MAGNITUDE OF RECLAMATION.
State of Montana Cound Use 500, ,OOO..
900 for Irrigation.

Something of the magnitude of the
work of government irrigation is told
by Governor Pardee, of California.
who said in an address at Boise yes
terdAy:
How wide this field of endeavor is,
and how great the harvest. may be
imagined when we reflect that the re-
ciamation service already has surveyed
and approved reclamation enterprises
that will involve the expenditure of a
round s100,000,000. whereas the esti-
mated total for the reclamation fund
by the end of 1908 is only s41, ,000, ,OO0.
Montana alone rs said to be await
ing the expenditure of 500, ,OO0, ,Oo0 in
this work, but $290,000,000 will not
adequately reservoir the western slope
Of tire Sierra Nevada mountains of
California.
Their Is not tho smallest need that
private and governmental enterprise
shall get in each others way in recla-
nation work, that private enterprises
should sit idly down on some arid plain
and do nothing worth while In the
hope that the reclamation service will
presently come along and do its work
for IL.

RECLAMATION EMPLOYEES.
Over 400 Engineers and 1000 EN-
ployes I'm the Service.

On the fourth anniversary of the
formation OF the reclamation service
from the photographic branch of the
geological survey, 1t has definitely
broken away from the parent body
and moved into new quarters at
Washington.
During the four years of its exist
ence the organization has increased
from less than n dozen men to over
400 engineers and assistants, carrying
ON work throughout widely scattered
localities In the arid west.
Contracts have been let and work
Is under way involving the expendi-
ture Of upwards of $25, 200, 900, and
other contracts are being prepared
which will necessitate the expendi-
ture in all OF nearly $40, 900, 900.
There are now working for the
contractors about 10000 men, and the
reclamation service has working di-
rectly for 1t over 1000 men, Including
day laborers and mechanics. The
monthly expeditures aggregate about
$1,OOO,O0O, having gradually increas-
ed until they are now practically at
the maximum. 1t is not probable that
there will be further expansion, but
on the contrary, a considerable con-
soldation and reduction of force as
the larger works are completed.
The rapid growth of the reclama-
ton service is indicated by the annual
expenditures. For the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1903, these were a little
over half million dollars: for 1904.
one and one-half millions; for 1905,
three and three-quarter millions, and
for the year ending June 80, 1906,
very nearly eight millions, the greater
part OF this amount being expended
during the months of May and June,
when the expenditures reached over
a million dollars each.

The irrigation treaty between the
United States and Mexico has been
completed.
Secretary Root for the United States
and Ambassador Casasus for the Mex
lean government signed treaty reg
ulating the use Of the waters of the
Rio Grande, which has been approved
by the senate, and which will re-
move what has been for 20 years past
source of friction in the relations
of the two countries.
For almost a century the Mexicans
have used the waters for irrigating.
But in recent years private COM
panies on the upper waters in the
United States have, by the construc-
ton of dams. diverted a large part OF
the water to this side Of the river.
The Mexicans have preferred claims
for damages, but so far without sue
cess.
Now the plans of the reclamation
service have made It certain that
practically all of the water will be
retained on American soil unless some
proper scheme Of division can be ar
ranged.
The construction of the $1,000. 900
dam across the Rio Grande at Engel.
New Mexico, brought the matter to a
climax and led to negotiations between
the two countries which eliminated
in the recognition of the common law
right Of the Mexicans to the use of a
fair share of the waters OF the river
but as the United States government
is put to the entire expense of build
ing the great dam and the canals. the
Mexican share is only fractional pro-
portion OF the whole flow.
1t is estimated that the impounded
waters will suffice to irrigate about
100000 acres Of otherwise arid land.
and It is stipulated that Of this total
10000 acre-feet OF water. which is to
make arabic about $4,000 acres or
land, will be delivered on the Mexican
side OF the border each year.
The Mexican government guarantees
the United States against any suit for
liability on account OF the claims of
individual Mexicans who have so far
suffered through the diversion of the
water. Opposition to the treaty was
expressed by some of the western sem
ators, who expressed the belief that
the United States is entitled to the
water in view of the great expense TO
which II has been put by the work of
constructing the irrsgating dams and
canals, or that II the>Mexican right is
to be recognized az all its title should
be purchased outright by cash pay
