SEWELL'S POINT
 HlST0RlC LOCALITY
Armies of Three Wars Have Marched
 Over Exposition Grounds.

Norfolk. Va. Sept. 3.-In compiling a history of the Jamestown exposition to be held on Sewen's Point on Hampton Roads, near Norfolk in 1907, Charles W. COnsolYo, who takes a deep inter est in the history of the subject. has unearthed many interesting facts. He is a Hneal descendant of d princely house of Castle and could. ii he so desired, deck his name with number less Dons and Ys. He. however, pre- fers the simpler life of this country and scorns all titles.
 Among other interesting facts. he has discovered that it was from SeweITs Point near the site of the exposition that the English first saw Chesapeake Bay which the friendly Chesap peake Indians tod the white men, sIgnified Mother of the Waters" These ex- plorers had been sent out from the settlement founded by Sir Walter Ral- eigh on Roanoke Island in 1885. The expedition had been sent out under command of Sir Richard GrenvilIe, who afteTward attained immortal fame by his stubborn fight against fifty three Spanish. ships with his little yes sel the Revenge. He left the colonists under the command of Captain Ralph Lane, who during the winter set out with a few companions to explore the country to the northward. Captain Lane after much toll and privation reached SeweIIs Point and there dis covered the village oi Chesapeake In dians, who showed him the mighty bay lying behind Old Point Comfort
 The Roanoke colony was abandoned shortly after this. The colonists sur fered fIightfuI privations and were in- cessanty attacked by the hostile In dians. Sir Walter Raleigh ordered that a settlement should be established on the site of the present city of Norfolk but owing to lack of proper naval CO., operation the colony was not estab- lished.
 The Chesapeake Indians were q tribe of four hundred people with one hun dTed fighting men. When Lane came to Seweu's Point they were encamped on that point with their tepees spread out in wide circle
 The first white man to settle on the point was Henry Seweu, who built his house there in 1639. He was a member of the house of burgesses of lower Nor folk county. Of the buildings erected by MT. Sewell only two remain. One of these is the old blacksmith shop and the other is a dwelling house which stands on the site of the first court house and jail ever erected in the Eng

MR. FAIRBANKS, ADDRESS.

MT. President and members of the
 National Irrigation Congress: It is i'm
 possible to exaggerate the importance
 of the work in which you are engaged.
 It is fraught with iar-reaching inter
 est. not only to the present but to
 the future IL is a subject to which I
 have given considerable attention dur
 ing my public service. for l have been a firm believer in tn feasibility of nat
 Ional irrigation, as now contemplated
 in the arid and semi arid regions. It
 will bring under cultivation large areas of the public domain. which would oth- erwise remain sterile and practically uninhabitable.
 The rapid increase of population and the pre-emption and settlement of the areable portions of the public lands, has rendered it important that We should reclaim the waste places and make them productive through a wise irrigation system, which lies beyond the capacity of Individual effort. This pol icy is in the highest degree beneficient. It not only enlarges the field of whole some individual opportunity, but it Is very especial degree. of national signi
 f.cance. IL increases the opportunity for the development of the agricultural regions of the republic, for multiplying the number of American farms and American homes, thereby augmenting the great conservative forces which are the surest reliance and safeguard of our political institutions. I firmiy believe that the most conservative clements. which will always be found on the farm You will generally find among the mil lions throughout the great agricultural regions less tendency than elsewhere to inconsiderate and hysterican judgment
 The general subject which is under consideration is one of those great practical, everyday questions which re- quiTe the application of good business sense. The real beneiactor, we under stand, is tI-e one who makes two blades of grass grow where one grew before. Those who have been engaged in the promotion of irrigation fall most dis tinctly within his definition and are benefactors of tn cir day and kind. They have the satisfaction oi knowing that they have in m easure. promoted the interest and welfare of the home mak- CTS. The home builders of America have been and are as a rule. a hardy people, in love with nature and enam- ored of their institutions. They have thus far overcome many of the seem ingly impossible obstacles of nature in the great arid and semi-arid regions, and have erected their habitation and made prosperous and happy ncig.hbor- hoods. They are entitled to all sue cess in their benefiGient enterprise. Some of our wisest statesmen, at not very remote past. had but little

conception of the possibilities which
 many of you have opened up to our country and our civilization. We may well believe that, with our larger ex-
 perience and greater light, we have
 an inadequate conception of the vast possibilities of this western section of
 the country. as many of our predeces- Sors had of the large development which has already been accomplished
 The growth of the irrigation thus far is largely due to individual and corpor- ate enterprise. It has been carried on
 by our people for many years in more or less satisfactory way. but it has not beea until recently the subject of nat ional consideration. No one can ap- preciate the magnitude and the possi-
 bilities of the reclamation service in which the national government is en- gagged and which you are met to en- courage, who has not looked upon what irrigation has already accomplished. Go into the valleys of Arizona, Califor- mia. Colorado. Idaho. Montana. New Mexico, Nevada Oregon Utah, Wash ington. Wyoming. and so on. and some conception can be gained of the won drous possibilities of the future by what has already been done. Fruits. vegetables, grains and grasses of aI- most every variety are produced in profusion upon lands which but few years ago seemed to the casual ob- server absolutely VaIueless and beyond the hope of cultivation have observ- ed in many places, to employ the Ian Suage of Whittier,

 Irrigated lands are made to yiel,: many fold more than the best unirri gated lands and the certainty of good crops seems to be assured. There is a | guaranty against the bIithing effects of drouth. and the intelligent hus- bandman is certain of a bountiful yield as the fruit of his industry The desert is fast disappearing before the ! magic touch of American genius. ! thrift and pluck What a few years ! ago. seemed to be impossible, is now ! being accomplished. It has been dems 1 onstrated that there is no investment ! which has yielded better or surer re- | suits than money spent in the con | structiOn of feasible irrigation works It is estimated that some ten millions | of acres are now irrigated through | individual and corporate effort and | that the value of our agricultural pro- ducts has been thereby increased in the sum of more than an hundred and | fifty millions of dollars per annum It is also estimated that this annual in crease is in excess of the total cost of irrigation works through which it is made possible.
 When we consider, in addition to the large money value of the increased annual yield through irrigation. the many incidental resulting therefrom. the magnitude and importance of the subject can be more fully appreciated
 The government has not entered upon the subject of irrigation hastily, and without the utmost consideration. The matter has been thoroughly de- Dated ard considered in it's physical and economic aspects. When it was first suggested it was regarded by those who had given it only superff- cial consideration, as impracticable and as involving a tremendous and

and conserve the productive power of our agricultural regions. Scientific irrigation on broad lines will be a fac tor of increasing future importance in most of the states and territories of the union.
 It is important not only to promote the interests of irrigation, but there is a correlated subject which is worthy of consideration. and that is, how shall We reinforce and maintain at its highest efficiency the productive pow CT of the soil? Farming is fast be- coming a science and the most sue cessful farmer is one who under stands the chemistry of the soil and the products for which 1t is best suit ed. We are making marvellous pro gress in every department of our do- nestle economy and nowhere is our advancement more marked than in the great field of agriculture.

1 and for thereafter prosecuting the
 work, 1t will have hte proceeds de- rived from the future sales of the public domain and the return from the
 land heretofore irrigated
 It was the purpose of the authors of
 the reclamation act that irrigation
 undertaken by the national govern
 ment should not be entered upon for
 the benefit of mere speculators. 1T
 was their purpose that the public do-
 main and the proceeds arising from
 its sale, should be appropriated ab-
 solutely and entirely for the benefit of homeseeKers. The law wisely provides
 that the limit of area per entry upon the lands irrigable shall be restricted to what would be reasonably required Tor the support of a family. In order tEat the entry man may enjoy the benefit of the law, actual and confin- ed residence on the land is required
 It IS obviously the purpose of the great measure, and is one of it's most commendable features. to insure homes, to the greatest number of per sons, and to bring soil now sterile un- der high state of cultivation and productiveness. for their benefit and for the benefit of the entire country
 believe that irrigation is only in the preliminary stages of it's develop ment in the United States Much has been done, it is true. There is. how ever, vast deal more to be accom- pIlshed. There are many millions of acres still lying within the arid and semi-arid regions, which are non-pro- ductive. and which may. in due time. be irrigated. This area is of indefinite extent IL is variousIy estamated at from fifty to one hundred millions of acres Of course. the acreage. which may be irrigated will depend in large degree upon the quantity of water which can be stored in the great reservoir systems to be established The best opinion would seem to indi- cate that it is reasonably certain that sufficient water may be obtained for irrigating at least fifty millions of acres. Twenty millions of acres of this tremendous area vet a mart of the public domain. When the whole IS brought under cultivation by means Of Irrigation the wealth of the nation will be increased five billions of dol lars.
 This work cannot be accomplished in day and it will probably not be done without some mistakes. It will require time, experience. scientific skill, and a large expenditure of money to do it. The field is indeed, a vast one and it invites our best endeavor.
 While we are concerned particular Iy with the extension of the irrigation service into the arid and semi-arid regions, l believe in time it will be largely increased iu many other DOT tions of the country. The waters in many of our rivers and streams, out side of the arid and semi-arid areas. will be raised and spread over many sections where the rainfall is uucer- tain and where crops are occasionally destroyed or reduced in yield in conse- quence. We can see the limit of our arabic areas but We cannot see the limit of the demand of our increasing population, nor the extent of the de nand of millions in foreign countries .or American food supplies.
 one of the great practical questions of the future will be how to increase

fish colonies. The dwelling is in a good state oi preservation and the curious windows are still barred by iron bars imported from England. Over the Jamestown exposition grounds the armies engaged in three wars have marched During the Revolution Sew els Point was the scene of several skirmishes. During the war of 1872 when the British attacked and de- stroyed Hampton they stopped at Sew els Point. In the Civil war the point was occupied by the battery of the Confederate defenses of Norfolk
 The flint with which the Chesapeake Indians tipped their arrowheads was quarried from the banks Of Boush's creek, which bounds one side of the exposition grounds. The glamour of pirates and witches who have in the far past haunted the locality still hangs about the place and historical reminis- cence assOciating SewelTs Point with almost every stage of the nations his tory abounds.
 From the dome of the auditorium and hall of congresses seven different cOun- ties may be seen over whose fertile land have rolled some of the bloodiest conflicts of all time.

On the northeast is Northampton county and on the east is East Princess Anne. The exposition site is in Norfolk county.

unnecessary drain upon the national l treasury. The fact was that individ-
 uaI and corporate enterprise had car ried the work forward as far as it ! could reasonably do so. The larger
 and more difficult propositions await i ed the action of the national govern ment.
 1 The existing irrigation law was put | upon the statute books in 1902. The | law is founded upon an entirely rat ] ional and defensible theory. It is en- tireIy just and equitable. None better has been enacted by the congress of the United States in recent years. It provides substantially that the
 money arising from the sale of public lands shall be set apart iii a special fund, to be used exclusively for trri- gatiOn purposes. The money so deriv- ed is to be expended in the establish ment and construction of irrigation
 works and is to become a charge upon
 the land benefited. and is to be repaid
 to the government by the land owner
 in not more than ten annual paymets.
 It is returned to the reclama ton fund
 and is to be again used in the inua-
 guration and development of new irri-
 gation projects. In short. the fund
 becomes an endless chain extending
 its blessings to future years. Not d
 dollar comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers of the country to promote this great work, IL is estimated that the amount to the credit of the re- clamatiOn service at the close of the fiscal year, 1908. will be $4144157295.
 Irrigation by the national govern ment has been undertaken so recently that it's beneficient results have not yet been felt. The secretary of the interior has authorized the construc- uon many projects in the states of California. Idaho, Colorado Kansas, Montana. Nebraska. Nevada North Dakota. Oregon. South Dakota, Utah. Washington and Wyoming and in the territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
 The first allotment for such con struction is about S4I.441.5T2. and when this expenditure is made it will bring under irrigation nearly 200. 900 acres. IL will be observed that the cost of the work now authorized is equivalent to the estimated amount of the reclamation fund in 190S This will not, however, complete the work. It will require some sixty millions of dollars, in addition, to finish the pro Jects now undertaken, and when they are completed the total amount of land irrigated will be 3.2OO. 900 acres.
 The secretary of the interior has un- der consideration additional projects In Arizona. California. Colorado. Ida ho, Montana, New Mexico. Nevada. Oklahoma, oregon. Utah. Washington and Wyoming, which will cost about $l09,O 900. and which when complet- ed, will bring under irrigation. 3.O7O.- 900 acres. It will thus be seen that when the government completes the . work now undertaken and in coutem- plation, il will render arabic nearly . {, 100000 acres at cost of d little i more than $200. .OOO 900.
 To prosecute the work which it has ! and which lies before it. . the government will have in hand, as heretofore observed. nearly forty . and half million dollars in 1908. an amount sufficient to cover the first . unit of cost of the project authorized.
