matters pertaining tx irrigation. The
National Irrigation CongTess, now in its
eighteenth year, is made up of repre-
sentatives of all the leading irrigation
institutions throughout the country
states, cities, national and local asso-
Citations, water companies and interest
ed individuals. 1t is powerful and
thoroughly representative organization.
Recognizing this, the Territory of Ha-
wall was this year represented at the
meeting of the congress held at Spo-
kane by asdelegation of six members.
The aim of the delegation was to press
the claims of Hawaii and to secure the
endorsement by the congress of the
project to extend the Reclamation Act
to this Territory. In this quest we
were successful. The resolutions adopt
ed by the Seventeenth National Irriga-
tion Congress contain among other rec
concentrations this clause: eve nrge
the Congress of the United States to
extend the Reclamation Act to the Ter
ritory of Hawaii. -
Similar favorable action was also
secured at the First National Conserva-
ton Congress, held at Seattle, August
26 to %, where one of the resolutions
adopted was in favor of this project.
One other point gained may also be
noted in this connection. Largely
through the active interest and infu-
ence of Mr.. f. H. Newell, representa-
tives of Hawaii were given an oppor-
tunity in Seattle to appear before the
Senate Committee on Arid Lands, then
en- route on a tour of the West to in
vestigate various reclamation projects
1t is before this committee that the
bill to extend the Reclamation Act to
Hawaii, introduced at the last session
Of Congress by Prince Kuhio is now
awaiting consideration. The commit
tee listened with apparent interest to
a presentation of statements in favor of
Hawaii's contention, following which
briefs were filed giving the arguments
at greater length.
These are all steps in the right di-
reetion and properly followed up should
be of no small help in bring about
the desired result. But it is only the
beginning. To be successful the cam
paign must be increasingly waged until
the object Hawaii desires is secured.
One of the reasons why we were sue
eessful at Spokane and Seattle was
that we knew precisely what we want
ed and went after that one thing What
is needed now IS that the points gain
ed so far be followed up. We have

lens. Water experts are already on
the ground. Other experts are on their
way here to ascertain the exact situa-
ton and need in the way of maps.
What is wanted now is better Under
standing by the general public of the
reason for these investigations and the
end toward which they lead. 1t can
not too often be said that the final
goal-the essential purpose of all CON
servation work, here or on the main
land is the making possible of more
American homes. An enlightened pub
lie sentiment helps tremendously in
backing up such work and keeping it
gong. Much local interest already ex-
lists. This interest will increase when
the people know more about what is
intended and what is being done. The
diffusion of such information is peeu-
harry the duty of such an Organization
as this. The members of the Hawaii
Branch of the Woman's National Rig-
ers and Harbors Congress can do no
more useful work than by posting them
selves accurately on this subject and
then passing the word along.
Over in the Pacific Northwest one of
the best of the many local catch
phrases is, 1 think, that of WalIa
Walla: "What Walla Walla wants is
YOU.' What Hawaii needs is that we
all get together and work to bring
about snch a condition of things that
we can stand on an even footing with
our friends on the mainland and be
able to offer to prospective settlers an
equally good, if not better chance
in Hawaii nei. Unfortunately we can
not do that now Economic conditions
here are not yet ripe for the immediate
influx of large number of American
settlers But through the intelligent,
consistent and continued application of
the principles of conservation, backed
up by an ever increasing public senti-
ment, Hawaii may one day hope to be
equipped adequately to play the part
that unauestionably waits for her in
the great world drama of the develop
ment of the Pacific.
