Founded Upon Just Principles.

The. existing irrigation law was put
upon the statute books i'm 1902 The law
is founded upon an entirely rational and
defensible theory. 1t is entirely Just and
equitable. None better has been enacted
by the congress of the United States in
recent years.
1t provides substantially that the money
arising from the sale of public lands shall
be set apart in a special fund to be used
exclusively for irrigation purposes. The
money so derived is TO be expended in
the establishment 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 i'm not more than ten annual
payments IT is returned TO the reclaIra-
ton fund and is to be again used In
the Inauguration and development of new
irrigation projects. In short. the fund
becomes an endless chain extending it's
blessings TO future years. Not a dollar

and the intelligent husbandman Is certain
Of bountiful yield as the fruit of his
industry. The desert is fast disappearing
before the magic touch OF American ge-
MUS, thrift and pluck. What few
years ago seemed 10 be impossible, IS now
being accomplished. 1t has been demon
strated that there Is no investment which
money spent In the construction Of feas-
ible irrigation works. 1t is estimated
that some ten millions of acres are now
irrigated through individual and corpora te
effort and that the value of our agricult-
ural products has been thereby increased
IN the sum of more than a 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 10 the
large money value of the increased annual
yield through irrigation. the MANY Incl
dental benefits resulting therefrom, the
magnitude and Importance of the subject
OF national irrigation can be more fully
appreciated.
THE government has not entered upon
the subject of irrigation hastily and with
out the utmost consideration. The matter
has been thoroughly debated and consid-
cred in its physical and economic aspects

garded by those who had given it only
superficial consideration as impractica-

FAIRBANKS ON UNION OF CHURCHES.
Vice Presidents Address Before Method 81
Conference Was Interesting.

conference vas interesting.
In his address before the Method
list general conference at Birmingham,
Vice President Fairbanks, in refer
ring to the prospective union Of the
two churches, said:
Il do not know how long the fol
lowers Of John Wesley will dwell
apart in the United States. l have
faith to believe that the barriers which
still divide us are growing less for
midable with the lapse OF time, ana
that they Will ultimately yield, and
union will be established between the
Methodist Episcopal church and the
Methodist Episcopal church, south,
thereby creating one of the greatest
instruments for good in the entire
Christian world
We each and all desire TO see the
symmetrical development of our com,
mon country. We wish to see an in
telectual, Industrious, patriotic and
religious people, firmly welded togeth-
er We desire particularly to see the
lines Of division between sections
completely obliterated and forgotten
Il trust that Methodism may not
long be divided upon lines of former
sectional differences - differences
which, thank God, are past and gone
forever and forever.
May we not hope to see the great
bishops whom YOU honor and whom
we honor in the north presiding over
conferences in every portion Of the
republic. May we not hope to see q
united church, freely transferring its
ministers between the north and the
south, as we'll as between the west
and the east?
such interchange between the va
riOus portions OF our country will
serve nightly to advance a whole
some national purpose. We all earn
estly hope to see the myriad inau
ences making for good among us,
threading from north to south and
from east to west, weaving the pep
pie of all sections into a homogeneous
whole
Consolidated Methodism would
tend in a considerable degree to pro
mote the intellectual and moral in
tercsts Of the entire country. Ma
tional solidarity will be advanced IN
sosne measure, in fact, as well as In
name, when Methodism comes into
complete organic fellowship"
The vice president spent day in
birmingham and delivered Ave speech
es. The first was a short talk to the
general conference in the morning.
At the Country Club he spoke to rep
resentatives Of the commercial bod
les Of the city
