NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS


 The movement that has done more than all other agencies com bined in awakening public inter- est and stimulating the great work of desert redemption which is now going on so rapidly in the west is the National Irrigation Congress. Beginning fourteen years ago in an academic way and as the work of enthusiasts it rapidly grew until its meetings were national in scope as well as in name. And a great work has already been done by this aglta- tion and a much greater work will be done. The foundation of all this great work is the demand for governmental aid in the work of redeeming the desert. It took years of labor and argument to bring this question to the atten- tion of congress and more years to secure favorable action upon it. Finally however, by enlist ing the powerful influence of President Roosevelt the friends of the west were able to secure the enactment ot the National Irrigation Act on June 17th, 1902. This law Is admitted to be as near perfect as any law that has ever been placed upon our statute books. It provides that the mon ey received from the sale and dis posal of the public lands In the arid states and territories shall be devoted to the construction of irrigation works for the rec1ama- tion of arid lands Ill the several states and territories affected. This arrangement is extremely simple and not open to attack on any side. The operation of the law was placed 1n the hands of the interior department and as the fund has accumulated vast ir- rigation works have been under. taken all over the west. In some of these water Is already being delivered and all of them are pro. gressing rapidly with the work of construction. The work of the irrigation congress however. did not cease nor its importance wane with the enactment of the National Irrigation Act. Just as soon as that law was passed and the National Reclamation Fund established hungry horde ot grafters set to work to rob that fund and divert the peoples heri tage into their own pockets. To the everlasting honor ot the Rec lamation Service be 1t said they have never succeeded in a single instance.

JACK SULLY BETWEEN
COVERS OF A BOOK
brother and Sister of Mitchell,
s. D.. Write a Thrilling
Novel.
THEIR WORK IS ACCEPTED
Famous Cattle Rustler is Chief Bad
Mar in Story, Which Also Con-
tains a Tale Of Love-Got
Material in Court.

Mitchell, 8. D.. Nov. 29.-Jack Sully
ma at last broker into literature. If
he proves as successful in this as he
did in stealing cattle and standing off
the officers who pursued his gang for
years, somebody biting the dust ev-
cry once and a while, then the literary
career of Suliy will be brilliant.
But Sully being dead-killed a couple
of years ago-it has fallen to others to
project him into letters. The task has
apparently been accomplished with sue
cess by Kate and Virgil D.. Boyles, of
this city. They have written a novel
tn which Sully is the chief of a desper-
ate gang Of cattle rustlers, ana in
which an appealing love story is told.
The book to be called, "Langford of the
Three Bars" will be published March
4 by A. G. McClurg & Co., Chicago.
Mr.. Boyles is court s~tenographer for
the fourth judicial circuit and in the
winter and spring of 1901 and 1902 there
were some exciting times in the trials
oe the cattle rustlers, in which q num-
Der We're convicted. At that time Mr..
Bcyles conceived the idea of writing
a story with the theme founded in in
cidents relative to the cattle stealing
that had been going on for years, with
the notorious Jack Sully, now dead,
as the leader in the bunch.
The work will be Illustrated by some
leading artist, probably N. c. Wyeth,
who depicts western life in a very
painstaking manner.
