-
jects, to deal directly with the farmer.
1t must outline comprehensive GSain

to get Mrs. Bleakeley and the baby

ly overruled that plan and it was
agreed that Mrs. Bleakeley should re-

would put her on the train for Moline:
AS a precaution the Sheriff added

A very comprehensive DILL mas been
introduced in the House Of Representa-
tives by Congressman Steenerson OF
Minnesota, who, il he can push his
measure to enactment into = law, will
be deserving Of the praise Of not only
this but future generations. His bill
is practical extension of the old
homestead idea, or rather, perhaps, an
application, to the vast areas of our
swamp lands, of the idea embodied In
the national irrigation law.
There are in the neighborhood OF
100 million acres of swamp lands in
the United States; some 20 million Of
which have been surveyed, the great
bulk of which would make splendid
farms, il the excess Of water were
drained off.
The Steenerson bill provides for the
beginning of the work of reclamation
of these huge areas. The measure is
framed after the irrigation law; it pro-
vides that the receipts from the sales
of public lands in the non-irrigation
states shall constitute drainage
fund" to be expended by the Govern
ment in great drainage works, and
further, that the cost of such drainage
